Queen Bo had just wiped away her tears before she had time to dry them.
An eunuch had already walked into the palace, knelt down and reported: "Queen, the emperor has an edict, please move to Qingliang Hall..." The eunuch raised his head and saw Liu De, kowtowed again: "Your Highness, please come with us.
…”
"Mr. Cheng, what happened?" Bo Rongnu walked over calmly. He was obviously familiar with the eunuch. Liu De saw Bo Rongnu secretly stuffing a jade pendant for the eunuch.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to talk nonsense..." The eunuch pinched the jade pendant, but finally returned it to Bo Ronnu's hand: "This is something that will kill your head..."
After hearing this, Queen Bo and Liu De immediately became serious.
In the Han Dynasty, eunuchs accepted bribes. This was a long-standing unspoken rule.
Bribery within the palace has almost never stopped.
At that time, Emperor Liu Bang of the Gao Dynasty was besieged on Baishan Mountain. It was Xiao He who bribed Modun Chanyu's favorite concubine with a large sum of money, and this averted a major change.
When Empress Lu was in power, the princes and ministers competed to bribe Lu's children. In order to protect himself, Qi King Liu Fei even offered a county's territory to bribe Princess Lu Yuan.
If the top officials are like this, the ministers and eunuchs below will naturally follow suit.
And this eunuch actually refused the bribe, which was great news, indicating that the emperor must have been angry.
Bo Rongnu smiled and stuffed the jade pendant back into the eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "When did I, Bo, take back the things that I, Mr. Bo, gave me? Mr. Cheng, you are looking down on me!"
The eunuch's face became a little better now. He silently accepted the jade pendant, stuffed it into his arms, and whispered: "I can't say anything else. I can only tell the Queen and His Highness that this time His Majesty is really angry, but he is not angry."
I’m not here for the Queen and Your Highness…”
"Well, thank you Chenggong for the suggestion!" Bo Ronnu smiled and said.
Queen Bo and Liu De looked at each other and then stood up and said: "Liu De, please come with me to the Qingliang Palace to see His Majesty..."
"promise!"
There is quite a distance between Shufang Hall where Empress Bo lives and Qingliang Hall where the Emperor lives.
It's probably about two or three kilometers away.
This is because the Queen's Shufang Palace is in Changle Palace, while the Emperor's Qingliang Palace is in Weiyang Palace.
In fact, in the beginning, Changle Palace was the residence of the emperor, and Weiyang Palace was the residence of the imperial concubines.
However, after the death of Emperor Gao, Empress Lu took over the throne and took full power in her hands.
Therefore, Emperor Hui Liu Ying moved to Weiyang Palace and gave Changle Palace to Empress Lu.
After pacifying the Lu, the chaos was restored.
However, all the rules, systems and even laws from Queen Lu's time have been preserved.
Therefore, it became a rule that the queen and the emperor were not in the same palace.
And because Weiyang Palace is to the west of Changle Palace, it is also called the West Palace. Changle Palace is naturally the East Palace. There is a driveway and a pavilion road connecting the two palaces. Therefore, generally, whether you go from Changle Palace to Weiyang Palace or from Weiyang Palace
Changle Palace is mostly visited by cars, and few people walk.
Riding on the queen's phoenix carriage, Liu De arrived in front of the Qingliang Hall about a quarter of an hour later.
Liu De and Queen Bo got off the carriage, and then they realized that they were not the only ones summoned by the emperor.
The anxious figures of Cheap Mom Su Ji and Liu Rong appeared in front of his eyes, and Liu De even saw the figures of Wang Quan sisters.
I saw Liu De and Queen Bo appearing at the same time.
Sisters Wang Da and Su Ji were both a little surprised. Due to etiquette, they stepped forward to say hello: "I have met the Queen!"
"You three ladies, please get up quickly..." Empress Bo squatted down and returned the greeting.
Before he finished speaking, the eunuch who communicated the message shouted: "The Queen Mother has arrived... the concubines are meeting the prince!"
Queen Mother Dou's guard of honor appeared from the driveway in the distance.
"This is going to be a big deal..." Liu De thought to himself as he looked at it.
Calling the head wife and mother together is a sign among the people that the master will enforce the family law and strictly enforce the family rules.
In the royal family, it was the prelude to a storm.
But, what happened?
Liu De was unsure.
Previously, he thought it was the conflict between Su Ji and him that alerted the cheap daddy, but looking at the current posture, it didn't look like it.
There is no need to alarm Queen Mother Dou if there are internal conflicts within the family.
Only when a concubine causes a scandal can the emperor gather the empress dowager and the empress together.
If the situation is not handled well, the offending concubine will most likely be sent to Yongxiang to fend for herself.
In the Han Dynasty, Yongxiang was the place where low-ranking maids and servants lived in the palace. It was also the place where the reviled concubines and the erring princes faced each other.
In his previous life, Liu De was almost imprisoned in Yongxiang
"My daughter-in-law has met my mother!" Empress Bo stepped forward first, and the other three concubines knelt down to greet Empress Dowager Dou. Liu De and Liu Rong were no exception. They knelt down and shouted: "My grandson greets the emperor's grandmother!"
Empress Dowager Dou got off the carriage, and with the support of her maids and eunuchs, she said with a cold face to Empress Bo: "Queen, follow the Ai family to see the emperor first... Others, please kneel down for the Ai family first and reflect carefully.
Reflect!"
"No!" Empress Bo lowered her eyebrows in agreement, supported Empress Dowager Dou, and nodded to Liu De when she passed by him.
When Liu De saw this scene, he couldn't help but think about it with some imagination.
What would be the thing that would make Queen Mother Dou angry?
Could it be...
Liu De couldn't help but think of something that was widely known in his previous life but was absolutely taboo at this time.
Liu De turned around and glanced at Wang Quan, who was kneeling beside him with a worried look on his face.
After more than ten years of experience in his previous life, what Liu De probably knows the most is the dirty information about the Wang Dan sisters.
In terms of Wang Quan's deep scheming and powerful methods, she was the best among the women Liu De had seen in his previous life.
After Liu She changed his name to Liu Che and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, there was no need to hide the Empress Dowager's privacy anymore.
In his previous life, Liu De had heard that this beauty, Wang Quan, had been married and had children before entering the palace, and even Liu Che came to see her later.
In the Han Dynasty, the status of women was unmatched by later generations.
Women among the common people can not only be on an equal footing with their husbands, but can even be the head of the family, and appear on the official household registration list as the head of the household.
Not only that, if you don't like your husband or think that he is a coward, it is not unusual for him to kick you away and remarry someone else.
For example, Zhu Maichen, the later minister of Liu Che Dynasty, was a tragedy who was kicked away by his wife.
But just because the people are like this doesn't mean that the royal family can accept such behavior.
Especially since Wang Da managed to get rid of her first husband before the Queen's beauty pageant.
This matter happened in the previous life, and it was not until Liu Che ascended the throne that it gradually became known to the world.
That is, the cheap daddy is dead, so naturally no one dares to accuse Wang Da, who is now the Queen Mother.
However, if this matter is revealed at this time, Wang Quan will lose his skin even if he is not dead.
Although Cheap Daddy likes beauties and doesn't shy away from them, what he hates most is being deceived.
Moreover, what Wang Quan did was unacceptable to a man, both morally and emotionally.
only……
Liu De had never heard of that incident in his previous life and was told to Cheap Daddy. Cheap Daddy didn't know about it until his death.
So, what will happen?
Liu De began to think deeply.
…………………………
The first update is here~
PS: In response to my friend’s question in the book review section, well, I was indeed confused and made an omission. The allusion about the arrow on the string did not happen at this time.
However, it’s just a flaw, let’s just pretend that we don’t know about it 00
PS2: There will be 2 more updates tonight~~~~~~~~~~~
