Empress Dowager Yu was recovering from her illness in Fulin Palace.
Under the control of Xie Mingxi, the harem became increasingly stable.
There are many political affairs in the court, but fortunately the Yu and Gu parties have completely collapsed. Most of the ministers in the cabinet also focus on state affairs. Although there are some cases of forming parties to gain power, they have not shaken the stability of the court.
The winter of the second year of Jianye was spent peacefully.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third year of Jianye.
On New Year's Day, the imperial ladies will go to the palace to see you as usual.
At five o'clock in the morning, at dawn, carriages from various prefectures were parked outside Donghua Gate.
Among all the spacious and gorgeous carriages, Xie's carriage is not eye-catching at all. The horse pulling the carriage is not a great horse, and the carriage is not gorgeous enough. The two people sitting in the carriage are old and vulgar, and the younger one is also
She looks like a village woman...
All the noble ladies, while silently cursing in their hearts, smiled at the vulgar and vulgar Mrs. Xu. They were also extremely polite to the delicate young woman.
"The old lady looks very good recently, and she looks younger and younger."
"The old lady has a strong body, much stronger than you and me. I wonder if you have any tips on how to maintain your body? Can you share it with us?"
"The Xie Mansion is about to hold a happy event, and Grandma Xie is also pregnant. This is a double blessing. No wonder the old lady is so happy..."
Mrs. Xu happily chatted with everyone: "I am an old man, but I am not as young as you."
"I don't know how to take care of myself. I just have a good appetite, eat more and sleep well."
"I'm also looking forward to double happiness. When Yuan Wei gets married, you all go and have a glass of wedding wine. Mrs. Sun has just settled down for this pregnancy, and I didn't plan to wait for her to enter the palace. The Queen wants to meet her sister-in-law, so I
Then he took her into the palace with him..."
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Empress Dowager Yu's power was almost wiped out. Empress Xie doted on the Sixth Palace alone, and the emperor was close to the Yue family. As Empress Xie's step-grandmother, Mrs. Xu also became an upstart among the top ladies in the capital.
The background of being a prostitute and the vulgarity can be ignored. However, the scene of Xu supporting Empress Xie in the past was brought up and talked about again and again, and they were full of admiration.
It seems that Xu has become the benchmark for ladies in the capital.
Sun, who was born as a village girl, has a pretty face, and looks shy and timid. There is nothing surprising about her appearance. However, she is the eldest sister-in-law of Empress Xie, who is directly related to her, and she is highly valued by Empress Xie.
Every time he was summoned to the palace to speak, he was often rewarded.
As a result, Sun's body also showed many advantages that he didn't know about, and he was praised by everyone.
Mrs. Sun is also a wonderful person. When facing Xie Yuanting, she was like a tigress. As soon as she left the inner house, she immediately became as honest as a quail, without showing any sign of her strength.
Therefore, Xie Yuanting's fear of his wife has become a joke among the ladies.
After waiting outside Donghua Gate for half an hour, a female official came and led the ladies into the palace.
Last year I went to the palace to have an audience, and I entered the Cining Palace.
This year, when I went to the palace to have an audience, I entered the Jiaofang Hall.
…
Every time Mrs. Xu entered the Jiaofang Hall, she would feel sad and sad in her heart.
Xu, who was born in the city, worked as a prostitute when she was young. She had a fierce and rough temperament, and she was also good at quarreling. However, the bloodless fights in the harem were so terrible that she could only be intimidated.
He exchanged the plaques of the two palaces, recaptured the Phoenix Seal without any blood, and took control of the middle palace. Xie Mingxi's methods are really powerful for this city.
Empress Dowager Yu, who was majestic and majestic in those days, is now lying on the bed in a sick condition. She was unable to stay even on New Year's Day.
Empress Dowager Li actually wanted to show off her face and show off her power. Xie Mingxi personally sent a supplement to Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Li immediately stopped thinking about showing off her face and continued to recuperate in Cining Palace.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Xian in the palace are also recovering from illness all year round. Concubine Mei's illness is gradually getting better. However, Concubine Mei is quite knowledgeable and does not want to come to Jiaofang Palace to cause trouble for Empress Xie on New Year's Day.
.
Otherwise, when Princess Mei comes, will Queen Xie sit on the phoenix chair or give up her position as the leader?
"Grandma," asked Sun in a low voice, "how long do we have to wait?"
Mrs. Sun has been to the palace before, but on the New Year's Day, everyone came to the palace to see the grand ceremony. Seeing a group of ladies wearing imperial gowns and exquisite makeup, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but feel timid, and her voice was a little lower than usual.
point.
Look at that useless look!
Mrs. Xu glared at Mrs. Sun calmly: "Just wait."
At this moment, Cong Yu walked over and bowed to Mrs. Xu: "I have seen the old lady and the eldest grandma. The queen ordered me to deliver the message. The eldest grandma is pregnant and it is not suitable to stand for a long time.
Just sit down and wait."
Everyone cast envious glances.
Sun's heart suddenly felt at ease.
Even if she is like a chicken or a dog, she is now glorious and glorious with the Queen.
Why should she be timid? Why should she feel guilty and uneasy?
She should straighten her back!
Mrs. Sun sat down on the chair. She brought tea from Yu Peng, served Mrs. Sun, ate a piece of pastry and drank half a cup of tea. She made a good show of herself before she left with a smile.
…
Half an hour later, all the ministers were summoned one by one to the main hall to have an audience.
Sun followed closely behind Xu, stepped into the main hall, and saluted Empress Xie who was sitting on the phoenix chair.
Xie Mingxi's gentle and pleasant voice came: "Ping Shen."
Mrs. Sun hurriedly opened her mouth to thank her, and when she stood up, she quickly glanced at Xie Mingxi.
The last few times he was called into the palace, Xie Mingxi mostly wore regular clothes. This was the first time that Mrs. Sun saw Xie Mingxi in phoenix clothes...
Sun, who had neither read nor read, was short of words and did not know what adjectives to use to describe the beautiful, dignified and majestic Queen Xie. In the end, she just sighed in her heart.
If you can live like Xie Mingxi, your life will be worthwhile!
Xie Mingxi glanced at Mrs. Sun and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I really miss you. I specially called you into the palace today to talk. Don't tire yourself."
How many of the imperial ladies in the palace can be favored by Queen Xie for consultation?
Under the gaze of everyone, Mrs. Sun straightened her back subconsciously and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam. I have had healthy bones since I was a child, and I haven't had any morning sickness since I got pregnant. I have always been in good health. It doesn't matter how long I stand.
.”
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "This is impossible. If someone comes, please give me a seat!"
Even with a high-level imperial edict, not everyone can sit in the Jiaofang Hall. As soon as Sun took his seat, he immediately attracted a wave of envious eyes.
Next, there is a grand palace banquet.
The national mourning was over, and there were silk and bamboo music, singing and dancing at the palace banquet.
Xie Mingxi has seen this kind of singing and dancing several times. However, the feeling of sitting on the phoenix chair and enjoying the singing and dancing is always more wonderful.
The corners of Xie Mingxi's mouth raised slightly.
