Chapter five hundred and twentieth seventh sound of yellow leaves
"It is better to hide in nature, under the swallow's nest thatched house."
The leaves above her head were rustling, the setting sun was still hanging warmly on the horizon, and the afterglow actually made the whole tree golden. Empress Dong originally only wanted to see the ginkgo leaves in advance, but now that the banquet was about to be arranged, she
Suddenly the mood waned.
Empress Dong regained her energy, held the yellow leaves she was playing with in her hands, and said softly: "I was just thinking, Aweng is in good health, and why he has nothing to do with Shaona marrying a good girl in these years. It turns out that there are no mature women.
's sake?"
This is what she asked Chang Yu to inquire about these days. Now Dong Cheng seems to be in a high position as a foreign relative, and he is also the most popular in the palace, but he seems weak because he has no heirs, or even brothers. The so-called foreign relatives
, naturally refers to a family rather than one or two people. Counting the previous generations of relatives, who are not uncles and brothers? Dozens of people are bustling in the court, echoing the momentum of the harem? Empress Dong did not think this way to usurp power or go against the emperor.
But only in this way will she feel safe in her heart and feel that she is sitting firmly.
This sense of security was something the emperor could never give her.
Empress Dong was doing it not only for the continuation of her father Dong Cheng's heirs, but also for herself. If this was possible, she would also find a way: "In this case, you should leave the palace immediately and tell Aweng that no matter how important the previous dynasty's affairs are, they are not as important as the continuation of the heirs.
I don’t expect to have a younger brother who is a general like Empress Wei, but it is enough to have a capable sibling who will be able to support my future sons in ten or twenty years.”
Chang Yu understood that this was for long-term considerations. Now the Dong family was almost eradicated by General He Jin as early as Luoyang due to the power struggle between Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He. Dong Cheng just escaped by chance and took refuge.
One of Dong Zhuo's relatives, until Dong Zhuo assumed the name of Dong's relatives, did not have many Dong relatives attached to him, which shows that the family was in decline.
Nowadays, only Dong Cheng is the only one left in the court. Not to mention brothers and uncles, there are no descendants. An Neng can't help but make people think about whether this family will be unable to succeed. And once he has this idea, for the current family
For the Dong family, this will be a great disadvantage. It will not only affect the loyalty of the Dong family members to a certain extent, but also affect the attitude of others whether to choose Dong Cheng as their backer.
"It's just that there are very few wars in Guanzhong nowadays, and there are very few widowed women, and there are many widows who are widowed due to diseases." Chang Yu still raised the difficulty of the matter: "It may be difficult to find this person."
"The third assistant has hundreds of thousands of mouths, so there will always be a few that are suitable." Empress Dong didn't want to say more and looked at her coldly.
Chang Yu was panicked and quickly agreed. It happened that Fu Guiren and Song Guiren came to visit them hand in hand. Empress Dong put aside her calculations, put on a friendly smile, and sent someone to greet the two nobles.
The Song Dynasty had always been afraid of Empress Dong's solemnity. Although she felt that Huang Ye was not good-looking, she had to follow Fu Shou's persuasion. She thought she would see the eldest princess with a cold personality in the court, because the eldest princess and her
She also didn't like Empress Dong, and she often made sarcastic remarks to her. To show her generosity, Empress Dong would rather suffer than fight with her.
Unexpectedly, after arriving, he looked around and saw no one. Song Du couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He wanted to see the two of them having fun, but unfortunately they couldn't see them.
Fu Shou was wearing a light yellow nobleman's dress, with a few hostas in his hair. His smile was leisurely and peaceful, making him look particularly graceful. She noticed that Song Du's expression changed from expectation to disappointment for a moment, and gently pinched his cheek.
He held up his hand, reminding the other party to control his expression, and then by pulling Song Du's hand, he and Song Du bowed to Empress Dong: "Concubine, please see the empress."
"You rarely like to wear such luxurious clothes." Empress Dong did not even look at Song Du. She directly pulled Fu Shou up and looked at her. She said in a familiar and intimate tone: "I used to be so plain in the past, but this dress can
Bring out your color... Did you embroider this pattern? You are really skillful. I will go to Jiao Fang more often to teach me."
Empress Dong wears a single golden deer antler on her head. This is an old thing she has worn for many years. Although the gold jewelry is not as bright as when it was first cast with the passage of time, it still shines under the sunlight.
Hui.
Song Du subconsciously reached out to touch his hair. Empress Dong had a golden walking stick that was similar in shape to hers. She had known about it for a long time. Even so, she still mistakenly thought it was hers every time she saw it.
Although Bu Yao was only a woman's jewelry, it was a forbidden item at that time. Not only folk women, but also ordinary concubines in the palace were not allowed to wear it. In addition to Empress Dong in Weiyang Palace, only the Song Dynasty had received this honor early, but Empress Dong saw
Even if she wasn't used to it, she would wear it. After training her several times during this period, Song Du was afraid of wearing it.
After the ceremony, the concubine sat down. The courtyard was originally planted with all kinds of flowers and plants. At this time, the flowers and plants were withered, except for the golden ginkgo trees. Everyone sat under the tree, and people coming and going from the palace were holding soup and offering melons and fruits. Empress Dong was sitting on the throne.
, Changyu and others stood behind her to highlight her power. She chatted with Fushou from time to time, and her behavior was generous and decent, all showing the magnanimity of the middle palace.
When the fragrant bowl of lotus seed soup was brought to Liu Jiang, she reached out to catch it without any hesitation. She raised her head and smiled softly at Tang Ji beside her: "This is much better. I eat everything these days."
If you don't go down, you can't smell the hot steam. When I went to sleep last night, my legs hurt like cramps. The baby is still suffering before he is born. I really don't know that two months later..."
"You don't have to think too much now. Giving birth to children is something that every woman has to go through." A trace of sadness flashed across Tang Ji's eyes. She looked at Liu Jiang's protruding belly with envy and forced a smile: "Zhou Lang replied.
If you don't come, I will serve you when the time comes, so that there will be no master in the house and trouble will occur, and you will not be afraid."
"Thank you for visiting me often." As the widow of Emperor Xiaohuai, Tang Ji was given a garden to live in by the emperor in Shanglin Garden. Normally, she was not allowed to go out freely to avoid causing trouble. At this time, she had several times
Liu Jiang was greatly moved when he came over to visit and take care of him: "It's not like that person in the palace who does all the flashy things. He thinks that hosting banquets means he is being taken care of personally. Little does he know that I have to change my clothes and makeup every time I go to a banquet."
, she was so tired that she was sweating, but in the end she earned the face."
"It's boring to stay in Shanglin Garden for a long time. I'm taking advantage of your luck of being pregnant to go out for a walk more often." Tang Ji was only in her twenties, but because she had no interest in life, her expression was gloomy, and the corners of her eyes had already crawled up.
Xiaowen: "Let's not mention the matter of Jiao Fang anymore. It will save you a lot of effort. The most important thing now is to give birth to the child. The emperor and Zhou Lang knew that they had a nephew. The son was happy and might take advantage of the opportunity.
Now that we have won the battle, we can come back sooner."
"I don't want to take care of such trouble." Liu Jiang picked up a spoon and ate a boiled lotus seed, chewed it carefully in his mouth and then swallowed it: "She wants to show off her power as a queen to her father.
Support me, even though I am pregnant with my child, I can't stop him from waiting. Besides, he didn't just place his hope in me before going to Kanto, there will always be others who will do these things."
Tang Ji didn't understand the reason and had no intention of exploring it, so she just lowered her head silently.
Liu Jiang put down the small bowl, his eyes warmed, and he didn't know what he thought of. He stretched out his hand to grab Tang Ji's wrist and said seriously: "I will wait until I give birth to the child to talk about everything. Some of these things are related to you.
