"Your servant greets the Empress Dowager. The Emperor has fallen asleep."
The eunuch in front of the emperor was stunned for a moment when he saw the empress dowager appear. He was hesitating whether to wake up Emperor Yongxi, but Emperor Yongxi had only slept for less than two quarters of an hour. If the emperor was angry and took his anger out on him after waking up, he would lose his newly promoted position as eunuch in front of the emperor.
Now that the Queen Mother has arrived, the eunuch in front of the emperor feels relieved.
The Queen Mother frowned. "It's time for the morning court session. All the civil and military officials are waiting. Why is the Emperor still sleeping?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is hearing the case..."
"Is there anything more important than the emperor's dragon body?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the eunuchs in front of the emperor with dissatisfaction, "You serve the emperor, so you should advise him to take care of his health. The imperial case can be heard at any time, but you have to worry about the emperor, the officials and the people in the middle of the night, and even the harem has no peace."
Eunuch in front of the emperor: ...Although he is not an official, he also knows that the emperor has to personally hear the case after beating the drum to report the case to the emperor.
If common people were to file a complaint with the emperor, they would be tortured and would naturally not come before the emperor so quickly.
But Mrs. Bei was a woman of the third rank and did not need to be tortured. Moreover, arson in the middle of the night was a serious matter and the officials and people in the capital were watching. It was not possible for the emperor to rest whenever he wanted.
However, after the Empress Dowager said so, the eunuch in front of the emperor could only bow his head and apologize, not daring to refute.
The Empress Dowager ignored the eunuch and rushed in. The eunuch hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager."
"Get lost! I'm watching my own son, and you, a slave, are going to stop me?"
"this……"
The eunuch in front of the emperor didn't dare to stop him because he was worried that the empress dowager's angry look would disturb the emperor's sleep. The emperor wouldn't blame the empress dowager, but he, the servant, would suffer.
Emperor Yongxi had already sat up from the dragon bed. He frowned as he looked at the empress dowager who rushed into the bedroom. "What urgent matter has Queen Mother brought you to my bedroom?"
"You are all my children. Can't I come over if you have nothing to do?"
The empress dowager was very confident and her proudest thing was that she gave birth to the emperor.
Emperor Yongxi frowned and glanced at the eunuch who followed in, but did not say anything. Even in the royal family, adult mothers and sons had to avoid each other.
"Your Majesty, the adults are all waiting in the Golden Throne Hall."
The eunuch in front of the emperor hurried forward with the dragon robe to serve and remind Emperor Yongxi.
Emperor Yongxi stood up from the dragon bed, and the empress dowager snatched the dragon robe from the eunuch in front of the emperor and came over to dress her son.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to do anything. I can put it on myself."
What Emperor Yongxi felt most helpless about was that his mother had no sense of propriety. He was already in his twenties and was not a child who needed to be helped to dress himself.
Moreover, when he was a child, his mother did not take care of him like this. It was the servants around her who did it.
When he grew up, his mother became close to him in every way, which made Emperor Yongxi very uncomfortable.
Besides, he had not forgiven his mother for the drugging incident, and Emperor Yongxi found it difficult to let it go.
"I know you despise me."
The Queen Mother was suddenly sad. No matter how old her son was, he was still her son. What was wrong with her being close to him?
"I don't dislike my mother."
Emperor Yongxi dressed quickly and said to the Empress Dowager, "If there is nothing else, please return to the Cining Palace. I will attend the morning court."
After saying this, Emperor Yongxi quickly washed up, and without even having breakfast, he hurried to the Golden Palace with the eunuch.
The Queen Mother was very upset and said to the nanny beside her, "The Emperor has finally distanced himself from me."
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is about to attend the morning court session. The civil and military officials are waiting, and the Emperor is getting anxious."
"He's the emperor, why should he be in such a hurry? Even if the civil and military officials wait for a whole morning, a whole day, or a whole night, let alone a moment, what's the point?"
The Queen Mother walked out of the Taiji Palace and helped Madam Gong down the stairs. "I am his biological mother, his queen mother. He dare not be disrespectful to me, but I don't want superficial respect."
At this point, the Queen Mother glanced at her belly and said with gritted teeth, "It's a pity that my good sister tricked me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have only had the Emperor as my child in this life."
If she had another son, the emperor would not dare to disobey her.
Nanny Gong agreed, the good sister the empress dowager was referring to was naturally the late emperor's empress, the empress dowager's eldest sister.
After adopting Emperor Yongxi, the Empress Dowager was given a sterilizing drug, which made her desperately want to have a second child, wishing her many children and good fortune, but she was never able to do so.
After learning that she had been given a sterilizing drug, the first person she thought of was Empress Yuan's eldest sister, but she was already dead, and there was nothing the Empress Dowager could do no matter how much she hated her.
"aunt"
The Empress Dowager returned to the Cining Palace, and all the concubines were already waiting to pay their respects. Concubine Jiang stepped past Empress Liu and helped the Empress Dowager down from the sedan chair.
"You're so thoughtful."
The Queen Mother's expression softened, and she patted Concubine Jiang's hand. She was fine when she glanced at Concubine Yu, but when she looked at Empress Liu, her expression darkened. "Liu, who are you cursing with this outfit?"
Queen Liu wore a moon-white robe embroidered with phoenixes and peony flowers, but she gave people a feeling of weakness and pity.
She doesn't look like a queen, but rather like a concubine who has secretly put on a phoenix robe and crown.
The handkerchief in Concubine Yu's hand gently covered the corners of her flying mouth, with disdain in her eyes. She didn't look like the queen in the phoenix robe, and was even worse than her, the concubine.
Besides, the queen of every family always likes to wear white robes, so it’s no wonder that the empress dowager doesn’t like it. She also thinks it’s unlucky.
Concubine Jiang's expression was full of sneer. "Mother, the Queen likes to wear white phoenix robes. If you say that again, her eyes will get red eyes again."
Queen Liu's eyes immediately turned red, and tears were about to fall.
The empress dowager was this kind of beauty when she was young, with tears in her eyes and a charming appearance. She relied on this kind of personality to attract the late emperor, but now seeing the empress following her old path, he finds it extremely irritating.
But when she was young, she didn't always wear white and look like she was mourning.
Seeing Empress Liu's tearful eyes, the Queen Mother immediately lost control of her temper. "If you want to go back to mourn, go back to your Liu family and cry. I don't know how the Liu family raised their daughter, a daughter of a general, but they raised her to be timid and cowardly. She doesn't have the grace and dignity of an empress at all. She's petty and not presentable."
The curse was so harsh that even Queen Liu's expression changed slightly. She didn't dare to shed tears and buried her head even lower.
When the concubines saw this, they all looked at her with disdain. How could they be interested in such a queen?
In Shuntian Mansion, Bei Lingyao's spiritual sense swept over this place and she was slightly stunned.
[System, is Queen Liu a child of the Liu family?]
【uh-huh!】
[Born by a concubine?]
Even if a general's family couldn't raise a tiger daughter, it wouldn't be like this.
Not to mention that she is the queen, so why does she act like a concubine?
【Didn't you accept the World Memory? Go and look it up yourself.】
Bei Lingyao reviewed the world memory in her mind again and finally found the story of Empress Liu, but she only mentioned it briefly...
