When the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked; when the bird is dead, the bow is put away.
In the past, King Li lay on the ice to catch carp, but when he saw that filial piety did not work, he killed the king and usurped the throne. Later, Li and Yan became enemies.
I also know where I will end up. Perhaps it is just as Li Sanlang said.
She was silent for a while, became a slave for the rest of her life, and died in the palace with a broken soul.
Those who are destitute and die, their loved ones suffer together.
Fortunately, I don’t have many close friends around me.
During those twelve years, the only people I was close to, besides the Li family, were Rudi, Zhuzhi, and Youyu...
Of course, Yuan Xiao is one of them, and of course there is A Xiang.
The Yuan family has few descendants, and Mrs. Yuan only has Yuan Xiao as her relative.
In the past I was young and had no power, but now I am in a great position.
I will provide the Yuan family with Chang'an's household registration, Chang'an's houses, Chang'an's fields, and Chang'an's wealthy people.
If I treat Yuan Xiao badly and make him suffer, I will feel guilty towards Shanhua even when I die.
Ah Xiang and I grew up together. In the eyes of outsiders, in my eyes, and in Ah Xiang's eyes, she is me and I am her.
My life will be a journey of wealth and prosperity with her, and her life will be a journey of failure with me. Our life and death are linked together.
One day, the Palace Master of the Harem put down his crown and tiara, and the concubines of each palace, the imperial concubines of each palace, and the female officials of the six bureaus were recommending the new Palace Master to the Empress, and I was accompanying them.
The six palaces discuss and the queen makes the decision.
The chord is in the right position, this is a serious matter.
Concubine Xue loved to appoint people based on personal connections, failed to distinguish between benefits and harms, and made chaotic politics as she pleased, so she was abandoned in Chengxiang Palace by the Emperor and Empress.
After the chief concubine is chosen, the other six concubines withdraw.
Soon, Eunuch Zhu brought two musicians. These two musicians were presented to Shaoyang Court by the Wang family.
Her Majesty the Eastern Palace gave it to Her Majesty the Lizheng Palace.
The Queen was very pleased that the Prince was not interested in vocal music.
One of them holds a qin and the other carries a sheng. I am fond of vocal music and like them both.
I saw one of them with gentle features and a look of sorrow between his eyes, and his appearance was like a reed.
Following her eyebrows and eyes, I thought of Ru Di.
Zhuzhi returned to Chang'an and entered the Taiji Palace.
Rudi, I have been thinking of her since early morning, but Chang'an was in chaos and Taiji was busy, so I couldn't meet her.
The Empress never summoned my niece, nor did she mention Rudi. I mentioned her twice, both openly and covertly, but it was as if the Empress had forgotten about her...
Queen Feng was angry with the Feng family, could it be that she was also angry with Ru Di?
Unfortunately, I am not comfortable entering and leaving the palace.
I took a detour and went to Feng's house once before.
The gate of the Feng family's house was full of powerful slaves and servants. Ah Xiang was frightened by them and begged me to leave quickly. I was afraid that if I was late, I would miss the palace and miss Ru Di.
This time, in front of Mr. Zhu, I mentioned Ru Di to the Queen again.
"The Li family palace is not comparable to Prince Qing's residence. With her heart and temperament, kind-hearted and gentle, how can she sit in the Taiji Palace? Not inviting her to the palace and letting her stay in the Feng family is also for her own good." said the queen.
Last time, Prince Fu led his uncle to cause trouble, and the Holy Prince beat them, and Princess Leyang witnessed it with her own eyes.
From then on, the young princess often woke up in the middle of the night, frightened and crying.
The Queen truly felt sorry for Rudi, and I understood, so I replied, "Yes."
However, living in fear in the palace is better than sleeping at the feet of an evil father and a poisonous mother.
"Her mother died early, and my mother also died early. I didn't have much contact with her biological mother. I felt sorry for myself and I felt sorry for her. I treated her as me, but she is not me. Children... are better if they are my own!" the queen told me.
The Queen felt pity for Rudi because of herself, so why shouldn’t I also feel pity for Rudi because of my past self?
I said, "My son...isn't he my mother's biological son?"
"Even biological children may not always be happy. Look at that unworthy Sanlang. I've lost all my love for him!" The Queen looked at me and said with a smile, "You were so anxious to be reborn that you blindfolded yourself and ran into the wrong place, ending up in the house next door. Why do you blame your mother? Fortunately, after all the twists and turns, you've returned to your mother."
The Queen comforted me like this, and I couldn't stop crying.
I haven't seen Rudi for many days and I really miss her. I wonder if she is doing well?
"Even the uncle of the emperor is disrespectful in front of the queen mother. Feng Jia is both the uncle of the emperor and the father. If he tells her to give birth, she will live. If he tells her to die, she will die." I cried.
"Uncle of the Emperor... I have no biological brothers. A few years ago, I saw that Rudi's grandfather was a son, so I promoted him, the son of my stepmother, to be my biological brother. I didn't expect him to be so disappointing, with such a rotten heart. There's no need to promote him anymore."
When it comes to the king's uncle, the queen doesn't want to talk about him much.
Empress Feng was not kind to her uncle and only loved her own sister.
The queen's twin sister married into the Li family in Luoyang. The royal family of Luoyang was able to preserve their entire clan thanks to the new queen's twin sister.
"With the Empress Dowager's support, who in the world dares to bully Madam Feng?" Eunuch Dong spoke up, helping the Empress and me.
Seeing that I was really stubborn and refused to eat or drink anything, the queen changed the subject and talked about what I hated to hear the most.
"The Crown Prince has no interest in you, and you are not close to He Nu. I have two children, my eldest son and daughter, and you two slaves each have your own merits, both virtuous and wise. Why are you so incompatible? You should focus on the East Palace, on Shaoyang Court, and on the Crown Prince."
"I will always put the Crown Prince first, I will always follow the Crown Prince, and I will stay close to He Nu and focus all my attention on His Highness."
Because of Rudi, I didn't think twice before speaking.
Empress Feng was furious. Lord Zhu knelt first, followed by everyone else, and I also bowed down.
"Li'er, you will be the empress in the future, supporting the emperor and being the master of all people. All men and women in the world are your subjects and slaves. The mistress should not be mean and ungrateful, and my master should not be promiscuous and devoted. Remember, you should use the heaven and earth as your personal teacher when you can, and abandon them when you can't. You should treat your relatives and friends as your subjects and captives, abandon them when you can, and kill them when you can. How can you submit to one person? How can you be soft-hearted and give Chu the power? You must put your heart on the world and your eyes on the former court and the harem. As for the crown prince of the East Palace, you only need to pay a little attention to him. In the Li family, the relationship between monarch and subject comes first, and husband and wife comes second. If you pay attention to this, you will pay less attention to others. Being the principal wife is not an easy thing. You must take care of yourself first and maintain your health so that you can live in peace and stability for a long time."
The future is the future, so it is not a fixed number. Whether it is positive or negative, I am afraid it will not be my turn.
I nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The Queen has a son and a daughter, and all the efforts of Queen Lizheng are devoted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After the prince, it is me.
There are many children in the palace, including the children of the Li family, the children of princes and ministers, and the children of all the people in the world. They are all the children of the Queen Mother.
I agree with most of what the Queen said, except for the words "relatives and friends", which I find difficult to obey.
"Mother, that's not a minister or a servant, that's Rudi... Rudi only has you, and I only love her." I cried and wiped my tears.
The aunt loves her niece as much as the queen loves her daughter.
Seeing how sad I was, the Queen had no choice but to agree to my request. "Just this once, just for Rudi alone. Don't do it again. Ask Lord Dong to choose a good day. You go to Feng's house to pick her up and bring her into the Lizheng Palace."
With the Queen's approval, I wiped away my tears and stood up to pay my respects.
He immediately ordered people to clean up the palace and couldn't wait to welcome Ru Di into Taiji Palace.
