After the rebellion subsided, due to King Jingling's meritorious service, Xiao Wuchuan was too weak to manage the affairs of the court; therefore, King Jingling regained the power of regent.
No one expected that just one year later, Xiao Junchi would return to Taiyan and serve as regent again. No longer had King Haozhou opposed Xiao Junchi at every turn, he vigorously purged the remnants of King Haozhou and the remnants of Zoroastrianism in Taiyan City, vowing to wipe out Taiyan's old ills and restore the light of Qingming.
When the ministers go to court every day, they will find that there are fewer familiar faces and more unfamiliar faces in the temple. Within ten days, everyone in the imperial court was washed away by Xiao Junchi.
Anyone with some sense knows that the trend has changed drastically, and the regent has returned to the throne. After the plaque on the Prince Regent's Palace was re-hanged, within a day or two, the entrance to the Prince's Palace became lively again. All day long, there was an endless stream of people giving gifts, sending messages, and paying homage. On the day of Xiao Junchi's birthday, the palace was extremely noisy, and the storeroom was filled with rare gifts and rare items.
In the blink of an eye, the hot summer has passed.
Mengqiu falls early, and the flowing wind is slightly cool.
In the main courtyard, Jiang Lingzhou held a letter and read it carefully.
Xiao Yuzhang rolled on the bed and tried to sit up, but failed several times and rolled back like a fat dumpling. He has always been a child who doesn't like to cry. The maids and aunts in the palace like him. Aunt Lan especially dotes on him. Whenever she has time, she will hug him inside and outside and coax him as if he is her biological grandson.
The letter in Jiang Lingzhou¡¯s hand came from Huating and wrote about recent events in Huating.
When she read the letter, she frowned at first, but the more she read, the tighter her eyebrows became.
In the past, when Xiao Junchi was suppressing the Zoroastrian rebellion, she had been worried that her father would blatantly interfere in the affairs of Qi. Fortunately, Emperor Qi did not do this in the end. Today, when his brother Jiang Yanran received a letter, Jiang Lingzhou knew the reason.
Her father, who had always been strong and strong, suddenly fell ill and had been in poor health for the past two months. Half a month ago, Emperor Qi no longer even went to court every day. As he was seriously ill, Emperor Qi naturally had no time to think about anything else and could not concentrate on the affairs of Wei. Now that his spirits had improved a little, he began to secretly regret missing such a good opportunity.
Jiang Lingzhou read this letter, feeling worried and sighing in his heart.
Although Emperor Qi often showed a ruthless side, he was Jiang Lingzhou's father after all, and he treated her well. Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Knowing that his illness was difficult to recover from, Jiang Lingzhou couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Is the princess here?"
The voice of the maid Wei Shuang came from outside the door.
"Come in." Jiang Lingzhou put away the letter and said, "What's the matter?"
Wei Shuang glanced at each side, walked softly to Jiang Lingzhou, and whispered: "Princess, my dear, there is a Miss Lu in the palace, and the prince is meeting her in the study at the moment. Do you want to take a look? See?"
Jiang Lingzhou felt a little headache when he heard the surname "Lu". How much the girl surnamed Lu loves to toss, she has already learned from Queen Lu. At this moment, another Miss Lu came, and she felt a little unbearable.
"Where is Miss Lu? Miss Lu from Jiaozhou?" Jiang Lingzhou asked.
"I heard from Aunt Lan that she is indeed from Jiaozhou. She is said to be the queen's biological sister," Weishuang said.
"This is really weird," Jiang Lingzhou stood up and stroked a green branch outside the window with his hand, "Why did you come to Taiyan for the good Jiaozhou? Could it be that you saw a concubine queen coming out of the family and wanted to give it away? How about a legitimate daughter and noble concubine? Let¡¯s go and have a look.¡±
"Ms. Lu" in Shuang's mouth, called Lu Zhiruo. Although she and Queen Lu have the same surname "Lu", they are half-sisters. When Xiao Junchi originally selected Empress Lu to marry into Taiyan, in order to avoid causing trouble, he chose a daughter from a concubine in remote Jiaozhou to marry into the West Palace as his queen. Queen Lu is the concubine's daughter, but this Lu Zhiruo is an out-and-out daughter of a legitimate daughter.
??????????????????????? However, the people of the Wei State have never paid much attention to the distinction between direct concubines and concubines; not to mention that in a small place like Jiaozhou, there is no difference between direct descendants and concubines.
Jiang Lingzhou took his maid to the study door and happened to see Lu Zhiruo and Xiao Junchi saying goodbye. She doesn't look like Queen Lu. She is very well-dressed, and every move she makes seems to have been deliberately brought up. She exudes a general demeanor, which is exactly the same as Queen Lu's dignified and solemn body. There is no trace of it at all. She's a young lady from a small place.
Lu Zhiruo turned around and saw Jiang Lingzhou. He was slightly surprised and said politely: "Zhiruo has met the princess. It's getting late, so Zhiruo will not disturb the palace and will leave."
After Lu Zhiruo left, Jiang Lingzhou asked: "Your Majesty, what's going on with this young lady from the Lu family? Is she here to be your concubine again, Your Majesty?"
When Xiao Junchi heard this, his smile froze. "Hey, what's wrong with the princess??So vindictive. "He said, "Or is it that the princess also likes to be sour and jealous? The princess thinks that any woman who comes close to me will be my concubine? "
"There are really too many women who want to marry the prince, which makes me feel uneasy physically and mentally." She said, "What's more, I am just a jealous and jealous little woman."
"It's done, little lady, little lady." Xiao Junchi dusted off his clothes and said, "Don't worry, Princess, you are not marrying me, but your Majesty."
"MarryHis Majesty?" Jiang Lingzhou was stunned. She recalled Xiao Wuchuan's thin and pitiful appearance, and said in surprise, "Is it because this sister is not convinced when her sister becomes the queen, so she wants to come to Taiyan to try her luck in glory and wealth?"
"I don't know what the Lu family is thinking. I'm afraid they don't know that Wuchuan's health is not good anymore." Xiao Junchi sighed, walked to the pond, and looked at the few golden flowers trailing in the middle of the pond. Li, "And this Lu Zhiruo also communicated with Queen Lu in advance, saying that Queen Lu sent her a letter asking her to come to the palace to help him."
"This" Jiang Lingzhou hesitated, "I'm afraid that Queen Lu still doesn't know that your Majesty can no longer"
She is no longer able to have children.
Therefore, no matter how many sisters are invited into the palace to have a happy marriage, they will not be able to give birth to an heir. Moreover, Xiao Wuchuan looked like someone who really couldn't get close to women. If you feel better one day, you will be considered lucky.
"Whether she knows this or not, I have a little idea in my heart. However, since the two sisters have already discussed it, I can't stop them. They want to be the empress of Ehuang and the queen of Zhou. How can I Ruined Wuchuan's good deeds? After half a month, he will be sent to the palace. As for the title to be drawn up, it's up to you, Princess." Xiao Junchi said.
"What does the matter in the West Palace have to do withwith, with my concubine?" Jiang Lingzhou asked.
"The Empress Dowager Fang is not here, and Empress Lu has kept a low profile again. Now only you can take care of the affairs of the West Palace." Xiao Junchi took a handful of fish food from the attendant and sprinkled it into the pond, "Anyway, it's just Just think of a title, give her whatever title you like, and make Lu Zhiruo become 'Lu Jufei' or 'Lu Yuanfei', that's fine."
His words made Jiang Lingzhou laugh out loud.
Not long after Lu Zhiruo left the palace, he was carried into the West Palace. Jiang Lingzhou came up with her title, and simply chose the word "virtue", hoping that Concubine Lu De would be more virtuous and virtuous, and support each other with her sister, Empress Lu, so as not to cause trouble.
Concubine Lu De is only in her early twenties this year, which is the right time for women in the Wei Dynasty to get married.
When they were in Jiaozhou, she and Lu Zhiyao couldn't stand each other and often had frictions. Later, when she learned that the regent was going to select girls in Jiaozhou to be admitted to the capital, she even started to compete with Lu Zhiyao. But there was no choice but Lu Zhiyao finally caught the eye of the regent.
Lu Zhiruo originally thought that he would die in Jiaozhou and marry an ordinary Jiaozhou Guijie. However, two years later, she suddenly received a letter from Lu Zhiyao. Many days passed in a blink of an eye, and now Lu Zhiruo, dressed in the royal robes of a concubine, with a crown on top of her bun, was greeting his sister whom he had looked down upon before.
"I have met the Queen."
"No gifts, we are all sisters, why are you so polite?"
Lu Zhiyao, who was sitting in the first place, smiled brightly and gave her sister a little help. She was specially dressed up today. The flower pattern on her forehead was flowing, the phoenix hairpin in her bun was filled with pearls, and the palace was full of dazzling lights, which dazzled Lu Zhiruo, who had just arrived.
Although Lu Zhiruo is the daughter of the Lu family, how often can a small place like Jiaozhou see such royal majesty?
"Sister Ruo, are you still used to staying in the West Palace?" Queen Lu asked.
"Thank you for your relationship with the Queen, I'm used to it." Lu Zhiruo raised his lips and replied with a smile.
"I see that Sister Ruo is also very happy with the splendor and splendor of the Western Palace. It's just that-" The smile on Queen Lu's dignified and round face suddenly disappeared. She raised her clothes, walked up to Lu Zhiruo in a few steps, and said in a low voice, "If you want to keep the hard-won glory and wealth of my Lu family, I need you, sister Ruo, to do your best."
Empress Lu was still smiling like a spring breeze before, but at this moment her face suddenly changed, and her tone was so deep that it made people tremble. The difference between before and after made Lu Zhiruo's heart beat slightly and he couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy.
¡ª¡ªHer concubine sister, after two years of hard work in the West Palace, seems to be more powerful than before. I don¡¯t know what she has been through?
"If the Queen and the Queen are sisters, Zhiruo will definitely work together with the Queen." Lu Zhiruo stood up, his voice full of respect.
"Okay, sister Ruo, please never forget what you said today." Empress Lu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and clasped her fingers on her belly with her gilded armor. On the flat lower abdomen, the silk fabric is as smooth as water, with low-flying phoenix wings piercing it.
She worked hard to get to where she is now.
She will never let all her glory and wealth flow away.
Even though it would be a disservice to the flesh and blood in my belly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)On one's own belly. On the flat lower abdomen, the silk fabric is as smooth as water, with low-flying phoenix wings piercing it.
