In the palace of the Song Dynasty, a woman sat in front of the dressing table. She tied her black hair up high and inserted a hairpin into it. She looked at her brand-new appearance in the bronze mirror, feeling confused and sweet at the same time. From today on, she is no longer a girl, but a woman. Thinking of her adoptive mother's instructions before she left, the woman's face slowly turned red with embarrassment. At this time, someone hugged her from behind. Feeling the familiar breath, the woman felt at ease but also a little uneasy. "Akang, does it look good like this?" the woman asked carefully. A woman likes her own appearance. I don¡¯t know if Akang likes this look. It feels a little weird. It seems that she has become an adult overnight, which makes her not quite used to it psychologically. As a wife, she must abide by women¡¯s ethics. Then Can you no longer laugh and joke with A Kang? "Of course she is beautiful. Our Nianci looks beautiful no matter how she dresses up. She is even more beautiful than the fairies in the sky." Yang Kang looked at the person in the mirror and praised him without hesitation. "That's nonsense, you haven't seen a fairy before." The woman said coquettishly, but she was very happy in her heart, but then she became worried again, "Are you really going to see the empress dowager later?" "We have to meet, you. Don't worry too much, just pretend to be resentful, I will take care of the rest," Yang Kang comforted, "I will ask you to be the queen first, but the empress dowager will definitely not allow it. Let's settle for the next best thing and be canonized. Concubine, if it is still not allowed, then Zhaoyi Zhaorong and the like are always possible. Once you are pregnant and promoted to a noble concubine, the prince will naturally become the queen after he is born. Before that, I have to wrong you. " This is already the best plan. Even if His Majesty the Emperor continues to fool around, he will still be unable to pass the test of the Song Dynasty royal family. The people who manage the affairs of the Song Dynasty royal family are the Da Zongzhengsi established in the third year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the responsibility of the Jin Dynasty's Da Zongzhengfu. Similarly, she has the right to intervene in royal affairs, but at this time the empress dowager is more powerful, and the affairs of the harem are all decided by the empress dowager alone. Mu Nianci is just a commoner's daughter, and it is impossible to become a queen in one fell swoop. "What's wrong with this? I'm content if I can stay with Akang." The woman responded softly. His Majesty the Emperor held the person in his arms, feeling really happy in his heart. They had known each other for seven years and had gone through countless dangers and hardships. It is really a joyful thing to be able to finally get married now. In this crisis-ridden world, In the Song Dynasty palace, this was the only person he could trust. As Yang Kang expected, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the harem and was already aware of His Majesty's absurd behavior. Looking at this beautiful woman kneeling in front of her with a resentful look on her face, the Empress Dowager sighed in her heart, who allowed you to be favored by the Emperor? , all this is fate, she is also a woman, and has no intention of embarrassing this woman who has just suffered, but she severely rebuked His Majesty the Emperor for his remarks about canonizing this woman as a queen. His Majesty the Emperor made a fuss about it, and finally Mu Nianci was granted the title of Zhaorong. This is a concubine that is slightly lower than the imperial concubine. It is one of the nine concubines. Her status in the harem is not low, at least to His Majesty the Emperor. For the time being, he was the highest in the harem. Seeing that his goal was achieved, Yang Kang took Mu Nianci and left in a grand manner. The Empress Dowager looked at His Majesty the Emperor's lazy appearance and couldn't help but shook her head. Once this descendant of the royal family came from a humble background, he revealed his greedy and lustful nature and had no royal etiquette. However, this was exactly what she and Shi Mi had done at the time. The reason why Yuan chose this prince was that the more stupid the emperor, the more powerful they would be. The Empress Dowager left His Majesty the Emperor behind and began to think about how to solve the scandal that Prime Minister Shi Miyuan was involved in. The political alliance between the Empress Dowager and Shi Miyuan originated twelve years ago. At that time, Shi Miyuan was just the Minister of Rites of the third rank. The Empress Dowager also It was only Empress Yang. The real master of the Song Dynasty was the then Prime Minister Han Kanzhou. Because Han Kanzhou failed in the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom, he was killed by Queen Yang and Shi Miyuan in a conspiracy. From then on, the Song Dynasty began the twelve-year Shi Miyuan Era. . Empress Yang also benefited greatly from that incident. Not only did she eliminate the enemies in the harem and consolidate her position as empress, but the descendants of the Yang family also began to enter the court and officialdom in various places, forming a faction of relatives. Although this faction was related to Shi Mi The Yuan family cannot be compared, but they can already influence the overall situation of the Song Dynasty. They and Shi Miyuan's family collude with each other and are colluding. However, the wind direction changed at this time. Seeing that Shi Miyuan's big tree was about to fall, the hozens on the tree began to panic. In the past few days, more and more ministers came to see the Empress Dowager. Once Shi Miyuan fell, the people who were listening to politics behind the curtain would The Empress Dowager is undoubtedly a great supporter, and the Yang family is even more delighted. This may indicate that their time is coming. But the Empress Dowager had many concerns. She worked very well with Shi Miyuan and did not want her ally to fall. However, if the situation became unstoppable, she would not mind taking over Shi Miyuan's power and becoming a powerful leader. The Empress Dowager, as for the Emperor, you'd better go and rob his daughter. His Majesty the Emperor andRong Mu Nianci was wandering around the palace. On this spring afternoon, they did not think about national affairs or what would happen in the future. They just enjoyed the good time of the moment. Yang Kang picked a red flower from the imperial garden. Embedded on Mu Nianci's temples, the red flower was delicate and feminine, and Mu Nianci lowered her head shyly, obediently lying in Yang Kang's arms. The warm spring sun shone down, seeming to cover the two of them with colorful clouds. However, happy times always passed quickly. Someone from the palace reported that Xie Dajun, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, wanted to see the emperor. Yang Kang thought that it was unjust to throw Xie Yili at Kangle Building yesterday, and he didn't know what happened next, so he followed the palace. People came to the study and saw Xie Dacaizi with an injured arm. "Run away?" His Majesty the Emperor said in surprise. "Reporting to Your Majesty, the thief actually took the opportunity to kidnap the minister. The Imperial Army did not dare to act rashly, so the thief escaped. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Xie Yili thanked him. "Send someone to arrest the murderer." His Majesty the Emperor ordered, "Instruct the governor of Jiaxing Prefecture to search for the family of the murderer. If the murderer does not come and surrender, his family will be captured. Let the murderer understand that the court has royal laws." "Your Majesty. , No need to mobilize troops like this, right?" Xie Yili said in surprise. Xie Dacaizi's injury was not serious, he just accidentally fell down. He pretended to be injured in order to win the sympathy of His Majesty the Emperor and to show his loyalty. However, in the final analysis, this incident was a robbery by His Majesty the Emperor. The daughter of the people was first, and that person was just seeing injustice on the road. If such a high-profile arrest was really carried out, it would lead to criticism among the people and damage the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor. "How can this be a mobilization of troops? The murderer dared to attack me and injured an important official of the imperial court. This is a serious crime of beheading." His Majesty the Emperor said angrily, "Send arrest documents to all places. If the murderer does not surrender within one month, he will If his family is blamed, it is up to you to investigate and handle this matter. "Your Majesty, you are so capable of confusing right and wrong and confusing right and wrong! Xie Yili cursed secretly in his heart, but there was no need for him to defend a charlatan in this matter. If His Majesty the Emperor wanted to arrest someone, then he should arrest him. He was not a loyal and outspoken minister, so why bother asking for trouble. When Xie Yili left, Yang Kang smiled. The reason why he wanted to catch Lu Zhanyuan was because he hated him, but maybe he could use this person to knock on the door of the Ancient Tomb Sect. He remembered that Xiao Longnu was born in this year, and The leader of the Quanzhen Sect has been replaced by Yin Zhiping. There must be something different on Zhongnan Mountain, and His Majesty the Emperor started planning in his heart. (To be continued.)
