Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

"Snee!"

Li Wei sneezed, then turned over again, but couldn't sleep peacefully. She opened her eyelids and saw the white gauze tent, on which there were ink paintings lightly like clouds and fog.

Soon she closed her eyes again and planned to sleep for a while, but unfortunately she was not drowsy, she turned over and lay inward again, opened her eyes again, and saw the black-lacquered rosewood bedboard with inlaid in the middle of the bedboard. There is a piece of jade with a landscape pattern, but on both sides are rows of carved auspicious patterns. She was so excited that she immediately sat up and pushed away the bright yellow quilt covering her body.

The maid who was guarding before asked in a low voice: "Queen dowager, are you going to get up?"

Li Wei panicked, what happened and why did she return to this ghost place.

The maid then asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother..."

There were so many threads in Li Wei's mind, and gradually a trace of panic emerged. This is a dream, it must be a dream. She dreamed about things in Daqi again. Li Wei stretched out his hand, slender and as white as jade. The ring finger of her right hand carried a ring she had never seen before. Li Wei was just wondering. Before clarifying the situation before him, the maid had already carefully picked up her tent, but when she saw that the queen mother was well, she knelt on the couch and asked: "Queen mother, you want someone to come in and serve you up. ?"

Li Wei turned his head and took a look. The woman kneeling on the couch was Lan Hui, the maid of Chongqing Palace.

She was puzzled, but she couldn't show too much, looking at Lan Hui's black head. She tried her best to make her emotions sound calmer, so she asked slowly: "When is it now?"

"After returning to the Queen Mother, it is already the beginning of the application."

When she was the queen mother, she never slept until Shenchu ​​every day. At the beginning of Shen, he got up and went to the Buddhist hall to pray for the first emperor. She looked at the whole room exactly as it was then. But what is going on now, is she really returning to Daqi, or is she just a dream?

Li Wei didn't speak, Lan Hui retreated to the door, gave a light high-five, and then a few court ladies filed in. Some hold towels, some hold copper basins, and some hold fragrant pancreas.

Li Wei saw a carved dressing table standing against the wall over there, with a mercury mirror inlaid on the dressing table. She walked over and clearly saw the figure reflected in the mirror. Li Wei had been stunned a long time ago, his old face. Could she really come back?

The palace ladies carefully waited on Li Wei to freshen up. At this moment, the curtain rang slightly, and another grand palace lady came in with a cup of sweet white porcelain.

"Niang Niang, I have boiled Ejiao Guyuan Ointment from the Imperial Dining Room and delivered it."

Hearing this voice, Li Wei knew that it was Wan Su without turning his head, and finally handed her the bowl of poison Wan Su. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and in order not to let the people who were waiting in front of her notice anything, she forced the anger down again.

She is still in the filial piety, and all the jewelry is not usable. She cleverly combed her updo, got a white velvet flower on her side hairpin, and changed into a white round-neck gown.

There was no pattern on the robe, and looking at himself in the mirror, he used to look familiar and strange. Why is she back again. Once she was looking forward to coming back to preside over the situation, but now everything is stable and the future is bright, she has completely cut off her thoughts here, why let her come back.

How can Li Wei be willing.

After freshening up, the sedan chair outside is ready. Wan Su came forward to pick up Li Wei and slowly walked out of the bedroom. Li Wei saw the tall lilac tree in the yard, but it was not yet blooming, or it was just bare branches.

She remembered that the lilac had bloomed white flowers on the day she was poisoned to death, that is to say, she returned before the palace change? Li Wei was full of doubts, and finally she asked Wansu: "What day is today?"

"Hui Niangniang, today is February 12th."

Is it February 12 of the first year of Junpei? Could it be that she returned to the month before being poisoned in her previous life? Li Wei's steps were a little slow, she didn't think about anything else, then got on the sedan chair and went to the Buddhist hall. Li Wei bowed down to the Buddha statue and asked in a low voice, "Bodhisattva, what is going on? Is this just a dream of mine, or is it really coming back?"

The Bodhisattva's precious appearance was solemn and silent, and could not answer Li Wei's words at all.

She bowed before the Bodhisattva and also incense, but did not chant in front of her as usual. She wanted to figure out what was going on.

After the incense, Li Wei stayed in the Buddhist hall for a while. Obviously she hadn't understood what had happened, and how she had come back from sleep. Is this a dream she had, or is she coming back really.

When Li Wei finished the Buddha's treatment, the shoulders outside had been prepared long ago. After coming out, he sat on the shoulders and returned to Chongqing Palace.

Li Wei sat on his shoulders, looking at the familiar palace, like an old dream. Everything is so unreal. She saw the ring on her finger again. This ring was very weird. She never remembered that she had such a ring before, nor did she know who turned it out and put it on her.

Soon after returning to the palace, someone came to report: "I will give you the queen mother, the royal concubine and the princess Ping are pleased to send you peace."

King Ping has not returned to the fief? Think about it carefully now that it's only February 12, the first emperor's hundred days have not passed, and he will not enter the underground palace until the coffin of the Hundred Days Daxing Emperor. These princes were buried before they returned to their fiefs.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Please come in."

I always feel uncomfortable on my body, and my head is groggy. The soul returned to his body, but felt uncomfortable. It seems that she has become accustomed to being an ordinary urban woman Li Wei of that era, rather than the queen mother Li Wei.

Princess Jinggui and Princess Peace got permission, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in one after another.

Li Wei glanced at her. If she remembered correctly, the princess Jinggui is now in her thirties. It is said that she gave birth to the second son, King Ping, before she was fifteen. She went to see Princess Ping again, a tall, plump young woman who was only fifteen or six years old, wearing a white plain round-neck gown. Her gaze was attracted by the bulging abdomen, yes, Princess Ping was pregnant.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met Li Wei, and they bowed their heads with Li Wei.

Before the two of them got down on their knees, Li Wei frowned and said, "Stop the gift, give a seat."

After living there for more than ten years, her mentality has long since changed. She has long been accustomed to the practice of someone bowing to her, and she always feels unbearable.

"I heard that the queen mother is ill of peace, and the princess wants to come in and see you, how is the queen mother better today?"

Is she sick? No wonder I feel very uncomfortable in this body. With her head still groggy, she said, "You two are worried, I'm fine."

Princess Jinggui smiled and said: "I hope you get better soon, the queen mother. We are still waiting for you to come out to preside over the overall situation."

She came out to preside over the overall situation? Yes, soon after the death of Emperor Xian, she became ill, and it was inconvenient to work when she was sick. The matter of the sixth house was handed over to the two assistants, Princess Jinggui and Princess Qi. She naturally started to recover from illness.
