Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

The royal concubine went to Chongqing Palace to meet the Queen Mother, but learned that the Queen Mother was in the Imperial Garden, so she took a car to the Imperial Garden.

After arriving at Xizhao Pavilion, Guo saw Li Wei sitting there. She hurried forward to salute Li Wei.

Li Wei said hurriedly: "The noble concubine is exempt, and sit down." She pointed to the stone bench beside her. The court lady standing behind hurriedly laid out an embroidered ball and thanked the noble concubine.

Xizhao Pavilion is located on a small hill with a high terrain, and the rippling blue water Taiye Pool at the foot. In the pavilion, you can see the scenery of the imperial garden all around.

The two sat opposite each other in the Xizhao Pavilion, and the royal concubine Jinggui looked at the rippling Taiyechi with a smile and said to Li Wei: "The Taiyechi was exceptionally lively during the Dragon Boat Festival last year. The dragon boat race was more lively than in previous years. The first emperor, Longyan Dayue, also awarded the Sixth Palace. But soon after the Dragon Boat Festival, the first emperor’s dragon body has been insecure, but it looks like half a year..." The princess Jinggui said that she felt uncomfortable here, her eyes were moist, and she couldn't help holding her kerchief. Wipe it.

Princess Jinggui said to Li Wei with difficulty: "The first emperor has not been easy in his life. When he first took the throne, he was turbulent. Fortunately, it took him a few years to slowly calm the rebellion on the frontier. By vigorously developing agricultural business, the people's life will be better and better."

Li Wei listened to the concubine Jinggui's praise of the first emperor, and thought that the concubine came to her to say this? Not necessarily, she waited until the concubine Jinggui wiped the corners of her eyes again, and then asked: "Is the concubine noble looking for me?"

The concubine Jinggui tried hard to suppress her emotions, and said to Li Wei: "Yes, the concubine will discuss with the queen dowager about the banquet in the family."

Li Wei nodded and said, "After eating this meal, the princes will all return to their fiefs."

"Yes. Everyone gathers to have a simple meal. Are you ready for the Queen Mother?"

Li Wei said: "I have already ordered to go down, but I am still in filial piety, and it is not suitable to be lively. Just follow the previous rules. The noble concubine will not worry about it."

Princess Jinggui smiled and said: "You are still young, Queen Mother, but I didn't expect to be so comprehensive. It is really hard for you."

"I have any hard work, rules, and ancestral system. As long as I give an order, everyone will act according to the previous example. I don't need to do it myself, just ask a few responsible persons."

"This is..." Princess Jinggui said and said with a smile: "Our princess is pregnant here, and I am afraid that there will be some accidents caused by the trouble of the boat. So I discussed with the King of Peace and let the princess stay in Beijing for a few months. I waited until the birth of the fetus before setting off to the fief, so please show me the Queen Mother."

It turns out that this is the main thing that the royal concubine is looking for today. Li Wei carefully considered it and nodded and said: "Yes, Prince Ping also has a courtyard in Beijing, so please ask the princess to stay in the courtyard for the time being. ,"

Li Wei did not embarrass the noble concubine about this matter. After returning to the Chongqing Palace, she also confessed to Mother Yun: "Go to my storeroom to choose a few fine satin and send it to Princess Ping, and give a few more jewelry. "She remembered that Liusao was also pregnant now, and she said: "The same reward will be given to Liusao at Shangshu Mansion, and Liusao will be given two boxes of fetal protection medicine."

During the period of filial piety, I didn't pay attention to food and clothes, and the rough tea and light meal passed. The imperial dining room showed Li Wei the menu for the banquet. Li Wei saw that most of the items listed on the list were fruits and vegetables, occasionally fresh fungi, not pigs, sheep, fish or shrimps. Tea replaces meat wine. There is also a special dim sum list, which is also vegetarian dim sum. Four cold and four hot, plus two points, it is really simple.

After she saw it, there was nothing wrong with it, and she nodded and said: "It's already fine." So Fang Ling took the order and passed it to the director of the Imperial Kitchen.

The director of the Imperial Kitchen will take care of the banquet, so she doesn't need to worry about it. After a nap, I got up and went to the Buddhist hall for incense. On the way back, I ran into the regent's sedan chair before entering Chongqing Palace.

Zhao Qian saw Li Wei's shoulders and got off the sedan first, and accompanied him all the way to Chongqing Palace.

Li Wei went to Linglong Pavilion, and Zhao Qian followed.

Li Wei sat on the east chair, and Zhao Qian stood a few steps away. Qingxiang and Fangqin serve in the house.

Li Wei took the tea Qingxiang handed him, took a look at Zhao Qian, and said, "Is the regent come to Chongqing Palace, but something is wrong?"

Zhao Qian responded, "Queen dowager, take a look at this thing." As he said, he took out a copy from his sleeve, and then presented it to Li Wei.

For some reason, Li Wei took the paper and opened it. This is an impeachment paper. The object of impeachment is her eldest brother Li Shi who is the governor. The paper says that Li Shi is acting for personal gains, and the control is not strict. Assault.

Li Wei watched her heart beat as she slowly closed the zipper, and asked: "Who handed the zhezi?"

"It is equivalent to an anonymous report letter, and I am finding out who made the report."

Li Wei bit his lip secretly. I don't know whether the content of the impeachment is true or not. At present, it is necessary to distinguish clearly. If her elder brother really does something illegal and disciplined, she wants to cover it, I am afraid it will cause greater doubts.

"What does the regent think this impeachment compromise meant?"

Zhao Qian succinctly said: "Maybe we want to disturb the muddy water and let us break our arms."

"Big brother... let's find out the truth first. If the content of the impeachment is true, I should also restrain this brother. In short, I can't let people grab the handle and make a fuss."

Zhao Qian said, "It's rare that you understand the righteousness."

Li Wei chuckled lightly: "I can't protect him if I really do those things that violate the law and discipline in order to seek his own government."

Zhao Qian saw that Li Wei's expression was still calm, and she seemed to have become more sophisticated after being there for more than ten years. It was a good thing that she was not surprised when things happened.

"Don't worry, I will let someone do it."

"Thanks to the regent."

"The minister is responsible for protecting the queen mother. This is what the minister should do."

Li Wei glanced at him, there were a lot of words in his heart, but at the moment he couldn't say a word. She said to Fangqin: "Put a horse of bright brown makeup and satin, and give it to the regent to make clothes."

Zhao Qian thanked the reward.

The two were relatively speechless. Li Wei turned his face away and said lightly: "I already know the regent's report. If there is nothing else, the regent, please leave."

Zhao Qian pursed his lips, and finally had to retire with Li Wei Zuoyi.

Li Wei sat there quietly and watched Zhao Qian leave. His figure quickly disappeared at the door. She was empty in her heart, it would be nice if the past had never happened before, and maybe it wouldn't be so uncomfortable in her heart. She couldn't help but stroked the ring between her fingers that couldn't be removed.

Before Zhao Qian left the Chongqing Palace, he met Mrs. Dun, who came to please Li Wei, and the nurse behind Mrs. Dun held the young Fu Wang in her arms. When Princess Dun met Zhao Qian, she smiled and asked: "Will the prince come to please the queen mother?"

Zhao Qian didn't answer Du Fei Du's words, but touched Fu Wang's little head and said, "Good boy."
