Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

The second year of Junping, the first day of the first month.

The old year has passed, and a new year has come. In the past year, the king of Shu experienced troubles and experienced continuous drought in autumn and winter. I hope this new year will be a peaceful year.

Li Weimao was getting up, used breakfast, changed into court clothes with the help of court ladies, and wore a crown. Just dressed, these concubines and concubines in the palace brought the prince and princess to congratulate her on the new year.

Li Wei was in a pretty good mood this day. The juniors kowtow to her and she accepted it with peace of mind, and generously rewarded each person with a purse, which was filled with golden peas.

Children are always happy to get lucky money. Looking at the smiling faces of the children, the clouds in Li Wei's heart have long since disappeared.

After accepting the congratulations from the concubines and juniors, the maid must also enter the palace to congratulate Li Wei.

Li Wei was promoted in the main hall of Chongqing Palace, and the fateful wives who came to congratulate him filed in, and the line was lined up into the courtyard. Everyone knelt together in the singing ceremony of the eunuch.

After paying the ceremony, Li Weiduan sat on the treasure couch and said loudly: "After turning over the old year that was not very peaceful, I hope that this year will be a good year, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, the weather will be good, the weather will be good, and the grain will be abundant." Persuade her husband to serve the country and the people, get rid of all kinds of bad habits, and be willing to share peace and wealth.

These words of her are common words that every queen dowager would say on the New Year's Day. Last year, she just waited for the queen dowager's position, and because of her physical discomfort, she avoided the fateful wife Chaohe. It was the first time this year to admonish these with women older than her, and it was just a cutscene.

During the New Year, the palace did not sing, but it gave a banquet. The banquet was placed in the east hall of Chongqing Palace, with a total of 20 tables. Those who can be seated are the most proficient figures in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing.

The Astronomy lady and the Fu came, but the Fu did not bring Li Xing, but the fourth and sixth daughter-in-laws. The princess Yongjing didn't see Li Xing and was still a little puzzled. She and Fu said below: "Why didn't the fifth girl in your family, the beautiful little girl who accompanied the Queen Mother, come here?"

Fu explained with a smile: "She doesn't feel good on her body, so she is resting at home."

Princess Yongjing smiled and said: "You are young, and what's wrong? Today, but the first day of the new year will not be taken out to walk around. The little girl in your family is very good and I like it very much."

"Thanks to the princess's kindness, to tell you the truth, Xiao Wu has so many unpleasant days every month when she meets, and she calls her stomach hurt early in the morning, so I let her rest at home."

Princess Yongjing said: "So, I've seen that girl a few times. She is a pretty little girl who looks at her and is acquainted with her body. She is healthy, not as if she is sick."

At this time, I don’t know who said: "Dysmenorrhea, could it be Gong Han?"

Piansheng Fu's ears were so good that she frowned. Princess Yongjing also heard it, and she secretly said in her heart that it might be more difficult to get pregnant if it is Gong Han.

Fu thought in his heart that although their family had some contacts with the princess mansion before, the relationship was not so deep, so why suddenly they became concerned about the five girls. Wu Yatou hasn't officially talked about her relationship so far, but she had planned it a long time ago, but watching the eldest princess act like this, so she praises Wu Yatou, does it mean she wants to match Wu Yatou?

The eldest princess didn't break it, and she was not easy to ask. With this thought in mind, I finally asked when I was speaking with Li Wei alone: ​​"Princess Yongjing saw that I didn't take your sister out, and asked her specially. What do you mean the princess?"

Li Wei said lightly: "Perhaps you want to match her?"

"Really?" Fu's face was surprised.

It was all here, and Li Wei felt that there was no need to conceal it, so he simply told her the words about Li Xing's marriage that the princess had mentioned to her.

When Fu heard this, he was very surprised: "She really has this idea?"

"Yes, the eldest princess is respected, and I have to give her a bit of face when I meet her, and she is extremely majestic. It is rare that she fell in love with the fifth sister. This is the blessing of the Li family."

When Fu heard that, he said, "What a blessing, I don't care about her as a matchmaker for a princess. But it is a pity that if your father had not left in the middle of the year, there would be filial piety in the family. , Here you can bestow a marriage. If you decide the marriage, maybe you can get married this year. I can have grandson next year."

These words Li Wei sounded a bit harsh now. It seemed that her mother didn't know about their sisters' suspicion, and she was not easy to point out. She just listened quietly and didn't follow along.

Fu's words became more and more happy, and during the period he did not forget to praise Zhao Qian fiercely. He praised him for his good looks and valuable status, and praised him for holding great power and being able to handle affairs. In short, the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more happy she became.

After talking about a big deal, Fu sighed again: "It's a pity, there is filial piety here and you can't be a kiss. You have to wait. You are now a queen mother, and the regent must ask what you mean if you want to get married. He has someone else, so you must block it. Think about your sister."

At this moment, Li Wei said: "Mother, in your opinion, is your own daughter not as good as a concubine?"

Fu was a little dazed at first, but then he only thought that Li Wei was jealous, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are now the queen mother, and you have to fight for favor with your sister, I don't know how to be ashamed."

It was a joke, but Li Wei couldn't laugh. Zhao Qian's attitude is that, and her sister is separated from her again, telling her how to do this marriage. Fortunately, there are still two or three years of life. Such a long time is enough to give everyone a buffer.

"Mother, didn't the fifth sister tell you anything after returning from me?"

"I didn't say anything? What happened recently?" The mother and daughter connected to heart, this moment made Fu a little sensitive.

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, there is nothing. Mother, don't think too much."

The mother and daughter gossiping again, and then talked about their mother who had passed away. After a few months, Fu Shi has slowly walked out of the pain of losing his husband, and his emotions are no different from before. Li Wei was relieved when he saw this.

When saying goodbye in the afternoon, Li Wei rewarded his mother, two sister-in-laws, and nephews and nieces. She took care of everyone.

At the beginning of the new year, Li Wei firmly believes that this year will be a brand new beginning.

However, before the first day of the new year was over, there was a case of Fuguang's illness in Hanyuan Hall. Li Wei heard about it and hurriedly went to visit.

The imperial doctor had already seen Fu Guang, so he comforted and said to Li Wei: "Don't worry, the queen mother is just suffering from the wind and cold. Take some medicine and take care of it slowly."

Li Weifang was relieved.
