Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 334 A Xian Ruo is here

Today, the eldest princess naturally came to attend the palace banquet, but after the palace banquet was over, she did not return to the palace, but was left in the palace by the emperor's younger brother.

Emperor Ming was slightly drunk and finally invited his eldest sister to his bedroom. He smiled and joked with the eldest princess: "Ever since you reconciled with your brother-in-law, you really forgot about my younger brother. It's rare for you to come into the palace today. Just stay here for one day, and you can spend some time with my younger brother."

Emperor Ming lost his mother when he was young, and he liked to stick to his sister since he was a child. Now that he is in his fifties, he still looks like this.

The eldest princess glared at her younger brother, sighed slightly, and replied bluntly: "Now that your palace is non-stop all day long, I don't want to get involved."

When Emperor Ming heard what the eldest princess said, he said helplessly: "They are just thinking about my dragon chair, so let them go and make trouble."

The eldest princess said: "Now that the conflict between the DPRK and China has reached the point of incompatibility, don't you want to think of a way?"

Emperor Ming sighed and said: "Eldest sister also knows that Bi'er can't be an emperor with his temperament. If I hand over the country and the country to him, wouldn't it mean that the world will be in chaos?"

The eldest princess replied: "I know you have always been interested in Jin'er, but I don't think that child is the material to be an emperor."

When Emperor Ming heard what the eldest princess said, he couldn't help but want to say good things for Concubine Meng and the King of Jin. However, before he could speak, the eldest princess rushed to say: "As the saying goes, you love the house and the bird. You like the Meng family wholeheartedly. Naturally, you are looking at it." I don’t know what’s wrong with her and the King Jin she gave birth to.”

Emperor Ming said anxiously: "Sister, I know you have always been worried about A Xian's affairs, but Meng Shi."

The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "That's all, I don't want to mention that Meng family, and you don't want to talk about it anymore."

As she said that, she looked at Emperor Ming and got down to business: "Now Daqi is extremely poor and weak, and the people's lives are getting worse day by day. As an emperor, you should do something, sister, I don't want you to You can work hard to govern like your imperial grandfather and father, but you should always fulfill the responsibilities of an emperor for the sake of the people of the world."

When Emperor Ming heard this, he leaned his head on the back of his chair and sighed: "There have been constant natural disasters in the past few years. In order to help the victims, I even emptied the treasury. This is God's temper. What can I do? ?”

 “Brother!” the eldest princess shouted angrily, loudly.

Emperor Ming saw that his sister was anxious and worried that he would be criticized again, so he hurriedly said perfunctorily: "Sister, don't be upset. After the New Year, I will personally go to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven and ancestors, and pray for good weather next year."

Just as he was talking, the maid who was waiting outside came in and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." After saying that, she respectfully presented two pills.

Emperor Ming took the pill, put it in his mouth, and drank it with warm water.

The eldest princess asked: "Are you feeling unwell? What kind of medicine are you taking?"

Emperor Ming swallowed the pill and said with a smile: "I am in very good health. I don't feel any discomfort at all. To be honest with my eldest sister, this is the elixir of immortality that was prepared for me by an expert from outside the world that I am looking for."

When the eldest princess heard this, she said anxiously: "Where did this worldly master come from? It's not like those stinky Taoist priests sent to you by the Meng family, is it?"

Emperor Ming replied: "Sir, please don't worry. Those Taoist priests are really experts in the world. A few of them can ask questions about heaven and reach the gods. Since I took the elixir they made, I am really immune to all diseases and my muscles and bones are smooth." .”

Seeing that Emperor Ming was unreasonably confused, the eldest princess persuaded her earnestly: "Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws. No one can go against nature. There are many emperors in the past dynasties who have sought the method of immortality, and a few have been able to die a good death." The princess looked at Emperor Ming earnestly: "Brother, just listen to my eldest sister's advice and drive those Taoist priests out of the palace. Don't listen to their nonsense anymore."

The eldest princess tried her best to persuade her, but the old Emperor Ming, who had been immersed in a gentle and wealthy land all his life, could not listen to her.

 In the end, the two siblings separated on bad terms.

After the eldest princess left Emperor Ming’s bedroom and returned to her own Chaolu Palace, she ordered her to go down: “No matter who comes to pay homage, I will not see you.”

As expected, as soon as the eldest princess came out of the bath, served by the maids, Aunt Ju murmured: "Princess, while you were busy bathing, Concubine Meng came over. After being sent back, she ordered people to send many things. Just after Concubine Meng left, Empress Cao also came to Chaolu Palace in person, and after being turned away, she left a lot of things behind."

The eldest princess looked gloomy, waved her hands and said, "I will order people to send everything back tomorrow."

Aunt Ju glanced at the face of the eldest princess and explained: "The battle for the throne in the past has never been fierce. When you assisted His Majesty in ascending the throne, it was even more thrilling than it is now. Now the affairs of the palace and the court are not enough. For concern."

The eldest princess was speechless. She leaned on the bed and looked around at the Chaolu Palace where she had lived before leaving. This palace was still extremely luxurious. Not only this palace, but also everything in the palace was still the same. It used to be normal, but the eldest princess knew in her heart that under the still glorious appearance of the Zhao dynasty, it was actually riddled with holes.

The eldest princess is indeed extremely worried, but it is not because of the current partisanship in the court and the increasingly absurd and confusing younger brother. What really worries the eldest princess is that there is no successor to the Zhao dynasty.

Of the three sons of Emperor Ming, the prince was violent and perverse, and could not bear to take on the important task; the king of Jin was ruthless and cunning, and could only play political tricks, but could not stir up the great cause of the country; and the king of Qi, who was mentally retarded, could not be counted on.

Even if Emperor Ming's sons take the throne, the world will definitely be in chaos, and the Zhao Dynasty's more than 300 years of foundation will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The eldest princess thought silently for a long time and said leisurely: "Mom, what do you think would happen if A-Xian was still here?"

The eldest princess had a deep love for the former queen's sister-in-law. The death of Queen Li has always been a pain in the eldest princess's heart. The more painful it is, the deeper it is hidden. Therefore, since the death of Queen Li, the eldest princess has rarely mentioned her.

Seeing that the princess suddenly mentioned the late empress today, Grandma Ju sighed slightly and said, "Empress Li is well-educated and benevolent. If she were still here, naturally there would be no such chaotic situation."

After hearing this, the eldest princess echoed with deep feelings: "Yes, it would be great if A-Xian was still here."

Seeing that the princess was missing her dearly, Aunt Ju took the opportunity to ask: "After the New Year, it will be the death anniversary of the late Queen. Do you want to remind His Majesty?"

After hearing this, the eldest princess sneered and said: "If he still remembers A-Xian in his heart, why do I need to remind him? Since he has already forgotten it, I just grabbed him by force, so what's the point."

With that said, the eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at Grandma Ju and said, "This time I will go with the old lady to worship A-Xian, and then I'll call Bo Yue and Shu'er."
