Chapter 134 Winter Moon(1/2)
Empress Dowager Han believed that Ji Xiaotang had understood her hint, and was moved and got hooked.??? ◎№ �
Moreover, Ji Xiaotang has to consider it for Xuan'er if he doesn't do it for himself.
Empress Dowager Han knew that many women themselves had no desires, but they wanted to get the best of all this for their children. For their children, they could do anything.
Ji Xiaotang is obviously a woman with great maternal love. This is the first time Ji Xiaotang has taken Xuan'er's fine arts. She can tell from the eyes of Ji Xiaotang looking at Xuan'er.
Empress Dowager Han thought he was able to speak more intimately.
"...The world is not peaceful, internal and external troubles, Xiaotang, we have to do it for ourselves, but also for Xuan'er..." Empress Dowager Han talked to Ji Xiaotang for a while about the situation in the world, and focused on the various difficulties faced by the Qin Dynasty, which was quite heart-warming.
"Zhen'er has a good relationship with you, and these things must have been mentioned to you normally." Finally, Empress Dowager Han said again.
In Ji Xiaotang's view, every word from Empress Dowager Han has a purpose. Therefore, this sentence has the meaning of temptation.
"The prince occasionally tells me some of the errands he does, but how can the prince compare with his mother? The mother's mother's viewing is naturally more profound and thorough than the prince."
Everyone loves to hear good words, so every time Ji Xiaotang comes to Empress Dowager Han, he will pick and say something nice. Even if he cannot really please Empress Dowager Han, he will not suffer any losses to her.
"Xiaotang, you are just sweet-mouthed and you can make me happy the most." Empress Dowager Han smiled.
"What I told is the truth." Ji Xiaotang smiled.
Empress Dowager Han laughed for a while before slowly calming her smile. She reached out to the desk and took a few memorials and handed them to Ji Xiaotang.
"Mother..." Ji Xiaotang did not answer.
Not everyone can read this memorial.
"You can just take a look, it's okay. I'll show you what anyone can say." Empress Dowager Han insisted on handing the memorial to Ji Xiaotang. Then he said, "Look at it carefully, I want to listen to your opinions."
Empress Dowager Han signaled Ji Xiaotang to read the memorial.
Ji Xiaotang knew that Empress Dowager Han's move must have a purpose, so he took on the memorial and looked at it one by one.
Ji Xiaotang's face slowly changed, and his eyebrows also frowned slightly.
Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang's eyes and raised her lips in a smug curve.
When Ji Xiaotang finished reading the memorial, his face was already a little pale and his hands were trembling slightly. Ji Xiaotang put the memorial back on the desk.
"Mother..." Ji Xiaotang looked up at Empress Dowager Han.
"Xiaotang. You said, what should we do?" Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang.
"Shunyi Bo... he is only eight to nine years old and will never get better in his life. Raising him will only benefit the Qin Dynasty, but not harm."
The memorials that Empress Dowager Han showed to Ji Xiaotang were all officials impeach Shun Yi Bo and suggested that Empress Dowager Han kill Shun Yi Bo. It seems that although Empress Dowager Han rejected the memorials of some officials, it did not completely stop this matter.
"Xiaotang," Queen Mother Han said earnestly, "This country and country are not the pastoral houses of ordinary people, nor are they a child's house. I know that you have followed your father to read the classics and history since childhood. Don't you really don't understand this principle, right?"
"My mother, Shunyi Bo, is also my sister's husband."
Empress Dowager Han snorted softly from her nose.
If Shunyi Bo had not married Ji Xiaoyun, she would have to eliminate the roots. Why should she call Ji Xiaotang in such trouble and let Ji Xiaotang "decide" Shunyi Bo's life and death?
Shunyi Bo will eventually die, and torture Ji Xiaotang is her main purpose.
That's right. She wanted Ji Xiaotang to choose between power and family affection, and between her own safety and power and her closest relatives. Just as the Beiman wanted Changning to marry her, she wanted to make the choice she wanted to make.
Ji Xiaotang and she are the same type of people, but they are not exactly the same. She has known for a long time that Ji Xiaotang values feelings very much, especially her deep feelings for her family.
Harming Ji Xiaotang's family can make Ji Xiaotang more painful than hurting Ji Xiaotang himself.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Han could hardly help laughing.
When she wanted to take revenge on the Ji family and wanted to marry Ji Xiaoyun away, she fell into Ji Xiaotang's trap. She betrothed Ji Xiaoyun to Shunyi Bo, which not only fulfilled Ji Xiaoyun's wishes, but also made the Ji family marry Shunyi Bo. The Ji family and Ji Xiaoyun not only did not suffer because of this incident, but instead lived happily.
Now, Empress Dowager Han wants Ji Xiaotang to kill herself and eventually fall into the trap she set up.
Is Ji Xiaotang very regretful now? I regret not having designed Ji Xiaoyun to marry Shunyi Bo?!
Empress Dowager Han stared at Ji Xiaotang, her eyes shining. She was unwilling to let go of any change in Ji Xiaotang's expression. Only when Ji Xiaotang was in pain would she be happy and happy.
Ji Xiaotang did look painful.
"Xiaotang, you must have heard a saying, "Destroy relatives for justice." Empress Dowager Han slowly induced Ji Xiaotang, "You are for the country and the people of Qin. And Xuan'er, for Xuan'er, Xiaotang, you should make the right choice."
Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyelids slightly. Empress Dowager Han only saw the pain on her face, but could not see the coldness in her eyes.
In Ji Xiaotang's ears, Empress Dowager Han's voice seemed to be a savage tongue. She had experienced this scene once and has never forgotten it yet. It was in this Cining Palace that Empress Dowager Han once gave her the right to choose.
Should I choose to marry Qin Zhen or Qin Lin?
That was just Empress Dowager Han's trick to catch a cat and a mouse, and it did not give her any choice at all.
She had no choice at all.
Just like this time.
No matter what she said, even if she knelt down now, cried and begged Empress Dowager Han to let her go Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun, Empress Dowager Han would not agree at all. If she did that, it would be just adding jokes to Empress Dowager Han and making Empress Dowager Han even more proud.
She has been trying her best to protect Xie Huaijin, but the development of things has finally reached this point.
The poison of Empress Dowager Han's intentions was almost a crime that Ji Xiaotang saw in his life.
Empress Dowager Han wanted her to take charge of killing her relatives, and for herself, her son, to kill her sister, and to her childhood playmates who are fraternal and fraternal.
This is the revenge of Empress Dowager Han.
"What do you want me to choose?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyelids and looked straight into Empress Dowager Han's eyes and asked clearly.
"Xiaotang, it's not what I want you to choose, but what you want to choose?" Queen Mother Han said with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang sneered secretly. At this time, Empress Dowager Han was still playing her fake compassionate trick and cat-catching rats.
However, she made Empress Dowager Han happy first.
Cat-clawed and mouse, who is a cat? Who is a mouse? It is not so simple and easy to identify in the game.
"My mother, I have a condition..."
...
When Ji Xiaotang came out of Cining Palace, his face looked a little bad.
Madam Cheng failed to enter the study room of Queen Mother Han with Ji Xiaotang. Seeing that Ji Xiaotang came out safely, she hurriedly came forward.
Ji Xiaotang waved her hand gently and signaled her not to ask anything or say anything.
"Princess, your face..." Madam Cheng still said with concern.
"It seems that it is colder this year than in previous years. I think the wind is a bit bit bone-breathing." Ji Xiaotang raised his eyes and looked at the eaves of the palaces far and near, and his tone of speaking was a bit far away, "Mummy brings my cloak..."
Although it is getting late autumn, the sun is shining brightly today, and everyone is wearing a jacket, so it is not cold at all. But Ji Xiaotang wants a cloak.
When Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, he brought his clothes and bags with his maid. Madam Cheng has always been a well-prepared person. As soon as she turned around, she took the cloak from Xiu'er's hand and served Ji Xiaotang together and put it on the cloak.
Ji Xiaotang raised his hand, held it on Madam Cheng's arm, and slowly walked out of the palace.
This scene was soon reported to Empress Dowager Han in Cining Palace to find out.
Empress Dowager Han listened carefully to Ji Xiaotang's actions, and smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. She was obviously very satisfied.
"Pianpian, are you happy?" Empress Dowager Han asked Yang Pianpian who was serving beside her.
"Pianpian is very happy. The Empress Dowager is wise. No matter how smart Ji Xiaotang is, he can never escape the palm of the Empress Dowager."
"Hahaha..." Empress Dowager Han laughed happily.
...
In the early winter of the 11th year of Longqing, Shunyi Bo and his wife Ji went to Huilong Temple ten miles outside the capital to burn incense. On the way back, the horse driving on the way was suddenly crazy and everyone could not rescue him. Even the people and the car fell into the mountain stream on the side of the road.
When the officers and soldiers who were patrolling the city arrived, they went down to the mountain stream with the people from Shunyi Bo's mansion to check. The crazy horse had fallen to death and the carriage was also broken into pieces. Shunyi Bo and his wife Ji in the carriage were both thrown out of the carriage and died of anger.
When Shunyibo's wife Ji's family arrived after hearing the news, they burst into tears in front of the corpses of the two. Ji's mother even cried twice. Thanks to the imperial physician from Prince An's mansion who arrived and applied acupuncture in time, he rescued Ji's mother.
Subsequently, the bodies of Shunyi Bo and his wife Ji were transported back to Shunyi Bo's Mansion. Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing received the news and expressed their grief. They issued an order to order the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for handling the funeral of Shunyi Bo and his wife, and to bury the two in accordance with the etiquette of the Duke of the State and the Duke of the State.
Shunyi Bo and his wife unfortunately passed away, leaving behind a young daughter named Qi Yongshou, who was under one year old. Prince An went to the palace to ask Empress Dowager Han for the imperial edict. Empress Dowager Han approved it. Prince An took Qi Yongshou to Prince An's mansion and raised her personally. Prince An accepted Qi Yongshou as her adopted daughter and went to the palace to ask for a title.
Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing issued an order to grant Qi Yongshou the princess, and enjoyed the same salary as Qin Ying, the eldest daughter of Prince An’s mansion. He was called Princess Yongshou in history.
Princess Yongshou’s nickname is Qijin.
...
Anwang Mansion The upper room of the Yichun Hall
It was already winter, and the wind was biting outside, but the house in the Yichun Hall was warm.
Ji Xiaotang sat on a big kang covered with a big red orangutan felt, wearing a home-style little white close-fitting jacket and a gray squirrel leather skirt of the same color. She was watching Madam Cheng, the wet nurse and others change Xuan'er and Qijin's clothes.
The two little kids were originally wearing plain clothes, but now they were going to go to Xinhua Hall, so they specially changed to the plain ones, but they avoided the extra festive colors of big red and big green.
Ji Xiaotang chose goose yellow for both children.
"The princess should change her clothes, too." Madam Cheng said to Ji Xiaotang, "It's time for the prince to come here."
Ji Xiaotang said a good word, then nodded and stood up.
Jin'er and Xiu'er have prepared all her clothes for going out. Both children are dressed in goose yellow, and Ji Xiaotang has changed into lake blue. The embroidered patterns are gorgeous but not lacking in elegance.
