4763 Power without love 7
A group of people sat in the palace. For a moment, they could only hear the sound of Jiujiu's tea cover scraping through the tea cup. After a long time, Jiujiu said, "Since it's okay, then kneel down and rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiujiu heard a breath of relief.
Jiujiu raised her lips and left with the help of the maid.
How good it is to be a queen? You are probably the boss except the emperor.
And how good it is to be a queen with a backstage? Maybe even the emperor still has to act according to your expression.
And Jiujiu is such a queen.
After imposing the harem of Emperor Chu, he had no worries and began to seize power.
The reason why Emperor Chu wanted to destroy the Yan family was because the Yan family controlled all the military power except the Imperial Guard.
The last Emperor of Chu was very talented and had internal and external troubles at that time. If the military power was scattered in the hands of a few people, it would be of no use to the country, so all the military power was handed over to the Yan family, who was most loyal to the royal family.
First, it is to make the Yan family dominant and to be powerful, and second, it is to believe in the loyalty of the Yan family.
Although Emperor Chu has inherited the great talent of the previous Emperor Chu, he has seen more experience in the palace struggles since childhood and has been framed more often, and his temperament has become suspicious. Even though the Yan family has already devoted all their loyalty, he is still suspicious.
The world is turbulent, and living is a luxury. Everyone can only hold the hands of others tightly to seek hope of survival. Therefore, at this time, people will be unprecedentedly united, trust each other, and be extremely firm.
Once you are safe, people's hearts will change, and they begin to guess each other, doubting whether you are good to me and whether there are some secrets that are unspeakable.
If you want to see Jiujiu, Emperor Chu is just because he has too many good days and is full and has been full, he will occasionally be suspicious of this and that.
Since I have done nothing, you are so suspicious of everything, then I might as well do everything.
Jiujiu didn't want to give birth to a child for Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu would definitely not let her give birth to a child. Therefore, Jiujiu never thought about letting Emperor Chu's descendants ascend the throne from the beginning. Since he suspected that the Yan family had a disobedient intention, she would completely confirm this disobedient intention and directly support the Yan family ascend the throne.
The Yan family at the left and right regards her as a treasure and replaces her with the emperor. Her life is still very easy, so why bother to guard the trash of Emperor Chu?
Jiujiu wanted to summon the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo directly, which would definitely attract the suspicion of Emperor Chu, so Jiujiu directly used the excuse that the lotus flowers in the palace were blooming very well and wanted to hold a lotus banquet.
With Emperor Chu, he had a big banquet for his ministers every year, and the queen had a big banquet for his ministers and wives every year. Jiujiu wanted to hold a lotus banquet, which was just one of the reasons.
Not only did Emperor Chu not stop him, but would support him extra.
Three days later, the news that the queen wanted to hold a lotus feast in the Imperial Garden spread.
In addition to the people of the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion who wanted to have a good talk with Jiujiu during the banquet, the most excited were the ladies of the ministers who had not yet talked about their relatives and wanted to climb to the top.
Now Emperor Chu is not yet thirty years old, and he is so handsome. When he was a prince, he fascinated a large group of women in the boudoir. Now he ascended the throne and became emperor. With the buff bonus of the emperor, his charm is soaring. If it weren't for the regret of marriage, it would have shamed the entire family, those women in the boudoir who have already betrothed can marry Emperor Chu. Even if they can't ascend to that position, as long as they can become concubines and have a happy night with Emperor Chu, it is also excellent.
After Jiujiu held a lotus banquet, the busiest thing was the clothing and jewelry store.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. When beautiful clothes are seen, a delicate jewelry plays a decisive factor at some point.
Therefore, the business of the jewelry store in the recent clothing store is very good, and some friends in the boudoir fight for a piece of clothing can be said to be very interesting.
Jiujiu can hear Xiao Guizi telling him about the farces outside. Although they are old soup and new medicines every time, they listen to them more often. When the protagonists are girls who are as beautiful as flowers, they still find it interesting.
On the day of the lotus feast, exquisite carriages came to the palace staggeringly. Ladies in exquisitely dressed and beautifully dressed out of the carriage one after another like dumplings, and plunged into the palace where there was no end.
Jiujiu is the queen and a heavyweight guest, so he is naturally the last one to appear.
By then, the women in the boudoir and the wives of the ministers were already sitting together in groups, or carefully packing their makeup, or chatting and laughing with friends. However, because they didn't know when Emperor Chu would come, everyone's words and deeds would inevitably be a little deliberate.
With the little Guizi saying "The Empress is here", the ladies who were still chatting and laughing just now immediately stood up and knelt down, paying respects like Jiujiu.
After Jiujiu sat down, she looked at Yingying and Yanyan who was kneeling all over the ground. She thought that she could see the people in Zhenguo Hou Mansion when she brought it back. She felt a little better. She raised her lips and said, "Get up!"
With Jiujiu's order, the Yingying and Yanyan Yingying who were kneeling on the ground got up from the ground.
Some noble girls who attended court banquets knew that Jiujiu's appearance was ordinary and was entirely supported by family background, so they were not very curious about Jiujiu. Some noble girls who didn't know Jiujiu subconsciously raised their heads and couldn't help but show a contemptuous expression after seeing Jiujiu's appearance.
Anyone with ordinary appearance can become a queen. Can they become a favorite concubine with such beauty?
Jiujiu glanced over and saw countless self-righteous women with bright eyes. She laughed and lowered her eyes to block the gaze in her eyes. Her eyes were passing by Wang Qiang, who gave birth to two princes for Emperor Chu. When Yan Chen died, she was already the best candidate for the next queen.
Jiujiu spoke slowly, her voice was neither fast nor slow, with some kind of calmness. Even though she was not good at appearance, it added a lot of charm to her because of this voice. Everyone who was originally disdainful of her eyes instantly felt a little different. "Can you have the family of Lord Wang Xufu, the Minister of Rites?"
Wang Qiang is known as the best beauty in the capital. He was named by Jiujiu and was delighted and immediately went out to pay tribute: "My minister, Queen Qiang, pay homage to the Queen."
"You are Wang Xufu's daughter?"
"yes?"
Jiujiu smiled slightly, and her originally ordinary facial features instantly became fresh and more romantic, making Wang Qiang look straight in an instant.
"Wang Xufu is known as a talented man. Since you are Wang Xufu's daughter, you want to read the Four Books and Five Classics from a young man. Now you can write a poem with this lotus as the title, is it okay?"
The Empress said, but Wang Qiang dared not say that it was impossible.
What's more, if this poem is well written, it will not only make a big splash at the lotus banquet, but may also reach the emperor's ears. If the emperor notices her because of this, next year's talent show...
