Young Liang Zhu
Wang Baochuan had only been the Empress for eighteen days before she died of illness.
She did not make it to the so-called banquet of peace.
Presumably, the one who really appeared at the banquet with Xue Pinggui at that time must be Princess Tuozan.
No wonder Tuozan wanted her to die.
If she were to miss out on such an honor, with her pride, she would not be able to accept it.
However, Siyang was looking forward to seeing Tuozan submit to her at the banquet.
It would be very exciting.
Didn't all of them want her to die?
Hmph.
She would not die.
Not only would she not die,
She would also live longer than anyone else. Because she had to personally send away these people who wanted her life.
"Miss, I see that the weather is good today. Do you want to go out for a walk?" After everything was done, Cui'er knelt at the side and asked.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
Siyang touched her hair and nodded in satisfaction. "I also feel very energetic these few days. Lying in bed makes my bones weak. Then let's go for a walk."
The previous Emperor of the Central Plains was greedy and lecherous.
He ignored the imperial court.
The entire imperial court was controlled by Prime Minister Wang Yun.
Son-in-law Wei Hu and the others controlled it.
The imperial court was corrupt.
The common people complained.
Under such circumstances, Xue Pinggui also had an opportunity.
He led the Xiliang Army to take down Chang 'an City in one fell swoop and ascended the throne as Emperor.
Wang Yun was Wang Baochuan's father, but Xue Pinggui did not show mercy because of this. Back then in Chang 'an City, it was because Wang Yun made things difficult for him that he was forced to join the army and go to Xiliang. There was also the persecution of the brothers Wei Hu and Wei Bao. In short, under the new and old hatred, Wang Yun, Wei Hu, and Wei Bao were directly sentenced to death.
All of the Wang family's property was added to the national treasury. Wang Baochuan's two sisters' in-laws were also confiscated. Those who participated in the rebellion were all executed after autumn. As for the rest, the men were exiled, and the women were sent to the female branch.
Because Wang Baochuan could not bear to see her family fall to such a state, she pleaded with Xue Pinggui. In the end, her mother and two sisters were saved and sent to the nunnery on the outskirts of Chang 'an City to shave their hair and cultivate, praying for the sins committed by their family.
In fact, it was no wonder that Xue Pinggui did not want her to live....... Wang Baochuan..... Xue Pinggui.. As long as Wang was alive, the world would not forget how Xue Pinggui's 18 years of her. and how he hurt the Yue family.. to the outside, as long as Wang was was....
If the two sides were combined, the other people's perception of him as the Emperor would be subtle.
Perhaps the superior always liked to use things to cover up his own stains.
The Imperial Garden was built very delicately. From this point, it could be seen that the previous Emperor really knew how to enjoy wealth and luxury. Unfortunately, he was too gullible, and Wang Yun took advantage of the loophole, causing the throne to be taken away in the end.
After walking around, Siyang found a place to sit down in a pavilion. Xue Pinggui had just ascended the throne, and everything was busy. Although Wang Baochuan was given the title of Empress, she was used to being thrifty. In the palace, other than Cui 'er serving her personally, there were only a few palace maids who swept the floor. Later, when she suddenly fell ill, the power of the harem was handed over to Tuozan. Intentionally or unintentionally, no one touched her people.
Last time, Tuozan deliberately mentioned it in front of Xue Pinggui. She probably wanted to shirk her responsibility.
Siyang didn't care about this. If she sent someone now, it would most likely be someone else's informant. Why bother?
Cui 'er took the basket from the little palace maid behind her. She took out the snacks, teapot, and teacups. After putting them in place, she washed the teacups with tea. Finally, under Siyang's gaze, she took out a silver needle.
"What are you doing?" Siyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Now it's better to be careful. Miss, you've finally recovered a little. What if something happens again?" Cui 'er said without raising her head. While speaking, she took out the silver needle to test the things she brought out. "Although this servant made all these myself, it's hard to guarantee that no one took advantage of it."
"Okay, Miss, please enjoy." She put the freshly poured tea in front of Siyang.
Although Siyang didn't think it was necessary to do this, she was still very touched by Cui 'er's thoughtfulness. No wonder Wang Baochuan felt sorry for her. She had been following her around like an old maid, but in the end, she didn't have a whole corpse.
Cui 'er stared at Siyang as she ate the snacks. She looked around and couldn't help but come closer. "Miss, now that you're getting better, what do you plan to do next?"
Si Yang glanced at Cui 'er but didn't say anything. Cui' er wasn't stupid after all. She didn't say anything.
"Miss, you haven't finished what you wanted to say last time. Are we going to leave here?" To be honest, Cui 'er really didn't like this palace. Compared to the hard life she had in the past, there was good food and good sleep here, but she didn't feel comfortable anymore. She would rather go back and eat rice and vegetables. It was better than losing her life here.
"There's no rush." Siyang shook her head and looked at her with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You too."
"Wangye, this way please."
Suddenly, a sharp voice was heard from afar. Looking to the side, they saw two figures coming from the path to the left of Siyang's pavilion.
The one leading the way was a young eunuch, and the one behind him was a grown man.
This person was very tall and wore a blue robe with a belt of the same color around his waist. His long hair was tied up with a jade crown. One hand was in front of him and the other was behind his back. He walked leisurely behind the young eunuch.
As if he felt someone was spying on him, he stopped and turned his head to look in their direction.
Looking directly at him, Si Yang also saw his appearance clearly. He should be past the age of thirty, his skin was somewhat dark, but his facial features were deep and his appearance was dignified. His pair of eyes were extremely spirited when she looked at him just now. His lips had a short beard like Xue Pinggui's, but when the corners of his lips were pursed, it seemed that there was always a hint of a smile.
"Wangye …" The young eunuch saw that he wasn't moving and was stunned. He followed his line of sight and was shocked. He immediately knelt down. "This servant greets the empress."
Siyang raised her eyebrows slightly.
She also recognized the young eunuch. He was one of Xue Pinggui's people. Then this person was going to see Xue Pinggui.
"This servant represents the king to toast His Majesty and the empress. May the two countries be neighbors and be friends for a thousand years."
Following the lead of the first envoy, the people below all became lively. They all toasted to the Emperor and Empress.
"… May His Majesty live forever and the empress never grow old …"
"May our country prosper and prosper. May His Majesty and the empress live forever …"
The congratulatory words were said in a variety of ways.
"Good, good, good. Thank you all for your kind intentions. I have received it. Let us drink this cup together. "
Xue Pinggui was also very happy today. He raised his cup again and again and didn't refuse anyone. Not long after, his face was flushed and he was a little drunk. However, he was a martial artist and his alcohol tolerance was quite good. For the time being, there was no need to worry too much.
Siyang took a sip of the wine cup and glanced at the people below. Finally, her eyes stopped on a familiar figure.
Li Yi's seat was neither high nor low. His status was awkward. Although Wangye addressed him nicely, it was just that. Everyone knew that Wangye of the previous dynasty, who was the current emperor, wanted to show his benevolence and righteousness, so he kept Li Yi's life and title.
Now, he was Wangye. After his descendants inherited the title, his status would be reduced bit by bit. In a few years, he would be completely defeated. He had to know his place in daily life to avoid accidentally angering his superiors and completely killing himself.
Today, he had changed into a black court robe, which made him look steady and dignified, adding a bit of dignity and grace. His every movement showed a faint noble aura. This was a person who was truly born in the royal family.
Because of his status, Li Yi didn't have anyone to greet him. He sat alone and didn't fit in with the noisy banquet. He looked quite miserable. Of course, he didn't care about this at all. However, he, who didn't seem to care about anything, finally couldn't help but look back after he felt that he was being stared at for a long time.
He looked into a pair of clear eyes.
Siyang lightly pursed her lips. The corners of her lips curved slightly. She raised her hand and raised her cup. Her eyes moved as she nodded slightly at him.
Li Yi's painted eyes narrowed and became more serene. He raised his cup and drank the wine in one gulp. Then, he filled his cup and stood up. He spoke loudly to the head of the hall.
"This official also salutes Your Majesty and Her Highness.
”
Xue Pinggui was still somewhat guarded against Li Yi. After all, he was Wangye of the previous dynasty. If he hadn't interfered, after the previous emperor died, there were few children. It was very likely that this person would take the throne. After calling him back to Chang 'an and testing him a few times, he was slightly relieved.
"My dear official, please rise." Xue Pinggui thought of himself as a benevolent emperor. When he treated Li Yi, he appeared very polite and stood up.
Siyang also raised her cup and stood up. "Runan Of Gojoseon, please."
Li Yi's black eyes swept over Siyang's body slightly.
Today, the Empress's makeup was gorgeous. Although it wasn't like before, it was more in line with her identity as the Empress. With the golden wings and phoenix crown on her body, she was graceful and luxurious.
"This official will drink first as a salute." Li Yi raised his cup and drank the wine in it.
Siyang blinked her eyes and her red lips curved slightly.
"Baochuan." After sitting down again, Xue Pinggui held her hand and pointed proudly at the banquet below the stage. "This is my world. Now, you and I sit side by side and enjoy the prosperity of the world."
According to reason, Xue Pinggui's harem descendants should all attend the Banquet of Peace. But now, Xue Pinggui's children were sitting below, and Tuozan was nowhere to be seen. It was said that she was sick.
After the commotion in Yukun Palace last time, she had calmed down.
