Chapter 491: Palace Fighting Is Better To Rebel (28)(2/2)
"Let her in!"
He Tiantian put away the memorial in her hand and didn't deliberately adjust her appearance. She just sat cross-legged leisurely.
"I wish you peace, the Queen Mother!" Queen Tao saluted respectfully.
"Get up, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite!"
He Tiantian looked at Queen Tao lovingly and her tone was very cordial.
"Speaking of which, you and I are not strangers. A few years ago, when you were just born, I hugged you."
He Tiantian deliberately mentioned the "past", with reminiscence and wistfulness in her words, "At that time, you were a small ball, white and clean, with round eyes, and your little hands and feet were particularly strong!"
"At that time, I just said, you are a good boy, you look lucky!"
Blessing?
Queen Tao, who was sitting on her knees, had a flash of bitterness in her eyes.
How is she lucky?
Yes, she is now the queen, the mother of the Dayuan Dynasty. Her mother is respected in the world and is extremely noble.
However, this is only the surface scenery.
It had been less than a year since she entered the palace, but she felt as if she had been suffering in this palace for a lifetime.
Before entering the palace, Empress Tao knew that there would be no love between her and Emperor Yongcheng.
Empress Tao and the entire Tao family didn't care about this. They felt that it was enough as long as Emperor Yongcheng gave her the honor of being a legitimate wife and allowed her to be a queen worthy of the name.
As for how many women the young emperor has and which concubine he favors, they are all trivial matters.
But when she really entered the palace and became a queen, some things went beyond her expectations.
Emperor Yongcheng did not love her, but he also refused to give her the respect and dignity that his wife deserved.
Not even three months after the wedding, Emperor Yongcheng began to elect the harem.
The fourth concubine quickly made up for it, and the bastard emperor even used his right to be in charge of palace affairs as bait, causing the fourth concubine to fight with the queen.
Queen Tao's face as the head of the harem was completely ruined by Emperor Yongcheng.
Later, Queen Tao was even banned.
Before she left the cabinet, Tao Youwei had such a flamboyant and overbearing temperament.
As a result, she was worn down by the palace all her life.
She had been in solitary confinement for several months. If the Queen Mother had not asked her to come out to host the birthday banquet when her 10,000th birthday was approaching, she, the Queen, would probably have been "grounded".
After walking out of the courtyard where she had been imprisoned for half a year, and seeing the familiar and unfamiliar palaces, Empress Tao felt as if she was in another world.
Her heart seems to be getting old!
"...Don't frown!"
Queen Tao was lost in thought when suddenly a gentle voice sounded in her ears.
She raised her head suddenly and met a pair of concerned eyes.
"How old are you? You're fifteen or sixteen years old. You're as beautiful as a flower. You shouldn't frown like a resentful woman in a palace!"
"I still remember that you liked to wear crimson dresses, ride horses, and play wantonly!"
He Tiantian still said with reminiscence.
But her words made Queen Tao's eyes sore and her tears rolled down.
Woohoo!
She also misses her bright and flamboyant self!
"At that time, you played polo with a group of young men and young ladies, and went on an outing in the lake. It was really a 'horse in bright clothes', so enjoyable!"
"When you enter the palace and get married, although you have to be more restrained, you can't lose your nature!"
"The emperor did do something wrong, but you can't use other people's mistakes to punish yourself!"
"Youwei, your father is the founding father of the country. During the war, he also served under my command."
"After all, we can be considered family friends. Now, you and I have become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. We have so many feelings for each other. I really don't want to see you become like this!"
"Cheer up and be a proud and confident little lady like in the past, and don't let others laugh at you!"
He Tiantian's eyes were full of encouragement.
Queen Tao felt the kindness and listened to her words.
Yes, the emperor is a bastard, but she, Tao Youwei, is a noble person.
Why does she feel sorry for herself and others because of such a bad guy?
She doesn't want to be a resentful wife in the palace.
And what if Zheng's humble maid became a concubine? What if she had the emperor's favor?
A bitch is a bitch!
No matter how much you lift me up, you can't wash away the lowliness all over you.
In the past, Empress Dowager He never expressed her stance. Now, Empress Dowager He is reminiscing with her about the past and has a relationship with her. Empress Tao is just coquettish and willful, she is not stupid!
Her eyes flickered, no matter what the Empress Dowager He had planned, but in this deep palace, the Empress Dowager He was her "backer", she was not even afraid of Emperor Yongcheng!
Straightening her back, Queen Tao slowly raised her head, becoming the eldest lady of the Tao family once again with her head held high!
After chatting with He Tiantian for a few words, Queen Tao said goodbye and left.
However, when she stepped out of the side hall, she happened to meet Wang Shijiu, who was holding a stack of documents.
"My lord, pay homage to the Queen!"
Although Wang Shijiu was holding something and it was difficult to move, she still saluted gracefully.
"..." Seeing Wang Shijiu in official uniform, Queen Tao was in a trance for a moment.
This is the nineteenth mother of the Wang family, the original candidate for queen.
However, the Wang family saw through Emperor Yongcheng's true face of being heartless and heartless, and did not want to send Wang Shijiu to suffer.
It was Tao Youwei's turn to take the position of Queen of Dayuan.
In the past, Queen Tao was a bit repulsive and even hated Wang Shijiu. She always felt that she was offended by picking up unwanted things.
