Empress Xiaozhao

Hence, the Queen asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to organize these items and treat them as a reward. As long as it was an Emperor's item, there was nothing bad about it.

Thus, after the rewards were given out, the family members of the Minister would only have the part of showing gratitude.

"Porcelain is given to the official grade, silk is given to the upper grade, and tea is given to the lower grade. As for the imperial clansmen, I will make the arrangements when the time comes. "

The empress had no choice but to explain the situation to the king. Giving it to the empress was also a time to win over the hearts of the people. The emperor needed the concentration of imperial power, and the potential of a third or fourth tier official was the greatest. Porcelain was a decoration, but it was also something that could easily show the majesty of the Emperor.

As for the empress dowager, since they were already married to the emperor, they were born Ai Xinjueluo's family, and their death was none other than Ai Xinjueluo's family's ghost. As a member of the Ai Xinjueluo Family, naturally, he should think for the sake of the Ai Xinjueluo Family. Hence, the empress stopped circling around. Back then, when they were counting up Ministry of Internal Affairs, four wives, Imperial Concubine, and Imperial Concubine participated in all of them. Therefore, everyone was clear about what the situation was in the treasury.

Naturally, this matter had already been made clear, and the reward from the later concubine only meant something. After all, it was already benevolent of them not to let the imperial concubines take anything out of their pockets. If the empress was like this, naturally, she would be deeply grateful to the empress.

However, there were exceptions, such as the Queen's family, the Queen herself was prepared according to the usual practice. However, all these items belonged to the empress's personal storage. Even the emperor himself wouldn't be able to tell. After all, the empress was trying to save money for the imperial family, and the empress had her own plans. The empress sent word to her family.

"Right now, the imperial court is not the day for the Neuchu's house to stand out. We only need to listen to His Majesty's orders." Who said that being neutral wasn't good? Although the fence-sitters weren't favored by others, they were able to protect themselves in the end.

The empress and imperial concubine had already arrived. If they were not cautious and prudent at this time, they would truly become the target of public criticism. It was already a common occurrence for the empress to pass down an order to her family. The empress was worried that her family would turn against the emperor if something went wrong.

The empress knew her brother too well. As her brother, he was undoubtedly the elder brother who treated his sister extremely well. However, the Empress's brother was not a qualified subject. First of all, in terms of hiding one's emotions, they were unqualified people.

Fa Ka had always carried a temperament unique to Manchu, which was why the empress wasn't at ease with her elder brother at all. Other than Fa Ka, the Queen was not worried about Second Brother Yan Zhu and Third Brother Fu Bao. As for Fourth Brother Eide and Fifth Brother A Linga, they were still too young, so there was no need for them to worry.

Thus, the words that the Queen had said were not so much to Neifu Lu, but to her elder brother.

The empress had mentioned her older brother, so the other imperial concubines weren't stupid either. At this time of the previous dynasty, it would not be good for anyone to try and force their way in. Therefore, the later wives would have to deliver the news to their parents.

All of them were prosperous while all of them were injured. This was the reason why the Empress in the imperial harem was so nervous about her mother's family. If the late imperial concubine's parents were displeased or angered by the emperor, then the late imperial concubine wouldn't be far from losing her favour. And if the Empress had caused the Emperor to grow tired of some matter, then the imperial father's family would no longer have a place in the imperial court.

The empress had worked hard over the 21 years of rewards, and in the blink of an eye, she was back in her old age.

The palace was decorated with lanterns and decorations. The emperors of the various palaces had to feel joyous, but the emperor had lost a lot of weight due to the empress dowager's illness.

There was still some good news spreading out along with the empress dowager's illness. Imperial Concubine was diagnosed as pregnant in November, and the Imperial Consort Yi had good news in December. This series of concubines being pregnant was an excellent news to the Emperor, who did not have many sons.

Originally, in October, the empress dowager's health wasn't very good, and news of her old illness had already spread throughout the Forbidden City. In the coming days, the imperial concubine was pregnant, which made the empress dowager and the empress dowager happy for quite a few days. The empress dowager was in a good mood, so her illness naturally eased a little, but it was the end of time. The empress dowager's illness had been recurring over the years.

Other than the President of the Imperial Hospital, who specially treated the Empress Dowager, Nan Huairen was also working in the Qintian prison. Nan Huairen was also a preacher like Tang Ruowang, they were also people who worshipped Jesus. During the year of Emperor Shun Zhi, when the empress dowager was still the empress dowager, her serious illness was cured by the western medicine that Tang Ruowang had given to the empress dowager.

Thus, when Tang Ruowang died five years ago, Nan Huairen succeeded him. If the empress dowager had an illness that the imperial physician couldn't cure, she would let Nan Huairen treat it. However, this was not all effective for the sake of the health of the empress dowager. The emperor had once ordered Nan Huairen and the imperial physicians of the imperial hospitals to study the《 Compendium of Materia Medica》.

Nan Huairen and the imperial physicians of the imperial hospitals spent two years to integrate all of Nan Huairen's knowledge of western medicine with traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone hoped that the combination of Nan Huairen's technique would be able to cure the Empress Dowager's illness. On the other hand, the empress dowager was more open-minded to him than the emperor.

"Emperor, This Dowager knows of her own body. The emperor was also aware of his filial piety, but the emperor was the Son of Heaven, the lord of this world. If something were to happen to This Dowager's dragon body, how will This Dowager face the ancestors underground. "

The empress dowager didn't wish for the emperor to stand guard in front of her at all. This was unnecessary for the empress dowager. When a person gets old, it's a matter of life and death. The Emperor had to do too many things in order to review Zhou Le, especially at this critical time when he was fighting against the glume. The empress dowager was an unyielding woman of the three dynasties. She had always valued the imperial government.

Since the emperor was filial, using filial piety to rule over a country was naturally extremely good. After all, the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty had always valued these things. After all, the majority of the Han people were Han people, and if the Han people did not have a sense of belonging, then the Ai Xinjueluo family's world would not last for long.

The royal family attached great importance to their children. Only by having many more sons could one obtain blessings. Regardless of whether it was the Chinese or the Manchu people, they all cared deeply about them. When the empress dowager was sick, she was always so concerned about the empress dowager's heirs. Naturally, the empress had to set an example to express her and the empress dowager's concern. Not to mention, those who had descendants of dragons weren't just concubines and concubines.

If the imperial concubine Tonja's was pregnant, that would be even more extraordinary. It had to be known that Kang Xi had already been conferred the title of imperial concubine for sixteen years. Kang Xi had been married for twenty-one years, which was about ten years. If Tong Yurao was not pregnant, the Tong Family would probably be worried.

Today, Tong Family was not the only family that had a daughter. Back then, the eldest concubine had given birth to a daughter, but because of her age, she had missed the chance to enter the palace. However, a few years ago, Tong Yurao had also added a new slot to the main house. The second house had always been pressing down on the main house because Tong Yurao was the imperial concubine. Now, the good days of the second house monopolizing Tong Family were also coming to an end.

However, after Tong Yurao became pregnant, the situation changed. Originally, the Tong Family had been in chaos since the time of Emperor Taizu. But because the Tong Family was still a large clan of the Liaodong, they still valued their relatives. As a result, the imperial court now had the term "Tong and half-court". However, when it came to the period between the Emperor Taizong and the late emperor, things were different.

In the Emperor Taizong's imperial harem, three of the Fu Jin from the Five Palaces were named Borjin Te, and all three were noble women from the Horqin. On the other hand, none of the women in Tong Family entered the palace, at this time, the reason why the Tong Family had such power was because of the loyalty and courage of the previous dynasty.

And after much difficulty, it had finally reached the time of the The late emperor, and the Tong Family sent Tong Youzheng's daughter into the harem, giving birth to the third prince, Xuan Ye. The Tong Family could finally rise to prominence once more, but who would have thought that the empress dowager would actually guard against the Tong Family. They would rather ally with Suo Ni than accept the Queen of Tong Family, even though the Tong Family was not considered to be the flag of the eight flags.

But as the parent family of the Queen Kung Hsiao, the Tong Family also entered the Three Flags.

However, in the end, the empress dowager still loathed the idea of the Tong Family growing up by betrothing the daughters of the Tong Family to the other princes or relatives, or to the princes with other surnames. It was only until Tong Yurao entered the palace that she gave the Tong Family face. And the reason was only because the emperor had already grasped the power of the royal family, so he knew all about the art of emperors.

Since the emperor had already become a qualified emperor, he would naturally not allow the Tong Family to grow up just because the Tong Family was his own mother.

As for the empress, she didn't have any emotional fluctuations when the emperor pregnant the imperial concubine and Imperial Consort Yi. The empress had really done what a queen should do, taking care of the concubine and maintaining the peace of the harem. Although the empress dowager's body was still weak, she would frequently go to the Cining Palace and Tzu An Palace to accompany the empress dowager.

But at least the efforts that Nan Huairen and the imperial physicians had put in were not in vain. It had only been two months, but the empress dowager was already feeling better. By the end of the year, the empress dowager would be able to attend and attend the palace banquet.

"I wonder if Tonja's and Kuroluo's are alright now." As usual, the empress paid her respects to the empress dowager when she was in the Cining Palace. The empress dowager had always paid attention to the empress dowager, so she would naturally not forget to inquire the empress.

"Chenqie told the imperial physician to give the imperial concubines and Imperial Consort Yi their safe meridians every three days. The imperial physician said that the younger sisters were all in excellent health." The empress was indeed very concerned about these two emperors. After all, if the Emperor had the intention to impregnate the imperial concubine, then her sister's Wen Fei would have a chance too.

"As for my two younger sisters, chenqie doesn't dare to relax at all. She's just afraid that if she doesn't pay any attention to them, she'll run into them. At that time, it will truly be my, your concubines', crimes. "

The empress needed to have the empress dowager stand by her side, whether it was because of what she said or some other reason. Even the empress had to expel him. After all, no one knew how many ruthless people there were in the harem. Anyone involved in the conspiracy against the emperor's heir would be sentenced to death. The empress might be able to protect herself, but with the empress dowager in charge, it was naturally what the empress wished for.
