The White-haired Queen

The woman in green returned to Wen Lanyue, knelt down and said, "Your servant respectfully invites the Empress Dowager to have her meal first, and allow me to report in detail."

Wen Lanyue sat down at the table. The woman in green stood up and served her a bowl of white porridge and prepared some side dishes. She stood aside and saw that the empress dowager had started to eat, and then began to tell the story.

"My name is Bilian, and I usually wear green clothes. Thank you, Queen Mother, for giving me this name and clothes. I also have a younger sister who wears pink clothes, and her name is Honghe. The Queen Mother and I grew up together, and usually, the Queen Mother is the one who serves us..."

Wen Lanyue nodded, understanding that they were both first-class maids.

Bilian went on to say, "Then there are the four maids Yunqin, Yunqi, Yunshu and Yunhua. They will also enter the room to serve. There are four personal guards, Dongchen, Nanchen, Xichen and Beichen, who are responsible for protecting the queen mother. There are also Yinong, Yilin, Yimu and Yiyu who are responsible for giving advice, etc...."

After hearing this, Wen Lanyue couldn't help but smile. She thought the original owner was quite interesting, and the name he gave was easy to remember and interesting.

The first-class maids are Bilian and Honghe. The second-class maids are Qinqishuhua with a "Yun" before them, the military generals are Dongnanxixi with a "Chen" after them, and the civil officials are Nonglinmuyu with a "Yi" before them. It is really easy to remember and interesting.

Thinking of this, Wen Lanyue couldn't help but look at her body. She did feel a little regretful, otherwise she might be able to get along well with the original owner's sisters.

Seeing the empress dowager smiling, Bilian couldn't help but smile too. It had been a long time since she saw the empress dowager smile, and her tone unconsciously became cheerful. She continued, "The palace where the empress dowager lives is the Shengde Palace named by the late emperor. These people were selected by you, the empress dowager, some days ago, and were named according to their work content..."

Wen Lanyue didn't say much, but simply nodded, motioning Bilian to continue.

"After the death of the previous emperor, he was worried about the young prince and the instability of the court, so he issued an imperial edict to three adults. One is Prince Gu Changfeng, one is Prime Minister Zhang Jinlin, and the other is you, the Queen Mother, who was a female official at the time. The prince and the prime minister each hold half of the tiger talisman, and you, the Queen Mother, hold the jade seal. With the tiger talisman and the imperial edict, you can order General Lin Haoze to mobilize the troops..."

The more Wen Lanyue listened, the more dumbfounded she became. In her previous life, she dealt with data every day, and in this life, she had to play tricks. She couldn't help but shout in her heart: "I'm from the Department of Finance, not politics. I'm only interested in money. In addition, I'm a supporter and practitioner of DINK. In this life, I have to take care of a naughty child. It's so tiring. It's better to just kick my feet..."

I thought the late emperor had arranged a few playmates for me, but I didn't know that it was a "startup" team. I couldn't help but shake my head, speechless.

Bilian saw that the Queen Mother's smile had disappeared and was replaced by a bitter face. She thought that the Queen Mother's headache had come back, so she asked hurriedly, "How do you feel, Queen Mother? The imperial doctors are waiting in Tailai Palace, and Honghe is also there. How about I go and invite them?"

Wen Lanyue waved her hand and said, "No, I'm fine."

Bilian paused for a moment and reminded, "The Queen Mother should call herself 'this palace' or 'Ai Jia'."

Wen Lanyue's eyes froze after hearing this, and she couldn't help shouting in her heart: "I am a fake, I haven't even been married, how can I call myself Aijia? I don't mourn for the late emperor, I mourn for myself! Oh! Why not just give up and run away, but I was born under the red flag, grew up in the spring breeze, received patriotic education since childhood, and deeply understand that there is no home without a country."

"Besides, in my previous life, I was a female general who fought in the war on behalf of my father to defend the country. I dare not do the idea of ​​abandoning my post and running away. However, you can rest for a few days first."

So, Wen Lanyue asked, "Then I... um, how did the scar on my forehead come about?"

Bilian swallowed and said, "Yes...it was the little emperor who asked you to seal the imperial edict, but you refused. The little emperor came up to grab the seal, and you immediately pounced on it, but accidentally bumped into the edge of the stone pillar, and suddenly..." Bilian still felt a little scared when she thought about it, and she paused unconsciously.

Wen Lanyue touched his forehead again and noticed that there was a large piece of gauze on the wound, and it was very close to his temple. This wound was as clever as the fulcrum in the principle of lever that can lift the earth, and it caused the original owner to die.

Wen Lanyue thought of her two lives again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Life is really a matter of time and fate."

Although she sighed, Wen Lanyue also wanted to know why the original owner did not stamp the imperial seal on the little emperor. It was his family's empire that he could rule, so she asked, "Why did I refuse to stamp the imperial seal?"

Bilian said angrily: "Because the little emperor wants to promote his little eunuch..."

When she heard the word eunuch, Wen Lanyue stood up immediately. She remembered the eunuch Wang Zhen who was beside the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in history. He instigated the emperor to lead the army in person, which led to the Battle of Tumu, resulting in the death of 500,000 elite troops of the Ming Dynasty and the prisonerization of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.

The accompanying eunuch Xining saw that Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen had lost power and become a prisoner. Not only did he bully him at ordinary times, but he also offered advice and suggestions to the enemy during the battle between the two armies, making Emperor Yingzong suffer humiliation.

Later, after Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was released and returned to the court, the eunuch Cao Jixiang encouraged him to restore the throne and launched the Coup d'Emancipation, which made Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen become an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust emperor.

The life of an emperor was ruined by the three eunuchs around him.

I remember when I was in high school and taking history classes, there were cases of eunuchs ruling the country in every dynasty. My classmates all hated the eunuchs and generally believed that those who were forced to have unhealthy bodies and inhumane behaviors were more likely to have mental deformities and abnormalities.

Thinking of this, Wen Lanyue made up her mind: "No, these are all bloody lessons from history, and Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is just a typical example among those typical ones."

At this moment, Wen Lanyue's tone unconsciously became anxious, and she asked hurriedly, "Why did you promote that young eunuch? Was the imperial seal finally stamped?"

Bilian said softly, "It hasn't been sealed yet. As for the reason for the promotion, I heard from the palace maids that it seemed that the eunuch Xiao Xizi caught a sparrow for the little emperor."

Wen Lanyue said angrily: "If you can get promoted by catching a little sparrow, then everyone will go to catch sparrows. This is simply nonsense." So she asked anxiously: "Where is the imperial seal now?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was worried, Bilian immediately comforted her and said, "It's in the old place, in your secret compartment. It's safe."

Wen Lanyue thought about it, but couldn't remember where her secret compartment was, so she left it alone for now. As for the imperial court, she would leave them alone for a few days, so that she could take a break and learn more.

But this matter cannot just be let go, after all, the original owner died because of the little emperor. Wen Lanyue then asked: "How old is the little emperor?"

Bilian said, "Ten years old."

Ten years old is the age for preschool education, which means in modern times, the child is just in primary school. Letting a primary school student manage the country is absurd.

Wen Lanyue asked again: "When did the late emperor pass away?"

Bilian thought for a moment and said, "It's been about ten days since the national mourning ended."

Wen Lanyue remembered that history books recorded that the national mourning period was twenty-seven days, so now it was only about forty days.

……

At this time, there were several "bird" calls outside, and Bilian immediately said: "Queen Mother, Dongchen sent out the bird call signal, indicating that the little emperor is coming, and it is not convenient for them to stop him."
