After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 192
The maid carefully carried away a basin of bloody water and retreated from the side hall.

At this time, in the palace, a woman dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes was sitting beside the couch, her fingertips slowly gliding across the cheeks of a child who looked only eight or nine years old on the couch.

The child woke up startled and looked at the person in front of him in horror. His eyes that should have been clear were filled with fear of women...

"Emperor... Grandmother..."

Empress Dowager Fan's lips were covered with thick and colorful lip balm, and her fingers in armor lightly pressed on the child's cheek, "Mi'er, what's wrong?"

"Have a nightmare?"

"Talk to the emperor's grandmother."

The seemingly benevolent smile fell into Zhao Mi's eyes at this moment, but it looked like a life-threatening ghost, and even the fingertips that fell on his cheeks were icy cold.

He shrank back in fear, and instinctively shrank his body into a ball.

Seeing Empress Dowager Fan raised her hand, Zhao Mi backed away in horror. This subconscious action showed how afraid she was of Empress Dowager Fan.

"Grandmother, grandson is wrong, grandson will never dare again!"

"Don't hit your grandson, your grandson knows it's wrong..."

Empress Dowager Fan's red lips curled into a sneer, satisfied in her heart, she immediately treated Zhao Mi with affection and affection.

"My dear girl, the imperial grandmother loves you the most. If you always miss your father, imperial mother and concubine and forget about the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother will really feel sorry for you."

While muttering, she pulled back the quilt and fondled Zhao Mi's head affectionately.

Zhao Mi was terrified, but he didn't dare to resist at all.

"Your father is busy, but only your grandmother loves Mi'er the most. Mi'er must remember that only the emperor's grandmother treats you sincerely..."

The words of Queen Mother Fan fell into Zhao Mi's ears who were only eight years old.

But for an eight-year-old child, apart from fear, there is only resentment in his heart.

He hated his mother and concubine. In order to please the emperor's grandmother, he was sent here, where he was humiliated and beaten day and night.

He hated his father and always said that he couldn't help himself and couldn't come to see him, but a few days ago, he registered as a queen.

He hates the queen whom he has never seen even more. She is the one who snatched away the father, and now the father can only see her.

If it wasn't for her, how could the emperor have never visited him for so long.

Although the palace people's discussion was secretive, but with such a big battle, how could anyone who had ears not hear the slightest bit of wind.

The seeds of resentment were planted quietly in Zhao Mi's heart.

The humiliation and beating of Empress Dowager Fan continued, and all the unhappiness suffered by the emperor would be spread on Zhao Mi when she returned to her residence.

When Empress Dowager Fan's confidant, Imperial Physician Liu came to see his wound, Zhao Mi asked for help several times, but in the end, what he suffered was another round of insults and beatings.

It seems that such a day has no end in sight...

It wasn't until Empress Dowager Fan became seriously ill that the emperor took control of all the power in the court and was no longer subject to Empress Dowager Fan, and finally took Zhao Mi back to him.

Canonize the prince.

The first time Zhao Mi saw Sheng Baoling was on the third day when he was brought back by the emperor to teach him.

That day, the spring breeze was warm, and she was dressed in red riding clothes, unwilling to get on the horse.

The emperor bent down, coaxed her to get on the horse, and taught her carefully, just like a loving father.

That was the pampering and care of his father that Zhao Mi had been longing for.

But now, he saw it, but it was in someone else.

That woman who seems to be loved by thousands of people, looks only a few years older than herself.

Jealousy, resentment, all these years of dissatisfaction finally fell on Sheng Baoling.

After a lap around the racecourse, Sheng Baoling got off his mother, and carrying a whip, he walked towards the direction of enjoying the shade.

I saw that the emperor was not there, only the prince was sitting there enjoying the cool, holding a cup of tea in his hand, but didn't drink it, he seemed a little nervous.

Sheng Baoling smiled, summoned people, and served hot sweet tea.

"Although the tea here is not as good as in the palace, you can still taste it, it has a special taste."

As she spoke, she put the cup of hot tea at the prince's hand.

Zhao Mi was slightly startled, and met Sheng Baoling's eyes, those eyes were extremely beautiful, and the eyes there were different from those of other people he had seen.

No guilt, no resentment, no greed, no desires.

For herself, she didn't have any other people's ideas.

She didn't have anything she wanted in herself.

Such a pair of eyes are so beautiful that people envy them, they like them, they like them so much that they want to take them as their own and keep them privately.

Zhao Mi drank that cup of hot tea in a strange way, the sweet taste was not ordinary tea.

He looked at Sheng Baoling in surprise, but saw that Sheng Baoling only smiled slightly.

That was the first time he drank such a sweet tea, and it was also the first time he knew that not all women had ugly faces.

Zhao Mi, who is still young, has a different kind of thoughts in his heart...

The emperor's health deteriorated day by day, and the empress gradually took over to review the memorials.

Most of the courtiers did not agree with this move, but more people praised the queen.

Virtuous and talented.

But these voices fell on Zhao Mi's ears, but they were ironic.

The queen is virtuous and talented, because her father taught her all the talents and energy.

Her talents and learning in governing the government are not born with it.

This increased the resentment in Zhao Mi's heart even more.

Grand Master Lou's surrender, how could he not know that it was because the Lou family had a marriage contract with the Sheng family, and now that Sheng Baoling is in power, he surrendered in such a panic, but he was afraid that the queen would think about what happened back then and retaliate wantonly.

Zhao Mi looked at Sheng Baoling, and followed her almost every day, learning how to deal with trivial matters in court and reviewing memorials.

And these should have been taught to him by his father, or the prince and Taifu, but now, he learned them from a woman.

How ridiculous, how ironic.

But she is really attractive, sometimes she just sits there, watching the memorial, when the wind from outside blows in and blows her clothes, she looks like a fairy in the palace population.

But Zhao Mi hated her very much.

Until her father passed away, the last person she saw was still her.

Seeing her mourning for her father and lying in bed with a serious illness, Zhao Mi felt other emotions besides resentment.

called jealousy.

He wanted this person, he had never had such a desire for something.

She is so good, everyone in and out of the palace praises her.

He wanted Sheng Baoling to love her a little bit like Queen Mother Fan loved him.

That is the first person who cares whether he is drinking cold tea or hot tea, bitter tea or sweet tea.

But Zhao Mi hated her for taking everything that should belong to him, and hated her for always smiling at others.

Hate that she is in the palace, but her heart is outside.

Until she found out about her affair with Pei Ci, the resentment and jealousy completely ignited the fire in her heart...

He wants to keep Sheng Baoling in the palace forever.

In winter, it is snowy, and the blood on the long steps outside the Golden Palace has already been covered by three feet of snow.

Just now, news came from the Hall of Compassion and Ning that the Empress Dowager had passed away.

Zhao Mi sat paralyzed on the golden hall, the madness in his eyes gradually dimmed with the candlelight in the hall.

The spring breeze was warm that year, and now it is snowy, but he began to think about that cup of hot tea.
