Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 9

Changruo, I thought this matter should be over here, but I didn't expect that after a few days, I received an invitation card from Mrs. Chu Bufan, Mrs. Du, to enter the palace to pay her respects.

Mrs. Du is Chu Bufan's young wife, she is in her [-]s this year, she is the first-rank wife who was personally appointed by the late emperor, and she also got the imperial promise from the late emperor early on: she will not enter the palace to pay her respects during festivals.

Therefore, although many officials and wives came to the palace to pay their respects at the end of the year, Du Shi was not among them.

Chubufan's wife has entered the palace since she was ten years old. This is the second time she has entered the palace in the past ten years.

The first time, of course, was the day when I was made empress by the first emperor.

People who don't usually enter the palace suddenly ask for an order to enter the palace, and there is no need to guess the reason for this.

"Our prime minister, I'm afraid we still haven't given up our plan to prevent Chang Ruo from entering the palace." I looked at the gold-plated invitation to enter the palace in my hand, shook my head, and said to him.

"Does the Queen Mother want to see you?" Qihe asked after hearing what I said.

"Let her come." I said.After all, Mrs. Du is the wife of the prime ministers of the three dynasties, so she still has to give some face.

"promise."

Du Shi entered the palace on the sixteenth day of the year.

It was a sunny day, but it was still very cold.

I was worried that such a cold day would freeze this 60-something first-rank lady, so I ordered Qi He and An Fulai to wait at the palace gate early on.

When Mrs. Du arrived at Changwu Palace, it was not yet Sishi, and she entered the palace with the support of Qihe and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen.

In the morning light, I looked at this old woman with thinning white hair, and suddenly felt a little unworthy of Chu Bufan.

Although Chu Bufan is stubborn and pedantic, he is sincerely for the country. Since he entered the court, he has never done anything to harm the interests of the country or the people.

Officials like Chu Bufan should be respected and used in every possible way.

However, he met Xiandi and Mingqi.

The first emperor was suspicious. Although he knew that Chu Bufan had no evil intentions and he used Chu Bufan a lot, he did not dare to rely on Chu Bufan completely. Instead, he supported Chang Yinghou Meng Qingcheng and my father Qiulu to fight against Chu Bufan. .

Although Mingqi respects Chu Bufan, he doesn't care about making Chu Bufan more than [-] people kneel on the ground in winter.

"The minister's wife has seen the queen mother, the queen mother Jin'an."

Mrs. Du wanted to salute me as soon as she entered the Changwu Hall, but when I saw her gray hair, I quickly refused her salute, but I accepted Mrs. Chen's salute.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Du Shi and Chen Shi got up and sat down on the chairs given to them.

After the two of them sat down, I saw that Mrs. Du was still looking a bit out of energy from the cold, so I ordered Anfu to come and ask someone to heat up the floor heater, and then asked Qihe to bring a hand stove to Mrs. Brew some hot tea, and waited until Du Shi drank the hot tea and he became more energetic before speaking: "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, Du Shi, can your body still bear it?"

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern. Thanks to Empress Dowager's protection, my wife's health can still take it." Du Shi replied.

"That's good." Hearing that, I nodded. "But Du Shi, you are not young after all, it's better to say at other times, it's better to go out less in winter."

"Yes, my wife would like to obey the Queen Mother's orders." Du replied with her head bowed.

"If you feel unwell on weekdays, you can send someone to post a post and ask the imperial doctor to go to the palace for diagnosis and treatment." I said again.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your kindness." Upon hearing my words, Mrs. Du showed a grateful look on her face, although she didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness." After Du's words, Chen also said gratefully.

I looked at Mrs. Du and Mrs. Chen who also showed gratitude on their faces, smiled and did not speak.
