"Empress, the Shi family is gone."

Banhua paused while tracing her eyebrows. She put down her eyebrows and sighed, "How long has it been since?" She was extremely disgusted with Shi, because this woman didn't care about anything for the sake of power and even wanted her man. life. But she also felt that this woman was a bit pitiful. Her temperament had been changed since she was a child, and she didn't know whether she was living for herself or for the vanity cultivated by her parents.

She knew that Shi Shi would not survive. Even if she asked Shi Jin to take Shi Shi back, Shi Shi would only die.

If she doesn't die, she will always be a thorn in the royal family's heart. But even if she lives, she can only live a lonely life, and may even affect Shi Jin's career. Shi Jin is the only one left in the Shi family. A woman like her who values ​​power and status is reluctant to let Shi Jin be implicated.

"After the third watch last night, he took medicine and died." Ruyi took the comb and **** Banhua's hair. "It is said that when he was found this morning, he had already lost his breath."

"I know." Banhua opened the lipstick box, put some lipstick on his fingertips, then touched it on his lips, closed his eyes, "Let them prepare their horses, I want to leave the palace.

The royal family gave Shi Jin a grace. Even if this grace resulted in suicide, Shi Jin would only be grateful.

Ban Hua stood up in front of the bronze mirror, changed into her riding clothes with the palace maid waiting on her, looked at this gorgeous and spacious room, took a deep breath: "Let's go."

Jingting Palace.

Ban Heng had just finished practicing a set of boxing and kicking skills. He was lying on the table and groaning as he asked the boy to massage his shoulders. When he heard a servant saying that Zhou Changxiao, the young master of Shangshu Ling's family, was here, he said: " Just let him come in directly."

Zhou Changxiao walked in and saw Ban Heng sweating and leaning on the table drinking tea. He walked to him and sat down: "What's been going on with you in the past few days? You haven't gone out to play with us anymore. Could it be that you really want to study and make progress?" ?" He originally wanted to ask the Queen if she was injured, but seeing Ban Heng's relaxed look, he was sure that the Queen was not injured.

Otherwise, with Ban Heng's character, he would have been jumping up and down, dragging them together to find a way to catch the murderer.

"What are you going to do?" Ban Heng said with a sad face, "You don't understand my suffering."

"You are already a country uncle, why do you have to suffer?" Zhou Changxiao rolled his eyes, "This is just holding a golden doll and saying that you are poor, so that others can hear it and have to beat you up."

"You thought..."

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

Hearing this, Ban Heng jumped up from the stool, turned around and dragged a middle-aged man and said: "Master Jiang, I have really practiced hard these days. When my sister comes, you have to tell the truth. I'll sue you, or my sister will beat me."

"Please rest assured, Prince, I will tell you the truth."

Zhou Changxiao was even more shocked than Ban Heng. The Queen... left the palace?

Yesterday, the entire capital was turned upside down by His Majesty, and the whole city began to lift martial law. How could the Emperor let the Queen come out? Could it be that the murderer has been caught?

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Zhou Changxiao bowed politely when he saw Banhua coming in.

"Chang Xiao seems to have gained some weight these days?" Banhua looked at him carefully and sat on a stool. Her beautiful eyes swept over Ban Heng, who smiled and walked towards her, "Sister , he eats and drinks all day long, how can he not get fat?"

Ban Hua stretched out her hand to touch Ban Heng's arm and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you have indeed practiced a few punches and kicks in the past few days." She stood up and clasped her fists at the middle-aged man, "Master Jiang, thank you for your hard work."

"I'm sorry for you." Master Jiang smiled and gave Banhua a big gift, then turned around and left.

Zhou Changxiao and Banhua are familiar with each other, but in the past, Banhua was just an aristocratic woman of noble birth, and she was the more prestigious one in their dandy group. When they talked to her, they didn't have much scruples. Now the other party After becoming a queen, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't stand or sit for a while. Banhua teased him about being fat, and he responded with a smile, secretly regretting coming to Ban's house today to join in the fun.

"Chang Xiao, what are you still standing for?" Banhua couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhou Changxiao's uncomfortable look, "You don't have to pretend in front of me. I don't know what you look like." Know?"

"Hey," Zhou Changxiao sat down next to Ban Heng, "yesterday we heard that the empress was assassinated, and we didn't dare to discuss it casually. It's even more inconvenient to enter the palace, so I came today just to ask Ah Heng, you Are there any injuries?"

After all, they are friends who have tricked people together and listened to Qu'er together. Although the other party is now prosperous, they are still a little worried.

"Don't worry, if something happens to me, I won't be able to leave the palace right now," Banhua took a sip of tea, "I just feel a little bored in the palace, so I want to go out for a walk."

Zhou Changxiao suddenly showed a bright smile: "My queen, you are a phoenix in destiny. With the blessing of God, you will be lucky in every adversity and good things will continue."

"We haven't seen each other for a while, but we still see each other," Banhua put down the tea cup, "Why are my father and mother not in the house?"

"They went to the temple to pray early this morning," Ban Heng thought for a while, "I'm afraid they won't come back until evening."

Something happened to her yesterday. Today, her father and mother went to the Taoist temple to pray. It goes without saying who they were praying for. She put down the tea cup with some guilt, "I made the second elder worry."

"How can I blame you? It's not good that they are all assassins," Ban Heng slammed the table and cursed angrily, "Do you have enough personal guards? If not, please transfer more personal guards from our mansion."

Zhou Changxiao twitched the corner of his mouth and brought the personal guards he had trained into the palace. Did he think that His Majesty was too good to the Ban family and was causing trouble for himself? In fact, he was very surprised when he heard that His Majesty took the initiative to summon the Queen's personal guards into the palace to protect the Queen. What kind of place is the harem? It is the emperor's palace, so why allow outsiders to bring military generals in? Aren't you afraid of causing palace upheaval?

You must know that Emperor Yunqing died at the hands of his own son. Having learned from the past, His Majesty still treated the empress so favorably. The empress' method of training men is really unique. No wonder the sisters in his family love to ask him about the Queen's hobbies and interests, and want to learn from her how to control her husband.

How many people said that His Majesty asked to marry the Queen out of helplessness?

In the end, reality gave me a heavy slap. After the two got married, two days later it was reported that Marquis Cheng'an had bought something for Princess Fule, and Marquis Cheng'an accompanied Princess Fule to stay at her parents' house. Especially when the Ban family was ransacked, Marquis Cheng'an was not afraid of being implicated. He raised Ban's family aside and paid more attention to Princess Fule, which was the envy of countless women in the capital.

He is a man himself. If he were asked to treat a woman like this, he probably wouldn't be able to do it, nor would he be willing to do it.

"Since your parents are not at home, you two get on the horse and accompany me for a walk outside." Banhua wiped the sweat from Ban Heng's forehead with a handkerchief, "Go and change clothes."

"Okay."

Ban Hengle ran wildly to the house.

After Ban Heng left, Zhou Changxiao kept his head down, not daring to look at Ban Hua's face.

"Is Wenbi okay?" Banhua asked about Zhou Changxiao's sister Zhou Wenbi. She had a good relationship with Zhou Wenbi, so she wanted to ask a few more questions.

"My sister-in-law is doing well. She got engaged a few days ago. The wedding is scheduled for March next year. When the time comes, please..." Zhou Changxiao wanted to invite Banhua to a wedding banquet, but remembered that as Banhua, , it was no longer appropriate to attend his sister's wedding banquet, so he swallowed the words that followed, "When the time comes, I would like to ask the empress to reward me with some good things to add makeup to my sister-in-law, so that she can have more face in her husband's family. ."

"Don't worry, good things come from your sister," Banhua smiled. It seems that this turmoil has really changed these dudes a lot. In the past, with Zhou Changxiao's character, he would just say what he wanted to say, but unlike now, he still knows how to swallow inappropriate words.

People always have to grow up, even a dandy has to grow from a frivolous dandy into a slightly more calm dandy.

After a while, Ban Heng ran out: "Sister, I've changed it."

Banhua pressed a wrinkle on his clothes for him and nodded with a smile.

In the tea house and wine shop, the storyteller talks about the grievances, hatreds, love, hate and separation of heroes and beauties. Banhua was sitting at the table, listening to the storyteller describe her beauty in an impassioned tone, and how powerful she was, killing ten enemies with one sword, and couldn't help laughing while holding the tea cup.

Ban Heng asked her in a low voice: "Sister, I can kill ten enemies with one sword. How long does this sword need to be?"

"Thirty or forty feet?" Banhua couldn't help laughing, "I can't carry such a long sword."

"These storytellers love to exaggerate," Zhou Changxiao snorted, "The only real thing is to describe your beauty and your prestige in the military."

Ban Heng glanced at Zhou Changxiao with disdain. His ability to flatter was not even half as good as his, and he had the nerve to show off in front of him.

"What you say, old man, makes no sense. The Queen and His Majesty are married, so it is right for her to accompany him on the battlefield," a man who looked a little shabby said, "What a heroine, what a wise and mighty warrior, she If he was really that powerful, would he have been abandoned by so many men back then?"

This man took a few sips of wine and became bolder. He saw that after he spoke out, no one else dared to speak anymore, so he seemed even more proud, "If you ask me, this is all because our Majesty is a kind-hearted person. , gave her a woman the opportunity to go to war, and also made her the queen of the palace. If I marry a woman whose engagement has been broken off several times, I will never let her be the queen."

"So people like you can only drink wine on credit with us," the waiter taunted sarcastically. "You can't even get a wife, and you have the nerve to make irresponsible remarks to our queen, so why not use your two Pee a little and take a picture of Inchnail, who are you?"

As soon as the waiter said this, everyone in the lobby laughed. Some laughed at him for being poor, and some laughed at him for not being able to marry a wife. But no one said there was anything wrong with the Queen's marriage being annulled several times.

"It doesn't matter how many times our queen has broken off the engagement, it shows that none of these men are worthy of her." A woman glanced at the man, "A person like you is worthy of talking about my queen, bah."

I don’t know when a trend of imitating the Queen Empress arose in the capital. The daughter’s family is proud of being able to ride a horse and shoot arrows. Even if they don’t perform poems and songs, they can still say a word. Even if their Queen Empress is not good at poetry Painting can also command the crowd and amaze the world.

Ban Heng, who was just halfway through his anger, saw that the man in the lobby who had spoken lies was surrounded by the anger of the crowd. His anger that had just risen quietly subsided, and he felt dumbfounded for a moment.

He turned to Banhua and whispered: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be so attractive now."

In fact, there are so many daughter-in-law families in the capital. Not all of them can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are highly praised nowadays. Those who don’t know how to do it have to bite the bullet and hold on. Now that a queen who is not so mainstream has finally appeared, they I took the opportunity to vent my emotions.

It is not her that they are crowding around, but themselves.

Banhua smiled and said, "Let's go, it won't be interesting to listen any more."

As soon as she stood up, a man in blue robe walked in. Banhua saw him and sat back down.

"The Queen's engagement was annulled not because she was not good, but because she was so good that she made men feel ashamed and dare not be with her." Xie Qilin heard others gossiping about Banhua outside, so he walked in , "Your Majesty and the Queen are a perfect match, a dragon and a phoenix, and any other man in the world who is with the Queen will humiliate her."

The man was ridiculed by a group of people because he was unhappy. Now when he saw a pretty boy coming to speak, he retorted sarcastically: "Who are you? You said that those fiancés only break off the engagement when they are not worthy of the queen. You are not the one." How do you know them?"

"I am not talented. I am indeed the Queen's former fiancé," Xie Qilin said lightly. "The Queen is as beautiful as a fairy and of noble birth. I deliberately broke off the engagement because of my low self-esteem. A filthy villain like you has no qualifications. Talking about the Queen, but if I don’t make it clear today, people like you will come to discuss the Queen in the future, and there is no need to tarnish the Queen’s good name.”

"From the beginning to the end, I am the one who is not worthy of my queen."

No one expected that the person involved would overhear the gossip behind their backs. They had heard that the Empress did have a fiancé named Xie, but they didn't know why the engagement was broken off later. Some people said that Mr. Xie disliked Princess Fule for not being elegant enough, so he eloped with someone else. It is also said that the Ban family did not think that the Xie family was not prominent enough, so they disliked them everywhere.

Now it seems that the queen was obviously too nice and made her fiancé feel that he was not worthy of her, so she found a reason to break off the engagement to save their weak face.

When people achieve success, everything in your past will be beautified by them and become a touching or inspirational story. In essence, this is the psychology of people worshiping the strong.

Everyone present took the initiative to imagine the many beautiful pictures of the Queen, and finally concluded that the Queen’s destiny is too good, and most men are not worthy of her. Only His Majesty, who is wise, powerful, benevolent and virtuous, can be born with the Queen. If the zodiac signs match each other, they will become an unparalleled couple in the world.

Banhua listened to the discussion below with an expressionless face.

"He would actually stand up and admit such a shameful thing," Ban Heng sneered, "I thought his conscience was already bad to the core."

Zhou Changxiao coughed dryly: "Ah Heng, a new restaurant has recently opened, let's go try it."

He didn't dare to listen to the Queen's past grievances and resentments. He always felt that it was unsafe to hear too much.

Ban Hua looked at him with a smile and nodded: "Let's go."

As soon as she stood up, the men and women in the private room upstairs immediately stood up, because they were not guests, but Banhua's guards.

After lunch, Banhua was ready to return to the palace.

Ban Heng saw them off all the way until they reached the Suzaku Gate before stopping.

"Sister," Ban Heng pushed a bundle to Banhua and whispered, "I found this specially for you. Don't let His Majesty find out."

Seeing the mysterious look on his face, Banhua took it with a smile: "There are no palace contrabands in this, right?"

"You are my sister, will I cheat you?" Ban Heng sighed, "You have a straightforward temper and don't like to use your brain. The maids around you are all carefully selected by your mother. I still reluctantly let go. You must be convinced. Our family is living a good life now. Don’t ask for benefits for the family. Anyway, I am not an official. It’s fine now. There are no concubines in the drama who seek benefits for their parents’ families. A few of them ended well, so don’t imitate them for fun."

"What have you been watching at home all day?" Banhua reached out and tapped Ban Heng's forehead, "If you are stupid, don't worry about this. I know it well, sister."

"If you really know what's going on, I'll be relieved," Ban Heng sighed, "I still say the same thing, don't wrong yourself, and don't worry about us. There are not many people who can make our family suffer. ”

Seeing Ban Heng's proud look, Ban Hua couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I understand."

"It's good to know," Ban Heng turned around, "Okay, you go in, it's time for me to go back."

Ban Hua nodded. She turned her horse's head and rode slowly into the palace. When she turned around, she saw Ban Heng still outside the Suzaku Gate, craning his neck to look at her. She chuckled lightly and waved to Ban Heng, who then rode away slowly.

Back at Dayue Palace, Rong Xia was discussing political affairs with ministers in the front hall. She did not bother them, but opened the package Ban Heng gave her. There was a book box in the package, which was quite heavy.

Is it a new storybook? There are people in the palace who compile storybooks specifically for her. Each of these people are masters in compiling stories, so why go outside the palace to buy books?

The lid of the box opened and Banhua took out a thick stack of books inside.

"Notes on the Daily Life of Queen Chunming"?

"Women of the Sima Family"?

The book "The Degree of a Gentleman" has a decent title. When I flipped through it, I found that it was about men's duplicitous behavior.

The book "War in the Harem" is about how the women in the harem seduced the emperor, and how those cruel women plotted against the queen.

After flipping through all the books, Banhua stroked the covers and couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty," Mother Chang whispered, "there are some books here, and the records may be facts. Although the prince is too worried, these books are not all useless."

Banhua put the book back into the box and shook his head with a smile. He didn't say anything more and just asked Ruyi to pick up the book.

Shi Suyue's suicide did not cause much of a sensation in the capital. Her jade plaque was removed, and even the regulations for her burial only used the rank of a rural monarch. This was the result of Banhua's decree, otherwise she could only be buried according to the standards of an ordinary woman.

Although no one in the palace announced it, as some people in the previous dynasty were liquidated, Shi was abandoned by the prince, and finally committed suicide. Anyone with a little brain can guess that Shi might be involved in the assassination of the queen. The case is related.

Soon after Shi's burial, Prince He and his family went to guard the tombs of successive emperors in Daye.

The previous dynasty finally came to a clean end.

In the villa in the capital, Princess Anle listened to the report from her servants. After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said: "Rong Xia has driven away all of us who were from the previous dynasty. Don't mention Shi's affairs to the Queen Mother." , I'm worried that her old man won't be able to bear it."

"What happened?" Queen Mother Fuping walked in. Seeing Princess Anle's face pale, she calmed down and said, "Just tell me, I can bear it."

"Mother," Princess Anle did not expect that Queen Mother Fuping would hear what she said. Her expression changed slightly, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should speak. ”

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I can even bear the change of dynasty, so there's nothing else I can't stand." Queen Mother Fuping walked to the table and sat down, her expression resolute and calm.

"Mother, Shi is gone."

Empress Dowager Fuping's eyebrows moved: "She values ​​power too much. If she can't overcome this hurdle, she will die sooner or later." She sighed, "Your eldest brother sent someone to tell him that he was going to list the Jiang family. The ancestors are guarding the tomb. In fact, this is good, at least it will not arouse the suspicion of the new emperor and can save one life."

"Mother, Rong Xia...is she the blood of the father?" Princess Anle remembered that Banhua once said that Rong Xia was not the illegitimate son of the father, but Banhua could even give Rong Xia the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies, so how could she dare? Do you believe Banhua?

She had maintained a sisterly relationship with Banhua for so many years, but in the end Banhua rebelled with Rong Xia and destroyed the Jiang family's centuries-old foundation. Now she doesn't know whether she hates Banhua more or loves her more.

"Where did you hear these nonsense?" Empress Dowager Fuping's expression changed greatly, "Anle, your father and I have doted on you for so many years, have we spoiled your brain?"

Princess Anle did not expect that Queen Mother Fuping would be so angry. She bit her lip and said with a pale face, "Mother, just tell me, at least let me understand."

"So what if you understand, so what if you don't understand?" Empress Dowager Fuping twitched her lips and smiled, but there was no smile in her smile. "If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Don't you even know?" Princess Anle looked at Queen Mother Fuping suspiciously. Did the Queen Mother not know, or did she not want to tell her?

Back in her yard, Princess Anle thought for a long time, called a palace maid, and handed her her badge.

"You send someone to the palace and say that I want to see His Majesty."

"Your Majesty?" The maid thought she heard wrongly and asked again, "Is it your Majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Anle lowered her eyelids and looked at the 80% new dressing table, her eyes dimming little by little.

In Dayue Palace, Banhua was lying on the bed, smiling as she watched Rong Xia change into her dragon robe, get on the chariot, and lay on the bed for another half an hour before getting up for breakfast. After finishing the meal, she suddenly remembered the Yang family that Mrs. Zhao had mentioned to her, and said to Ruyi, "Didn't I say that Yang family wanted to see me a few days ago? I think today is the right day to announce her entry into the palace. ”

"Is it the Yang who remarried?" Ruyi asked in a low voice.

"Who else if not her?" Banhua sneered, "I would like to know what she wants to do when she asks to see me."

"It's nothing more than a ploy to establish friendship, or to plead guilty to your majesty and empress not to pursue the past matters," Ruyi smiled, "Is it possible that there are other reasons?"

"You're right," Ban Hua smiled, "I can't control it with these means."

After Rong Xia went to court, he was about to go to the palace when Wang De said in his ear: "Your Majesty, Princess Anle from the previous court wants to see you."

"Princess Anle?" Rong Xia thought for a while, "The princess who has some friendship with Huahua."

"Exactly."

"Since you have some friendship with Huahua, why do you come to see me?"

"I don't know, but Princess Anle said that she has something important to report to Your Majesty."

Rong Xia thought for a moment: "Xuan."

"Also, go and ask the Queen to sit behind the screen for a while. For Huahua's sake, I can see her, but Huahua has to listen to what she has to say."

Wang De's eyelids moved slightly and he bowed: "I understand, slave."
