Chapter 358: The Queen's throne has been vacant for 7 years
"This is even less than what the cat eats," Empress Xu joked, and there is some truth in her statement.
"Empress Xu, what you said is just a small cat. How much does it eat? I eat more than the small cat," Li Wu couldn't help laughing when she heard Empress Xu using the cat as a metaphor to compare with her.
It's just that the weather is a little hot, so I haven't had much appetite these days.
"Yes, yes, yes, the little fairy is a little bit more powerful than the cat slave," Empress Xu said with a smile, and Empress Changsun and Empress Ma could not help laughing as well.
The people in front of the sky curtain also laughed.
"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. I can't beat you if we talk about this. Let's continue talking about you, Queen Xu."
The three queens all looked at Li Wu with kindness, and Li Wu shrank back at the kind looks in their eyes.
"Empress Xu, on your deathbed, you did not forget to tell Zhu Di to put the country first, saying that your life and death were determined by fate, and asked Zhu Di not to be too sad.
Empress Xu, your greatest regret before your death was that you did not return to Peking, the place where you had lived for more than 20 years.
Fortunately, when Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping, he brought you back with him, but it's a pity that you couldn't see it," Li Wu felt a little sorry for Empress Xu.
For Empress Xu, Beiping was her great obsession and she paid a lot there.
Empress Xu also sighed slightly. This was true.
Empress Ma patted Empress Xu's hand to comfort her.
Empress Xu shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She could figure all this out, but she just couldn't bear to let go.
You can also look away.
"Zhu Di was extremely saddened by the passing of Empress Xu, and later decided not to appoint another empress. Thus, the empress position remained vacant for seventeen years during the Yongle reign.
Zhu Di also wore white plain clothes for Empress Xu for a year, stopped attending court for a year, and only held court meetings at places like Xijiaomen on daily basis.
The Crown Prince and other princes also mourned for you, Empress Xu, for three years.
All the ministers also mourned for twenty-seven days and wore white clothes for one year.
Other countries also came to pay tribute to your passing, Empress Xu.
For example, the King of Brunei and his concubines from the Kingdom of Korea came here to present gold thread writings.
The King of Siam sent an envoy to pay tribute.
It was not until two years after Empress Xu's death that Zhu Di conferred titles on the concubines in the harem.
It was not until the seventh year of Yongle that Zhu Di decided to move the capital to Beiping.
There were all kinds of things going on with selecting a tomb, building the tomb, etc., which resulted in your coffin, Empress Xu, being kept in the Yingtianfu Palace for six years without being buried.
Maybe Zhu Di also knows that you want to go back to Beiping," Li Wu couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, the relationship between the two is quite good.
It's just that Empress Xu died too early, which is such a pity.
These three were all virtuous queens, but they all died young, which is truly a pity.
Empress Xu just smiled, with some sadness in her eyes.
Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty was so sad in front of the sky curtain, especially the old Emperor Chengzu, his eyes were full of tears.
He missed the queen so much. They had been through so many ups and downs together, so why did the queen leave so early?
She has not even seen the prosperous Yongle era.
"Until the 11th year of Yongle, when the underground mausoleum of Changling was completed, Zhu Di ordered his second son Zhu Gaoxu to escort your coffin from Yingtianfu to Beiping for burial.
In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di passed away and was buried with you, the Queen, in Changling.
"I have only talked about your deeds, Empress Xu, but actually, there is still a lot that I have not finished. You have done a lot of things, and Zhu Di has gained a lot of power by having you," Li Wu said with a smile.
Empress Xu also chuckled.
"Finally, everything has been said. Several queens are virtuous queens whose names will go down in history. They are the role models for other queens to learn from. Queens, is there any place you want to go?" Li Wu asked. The health of these three queens was not very good, so they naturally could not go to those stimulating places.
So for a moment, Li Wu really didn't know where to go.
She is not a person who likes to go out. If she hadn't got this system, she might hardly go out at all. She would stay in this mountain every day and go out hunting occasionally.
The three queens looked at each other. They didn't know where to go yet, and they didn't know much about the world of fairies.
The barrage of comments contained various suggestions for discussion, among which the library was one of the places our ancestors most wanted to visit.
Because there are so many books, they love reading.
"Well, little immortal, we naturally won't go to those dangerous places," said Empress Chang Sun. When the little immortal started sharing, she was so excited that she never dared to open her eyes, for fear that her body would not be able to bear it and she would faint.
And just looking at it makes my heart beat faster.
Those don't really suit them.
"This is natural. Don't go to those dangerous places. I know that the queens are not in good health. If they go to those exciting places, I will be blamed for any danger." Li Wu is not stupid. He knew that the queens were not in good health, so why did he take them out to seek excitement?
"Why don't we go to the library?" Empress Xu suggested. There are so many books that one might not be able to finish reading them in a lifetime.
"Well, reading is a bit too boring," Li Wu said with a bitter face. She really didn't like reading.
Several queens also started to think about it. They couldn't just wish for it. They also had to consider the little fairy. They also knew that the little fairy didn't like reading.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen asleep in the library.
"Otherwise, let's eat first and think about it later. There is still a lot left, and it would be bad to waste it," said Queen Ma. There was still a lot of food on the table.
Empress Changsun and Empress Xu all agreed with Empress Ma's words.
The barrage was full of suggestions, saying people wanted to see where they went, and many people wanted to watch Journey to the West. Although they had already seen it, it was not enough, and watching it a thousand or eight hundred times was not enough.
But most of the choices are made by the little fairy herself, because she knows the world of the little fairy herself.
Li Wu said that he didn't know much about it, not at all.
"Little fairy, you should eat more too," said Queen Ma. Several queens picked up a lot of dishes for Li Wu, taking care of Li Wu like a junior, even though he was indeed a junior.
Li Wu was forced to eat a lot of food. After he was 70% full, he stopped eating.
"Queens, don't force yourself to eat when you are full. Remember the story about Senior Li Shizhen that I told you? People cannot eat too much. It is bad for the stomach," Li Wu was afraid that the queens would eat too much for fear of waste, which would be bad.
The three queens all nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little fairy, we all know it."
Although they are afraid of waste, they will not be hard on their own bodies.
"I know where to go. Why don't we go to the Science and Technology Museum and see the technology of our future generations. It will be very different," Li Wu's eyes sparkled. She thought this was really good.
If I had known this last time, I would have taken the astronomy group to the Science and Technology Museum, but I didn’t think of it last time.
But it doesn’t matter, they can see it from the sky.
"Science and Technology Museum?" Hearing this strange name, the three queens were also interested.
They are very curious about everything in the future.
