After Li Ke ascended the throne, he still regarded his biological mother, Empress Yang as the Empress Dowager, and then conferred the crown princess Wu Meiniang as the empress. Both of these were undisputed and were expected to be returned by everyone.

Since Empress Yang became the Empress Dowager, she naturally could not live in the harem anymore. Wu Meiniang moved from the Eastern Palace to the Lizheng Hall, while Empress Yang moved into the Baifu Hall in the name of Empress Dowager.

Li Ke ascended the throne in early March and honored Empress Yang as the Empress Dowager. However, it was already the end of April when Empress Yang officially moved from Yanjia Hall to Baifu Hall, and it took one month.

There are two main reasons why Empress Yang moved the harem. One is that Empress Yang has been in the harem for some years. This time, she moved to Baifu Palace not only for a simple move, but also for the transfer of power to the harem, and handed over the power of the harem to Wu Meiniang, the newly book queen;

Secondly, because the Baifu Palace is a bit shabby for the Empress Dowager to live in, or it is not suitable, it has been repaired for some time, and it has only been completed in a few days.

The Tai Chi Palace was first built during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tai Chi Palace, Baifu Palace was used for the empress dowager to live. In the more than 60 years since the Tai Chi Palace was built, there was never a queen mother in Tai Chi Palace before the Yang Empress Dowager. From Yang Jian, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to Li Yuan and Li Shimin later, there was no saying that there was a queen mother during his reign, and Empress Yang was the first.

Among the Tang Dynasty royal family, there are two extremely strange positions, one is the crown prince and the other is the queen mother.

The crown prince is the crown prince of the country, that is, the future emperor, but not many crown princes of the Tang Dynasty can truly ascend the throne, and even less than half of them. Especially the first crown prince who was enthroned after the new emperor ascends the throne, few of them can ascend the throne smoothly.

The situation where the first canonized prince of the Tang Dynasty was able to successfully ascend the throne and become emperor has to go back to 160 years from the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I saw that Emperor Dezong of Tang, Li Shi, who should have been the ninth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had never been before.

The prince is like this, and the empress dowager is almost the same. If we put aside Wu Meiniang in power, it would be considered a strange thing to go back to more than 180 years of life, and to the birth mother of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, Empress Zhuang Xian.

Tai Chi Palace, Baifu Palace, and inner hall.

Today is the first day when Yang Houxin moved to Baifu Palace. Li Ke and Wu Meiniang also made a special trip from Ganlu Palace to greet Queen Yang. However, when Li Ke came to Baifu Palace and saw the appearance of Baifu Palace, he felt a little unhappy.

Li Ke has been here in Baifu Palace in the past. Because there was no such thing as the empress dowager in the Tang Dynasty in the past, Baifu Palace was used for banquets many times. Li Yuan and Li Shimin had both set up banquets here. Li Ke knew about this, so he ordered people to repair it for a long time. However, as far as the appearance of Baifu Palace is concerned, it is still far from satisfying Li Ke.

The appearance of Baifu Hall is indeed better than before, but the furnishings in the house are still too simple and outdated. Many carvings and paintings on the walls and beams have been decolorized or even peeled off. Not to mention the appearance of this appearance, it is worse than that of the Lizheng Hall, even compared to the Zhaoqing Hall.

"Gaoyang, haven't I specially ordered people to repair Baifu Palace? Why is it still like this? But the repair craftsman is lazy and shortened the process?" Li Ke sat in the hall of Baifu Palace, looked around carefully, frowned slightly, and asked his younger sister Princess Gaoyang.

Before getting married, most of the princesses in the Princess’ Hall next to Qianqiu Hall, but Gao Yang was specially treated as preferential because he was Li Ke’s sister and lived with Empress Yang, so he was also clear about the situation in Baifu Hall.

Gao Yang replied: "Baifu Palace is lived by my mother, and my brother will come often. The craftsman is lazy and dare not. However, this Baifu Palace has been disrepair for a while and it will be difficult to repair it for a while. It has been repaired for a month, but it has only been repaired."

Although Baifu Hall is just a hall name, it is definitely not a simple hall. Baifu Hall covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres and is a huge palace complex with more than 700 buildings and corridors. If you really want to repair it well, it will take more than a month. Li Ke also knows the difficulties.

Li Ke heard this and said to Queen Yang: "Since that's the case, why should I rush to move in? Just live in Yanjia Palace for the time being. When my son ordered someone to repair Baifu Palace for a long time, I'll just move in again."

Queen Yang patted Li Ke's hand and smiled and said, "It's great if you have this heart. When you ascend the throne, you should focus more on the government affairs. It's okay for my mother to do it."

Empress Yang was the daughter of former Emperor Yang of Sui, and was considered to be a cautious person after the fall of the country. Even if she later became a concubine, she was always simple and never extravagant.

What's more, the so-called beauty of the palace is only used to demonstrate the dignity of identity. Now Empress Yang is the empress dowager of the dynasty, and even Emperor Li Ke is her parent-child. What else can she not get? There is no need to demonstrate her dignity in this way.

Concubine Yang did not attach much importance to these things and could accommodate everything, but Gao Yang was different. After hearing what Yang Empress said, Gao Yang immediately said to Empress Yang: "My mother, just tell me if you have anything. Brother is the emperor like this, what are the taboos?"

Li Ke listened to Gao Yang's words and knew that there must be his intention, so he asked Queen Yang: "What is the meaning of what my sister is saying? If there is any difficulty, just talk to her. Even if Ah Mom wants the stars in the sky, she can try to pick them off for her."

Li Ke said he wanted to pick stars for Queen Yang, which was naturally a joke, but Li Ke is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As long as it is what Queen Yang wants, it is worth it.

Queen Yang listened to Li Ke's words and suddenly laughed out loud by Li Ke and said to Li Ke: "You are used to making my mother happy. How can the stars in the sky be picked off?"

Li Ke also smiled and said, "Stars are difficult, but my mother has anything to say, but she just tells Ke'er, so Ke'er will do it."

When Li Ke said that, Empress Yang still said nothing. Obviously, she didn't want to make Li Ke difficult. Seeing this, Li Ke looked at Gao Yang beside him.

Gao Yang knew what Li Ke meant and replied: "My grandma is getting older and she is a little afraid of cold and dampness. The terrain of Baifu Palace is too low and the humidity is severe. My grandma has been in Baifu Palace for more than a day and feels chest tightness. What can I do if this continues?"

Tai Chi Palace is located in the lowest depression in Chang'an City, and Tai Chi Palace itself is also low in the southwest and high in the northeast. Baifu Hall is facing southwest, so the terrain is low and low in the middle. Baifu Hall is much wetter than Yanjia Hall where Queen Yang used to live. Queen Yang is afraid of cold and dampness, so it is indeed not advisable to live in Baifu Hall for a long time.

Li Ke couldn't help feeling guilty and sad when he heard Gao Yang's words. Since Li Ke ascended the throne, he has been busy with court and himself for two months, but he rarely takes care of Queen Yang's side. Queen Yang is afraid of dampness, so he even forgot about this matter.

Empress Yang is not too old, but she is still forty-six years old, and her temples on her hair are beginning to have a slight frost. Over the years, Empress Yang has also been worried about Li Ke's position as the crown prince, and has been working hard in the palace. Now that Li Ke has ascended the throne and become emperor, if even Empress Yang's bedroom cannot be called Queen Yang Ruyi, how can Li Ke be considered a son?
