"The concubine dares to ask the emperor, what is filial piety?"

"Why bother the emperor, the old minister replied on behalf of the emperor, the parents are here, not far away, the parents are dead, you must be worried. The queen mother is well versed in etiquette, how can she not even understand this truth?" Before the emperor could answer, Lord Situ opened his mouth first.

The queen still had a smile on her face, "Does the emperor think so too?"

The emperor nodded slightly, "Exactly, what is filial piety, and what does the queen think?"

"The concubine thought that the essence of filial piety was that children should obey the wishes of their parents," the queen took a few steps forward, helped me up, turned to look back at the ministers in the hall, and said, "Who does not want his children to be safe and happy?"

Seeing that everyone in the hall was powerless to refute, the queen mother took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Women are not better than men, the years are fleeting, if the parents of Xiaoxiao girl have spirits in the sky, they definitely hope that their daughter can find a good home, instead of letting her guard a lonely mound at the age of twenty-eight to endure the wind and rain." ”

"Your Majesty, I have always ruled the world with filial piety, how can the emperor ignore the true meaning of filial piety because of stereotypes and bad habits?"

Today, I really saw the queen's skillful tongue, and everyone was speechless in just a few words.

"It's just... How can the rules set by the saints be changed at will?" the emperor was a little unwilling.

The queen seemed to have expected the emperor to answer like this, and said with a slight smile: "The emperor has always said that the concubine is the heroine of the world, and the concubine should always remember the teachings of the saint and set an example for the women of the world." Since the concubine is in this position, it is not too much to make a decree for the women of the world, right?"

"Hehe, this is right, Zhong Aiqing said right?" The emperor laughed dryly twice and asked the ministers what they meant.

The ministers in the hall looked at each other, and no one dared to raise objections, after all, the status of the queen mother was there, how could they be allowed to make irresponsible remarks.

An hour later, outside the Xiaoming Palace, several wild geese flew over the palace gate with their chirps.

"Your Royal Highness, Niangniang, the Queen Mother, please come in and speak. After waiting outside for a quarter of an hour, a palace maid hurriedly walked out of the room.

"Let's go. Zhize took my hand and led me carefully up the long steps.

Although the appearance of Xiaoming Palace is no different from other palaces, the layout inside is very casual, and there are no precious gold and silver utensils to decorate, so it will not make people feel restrained. It seems that Zhize has not been here before, and like me, he is full of curiosity about everything around him.

"How can Your Highness be free to come to my Xiaoming Palace?" With a sound of squirming footsteps, the queen mother walked out from behind the corridor surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

I don't want to think that after such a short period of time, the queen mother has already changed her clothes, faded from the gorgeous court clothes before, and changed into a light cyan robe, which looks simple and generous.

"Come, sit down and talk. As soon as the queen mother sat down, she beckoned us to sit down, and said to herself: "My palace is very chaotic, Xun'er often says let me clean up, alas, people are old, and they don't pay much attention to those exquisite... Hey, why don't you sit down?"

Zhize and I glanced at each other, fell to their knees, and gave her a big salute.

"You... What are you doing, get up, get up!" the queen hurriedly rose from her seat, stepped forward quickly, and helped us both up.

"This time, Xiaoxiao and I came to thank the queen mother. Zhi Ze got up and replied, his face was very pious.

"Hey, thank you, it's all your own family. The queen pulled us to her couch one by one and sat down, and pushed a plate of pastries on the table in front of me in front of me: "Don't be so polite, come, try this pastry!"

I politely took a piece of pastry and said gratefully, "Thanks to the Queen Mother for helping us today, otherwise it would have been..."

"What are you talking about!" The queen waved her hand indifferently, pointed at me with a smile and said to Zhize: "Xiaoxiao, this child, I like it when I see it, I really can't bear to let her be wronged, Your Highness will treat her well in the future, if you let me know that Xiaoxiao has been wronged, then the mourning family can't spare you." ”

"Definitely, definitely. In the face of the queen's playful intimidation, Zhi Ze smiled and agreed.
