Wan'er knelt down too loudly, I sounded as if my knees were starting to hurt, not only worried about Wan'er's mother's moodiness, but also happy that she had distracted her mother's attention, quietly retreated half a step, but saw that her mother just held her hands, and said casually: "Wanqing doesn't have to be afraid, thinking of her ancestors and fathers is human nature, as long as I can be good in the future, I am not a person who cannot tolerate others." I am willing to say this in front of you, and I also mean to treat you sincerely. ”

There was a mother's words, but Wan'er did not see peace, and bowed to the ground and choked up: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, Shengde is glorious, and the concubine is not repaid, I am willing to serve Your Majesty for life, serve as a dog and horse, and hope to repay Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Mother smiled: "I don't want you to be a hundred bodies, as long as you are loyal in this life." He also ordered me: "Help the officials to get up." ”

I hurriedly stepped forward to support Wan'er, but she kowtowed a few times before she was willing to get up with me, when she looked up, her forehead and skirt were already stained with mud, and her cheeks were tears, so she had to bow her head to avoid, and her mother said, "Look up." ”

Wan'er had no choice but to say, "Ask Your Majesty Xià to forgive the concubine for the crime of misconduct", and at the same time raised her head in shame. The mother only looked at it and smiled: "But in vain, crying so pitifully." Wan'er wanted to apologize again, but was stopped by her mother, who said to her: "Go back and freshen up and come again, don't let people see it." Saying and looking at me again, I will care, touched the body for a while, but only brought the handkerchief that Wei Huan gave me, hesitated for a moment, or took it out, handed it to Wan'er, stared at the handkerchief, saw Wan'er take it to wipe the mud, then turned his head again, and listened to his mother: "Your loyalty, I know very well, you only named a talented person last year, and the grade is not very good, money and silk, you are in the palace, and there is nowhere to spend it." Then I will give your mother a birth, and let her go from the court to the temple. ”

Wan'er wiped her tears, heard this will, opened her mouth slightly, the stunned look on her face flashed, and then knelt on the ground again, I quickly grabbed her with my eyes and hands, and said: "The ground is dirty, Master Shangguan has a heart, and I will express my gratitude the next day." "But I feel sorry for the handkerchief.

The mother said, "Go ahead, and I will talk to my son." When she was gone, she smiled at me again.

I was so worried by my mother that I had no way to escape, so I could only laugh and say, "Auntie... Do you want to teach me to be both rigid and soft with those under me? I have saved it, and I will pay attention to it in the future. ”

The mother smiled, but said, "Do you know that your companions, why do you have to choose a concubine to follow?"

I was stunned, in the past, I only entered the palace as a concubine to choose a concubine for Li Rui, and the concubine was the real companion, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt that if this was the case, my mother would not have this question, so I shook my head.

The mother looked at the flowers, as if she was appreciating which flower was the most beautiful, and said casually: "These companions of yours are all from big families, and they are selected to accompany you, one is to let you learn their family style and upbringing, and the other is that they will marry each other in the future, and they will also go to the family of the family, the husband's family is prominent, you often interact with them, and you will be better informed than others in many things, and it is also in line with your heavenly identity." As for choosing a side branch to accompany you, it is purely my selfishness as a mother. She turned to look at me, and compared her height with one hand on my head, "You are clamoring to open a mansion every day, how do you know that the princess of this dynasty does not open a mansion as usual? When you leave the palace, you will only routinely choose a long history to receive honor guests for you, and then there are one or two subordinates to do some chores, and the people at that time are not even willing to do the prince's mansion, not to mention the princess's mansion? Most of the people who are willing to stay with you are not handsome and talented, and they are all men." Although the palace people are loyal, their knowledge is limited, if you encounter any troubles outside the palace in the future, and you don't even have someone to talk to, then you can't go into the palace every day to cry, or force people to obey as a princess? With these people, it will be different. They were born in a big family, the rules of the family are selfish, they are all familiar with the heart, and they are selected among the hundred and ten sisters, and they must also be outstanding, but they are also from a lowly race, with a low status and no foundation. Sisters of the same clan, who have been together since childhood, or have jealousy and discord, you are a princess, and there is no such trouble, as long as you accept it a little, you can gain their loyalty, what you can't think of, they will think of it for you, what you don't do well, they can pull down their faces to do it, understand?"

I didn't think that my mother would choose a concubine for Li Rui, but she thought so much about me behind her back, and I was stunned for a while, before I said: "Wei Huan is smarter than his peers, but his family background is even inferior, and he is not happy with his father, and now he has offended his mother-in-law, except for me, she has no one to rely on, she must be more loyal to me, and it is more convenient for me to use her--is this what A-Niang means?"

Mother nodded, with a little sternness in her eyes: "Song Fuyou has excellent grades in the inner study hall, he is a square person, he is not good at forming a party, Wei Huan is smart and clever, his family is lonely and cold, Wang Xu is a young man who is promoted to the palace, he is coarse and well-read, and he is Gao Yanfu's righteous son, these three people are the people I chose for you, you used them well, you should have cleaned up the palace, and the top and bottom were orderly." ”

I knew my mother's mind at this moment, and I was grateful for my mother's love for my son, but I felt bored in my heart, so I forcibly suppressed my feelings and said, "It's my son's fault." ”

Mother picked another flower, put a hairpin on my head, looked at it, nodded, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, you children play around, it's common to be big or small, and Wei Huan is not a big person, if you like it, use it, don't like it, just send it away and choose again." It's just that you have to keep this heart in mind, and you should choose the people who are available, and cultivate them with intention, and treat the rest of the people with equal grace and power, and don't lose the rules. You don't look at the low-level position of the female officials, so you don't pay much attention to it, these people are used well, and they still subvert the concubine... In short, you must remember that if you use a horse, for example, to train a horse, to add it to power, to punish it, and if you do not accept it, such a horse will be killed rather than kept. Her gaze became very gentle, stroked my sideburns and sighed: "Grandma is old, I can't protect you for a lifetime." Your brother treats you well, and you are not his daughter. It is always different for a grandmother to treat her children and a brother to her younger siblings. ”

Today's mothers are just too unusual. Not to mention that she has never been convinced of old age, she actually said things like "my grandmother is old", just her attitude towards Li Sheng is a little intriguing- Since the discussion of the family, Li Sheng's disputes with his mother have been increasing, his father wanted Li Sheng to supervise the country last year, but his mother blocked him on the grounds of marrying first, this year let him be imprisoned in the country, but let him stay in Luoyang, not the capital, although the trivial matters are from the prince, his decision still has to be presented to his parents to know, thinking of his mother's actions in another history, and her usual character, I find it hard to believe that my mother will give in like this. However, in any case, her attitude towards Wei Huan was already obvious, so I could only arch my hand and say respectfully: "Listen to A-Niang's teachings." ”

The mother smiled and said: "Wei Huan originally had a half-sister who died of abuse by the Wei family, and her brother-in-law Wei Wusheng endured in the Xuan, and was supposed to participate in the tribute examination last year, but during the exam, he was mistaken for a thief who stole clothes, and was sent out by the main examination court, and he had no shame to try again." If you want to be gracious in the future, you can say to the Ministry of Rites at any time, whether Wei Wusheng Ren wants to re-enter the arena or be promoted depends on your intentions. ”

This news was even more shocking than what Fang Cai's mother said, I opened my mouth wide, and said, "Sister of the same mother-is it Wei Qi Niang?" I remember talking to Wei Huan once, but I didn't know that I died early.

The mother said, "Ask her yourself." After a pause, he said: "Since you ask for the whole body for Ah Yang, then the sentence will be changed to death." Thou shalt inform the court of thou shalt do so according to the order. ”

My face turned white for a moment, and I repeated like a worm: "Cane death?"

My mother patted me on the head affectionately and said with a smile, "Cane death." ”
