Chapter 139: Coaxing the Queen Mother
Compared with the powerful grandson Emperor Yongtai, the Empress Dowager has a good impression of Empress Pei, who has always been virtuous and generous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At least on the surface, the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much calmer than in previous generations.
The emperor's heirs are prosperous, and the harem concubines are also living in peace, not as dark and miasma as before.
Of course, it is impossible to put an end to intrigue and jealousy in places where there are many women, but it is not easy to maintain such a calm face.
Only those who have been queens know the difficulties, so the empress dowager rarely embarrasses Queen Pei, the granddaughter-in-law.
After listening to Lan Niang talk about the princes being crowned kings, she was full of sympathy for Queen Pei's mother and son, and even remembered what happened to her mother and son many years ago.
In her opinion, it is logical for the prince to inherit the throne, otherwise why is there any need to make a queen?
It's a pity that the people who are emperors never think about it this way, they will only leave the country to the son they like, and they will also hang the name of "Lixian".
The concubine born to the concubine has become "virtuous"?
She does not deny that there are also great rebellions among the princes, but the root cause is not all forced by the people who are the emperor!
Position and even life are threatened, and no one is allowed to resist?
Of course, because the third prince Yu Wenyi married the daughter of the Su family and got her extra love, the old lady ignored this for the time being.
So she didn't realize that before she figured out the truth of the matter, her heart was already on the side of the queen's mother and son.
Soon Queen Pei and Lan Niang arrived.
Empress Pei knows how to handle people's psychology very well, and as soon as she changes her dignified and virtuous image, she cried in front of the Empress Dowager as soon as she entered the door.
"Imperial grandmother, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter-in-law and Heng'er-" Whimpering and sad to the extreme, not to mention the Queen Mother, even Lan Niang was sad when she saw it.
People are often like this, women who cry and wipe their tears on weekdays, and when they cry when they encounter something, no one will sympathize, because people have long been used to it.
Of course, those women who seem to be very strong and stoic on weekdays will cry once in a while, and the effect will be particularly good.
The Empress Dowager hurriedly took her hand and said comfortingly: "If you have something to say, speak slowly, the imperial grandmother will definitely call the shots for you." ”
Empress Pei sat down next to the Empress Dowager and explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail.
Of course, she carefully whitewashed the part about Lin Sese, and put all the blame on the woman, but Yu Wenheng became an infatuated man who was played with by a woman who loved Xucai.
The Empress Dowager was a little displeased, and it was not strange that the children of the royal family were romantic, but Yu Wenheng had obviously gone too far.
What kind of fairy beauty is not worth exchanging for her own future!
It's really like his great-grandfather, and her husband back then couldn't even take care of the country for those sluts.
She beat her legs and scolded: "This little thing is not angry, no wonder he is so angry, the mourning family is almost sad to death!"
Empress Pei hurriedly held her hand: "It's all Heng'er's fault, Imperial Grandmother take your hand carefully." ”
The Empress Dowager let out a long sigh, and then scolded: "You too, it's just that they hide such a big thing from the mourning family, you are Brother Heng'er's mother, why didn't you come to Ci'an Palace earlier to inform the mourning family, you have to make things out of control." Now it's okay, the children are gone, and the title is gone, I see what your mother and son will do in the future!"
Empress Pei wiped her tears and choked up: "Where does the granddaughter-in-law still have face, if it weren't for your old man's pity today...... Whining...... I've been embarrassed to mention half a word for the rest of my life. ”
The Empress Dowager said again: "The mourning family knows that you feel uncomfortable, they are all mothers, who doesn't love the flesh that falls from your own body, but you have to have a degree of love for your children!
Queen Pei nodded: "The concubine knows, so she has never dared to ask someone to say good things for His Majesty Heng'er Qiu, so I thought that I had to let him learn a lesson, but ...... Your Majesty has done too much, isn't this forcing Heng'er to death, that child will be strong when he beats a child...... The concubine is really ......"
If the offender is someone else's child, the Empress Dowager deserves to be scolded, and she will be forced to do such a dirty thing!
It's a pity that this is the great-grandson she has always loved and valued, how could she watch his life's future be ruined like this.
The Empress Dowager instructed Lan Niang: "You go on a trip in person, please ask the emperor to come to the mourning palace immediately, and the person who is the father is not happy to put his son to death." ”
Empress Pei knew Emperor Yongtai very well, and knew that the Empress Dowager's words had limited weight in him, and he couldn't expect the old lady to get back a princely title for her son.
Her purpose was to muddy the water and make the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yongtai have a bigger rift.
At this time, seeing that the goal had been achieved, she wiped her tears again and said: "Imperial grandmother, Your Majesty is still angry with the concubine, and the concubine will return to the palace first." ”
The Empress Dowager glared at her: "You are not angry, the mother of a country is like an angry little daughter-in-law, just stay here, the mourning family wants to see the emperor dare to show your face in front of your grandmother!"
Queen Pei said in her heart what the old lady pretended, she was not so stupid, if she stayed here, wouldn't she become a punching bag!
She hurriedly replied: "The appearance of the concubine is really unsightly, which makes Your Majesty even more angry when she sees it, and the imperial grandmother allows the concubine to go back to the palace to freshen up and change her clothes." ”
The Empress Dowager saw that her face was yellow, her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was a little loose, and the front of her clothes was full of tears, and her image was indeed not very good.
Men like their wives to be beautiful and gentle, even if they are not beautiful enough, they should be neat and clean, and the granddaughter-in-law who looks like this will only add fuel to the fire when she sees the emperor's grandson, and she asks for love.
She waved her hand and said, "Go, go, I'll come back later." ”
Empress Pei gave a salute: "The concubine will retire first, annoying the emperor's grandmother." ”
About half an hour later, Emperor Yongtai rode the dragon chariot to Ci'an Palace.
You don't need to ask to know what the old lady asked him to do, just for the evil obstacle.
I don't care about it, but tomorrow is the old lady's birthday, and it's a sin if you get angry.
He shook his dragon robe and strode down the dragon chariot, only letting Liu Shun wait with him, and the rest of the people were all waiting outside the Ci'an Palace.
The Empress Dowager also had a tacit understanding to send the palace people away early, and the main hall of Ci'an Palace was unusually quiet.
"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother. Emperor Yongtai knew that the old lady had an opinion about herself, so she simply took a big salute with her clothes and rules.
This time, the Empress Dowager did not stop him, and accepted this gift solidly.
After the ceremony, he said: "Get up, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, and this old woman of the mourning family didn't bother you." ”
Emperor Yongtai stood up and said with a smile: "Whatever the imperial grandmother says, as long as you want to see your grandson, your grandson can come and talk to you at any time." ”
The Empress Dowager motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "The mourning family doesn't dare to delay national affairs, I have something to ask if someone invites you here today." ”
Emperor Yongtai sat down steadily and said, "If the imperial grandmother has something to say, please speak up." ”
The Empress Dowager said: "Then the mourning family will not go around the corner, this time the emperor has done a little too much." ”
