Chapter 266: The Queen Mother and the Empress
After Mu Hibiscus woke up, Mama Zhang took a piece of paper and said to Mu Hibiscus: "This is a letter sent by His Royal Highness early in the morning, saying that it is some precautions in the palace for Niang Niang to see." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Mu Hibiscus nodded, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was some of the things that Zhao Yao had mentioned to her before she came to the palace earlier, obviously, Zhao Yao was probably afraid that she would forget, and it would be bad to poke out the basket, so he wrote it again and asked her to review it.
Hibiscus's memory has always been good, and I remembered these very well before, but I understood Zhao Yao's painstaking efforts, so I still read it again and put it aside.
Not long after, Zhao Yao came over and took hibiscus to greet the queen mother and queen.
Zhao Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Hibiscus was in good spirits, and said, "It seems that you are not very nervous, that's good, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to sleep last night, and today you have two dark circles under your eyes." ”
Zhao Yao complained that the two couldn't live together, after all, he was used to living together, and suddenly he couldn't live together, Zhao Yao was still a little unaccustomed, so he thought that one day he would be able to make his own decisions, and the first thing he did was to move over and live with Hibiscus.
Mu Hibiscus glanced at Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "You are in good spirits, it seems that you have adjusted well." ”
Zhao Yao is more stressed than her, and then unlike her, her psychological age is older than her physical age, and she is somewhat calmer, so seeing that Zhao Yao is not pressed and haggard, she can't help but praise him.
Zhao Yao said with a smile: "Since the holy decree was issued, saying that I was appointed as the crown prince, I have been mentally prepared, if I can't adjust at this time, then I don't have to mess up." ”
In fact, if he hadn't been trained by Princess Ping in those years, to be honest, his psychological endurance would not be as good as it is now, so the hardships he suffered in those years were not all bad.
At that moment, the two looked at each other's appearances and found that there was no problem, so they went to Empress Dowager Zheng's Palace of Mercy and Grace.
In the palace, no matter how affectionate they are, it is impossible for them to sit in the same chariot, at least not before Zhao Yao is in charge now, so the two naturally sit separately.
And before getting into the car, Zhao Yao explained to Mu Hibiscus softly: "Empress Dowager Zheng has a conflict with us, if she is not friendly to you, or even troubles you, you can only endure not to have a seizure, the palace is not as good as the outside, we just came in now, we can bear it." Don't forget the three-word mantra you told me back then. ”
"Bear with me, I know, you don't have to worry, I won't be unbearable. Hibiscus laughed.
She had been a subordinate for ten years, and she hadn't experienced anything uncomfortable, so she didn't put up with it.
Zhao Yao nodded and said, "That's right, when I am in charge in the future, it will not be too late to be ruthless to the people who have troubled you." ”
The two agreed, and immediately got into the chariot and came to the Palace of Mercy and Grace.
Waiting for the palace people in front of the Empress Dowager's palace to report in a regular manner, after a while, the boss informed them that they could go in before they appeared, so Mu Hibiscus and Zhao Yao got out of the car and walked, passed through the palace gates, entered the inner hall, and met the Empress Dowager Zheng.
Empress Dowager Zheng's palace is still quiet at this time, it should be that the concubines have asked for peace and left.
Zhao Yao and Mu Hibiscus came to ask for peace at this point in time, naturally it was not their own idea, but Mu Hibiscus asked Ma Mama, the aunt in charge, to come over at this point in time.
Mu Hibiscus is better, Zhao Yao is a foreign man, so naturally he can't say when he comes, when he comes, and he doesn't look at the time, in case he has to meet the concubines of Emperor Yonghe, even if it is not a lonely man and a widow, but in a public place, there are many people, but if you can avoid meeting, you still have to try to avoid it, otherwise, if you get into any peachy news, it will not be good, so Zhao Yao and Mu Hibiscus came after the concubines asked for peace.
This is also Mu Hibiscus cautious, asked clearly, only came at this point in time, if it is not prudent, no one told them when to say goodbye, and they didn't ask, they came directly the next day, just afraid that they would run into those concubines, and then the Empress Dowager Zheng found a place that was not polite, and preached.
Now, the hibiscus is very polite, and the Empress Dowager Zheng can't find an excuse to count the two of them for a while, so when she saw the two of them coming in, she saluted her and asked them to get up with a smile, and then asked Mama Zheng to put a red envelope for each of them - this is the same as the number of etiquette for folk brides to greet their mothers-in-law.
After giving the two red envelopes, Empress Dowager Zheng smiled again: "The palace is not as comfortable as the outside, you just came, I'm afraid that you will feel depressed, and when you feel depressed, go to the imperial garden to go around, the scenery there is not bad." ”
Although after watching it for decades, no matter how good it looks, I think it's like that.
Mu Hibiscus naturally didn't dare to dislike the bad in the palace, but it was also difficult to refute the words of the Empress Dowager Zheng, lest the other party say that she was kind, and she still didn't appreciate it, so she immediately followed the Empress Dowager Zheng's words and replied in a proper manner: "Thank the Empress Dowager for her guidance." ”
"What else is the queen mother, call me the imperial grandmother. Empress Dowager Zheng said with a smile.
Since Zhao Yao was established as the East Palace, Zhao Yao naturally came over, so now the Empress Dowager Zheng is Zhao Yao's grandmother, so since the Empress Dowager Zheng said so, Mu Hibiscus naturally changed her title according to what she said: "Imperial grandmother." ”
"Good boy. The Empress Dowager Zheng was still smiling, and seemed to be very happy, but only her henchman Mama Zheng would know that the Empress Dowager Zheng was not happy at all, just before the hibiscus and they came, she was still lamenting that her son Emperor Yonghe had no children under her knees, and asked a distant branch clan to pick up the cheap, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
Empress Dowager Zheng naturally wouldn't chat with Mu Hibiscus and forget Zhao Yao, after all, Mu Hibiscus is only the crown princess, and Zhao Yao is the main owner of the palace in the future, so after chatting with Mu Hibiscus for a while, Empress Dowager Zheng turned her head to Zhao Yao and said, "Good boy, you were tired for a day yesterday, did you sleep well at night?"
If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Zheng had found trouble with Hibiscus with Duchess Chengen and Zheng Xiuxiu, if she hadn't known that she had obstructed the process of establishing the prince, and she had been depressed since she was established, and she was unhappy that he was established as the prince, just looking at her current appearance, she really looked like a qualified grandmother, but Zhao Yao, who knew her true face, naturally would not be fooled by her because she was so kind at this moment, so when she saw the other party acting with him, she naturally accompanied her to act, and did not show the slightest displeasure because she knew that the other party obstructed the establishment of him as the prince, and only replied with a straight look: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, yesterday was fine, not very tired, and I slept well at night, and the emperor's grandmother was worried. ”
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and nodded, and said "yes" several times before she said, "It's good not to be tired, it's not too early, go to your mother's place." ”
said that it was a mother, and that she was referring to Queen Chen.
Since the Empress Dowager Zheng said so, Zhao Yao and Mu Hibiscus naturally pushed the boat and said goodbye, and did not refuse, and stayed with the Empress Dowager Zheng for a long time.
Empress Chen lives in Kunning Palace.
Waiting for the report to Empress Chen was much faster than going to Empress Dowager Zheng, and soon Empress Chen and the proud grandmother came to greet her with a smile, and said: "Niangniang was worried that the princess would not live well yesterday, and I wanted to go over to see it, but I was afraid that the past not only failed to help the princess, but made the princess have more hardship because of everything, so she didn't go." ”
Mu Hibiscus smiled: "Let the queen mother worry about it." ”
The two talked and talked, and soon entered the palace.
Although Queen Chen is forty years old, she doesn't look old, she looks like she is thirty years old at most, and she is very good at dressing up, and she looks quite temperamental.
Empress Chen was also busy asking people to help them up, and then they also gave a red envelope each, and after looking at the meeting with a smile, she couldn't help blurting out praise: "What a pair of beautiful people." ”
This is not what Empress Chen said nonsense, but it is true.
The beauty of the hibiscus is stunning, and now it is dressed in palace clothes, dressed up, in addition to the beauty, it has added an extra layer of grace and luxury, like a peony in full bloom.
And Zhao Yao on the side, who has grown up and grown up over the years, is also handsome and beautiful, and with the prince's regular clothes, he is extravagant.
As the saying goes, the Buddha wants gold, and people want clothes, and the two of them are more and more like jade people under the backdrop of the prince's and princess's regular clothes.
Mu Hibiscus listened to Empress Chen's praise, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Xie Niangniang's praise." ”
Queen Chen saw that she was down-and-out and generous, and she didn't listen to her own words, showing a cramped and shy little family, she couldn't help but like it at the moment, the secret inheritance is really strong, even if she grew up in the countryside, but because it is the blood of the prince of Changping, it is still so atmospheric, and it is not comparable to the little lady of ordinary people.
So I couldn't help but hold her hand at the moment, and said with a smile: "What else is it called, it should be called the queen mother." ”
Mu Hibiscus could see that her intimacy with Empress Dowager Zheng was different, she was sincere, and she couldn't help but call out a little more sincerely than to Empress Dowager Zheng: "Queen Mother." ”
Zhao Yao on the side also shouted.
Hearing the titles of Mu Hibiscus and Zhao Yao, Empress Chen couldn't help but smile happily and said, "Okay, good." Then Zhao Yao, who looked at the side, looked at the two of them chatting with a smile, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "I heard that your husband and wife are harmonious, but when I saw it today, it was really the envy of the world." ”
said that it was the envy of the world, but in fact, in the final analysis, it was her own envy, after all, there are few people like Hibiscus and Zhao Yao in this world, and there are more men who are not lucky, and women who serve a husband with others, and they cry sadly in their hearts, even she and Emperor Yonghe are like this.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many concubines in the palace, if there were only two people, she and Emperor Yonghe, her children would not have died- Queen Chen now has only one daughter under her knees, in fact, she was pregnant earlier, but she had a miscarriage, it was a male fetus, if the child had not been miscarried, she would not have had no children, and because the child had a miscarriage and injured her body, she never got pregnant later, and the reason for the miscarriage was not that she was careless, but that she was lost due to being done by someone who did her hands and feet, and the people who did her hands and feet, needless to say, were the other concubines of Emperor Yonghe, which is also the reason why Queen Chen praised the love between Mu Hibiscus and Zhao Yao.
Over the years, the palace does not know how many children have been miscarried, and even died a lot, most of them were made by people, not for no reason, if Emperor Yonghe did not have these concubines, only she was alone, I am afraid that there are absolutely three men and two women under the knees, as a result, Emperor Yonghe has many women, want to have more imperial heirs, and then there is no son, and they have to pass from others, but it is also a difficult retribution, Your Majesty is afraid that it has never thought that although women are brainwashed by three from four virtues, but who can really not be jealous, who will honestly be commensurate with other concubines and sisters in the palace, as written in the book, several women serve a husband, and they can still be harmonious with each other, more of them frame each other and kill each other, after all, ordinary people will be brothers on the wall for a few silver coins, not to mention fighting for the throne, who would not be ruthless?
In order to sleep with a few more women, and afraid that the women are not peaceful, and want to make these women harmonious and beautiful, they invented the three from the four virtues, and included jealousy into the seven dogmas, brainwashing women since childhood, but never thought that if people's selfish desires can be washed away by brainwashing, there will be no war in the world, let alone anyone chasing fame and fortune, and the world will be peaceful, rich and poor.
If you can't wash it off, the backyard is always easy to catch fire, and the struggle is always cruel, many rich and noble families, obviously have a group of wives and concubines, and the male owner is also lustful, and in the end there are no heirs, the reason is here, it's just that an outsider for unknown reasons, I just think that the person is unlucky, and the heirs are not abundant.
However, Emperor Yonghe has no heirs, and it is better to succeed Zhao Yao from the outside, it is better than setting up Wei Zi's son as the crown prince, fortunately Wei Zi's child is gone, otherwise she will use her son to find her trouble, and her son will become the emperor in the future, she is afraid that she will have no place to stand.
Now this Zhao Yao, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to ascend the throne compared to Wei Zi's son, the situation is even worse for her, besides, through the dealings just now, she can see that Zhao Yao and Mu Hibiscus husband and wife don't seem to be the kind of difficult people to get along with, in this way, Zhao Yao will become the emperor in the future, as long as he keeps his duty, the position of the Queen Mother can still be very stable, which is also the reason why Queen Chen saw Zhao Yao and Mu Hibiscus at this time, and she was much happier than Queen Mother Zheng.
After Queen Chen talked to Mu Hibiscus and Zhao Yao, she was afraid that the two of them would stay restrained with her and be anxious, so she sent the two away. The Queen Mother and the Chengen Mansion jumped up and down, but His Majesty still insisted on establishing the King of Linjiang County as the crown prince, the Queen Mother did not follow her to help the Duchess of Chengen and Miss Zheng Si at the beginning, and the county lord of Anping should be able to see it, our Majesty is not the kind of person who can easily be swayed by people, I can't understand this, on the premise of knowing that His Majesty belongs to the King of Linjiang County, I still do everything possible to obstruct it, don't you know that the more this is the case, the more unhappy Your Majesty is, and the more you won't listen to her? Now it's okay, the king of Linjiang County has become the prince, and she has also made a feud with the king of Linjiang County, and after that, the king of Linjiang County will become the emperor, and the queen mother's life is only afraid that it will be difficult. ”
