The Queen Mother is from the Li family of Zhao County, a descendant of a real family. In this era, the family has a high status and prestige, not to mention ordinary people, even if it is the royal family, it can be despised. I think back then, it was the first emperor who had the cheekiness to ask to marry the daughter of the Li family of Zhao County, so the Empress Dowager Li entered the palace since she entered the palace, and she was directly the only queen of the East Palace, which no one could compare. Later, she gave birth to two sons one after another, and she became the noble queen mother all the way without wind and waves.

Empress Dowager Li is now fifty-nine years old, but due to proper maintenance, she looks at least ten years younger than her actual age. And because of her good upbringing and superior living conditions since childhood, she is full of elegance between her gestures.

But now she has no sense of elegance, and she cried heartily when she hugged Sima Yue, who had just entered the hall.

Sima Yue, who was tightly held in her arms, felt a little embarrassed.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, looks like Lin Daiyu just entered Jiafu, and Mrs. Shi hugged her and cried.

But different people, when Mrs. Shi hugged Lin Daiyu and cried, there were still people next to her who were persuading, but now no one in this full hall dared to persuade her, until Empress Dowager Li finally cried enough, and then let go of Sima Yue.

But that's not all. Although Empress Dowager Li no longer hugged Sima Yue, she was holding her face with both hands, looking at it constantly, and still saying in her mouth: "Poor child." Since you were born, you are now fourteen years old, and this is the first time that the imperial grandmother has seen you. Your father is also ruthless, and he hasn't even come to the capital to see me for so many years. ”

With that, tears welled up in his eyes again.

Sima Yue thought quickly in her heart, and felt that although she was a fool in her original body, she couldn't let go of this great opportunity to brush up her good feelings.

You must know that she will stay in the capital for a long time in the future, so Empress Dowager Li will definitely be a very thick backer.

So she took out a plain handkerchief from her sleeve, stood on tiptoe, took the handkerchief and wiped the tears on Empress Dowager Li's face, and said softly: "Actually, my father misses the imperial grandmother very much." My father was at home, and every day he would tell me how the imperial grandmother doted on him and indulged him in the past, and said that although this time I was asked to go to Beijing to study in the Royal Academy, the most important thing was to let me accompany the imperial grandmother for some days, so that the imperial grandmother could take a good look at me. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Li reached out and squeezed the hand she was holding the handkerchief, and at the same time kept saying quietly: "Okay, good, what a good boy." Your father also said in the letter that he indulged you in lawlessness and lawlessness, and said that during your time in the capital, I must not tolerate you. But in my opinion, your father is exaggerating. Yue'er is so sensible and reasonable, where does she look like a lawless and lawless person? Besides, you have the blood of my Zhaojun Li family and the Sima royal family, and you are the most noble identity in this world, so you should be arrogant. Good boy, are you tired of standing for so long? Come and sit down with Grandmother. ”

Sima Yue Waterfall Khan.

This Empress Dowager Li seems to be an expert at indulging children. If Sima Yue, who was the original body, heard her words, he was afraid that he would also walk sideways in this capital in the future, wouldn't it be even more lawless?

Empress Dowager Li took Sima Yue's hand to the upper seat and sat down, and asked people to serve tea and pastries one by one, and at the same time said to Eunuch Li who was waiting beside her: "What about the emperor? Yue'er is his own niece and nephew, why didn't he take a look? Quick, go and call the Emperor here. ”

Li Neijian glanced at Sima Yue with some embarrassment.

There has always been a reason for only the younger generations to visit the elders, where is the reason for the elders to come to the younger generations first? And the other party is an emperor after all

His hesitant appearance was seen by the Empress Dowager Li, and her face immediately sank, and her voice also had the majesty that the Empress Dowager should have: "Why, didn't you hear the words of the mourning family?" ”

"Imperial grandmother," Sima Yue also stood up at this time, and said to Empress Dowager Li obediently and meekly, "Uncle Huang is an elder, so Yue'er should go to see him first." Otherwise, the imperial grandmother will first ask Gonggong Li to take me to meet the imperial uncle first, and I will come to talk to the imperial grandmother later? ”

Her well-behaved and docile appearance and decent and sensible words only brushed her favor in the mind of Empress Dowager Li, and her value soared straight up.

"Good child," Empress Dowager Li took her hand, the majestic look on her face just now was swept away, and she turned to say with kindness, "Aren't you tired after so many days of traveling?" Let's sit here and rest for a while. Although your imperial uncle is your elder, it is good for you to visit him, but I am still his own mother, and he is a son, shouldn't he come to see me as a mother? You just sit down, it's okay. ”

Then she turned her head to Supervisor Li, and her voice became majestic again: "Why don't you go and call the emperor to the mourning family." ”

His face changed like a flip book, and Sima Yue expressed his breathtaking.

The two grandparents talked for a while, and naturally the Empress Dowager Li was asking Sima Yue, nothing more than how her father was, how her mother was, how she was when she was in Jiangling, and so on.

Sima Yue is naturally unclear about the affairs of the Jiangling Palace, but the Empress Dowager Li is also unclear. Although there was a warbler from Jiangling next to him, Sima Yue had already secretly asked the two little maids and the grandmother, knowing that this warbler was not from the palace at the beginning, and it was when they were about to go to Beijing that the king of Jiangling sent her to serve her. So if you speculate like this, Yingshi shouldn't be very clear about what is going on in the Gangneung Palace, right? And after getting along with each other during this time, Sima Yue felt that Yingshi was the kind of person who didn't talk much, so Sima Yue was very fearless and made up some words to prevaricate the Empress Dowager Li.

Anyway, it's just to say more about how her father thinks about her, and how she, as a granddaughter, also misses her, and so on, to make Empress Dowager Li happy.

Empress Dowager Li was really happy to be coaxed by Sima Yue. So when her emperor's son came, the smile on her face had not faded.

The emperor is just past the age of confusion, his name is Sima Hong, his name is Qinglong, and he is quite elegant.

Seeing the Empress Dowager Li, he saluted respectfully and called the queen mother.

When Empress Dowager Li saw Emperor Qinglong, the smile on her face faded.

"Sit down." She casually pointed to the seat next to her, and then coldly ordered the palace maid beside her, "Serve tea to the emperor." ”

Emperor Qinglong did not sit, but looked at Sima Yue, who was sitting beside Empress Dowager Li.

So Sima Yue stood up with a very eye-catching look, saluted, and shouted, "Uncle Huang." ”

She was originally thinking about whether she should kneel when she saw the emperor or just salute casually.

If it is based on blood relationship, this can be regarded as a younger generation to meet the elders, just a salute, right? But if this is according to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, he is the king, and her father is a courtier in front of him, then she should kneel.

It's just that she feels that kneeling at every turn is really awkward for her, so forget it, it's better to bow and forget it. It's a big deal to make Emperor Qinglong think she is stupid and ignorant.

But Emperor Qinglong didn't mean anything annoyed on his face, but looked at her kindly and said, "This is Yue'er?" I remember that Ah Ye Xiushu came over at that time and said that he gave birth to a daughter, and he didn't want you to grow up so big in a flash. ”

This is not easy to accept, so Sima Yue only smiled politely, and echoed: "Yes." ”

I didn't want Empress Dowager Li to hear what Emperor Qinglong said, but she snorted lightly in her nose, and then said: "Speaking of Ah Ye, I, a mother, and you, a brother, haven't seen him for nearly twenty years." As a mother, I naturally think about him day and night, so I don't know if you, as a brother, want you, the only sibling brother? ”

This question was quite embarrassing, and Emperor Qinglong sneered on his face, and hurriedly said: "I only have Ah Ye, a fellow brother, and naturally I think about him day and night. ”

"You also know that Ah Ye is your only sibling brother? Then why did you do that to him back then? Empress Dowager Li was very indignant, and even her voice couldn't help but get louder.

And listening to what Empress Dowager Li said next, Sima Yue basically knew what happened back then, so he made King Jiangling angry, and he had not returned to the capital for 20 years.

It turned out that in addition to Emperor Qinglong and King Jiangling, the first emperor had three other sons. It's just that Emperor Qinglong and King Jiangling crawled out of the same mother's belly after all, so the relationship between them is naturally more intimate than that between other brothers. It's just that at that time, although Emperor Qinglong was a son-in-law, he was not the eldest son, and the prince of Great Xia was a son-in-law who could inherit it, and the eldest son could also inherit it, so Emperor Qinglong's identity at that time was quite embarrassing.

However, due to the pressure of the Li clan of Zhao County behind the Empress Dowager Li, the first emperor finally set up Emperor Qinglong as the prince. It's just that in this way, his eldest son is naturally not very convinced. But his mother's mother's status is low, and she can't compare with the Li family of Zhaojun at all, if she wants to fight, she can't compete with Emperor Qinglong.

Under such circumstances, he came up with a way for the snipe and the clam to compete and the fisherman to profit.

Emperor Qinglong is the bloodline of the Sima royal family and the Li family of Zhaojun, but so is the king of Jiangling. is the so-called heavenly family has no family affection, for a throne, brotherhood is nothing.

So this eldest son tried all kinds of tricks to confuse King Jiangling to fight for the position of prince, and thought that when Emperor Qinglong and King Jiangling were brothers and brothers, and both were defeated, then his eldest son would naturally be the next prince.

But King Gangneung was unwilling to betray his brother, so he simply sneered at this eldest son's mention and disdained it. can't stand the innocence of the husband and the guilt, since the eldest son is this wishful thinking, even if the king of Jiangling is unwilling, he has already released the rumor that the king of Jiangling wants to compete with Emperor Qinglong for the prince, and he has fabricated a series of facts to prove it.

And Emperor Qinglong was a suspicious person, so he naturally became wary of King Jiangling. King Jiangling was not a stupid person, so he naturally sensed Emperor Qinglong's wariness of him. In the end, although he helped Emperor Qinglong get rid of the eldest son, the old friendship between the two brothers was no longer there. And in order to prevent Emperor Qinglong from being wary of him again in the future, he simply asked for a fief and took his princess away from the capital, and has not set foot in the capital for nearly 20 years.

After Empress Dowager Li finished saying this, she stretched out her index finger and pointed at Emperor Qinglong, and said angrily: "Tell me what you are doing here." You and Ah Ye grew up together, you don't know who he is? He respects you as a brother the most in his heart. is to hear someone gossip about you behind your back, he has to step forward to reason with others, so he will rob you of the position of prince? It's just a treacherous villain's deliberate remarks with ulterior motives, and you actually listened to it? The harmful Ah Ye is extremely disappointed in you, and you are far away from the sad land of the capital, and I have not seen Ah Ye once in all these years. It's Yue'er, now she's fourteen years old, and I, the imperial grandmother, have only seen her for the first time. Tell me, are you worthy of Ah Ye and me? ”

After thinking about it, she added: "But are you worthy of Yue'er?" ”

Sima Yue is embarrassed.

She thinks there's nothing she has to do here, right? What is wrong with Emperor Qinglong? This Empress Dowager Li's logic is indeed too powerful.

But Emperor Qinglong listened to Empress Dowager Li's accusation, but his face was full of shame and he had nothing to say.

The events of that year, he recalled it countless times afterwards, and felt that Ah Ye was indeed to blame. It's just that at that time, he had already ascended the throne as the emperor, and he always couldn't wipe his face to say sorry to Ah Ye, I blamed you back then. How do you know that Ah Ye is also a stubborn temper, and he has not entered the capital again for so many years. It was this time that Sima Yue came to the capital to go to school, and he didn't come with him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qinglong glanced at Sima Yue.

I had long heard that his niece was arrogant and domineering, but now I saw her in a white shirt and pink skirt, standing there quietly, very well-behaved.

He thought about it for a while, and then he made a decision.

"Changqing," he cleared his throat and called to the inner prison who had followed him.

The inner eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and asked, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"It is decreed that the lord of Duanhua will be the princess of Duanhua."

Sima Yue:

What's going on? She just stood here for a while, why did Emperor Qinglong suddenly want to promote her to princess?

What Emperor Qinglong thought was that he was indeed ashamed of Ah Ye, and the most important thing was that the queen mother had blamed him for Ah Ye's affairs over the years. He wanted to make amends and make the queen mother happy, but Ah Ye was already the king of Jiangling, and if the title rose further, he could only be the emperor. And since Ah Ye and the queen mother value Sima Yue so much, it is better to promote her county lord title to princess, so that everyone will be happy.

Emperor Qinglong had a good calculation, but Empress Dowager Li was not a vegetarian.

"Hmph," she snorted lightly, but when she heard that Emperor Qinglong promoted Sima Yue to princess, her face finally looked a little better, "Is it enough to promote Yue'er to princess?" Ah Ye's letter said that he wanted Yue'er to enter the Royal Academy. ”

Emperor Qinglong glanced at Sima Yue in embarrassment.

Sima Yue couldn't help muttering in his heart. Why, look at what they mean, as a princess, this royal academy is not something she can enter if she wants to?

Her doubts rose in her heart, and she looked at Emperor Qinglong curiously.

Sure enough, I saw Ai Ai in the period of Emperor Qinglong saying there: "Queen Mother, you also know that although I am an emperor, I can't do anything about this royal academy. ”

"Naturally, I know that you can't be the master of the Royal Academy," Empress Dowager Li took over his words, "I also know that the current Dean Wang is a character, and no one sells face." Even if it's a royal child, if he can't look down on it, then don't think about entering the Royal Academy. Who, Queen Cui's daughter, isn't he very faceless, but I don't care how famous Dean Wang is, in short, I only know that this is the first time in the past 20 years that Ah Ye has begged me to do something, and I have to do it for him. So I don't care what method you use, whether it's a soft begging or direct pressure, in short, I must let Dean Wang accept my family Yue'er. ”

Emperor Qinglong really felt embarrassed in his heart.

Wang Jun is from the Taiyuan Wang family. When he was young, he was learned and demeanor shocked Jinghua, and he took over the position of the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan when he was weak, and he was really a character.

It's just that he has little interest in his career, and would rather live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his confidants and drink freely in the moon than go to the capital as an official. In the end, it was Emperor Qinglong who surrendered his identity and went to Taiyuan in person to visit the thatched cottage three times, which invited him to serve as the dean of the Royal Academy.

But since he asked someone to be the dean, he naturally had to listen to him in everything. Wang Jun is also strange, he accepts students, whether they are high or low, in short, but if he sees something pleasing to the eye, or thinks there is merit, then he will be admitted to the Royal Academy. Otherwise, even if you are the prince and princess, then don't even think of stepping into the Royal Academy.

Queen Cui's daughter, Princess Sima Yu of Anyang, didn't he confiscate it at the beginning.

But how can I say that Ah Yu is also a normal child, how can it be like this Yue'er, I heard that she is a little unclear in her brain.

It's just that the queen mother is pressing tightly

Emperor Qinglong sighed, and finally had to say: "Since the queen mother has said so, then tomorrow I will invite Dean Wang to come to me for dinner, and then I will tell him about Yue'er's matter." ”
