Chapter 465 Mother is more precious than son
"As far as I know, Chen Shuo was really born during the martial arts period, and he also has some martial arts." Yuan Ziyan said lightly.
The eldest grandson Wuji was dumbfounded, this is too far-fetched, and straightened his neck to defend: "National teacher, such inferences are difficult to convince the public!" ”
"But take it out and talk about it, who can guarantee that this martial character is not artificially made, even if it is true, presumably Lord Changsun did not dream of God in the middle of the night, listen to him say to you personally, right?" Yuan Ziyan asked rhetorically.
The eldest grandson Wuji choked for a while, unwilling to be left behind, and after holding back for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, everyone has their own selfish intentions, and the national teacher and that Wu Mei have a strong relationship, so they naturally ignore the safety of the Tang Dynasty and defend it." The minister believes that this martial word corresponds to Wu Mei! ”
"My lord, since it comes to selfishness, I don't understand why you stared at me before, but now you are staring at Wu Mei, and you are unwilling to kill our mother. In addition to those high-sounding Tang Sheji and other high-sounding talk, let's also talk about what your selfishness is? Yuan Ziyan's face suddenly turned cold.
The eldest grandson Wuji naturally refused to admit it: "I am selfless in my heart!" ”
"Then I'll tell you for you!" Yuan Ziyan said: "Your Majesty, most of the rewards received by the court have been used by these eldest grandsons to win over the Guanlong family, except for a few former ministers of the first emperor, the court has almost become the world of his eldest grandson Wuji. Moreover, the eldest grandson Wuji is nepotistic, and his sons and clan members are all responsible for important responsibilities at a young age. And I, Yuan Ziyan, am an alternative, helpless, and several brothers in life and death are also from cloth clothes, to put it bluntly, they represent the interests of the children of the poor family, and it must be the adults who look at me and get in the way. I want to eradicate it and change the name of the court! ”
"You?!" The eldest grandson Wuji was so angry that he couldn't speak, who in the world didn't think about the interests of his clan. But he definitely didn't have the idea of usurping the throne, "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson's family is loyal to Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Ziyan is alarmist, Your Majesty must not trust her!" ”
"Uncle, it's cold on the ground. Hurry up. Li Zhi remained silent, he didn't know that his uncle's power was getting bigger and bigger. There are also many twists and turns in the impeachment of foreign relatives and power, but their merits are high, and they affect a hundred things, but it is the national teacher who dares to do it. Can scold a few words to your face. It can be regarded as a wake-up call for him.
"Uncle, mother-in-law, don't quarrel, in the end, it's all for my own good. But uncle, no matter what this martial character represents, Wu Mei is the person I love in my heart, her gentleness and demureness, and her wit is outstanding. Presumably my uncle also knows, not to mention that she is still the biological mother of my emperor. Naturally, I want to be kind to her. Otherwise, for a sake of an unwarranted matter, they will be driven out of the palace, and many people in the world will complain about the lack of affection, like the new and hate the old. Li Zhi said calmly.
"Your Majesty, there are many women in the Houcourt, from Gaozu to Taizong, the ministers have never commented much. It's just that this martial arts is related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and it must be guarded against! The eldest grandson Wuji said earnestly.
"Your Majesty, I really think of one thing, Wu Mei does have something to do with this Chen Shuozhen. After Chen Shuozhen lost his husband, he was a monk in Ganye Temple, and speaking of which, he was Wu Mei's senior sister. Yuan Ziyan laughed.
Li Zhi was relieved and said: "Uncle, this matter is clear, of course, this Chen Shuozhen can't be underestimated, so please trouble my uncle to deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”
"Your Majesty, that Wu Mei?"
"The emperor is still young, so he will be fed by Wu Mei until he is one year old. When the time comes, whether to leave or stay is up to the uncle. Li Zhi made the biggest concession.
The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, the emperor said that he had said this, what else could he insist on, but he had to return in vain, and the more he thought about it after returning home, the more depressed he became, and even a small illness, as if he had seen the crisis of the Guanlong clan, and it was only ten days before he was fine.
Also sick because she couldn't think about it, there was also Queen Wang, Wu Mei gave birth to a beautiful son as she wished, and was named Li Hong by Li Zhi on the spot, if it wasn't for taking care of the emotions of the rest of the concubines, plus Wu Mei was not titled at that time, otherwise the child would have to be crowned king.
On the issue of heirs, all the women in the back court are geniuses, they are not as careless as men, and almost all of them can see that this Wu Mei has taken root in the back court.
And since she had a child, Wu Mei was also taken to Meng Lanxuan by Yuan Ziyan, which is equivalent to breaking away from the control of the main hall, and the queen is busy working in vain, making wedding clothes for others, and her heart is extremely aggrieved, and she has nowhere to vent.
After a winter snowfall, Queen Wang invaded the cold, fell ill in the end, and had a fever for half a month.
The main hall was deserted, thinking of the eldest grandson empress who also lived here, maybe she was waiting for His Majesty's figure every day and couldn't get her wish. It's just that Empress Changsun is lucky, she has so many children, and she has become an emperor in her own flesh and blood, as far as a woman is concerned, this is enough.
Queen Wang sighed for a long time, and was in a depressed mood, and the rest of the concubines did not dare to get close, but on this day, Concubine Xiao Shu brought someone here, and she was still holding her favorite Persian cat in her arms, which was snow-white and seemed to be human.
"I've seen my sister, is my sister safe?" Concubine Xiao smiled and bowed slightly.
The queen gave her a blank look and didn't speak, does this need to be said, who will still lie on the bed when he is cured. "Borrowing my sister's auspicious words, it's already good."
"Yo, I've been sick for so many days, why hasn't it been eradicated? I'm afraid it's a heart disease that is difficult to treat, right? Concubine Xiao Shufei leaned in and whispered.
The queen struggled to prop herself up and scolded angrily: "Concubine Shu, are you here to see my liveliness? Bengong miscalculated for a while, who would have thought that Wu Mei's fortune was so good, and under the danger, she would rise step by step! ”
"Sister, why can't you tell the difference between distance and proximity at this time? The two of us were sisters when they were in the East Palace, what was Wu Mei at that time, but she was just a small talent, as the so-called mud can't support the wall, Wu Mei is almost thirty years old, and she can be favored for a few years? Concubine Xiao seemed to be comforting Queen Wang, and she also seemed to be comforting herself.
"Hey, how old can a woman be in her youth?" Queen Wang touched her face with self-pity and sighed: "You all have your own sons, but what about this palace? In a few years, the palace will also be old, and this main hall is afraid that it will become a cold palace. ”
Concubine Xiao Shu's eyes turned red, she handed the cat to the palace maid, took Queen Wang's hand, and said, "Sister, my sister used to be ignorant, and she always wanted to compete. Because my sister thinks that my sister is a generous person, no matter what my sister does wrong, my sister will forgive. But only now do I know that the higher the title, the greater the danger, that Wu Mei seduced His Majesty as a nun, and also won a man in one fell swoop, and at this time there was a national teacher to support it, I knew that I was jealous of the wrong person before. Sister! ”
Queen Wang looked at Concubine Xiao Shu incredulously, did she apologize to herself at this time? The sun is really coming out of the west!
"Hey, I know my sister is suspicious, if it weren't for Wu Mei, I might not know who the real sister is until I die." Concubine Xiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "In the past, my sister was favored and carried away, and she didn't consider her sister's feelings at all. ”
"Lady Lady, it's hard for you to think so." Queen Wang was aggrieved in her heart, and she couldn't help shedding tears, it was already unbearable to keep the boudoir empty every day, not to mention that the person who knew that she was waiting was happy with other women, and being a woman was equivalent to suffering.
The two sympathized with each other, and changed from hostile identities to allies, in fact, it is not uncommon in the palace, it is nothing more than uniting to bring down Wu Mei with a greater advantage.
At this time, Wu Mei returned to her old residence, Meng Lanxuan, holding Li Hong, who had just fallen asleep, in her arms, staring without blinking.
"Hehe, I've been watching it for a long time, don't be tired." Yuan Ziyan laughed.
"Auntie, can I also call you stepmother like Your Majesty?" Wu Mei looked up and asked.
"Hehe, it's nothing more than a title, whatever you want to call it."
"Mother-in-law!" Wu Mei screamed sweetly and sighed: "It's so good, it's like being in your own home." ”
"Silly girl, you've lived here longer than you've been in your own home, and of course it's home."
The two were talking, and as a burst of aroma wafted by, Wu Mei's tonic soup was delivered, it should have been boiled for a long time, and the meat and tendons were melted into the soup, which was very thick and viscous.
The maid gently took Li Hong away, Wu Mei picked up the bowl, frowned slightly, and drank it in one gulp as if she was drinking medicine, and then hurriedly stuffed a few pieces of fruit in her mouth to suppress it.
"Paulie, this soup is too greasy, if it doesn't work, drink less." Yuan Ziyan said distressedly.
"My stepmother doesn't know that Hong'er eats a lot of food, and only by drinking more soup will the milk be abundant." Wu Mei wiped her mouth and said disapprerovingly.
"In the future, when you boil the soup, remove all the oil slick on it." Yuan Ziyan still turned around and told the palace maid.
"It's because Wu Mei is too selective, these foods are placed among the people, and they are not affordable for ordinary people." Wu Mei said gratefully.
"Having said that, if you are too oily, adults will gain weight, and it will be difficult to lose weight when the time comes." Yuan Ziyan lovingly tidied up Wu Mei's somewhat messy hair, and admonished: "Although I love the child, I can't see him as everything. Paula, you should know that what can really rely on your mother and son is Zhi'er. ”
"Bollywood understands."
"You don't understand." Yuan Ziyan scolded softly, "Look at you, for the sake of the child, there is no regular rest, and you don't pay attention to dressing up, how can Your Majesty be happy when you see it?" As the so-called woman is a person who pleases herself, no matter what time it is, she has to dress herself up beautifully. ”
"Hey, it's really unintentional. Maybe when Hong'er is older, I'll leave the palace, and who will I dress up for when the time comes? Wu Mei was sad.
"You can't give up until the last moment. The future is the future, and the present is the present. Yuan Ziyan said firmly. (To be continued......)
