196 Queen Mother
In April, the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, the fiftieth birthday banquet, the emperor was pure filial piety, prepared nine hundred and eighty-one tables of palace imperial meals, and feasted the courtiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, but the queen of the first emperor, but she is not the original concubine, but the concubine who was established after the death of the queen Yuan. Although she has no children in her life, she has two princesses under her knees, both of whom are married, because the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor is very good, and the life of the two eldest princesses is also extremely comfortable.
The queen mother has no children, naturally will not miss this court dragon seat, after the emperor goes, only two daughters are concerned, since there is the emperor to take care of, she will be relieved to be her hand of the queen mother, Xu is because of this, it is very much loved by the emperor.
Luo Ziqian is destined but not among the ladies, because he is a little more generous than he is older, but the seat position is still slightly back, but he happens to sit side by side with the princess of the Dingguo general, the grandfather and grandson look at each other and smile, describing the intimacy, not at all noticeable.
"This queen mother is also a wonderful person." Luo Ziqian whispered in Xia Chu's ear with the help of the palace maid's cloth: "I look, I can bear it better than you." If these words were placed in her previous life when she was young, she would be half mockery and half pity, but this time, she really admired it. Tolerance doesn't have to be cowardly, sometimes it's wisdom of life.
"There are more people in this world who can endure than me." Xia Chu smiled slightly and replied.
Luo Ziqian will say this because during the period of filial piety, there were a lot of gossips in the palace. first revealed that the previous emperor was seriously ill not because he was sick, but because he was poisoned, and the murderer was the first second princess who died violently for some reason in the early years, which set off a lot of turmoil in the court. But although this news spread well among the people, there was no turmoil in the court, and it should be because those important ministers knew about the events of the year.
Now that you know, there's no point in going through old accounts.
Later, he said that the second princess was instructed by today, but in the end she was killed. Emperor Dao Xian retired to the Emperor Taishang, and now he is angry that someone is pointing fingers at his political views, so he repeats his old tricks.
This is actually the most untenable, just because there is a pulse case in the hospital, and you can ask the princess of Phoenix Mountain to testify, the first emperor has long run out of oil, and it was the princess who rescued it with a secret method, which gave her a few more years of vitality, that is, the princess left later, and the hospital has been recording the pulse case of the first emperor. The first of the doctors did not agree!
However, the more untrustworthy it is, the more people are willing to believe it, and the rumor intensifies.
It also coincided with the great drought in Shudong in the second year of Shouxiao, and some people even rumored that it was the son who rebelled against his father, and the heavenly punishment for the crime of killing his father was said to have a nose and eyes - but Shudong was a place where drought often occurred, but that year was particularly serious.
Because of this rumor, people's hearts fluctuated inside and outside the court, and the emperor also became impetuous.
In this matter, it was the Queen Mother who stood up, not only announcing the case of the first emperor to the world's doctors, but also showing that before the death of the first emperor, she had long been unable to move, she **** ate and lived with the first emperor, and she is still strong and strong, so it can be seen that the words of poisoning are nonsense.
The emperor was overjoyed, and was ordered by the Empress Dowager to investigate and punish the people who spread rumors, and the Empress Dowager's second daughter's concubine, Jiang Jue, provided evidence that it was the Nine Princes - that is, the former Nine Emperor Zimen.
The world can guess that it must be the Nine Emperors who are dissatisfied with the current succession, so they maliciously slander.
It is a serious crime to slander the emperor, but the affection of flesh and blood is difficult to break, and the emperor ordered all the disciples under the Nine Kings to ask for the guilt, but Yu Jiu Wang Ye only applied for the punishment, so that he thought about it behind closed doors - and then found out that the Nine Princes drank alcohol during their filial piety and had fun with their concubines.
Until now, the Nine Princes have become famous in the capital, describing themselves as decadent and sluggish.
Whoever is cut off all his wings can only accept his fate to be the bird in the cage, and he will also be decadent and languishing.
This emperor really played a good game of chess - who knows who spread the message all over the capital in the first place?
The Nine Princes are not without suspicion, but with his usual temper, he may not do such a sneaky thing. His temper burst, when the second prince was crowned the crown prince, he dared to throw his face to show the emperor, and the emperor just sighed and let him go. Even when the crown prince ascended the throne and the first emperor abdicated, he also mocked the new emperor in person, and was reprimanded by the emperor for a few words, and then put him back in the house.
Therefore, it is a well-known thing for the Nine Emperor Princes to be favored.
The Seven Emperors were scheming, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he fell to the new emperor's faction, while the Nine Emperors were gloomy, unruly, and never willing to bow down. This time, the Nine Emperor Princes were deflated, and the emperor's faction was naturally very happy.
The emperor has always cherished his wings, and he will not try to damage his grand image in the hearts of the people of the world and do such a self-degrading thing. But there is no way to take the Nine Princes all the time, people are forced to be anxious, and they may not jump off the wall in a hurry.
As for the Seven Princes, there is neither profit nor damage in this, and it seems that there is no motive, but it can't be guaranteed, he just wants to stir up a pool of troubled waters?
So, this has become an unsolved case.
However, these things are right and wrong, and those who have a discerning eye see in their eyes, but they do not remain in their hearts.
Justifying the emperor, the queen mother is a first-class meritorious hero, and her life in this harem is naturally more comfortable - even if her husband dies? When her husband was alive, she was never alone!
Don't look at the dignity of the woman who is above 10,000 people under one person, hugging the young princess beside her and whispering, just as if she is a good old lady, how can she sit in the next position without a fight?
A feast for thousands of years is just a blink of an eye.
After the banquet, Xia Chu had to go to the inner palace with all the ladies to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, but at this time, she was not by Luo Ziqian's side, but returned to Mrs. Gu and Wen's side.
Foreign women are not allowed to move around at will in the palace, and even if there is a summons, they can only follow the eunuchs and palace maids who pass the message. That is, at the Qianqiu Banquet, the emperor is happy with hundreds of officials outside, and there are palace maids and eunuchs everywhere, so that he can relax a little.
"Grandma the Queen Mother," the eldest princess lay on the lap of the Queen Mother, looking up with a simple little face and smiling childishly: "I wish the Queen Mother's grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea, a longevity better than Nanshan, and a full house of children and grandchildren." ”
The queen mother's heart jumped, she glanced down at the girl, sighed softly in her heart, and the corner of her eyes swept over the eldest princess's biological mother, Yu Guiren.
The jade nobleman touched the queen mother's gaze and hurriedly lowered his head.
The eldest princess is seven years old this year, the only child under the emperor's knees, because she was just a girl, the first princess didn't care, and she didn't hold herself to raise her, when she was in the prince's mansion, she was raised by her biological mother. Later, when she entered the palace, her biological mother only got the title of nobleman, and she was not qualified to raise a princess.
The Queen Mother is a philanthropic person, so naturally she will not stop their mother and daughter from seeing each other...... It's just that I didn't expect that this shallow eyelid has taught the child something!
The emperor is now almost forty, and he still has only one daughter, so he naturally loves this daughter in every way. But the emperor has no children after all, it is not a good omen, after filial piety, not to mention the muttering of the hundred officials, the emperor is also anxious, plus after holding it for a long time, he can finally be fortunate to be a palace concubine, and he is very fond of a few young concubines.
But although this jade nobleman is still young, he has an ordinary appearance, but he was a maid who served the palace when he drank and made a mistake, although he was given a name, but he has not been favored.
The emperor has never been a stupid person, since this palace person was pregnant once, he has suspected his own inner courtyard of the back house - some things about the first second prince and concubine have been lifted that veil, not to mention the first emperor's anger, it is himself, he hates it to death!
She lost her own child, and she couldn't find out the murderer, so she gave sterilization drugs to the side concubines and concubines all over the courtyard!
That woman is ruthless, even the first emperor dared to poison her, what is it to give her concubine some sterilization medicine? How can the emperor not be afraid of such a pillow person? simply took the risk of being suspicious, and told the emperor everything about it!
This should be considered a royal scandal, the first emperor was furious, not that he did not suspect this son, but he still decided to believe him once...... This matter cannot be spread outside, and can only be resolved privately. After confirming that there was no change in the second princess's maiden family, he simply and neatly took advantage of the fact that the first second princess did not know that she had been exposed, and made the first move!
General Gu is the confidant of the first emperor, and he should be the king to relieve his worries, which is what he saw on the day of the beginning of summer, the second princess fell into the water!
Of course, people can't die in the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion is just a reason to lead to 'violent death from a vicious disease'!
After the first emperor went, the emperor insisted on keeping filial piety, one was that he did feel guilty about the first emperor, the crazy woman wanted to be the queen and the queen mother, so she would do such crazy things, and the other was ...... The only women in the palace can give birth to children are the queen and Wu Qingyun, and the two of them, no matter which one they are, he doesn't want them to give birth to his eldest son.
Zhao Yanran has a noble status, the child she gave birth to is a son-in-law, it doesn't matter if she is the eldest son or not, but it must not be the eldest son. Otherwise, without pressure, how can a child grow up to be a qualified king?
As for Wu Qingyun, this woman is too ambitious, and there is a vicious light in her eyes from time to time, even if it is not for him, it also makes him stab in the back - he has already experienced a crazy woman, he must be cautious and cautious!
In this way, the matter of filial piety of pushing the boat down the river has been decided.
And now, too, the emperor is starting to get anxious.
But although he dotes on the palace concubines, he also knows that they can't be born. It was the jade nobleman who gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, and later he was also poisoned by the first second princess - he was just making a show, and when the news came out that there was still no palace concubine pregnant after a few months, the matter of selecting a newcomer to the palace became a matter of course!
However, the palace concubines don't know their physical condition, and the competition for favor is still very tight.
Yu Guiren thought that his eyes were hot, and he knew that he couldn't compete with others, so he set his goal on his only reliance - the eldest princess. Through the mouth of the eldest princess, it is implied that the emperor's son is thin, and he is the only one who has given birth, so it must be easier for her to give birth to another one than the other - once born and twice ripe!
What an idiot who can't get on the table!
When the eldest princess was a child, she was brought up by the jade nobles, and she was very close to her, and the queen mother was no matter how good she was, she couldn't compare to her mother, and she obeyed the orders of the jade nobles. Although she is young, she is also very smart, and she knows that this is not flattering, so she deliberately chose a queen mother who would never be angry with her to say these words!
Because she knows better than Yu Guiren in her heart that the Queen Mother is not the biological mother of her father, and she is just a face-saving love for her granddaughter!
The innocence of the eldest emperor's girl's words became more and more dirty with the woman's intentions, and the queen mother despised it, but she never got angry, but smiled and gently pinched the eldest princess's cheek, and chuckled: "The little mouth is so sweet...... Do you want a younger sibling? ”
Younger siblings or something...... She hadn't thought about it at all!
A trace of helplessness flashed in the eldest princess's eyes, and she nodded with a smile: "Yes, the granddaughter is alone in the palace, it's too boring." ”
The princess has a lot of schoolwork on weekdays, how can she be bored?
The Queen Mother touched her little head and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother's grandmother knows, and your father has to make an idea about this matter!" ”
When the jade nobleman heard this, his face couldn't help showing a trace of joy!
The palace concubines who didn't know why forcibly suppressed their jealousy, but the people who were as quick as Zhao Yanran took a sip of tea and covered the ridicule under their eyes with the smoke - stupid!
The emperor wants to spread the branches, of course, he wants to choose two new show girls to enter the palace, how can he go to find an old man who has not had a son and a half daughter for several years?
After a while, the queen mother said that she was tired, she wanted to take a rest, and let the ladies play in the garden by themselves, so that on this day, the imperial garden was open to them at will, and there was no need to worry about who collided, the palace concubines took advantage of this rare opportunity, and they also had their own families to see, of course, they would not stay in the imperial garden!
The ladies of the Xia family, the Liu family, and the Gu family subconsciously sat together, and without saying a few words, they saw the big palace maid in the queen's palace come to invite in person: "Niangniang said that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she missed the princess very much, and asked the princess to go over to talk about it." ”
The queen invited, so naturally she couldn't shirk it, and Xia Chu readily agreed.
When she arrived at the queen's palace, Zhao Yanran had already taken off the gorgeous but cumbersome queen's makeup, wore a light Luo dress, and was lying on the beauty couch waiting for her to come.
"See the queen's mother, the mother's mother."
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're polite again." Zhao Yanran got up and patted the vacant beauty couch on her side: "Sit down, just talk to me." Without waiting for her to refuse, she turned her head to look at the palace person beside her: "You all go down." ”
…… is still so willful, does it prove that the emperor is actually quite good to her?
"Summer ...... That's it, you are Yuan Min, I'll call you Yuan Min! At the beginning of the summer, Zhao Yanran also gave a big gift, and she wanted to participate in person, but the emperor stopped her - in the end, she was just the daughter of a petty official, even if her personal relationship was good, there was no reason for the queen to participate in person.
