Chapter 7 Empress Dowager Yanlan
The arrogant and domineering Empress Yanlan became the calm and dignified Empress Dowager Yanlan, when the Northern Qi ascended the throne eleven years ago, many people said that the queen killed her brother because she was crazy and was angry with her father. But after so many years, everyone said that Empress Yanlan was righteous and awe-inspiring, so there would be a peaceful situation in the Northern Qi Kingdom today.
"What, what do the people say?"
"The people all say that after a long time, the Queen Mother is the person who is really good for the Northern Qi Kingdom and the people of the Northern Qi Kingdom."
"Haha, Chang Gui, look at it, this little guy is really sweet."
The Queen Mother heard that Northern Qi had handed over a letter of state to Qingguo, saying that she wanted to make peace, and she felt very uncomfortable. Chang Gui exposes the Queen Mother,
'When the emperor grows up, he should marry a queen. ’
But the Queen Mother was even more angry, and said something,
Didn't the mourners find him a suitable woman? Either thrown into the cold palace or not touched. ’
Chang Gui said,
It may be that the emperor met Gongzhu of Qingguo when he was young. There are people in their hearts, so other women are not interested. As long as you marry him to the queen, he will slowly get better in the future. ’
The Queen Mother will always listen to what Chang Gui said, although she thinks what Chang Gui said makes sense. But I still am very taboo about the emperor marrying the princess of Qingguo, I don't know how much effort I put into it in order to cut off the connection with Qingguo, but now I just say that I want to marry the princess of Qingguo, is it to hit myself?
Chang Gui also felt that Beiqi's move this time was too sudden, at least he never told him. He also felt that the Queen Mother's heart was not completely persuaded by him, so he specially tried to ask Xiao Lizi to find this clever little ghost to please the Queen Mother.
"Grandma, oh, no, no, no, no, Queen Mother."
The little clever ghost said the wrong thing, and immediately knelt on the ground to admit the mistake to the Queen Mother, and Xiao Lizi immediately opened his mouth to scold the child,
"Little ghost. What's wrong with you! ”
"The slave remembers that when he was a child, he also had a grandmother who took him in, and at that time, Nian Ai was also so gentle and talked to the slave, so, so. Just ......"
The little ghost was about to cry as he spoke, and the Queen Mother felt pity when she saw the child's pitiful appearance.
"Oh, what's the matter, come to grandma's soon, little baby."
Xiao Lizi heard the Queen Mother say this. I was happy in my heart, it seems that the Queen Mother really likes this child very much. That's right, the Queen Mother took the child's hand, pulled the sobbing child over and hugged it into her arms, and wiped the tears off the child's face with a handkerchief.
"Little Lizi, from now on, this child can call the mourning family whatever he wants, you remember it for the mourning family."
Xiao Lizi hurriedly knelt in front of the Queen Mother, respectfully kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and said it over and over again.
"The Queen Mother spares her life, Xiao Lizi knows that she is wrong, she knows that she is wrong."
Chang Gui felt that his goal had been achieved, and he was also very satisfied with Xiao Lizi's class. The queen mother has no children of her own, and when the eldest prince of the previous dynasty died, she was so old, and the issue of the emperor's marriage was discussed.
Chang Gui took a piece of osmanthus cake that the Queen Mother liked to eat from the pastry plate on the table, and bent down to hand it to the child while the Queen Mother was wiping the child's tears. Looking at the child with a smile,
"Come, you taste. This is the Queen Mother's favorite snack. ”
When the child saw the snack in Chang Gui's hand, he immediately stopped crying, but he didn't reach out directly to take it, but glanced at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother felt that the child's eyes were clear and lovely. I liked it very much, so I took the osmanthus cake in Chang Gui's hand and handed it to the child.
The child took it, opened his mouth and stuffed the whole osmanthus cake into his mouth.
Chang Gui smiled and said,
"This kid only eats the Queen Mother's reward."
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Chang Gui, and gave him a very shyly glance, but did not speak.
In the eyes of outsiders. To the truth, parents are coaxing their children like that.
The child looked at the Queen Mother and Chang Gui with wide eyes, and when both of them began to look at him again, they smiled happily.
"Queen Mother, this is also the minion's favorite snack."
The child's fleshy face and immature child's voice made everyone laugh when he said such funny things. The Queen Mother was even more happy, and kept touching the child's little head. Chang Gui also pushed the whole plate of osmanthus cake closer to the table. The child looked at the Queen Mother with pleading eyes, and the Queen Mother nodded with joy,
"You can eat as much as you want!"
Saying that, the Queen Mother personally picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and sent it to the child's mouth.
The most bulging of the children, and muttered,
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
"Little Lizi, where did you find such a living treasure?"
Although Xiao Lizi was still kneeling on the ground at this time, she felt that it was worth it when she saw that the Queen Mother liked this child so much.
"Hui Niangniang, this child was given by a relative in the slave's family. It's also a child who picked it up, but I think this child is too clever and cute, and I think it's a pity that the poor people raise it themselves, so I handed it over to the slave. The slave also felt that the child was pleasing to him, so he recognized his godson, this is the slave on duty today, and no one took care of him, so he brought him too, and he didn't think that the mother would find out. ”
"Oh, that's right. What a miserable child. ”
The Queen Mother touched the child's hair with pity, and asked,
"Then what's the name of this kid, did you give it to you?"
Xiao Lizi gave the child a name, and when he just wanted to answer, he saw Chang Gui making a look, and immediately understood.
"The minion thought about it a lot, but he felt that there was no one who could match it, so he was still a little ghost and a little ghost screaming like this."
The Queen Mother frowned, and glanced at Xiao Lizi reproachfully,
"What does such a cute child call a little ghost like, grandma will give you a name, okay?"
The first half of the sentence is harsh on Xiao Lizi, and the second half of the sentence is said softly to the child in his arms. The little one was busy eating, but nodded anyway,
"Just call it, just call it Gong Min. The shrewd little guy in the palace. ”
Xiao Lizi hurriedly buckled his head and thanked him,
"The child is not sensible, and the slave replaces Gong Min Xie and the Empress Dowager to give the name."
The Queen Mother happily looked at the little guy in her arms, kept teasing, and didn't take care of the little plum anymore. Chang Gui gave Xiao Lizi a look and called Xiao Lizi aside.
"Xiao Lizi, your godson has to take care of you, and it is indispensable to earn face for you."
Little Plum bent down,
"Thank you for your advice."
After finishing speaking, Chang Gui waved his hand, meaning to ask Xiao Lizi to retreat first. On the contrary, Chang Gui himself, returned to the Queen Mother or something, and teased Xiao Gongmin with the Queen Mother. Xiao Lizi happily turned around to leave, but at this time he saw the emperor with a gloomy face. Although Northern Qi doesn't go out, even the closest palace people don't often see the emperor, but as a person close to the Queen Mother, Xiao Lizi has seen it once or twice.
"Emperor,"
As soon as Xiao Lizi made a sound, he was immediately covered by his face. After Xiao Lizi signaled that he would not be born, the flower face was released, and Xiao Lizi immediately knelt on the ground, and his head hit the ground without daring to be ambiguous.
Bei Qi just stood there and watched the Queen Mother and Chang Gui tease the child who had just been named Gong Min, and then turned around and left. I didn't go far out, and I looked at the flower face as if talking to myself, and said,
"It seems that the Queen Mother is missing her grandson, let's hurry up and get her a daughter-in-law back." (To be continued.) )
