What the Queen Mother didn't expect was that the people serving beside her actually had the eyeliner planted by Concubine E, and today's conversation between the Queen Mother and Fujin was quickly known by Concubine E. This concubine is not a little white flower on the surface, from the identity of Baylor Mansion Fujin to the concubine Niangniang is not all dependent on the emperor's favor, if she herself has no intention of entering the palace, how can she hook up with the emperor? This road to the palace is very difficult, to withstand the pressure of morality and ethics, to resist the pressure of being scolded as a slut by the royal family, and to resist the public opinion of the people, the thoughts and costs paid are not something that ordinary women can do.

After getting the news of the eyeliner, Concubine E curled the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, and said in her heart: "Old Qianwu, you finally have a handle in my hand!" If you are fine, you will damage me a few words, and I will show my face in front of all the concubines at every turn, and see how I clean you up! ”

The Queen Mother really looked down on Concubine Dong E, although she didn't do well herself, but she secretly communicated with her brother-in-law for the sake of her son's country, and many royal relatives and the emperor's ministers also knew it, which was understandable. But what is Concubine E for? Is it really unforgettable to love the emperor? If the emperor is unforgettable for her, how can she still have children with other concubines?

On the surface, Concubine E is filial to the Queen Mother, she never says a bad word about the Queen Mother in front of the emperor, and even many times she persuades the Queen Mother to persuade the emperor, many people say how virtuous Concubine E is, how empathetic. But since she entered the palace, the contradiction between the queen mother and the emperor has become deeper and deeper, and it has not been alleviated in any way. Concubine E is very good at talking back, but she doesn't show a trace.

"Your Majesty, can the concubine ask you something?"

"Okay, what does Concubine Ai want to ask?"

"Can people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs go shopping in the private sector?"

"Absolutely. Many of the goods in the market are not available in the palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a person who is in charge of purchasing goods from the market. What's wrong? ”

"The concubine heard that someone in the Internal Affairs Office bought a special and beautiful sachet from a Nalan department store, and the queen mother liked it so much. The concubine really wanted to see that sachet, so she wanted to make one for the emperor as it was. ”

There is no trace of this accusation. At least Concubine E told the emperor four pieces of information, the Internal Affairs Office, Nalan Department Store, the Queen Mother, and the sachet. It is also true to say that one for the emperor is very good, and Concubine E's needlework is quite good, especially for delicate and delicate things such as sachets.

The emperor smiled, hugged Concubine E, pointed at her nose and said, "You women are all cautious, including the emperor's mother, you like those beautiful and delicate gadgets." Catch up with Ming'er, I want you to come from Eniang. ”

"Don't, don't! It's not a concubine's specialty to win people's love, so you can borrow it from your concubine. After the concubine did so, she immediately returned it to the emperor's mother. The emperor likes it so much, why do you have to make the old man angry. It's better for the concubine to tell the emperor herself, otherwise, if you speak for the concubine on that occasion, what will the other sisters think. ”

"It's okay or not, E-Niang won't refute your face."

"The concubine heard that there are more than 20 diamonds on that sachet, which is very beautiful."

"Wouldn't it? Will the buyer pay attention to the diamond set in the sachet? ”

"This is just what the concubine heard, just listen to it. Prince Rui will not let himself lose money to do business. Could it be that diamonds are cheap in the Exotic Place, or ......"

"What do you say?"

"If the concubine doesn't say it, don't say it." Concubine E and the emperor are coquettish, and if many words are spoken, they will be tasteless. Concubine E's mother was actually not only hinting at the emperor, but also suing the prince. Fortunately, the emperor didn't care about what Concubine E said, his mind was on the things discussed in the court. The next dynasty came to Concubine E's dormitory, there are many things that Concubine E can persuade him and give him an idea, other concubines like Concubine Tong are very afraid of the emperor, and the emperor doesn't dare to say anything in front of him, so it's strange that the emperor can like it.

The next morning, when Concubine E asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, she told the Queen Mother what she meant, and the Queen Mother said: "It's not that the palace won't lend you, the sachet has been burned." ”

Concubine E was very puzzled: "How could it be? You don't see any signs of fire here, do you? ”

The Queen Mother said unhappily: "You have to have a fire in Cining Palace to burn the sachet?" A soldering iron will do the trick. ”

Concubine E blinked her big watery eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, waiting for an answer puzzled.

"Yesterday, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought a particularly beautiful sachet from the Nalan Department Store, with more than 20 small particles that looked like diamonds. The palace thought about how the Rui Wangfu could inlay the diamond into the sachet, so he invited the Tong family to solve the puzzle. As a result, Tong used a red-hot soldering iron to solder the diamond, which melted at once, and burned the sachet. Any questions? ”

Concubine E knelt in front of the Queen Mother very intimately, and while gently beating her legs, she said casually: "The concubine also heard from the emperor about the Nalan Department Store, which sells things that are not available in the Qing Dynasty, and the concubines can't go out of the palace to buy them, but they also want to see it." It is said that the goods there are very exquisite, and I also heard that the sachets are also inlaid with diamonds. I just want to make a wear for the emperor. ”

"The sachet in the hand of this palace was just given to this palace by someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how did you know so quickly? It's very well-informed. The Queen Mother seized the loophole in Concubine E's speech and asked closely, "The concubine also heard about it." ”

"Listen to whom?"

Concubine E was still very anxious, and said with a smile: "The concubine went for a walk in the imperial garden and saw Tong Fujin's master and servant passing by, so she asked the grandmother who walked by Tong Fujin's side why she entered the palace so early, and the grandmother said that it was the queen mother, you asked about the sachet." ”

Although there are many loopholes, the Queen Mother doesn't want to pursue it, after all, it is her son's pet, and it is not good to offend too hard, and it is appropriate to be kind on the surface.

The Queen Mother mentioned the sachet of Rui Wangfu again, thinking that it was not a diamond and it was sold cheaply, even if it was worthless, the embroidery and blessing on it were authentic Su embroidery, and the society of the Qing Dynasty still cherished embroidery, especially Su embroidery, a piece of Su embroidery made of cheongsam had to pay dozens of taels of silver. Even the sachet is very small, and it is also embroidered on both sides, so why do you have to sell it for one or two taels of silver, right? It's sold for 200 wen, it's too casual, right?

Yun'er was practicing the brushwork and ink techniques of freehand flower and bird painting that she had learned from Lan Lan, and sneezed three times in succession. Yun'er lived in a foreign land for a year, although her concept has changed a lot, but there are still many superstitious thoughts of the Qing people in her mind, and she said to the fish that accompanied her: "Who scolded me behind my back, sneezed early in the morning." Don't catch a cold, my son and daughter still have to eat my milk. ”

Yu'er didn't even think about it and said: "The only one who scolds you behind your back is the beard." ”

Wang Ye Fujin and Yun'er never dreamed that before the business of the mansion officially began, a sachet would be remembered by others. This obstacle does not come from business opponents, nor from the troublemakers of ruffians and hooligans, but from the queen mother, the beneficiary of business!

The Queen Mother is very shrewd, so shrewd that she treats everyone else as a fool. The prince said that he wanted to add silver to the treasury, and he didn't want the emperor's penny as capital, and anyone should regard the prince's idea as a high-level behavior. But the queen mother's idea is different, she thinks that doing business is an errand that the prince himself begged for, and she regards the prince's worries for the country and the emperor as unbearable, because she is afraid of losing the emperor's favor. Perhaps, the status of man determines the mind of man? The queen mother has always put her son's country and dragon chair in the first place, and that dragon chair is also her reliance on becoming the queen mother. But if you do it, you take yourself too seriously and use other people's lives as stepping stones, you will lose people's hearts. Heaven doesn't blindly tolerate the rulers of the world, does it? Otherwise, how could Qin Shi Huang die II?

The queen mother also knows that Prince Rui is not only the emperor's minister, but also the brother who saved the emperor's life, and is a member of the royal family. There are more than a dozen half-brothers in the emperor, six or seven who are still alive, and there are cousins, nephews, and cousins, adding up to more than 20. If the emperor and the queen mother do something that hurts their hearts, the emperor will betray their relatives in the future. The queen mother will not do stupid things to offend people for her son, of course, those who really have bad intentions and seek power and usurp the throne must not be tolerated.

The Queen Mother is really a little unsure of how to treat the prince. It's a good thing for him to make money for the emperor, but just making money for the emperor has no other purpose?

The Queen Mother went to Shengjing from the Horqin Prairie and married the Manchu Great Khan Emperor Taiji at that time, which was destined for her life to roll on the tip of the knife of power. It's better to be high and high than to be low, so she can't let go of power, for fear of losing it. When she knew that her husband had intended to give the heir to the throne to Fuyou, the second son who had been a monk for more than ten years, although Emperor Shunzhi did not even have a shadow at that time, it made the Queen Mother very uneasy. She knew that this position should belong to her lover Dolgon, not the emperor's eldest son Haoge, who was qualified to lead the troops to fight, and he couldn't be in charge of the country at all. The blessing of being a monk for more than ten years cannot have anything to do with the imperial power. Monks are based on kindness, where someone rebels, he is reluctant to kill, which minister has the heart of disobedience, he is reluctant to deal with it, what is the emperor's authority to speak of? Whoever is blessed by the emperor is not qualified! But why did Emperor Taizong think of him? There's a talk here.

In fact, it was just Huang Taiji's anger at that time, and some people said that Fuyou was not his son, so he gave up the throne to this son, proving that he was a dragon and had the conditions to be an emperor.

In modern parlance, the Queen Mother is a politician, and she thinks about issues completely differently from ordinary people. Fuyou did not become the emperor, it does not mean that he does not want to be the emperor, nor does it mean that he does not have the talent to be the emperor. Maybe it's just hibernating, waiting for the right time.

Now, she is very jealous of the prince, she can say anything bad about anyone in front of the emperor, but she can't say how the prince is doing, if she says that her son will turn against her! The existence of the prince is like a hard thorn piercing the throat of the queen mother, unable to spit it out or swallowed. has dealt with Rui Wang Ye and Tong for many years, and he has not removed this thorn from his heart.

Now, Prince Rui took the initiative to mention in front of the emperor that he wanted to make money in business and send it to the treasury to help the emperor, which was a great favor in the eyes of others. But the queen mother felt that the things inside were not simple, how could she take her own money to make money and then hand it over to the emperor?

The Queen Mother was thinking about it in Cining Palace, thinking about how to disarm all the property brought back by Prince Rui and putting it at her disposal, thinking about how much property he had brought back and what he had brought back from a foreign land. Although the diamond business has just ended, it turns out that it is indeed not diamond. The Queen Mother was still unwilling.

A few days later, Fujin was "invited" by the Queen Mother to Cining Palace, and after the ceremony, the Queen Mother said cordially: "Xiu'er, your house is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." ”

Fu Jin was taken aback, the Queen Mother has always been targeted when talking to people. Hurriedly with a sincere and frightened expression: "Queen Mother, what do you mean ......?"

"Hehehe, look at your scare. This palace is saying, the little woman married by Prince Rui is not simple. The palace thought that Lord Rui married her to enter the mansion to give birth to children, where did he think that people still have so much ability and financial resources. ”
