Chapter 51 051 The Power of the House
Because the emperor was going to the early court, when he met the three of them, he asked a little about the basic situation, rewarded a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and silk and satin, and then went to the Taihe Hall with Long Yuze, leaving only the queen mother to talk to the two of them.
The queen mother and Chen Huiniang are the family and the aunt and nephew of the in-laws, Lin Ling feels like an outsider, extremely restrained.
"Hui Niang, are you still used to it in the palace?" The queen smiled and shook Chen Huiniang's hand, "This Yu Ze is also busy all day long, if you are idle and bored in the mansion, you might as well walk around the palace more, and you and my aunt and nephew can also get closer to each other." ”
Chen Huiniang smiled humbly: "As long as the queen does not dislike it, Huiniang should enter the palace to accompany the mother." ”
The aunt and nephew over there were so affectionate, but Lin Ling looked at his nose and nose, sat on a half-minute chair with his buttocks, and sat still in a regular manner. Although she is the head of the house in the palace, when she comes to this palace, especially on the territory of the queen's mother, she is really nothing. Looking at the intimacy between Chen Huiniang and the queen, I am afraid that I will find fault later.
The queen and Chen Huiniang talked about the things from the childhood to the day of marriage, from the market folk customs to the affairs of the palace, and the tea was added several times, finally, the queen remembered Lin Ling who was sitting on the side like a wood, and looked at Lin Ling affectionately: "You kid, why haven't you spoken since you came in?" ”
Are you not giving me a chance to speak? Besides, I don't have to talk, do I? Lin Ling slandered in his heart, but pretended to smile embarrassedly: "The concubine feels that she has benefited a lot when she listens to the queen's mother and Concubine Chen's speech, Niangniang doesn't have to take care of the concubine, presumably Concubine Chen still has a lot of thoughtful things to say to Niangniang." ”
The queen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It has only been seven days since you and Yu Ze got married, but the commotion is not small, all kinds of rumors in the capital have spread, have you heard of it yourself?" ”
Lin Ling naturally knew what the queen was referring to, and lowered his head and said: "It's all the concubine's fault, the concubine is young and doesn't understand many things, so it is inevitable that she will make mistakes." The prince had already scolded the concubine when he returned home from Wanfoshan that day, and the concubine would definitely correct her mistakes sincerely, and asked the queen to bear with her. ”
The more Lin Ling spoke, the lower her head drooped, and the slender bangs covered half of her face, making it impossible to see the expression on her face. Her attitude of bowing down and admitting her mistakes made the queen unable to find any thorns, and Lin Ling's words were also quite level, because she was young, she would naturally make more mistakes than Chen Huiniang, an older leftover girl. And the prince has already punished her, you, the queen mother, as an outsider, don't do it for you, right?
Lin Ling was secretly proud of his words, the queen's expression moved, and said lightly: "It's good that you know that you are wrong, you should pay more attention in the future, no matter how much the prince loves you, you should also take care of your own princess image, and you can't say that you will lose the face of the royal family!" ”
"Yes, the concubine must remember the teachings of the queen's mother." Lin Ling looked like he had obediently admitted his mistake.
The queen nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This palace also heard that you have cut the subordinates and expenses in the palace, but is there such a thing?" ”
Lin Ling confessed to everything, I don't know what this queen wants to do!
"I don't know what the specific situation is in this palace, but the life of a palace is so tight, let alone the emperor, even the palace can't sit idly by!" The queen's voice suddenly became a little colder, "You are too young after all, and no one in the family has taught you how to run a house. In this way, let Hui Niang assist you in the housekeeper in the future, so that outsiders will not see the joke! ”
"The queen's mother, the state has national laws, the family has family rules, and it is really against the norm to let a side concubine manage all the affairs of the palace." Lin Ling still hung his head, but there was a sneer on his lips, it turned out that the queen's purpose was to divide the power of her princess. Long Yuze asked her to think of driving Chen Huiniang out of the palace, if she had lost the right to run the family before this, then what qualifications did she have to reach an agreement with Long Yuze?
"Queen Mother, what the princess said is that Hui Niang is just a small side concubine, and she is not qualified to assist in the affairs of the palace." Chen Huiniang's eyes were red, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her voice was mournful, but her eyes were staring at Lin Ling hatefully.
"A good country has national laws, and families have family rules!" The queen said coldly, reached out and took a sip of the teacup, "If you manage the palace in an orderly manner, it will be okay, but you prefer a palace that is not tossed by you!" This palace is not the queen mother of Yu Ze's relatives, if the palace is a mess, it is not fair to be said that this palace is deliberately looking for trouble with Yu Ze? Whether you want to do this or not, the things that this palace has decided cannot be changed by anyone! From now on, Concubine Chen will assist the princess in managing all matters of the Qing Palace! ”
Lin Ling wrung his fingers tightly, wanting to say something, but he felt the pressure from the momentum around the queen, bit his lip, and gave up. She is a little woman alone in the queen's territory, where can she win the queen and Chen Huiniang? When she arrives at the palace, she can just think of taking back her rights, and besides, Long Yuze is also on her side.
Thinking about it like this, Lin Ling felt much better in his heart, and when he raised his head, he was smiling: "Yes, the queen's lesson is that Concubine Chen will assist in all the affairs of the palace in the future, and the concubines will definitely learn a lot, and they will not live up to the expectations of the queen." ”
The queen's face finally relaxed, and she continued to grab Chen Huiniang's hand and teach her how to run the house. Lin Ling listened on the side, and secretly remembered it in his heart. Before, she made all those messy things for the sake of Qilong Yuze, but now that they have reached peace terms, she has to work hard to be a good princess.
Coming out of the palace, Lin Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, she glanced at Chen Huiniang and found that she was exceptionally refreshed.
Long Yuze won't return to his house until the next dynasty, so there are only Lin Ling and Chen Huiniang in the whole carriage, but the atmosphere in this small carriage is not much better. Lin Ling had just been divided into half of the rights, and he must have felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, thinking about what to do in the future and having to discuss with Chen Huiniang, he felt awkward in his heart.
Chen Huiniang's mood is naturally quite happy, this time when she entered the palace, she was always worried that the queen would mention the matter of letting her hear the news, but she didn't expect that the queen didn't mention this matter at all from beginning to end, but took the initiative to win the right to manage family affairs for her. Although she is only a side concubine, in terms of housekeeping, she thinks that she is many times higher than Lin Ling, a little girl. She believed that the prince would gradually see her good.
The carriage sped all the way, and the two women inside had their own thoughts.
