Chapter 288: Rear Position
When Cui Keyin left Yongle Palace, Zhou Heng was still discussing with his ministers, but the news that he was about to ascend the throne did not go.
Along the way, the palace attendants I met were much more respectful than before when they saluted. Lu Ying's face was so excited that she blushed and said, "Princess, are you going to the Qinzheng Palace?" ”
You have to confirm this good news to the prince himself, right?
Cui Keyin shook her head and said, "No, let's go home." ”
These days, they rarely talk about who will succeed them. The ministers asked Zhou Heng to succeed him, Zhou Heng repeatedly refused, Cui Keyin never asked, as busy as he was always trying to appease the minister's family or sad or panicked or overwhelmed.
Zhou Heng succeeded to the throne, the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy, and he was only busier next, how could she disturb him when he was discussing with the ministers?
The people who followed heard about it, and they were all in high spirits, and even the speed of returning home was faster than before.
Recently, she has been too busy, and Cui Keyin only has time to accompany Lele in the evening. Lele has quit milk and plays with the nurse and Jade. When Cui Keyin entered the door, he stepped away from his little fat legs, buried his head and ran around, and when he saw Cui Keyin coming in, he quickly bumped into Cui Keyin.
Cui Keyin squatted down and hugged him into his arms, and when she saw him running with a sweaty face, she said, "Can you have dinner?" ”
Lele quit breastfeeding, and Cui Keyin instructed the nurse to feed him regularly and quantitatively every day.
The nurse replied: "I fed it half an hour ago, and my brother ate most of the bowl." As he spoke, he kept squeezing his eyebrows at Jade, as if something was wrong.
Jade smiled and said, "Princess, I heard that the prince is going to succeed to the throne?" ”
That's true. They are the people who have been waiting for them since they were in the palace, so they are naturally different.
The nurse pricked up her ears to listen, and only said that the Jin Wangfu was looking for a nurse, but she didn't expect that one day she would be the one who breasted the prince. Lele is the eldest son.
Cui Keyin let out a "hmm", and then amused.
Lele touched his mother's face with his sweaty hand, but was caught by Cui Keyin, took it to his lips and bit it lightly. Lele giggled, and was about to bite her mother's hand.
Cui Keyin was bitten by him, Lele had already sent two teeth, and the strength was great. Such a bite. It hurt so much that Cui Keyin retracted her hand.
Lele was very proud, and smiled at Cui Keyin with a little face, and Cui Keyin saw that there were two more small white spots on his gums. This kid has four teeth.
She hugged Lele and kissed her. Lele grabbed her hand. Put it in your mouth again.
Mother and son play a game of catch and hide. Mrs. Zhang came.
Cui Keyin hugged Lele and welcomed him out.
Old Madam Zhang smiled and said, "Where did you go and just came back?" The clothes on his body have not been changed. ”
Cui Keyin said: "I just came back from Concubine De, and her condition is not improving. It's getting worse, and I'm going to have to persuade her. ”
Heart disease still needs heart medicine, Wang Zhongfang rejuvenates again, Shen Mingzhu does not cooperate, just wants to die quickly, how can it be good?
Old Madam Zhang sighed: "The first emperor was very kind to her, and she just left like this, how can she not be sad?" ”
Outside, it is rumored that the queen cries day and night, and her eyes are blinded by crying.
Cui Keyin let out a long breath, as if she wanted to spit out all the depression of these days, and said, "Wang Zhe is really harmful. ”
Of course, Emperor An is responsible, as a king, he does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, only believes in words, and does not say anything about the 200,000 elites, and also causes his biological mother to go crazy, and his wife and concubine are heartbroken. But the emperor can't be wrong, and all the mistakes can only be borne by Wang Zhe.
When she sat down in the banquet room, Mrs. Zhang said, "Your eldest uncle sent someone to send a letter home, saying that the prince has allowed the ministers to invite, but is there such a thing?" ”
Cui Zhenyi couldn't hide his excitement, and took the opportunity of the official hall to ask someone to send a message to the little guy waiting outside the palace, and let the little guy bring the letter back home. I really didn't expect the Cui family to have a queen, which is a thousand joys. These days, it seems that Gu Quan is the most active, but there is Cui Zhenyi's strong support inside. It's just that he is cautious, for fear that people will say that he is virtuous, so Gu Quan takes the lead. In fact, he was too worried, who didn't know that he was Zhou Heng's Yue family? Even if he is the first to stand up and support Zhou Heng, who will say anything more?
When Mrs. Zhang received the letter, she couldn't sit still anymore and rushed over immediately.
Cui Keyin said: "I heard what the palace people said in Yongle Palace, and the specific situation will only be clear when the prince returns to the house to ask." ”
"Confused!" Old Madam Zhang said: "You are the concubine of King Jin." He has no side concubines, only two female histories, and these two female histories have the most concubines. Who will this Zhenggong Niangniang be, haven't you thought about it? ”
When encountering things, some people see opportunities, some people see crises, and different people always look at things from different angles. Cui Keyin was thinking about how Zhou Heng could get through the difficulties with him with such a big burden on his shoulders. What Mrs. Zhang saw was that Zhou Heng ascended the throne as the emperor, and who would be canonized as the queen. With Cui Keyin's family background, this position naturally belongs to her. She rushed over, just to ask what promises Zhou Hengke had made.
Cui Keyin quickly understood what Mrs. Zhang meant, and said with a wry smile: "Grandmother, the prince has been so busy that he hasn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and there are so many big things waiting for him to make an idea." For such a trivial matter, don't bother him, right? ”
Did she want to run to the palace of diligence and interrupt him to discuss political affairs with his ministers, just to ask him for a promise?
Mrs. Zhang said: "Where is this trivial matter? What could be more important than this? You usually look smart, why are you confused in a pinch? ”
How many women in the queen/palace are fighting to the death for this position? Where is this a trivial matter, this is a major event related to the life of the family, and it is also a major matter related to the status of the mother's family behind him.
Cui Keyin didn't want to discuss this issue with Mrs. Zhang, so she asked Lele to go over: "Say hello to your great-grandmother." ”
Old Madam Zhang touched Lele's little face, and seized the opportunity to educate: "Only after you are established, Lele can be a rightful prince, you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Lele." ”
"Grandmother is here?" It was Zhou Heng who answered her voice, Pearl opened the curtain, he walked in, and said, "Stay and eat, right?" ”
Old Madam Zhang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she glared at Pearl who was standing outside the curtain. I don't know how long he has been eavesdropping outside the curtain, Pearl is still the maid who came from the Cui family, why didn't he remind him in advance?
Cui Keyin saluted and said, "The prince is back?" The concubine has someone prepare hot water, so you can take a rest after bathing. ”
His eyes were red, and he was in good health, otherwise he would have collapsed.
Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Okay." He walked up to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Grandmother, why should I worry, I can show my heart for Keyin." This queen's position, why use her to fight? It was originally hers, and no one could snatch it away. ”
Old Madam Zhang was ashamed and saluted: "The old body is reckless. ”
Zhou Heng helped her up and said, "Where, grandmother loves her granddaughter very much." (To be continued.) )
