Chapter 136: Generosity
Empress Chen said: "Lan Ping, you are really my good helper. Now I understand. I'll do as you say. If you have any other great ideas, let's tell them today. ”
Lan Ping hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Empress Chen said: "Lan Ping, since you are my palace maid, you should know that our fates are linked, and only if I am well, you can follow well." What did you say directly. I have nothing but gratitude, and I won't blame you. ”
Lan Ping thought about it, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "Queen Mother, what I want to talk about now is what will happen after Queen Mother is lucky enough to conceive a dragon descendant." ”
Queen Chen's appreciation for Lan Ping is even deeper in her heart, this Lan Ping, thinking about it so long-term, Xinghong, and the previous jade plum, which one can compare? Don't say that the maids can't compare, even if they can't compare? This is to stay in the palace for a long time, coupled with the careful training of the eldest aunt, there is such a level, in the past, I did not particularly reuse Lan Ping, but mentioned Xinghong as a grandmother is really stupid, in the future, I must take care of Lan Ping's home, so that this Lan Ping can be used for himself.
Lan Ping said: "If the queen mother is pregnant with a dragon descendant, her status will be stable, but Bai Guifei, Ma Shufei, and even Wang Xianfei will jump out to compete for favor again." After all, at that time, Niangniang couldn't serve the emperor. Therefore, the queen Niang Niangxin should start earlier, and start training people now, so that she can compete for favor with those concubines. ”
Empress Chen's eyes shrank, it turned out that Lan Ping came up with this idea.
What woman would want to share her husband with another woman?
Seeing Queen Chen's hesitation, Lan Ping slowed down her voice. said: "Has the queen mother ever thought about how old the queen mother was when the queen mother was fighting with the queen mother and the queen and concubine Wan Guifei?" The Queen Mother is naturally beautiful and peerless, but after all, the years are unforgiving, how can she really win the battle with Queen Wang and Wang Guifei? The queen is the orthodox queen. And. is also from a family, and the former prince, who is also younger than the queen mother. Not to mention Concubine Wan, she is recognized as the first beauty in the harem. Now is the time. We don't have such a beautiful beauty in our Dachu harem. The age is ten years younger than the Queen Mother. Then why did the Queen Mother win? ”
Empress Chen frowned. The struggle in the palace was very cruel back then. She knows it all, too. After all, his aunt is old, has no prince, and has no beauty. has even been in the cold palace for many years, what is it that depends on? Of course, relying on many things, in addition to intelligence, virtuous and generous, and outstanding ability, there is also the full support of my mother's family. The other is virtue. How virtuous is it, it is to keep offering beauties to the emperor.
This includes his other two cousins, who later became concubines and concubines, of course, now they are two Taoist aunts.
In addition to these two of their own people, there is also the concubine Shi Guifei in the palace now, and the sisters of the Zhao family, of course, now one is dead, and the other is Daogu. There are also many beauties with different positions. Most of them have now been buried or entered into royal temples.
In this way, Empress Chen was shocked. My aunt is really wise. Relying on this beauty, she defeated the queen and Wan Guifei, and finally became the queen, and even became the queen mother, and became the first person with a lofty status and unshakable. This is the ultimate for women. It is a successful example of Gong Dou.
Of course, look at her all the way, where are the people she defeated with beauty now? The queen was deposed, and now she is still confined in the cold palace. Wan Guifei was even more miserable, she died a long time ago. But what about her? The scenery counterattacked.
Look at the beauties she has used, except for Concubine Shi Gui, who also accompanies her, most of them are dead or have become monks.
Only she had the last laugh.
Empress Chen thought of this, calmed down a little and said, "I understand what you mean." Originally, the queen's duty was to take care of the emperor, extend the generations to come, appoint the virtuous and select the talents, and share the emperor's worries. I will find some beauties to enter the palace and share the emperor's worries. When these beauties entered the palace, if they wanted to come, there would be nothing to do with Bai Guifei and Ma Shufei. ”
Lan Ping smiled and said, "These beauties must be able to be controlled by the queen." Because, they don't have to enjoy Jun's grace for a long time, and in another three or four years, when the eldest son of the emperor reaches the age of twelve, they can start to choose a princess for the eldest son of the emperor. At that time, I also had a plan for the queen. ”
Empress Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What strategy?" ”
Lan Ping said: "When the time comes, the queen can choose from the civil and military families of the Manchu Dynasty, muddy the pond, and finally, select the concubine of the Bai family as the concubine of the eldest son of the emperor, and it is best to get another side concubine, with the concubine of the Ma family." ”
Empress Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Lan Ping, why are you so smart?" What a good idea. By that time, the unsuccessful family will definitely be jealous of the Bai family and the Ma family. The Bai family and the Ma family are involved, and they will definitely fight each other. The most important thing is that the white concubine in the palace, Ma Shufei has fallen out of favor for a few years, the Bai family and the Ma family must have been disappointed in them, at this time, the eldest son of the emperor has set the main concubine and the side concubine, so that the Bai family and the Ma family must have pinned their hopes for the future on the eldest princess of the emperor. At that time, the power of the family must have leaned towards the struggle in the palace of the eldest son. Where do you care about the outdated Bai Guifei and Ma Shufei in the palace. Stop for a few more years, these two sluts are old and yellow, and they are not my opponents. Isn't my back position secure? ”
Lan Ping said with a smile: "Now, the Bai family and the Ma family regard Niangniang as a thorn in their side, but if the concubine of their family becomes the eldest concubine of the emperor, then for the sake of the eldest son of the emperor, they naturally hope that Niangniang's position in the palace will be stable, at that time, they will not only not be Niangniang's enemies, but will also become Niangniang's help." With the support of the Chen family, the Xiao Chen family, the Bai family, and the Ma family, are you still afraid that your status will be unstable? ”
Empress Chen said with a happy face: "Lan Ping, this trick of yours is really wonderful." Hmph, at that time, look at how Bai Guifei and Ma Shufei fought with me and lost the support of the family, what are they? ”
Lan Ping said: "Therefore, as long as Niangniang follows this step and walks steadily through, she will definitely be able to prosper for a long time." ”
Empress Chen was very happy and said, "What you said is very true. Now I know what to do. Don't worry, I'm fine, and you will definitely be able to live a better life. I'll call my mother's house now to settle your house. By the way, I have some jewelry here that was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before. Among them is a pair of red gold bracelets, which I think are too heavy, and a pair of white jade hairpins, which are just right, and I have rewarded you. In addition, you can pick out two sets of small jewelry sent by the family, and prepare for your sister to marry in the future. ”
Lan Ping was busy thanking.
Empress Chen said slowly: "Now, what I want is generosity, I understand this." Magnanimity is the demeanor of the virtuous queen, no wonder the queen mother always says that I am a little childish, I really drilled the horns before, too stingy. I'm already the queen, and the eldest son of the emperor is here, why are you so stingy and worrying about some palace concubines? I should be generous. Lan Ping, you go and call Mama Hong. ”
Lan Ping hurriedly called Xinghong over.
Empress Chen said: "You go out of the palace to my house now and explain a few things." First, it's about Lan Ping's family. I have promised Lan Ping that I will give her brother an errand and take care of my ten dowry shops. In addition, the two-entry small house in the south of my city, as you know, was transferred to Lan Ping's brother. Also, your sister should marry Lan Ping's brother. Then I asked my sister-in-law to find a suitable home for Lan Ping's two younger sisters. ”
Mama Hong was startled, and her heart was like a stormy wave, but when she saw Lan Ping standing there with an indifferent look, she could only suppress the surprise in her heart and respond.
Empress Chen continued to command, "Also, the second thing is the most important thing. You go and ask my father to personally take people to choose some beauties, train them, and send them to the palace. The net worth must be innocent, and we must be able to hold it. The skills should be good, and the temperament should also be good. Don't let my sister-in-law interfere in this matter. I can ask my mother to help with the gatekeeping. ”
Mama Hong was shocked again, why did the master be generous. However, the life of the deep palace has long made her not as impatient as before, and almost in a blink of an eye, she understands that this is because Lan Ping gave the master a plan, and the master used it. This Lan Ping is such a powerful character. Although she was very angry at Lan Ping's favor, but now that this is the case, the master has already said that he will marry her sister to Lan Ping's brother. In the future, he and Lan Ping will be a family, so this breath can only be swallowed, not only can not suppress and retaliate against her, but also help her everywhere. Therefore, Mama Hong did not hesitate at all, she immediately came down, turned around and went out of the palace to do it.
Empress Chen said: "Lan Ping, you are waiting for me to write an excerpt to the emperor." ”
Lan Ping hurriedly came down and prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
These things in Fengyi Palace, soon, someone told the Queen Mother. After Empress Dowager Chen heard about it, she said to Mama Yu: "Yu'er, you see, Wenfeng has also grown up, and I am much more relieved to have Lan Ping by her side." ”
Yu'er smiled and said, "Yes, if it goes on like this, in a few years, the queen's position will be stable." The Queen Mother can go to Nanyang to reunite with Princess Lichuan. The slave also wants to follow the Queen Mother to open her eyes. Hearing Lord Wen Hui talk about Nanyang all day long, I really want to see it with my own eyes. ”
Empress Dowager Chen looked at the bright yellow tiles in the palace and said, "Yes, I have long been tired of staying in the palace all day." It's time to go out and get away from these grievances. It's been a few days of leisure. ”
Mama Yu smiled and said, "Princess Lichuan, there are still a few children who have missed their mothers for a long time. ”
Empress Dowager Chen thought of her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter couldn't help but smile and said, "I miss them too." It's just that I have one more thing to deal with before I go. ”
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Chen's face turned cold, and Mama Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. (To be continued......)
