Chapter 311: Undercurrent (1)
In Yeonfu Palace.
After entering the winter, Queen Ye fell ill again, and she was sick in bed every day, taking supplements and carefully taking care of her body. But the body is not as good as before. Wrinkles at the corners of the eyes on the forehead become more pronounced. Lying on the bed, my mind is pounding.
Sitting on the chair next to the bed, Duchess Ye of Anguo has a graceful demeanor and a light smile. Against the backdrop of Ye's complexion, Queen Ye looked more and more droopy and old.
"In the past six months, Niangniang has been lying on the sickbed for most of the time, and her body bones have become weaker and weaker." Ye Shi comforted with a concerned face: "The prince was assassinated, and it is inevitable that the mother will be sad in her heart." But you can't let that drag you down. ”
Hypocritical!
Empress Ye sneered disdainfully in her heart, but she squeezed out a sad look on her face: "I know all these truths." But the pain of losing a child is really unbearable. Others persuaded me a few words without pain, but what was really sad was not my mother."
Queen Ye didn't need to pretend, she quickly turned red and shed a few tears.
"Others who don't feel pain" are also secretly sneering, thinking to myself what does your dead son have to do with me, I don't know how happy I feel in my heart.
The two sisters have a long-standing grudge, and no one wants to recall the past, and no one wants to solve this grievance.
The two face and heart are not in harmony, although outsiders don't know, they know each other.
Empress Ye coughed, instructed the palace maid to help herself sit up, and said slowly: "Yuan Zhao has already set off for Beijing more than a month ago, maybe he will be able to come back in a few days." ”
Speaking of Chen Yuanzhao, Ye's heart remembered the scene before the separation half a year ago. There was an indescribable sourness in my heart. The separation of mother and child is Ye's deepest hidden pain.
Queen Ye just wanted to poke Ye's sore spot: "By the way, Yuan Zhao will be gone for half a year." Have you ever sent a letter back home? ”
Ye Shi smiled, and then responded casually: "Yuan Zhao's temperament, Niangniang also knows." He was used to being in the barracks, where did he remember these trifles. ”
Empress Ye looked at Ye's forbearant expression, felt a little more relaxed, and followed Ye's words and said, "Yes, men and women are different. Female parenting presides over the feed. Men have important affairs in their hearts, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of these things for a while. By the way, Yuan Zhao will be twenty-two after the New Year! It's time to have a biological child. Yuan Zhao got married. I, as an aunt, always have to show my heart. After the wedding date was agreed, someone sent a letter to the palace. ”
Hit a stick and give a sweet date, Queen Ye used this trick very skillfully.
No matter what Ye thought in his heart, he had to receive this favor on his face: "Thank you to the queen mother." ”
Empress Ye smiled gently: "We are sisters. It's too much to say that. Besides. I have always regarded Yuan Zhao as my own son, and I don't have a reason to ask him when he gets married. ”
As the original queen, all the concubines in the palace are her children. Even if it's not from her belly, she has to call her queen mother when she meets.
Ye Shi didn't understand Queen Ye's words, and said with a smile: "What Niangniang said is that I have thanked Niangniang for her kindness on behalf of Yuanzhao." ”
After gossiping, Empress Ye finally turned her words to the main topic: "Yuan Zhao returned to Beijing." King Qin also came back with him. The emperor has always been very important to the King of Qin, and this time the King of Qin returned to Beijing. I'm afraid that the emperor will soon mention the matter of establishing the prince. ”
The establishment of the reserve is a major event of a country with far-reaching influence.
Ye did not pretend to be stupid. No matter how many grievances she has with Queen Ye, it is also a private matter, and when she encounters such a major event, she is still on Queen Ye's side. Otherwise, if King Qin is allowed to sit on the throne, I am afraid that he will spare no effort to deal with the Anguo Mansion in the future, and he will not let Chen Yuanzhao go.
"Do you have a plan in mind?" Ye asked.
Empress Ye said lightly: "Although King Qin's holy family is strong, he is not a descendant in the end, and his identity is not as good as Ah Yun." The position of the prince is not yet his turn. ”
It was not surprising for Ye to hear such words.
In the past six months, the court has been surging with waves, and the King of Wei and the King of Chu have been fighting in the dark. The emperor not only did not stop him, but watched coldly, quite a bit of a comparison of the two sons. Of course, it means waiting for King Qin to come back
Now that King Qin is finally coming back, it is strange that Queen Ye is not in a hurry. I deliberately let her enter the palace today, naturally to win over her.
Sure enough, Queen Ye said in a low voice: "Ah Yun is young and has no real power in his hands, so he will inevitably suffer more than the King of Qin and the King of Chu." Yuan Zhao holds the military power in his hands and wins the favor of the emperor, as long as he is willing to help with all his might, Ah Yun's chance of success is at least eighty percent. ”
"When Ayun ascends the throne as the Son of Heaven, he will never treat Yuan Zhao badly. The location of the inspection in front of the palace is none other than Yuan Zhao. ”
Ye Shi listened to the heartbeat.
The commander of the front division of the palace, the commander of the guards and horses, and the commanders of the guards and infantry troops respectively commanded the forbidden army, which were collectively called the three ya. The front of the palace is inspected, and the three yas are commanded. Garrisoned in the capital, high and powerful. In comparison, the commander of the Divine Guard Army is naturally not as good as the inspection in front of the palace.
Moreover, the Divine Guard Army is the most elite army in Dayan, and Chen Yuanzhao leads the Divine Guard Army, often leaving the capital to suppress bandits and quell chaos, which is always terrifying.
The condition proposed by Empress Ye is really impossible to refuse.
Ye Shi made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't respond: "I can't be the master of Yuan Zhao for such a big thing." When Yuan Zhao came back, wouldn't it be better for Niangniang to tell him personally. ”
Queen Ye knew that the Ye family was moved, and pulled the corners of her lips silently.
The palace maid in pink palace dress came in to report: "Queen Qi, Zhao Gonggong came to announce the emperor's message, the emperor heard that Niangniang was in poor health, and specially came to visit Niangniang, and will stay in Yanfu Palace for lunch at noon today." ”
Coming to visit her?
Hum! She's been sick for so long, and now she's getting better, why do you come to visit her? It was clear that he knew that the Ye family had entered the palace and came to see the Ye family under the pretext of visiting the patient.
Empress Ye blocked her chest in one breath, and she had to squeeze out a surprised smile on her face: "This palace knows." You go to the imperial dining room and give an order, so that the imperial dining room can prepare more dishes that the emperor loves to eat. ”
The palace maid smiled and retreated.
Empress Ye glanced at the Ye family, and said with a smile: "It's rare for my sister to enter the palace once, so let's stay for lunch today!" ”
Ye Shi looked at Queen Ye swallowing her anger and pretending to be virtuous, not to mention more relieved in her heart, so she responded in embarrassment: "The emperor came to visit Niangniang, it's not good for me to stay!" ”
If you get cheap, you can sell well!
Queen Ye's teeth itched with hatred, but she smiled in her mouth: "We are sisters, the emperor is your brother-in-law, it is not rude to sit together for lunch, sister don't have to worry too much." ”
Ye "reluctantly" responded. (To be continued......)
