56 [Needle tip to Maimang] The terrible queen mother + the coolness of stealing the heart

Empress Dowager Zhang's chest rose and fell, and she really wanted to bring this queen over and slap her twice, and pull out her sharp teeth to relieve her anger.

Her father was born as a butcher, which can be regarded as the biggest hatred of Empress Dowager Zhang, and there is no one.

Although his father is a butcher, he also followed Emperor Wude to fight for the title of meritorious knighthood, but because Lao Tzu is not a family, even if she is favored, she will not have a chance to take the throne.

The queen of the first emperor is the daughter of a big family, and she is talented and virtuous, but she has no appearance. Later, he gave birth to a son and died in childbirth, leaving behind a son who did not live past the age of three. The back seat has been empty, empty, empty! Neither life nor death will fall on her head.

The queen came out to say something, but she deliberately stabbed her in the heart with a knife.

Empress Dowager Zhang took a few deep breaths, trying her best to calm down, and wanted to sneer to show her honor, but the muscles on her face were not very controlled by herself, and her face twitched a few times, and Empress Dowager Zhang finally gave up her plan to speak well.

"Queen, don't ask about your father for the time being, the mourning family only asks you, has the emperor not recruited anyone to sleep for a month?" Empress Dowager Zhang's masseter muscles tightened, and her eyes stared at Zhao Yanrong sharply.

All the concubines bowed their heads together.

This month, the emperor has never been to any palace except Zhaoyang Palace, which is indeed something that has never been done before. The concubines were anxious, but they were actually a little relieved. In any case, the emperor is with the queen, and he does not particularly favor a certain concubine as before.

Some time ago, Concubine Rong was arrogant in the palace, with sharp minions, and their lives were not easy.

Now that no one is better than the other, they feel a lot more comfortable in their hearts.

But they always can't see the emperor's face, and they will also feel that their hearts are hanging in the air and they can't fall to the ground.

I heard the queen smile and say, "Why didn't you mention it?" My father had just left Beijing, and I was thinking about talking to someone. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang patted her chair: "The mourning family is asking you, has the emperor not recruited anyone to sleep for a month?" ”

The queen raised her head and smiled slightly: "Who said that?" The emperor is in good health, there is no hair or disease, how can there be no one to sleep? ”

The corners of Empress Dowager Zhang's mouth twitched: "You should ask the concubines here, have they ever seen the emperor in the past month?" ”

The queen tilted her head, and just when she saw Concubine Hui, she asked, "Sister Huifei, have you seen the emperor?" ”

Concubine Hui lowered her head and replied in a small voice: "The concubine saw her in Zhaoyang Hall a few days ago. ”

The queen smiled slightly, turned to the queen mother and said, "Look, how can you say that you can't see people? Sister Hui Fei has seen it. Two days ago, the emperor also went to sit with Sister Zhuang Guifei. The palace also heard that a few days ago, Concubine Zhen met the emperor in the garden. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was angry, what she wanted to say was that the emperor didn't get close to the concubine's body, how could he get into the queen's mouth, and he couldn't see it?

"The mourning family is saying that the waiter, the waiter! How long has it been since the emperor has been close to a woman? Queen, how the hell do you manage the harem? Empress Dowager Zhang roared, "How can such a jealous nature be worthy of the example of a woman in the world?" ”

"Who's to say he didn't get near a woman? Hongu is not a woman? The queen showed grievances on her face, and looked at the queen mother with a handkerchief and said, "If you are so jealous or not, can you ask these sisters here, will I be half sad for them after I enter the palace?" The emperor favored the concubine like that before, and the concubine never said a word. Did I fight with them or rob them? Mother, what you said is really chilling. ”

"Which woman does the emperor want to sleep with, this is the emperor's business, although I am the queen, I am also the emperor's courtier, the king has an order, the minister is not violated, can't the emperor say that in my palace, take a break, I can close the palace door of Zhaoyang Palace, let him stay outside? If so, you should say that I am not gentle and considerate. ”

The queen sighed in a long voice: "It's really difficult to be a woman, and you can't follow your husband, and you can't go against your husband." ”

"You!" Empress Dowager Zhang pointed to the queen's hand and trembled for a long time, "You also dragged the emperor in your childhood, so you can't help him arrange for him to rest with other concubines, you have to let the emperor be smoked by blood and attract filth?!" ”

The queen frowned, and her face turned cold: "The queen mother even knows when the concubine is a small day, but she is really exhausted." Since the queen mother cares so much about where the emperor sleeps every night, it would be better for the living registration to be sent to Changle Palace by the Shang Sleep Bureau in the future, and it would also save the queen mother from having to ask others about this and that, which is tiring and laborious. ”

Saying that, she turned her head to Mulan and said: "You go to the Shangle Bureau now, just say that the Queen Mother has ordered, in the future, this living registration does not need to be sent to Zhaoyang Palace, it will be presented to Changle Palace, regardless of whether it is Supervisor Du or Young Eunuch Qin, if you have something to do in the future, you will come to Changle Palace and ask the Queen Mother to show you, don't run to me, if you run, it will be in vain." ”

Mulan squatted down and saluted, and was about to turn around and go out.

"You're back!" The Queen Mother called out and called Mulan back.

"Queen, what do you mean by that?"

The emperor's living note is to record the emperor's bedtime and the time when the concubines were favored and conceived, which is one of the most important rights and responsibilities of the queen.

The queen mother is just the emperor's mother, if the son wants to sleep at night, which woman has to be the mother's own arrangement, what is this like if it is going to be passed out?

The Queen Mother's old face is not thick-skinned. If she was Li Rui's own mother, it would be better, but she was not biological, and she still had to take care of the woman the emperor slept with, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't think about how much reaction this matter would arouse if it stabbed the previous dynasty.

To put it mildly, it is to oppress the queen, and to say that it is to influence the emperor's heir.

She doesn't care about the former, but for the latter, it's a big trouble.

The courtiers didn't say anything, and the emperor would be the first to turn his face with her.

Originally, she was a little undignified as the queen mother, and her own son Li Qi was still suffering in Nanjun. The adopted son has no relatives in the first place, not to mention that this adopted son is not raised by her at all. If the emperor suspects that she wants to meddle in the imperial heir, and suspects that she wants to support the abolished prince Li Qi, maybe he can send someone to do him first.

She also hopes to be reunited with her son and mother one day, if Li Rui is provoked by the queen at this time to lose her mind and do something to kill her brother, then she will not even have a place to cry.

She can accuse the queen of being jealous and unkind, but she can't really take over the queen's responsibilities.

If you want to pick it up, you can only pick it up later, but you have to abolish Zhao Yanrong first.

Only when Concubine Duan becomes the queen can she control everything in the harem in the dark and influence this uneasy situation.

Empress Dowager Zhang fought fiercely in her heart, this daughter-in-law really doesn't look like a lady from a family, she will never lose when she quarrels and scolds, and she can still poke people into a sieve without dirty words and sentences.

Emotion and reason fought to the back, or reason prevailed, Empress Dowager Zhang forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and softened her tone to the queen: "You are the emperor's wife, and you have to bother to stare at the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation." I shouldn't have been in charge of your young people's affairs. It's just that you shouldn't dominate the emperor like this. The emperor wants the rain and dew to be evenly wet, and the grace can make the emperor's heir continue to flourish, you see, now there are only three princesses in the palace, not even a prince, isn't it too lonely? The emperor is not young, you should think more about the country. Can young couples still have time together? You persuade the emperor more, let him go to all palaces, don't be tired of being with you like a child all day long, what is this like? ”

"Well, you're right." Empress Dowager Zhang's voice softened, and the queen's face changed, smiling and coquettish, and said coquettishly: "The concubine often persuades the emperor to go around, and my Zhaoyang Palace is not interesting, but it is relatively quiet." But as you know, there is a great drought in the south, and Dijon in the northwest is not very honest, and a lot of troops and horses are ready to move on the border. The emperor's affairs in the previous dynasty were annoying enough, and he just wanted to stay quietly when he returned to the harem. The emperor worked so hard, and the concubine was very distressed when she looked at it, so she thought, what is going on is annoying enough, let's stop blocking him, he can do whatever he likes. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang pursed her lips with a solemn expression.

"However, since the queen mother has spoken, the emperor has to work hard, let him insist on persevering, work hard in each palace, create more people, and let people prepare more ingredients and medicinal materials for the emperor, so as not to consume yang energy."

The concubines panicked, stood up together, and said that they didn't dare.

The emperor worked hard for the political affairs of the previous dynasty, and when he arrived in the harem, he not only couldn't relax, but also worked for them, how could this be?

The queen mother originally wanted to accuse the queen of being jealous and tyrannizing the emperor to prevent him from sleeping with other palace concubines, but the queen was relieved, but what she said was really not good. No matter which concubine's palace the emperor went to, it became a reluctant burden, and he had to empty his body and ask the queen to boil medicine to make up for it.

No matter how much you make up for it, it is harmful to the body.

The Queen Mother pressed her thumb and forefinger against her forehead and exhaled a breath of turbid air from her chest.

What a defeat to her.

"The mourning family is tired, you all kneel and go out."

In the end, that's all she can say.

"Queen Mother, you really don't have to tell the Shang Sleeping Bureau to let them hand over the living notes to you?" Before the queen went out, she didn't forget to turn around and pestle her again.

The Queen Mother had a cold face and didn't look at her, just rubbing her temples with her hands: "No! ”

"Tut, this troublesome errand, I really can't push it off if I want to." The queen let out a cheerful sigh, "Tonight, the concubine will try to persuade the emperor to go to Concubine Duan's Yongfu Palace, Sister Duanfei will not stay in Changle Palace today, go back early and get dressed." ”

Concubine Duan shuddered with excitement all over her body.

The emperor went to Yongfu Palace, which she looked forward to day and night, but after the queen said it so briskly, she felt very frightened, and she didn't know if the queen had any special arrangements.

Can the emperor really go? Could it be that she was playing tricks on me?

Concubine Duan was full of suspicions, but she could only smile and thank the queen.

The queen left with a smile, and said to Mulan as she walked: "Later, you will go to the palace and ask, who made the ground of this Changle Palace?" The pattern is beautiful. Find someone to replace the ground in our palace with such bricks, and in the future, we will punish anyone who does not like his eyes for three or five hours. ”

The queen's voice faded away, and the queen mother's hand snapped, and she had broken her nails that had been stored for more than half a year.

Concubine Duan cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Queen Mother, you said, tonight, will the emperor really go to Yongfu Palace?" ”

The Queen Mother suddenly raised her hand, slapped her in the face, and scolded: "You come to ask me about this kind of thing? Who do I ask? Something that doesn't make a difference. You are two years older than her, just watch her call Concubine Hui Zhenfei Zhuang and they call her sister, just call you sister, you are not ashamed, you are not ashamed, you are not cold! Saying that, the Queen Mother was so angry that she used her hand to beat Concubine Duan's shoulder, and Concubine Duan was scolded by her and cried, but she didn't dare to hide, gritting her teeth and beating her.

"Useless things, how did Lao Zhang's family raise such a thing as you, the emperor can't catch it, and a girl can play you like this!" The more the Queen Mother scolded, the more angry she became, and she twisted her hand on Concubine Duan's arm.

Concubine Duan cried and said, "The concubine is useless, the Queen Mother, you killed me." I just ask you not to slap your face first, in case the emperor comes to ask at night, the concubine is not easy to answer. ”

The Queen Mother stopped, sitting there snoring and panting, her eyes gave birth to a lot of red silk, looking cloudy and a little ruthless.

"This girl can't stay, she's a scourge!"

Concubine Duan said tremblingly: "But now that the emperor values her, and the Zhaoyang Palace is strictly guarded, our people have been almost driven away." Now is not the moment when she first entered the palace, even if she has an idea, it is very difficult to get her hands on it. ”

The Queen Mother said fiercely: "If it weren't for this, would the mourning family be able to suffer so much from her today?" ”

She wanted Zhao Yanrong to die, but she couldn't see a good time to do it. This woman is so fateful, she worked hard to design and calculate, pull Concubine Rou, drag Concubine Rong, and let this woman escape.

Concubine Rou and Concubine Rong are dead, where else is she going to find a substitute ghost to help her out of this evil breath?

Empress Dowager Zhang put her fingers against the corners of her forehead, groaning, and felt that her skull was suddenly beating so hard that it almost hurt like her head was about to burst open.

"You are also a little angry, your brother is not successful, the Zhang family can only rely on our mother and son, you also know that the emperor does not take me as his mother in his heart, if we can't control this harem, and you can't win the emperor's favor, you talk about it, how will we gain a foothold in the palace in the future, what good future can your father and brothers have?" Empress Dowager Zhang endured a headache and counted Concubine Duan, "When you first entered King Kang's mansion, Li Rui's kid treated you well, if you were more hurried at that time, you could give birth to a son for him, why would you still suffer from that little hoof today?" If you have a son, the concubine will not be able to do it as a woman from Zhuang Qin. It's just that you don't have the ability, let alone a son, you can't even raise a daughter! ”

Concubine Duan is bitter, and this matter of having children is not something that can be done if you want to. Li Rui has few heirs, he has married so many women, and after being married for so many years, he only gave birth to three daughters. So many women are desolate, how can you blame only one of them?

The emperor originally treated her well, but as soon as she entered the palace and became the emperor, she became estranged from her. She also understands that it is the contradiction between the queen mother and the emperor that makes her innocent. It's just that a person's background is not chosen, just like the Queen Mother can't let her father not be a butcher, and she can't choose to let her father not have a surname.

It's all fate.

Concubine Duan was silent and shed tears.

After Empress Dowager Zhang's seizure, she gradually calmed down, looking at the sadness and decadence on Concubine Duan's face, she felt a little unbearable.

She has only one brother, Concubine Duan almost grew up with her, she has no daughter, so she raises her as her own daughter. Originally, I thought that Li Qi would marry her to be the queen when he ascended the throne, but I didn't expect Li Qi to have an accident and almost lost his life.

For the sake of her son, she sent her niece to King Kang's Mansion as a side concubine.

She always felt guilty, thinking that she could make amends.

Although she can't be her real daughter-in-law, she can help her to be the queen of Daqi, which can be regarded as giving the Zhang family and the Zhang family an explanation.

It's just that the world makes people, and Concubine Duan's good looks and talent can't impress Li Rui at all, so that she has the name of a first-class concubine, and she guards the empty curtain alone at a young age.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, took Concubine Duan's hand, patted her gently, and said, "Don't worry, the mourning family will definitely be able to think of a good way, and they will definitely make you the queen." ”

Concubine Duan choked and shook her head: "The concubine doesn't want to do that, she just wants to live the rest of her life well." ”

The Queen Mother was speechless, looked up at the red and swollen fingerprints on Concubine Duan's jade-like face, and touched it distressedly: "Go and wash your face, take out the box of ice muscle jade cream in my room and wipe it, it shouldn't be visible in two hours." ”

"Yes." Concubine Duan thanked her.

"The mourning family is old," the Queen Mother said with a wry smile, "I can't hold my breath when I'm old." Over the years, no one can threaten the status of the mourning family, and some people have no one in their eyes, and they act and speak too arbitrarily, so they can't even deal with a little girl. ”

"Queen Mother, don't say that." Concubine Duan wiped her tears and said with a forced smile, "You eat more salt than she eats, she just relies on the emperor's favor and the support of the Pei family behind her, otherwise where can she be so arrogant." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "That's exactly what I said." If it weren't for the emperor's favor on her, she wouldn't be so proud. ”

After thinking about it again and again, he said to Concubine Duan: "There are a few pieces of fine goose pear Xifu hidden here in the palace, which were given by the emperor back then, and I have never been willing to use them." You can take a piece back later, and you only need to use a small spoon to smoke it in the tent, which is very interesting, and much better than the acacia incense. ”

Concubine Duan has heard the name of this goose pear Xifu, which is made of large goose pear and dozens of famous incense soaking and steaming, and the requirements for the amount of materials and technology are extremely high, and the stock in the palace is very small.

This incense is incense in the tent, which is used to increase the interest and make men and women happy.

The queen mother gave her this, and she wanted her to do everything she could to leave the emperor for one night.

Concubine Duan blushed and thanked the reward, and followed the Queen Mother to get the incense.

The concubines who came out of Changle Palace followed the queen to Zhaoyang Hall and sat for a while before dispersing.

In the past, I only heard about how the queen and the queen mother fought, because it was hearsay, and I don't know how much material was added or subtracted in the rumors, so the concubines still had doubts about the queen's combat effectiveness. After seeing it with my own eyes today, I know that this queen is really strong, and she is worthy of being a girl from the Pei family with the blood of the god of war.

The Queen Mother is so difficult to accuse, she can block it in three or two strokes like a weight, and she counterattacks with a needle in her mouth, which is really eye-opening.

But if they are allowed to learn, they will not be able to learn.

This is to be bold enough, and the second is to be thick-skinned. These young ladies of the family, the daughters of the official family, how can they be as open and close as the queen without scruples?

It makes people envious, jealous, and intimidating.

What used to be lively and laughing has also been subdued now, and there is an embarrassing silence in the hall.

After a while, the queen brought tea to the guests. The concubines breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, they quickly left.

Mulan waited for Zhao Yanrong to wash her face and remove her makeup, took off the heavy hairpin ring on her head, pulled a hanging bun alone, and the queen sat on the couch, stretched her hand under the long skirt, and pulled out two cotton cushions one by one.

This is the night before she asked Mulan to rush it out, tie it to her knees, and protect her legs to protect her knees, which can come in handy.

Mulan also took off a pair from her calf, and after packing up, she came over to help the queen change her clothes.

"I'm glad you thought it through, otherwise you would have suffered a loss today." Mulan brought hot water to help her wipe the sweat on her body, Zhao Yanrong lay lazily on the couch, and said with a smile: "I guessed that she was going to come to this trick and want to trick me?" It's not that easy. ”

"It's just that all the ladies have suffered a meal in vain today." Mulan couldn't help but smile and said, "You didn't see it? Several of the ladies walked with a limp. ”

"Their skin is delicate and expensive, where have they ever suffered like this." Zhao Yanrong patted her knee and said, "Go back and teach Bai Lu and them, and each of them will make a pair." As long as you go to Changle Palace, you can put on this 'easy kneeling'. ”

It's easy to kneel!

Mulan laughed out loud.

It's a vivid and apt name, but isn't it easy to kneel?

Zhao Yanrong thanked Grandma Qiong Yao in her heart, the equipment you made for Sister Xiaoyanzi is really practical.

The master and servant were all cleaned up, Bai Lu was about to come to change shifts, Mulan pushed her out and said, "I'm not tired yet, I'll talk to my mother again." You go out with Danfeng first to get ready, maybe the emperor will come over today. ”

Bai Lu smiled and said, "What else is there that you can't say, when won't the emperor come?" ”

With that, he smiled and turned around and went out.

Zhao Yanrong was lazy on the couch, listening to Mulan say this, knowing that she had something to tell her, so she waved her hand to let all the palace maids in the house retreat.

Mulan knelt beside her, took the beauty and gently tapped her legs.

"Niangniang, don't you think that Concubine Zhuang is a little different today?"

Zhao Yanrong lazily closed her eyes, and when she heard the words, she didn't say anything else.

"The slave maid shouldn't have said this, but ......" Mulan hesitated for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother attacked you today, and she was the first to come out to help you speak, but the slave maid always felt that it was inappropriate, as if ...... It seems to ......"

"It's like she's pushing the Queen Mother and scolding me, isn't it?" Zhao Yanrong said with her eyes closed.

"The slave didn't dare to say that, but she always felt that something was strange."

"It's weird." Zhao Yanrong opened her eyes and said to her with a smile, "I came later, and I can't compare to her for a long time with the emperor and her true feelings." I guess I'm in a panic these days, so I have a little bit of brains when I talk and do things. ”

Li Rui told her that he treated Zhuang Qin like his own sister.

But people may not treat him like a younger brother!

Li Rui, a man with a noble status and a handsome person, is the idol and ideal in the hearts of many girls, Zhuang Qin is his concubine, how can his mind not be on him?

It is estimated that Li Rui is too sticky with her these days, which makes Concubine Zhuang feel uneasy.

Zhuang Qin is not a concubine, not a concubine, not a queen mother who is hostile to the emperor, and the emperor has a deeper affection for her than for others. Love has a shelf life, but family affection does not. Zhao Yanrong frowned slightly, if Concubine Zhuang was bent on making enemies with her, this would be more tricky than facing the Queen Mother.

"Mother, you still have to be careful."

"I know." Zhao Yanrong sighed lightly and said, "Really, in this palace, you can't steal if you want to." ”

"The queen has everything, what else does she want to steal?"

With the words, Li Ruichun strode in proudly.

Zhao Yanrong didn't get up, so she crooked her eyebrows on the couch and said, "The concubine is thinking about how to steal the emperor's heart!" ”

The author has something to say: the guys are too smart!!

That's right, kneeling! Get! Appearance! Easy!

Did you guess it?
