Chapter 178: Checks and Balances in the Taihe Hall (I)
"You said that even if I came up with a way to control the flood and disaster relief, and really helped them, would those people and officials really resent me again because of the words of a heavenly master, and think that I am still the scourge in their mouths?"
Chengying didn't speak, because what she could say was definitely what Bai Jingyin didn't want to hear,
Even if that's what happened.
"Doesn't Miss always say that you can sleep peacefully when it rains, don't think about it tonight, Chengying will accompany you to think of ideas, and you will definitely not let Miss be framed by traitors like this."
Bai Jingyin turned his head sideways,
Oh, yes
She doesn't seem to be alone, either.

Early the next morning, Ling Suxin hurriedly took the food box, dressed up and went to the Taihe Palace.
"The mother came too early, the queen mother didn't sleep all night, and she hasn't gotten up yet."
Aunt Rui replied.
"The Queen Mother is working so hard, so it's okay to wait a little longer in the palace, so my aunt should go and do her own." Ling Suxin sat on the chair by herself, as if she was still in a posture of not waiting to be insufficient.
Aunt Rui can't stop it anymore,
"Then the mother, please take care of yourself."
took a few deep looks at her, and then returned to the inner hall where the Queen Mother lived.
"Empress Dowager Qi, the imperial concubine said that she would wait for you, and she has no plans to leave."
"The mourning family doesn't know whether to say that she is persistent or stupid, and they can't even notice that the mourning family doesn't want to see her."
At this moment, the room was filled with the smell of sandalwood, and the Queen Mother was sitting in front of the makeup mirror table with her eyes closed, her hair had already been combed, and a palace maid was pressing her shoulder.
"Maybe it's really important."
"Are you the first day you met our imperial concubine?" The Queen Mother laughed disdainfully, "She is all focused on the queen and the emperor, where is there time to pay attention to me, an old woman, unless it is something to compete for favor and jealousy, and only then will she come to the door." She raised her hand and pressed the corner of her forehead, "There are a lot of things to do when you come in, and the mourning family has a headache, so naturally I don't want to listen to her ramblings." ”
"But looking at the appearance of the imperial concubine, it seems that she refuses to leave without seeing the queen mother."
Aunt Rui is embarrassed.
"She's so insistent?"
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and thought for a moment.
"That's it, let's go and see what she wants to do."
After saying that, he straightened his clothes, and Aunt Rui helped him to the front hall.
"The concubines see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." Seeing that the Queen Mother was coming, Ling Suxin immediately put on a gentle and polite appearance, bowed down, and her voice was also beautiful.
"No courtesy." The Queen Mother raised her hand, sat on the main seat, and said slowly: "The old woman of the mourning family is sleepy, but it is difficult to wait for you for a long time." ”
"The Queen Mother is also worried about the people of Limin, and the concubines only have admiration in their hearts, where can there be any complaints." said that Mama Wu next to her handed over the food box to Aunt Rui,
"Thinking that the Queen Mother must have had a poor appetite recently, she specially asked the imperial dining room to make some delicious and appetizing snacks, taking into account the phoenix body, she should eat a little."
Ling Suxin imitated Song Yuxue's words yesterday,
Come rashly
Is there a better and more straightforward reason than to send food?
Aunt Rui opened the food box and took out the snacks, and couldn't help but praise:
"Look at this pastry, how delicately it is. The imperial concubine is really considerate, knowing that the queen mother didn't use her meal last night, and she did this deliberately. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at it lightly,
"The imperial concubine is always filial to the mourning family."
Ling Suxin picked up a piece of pastry as a gift and presented it to the Queen Mother: "This shortbread is sunk with hawthorn honey, sweet and sour, delicious and has the effect of nourishing the body, the Queen Mother tastes it." ”
"That's it, let's pay it back later." The Queen Mother didn't take it, but looked at Ling Suxin's outfit, a lilac jacquard brocade palace dress, and only a light-looking bead hairpin in her hair, which was not at all like the usual style.
"The imperial concubine dresses a lot on weekdays, why is she dressed so plain today?"
Ling Suxin lowered her eyes.
"Now the people of Huaixia are suffering for natural disasters, and the concubines are sad in their hearts, and they are also anxious for the people, so they have no intention of dressing up." She sighed, "It's a pity that what I can do for the people is really limited." ”
"If your grandfather and father still do a lot, I'm afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will become idle eaters." The Queen Mother came with a sentence that was not salty or light, with some irony.
"The concubine is just blaming herself, if she can be as eloquent as Concubine Jing, she can speak up in the court and make suggestions for the emperor and the world."
"Hmph." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and Bai Jingyin's 'feat' yesterday naturally spread to the harem. "As a concubine, the most important thing is to serve the king and spread the branches for the royal family, and a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but unfortunately Concubine Jing doesn't understand."
Ling Suxin quietly looked at the Queen Mother's expression, and felt that the time was almost up, so she spoke:
But the concubine still envied Concubine Jing, and she also wanted to do her best to share the emperor's worries. After thinking about it all night, I felt that if I could open the altar and do a French ceremony, pray for the blessings of the victims, and overspend the victims, I would also ask God to bless me for enlightenment......"
Seeing that the Queen Mother did not object, she continued:
"After all, the reason why the people are resentful is because it is rumored that Concubine Jing has defiled the altar of the society by blaming the gods, and the people believe in the gods, and this method is also the right medicine."
"How to open the altar? Is that the idea you came up with. ”
The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Ling Suxin deeply,
Ling Suxin's heart tightened, and she said in fear:
"What does the Queen Mother think is wrong?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and suddenly relented:
"The mourning family just wants to say that this method is feasible." The Queen Mother picked up a small half of the shortbread and took a few bites. "If you can come up with this method, you must have a candidate in mind."
"The Empress Dowager, the concubines have heard that the folk are prevalent in the 'Xuan Dao', and their hair can be written without words to understand the will of heaven, and the mystery is endless. And the master of this door is the Tianxuanzi Taoist on Beihua Mountain. ”
The Queen Mother nodded,
"This mourning family also knows, but the Tianxuan Dao chief rarely goes out of the mountain, and he has been invited three times but not into the palace, do you have the ability to invite the Dao chief here?"
"Tianxuan Dao Chang is not involved in ordinary things, and concubines are not easy to force. It's just a common saying
'Blue is out of blue, and better than blue', among the disciples of Tianxuanzi Daoist, there are also people who have done their best to pass on the true inheritance of the master. The concubine was suffering from a vicious illness some time ago, and the imperial doctor was helpless, but fortunately, the true Yuan Heavenly Master entered the palace and calculated the good luck and evil with eight characters, and found that he was punished by fate. Do what the Heavenly Master said, and sure enough, he will be healed in a few days. ”
"If it's really as wonderful as you say, then the mourners want to see it. But I don't know if this True Yuan Heavenly Master can be easily invited. ”
"The True Yuan Heavenly Master is different from his master, advocating joining the world to help the world, not to mention that we are praying to the heavens for the disaster victims, and the heavenly master will naturally not refuse."
