Chapter Eighty-Eight: Thorough
The third elder brother stood in place and was a little at a loss, he was also young, he didn't understand these twists and turns, he only knew that his brothers and sisters were unwilling to accompany him, the queen usually let him have less contact with the fourth brother and the fifth brother, and he didn't like the eldest brother even more, not to mention Da Gege, this time he fell to the end of no playmate.
Hua Ying herself is a person with children, and when she saw that the third elder brother's eyes were gloomy, she couldn't give up her heart: "Since you met the queen by chance, it's better to let them be together for a while, don't dilute the brotherhood." ”
The queen doesn't understand, she always has the arrogance of being in the middle palace, even with the third elder brother, even if the third elder brother is not her own child, she is not willing to let him associate with those concubines and sisters, but she is afraid that he will not have the demeanor of a concubine, but I don't know what such an older child can understand.
"No need, the third elder brother is already old, and he should start practicing calligraphy and other things, it's not too early, let's go back to the palace with the palace."
The third elder brother could only be a little depressed, and said what his grandmother taught him: "Yes, Huang Eniang." ”
"Congratulations to the Queen."
"Congratulations to the emperor." The fourth elder brother and Yinze were inarticulate and were sent away by the queen with a salute, and then went to play together.
"You are optimistic about the fourth and fifth elder brothers, be careful not to get hurt, there are many branches and forks over there." Hua Ying instructed the subordinates who followed.
When I talked to Concubine Jing about the fourth elder brother and the queen, I always felt a little sorry, and felt that the child should not be confined to the palace like this, but this may be his own life, and they are not capable of managing it, just like the queen thought, as a concubine, maybe he will be the prince in the future.
"It's not, a child who is only three or four years old has to learn some calligraphy and famous poems, even if the heirs of the heavenly family want to become talented early, it is too exaggerated." Concubine Jing looked at the fourth elder brother's playful figure: "When the fourth elder brother becomes an adult, this palace must ask the emperor for a favor and let him be an idle Belle, but don't wade these muddy waters, there are no clean days." ”
Hua Ying knew that Concubine Jing did not have the slightest ambition for the position of prince, but she couldn't hide it, she was indeed ambitious in her heart, but she didn't know if her child had such thoughts, if she did, she would do her best, no, she also wanted to keep her child safe for life.
Concubine Jing seemed to know Hua Ying's thoughts, and whispered: "If you want to fight, you do have an advantage, but now that the queen is not wrong, it is not so simple to deal with her." ”
"I understand, all I think in my heart now is that if she doesn't offend me, I won't offend her, and it's best to be safe." Hua Ying patted her hand and said, "I also know that you care about your sister-in-law, so I naturally won't make a rash move." ”
"It's that I'm thinking about my sister too much." Concubine Jing and Hua Ying looked at each other and smiled.
It's already the beginning of June, and it's been three years since the last draft, and the Queen Mother still feels that there are not many concubines in the palace now, although since the draft, there are three more children, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it's still very pitiful: "Emperor, three years have passed, don't you plan to hold another draft?" There are still not many concubines in the harem, you can think about it. ”
"I will tell the queen, don't worry about it, queen mother." The emperor also knew that the queen mother was good to himself, he wanted to clear the court of those gangs and factions, how much was noticed by some old foxes, and now some ministers want to show their loyalty, nothing more than to stuff women into the harem, but he doesn't want so many people, three women in a play, once they arrive in the harem, I don't know how many plays are waiting for them to watch.
"The mourning family can only worry about this, by the way, you like Yun Concubine so much, why don't you promote Yun Concubine as a concubine?" The queen mother thought that the emperor was afraid that she would think that the emperor would favor one person, so she said: "That child is a good one, although the time to enter the palace is short, if you are promoted, the mourning family will not stop you, not to mention that you do not favor the concubine, and the Burhaqi family is also beneficial to you." ”
"The son originally had this plan, but after mentioning it to the queen, he was persuaded to do it, and the son felt that he was not in a hurry, and he was even more afraid that after Concubine Yun became a concubine, he would repeat the mistakes of his mother." The last sentence was said by the emperor after hesitating for a long time, his mother was killed by the queen after he was crowned a concubine, and he already had true feelings for Hua Ying, so he would think a lot about Hua Ying, and even think of his own mother.
"It seems that you really like her, but the mourning family also wants to say that you are the emperor, you can be tempted, but you can't give your heart away, understand?" The queen mother's cloudy eyes have seen through too much, and now this means not to stop the emperor from being emotional, and the emotions can be moved, but to keep his sanity and put his heart on himself, rather than pinning it on others, so as not to affect the country.
"The son understands, and the son doesn't treat Yun Concubine to that extent." The emperor actually didn't think that he had completely liked Hua Ying, but he felt that he was a little tempted at most, perhaps because he had not seen many women over the years.
The Queen Mother smiled instead, and the wrinkles on her face represented profound experience: "Sometimes, the more negative it is, the more certain it is." ”
"Let's not talk about this first, how is the eldest brother and the noble Shun here? Concubine Jiang had mentioned to me before that she wanted to pick a fortune for the eldest brother in the draft, and set up a family affair first. ”
"Big brother, that kid, is really impetuous, doesn't know how to respect the elders, and it is estimated that Concubine Jiang is used to it." The queen mother said honestly, she used to like the eldest brother very much, and she thought that this grandson was likable, if she really saw him day and night, she found out his problem: "Shun Guiren let the mourning family like it in her heart, and when she goes back, you will accompany her more, and it is not good for your daughter's house to be thrown aside by you." ”
The emperor touched his nose with some embarrassment: "My son knows, and he didn't snub Shun nobles before......"
"If you don't snub you, you dare to be kicked in the nose and face by someone?" The Queen Mother didn't save face for him, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know that the emperor is biased, and you don't like the stubble of the Shun nobles, when the time comes, the Shun nobles will really live in Cining Palace for a long time, and see where you go to regret it." ”
"The queen mother is too, if she doesn't pay attention to the noble people, how can she just think about the noble people." The emperor also has one thing to say, for the queen mother, there are not too many twists and turns.
"Wu Su Ruining is also a good child, when the mourning family saw that she was good at giving birth and raised, and she was a smart one, she gave it to you, don't always take the kindness of the mourning family as a bad heart." The queen mother remembered something at this time and said: "Your queen, I didn't like the mourning family at the beginning, but the first emperor took a fancy to her family and gave you a concubine, and the mourning family couldn't say anything at that time, but now, you also have to guard against her small actions, the harem battle will not subside, and you, the emperor, can't stay out of the matter, the former dynasty and the harem are all important." ”
Where did the queen mother begin with this? What did the queen do?" The emperor's heart for the empress is respectful, and although the empress sometimes makes herself unhappy, she also thinks that she is a person who takes care of the overall situation.
"The mourning family is said here, no matter how deep it is, it is inconvenient to say it, otherwise the emperor will think that the mourning family is deliberately embarrassing the queen." Don't think that she is an old woman who doesn't know the queen's thoughts, and pointed out that Wu Su Rui pointed to the past, the queen gave herself eye medicine openly and secretly, so that the people in the palace and the emperor misunderstood that she was embarrassed by the queen, and Zhu Li beside her had already helped her inquire clearly.
The emperor kept these words in his heart, although he has been on the throne for many years, but the things in the harem are still not as good as his own queen mother, the queen mother sometimes sees it more thoroughly than him, and it is no harm to listen to the queen mother's advice: "The son knows, the eldest brother also asks the emperor to take care of him and change his temperament, after all, he is the eldest son of the emperor, if he is always so arrogant, he will lose the face of Daqiguo." ”
"This is natural, except that the eldest brother sometimes has a wrong temper, but he still works hard to study, I don't know what kind of blessing the emperor wants to find for the eldest brother?"
"I mean that the family doesn't have to be too high, just innocent, but Concubine Jiang hinted that I was looking for a woman with a noble family, and I was a little embarrassed." It's good that the eldest brother is the eldest son of the emperor, but the family is there, and the emperor has never had the idea of making the eldest brother the crown prince, and he still doesn't even say whether he is the prince or not.
The Queen Mother knew Concubine Jiang's thoughts, and said with a face: "According to the mourning family, Concubine Jiang was also spoiled by the emperor, she was born as a slave, and she just climbed the branch and became a phoenix, what is her son's intention to find a powerful family?"
The Queen Mother was born with orthodox thoughts, so she definitely didn't look down on Concubine Jiang, the emperor liked it at that time, and the Queen Mother didn't care much, and later saw that Concubine Jiang was also generous, no worse than other concubines, and even gave birth to a big brother, the Queen Mother appreciated it a little more, but how did this Concubine Jiang go back more and more, and she didn't know what to fight for and what not to fight.
The emperor didn't know Concubine Jiang's heart, but Concubine Jiang was really good at talking, the emperor stayed in Changxin Palace that night, Concubine Jiang told him that her family was not good, and she knew it in her heart, but she didn't want to involve the eldest brother, the eldest brother had studied hard for so many years, if he didn't give a good family fortune, it would make people laugh and fall into laughter, and the emperor also loved the eldest brother in his heart, after all, he was his first child, and it did make some sense to hear Concubine Jiang say this.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, the queen mother knew that he was embarrassed by Concubine Jiang, so she came up with an idea: "In this way, the emperor will not care about this matter, you are busy with government affairs, you don't have to worry about the marriage of the eldest brother like this, and the next two days is the day for the concubines and concubines of the palace to ask for peace, you go to Kunning Palace in these two days, and talk to the queen first, you will not use it on the day of the draft, and the mourning family will take care of the overall situation." ”
"It's so good, I'm tired of the queen mother." The purpose of the emperor's coming here today is also to let the queen mother help him solve the problem of Concubine Jiang's mother and son, and now that the goal has been achieved, it can be regarded as a trip to Cining Palace in vain.
