Princess Jimo - The Queen Who Pretends to Be Sick (77)
The queen exhaled heavily and sighed: "Okay, the girl who has been with me since the day she left the pavilion is actually a person sent by my father, Ziqing, where did you put me?" ”
Ziqing's body trembled when she heard this, and she knew that she couldn't stand the queen's mother, but as a slave, she didn't have the right to refuse, and when she raised her eyes again, there were tears in her eyes.
"Back to Niangniang, the slave knows that she has made a big mistake, how does the slave and maid punish the slave and maid, the slave and maid have nothing to say", Ziqing's words changed: "But Niangniang, you are the master of the harem, the mother of a country, you can't do nothing like this!" It's not just for you, it's for your own preservation! Ziqing was loud and reasonable.
The queen's eyes were calm and she analyzed rationally.
"Father, as the ruler of the country, it is better to be an idle civil servant with great power, otherwise the emperor will not rest assured, as for myself", the queen looked at the emerald green by the window: "I live in peace like this, it is the wish of the rest of my life, and I don't care how many times the emperor can come to me every month." "What the queen said was from the bottom of her heart, in order to prevent the emperor from coming to her Jiaofang Palace, she had been sick for dozens of days.
"!" Ziqing didn't give up, and wanted to persuade: "Isn't Niangniang thinking about the eldest prince and the second princess?" You think that's great, but do they think so too? ”
"Okay", the queen waved her hand to stop: "Now Yan'er is very important to his father, and she is the prince of Jimo, as for Yue'er, I am even less worried, she is gentle and polite, and her demeanor is extraordinary, as long as the palace decrees, she can choose Lang Jun at will." ”
"Niangniang is so sure that the emperor will make the eldest prince the crown prince?" Ziqing didn't say anything.
Lu Huan was shocked, wishing he could plug Ziqing's mouth: "Ziqing, do you know what you're talking about?" When I looked at Niangniang again, my face was as frost as ever.
The queen's face was like ice: "Yan'er is the eldest son of Jimo, and he is the best candidate for the prince." ”
Ziqing sneered: "If the eldest prince makes a big mistake, does the queen think the emperor will forgive him?" ”
"Yan'er is gentle and courteous, and knows state affairs, how can she make mistakes?!"
"There is nothing absolutely impossible in the world", Ziqing's voice changed: "Besides, even if the eldest prince has nothing to do, how can he guarantee that he will not be designed by someone with a heart?" Queen Mother, you must control everything in the harem with all your strength in order to protect the prince and princess. Ziqing's words are beautiful.
The queen was silent and silent.
"Niangniang, you also think the slave is reasonable, don't you?" Ziqing said earnestly: "So, please also ask Niangniang to work hard for the prince." ”
"Ziqing, get up, you hide my identity, just leave it at that, in the future, you will only be my maidservant, no longer the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will not blame you in the past." The queen said slowly.
"Thank you, Queen!" With tears in the corners of Ziqing's eyes, she knew that Niangniang was still thinking of her good.
"Ziqing." Seeing this, Lu Huan helped Ziqing up.
Ziqing endured her numb knees and looked at the queen.
"Mother, what do you think now?" Ziqing quickly thought about what Niangniang had to do now in order to establish her prestige in the shortest possible time.
"I'll talk about this later." The queen looked away.
"?!" Zi Qing was shocked: "Aren't you going to fight back?!" You can't just give up power to someone else! ”
"Enough, I don't want to hear it." The queen stopped.
Lu Huan quickly tugged at Ziqing's sleeve and motioned to her with her lips to stop talking.
Ziqing tried to persuade regardless of it, but before she could open her mouth, the voice of the palace maid outside came.
"Queen Mother, the second princess is here." The second-class maid at the door spoke.
Ziqing put away the words that were about to blurt out, pulled her arm out of Lu Huan's arms, and stood aside.
The queen returned to her elegant and elegant expression.
"Hurry up and invite the second princess in!" Green Wrap said loudly.
As soon as the door of the Jiaofang Hall opened, Mo Yue walked in in a graceful manner, her eyebrows and eyes were bright and dignified, and her smile was not much more, nor was it a little bit, which would not make people feel frivolous or give people a sense of smirk.
"Queen Mother, Yue'er has come to greet your mother." Ji Mo Yue made a greeting ceremony, and only when she was in front of the queen, Ji Mo Yue looked like her age, and a kind of girl's naivety was naturally revealed.
"Here we are." The queen beckoned and motioned for Ji Moyue to step forward.
Ji Moyue threw herself into the arms of the queen and enjoyed the warm embrace of the queen mother.
"Queen Mother, the emperor hasn't seen you for a long time." Ji Moyue was coquettish softly.
The queen's smile appeared, and her gaze at Ji Moyue softened.
"Recently, there have been too many chores in the palace, and Yue'er has worked hard to take care of her mother."
Ji Moyue shook his head: "The emperor is not hard, it is the emperor's honor to share the worries of the queen mother." "The eldest brother can solve problems for his father in the previous dynasty, and as a woman, he can help his mother deal with some trivial matters in the harem, which can be regarded as doing his part.
Ziqing's eyes were dissatisfied: the queen mother pushed all the affairs she wanted to take care of to the princess, the princess was so busy that she didn't eat well for several days, but the queen spent her days in the Jiaofang Palace, how can there be such a reason?
Lu Huan smiled: "The princess chatted with the mother first, and the slave maid went to make a pot of good tea for the princess." ”
"Thank you, Sister Greenwind." Ji Moyue smiled on his face.
The queen stretched out her hand and gently touched Ji Moyue's head, and both mother and daughter enjoyed such a quiet and beautiful time......
"By the way, Queen Mother, the emperor has something to say." Ji Moyue suddenly raised his head.
"What's the matter? Sit down and talk about it. The queen let go of Ji Moyue and pulled her towards the table and chair.
"Queen Mother, my grandmother has handed over the power of the Associate Sixth House to me." Ji Moyue sat down on the chair and picked up a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.
"When?" The queen was slightly surprised. The Queen Mother is cautious and must think twice before acting. Why did you suddenly hand over power to Yue'er?
Ji Moyue replied: "It's the time to say hello to the Queen Mother's grandmother this morning." ”
"Do you know why?"
Ji Moyue shook his head: "The emperor also thought it was very strange, but grandmother didn't say it, and the emperor didn't ask." ”
The queen nodded thoughtfully: "You're right that you didn't ask." "The Queen Mother's mind is difficult to guess, and it is wise for Yue'er not to ask.
"Since the Queen Mother has entrusted you with the power of the six palaces of the assistant, you will help the queen mother more in the future and manage the six palaces for the queen mother." The queen smiled softly.
Ji Moyue pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor knows, the queen mother's body is better now?" ”
Ziqing can't stand it anymore, the queen mother is not sick at all, but under the pretext of her weak body, she coaxed the princess to handle official business for her three or four times, and now she still has to call it sick?
The queen's eyes remained unchanged: "It's better, with Yue'er's help these days, the queen mother feels very comfortable, and she thinks that it will be beneficial to her condition, and she will get better soon." ”
Ji Moyue's face was delighted: "Really?!" ”
"Nature." The queen smiled and nodded.
"From then on, the emperor will help the queen mother deal with some trivial matters, so that the queen mother will not work so hard." Ji Moyue made up her mind.
The queen smiled and pinched Ji Moyue's face: "Then the queen mother will thank Yue'er." ”
"Princess, have you finished your palace affairs today?" Ziqing suddenly spoke.
"Not yet", that is, Mo Yue pouted: "It took a lot of time to ask the Queen Mother this morning, and there are still a lot of things in the Mingyue Palace right now!" ”
Ji Moyue put down the teacup and got up: "Queen Mother, the emperor will go back first, and come back another day to greet the Queen Mother."
"Go ahead." The queen's voice was gentle: "Watch your body, I'll ask Luhuan to send you a bowl of bird's nest soup later." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Ji Moyue smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and he was cute.
The queen looked at Ji Moyue's departing back, her eyes were deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking......
"Let's go, let's go to Zichen Palace." The queen spoke suddenly.
"Yes, sissy." Green around, Ziqing responded.
In the Zichen Palace, the Queen Mother was having lunch.
"Queen Mother, the Queen is here." Mama Tong reports.
"Why is the queen here today", the queen mother put down her chopsticks: "Please come in." ”
"Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, please come in." Mama Tong reports.
The queen was dressed in a plain dress, supported by two personal palace maids, and slowly entered from outside the palace.
"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." The queen bowed slightly and gave a salute.
"Hurry up", the Queen Mother smiled deeply: "Why did Ah Yi remember to come to see me today?" "Ah Yi is the queen's maiden name, most people don't know, and only the queen mother, that is, the queen's aunt, knows her maiden name in the palace.
The queen's smile was gentle and generous: "Auntie, the concubine heard that you have handed over the power of the assistant six palaces in your hands to Yue'er." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes, I just made the decision when I asked for peace today, I didn't expect you to know it so quickly." ”
"Yue'er was very happy, and she came to tell her concubine." The queen pursed her lips and smiled.
The Queen Mother picked up the teacup: "Yue'er is smart, and she is neither too harsh nor too indulgent in handling things, such a combination of leniency and severity is enough to make the people in the palace vigilant and hand over the power of the six palaces to her, and the mourning family can not be more assured." The Queen Mother squinted and smiled, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with her handing over power to Ji Moyue.
"Yue'er is indeed outstanding, and the concubines are also proud of her."
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, the tea leaves were fragrant, and she was in a comfortable mood with a sip of tea.
"Yue'er can be said to be the best of these princesses, it's not in vain that I have cultivated for so many years", the Queen Mother suddenly remembered something and looked at the queen: "If you want me to say, Yue'er is really like you back then, with the same temperament as Lan, the same gentle conscience and courtesy, and a degree of advance and retreat." ”
The queen lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "My aunt praised it falsely, how can my concubine be so good as my aunt said." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head: "When I was just promoted to the Queen Mother, the emperor ascended the throne, and all the old ministers in the court couldn't sit still, and they all asked the emperor to immediately elect the queen of the main palace. ”
The queen was slightly surprised, and looked at the queen mother in disbelief.
