Here are some anecdotes about the queen when she was in the boudoir. What Hua Yun said is also true. This is, this is all an old thing decades ago, even the Queen of the Devil herself, has long forgotten, today it was mentioned again by Hua Yun, and the past time resurfaced, the Queen seemed to be much younger in an instant, and her face was also glowing, and she said with a smile: "You little monkey cub, you have a good memory." I've almost forgotten all these old things, but it's rare that you say it refreshingly. It's just that Ling Zun has never told you everything, and there are some details that you Ling Zun deliberately omitted. ”

Everyone looked at Queen Yu suspiciously.

Hua Yun pondered the expression and intention of the queen, and said resolutely: "I beg Niangniang to tell the minister about it." It must be an interesting thing to think about. ”

Queen Yu straightened the front hem of her clothes with her hand, smiled heartily, and said, "Back then, your father also asked someone to come to the Mansion to ask for a kiss. He probably didn't say this to you, did he? ”

"Huh?! I really haven't talked about this. Hua Yun said in surprise.

Queen Yu smiled and said to Yun Ji: "Look, your father is quite good at saving face for himself in front of his son, don't you say?" Hahaha. ”

Yun Ji and the others laughed. It's a relaxed laugh. In the dialogue between Queen Luo and Hua Yun, everyone gradually relaxed, although the purpose of Queen Luo's visit was still unclear, but Queen Luo's kindness was clearly expressed.

Empress Yu also laughed, and said, "You are young, and you are in another county, you may not know much about the affairs in the holy capital. What Hua Junshou said is also the truth. Before I left the cabinet, I did have a good reputation. It's just that after leaving the cabinet, she got the reputation of a jealous woman, and her reputation is not very good. Hahaha. Hua Yun, a little monkey cub, is just good to say, but he doesn't dare to say the rest of it. I'm guessing you've all heard of me being jealous and harsh. The queen's tone was very relaxed and frank, although it was self-deprecating, but it exuded a contemplative charm.

Still, the words can't be picked up. So, Hua Yun made a puzzled look and said, "I haven't heard of this. The minister just listened to the minister's father and the holy capital say that the inside and outside of Prince Yongcheng's palace are different, and the palace is precisely because of the way of Niangniang's governance, which is quite sage. It is precisely because of this that His Majesty and the princes of Niangniang, headed by Prince Jiarong, are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, national talents, and the fathers of the ministers and the nobles in the holy capital, everyone says that this is all due to Niangniang's good governance of the family. ”

It's a very subtle and very clever statement. "There is a difference between inside and outside" is precisely the comment that Queen Yu is most proud of.

The so-called "outside" refers to the absurd behavior of the unscrupulous plan.

The so-called "inside" refers to the queen's good governance.

Both of these things are universally recognized. But few dare to compare them together.

And "there is a difference between inside and outside", but it is extremely clever to do this.

This sentence is very euphemistic to say the indulgence of Tuyu when he was Prince Yongcheng, but it is even more clever to say that the queen is strict internally as a "sage atmosphere", and the most exquisite and clever thing is that the sentence "headed by Prince Jiarong" not only praises the success of all princes' upbringing, and attributes this credit to the queen, but also highlights the leading position of Prince Jiarong. In just four words, the queen is praised for her incomparably wise and virtuous lady.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Queen Yu smiled and nodded slightly, and said, "Your Majesty's princes, their upbringing is indeed quite good. However, my sternness is also true. I've never shied away from that. Moreover, I am particularly harsh and even harsh on His Majesty's dragon heir. When we were still in the palace with His Majesty, the good women, widows, and ladies in the mansion, no matter who was pregnant with His Majesty's dragon fetus, I would personally take care of them. In the past 20 years, none of His Majesty's dragon heirs have died young, nor have they ever had a bad upbringing. Except for the one I gave birth to who was not qualified and not very useful, the rest of the princes were still fighting for us. ”

Hua Yun took the opportunity to speak: "Niangniang's last sentence, the minister really doesn't dare to agree. ”

The queen was surprised: "Oh? Do you think that there is a prince whose virtue is at fault? Today, there is no outsider here, son, just tell me. Come to think of it, I stay in the palace and the palace every day, and there are many things outside that I am not aware of, but there are always them. Child, if you hear or see anything bad, tell me that I will save you. This is a matter of royal dignity and even survival, and I am more grateful to you. Don't hesitate to say it. The queen's tone was very earnest.

Hua Yun smiled and said, "It's all because the minister didn't make it clear, which caused the mother to misunderstand." Ministers are guilty, please forgive your sins, and please let your mother be relieved first. The minister's meaning is not to say that any prince has a loss of virtue. All princes are dragons among men, and this is obvious to all. ”

"And what do you mean?" The queen held her knees, a little puzzled.

"I really don't agree with the comment that the minister said to Prince Jiarong."

"Hey, you kid, you mean rank. His qualifications are indeed foolish, and everyone knows that. I've never been taboo myself. You don't have to be taboo. ”

"Chen's father once talked to the minister about Prince Jiarong, and there was a judgment. The minister thought it was the most proper. ”

"Oh? What did he say? ”

"The minister's father said that Prince Jiarong has the utmost virtue from heaven, and he can't have this atmosphere if he is not a benevolent lord."

He was gifted with dullness and slowness of mind, and praised him with "God-given virtue" and expected him with "benevolence", which not only cleverly avoided his obvious defects, but also faintly had the meaning of "God made his mind insufficient, precisely to give him the most beautiful virtue, so that virtue reigns over the world". As a result, the original flaw instantly turned into an unparalleled talent. This judgment is really powerful.

Empress Yu nodded and said, "Prince Jiarong is indeed able to stand up in virtue. She stared at Hua Yun with a meaningful look for a moment, brought out an inconspicuous smile and nodded, and then turned to Yun Ji and said, "Hey, how did you talk about it, and you got there." Let's not talk about the bastards of the Rank Brothers. I have been talking about the dragon heir, I came to see you today, firstly, to see you who have newly entered the palace, and secondly, to tell you about the dragon heir. There are some things that you don't know, and most of the people outside don't know, and if they do, they don't dare to tell you. So, I'm going to have to explain it to you, so that you can understand it in your heart. We are all His Majesty's concubines, and we still have to understand these things in our hearts, pay more attention, and work harder. ”

Yun Ji said: "Please give me instructions." ”

"The instructions are indescribable. Yun Ji, it has been thirteen years since the founding of the country, and the first emperor Longwu the Great and the current majesty have no male heirs. However, the first emperor Longwu the Great and His Majesty today are both strong men in their prime, and the harem is also full. Therefore, the royal family has no male heirs, and it has slowly become a strange thing. There is a lot of gossip in the world, and some words are still difficult to hear. ”

Empress Yu tidied up her clothes, took another sip of tea, shook her head and said: "There are probably some old and young remnants of the previous dynasty who stirred up and made trouble. Royal affairs, no matter how big or small, as long as they are put into the mouths of the public, it will be a big deal. In the long run, it will inevitably affect the people's will, and then affect the country's fortunes. Emperor Longwu put a lot of effort into this, but still found nothing. His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is in the prime of life, if he can get a dragon son, he can dispel the rumors among the people. Therefore, Yun Jiao'e, you must fight for your strength and give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty. This merit is no less than the siege of the city! When the time comes, I will ask Your Majesty to canonize you as Zhaoyi. ”

Yun Jiao'e's mind is very fast, and her thinking is also very deep, although the queen said it is above board, but her true thoughts are not clear, at this time, you must not be reckless, self-preservation, low-key is the best policy, so she bowed and said: "Concubine thank the queen for her grace and expectations." The concubine has suddenly risen from a lowly Liuchuan dancing girl to a high position of E'e, and she is already sincerely afraid, and she really doesn't dare to expect anything else. Just want to be able to serve the queen for a long time, and the concubine will be satisfied. ”

Empress Yu understood Yun Ji's words, "If you can really give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty, it is enough to prove that you are a person with great blessings, and everything is what you deserve." You don't have to be too humble. Also, in the future, you don't want to emphasize in front of outsiders that you are from the background of the Ryukawa Maihime. A few days ago, I killed the big autumn willow who had been with me for many years, do you know why? ”

Yun Ji, Ling Ji, and Die Ji shook their heads and said, "The concubine doesn't know. ”

Queen Yu frowned and said, "It's because that dog slave belittled your background in public." This is something I will never tolerate. ”

Yun Ji immediately said: "The concubine thanked Niangniang for her grace of preservation." The mother is as virtuous as the sky, and the concubine will never forget. ”

Queen Yu said: "This is not only for your dignity, but also for the dignity of the dragon heir, in the final analysis, it is all for the dignity of Your Majesty." The heir of the dragon is a matter of the face of the heavenly family, the hearts of the people, and the government, and it is not sloppy at all. The reason why Your Majesty and I let you recognize Hua Chong as your father is also out of this consideration. Do you still understand what we mean? ”

"The concubine will never forget the grace of His Majesty and the queen's mother." Yun Ji's eyes were moist.

"We're family, you don't have to be polite. I tell you what I mean from my heart, I have always been disgusted by those who charm the Lord. When you first entered the palace, because of your identity as a Rukawa Maiji, I used to be very disgusted, and I once advocated expelling you from the palace. But then, I slowly changed my mind. As soon as I came, I think Your Majesty really loves you, and with your comfort, Your Majesty finally has a place to relax after being busy with state affairs. In this regard, I and the other concubines are far inferior to you. Second, you are blessed after all, and soon conceived a dragon heir for Your Majesty. That's a lot of credit. I have put aside my prejudices against you and begged Your Majesty to take care of your daily life during pregnancy. When I came today, I found that you have a beautiful and elegant appearance and graceful demeanor, and you are born with a noble atmosphere, and even those women from noble relatives may not have such a calm and graceful bearing as you. Therefore, I conclude that you are not a fox. Even Ling Ji and Dieji are also good children who are dignified all the way. That's good. I used to be too arbitrary, and I almost mistook you. The queen smiled, her tone full of sincere guilt.

Queen Yu got up and walked to Yun Ji's side, stroked Yun Ji's face with one hand, and said kindly: "I came today, originally to protect the dragon heir, but I didn't expect to see you at first sight, I really like it in my heart." I am twenty years older than you, and although I have the status of a sister because I serve Your Majesty together, in fact, it is two generations, and we can be mother and daughter. I don't have a girl under my knees, and I like a little girl's home like you the most. In the future, if you have anything, just look for me. From now on, no one will dare to bully you. I'll come to see you often, too. It's just that I'm quite boring, don't think I'm an old woman boring. ”

Yun Ji showed a smile that only a child has, and said with tears in her eyes: "The queen mother is the supreme and noble phoenix, if you don't dislike Yun Ji, it's too late for the concubine to be happy." "Yun Ji grew up in Liuchuan Lefu since she was a child, and she has never experienced the love of mother and daughter and enjoyed maternal love. Therefore, Queen Yu's sentence "You can be a mother and daughter" hit her sore spot at once. Her original wariness and fear of Queen Yu were swept away, and this jealous woman in other people's mouths had a straightforwardness that an ordinary woman could have. Queen Yu did not shout and ask for warmth, tenderness and sweetness like ordinary women, her tone was dignified and cold, and sometimes even harsh and tough, but Yun Ji felt that this appearance was more amiable and cute. Yun Ji thought, this is probably the feeling of mother-daughter love.

Empress Yu said: "Yun Ji, your father Hua Chong and I estimate that he is about to arrive in the Holy Capital. When the time comes, you can't be sloppy in the ceremony of recognizing your relatives. Your Majesty and I will go. It's your big thing, and it's a royal big thing. Your Majesty and I will definitely call the shots for you. ”

Yun Ji said: "Concubine thank Your Majesty and Niangniang for your grace. ”

Queen Yu said to Hua Yun again: "Hua Yun, your Washington must make the ceremony beautiful this time, and don't insult Yun Jiao'e's identity." Fahrenheit is the richest man in Dazhao, money is not a problem, the key is your attitude towards Fahrenheit. I also said that this is not a matter for your Hua family, but a major matter related to the royal face and the people's hearts. Do you understand the implications? ”

Hua Yun said loudly: "Huh." Chancellor understood. Rest assured, Fahrenheit, will never live up to the trust of His Majesty and Niangniang. ”

"That's good! I can trust Hua Chong, and I can trust you! Yun Jiao'e, I sent all the other concubines to Jianzhang Palace to escape the summer, and now there are just you and me and Empress Xuanren in the palace. You can just go out and walk around without worrying. Don't always shrink in the Yinglu Palace, if you are depressed for a long time, people will get sick. You go about and walk around. Hua Yun, if Yun Jiao'e goes out, you have to serve well, and if you make a mistake, I won't be able to spare you. ”

"Wow. The queen is reassured. Yun Ji said.

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." Hua Yun said.

"After the autumn equinox, the other concubines will all come back. When the time comes, you don't have to worry too much. My temperament, they have long known, the most intolerable thing for me is to make black dirty, especially to do things on the dragon heir, I will never tolerate it. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be granted. When I was in the palace, I ordered the rod to kill some women. Those who don't know the truth outside say that I killed because of jealousy, but in fact they all misunderstood me. I slew those women with my rod because they were instructed to poison the dragon's heir. I have never killed a woman with a rod for any other reason than that. Although I myself have a reputation for being jealous and good at killing, but it has played a role in the survival of the fittest and the deterrence of palace discipline, and now these concubines are still relatively obedient and generous, so there should be no dirty things happening. However, we should not take this lightly. After all, this is a harem, and it's not quite the same as the outside. This person, as soon as he arrived in the palace, his mood changed greatly. In short, Yun Ji, you have to be more careful yourself. ”

"Yes. The concubine obeys the queen's decree. ”

Queen Yu stood up, took Yun Ji's hand and said, "Okay." I've been with you long enough. You are a man with a body, and it is a hot day, so you can't be so tired. I'm going to visit Empress Xuanren, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you another day. ”

Yun Ji wanted to send off Queen Luo, but Queen Luo resolutely stopped: "You don't have to be polite to me." As long as you give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty peacefully, it is better than any false courtesy. I'll come more in the future, you don't need so many courtesies, it's better to be more comfortable. Okay? ”

"Wow. Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother. ”

Hua Yun diligently sent the queen out of Yinglu Palace. Guan Yu had already been waiting outside the palace gate of Yinglu Palace, and when he saw Queen Yu and Hua Yun talking and laughing, Lili Suo saluted and said respectfully: "In accordance with the queen's decree, the minister has made preliminary arrangements. I came to tell the queen. ”

"You're Mali, I'll hear how you arrange it."

Guan Yu handed over a list and said, "Queen Mother, please see, this is the candidate listed by the minister to guard Yinglu Palace." Among them, there are not only people from Shaofu, but also a few clansmen with superb medical skills found by the minister from the Guan clan. The ministers arranged shifts for all these people, divided into two shifts for twelve hours, and guarded the Yinglu Palace in shifts to ensure that the Yinglu Palace was guarded by medical officers at all times. ”

"So what do you do yourself? Is it just sitting on the throne? ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be so lazy. The minister himself led the head, and he was on duty outside the palace, and he was on duty for twelve hours. ”

Queen Yu nodded and said, "That's very appropriate." It's hard for you to be so thoughtful, and you have to be on duty personally. Thank you for your hard work. This is a big deal, and only then can I feel more at ease. It's a good setting now. However, no matter how meticulously planned in advance, unexpected things will happen. Therefore, you should think more carefully and never let your guard down. I'm still saying that, it's a big deal. You're a delicate person, you must know what I mean. ”

"The minister understands Niangniang's foresight."

"Good, good. In short, you must be dedicated. I won't say anything else. I just wait for the moment when Yun Jiao'e gives birth to the dragon son, and then I will reward you greatly. If there is any emergency, you can go directly to the Changqiu Palace to report to me. ”

"Whoa." Guan Yan was extremely refreshing and promised.
