Chapter 180: The Queen's Virtue
"So, you know everything?" Empress Dowager Xu asked weakly.
"It's nature!" Queen Wang nodded and said, "But considering the face of the queen mother, the minister would rather rot this matter to the stomach than mention it." ”
Forcing herself to prop herself up, Empress Dowager Xu sat up, stared into Queen Wang's eyes and asked, "When did you find out that person was not Xi'er?" ”
Queen Wang's eyes suddenly became a little blurry, and she said with memories: "It should be said that on the night of the fire in the Heart Cultivation Hall last year, Erchen knew that person was not Zhao Chenxi at all!" ”
recalled that night, Zhang Lingyang fell asleep in his bed, and Queen Wang carefully looked at Zhang Lingyang's face.
But inadvertently, Queen Wang found that the person who shared the bed with her did not have a birthmark behind the right ear at all.
As Zhao Chenxi's wife, how could Queen Wang not know that Zhao Chenxi had a birthmark behind her ear?
At that time, the queen wanted to make a statement.
But in the end, after thinking about it carefully, once someone finds out about it, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my position as queen, and it is more likely that I will affect my family because of this.
After all, an unchaste queen cannot be tolerated in any dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that the queen did not make a noise.
Later, after she became pregnant, Queen Wang buried this matter deep in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that he found out that the atmosphere in Cining Palace was a little wrong these days, and he had an extra heart, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable......
When Queen Wang told the story, Empress Dowager Xu smiled bitterly: "So, you already like him?" ”
"Nope!" Queen Wang shook her head with a dripping expression and said, "In this harem, how dare your sons hope for any love?" ”
Looking up at the Empress Dowager Xu, Empress Wang asked, "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother has never liked the first emperor!" ”
"You ......" Empress Dowager Xu was so blocked that she almost fainted.
Taking a deep breath, Empress Dowager Xu said, "Now that the matter has been known to you, how are you going?" ”
The queen smiled bitterly and said, "What can the sons and daughters do? How dare you? ”
Looking at the Empress Dowager Xu with expectant eyes, Queen Wang begged: "Queen Mother, isn't this bad?" Anyway, for more than a year, Erchen has lived a very comfortable life!
Although His Majesty has this and that shortcoming, he has never put on a face to his sons, nor has he ever said a word of weight to his sons.
Queen Mother, can't you rest assured that you can live in the palace and have children and grandchildren? ”
"However, after all, the mourning family has raised Xi'er for so many years...... "Empress Dowager Xu is still a little unwilling in her heart.
Regarding the words of the Empress Dowager Xu, Queen Wang didn't know how much was true and how much was false, so she could only move it with emotion, and said with reason: "Queen Mother, the emperor's current power has been deeply rooted, even if you are the queen mother, you can't shake it." ”
"How so? But he is obviously not the Son of Heaven! Empress Dowager Xu refused to admit defeat.
The queen said, "Try this, don't believe it. Not to mention anything else, even if the ministers of the court and the central government know that the emperor is not the real Son of Heaven, who will stand up against it?
Is it Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, or Sun Ding'an, the prince of Ningguo? Or is it Zhu Kaishan, the secretary of the household department, Cao Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Pei, the secretary of the criminal department? Or even Zhang Zhiyuan?
You know, they all have daughters in the palace as concubines!
The moment they entered the palace, they were firmly tied to the emperor, could it be that the queen mother didn't consider this? ”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Xu was a little shaken, Queen Wang said again: "Even the Empress Dowager, you have been tied to the emperor, think about Sister Wanming, think about the Xu family?"
Once the emperor really dies, what will happen to Sister Wanming? What kind of situation will the Xu family face? These, could it be that the queen mother really didn't think about it? ”
Thinking of her mother's family, Empress Dowager Xu was completely shaken, and her face was full of remorse.
With a sigh, Empress Dowager Xu said: "The mourning family admits that the mourning family has been persuaded by you, but now it's too late."
After discovering that person was not Xi'er, the mourning family not only ordered Mama Zhou to pass on the word to Mrs. Zhou and King Anping, but also ordered someone to secretly go to Jiangnan with the edict of the mourning family to contact those gentry."
"The queen mother is confused!" Hearing this, Queen Wang really didn't know what to say, "I'm afraid that today's incident is a conspiracy planned by the gentry in Jiangnan, I'm afraid that when the queen mother's decree arrives, they will definitely raise troops under the banner of the queen mother, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that ......"
Although Empress Wang's words were not finished, Empress Dowager Xu understood that once the gentry in Jiangnan had an excuse to raise troops, it would not be too late to be afraid of chaos in the world......
Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lingyang was already standing by the window at some point, listening carefully to the conversation between the Empress Dowager Xu and Queen Wang in the house.
In fact, after coughing up blood, Zhang Lingyang already had a bit of a situation.
After relieving himself on the bed, Zhang Lingyang felt more and more that something was wrong tonight, and after asking Sun Sheng some information, he came to Cining Palace with Sun Sheng's support.
At this time, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help the conversation in Zhang Lingyang's house anymore, strode in, and said: "The queen mother is at ease, those gentry in Jiangnan can't make any waves!" ”
"Your Majesty?"
"Emperor?"
Seeing Zhang Lingyang's sudden arrival, whether it was Empress Dowager Xu or Empress Wang, their faces were full of surprise.
Giving Queen Wang a reassuring look, after Zhang Lingyang sat down, he motioned for all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room to go out, and then said: "I listened to the conversation between the queen mother and the queen before. ”
Seeing that there was a sad look behind Mrs. Xu, Zhang Lingyang chuckled and said: "But don't worry, the queen mother, you will still be my queen mother in the future, as for the affairs of the imperial court, I have already made arrangements, so the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it anymore!" ”
After relieving Empress Dowager Xu, Zhang Lingyang got up with Empress Wang and left Cining Palace.
Coming to Changchun Palace, lying on the bed, Zhang Lingyang hugged the willow waist of the queen and said: "Tonight, thanks to the queen, otherwise, my life will not be guaranteed!" ”
"This is what a concubine should do!" Queen Wang replied with a smile.
Neither of them mentioned tonight and Zhao Chenxi's incident again, it was just a farce!
However, since then, Zhang Lingyang has treated the queen more and more differently, and even after quelling the Jiangnan gentry rebellion, he canonized Zhao Hao, who had just turned one year old, as the crown prince.
Of course, this is an afterthought, so let's not talk about it for now.
However, the next morning, after the morning dynasty, Zhang Lingyang issued an edict to entitle Xu Jieyu, that is, Xu Wanming as Xu Concubine.
The entire canonization ceremony was naturally presided over by the queen herself.
The canonization ceremony was held very grandly, even surpassing the concubine when Zheng Guifei was canonized.
In this regard, many concubines in the palace complained very much, and there were all kinds of cool words.
But no one dared to say it to her face, after all, Xu Wanming was also the queen mother's niece.
And Empress Dowager Xu is naturally very satisfied with this.
Including Zhang Lingyang, Empress Dowager Xu's attitude has also changed greatly, and since then, she has no longer interfered in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and her relationship with Zhang Lingyang is very harmonious.
And, although Zhao Chenxi was raised by Empress Dowager Xu from childhood, after all, he is only an adopted son, and he is not his own son, how much affection can he give?
Besides, in the harem, sometimes biological children will also be used, let alone an adopted son?
