Chapter 229 Make room for the new Queen Mother
The concubine in front of her, and the concubine more than ten days ago, are really-as if they are a different person.
Although "people are in good spirits when they are happy" - Concubine Ligui also knows what Concubine Wan thinks is a "happy event" - she still did not expect that a woman can change so much in just a few days, it can be said that it can be said that it is ...... Reborn, even ...... Reincarnate as a human being.
Concubine Ligui knew that there were quite a few people in the palace and in the house, saying that after the death of Emperor Wenzong, the concubine was bored, and she washed her face with tears and had no intention of dressing up, and the whole person was haggard. The age of the noble concubine is two years younger than that of the "west", but the comparison between the two is compared by the "west".
However, as soon as Princess Rong'an's intention to marry was released, the concubine immediately seemed to be a different person, radiant, and within a few days, the style of the six palaces was back! People muttered, the most amazing thing is the fine lines on the concubine's face, which are seen less and less day by day, and finally, they are all gone! A face is like a peeled hard-boiled egg, which is called a smooth and smooth one!
Everyone secretly said that the concubine "grew back"!
Thinking of these, Concubine Ligui sighed in her heart: The concubine in front of her is another "long back", and she sees that the "long" one is even "faster" than herself!
Concubine Ligui took Concubine Wan's hand and looked at her face tightly, Concubine Wan, who was looking directly, was a little embarrassed, pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to say something, Concubine Ligui sighed and spoke: "Alas! Before, I always felt that I was useless, but now. I'm a person. It's finally getting a little bit of use! β
Concubine Wan didn't expect it. Concubine Ligui would say such a sentence, she was stunned, and inexplicably moved to her heart, her nose was sour, and her eyes immediately turned red: "Sister, you are really mine...... Benefactor! β
"Don't say that," said Concubine Ligui, "you haven't ...... yet."
A change of thought. Wake up and see that she is still outside, and there are others next to her, although Gong'er is Concubine Wan's personal maid, she can't say anything in front of her, so she stopped in time and changed her words: "When the matter is really done, you can thank me again, it's not too late." β
"That's for sureβit's going to work out, and it's going to be quicker than I thought!"
Concubine Ligui was slightly stunned. "It will be faster than you originally thought" - what does that mean?
"I'm distressed," Concubine Wan smiled. "When the time comes, I don't know what to take Sister Xie? Well, when the time comes, what else will my sister look at? β
Concubine Ligui was slightly stunned again: What do you mean by "When the time comes, what else will my sister look at"?
"You are a female Zhuge ," she smiled, "I don't understand anything, I ask you for advice, you point me out, let me open my mind, this thank you gift is very valuable." β
Concubine Wan's eyes flashed, and she said, "I can't afford to say this, but what does my sister command, I ...... Knowing everything, saying everything. β
After entering the dormitory, the guests and hosts sat down, Gong'er served tea, and Concubine Wan said: "You go outside to take a look, don't stand in the bright room or under the corridor." β
Gong'er understood, replied "yes", blessed a blessing, and withdrew.
"I came from Zhongcui Palace," Concubine Ligui frowned slightly, "Originally, I was going to go with Liniuer to greet the Queen Mother, but I couldn't get in at the door of Zhongcui Palace." β
"Oh?"
Concubine Wan's eyes jumped slightly.
"Meng Jingzhong of Zhongcui Palace," said Concubine Ligui, "spread the words of 'Shangtou', and said that it was ...... Well, 'I'm restless right now, but I've met with the concubine and the princess, and I'm sad for each other, so it's better not to meet for the time being'. This ......"
After a pause, he said hesitantly, "This has never been done before, in my heart, I am really not very steady, you see ......"
Speaking of which, he looked at Concubine Wan with the eyes of asking for help.
Concubine Wan didn't speak, her head hung slightly, her long eyelashes kept fluttering, and it could be seen that she was thinking nervously.
Her appearance made Concubine Ligui's heart even higher.
After a long while, Concubine Wan raised her head, her eyes shining.
"Sister, are you worried that the Queen Mother and Queen Mother will treat you and Li...... Ah no, Princess Rong'an, what's the ...... Where the misunderstanding lies? β
"Uh, yes......"
paused slightly, "If you call Liniuer, just call 'Liniuer', what kind of princess is not a princess?" β
Concubine Wan shook her head slightly, "No, this time is different!" β
Concubine Ligui wanted to say something, Concubine Wan waved her hand, and Concubine Ligui had to stop.
"Sister, you're thinking too much!" Concubine Wan's voice was not high, but it was clear, "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother can no longer have the slightest misunderstanding between you and Princess Rong'an, not to mention that the Queen Mother has always regarded Princess Rong'an as her own - to be honest, her own daughter may not be so close!" β
After a pause, "The most important thing is that the second half of the queen mother's life depends on you two mothers and daughters!" β
Concubine Ligui was stunned: "You...... What do you mean? β
Concubine Wan did not respond positively to Concubine Ligui's question, and continued to say her own words: "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are not seeing you and Princess Rong'an today, just to ...... Avoid arousing suspicion. β
The words "avoid suspicion", Concubine Wan accentuated her tone.
Concubine Ligui was confused: "Avoid suspicion? What to avoid? β
"In two days, the 'Council of Ministers' will be convened."
At the beginning, Concubine Ligui hadn't turned a corner, and the "Council of Ministers" ...... What's that? Why didn't the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother see herself and Liniuer for the "Royal Council of Ministers"? Avoid arousing suspicion...... What exactly is this "suspicion"?
But she finally reacted.
"You mean-" Concubine Ligui trembled, her face had changed greatly, and her words were extremely difficult, "You mean ......?"
Concubine Wan nodded solemnly: "After this 'Wang's Ministers' meeting, whether Princess Rong'an can 'inherit the throne' and 'inherit the heir' is about to be decided." β
In Concubine Ligui's mind, there was a "buzzing" sound, and there was no trace of blood on her face.
"It's a good thing." Concubine Wan said. "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are not good to see you. Otherwise, some people will say something like 'internal and external collusion' and 'private teaching and receiving'. β
Concubine Ligui's mind was "buzzing" more and more, and Concubine Wan's words seemed to be floating around far, far away.
"Sister, I want to congratulate you!" Concubine Wan's eyes burned, "The mind of the 'above' has been decided!" Otherwise. What to avoid? β
In Concubine Ligui's ears, Concubine Wan's voice suddenly became extremely clear, and every word hit Concubine Ligui's heart like a bell:
"Our 'heir emperor' of the Qing Dynasty must be Princess Rong'an!"
Concubine Ligui's heart was "pounding", her mouth was dry for a while, and she opened her mouth. But nothing was said.
She was dizzy and couldn't help but close her eyes.
"Sister. Sister! β
Concubine Ligui opened her eyes and saw Concubine Wan standing in front of her, bent over, her face full of concern.
Concubine Wan's right hand is holding her left arm, and her left hand is holding her right hand. Thinking about it, Fang Cai was so dizzy that she couldn't sit steadily, so Concubine Wan quickly got up and came over to support herself.
"I'm better," Concubine Ligui sighed softly, "Thank you......"
"It's really ......'exhaling like an orchid'."
Concubine Wan's face showed an unpredictable strange smile, she raised her right hand and stretched it out to Concubine Ligui's cheek, Concubine Ligui subconsciously shrank slightly, but did not dodge, Concubine Wanfei took advantage of the situation to gather the sideburns for Concubine Ligui - Concubine Ligui's sideburns, in fact, they were not scattered, Concubine Wan's action was equivalent to touching Concubine Ligui's ear gently.
Concubine Ligui was a spirit, and her face, which was originally so white that there was no trace of blood, immediately turned inexplicably red.
However, in this way, it diluted her shock a lot.
Concubine Wan's hand was taken back, and the strange smile on her face became even stronger: "I have never seen such a handsome queen mother." β
The three words "Queen Mother" made Concubine Ligui tremble again, her face turned a little pale, and she said weakly: "You, don't say that......"
Concubine Wan let go of Concubine Ligui and sat back in her seat.
"What, my sister doesn't want to be the queen mother?"
"I don't want to!" Concubine Ligui's voice was mixed with a little horror, "I don't want to at all!" β
Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to express herself accurately.
After a while, Concubine Ligui said in a trembling voice: "I finally escaped from this Sifang Tian, but I don't want to come in again!" You, aren't you ...... too"
Concubine Wan smiled softly and said, "Sister, you don't like to live here, because you live here, you have to look at other people's faces, and you have to look up to other people's snorts!" There is a huge Forbidden City, except for Yonghe Palace, nowhere is yours - in fact, even if Yonghe Palace, it may not be yours! β
paused slightly, "My Jingren Palace, needless to say!" β
"But," Concubine Wan's body leaned forward slightly towards Concubine Ligui, "You become the queen mother, and the entire Forbidden City is yours!" When the time comes, it won't be you looking at other people's faces and looking up at other people's snorts! It's that others look at your face and look up to your snort! If I were you...... Why bother to 'go out of the palace and live separately'? β
"When the time comes" - Concubine Ligui suddenly remembered what Concubine Wan said before entering the dormitory, "When the time comes, I don't know what to take Sister Xie?" Well, when the time comes, what else will my sister look at? β
"When the time comes" - that's what it means.
"What about the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother? Or be her queen mother! It's justβ"
"Just what?"
"It's just...... You may not still be living in the Forbidden City. β
"Don't live in the Forbidden City? That...... Where to stay? β
"Summer Palace!" What did he build such a large garden for? Isn't it just for the Queen Mother...... Well, is it used for 'Yi Yang Chong He'? β
Concubine Ligui was shocked: "'He'? β
Concubine Wan smiled and said, "It's your fast son-in-law who rides the dragon!" β
Listening to Concubine Wan's words, it seems that ...... "he" has already made plans, in order to move back to the Forbidden City in the future, Princess Rong'an and Concubine Ligui will move back to the Forbidden City in the future, and build a garden in advance.
This-
Concubine Ligui's brain began to "buzz" again.
"If you just talk about the comfort of living," Concubine Wan said, "the mountain and water of the Summer Palace are more than ten times stronger than the Forbidden City!" Forbidden City - What else is there besides a few trees in the Imperial Garden? The whole is bare, this palace, that hall, is nothing but ...... Look at the wall when you're at home, go out, or look at the wall! A wall on the left, a wall on the right, walls everywhere! Oh my God, it's such a square sky! β
After a pause, "So, I think the Queen Mother must be very happy to move to live in the Summer Palace!" When you have time, you two sisters, the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, are running through each other's doors, isn't it very interesting? β
"So, is it...... Don't hang the curtain and listen to politics? β
"Princess Rong'an has reached the 'year of peace'," Concubine Wan said, "As soon as she ascends the throne, she can be 'pro-government', and what 'curtain' is 'hanging'?" β
"Well......" said Concubine Ligui with difficulty, "uh, what about the Queen Mother?" β
"What's going on...... Concubine Wan said in a deep voice, "I don't quite understand what 'he' is going to do?" β
"He" is "him" again.
Could it be that "he" is there?
"Originally, since Princess Rong'an has ascended the throne, then, this 'Queen Mother' should be your sister......
"No, no, no!" Concubine Ligui's face was full of horror, and she shook her hand again and again, "I don't want it!" I don't want it! I don't want it! β
Concubine Wan smiled and said, "Sister, why are you like a child?" Don't worry, I won't ask you to rob this 'Queen Mother' alive, I guess the 'Queen Mother' is still the 'West Side', and you-well, I'll think of another title for you. β
"That'...... What is it? β
Concubine Wan shook her head and said, "This, I don't have to guess here, so many bachelors and bachelors are not dry meals, anyway, it will definitely be a 'good name'!" β
After a pause, "In short, when the time comes, the 'west' and the 'east' will both move to the Summer Palace." β
"The Queen Mother...... It's all right," Concubine Ligui asked hesitantly, "but the ...... of the 'west' Would you like to? β
"To live in the Summer Palace," said Concubine Wan, "must be willing; 'Remove the curtain', I can't say it......"
After a pause, "I've thought about this for a long time, but no matter what, I don't know the point, and then I think about it, forget it, I don't want to think about it, no matter how I think about it, my brain can't compare to your fast son-in-law who rides the dragon." β
"He", "riding the dragon and fast son-in-law".
"However," Concubine Wan's voice brought out a hint of coldness, "there is one thing that I can be sure of - 'the situation is stronger than the people'!" β
After a pause, "When the time comes, whether 'she' is willing or not, she will have to 'remove the curtain' and be obedient...... I have to move to the Summer Palace! β
