Chapter 1294: The Queen Mother

When she walked into the queen mother's bedroom, Min Ruoying paused for a moment, relieved her decadent mood a little, and forcibly piled up a little smile on her face, and then stepped in.

The queen mother's body is not as good as a year, and now she basically does not go out of the dormitory, and it is only in the case of a beautiful wind and sun that she will walk around the small garden outside the dormitory twice to breathe. What she likes most now is to stay with her grandchildren, but Min Ruoying's eldest son is fifteen years old and has already entered school, not only has to follow the prince and the prince to learn how to govern the country, but also has to follow the martial arts master to boil up the body and practice martial arts.

The old lady's biggest regret is that she has never seen her grandson and granddaughter again, those two little guys were born in Shangjing, but later after going to Daming, this time is seven or eight years, and the old lady will never see her again.

In ordinary people, such a thing is very rare, but between the royal families who marry each other, this situation is no longer ordinary, Qin Wu, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, is the only son of the Ming Emperor Qin Feng, so it is naturally impossible to come to the Chu State.

The only thing that comforts the old lady is that her daughter has found an excellent home, Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty, until now, she has not even accepted a concubine, Min Ruoxi can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors, and she has a son by her side, the old lady is not worried about whether she is doing well.

This time, the envoys of the Ming Kingdom arrived in Shangjing, don't look at the envoys in the court to Min Ruoying's harsh words, no mercy, but in front of the old lady, but very well-behaved, the envoy brought the filial piety of his daughter and son-in-law, from some rare treasures to flavor snacks, dazzling, everything.

The old lady felt very satisfied, her son was the emperor of Chu, and her daughter was the queen of Ming, both of whom were the most noble people in the world.

As for the state affairs between the Ming State and the Chu State, the old lady didn't want to know about it, and she didn't want to know about it. She herself comes from a royal family, and she is no stranger to things between countries, and her only hope is that there will be no big fights between her son and daughter during her lifetime.

Now it looks like everything is fine. The Ming Dynasty and the Great Chu formed an anti-Qi alliance, the situation of the Chu State in recent years is not very good, on the one hand, to recover the six eastern counties, on the other hand, to deal with the endless rebellion in the country, from the palace people's words, the old lady probably also knows that the Ming State has been vigorously supporting the Chu State, from money to weapons, everything. This made her feel very comforted, Ruoying and Ruoxi, after all, are still brothers and sisters, and blood is thicker than water.

The envoy sat quietly down, carefully answering the queen mother's question of whether he had a match or not, before the trip, he naturally did his homework, Min Ruoxi also knew that the old lady was probably most concerned about her grandson and granddaughter, and deliberately made some arrangements for the envoy, at this moment under the description of the envoy, a lively and active prince, a quiet and graceful princess jumped in front of the old lady, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth happily.

"I don't know if I can see these two good grandchildren of mine!" The old lady said with emotion, turned her head to look in the direction of Yuejing, and her eyes showed sad emotions.

"The Queen Mother, before the foreign ministers left, the Queen Mother specially entrusted, if the Queen Mother is willing, the Ming Dynasty is extremely welcome to go to Yuejing City to live for a while." The envoy smiled and bowed.

"Going to live in Yuejing City?" The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, "Does Your Majesty also agree?" ”

"When the queen mother instructed the ministers, His Majesty sat on the side, and said that a son-in-law is half a son, but he has never fulfilled his filial piety, as long as the emperor is willing, His Majesty can't ask for it!"

"Pretty Woman!" The Queen Mother laughed happily, but the smile only lasted for a short moment: "It's a pity that the body of the mourning family can't stand the long journey, and can only stay in the dormitory every day, just take a few more steps, and feel that the body can't stand it." ”

"It's okay!" The envoy smiled: "The queen mother doesn't know, this time the foreign minister brought to the queen mother in the tribute, there is a carriage, this carriage uses the latest technology of our Ming Dynasty, people sit in it, do not feel much bumps, and this car needs to be dragged by eight horses, the size is huge, it is like a small house, a living items, which can be prepared very thoroughly." ”

"You can talk, and the mourning family also knows that no matter what kind of carriage it is, it will be uncomfortable to sit for a long time." The Queen Mother laughed: "But this piece of heart of their husband and wife, the mourning family has received it." ”

"The Queen Mother, our Majesty and the Queen Mother are very sincere, in the past the carriage is very tired, in addition to the carriage factor, another reason is the road is bumpy, now I Ming Dynasty, the main traffic arteries have been prepared to harden it with cement, Your Majesty said, if the Queen Mother is willing to go to the capital, then put down other roads not to repair, first build such a main road, to build from the capital to the capital." The envoy said with a smile.

"What is cement?" The Queen Mother was puzzled.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, cement is a building material invented by our craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, which usually looks like a thing like ash powder, but after mixing him with sand grains and small stone seeds and water, it can be solidified in a very short time, and it is harder than stone, and more importantly, he can shape it at will, and now the road we cross the capital is as smooth as the stone slab in the emperor's bedroom!"

"And such a good thing?" The Queen Mother asked in surprise: "That must be very expensive, how much does it cost to build a road from Yuejing to Shangjing, for the sake of a little care for the mourning family, it costs the country so much, this is not good." ”

"The Queen Mother is too worried." The envoy smiled and said: "Since this thing is used to build roads, how can it be expensive, it is very cheap, now we are Ming, we are ready to use this cement to build all the main roads in the country, the Queen Mother's words, it is just to modify the original order of road construction, that is, in the country of Great Chu, our Majesty said, I am also willing to come to build it for free, as long as it can make the Queen Mother happy, everything is worth it." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was greatly moved.

"The Queen Mother, every time the minister comes to the Chu State, I feel that the most inconvenient thing is that this road traffic is too far away compared with my Daming, as the Queen Mother said, in Dachu, taking a carriage, it is really a chore, riding a horse, the minister is a literati, but the two strands can not be grinded, every time they come, they are guilty of it! If the mother agrees to go to the capital to live, the Ming Dynasty is willing to build a good road for the Chu country, which can not only allow the queen mother to travel without being tired, but also benefit the thousands of people in Chu, which is also a merit! ”

"That's a good thing to say." The Queen Mother said happily: "But it is not a trivial matter for the mourning family to go out of Beijing, and you need to discuss it with the emperor!" Say it again, say it again! ”

"Yes, Weichen obeyed the order, and when he turned around, the foreign minister reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, and asked His Majesty to consider the feasibility of this matter." The envoy had achieved his goal and smiled happily.

Min Ruoying, who had been listening to it outside the door for a while, couldn't listen anymore, what did Ming Guo want to do, what did Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi want to do?

Seeing Min Ruoying walk in, the envoy quickly stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted deeply: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Min Ruoying squinted at him and said coldly: "Your envoy was very loud in the court earlier, but at this time, he groveled, why did he bow and then respect?" ”

The envoy straightened up: "Above the court, the foreign minister is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and he is asking His Majesty for state affairs." Now in the queen mother's bedroom, the foreign minister is to ask the queen mother on behalf of the queen mother, which is a family matter. Your Majesty is the brother of my Empress of the Ming Dynasty, and of course the ministers have to be respectful. ”

"Clever words!" Min Ruoying said angrily.

"Okay, Ying'er, this is the harem, not the front hall, if you want to talk about state affairs, you go to the front hall and say, don't make noise in front of the old woman of the mourning family." The Queen Mother said with some displeasure.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Min Ruoying bent down to salute the Queen Mother, "State affairs are complicated and difficult, and my son is upset." ”

"Isn't the war going well?" The Queen Mother was a little worried.

Min Ruoying glanced at the Queen Mother, and then at the eyes of the imperial concubine Ma Ying, who was holding her youngest son beside the Queen Mother, and suddenly felt a tingling in her heart, his brother was killed, but he still had to force a smile in front of the Queen Mother, but it was difficult for her. But now he has to punish her for this matter, and let her carry this black cauldron to extinguish the anger in the hearts of the Ming people, how can he be embarrassed?

"Everything is going well, within this year, Bian Wushuang will be able to recover the six eastern counties."

"Good, good, finally didn't ruin the ancestral family business. You've worked really hard, look at you like this, you're so thin. The Queen Mother glanced at her son happily and pityingly and said, "Zhang Chi is right, don't be too tight." ”

"Thank you for your concern, my son knows." Min Ruoying said.

"Okay, okay, the mourning family also knows that you are very busy, and they won't keep you anymore, so you can go by yourself. I'll talk to the Ming envoys for a while. The Empress said with a smile.

"Don't be too tired, the queen mother." Min Ruoying glanced at the envoy of the Ming Kingdom.

"Don't worry, I'm not tired, I'm very happy today. Your sister said that she wanted to build a good road and take me to live in Yuejing, Yuejing, it's been almost 50 years, and I don't know how much of the appearance of the year has been retained? ”
