Chapter 230: The Empress Dowager

Lu Chengqi, who had just learned about these things from Queen Zhou Zhiruo's mouth, was so shocked that he couldn't hold his tongue. www.biquge.info In his imagination, even if the relationship between the queen and the concubine is not so bad as to tear her face, it will definitely not be any better.

This is just Lu Chengqi referring to many rumors about his stepmother in later generations and making up his own brain. In fact, the relationship between the queens and concubines and concubines and female officials in ancient times was not like the TV court dramas of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, which were torn every day. is all because of the Dashun selection of palace people, all of whom are selected from the good family of the minister, and they are all well-informed and talented women.

Such a woman actually understands her situation very well. If she abuses any third-rate tricks for the sake of the so-called competitors, and it reaches the ears of the emperor or empress, then she will never want to be on the throne for the rest of her life. It is even possible to be purged from the palace and become the most disgraceful woman to be expelled from the palace. At that time, it was really intolerable to the world, and if you wanted to live with a resolute temperament, you could only be willing to fall and enter the dust of the Qinglou; If you don't have a strong will, suicide is also very likely.

It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for the palace maids to deliberately harm others. Who knows who will be favored by the emperor tomorrow and become a concubine or concubine? It's not bad to have a good relationship with yourself. Therefore, the Dashun harem is very harmonious most of the time. These female officers can be said to be colleagues. Unless there is a good show to win the heir, there will hardly be anything to do to plot against others. Who has so much time, has nothing to do every day, and thinks about plotting against others every day? I'm afraid no one has such a dark and inhuman psychology, right?

When Lu Chengqi saw the in front of him, the woman who still had charm, he secretly praised it in his heart, and hurriedly gave an elder salute and said, "I've seen Niangniang!" ”

Liu is also from the family of the minister, although the official position of the family is only four grades, and now he has retired, but the bearing he has cultivated since he was a child is also extraordinary, and he said: "My son is busy with state affairs, and I was able to come to see the old body today, no wonder I heard the magpie calling today, it turned out that my son was coming." ”

Lu Chengqi was embarrassed for a while, if it weren't for Zhou Zhiruo's reminder, I'm afraid he would still be busy with his own affairs now, where can he think of a nominal mother, the Queen Mother of Dashun, in the Jingfu Palace?

Lu Chengqi, who has a decent emotional intelligence, hurriedly said: "I forgot to visit my mother recently, I really shouldn't have been!" ”

When Liu heard this, a smile bloomed on his face from the heart, and said: "My son has a heart, and the old body is relieved, what more can I ask for?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo laughed out loud on the side, and Liu noticed her existence and said, "If it weren't for Zhiruo coming often, His Majesty would have forgotten that the old body was still in this Jingfu Palace." ”

Lu Chengqi was red-faced again, and he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo said on the side: "Your Majesty is worried about her mother, but there were a lot of state affairs before, and Your Majesty couldn't take a break, so he let the concubine honor his mother." ”

Liu's heart is actually like a mirror, and she only believes half of Zhou Zhiruo's words. Lu Chengqi's diligence, she is in the harem, and she has heard about it many times, and this matter should be true. But to say that he remembers himself would be too true.

Immediately did not move, and said: "Wu'er and Zhiruo must be tired of standing, and enter the hall to drink tea and talk." With that, he was supported by a palace maid and entered the inner hall of Gyeongbokgunjeon.

What Lu Chengqi was most surprised by was that this Jingfu Hall was not like other palaces, all of which were furnished with precious utensils, but were farmhouse utensils, many of which Lu Chengqi had never seen.

Even through the doors and windows, Lu Chengqi could see some threshed wheat stalks, stacked on top of the palace wall near the back garden. There is also a large stone mill next to it, and a small deep well with a wheel.

Lu Chengqi looked at the bow clothes worn by the Liu family, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this Empress Dowager is really the same on the outside and on the outside, and she is indeed personally serving the crops and raising silkworms?" "This bow robe, in Lu Chengqi's opinion, is just a royal woman, worn in order to play for outsiders. Those so-called family silk that make gimmicks are just made for outsiders to see, who can stick to it day after day?

But now it seems that the Liu family really seems to regard these items as their lifelong career, not only raising silkworms, silk, but even planting wheat.

With a surprise in her heart, she followed Liu into her room. After sitting down, the palace maid served tea, and Liu asked them to go out and continue working.

Knowing that Lu Chengqi had doubts in his heart, Liu said lightly: "The back garden is a wide area, and it is a pity that the old body looks abandoned. I couldn't eat those flowers and plants when I planted them, so I planted wheat seedlings on my own initiative. Wu'er is the lord of a country, and Zhiruo is the lord of a palace, so I guess I won't blame the old man for making his own decisions, right? ”

Lu Chengqi didn't speak, and gave Zhou Zhiruo a look. The husband and wife have been together for a long time, and they have also cultivated a lot of tacit understanding. Zhou Zhiruo naturally understood what Lu Chengqi meant, and said with a smile: "Where is the Queen Mother, this Houyuan has been the place where the emperor and queen have been working since Taizu. It's really a good thing that the Queen Mother just restored the ancestral system, how could Your Majesty blame it? The concubines are even more daring, with the queen mother here, the lord of this palace, don't mention ...... again" said it, and he giggled.

Liu knew that she was flattering herself, but she was also very happy. She had no children, and when she was sixteen years old, she had a princess with Emperor Yuanshou, but she died. Since then, there have been no children. If the princess hadn't died, Lu Chengqi wouldn't have had to have another cheap sister.

It is precisely because of this that the Liu family regards Lu Chengqi as his own, which is also the reason.

Liu Shi smiled toothlessly, but his eyebrows stretched out, and he looked extremely happy and said, "Wu'er is really blessed to be such a good queen." You have to work harder, hurry up and give birth to a grandson for the old man, so that the old man can enjoy the fun of teasing the grandson. ”

These words directly made the thin-skinned Zhou Zhiruo blush.

Although he was already in the same bed, Lu Chengqi still did not break through the last line of defense, and Zhou Zhiruo was always very resentful. is already wearing women's clothes, but she is still a yellow flower girl, how can these words be spoken?

Hearing Liu's ridicule, Zhou Zhiruo said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine seems to have a lot of experience in weaving cloth with the palace maid outside the palace, and she wants to learn it, lest people in the world say that the concubine, as the queen, does not know how to raise silkworms." ”

After saying that, he bowed to Liu and went out. Watching her trotting with her legs between her legs, Liu had a lot of questions in her heart, but it was inconvenient to ask.

Lu Chengqi sat opposite Liu, but he sat like pins and needles. I always felt that Liu's sharp eyes had seen through him. In fact, it's just that he has a ghost in his heart and scares himself.

The question in Liu's heart flashed, he took a sip of tribute tea, and said slowly: "Since Wu'er was seriously ill, he seems to be sensible a lot. It's just that I've forgotten all about the past, Zhiruo has already told the old body, Wu'er is okay now? (To be continued.) )
