"If you think about it carefully, the Queen Mother has no choice but to do this." Mrs. Tai's voice sounded in Cheng Jinrong's ears. "The emperor can't stay now, if the queen mother is soft and bullying, I'm afraid that the courtiers will join forces to bully her."

Oh, yes! The lord is less suspicious, and the lord is weak and the minister is strong. Under such circumstances, Empress Dowager Pei had to be strong, and she couldn't help but be ruthless. In this way, the ministers can be deterred.

Cheng Jinrong calmed down and said in a low voice: "What grandmother said is true." A widow who has lost her husband will be deceived if she is not tougher. ”

In just two sentences, it evoked the memories of Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai remembered the old Pingguo Gong who died in battle early, and couldn't help but sigh: "Without a husband, how can I live without my son." ”

"Back then, I also lost my husband early and led my two sons to live. No one knows what it's like better than me. ”

"That's it, these gossips, our grandparents and grandchildren just talk about it in private. In front of outsiders, don't say that you leaked your mouth. Otherwise, there will be a suspicion of disrespecting the queen mother and the first emperor. ”

Cheng Jinrong said half-jokingly: "I recuperate in the house every day, and I hardly see outsiders. It was my grandmother who had the opportunity to meet outsiders. ”

Mrs. Tai laughed at the joke of her granddaughter-in-law: "Yes, yes, I am the one who should pay attention to proportion." ”

After a few words of gossip, the Zhu and Wei families also led their children to greet each other.

Compared with Zhu's round and jade-smooth complexion, Wei's thin and sallow-faced face is like a remnant flower swaying in the wind that is about to bloom.

Mrs. Tai couldn't hold back a sigh, opened her mouth and said to Wei: "Wei, you have been sick for so many days. Asking a doctor for advice and drinking medicine is always not good. After that, you will be spared the morning and dusk. Hello was born in the yard to recuperate. ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "You are worried about your mother's family, thinking about your father and the four princesses, and you are worried about it." I can understand all of this. But you also have to take care of yourself for your brother, if this continues, what should my brother do? ”

Wei's eyes turned red instantly, and tears quickly slipped down.

Cheng Jinrong felt sorry in his heart. However, she would never have responded to Wei's plea. He Qi also explicitly refused. Therefore, Wei's heart became more and more miserable.

"Okay, don't cry. No matter what time it is, you have to be strong. Mrs. Tai restrained her smile, and her voice was condensed: "Crying and crying all day long is useless." You're just crying and blind, and you can't go back now. ”

"You really miss your mother's house, go back every few days, so that you can comfort your mother."

Wei wiped his tears and replied in a low voice: "Thank you grandmother for showing compassion to your granddaughter-in-law." ”

Cheng Jinrong and Wei were originally very harmonious. Because of this incident, there was some estrangement, and they were estranged from each other a lot. She didn't pretend to be appeased.

It was the Zhu family, who came to Wei's side and whispered a few words of relief.

Wei quickly calmed down and led his brother to retire.

In the past, the whole brother was the most naughty and active. During these days, Wei often washed his face with tears, and his mood was very low and depressed. The whole brother was a lot more settled, and he took his mother's hand back to the yard.

When the mother and son were alone, the whole brother whispered: "Mother, I will accompany you to see your grandmother." ”

Wei's eyes turned red again, and he reached out to hug his brother.

Fortunately, she still has a whole brother. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to hold on.

……

A few days later, the new queen was welcomed into the Jiaofang Palace.

Emperor Xuanping was ill and could not greet him in person. Let the seven princes welcome their relatives on their behalf. Fifteen-year-old Empress Liang entered the palace in plain clothes. First go to Renhe Palace to meet Empress Dowager Pei.

Before meeting Empress Dowager Pei, Empress Liang was a little nervous.

She is the eldest granddaughter of the Liang Mansion, she has read poetry and books since she was a child, she is quite famous, and her appearance is also dignified and beautiful. Among the ladies in the capital, they are also the top. There is no need to worry about family affairs at all.

Unexpectedly, the first emperor made a will before his death. Overnight, she became the future queen of Da Chu.

When the decree of marriage arrived at the Liang Mansion, the Liang family was pleasantly surprised, but she was a little confused.

The queens of Dachu were all born in the Xungui mansion, how did she become the granddaughter of a Wenchen family, how did she fall into the eyes of the first emperor?

Later, there was shocking bad news in the palace one after another. Prince Yuanchen was assassinated by three brothers. Zheng Jieyu died, the fifth prince died, and then Concubine Wei Xian and others also died......

God didn't treat her very well.

Her future husband was poisoned and died.

Her mind, which had been floating, also sank completely. Entering the palace as a queen is not a smooth road full of flowers. This road is full of thorns and dangers. She was going to walk the path carefully and smoothly and slowly.

"Daughter-in-law Liang, I have seen the queen mother."

Empress Liang knelt on the futon and respectfully kowtowed to the full salute.

Empress Dowager Pei did not make it difficult for her daughter-in-law who had just entered the palace, and said softly: "Excuse yourself and sit down beside the mourning family, and let the mourning family take a good look at you." ”

Empress Liang complied, got up with her eyes down, walked to Empress Dowager Pei's side, and sat down carefully. From beginning to end, Empress Liang didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Empress Dowager Pei carefully.

Empress Dowager Pei saw it in her eyes and was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law's performance.

The Liang family has a clean and upright style, and the daughter who taught them also knows the rules. At least, not the kind of people who are so complacent and arrogant.

Emperor Xian chose Liang as his daughter-in-law, apparently after careful consideration. The Pei family suffered, and the descendants declined. If you choose the daughter of a noble military general to enter the palace as the queen, I am afraid that she, who is a mother-in-law, will not be able to suppress her daughter-in-law.

The daughter of the Wenchen family became the best choice.

Moreover, Emperor Xuanhe was reckless and warlike by nature. The military generals in the court were too powerful, and they firmly suppressed Wenchen. Now that there is a queen from a civil official family, it can also show the sincerity of the new emperor to promote the civil servants. In this way, the court can be better balanced.

Putting these aside, just looking at Empress Liang herself, Empress Dowager Pei is also very satisfied.

Beauty comes second, and what is even more admirable is Queen Liang's respect and rules.

"The emperor is sick and can't welcome you into the palace in person, so I've wronged you."

Empress Dowager Pei's voice was gentle, and she didn't have any arrogance. Empress Liang was grateful and moved, and hurriedly responded: "The queen mother said this, it really hurts her daughter-in-law." Nothing is as important as the emperor's dragon body. ”

It was only at this moment that Empress Liang was able to look up at Empress Dowager Pei.

This glance amazed Queen Liang's heart.

Empress Dowager Pei is also over forty years old, but she looks like she is about thirty years old, with an outstanding demeanor and a touching appearance.

Of course, in fact, Pei Wanru is four years younger than Pei Wanqing, and her real age is not yet forty. However, even at your real age, it can be said to be extremely well maintained.

Empress Dowager Pei said to Empress Liang: "Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have more opportunities to speak in the future. You go to the Baohe Hall first and meet the emperor! ”

Empress Liang endured her shyness and nervousness, and said softly.
