Chapter 67: Once Upon a Time at Court

"It's okay, Ling'er, I finally understand a sentence." Zhao Qiujin listened to Ling'er say a series of precautions for daughters-in-law in ancient times, and felt that the head circumference was a whole circle, it turned out that there was no contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in ancient times, and the mother-in-law could say it alone, and she didn't care about any opinions of her daughter-in-law at all, oh, no, the daughter-in-law didn't have any right to speak at all.

"Niangniang, what's wrong, what does Niangniang understand?" Ling'er looked at Zhao Qiujin suspiciously.

"I finally understand what it means to be a 'daughter-in-law for many years', it was really hard to be a daughter-in-law in ancient times." Zhao Qiujin sighed.

"Niangniang said that it makes sense, so women will cry when they get married, on the one hand, because they are reluctant to separate from their parents and sisters, and on the other hand, they are worried about whether they will meet a vicious mother-in-law." Ling'er nodded and said.

Zhao Qiujin thought to himself that where is this to marry a daughter-in-law and go home, this is obviously to find a hard-working maid for her mother-in-law, no, it is better to be a maid, obviously she is her mother-in-law's exclusive slave...

"Hey, then this queen mother shouldn't be so difficult, after all, she is also a lady from a famous family, so she shouldn't be like those stingy old women in the market."

"It's... IT IS RUMORED THAT THE QUEEN MOTHER JIN WENT TO THE PALACE BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CLAN, AND BECAME THE QUEEN, AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VIRTUOUS AND VIRTUOUS, AND SHE STRICTLY ABIDES BY THE ANCIENT PRECEPTS, AND TREATS THE PEOPLE WHO DO THINGS UNDER HER HANDS VERY GENEROUSLY. Ling'er said, her impression of the Queen Mother is okay. 、

Zhao Qiujin asked again: "Then how did the first emperor treat the queen mother?" ”

"The first emperor seems to treat the queen mother with courtesy, because the first emperor and the then Ying Concubine Niangniang have been childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, the first emperor has always insisted on making her the queen, but the queen mother strongly opposed, and the first emperor is a well-known filial son, so he only made her a concubine, and later gave birth to the seventh prince, and was promoted to Ying Guifei."

"Wow, this emperor really spoils her alone, and he is not afraid of causing the jealousy of others. It's quite tragic that the queen mother married a man who didn't like her. Tut-tut, her own happiness fell victim to a political marriage, and now she wants others to follow in her footsteps..."Zhao Qiujin thought as she rubbed her chin with her fingers.

"No, maybe the Queen Mother is really the kind of person who only pursues supreme rights, regardless of her marriage happiness..."

"Then why is Concubine Ying not here?" Zhao Qiujin turned around and asked Ling'er again.

"I heard that it was because of the dystocia when I gave birth to the eighth prince later, and the eighth prince lost his breath as soon as he was born, and the first emperor was depressed for more than half a year, and I heard that it was Leng Lingyi, who was still young at the time, to persuade him." Ling'er always heard people mention the events at that time in private in the palace, and everyone sighed at this poignant court love.

Think about this queen mother, that is, the queen who was not favored at that time, obviously as the lord of the middle palace, but she has always been unfavored, and she can still stabilize the queen's throne in the harem for many years, to say that she is really as pure as the rumors, she doesn't believe it, if there is no means to plan, how can it be so.

But it's really a pity to think about the first emperor and Concubine Ying. "Hey, that Concubine Ying is really pitiful, if she was born in an ordinary family, they must be an enviable fairy couple, it's a pity..."Zhao Qiujin also sighed.

"Niangniang and the emperor are now an enviable fairy couple, the emperor doesn't like others, there is only Niangniang in the harem, I heard that the emperor in order to let Niangniang continue to be the queen, the ministers who oppose Niangniang as the queen last time were very strict, and even said that whoever said one more word would let anyone get out of the court, our emperor has always been courteous, and never got angry because of the advice, that time they were all suppressed, and no one dared to speak."

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Leng Lingzhe to be so rigid." Zhao Qiujin felt a little sweet in his heart when he heard Leng Lingzhe reprimanding the minister for himself, he had never heard him say these things. "I didn't see this Leng Lingzhe so affectionate before." Zhao Qiujin secretly decided that for Leng Lingzhe's affection, she would also get rid of the Queen Mother.

Zhao Qiujin took the effort to inquire about the queen mother's preferences, the flower she liked was peony, she already knew, and she also liked jade things, so what jade bracelet jade carving or jade products could not be better, they are all women, then those clothes must also like fat powder or something, like to eat some sweets...

"Finally figured out all the things that this old woman likes, knowing herself and knowing that she will win all battles, I don't believe I can't handle her." Zhao Qiujin smiled, she felt that she was more interested in the Queen Mother than her own mother, so she could only say silently in her heart, "Mom, your daughter is also forced to be helpless, hey, I was really unconcerned about you before, it's all my fault, my fault..."

Early in the morning of the second day, before Xiao Lizi called Leng Lingzhe to the court, Zhao Qiujin quietly packed up and left Fengyi Palace.

Walking with Ling'er on the way to the Queen Mother's Palace, the sky was still bright, "Ling'er, this is early, I haven't gotten up so early for a long time." "When I was a child, I got up so early every day when I practiced martial arts, and I haven't gotten up so early since I grew up and opened a martial arts gym.

"Niangniang, the book "Nude" says that she got up after hearing three rooster crows, but there are no chickens in this palace, it should be at this time," but Niangniang, the slave maid is worried that the queen mother has not gotten up so early. Ling'er was a little worried.

"The Queen Mother is an old man, the elderly generally can't sleep, they definitely like to get up early, I look diligent when I go now." Zhao Qiujin waved his hand indifferently and continued to walk forward.

When he arrived at the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace, he sent someone to inform the Queen Mother.

At this time, the Queen Mother was sleeping deeply, and heard someone talking in her ear, "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother came to ask for peace, and she is now waiting outside." ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes dimly, rubbed her temples, and early in the morning, she didn't know what tricks Shangguan Xin was playing, but she really had to sleep for another hour, so she waved her hand and said to the personal maid, "Let her go back." But after thinking about it, if she is allowed to go back, when the time comes, she will be able to publicize it, and her reputation as virtuous and virtuous and convincing people with reason will be ruined.

Then he stopped the maid who was about to reply: "Slow, help the mourning family up, and let Hong'er come in and serve the mourning family to wash and change clothes." ”

Zhao Qiujin was waiting in the hall, and after about half a pillar of incense, the Queen Mother walked in with a maid, and Zhao Qiujin immediately got up and saluted, "The Imperial Daughter-in-law respectfully invites the Queen Mother Jin An." ”

The Queen Mother brushed her hands, sat down, and said slowly, "Get up." ”

Zhao Qiujin looked at the Queen Mother and thought that she had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well, so she smiled and said, "Huang Eniang, but I had insomnia last night, this is probably because the dampness in the body is a little heavy, why don't you call the imperial doctor to come over tomorrow to take a look at you?" ”

The Queen Mother listened to Zhao Qiujin's words, shook her head, supported her forehead with one hand, and propped herself on the handle of the chair with the other, "No need, it rained last night, and it was the sound of rain that disturbed the dream of the mourning family, and the queen bothered." "Actually, the Queen Mother thought to herself that you had let the mourning family sleep for a whole hour, but on the surface, you pretended to be kind and harmless.
