Chapter 68: Like the Queen Mother

"Huang Eniang, I heard that you like to wear and write jade hairpins every day, and your concubine recently got a new jade hairpin from Siam." Zhao Qiujin took the box from Ling'er and opened it.

The Queen Mother turned her head and saw from a distance that the jade was emerald green and carved into a peacock shape, and the peacock screen was interspersed with fine blue gems, sparkling and lovely.

Zhao Qiujin saw the amazement in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and continued: "This jade hairpin is emerald green and transparent, and the finch screen is decorated with this sapphire the size of a water droplet, and the blue and green complement each other, and they complement each other." Zhao Qiujin said and asked people to present the jade hairpin to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother picked up the jade hairpin and looked at it carefully, nodded, and said: "It's really a good jade, not to mention that this jade has no variegation, just say that the gems on it are very rare, one by one is so fine, the workmanship is exquisite, and it is wonderful." People who have seen so many jewels like the Queen Mother are amazed.

Zhao Qiujin nodded and smiled, "Good things must be matched with beautiful women, the Queen Mother, you have an excellent temperament, and this jade hairpin can't be better with you." "I thought to myself, isn't it, this boutique I specially sent someone to buy, half of the essence of "Beijing Love Story" was bought for the manuscript fee, if you don't like it anymore, there is no jade in this world that you can look at, Leng Lingzhe, Leng Lingzhe, I really paid a lot of money to please your MA.

"Hahahaha, the queen really has a heart. And the mourner took it. "Although Shangguan Xin'er disturbed his dream early in the morning, this jade hairpin is indeed a rare good thing in the world, so I don't care if I get up early or not.

As she spoke, the queen mother carefully put the jade hairpin into the box and handed it to the personal maid beside her, "Since the queen is here, why don't you have breakfast with the old woman of the mourning family." ”

"The concubine feels that it is better to obey her fate." Zhao Qiujin saluted and smiled.

But when Zhao Qiujin went to the table, he found that the breakfast in the Queen Mother's palace was all vegetarian, not even eggs, and the taste was extremely light, and he could only taste a little salt.

Zhao Qiujin sighed, what is the situation? The queen mother of the dignified Cold Moon Country actually lived the life of an ascetic.

The Queen Mother saw Zhao Qiujin holding chopsticks in a daze on the table, so she said, "Is the queen still used to eating?"

Zhao Qiujin smiled awkwardly, "I'm used to eating, I'm used to eating." As he spoke, he picked up a vegetable leaf and ate it in his mouth.

The Queen Mother smiled kindly: "The mourning family has been a vegetarian since the death of the first emperor, burning incense and chanting scriptures every day, praying that the Buddha will bless the people of my Lengyue country to live and work in peace and contentment, and the emperor can be healthy."

"The Queen Mother really has a heart, with your sincerity, our Cold Moon Country will definitely prosper and move towards glory, the emperor will definitely be moved by your sincerity, the emperor usually thinks about you, you also have to take care of your health." Zhao Qiujin lowered his head and smiled and said sincerely, like a generation of virtuous queens in TV dramas.

In fact, the real idea in my heart is that I don't have to go to the ancestral temple if I have the heart of the Buddha, I don't have to be vegetarian every day if I have the heart of the Buddha, can't the wine and meat pass through the intestines of our Buddha's heart, and can the nutrition of eating vegetarian every day keep up, so it is easy to affect the basal metabolism, hey, this old lady, can you not be vegetarian, eat some fried meat slices It is not fragrant, and the fried chicken leg is not delicious? !

Although Zhao Qiujin complained one after another in his heart, he said to the Queen Mother with a smile on his face: "No wonder I see that the Queen Mother is slender, it turns out that the Queen Mother is a vegetarian every day." ”

The Queen Mother also listened to Zhao Qiujin's compliment, nodded contentedly, Zhao Qiujin continued to praise when she saw it, thinking in her heart, you still have to be sweet-mouthed, we can't say what we shouldn't say, it's not difficult for others, the key is that we can't be difficult for ourselves.

After accompanying the Queen Mother to eat, Zhao Qiujin retired, and sighed that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was difficult all the way, but fortunately, we have money, even if we use money to smash it, we have to give me a good impression.

In the next few days, Zhao Qiujin ran to the Queen Mother's palace early in the morning to eat, once or twice the Queen Mother can still struggle to get up, every time Zhao Qiujin will bring some strange things to make her happy, although she is sleepy, but she also supports it, but in time, the Queen Mother's old bones said that they can't support it.

But the Queen Mother can't tell Zhao Qiujin directly that she can't get up in the morning, can she come at another time, this... The Queen Mother couldn't speak, there was no way, the Queen Mother called Leng Lingzhe.

Leng Lingzhe rushed to the Empress Dowager's palace, thinking that she urgently summoned him because she was ill. So he took three steps and made two steps to approach the hall, and saw the Queen Mother in the middle of the day sleeping on the chair with her arm supporting her chin.

Leng Lingzhe lowered his voice and slowly approached, and patted the Queen Mother gently, "The emperor's mother is unwell?" ”

Only then did the Queen Mother come to her senses and rubbed her eyes, "The emperor is here." ”

"Is the emperor's mother in good health, why doesn't she look energetic, the princess will send the imperial doctor to show you, right?" Leng Lingzhe asked with concern.

"No need, the mourning family hasn't rested well in the past few days, and I came to the emperor today to ask you to talk to the queen, so that she can come back later in the future, don't have to be so early every day."

Leng Lingzhe himself is also a black line, these days Zhao Qiujin went to bed early every night, went out early every morning, and didn't say what to do, and asked Ling'er's girl to know that it was the Queen Mother who came to ask for peace, he knew that Zhao Qiujin was deliberately the Queen Mother's favor for himself, so he didn't stop it.

"Huang Eniang, is the queen also a piece of filial piety?"

"The mourning family knows that she really likes you, so she comes to my palace every day to say hello, but the mourning family's old bones can't stand up to get up early every day." The Queen Mother knew Shangguan Xin'er's intentions in her heart, and she did not demand anything from her.

If you put aside the family background, the queen mother also likes Shangguan Xin'er, and it is not impossible to leave her in the palace, "Emperor rest assured, if you really like this Shangguan Xin'er, the mourning family will not stop her, you can put her in the palace and seal a concubine or something, and besides, she is really good, eccentric, if she is the daughter of a high-powered magnates, the queen, she can definitely sit down." ”

But the queen mother was unwilling to let her son marry the daughter of a down-and-out rebel minister, so she said: "But after all, this is the royal in-laws, the emperor chooses a wife, you have to choose someone who can help you in the court, so that you can hold this huge country, otherwise, after a hundred years of mourning, how can the mourning family rest assured." ”

Leng Lingzhe knew that this was the biggest concession made by the Queen Mother, but he would never give up Zhao Qiujin, so he said slowly: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about her sons, the women who don't have to rely on her sons in the world can hold it by herself!" The queen will not come again tomorrow, please rest assured. Leng Lingzhe got up and saluted.

"Erchen still has some twists and turns to change, so he will retire first, you can rest well."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving only the back of the Queen Mother looking into the distance, "Your palm, how to hold it, the southeast Cangyue country is eyeing the tiger, and there are Xiongnu and the Seven Princes entrenched in the northwest, although the court has just removed Shangguan Yu's henchman, there are still some remnants that have not been removed, if there is no backer at this time, how difficult it is for you to go this way..."

It is said that in the eyes of parents, children will never grow up, and the same is true in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she always wants to pave Leng Lingzhe's road smoother and make him easier, the Queen Mother will never allow anyone to stand in the way of her son.
