Chapter 176: The Queen
The Empress Dowager in Ci'an Palace has not yet received the news that the emperor is coming, and she is angry about the matter reported by the queen, Mama Qi and the queen are a little caught off guard, and the two exchange glances in surprise.
It was Mama Qi who opened her mouth to persuade people, "Queen Mother, your body has only improved a little, don't be angry again." ”
Although Song Yu came to Ci'an Palace more attentively, but the relationship with the Queen Mother is maintained on the surface of harmony, there is no real feelings, seeing that she is angry, he put down the hot tea that he drank two sips, got up and stood, "Queen Mother, the emperor has made a conclusion about Concubine Jing, except for Wu Jieyu, there is no big problem with the other concubines after the interrogation......
"This Zhao family is innocent, since she entered the palace, how has the mourning family treated her, if it wasn't for the mourning family giving her the right to govern the palace, how could she buy the purchase of the provincial government, and have the opportunity to collude with the people of the Ministry of Industry......" The queen mother's eyebrows are still angry, but she is not cured from her illness, but she is just bluffing, and she can't get much anger, and she can't breathe.
Song Yu secretly thought that he was an old man - no matter how powerful he was when he was young, he was still powerless when he was old.
"And that Wu Jieyu, what kind of thing is she! The daughter of a servant of the ministry dares to act so boldly, there are many good things on weekdays, no one treats her, and she really thinks that she is a person......"
Listening to the Queen Mother's gaffe scolding, Song Yu lowered her eyes and was silent, her old man was emotionally scolded, and she was a junior who just listened to it.
It can only be said that the abduction of the little prince really offended the temper of the queen mother, and the queen mother, who couldn't control her emotions, scolded and scolded even Shen Tingnian, so she had to speak.
"And Yan Xitang, what is she doing all day long."
"Queen Mother, Guifei, she didn't know about Concubine Jing's death, but found out that the palace maid was—"
"The mourners know." The Queen Mother snorted coldly and interrupted her, "She Shen Tingnian doesn't care about killing people with a knife at all, let alone doing things in the name of Ci'an Palace." ”
"It's good to say that she is also the prince's mother, but she doesn't do anything, which makes the mourning family even more chilling!"
Song Yu's expression was stunned, her face was full of uncertainty, but she quickly returned to normal, she said slowly without any emotion, "The prince has been recovered, although it is a false alarm, the concubine is afraid for a day and a night, even if she wants to do something, she can't spare that heart, she must always take care of the prince first." ”
Obviously, this is not the heart of the Queen Mother, she looked at Song Yu and instantly lost any good feelings, and she didn't want to deal with it anymore for a while, but fortunately she didn't scold anymore.
Seeing this, Mama Qi on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't dare to persuade anything more, it may be that sick people will become less rational and will be very stubborn, plus this time the prince almost had an accident, which hit her very hard, and she couldn't control her mouth when she was angry, and she didn't care about the identity of the queen mother in front of the juniors.
It is also Song Yu who is really tolerant and generous, if he changes someone, I am afraid that he will leave a long time ago, the dignified queen, holding the power of the harem, put this as if she was being trained to listen to you scolding?
Mama Qi waited for the Queen Mother to drink a cup of hot tea, finally calmed down, didn't get angry anymore, turned her head and saw that Song Yu was still standing, she couldn't help but walk over sincerely and personally added a cup of hot tea to her.
The burden of the harem is neither heavy nor light, not everyone can take it down casually, Mama Qi has also followed the queen mother to govern the palace for many years, and knows the details of the cumbersome palace affairs, especially the stewards in each palace, they have their own little abacus in their hearts, and it is not a day's work to collect them all and obey them, but Song Yu did not rely on the manpower of Ci'an Palace, nor did he rely on the emperor as a backing, and sat firmly on his own position as the queen.
Song Yu has done a lot of practical things in the past two years, there is a thing to say, such as improving the life of the palace people at the bottom, those palace people who gather in the lower people's rooms eat and live together, it is easy to get sick, she put the almost useless Anle Hall in order, in addition to sheltering the dead, but also to treat the living, most of the medical women in the medicine department have been transferred to the past, and completely solved the problem of nowhere to treat the sick for the palace people, and arranged for an imperial doctor to go over for consultation when encountering some particularly incurable diseases.
For another example, the study room in the palace for the enlightenment and teaching of princes and princesses was renovated and expanded into a university hall, where all court children could go to attend classes, which even shocked the emperor at first.
It's a big deal, it doesn't seem to be anything in Song Yu's eyes, and she successfully persuaded the emperor, because the school-style teaching is indeed more effective, three or two children always can't listen to the class, and some don't even know what Mr. said after listening to it for more than half a year, but after the rectification, the children are very motivated, they are very novel, and they like it very much......
No matter how detailed it is, there are all kinds of trivial matters, anyway, Song Yu is doing things drastically, and he does not engage in conspiracies and conspiracy.
"What's wrong with the little prince? Not frightened, right? ”
The Queen Mother's voice was calm again, Song Yu answered as usual, the two of them asked and answered a few words, Song Yu never took the initiative to mention Yan Xitang again, the Queen Mother was probably a little suspicious that she actually defended Shen Tingnian, if she said anything more, it would attract her heart.
"You just mentioned the palace maid, and she is indeed from Ci'an Palace."
As soon as these words came out, Song Yu knew that she was going to clarify the matter of Concubine Jing, she nodded, "Because I found her palace registration, I was out of Ci'an Palace...... Now although he is locked in the Punishment Division, he still has not been officially disposed of, and he has to ask the Queen Mother to show him. ”
I have to say that what she said is beautiful, the Queen Mother doesn't care about anything, it doesn't mean that she can let other people move the people of Ci'an Palace, she is sick, and she can't ignore her own people in one breath.
"The mourning family was sick and drowsy two days ago, and when they woke up halfway, they probably heard something, so they dreamed, so they misunderstood."
What else can Song Yu say, he can only answer, "That's a misunderstanding." ”
"It doesn't matter, so be it, the mourning family is tired, and it's time to rest."
Song Yu saluted and retired, and was not affected by this direct eviction order, and left calmly.
Mama Qi hesitated for a moment, and then didn't go out with her to give it away, she stayed to serve the Queen Mother and lay down, she was very familiar with the Queen Mother's temper, she needed to come along, and she was not happy at the moment, if she didn't do her best to coax, she would be angry again in a blink of an eye.
Out of Ci'an Palace, Song Yu had not yet gotten into the car and happened to meet the errand lieutenant who came to the Qinzheng Palace to pass the word, and heard that the emperor was going to come to Ci'an Palace later, she thought about it and immediately called the palace maid who accompanied her to walk back to Kunning Palace.
"Mother, what's wrong? The face is so ugly. ”
Song Yu didn't want to speak, and walked a long way before he said with a slight sadness, "I don't want to live in this palace because kindness is a weakness." ”
Just now, the Queen Mother said that Shen Tingnian didn't do anything, which was really chilling...... Isn't it chilling to have bloody hands and retribution for injustice? Song Yu looked at the overall situation from the perspective of a real outsider, this whole thing, except for the little prince, no one is really innocent, truly innocent, today's fruit is the cause of the day before yesterday, Concubine Jing and they reaped their own fruits, Shen Tingnian and the emperor were also taught a lesson, and alerted to the future.
She has observed Shen Tingnian for two years, not a person who abuses power and does not take human life seriously, from the follow-up handling of Shen Bo's case last time, Song Yu can see that Shen Tingnian does not intend to turn the harem into a battlefield where killing stops killing, Huairou and deterrence go hand in hand, and it turns out that the group of people who caused trouble last time did settle down.
And this time, Song Yu couldn't figure out what Shen Tingnian would do, she was both curious and apprehensive.
###
Shen Tingnian didn't wait for the emperor to come up to eat together, it was rare that he didn't see anyone all day, and he was a little empty.
Even Brother Zhan was a little absent-minded, but he was still thick-skinned and secretly asked the emperor about his whereabouts, he went to Ci'an Palace to see the Queen Mother - Shen Tingnian couldn't help but think more, this Queen Mother wouldn't be not very good.
I thought that it was because Brother Zhan was robbed that I fainted in fright, and now if I can't afford to be sick, I will leave......
"Suoqiao, you take the time to go to the Tai Hospital, and ask the old imperial doctor to ask the Queen Mother for a pulse ...... in two days."
"I'll write a letter later, you can also send it, don't shy away from anything, just send it out of the palace normally."
Shen Tingnian planned to write a letter and ask the Shen family to find a famous doctor in the Jiangnan area to enter Beijing, so as to be prepared.
In fact, it is better for the emperor to order someone to do this, but Shen Tingnian felt that the queen mother herself was afraid that she didn't like such a movement, as if she had ulterior motives and wished that she would stay away from the world as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after the emperor came to Ci'an Palace to accompany him for dinner, the Queen Mother immediately sank her face when she heard him say that she wanted to seek a doctor, not only refusing, but also being very angry.
According to Pu Yangxu's previous thinking, he would definitely feel that the Queen Mother was unreasonable, and he didn't appreciate her to seek medical treatment, but today he didn't.
"If the queen mother doesn't agree, it's just that, why be angry and tired."
If he said that he didn't believe Chen Yuyi's words before, the Queen Mother's attitude made him half-believe it for a moment.
"It's the best, my body has its own number, and I can't die."
Even the taboo words of death were spoken, Pu Yangxu pondered for a moment, it seems that tonight is not the time to talk.
"What do you do secretly, just ask what you want to ask."
The Queen Mother thought that he was going to ask about Concubine Jing, so she was not afraid of him asking, but unexpectedly, Pu Yangxu had been brewing for a long time, and the questions thrown out made people dizzy.
"Mother, are you really sick of heart?"
"Who told you what?"
The Queen Mother had a straight face, and her tone was more cold than ice.
Her medical registration was locked up by her personally, and the imperial doctor who saw her was the head of Zhu Yuan, who had received the favor of the Queen Mother when he was young, and it was impossible for him to tell her condition, even if it was the emperor, he would not let go.
"Queen Mother, you ......" Pu Yangxu was so excited at a shallow try, and immediately her expression changed, as if she was puzzled and confused, "I'm just asking, you don't seem to have been cured of your illness." ”
"Heart disease is not cured, and if you are anxious, you will commit ......" The Queen Mother also realized that her words and deeds were excessive, and she also changed her tone, and her face softened, "It's good to take care of it." ”
There was a brief silence.
The mother and son are close at hand, but their hearts are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
