The emperor's concubines don't dare to be too aggressive on weekdays, who dares to pamper and give the queen no face, the queen mother will personally slap her face. Even if she is as favored as a concubine, she doesn't dare to get along with the queen openly on weekdays.

After all, when she was still the crown princess, she had already dared to tear up the concubine who relied on her mother's strength and her husband's favor to attack her, and even united with her mother's family to tear the concubine's maiden family to the scum, and made it impossible to find the slightest fault.

At that time, those ministers knew why the first emperor would disregard the wishes of the first emperor and appoint the crown princess. is really brave and resourceful, her ability is not inferior to the prince, and her mother's family is very centered.

Later, after she became the queen, she didn't take the harem concubines seriously.

However, she is not a vicious and cold-blooded person, and after she died of the emperor, she had no interest in the battle of the palace, and devoted herself to cultivating her children.

Coupled with the rivalry of her mother's family, the queen's position is unbreakable, and none of the concubines and the maiden family behind them who want to pull her off the horse have a good end.

Since then, the ministers of the DPRK and China have also learned wisely, and they dare not move those thoughts that should not be moved, and only let their daughters try their best to fight for the interests of the family in the palace, but they must not fight the queen's idea.

This tradition continues to the present day.

The emperors of the two dynasties, the harem is stable, and it is very boring.

That's a bit of a stretch.

When the Queen Mother heard Xiao Jingchen talk about the toothache, she glared at him very dissatisfied.

"Can't you miss your grandmother, I'm okay? I've been hiding this candy for a long time, so I'm waiting for you to come back and share a little bit of it. If you don't behave, I'll give Changle all this candy. ”

Changle, the daughter of the emperor and empress, and the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the queen mother finished threatening, she happily opened the box again, revealing the sugar cubes with the fragrance of osmanthus inside.

"This is the osmanthus candy of Wanwei Pavilion, where did grandma get it?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You kid is quite knowledgeable, I asked Xiao Shunzi to sneak people out of the palace to buy it." Although the imperial chefs in the palace can also cook it, I always feel that their cooking is not as delicious as Wanwei Pavilion. You quickly pinch two pieces and taste them, and if the red girl comes back in a while, she will definitely confiscate this candy. ”

A smile flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, and following her words, he pinched a piece and put it in his mouth.

Mama Hong is the first person in front of the Queen Mother, what kind of momentum does the Queen Mother have to avoid opening Mama Hong's eyes? It's just that Mama Hong deliberately indulged the Queen Mother.

After all, the days in the palace are too boring, and the Queen Mother doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas.

It's just that she is old and has bad teeth, and the doctor doesn't let her eat more, so Mama Hong is very strict in this regard, so the Queen Mother has developed the fun of stealing candy. The master and servant battled their wits and courage all day long for this little thing, and had a lot of fun.

Xiao Jingchen doesn't like sweets, so he only ate one bite and didn't eat it, and the Queen Mother took another one and forcibly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Changle and they all ate two pieces, and you only ate one, it seems that I am so biased."

After stuffing, the Queen Mother closed the small box and hid it back in the kang table again.

As soon as it was done, Mama Hong walked in from outside, holding the strawberries that Xiao Jingchen had sent before.

The Queen Mother squeezed her eyes at Xiao Jingchen and motioned for him to swallow the sugar quickly.

Xiao Jingchen couldn't cry or laugh, such a big piece, he was afraid that he would choke if he swallowed it.

In fact, Mama Hong had already returned, and when he ate the first piece of candy, he heard her footsteps. In order to let the Queen Mother enjoy the fun of stealing candy, Mama Hong deliberately stood outside the hall for a while, making sure that the Queen Mother had hidden the candy before coming in.

Give enough to the queen.

Thinking about it, Mama Hong also worked hard to play this game with the Queen Mother.

Mama Hong pretended not to see Xiao Jingchen's bulging cheeks, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "Queen Mother, the strawberries sent by the prince, the slave maid has been washed, you can taste them." ”

The Queen Mother saw that the strawberry looked pleasant, reached out and pinched one to take a closer look, and said, "This looks a little like the wild berries I ate when I was a child." ”

Thinking of the sour smell of wild berries, the Queen Mother frowned with a little disgust.

"Chen'er, you know that I don't like sour, why do you still give me this thing?"

The corners of Xiao Jingchen's mouth hooked a shallow arc, "Grandma, you take a bite and taste it first, it's not sour." ”

The Queen Mother saw that he was sure of him, so she tried to take a small bite.

The little bit of sourness that came out first made her frown uncontrollably, and then the sweet taste that followed made her brows stretch.

"This tastes pretty good, sweet with a little sourness, and it also has a fresh fragrance."

As he spoke, he shoved the rest of it into his mouth.

Xiao Jingchen sat there and watched the Queen Mother eat one after another.

Mama Hong was afraid that she would lose her temperance and eat her stomach again, so she gently persuaded: "Queen Mother, you can eat less." ”

The Queen Mother said impatiently: "Why are you so annoying? Don't let me eat the sweet, it's not so sweet, you still let me eat less. This is Chen'er brought it back to me from afar, I ate it this time, and I don't know where it will be next time. ”

Mama Hong was helpless, and threw a look at Xiao Jingchen for help.

Xiao Jingchen hid the smile in his eyes, and also persuaded him: "Grandma, I guessed that you should watch and eat this, so I made a special trip to bring some strawberry seedlings back, and let people plant them in your palace, and when the season comes, you can eat them at any time." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up: "Then dare to be kind, red girl, you hurry up, get all the flowers in the garden for me, and vacate the land." ”

"Queen Mother, the flowers in the garden are all exotic flowers and plants that the emperor collected for you......"

The Queen Mother was very impatient, "What is the use of those flowers and plants?" Except for the good looks, it's nothing good. I plucked it and returned it to the emperor, so that he could grow it and play with it himself. ”

Mama Hong could only come down and tell the palace attendants to hurry up and clean up the garden.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and turned her head to look at Xiao Jingchen again.

"Chen'er, you are twenty-five years old this year, the prince is the same age as you, and the children have already run all over the ground, you are alone, don't you have any ideas? Tell your grandmother about the girls you can fancy in Kyoto? ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Xiao Jingchen was silent.

When the Queen Mother saw him like this, she felt bored.

"Every time you mention this, you look like you're dead. Are you going to just keep beating singles? This prince of the Manchu Dynasty, which one is as old as you and not has a group of wives and concubines? You're good, you have to be unsociable. This time you happen to be back.,I'll make an order tomorrow.,Hold a flower viewing party.,It just so happens that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming.,Call all the unmarried girls in Kyoto.,Take your pick.,Which one you choose.。 ”

Xiao Jingchen had a headache.

"Grandma, I have my own plans for my marriage, you don't have to worry about me."
