Chapter 2: Determination
In recent years, in addition to her own self-cultivation, the Queen Mother has paid the most attention to Wei Baofu's upbringing.
The Queen Mother knows the intelligence of her granddaughter, and she is the only one who can fully trust her.
Many times when she was swayed by emotions and couldn't get out of the pain of losing her child, it was also thanks to the company of her granddaughter.
"Grandmother, if you could write a new letter, this letter can be a reminder of the past, or a confession of a mother's panic about the loss of her second son."
Wei Baofu was only two years old when Prince Lian accidentally fell from a horse and died, and she still remembered the young man who had dimples when he laughed like her, and how he doted on his wife and daughter.
At that time, the emperor had succeeded to the throne, and Prince Lian was already willing to be a virtuous king, although there was no direct evidence that the emperor did it.
But the follow-up events showed that it would be strange if there was no cat, and the Queen Mother thought that she didn't know anything.
In fact, she remembered everything, but she pretended not to understand and didn't care, so that the Queen Mother could comfort her a little.
Originally, she could have been cared for and accompanied by her parents, and her hatred for the emperor was no less than that of the queen mother.
Wei Baofu knew that although his grandmother had suppressed her temper and was calm and calm, she was still the same as before in her bones.
There are some things that Wei Baofu is worried that she can't do and can't bear.
The Queen Mother seemed to know her thoughts, and patted her hand comfortingly, she had tolerated it for so many years, and she didn't care about disgusting herself like this.
"Later, you can help your grandmother write this letter, and I will copy it after it is written, but the emperor may not be soft-hearted, he has been in power for many years, and his heart is as hard as iron."
The queen mother is just impatient, and she is not a completely heartless person, otherwise she would not have monopolized the favor of the emperor for decades, and she is not inferior to others without unnecessary emotionality.
Wei Baofu was really relieved when he heard her say this, calculating and calculating, just for the sake of their grandparents and grandchildren.
If this really makes my grandmother depressed and sad, she would rather think about it in the long run.
"It's naturally not enough to just start from the emperor, who in this palace now doesn't want us to go back to the palace, some people don't want to naturally look forward to it, it can be mutually beneficial, and we don't mind taking the initiative to build bridges."
The Queen Mother thought of the man's face full of disgust, and thought of her granddaughter, and finally swallowed the vicious words that she wanted to utter.
Some gritted his teeth and said: "Now the last thing I want us to go back to the palace is naturally Concubine Shu, and the queen should be the opposite of her." ”
It is understandable that the queen mother dislikes Concubine Shu, the two are aunts and nephews, and the late Princess Lian and Concubine Shu are twin sisters.
Anyone who has seen the sisters of Prince Lian knows that the two sisters are exactly the same, but the princess is dignified and steady, and the concubine is gentle and weak like water.
No one knows why after Princess Lian died of depression, Concubine Shu would be included in the harem, and there were rumors at that time that the emperor had long coveted Prince Lian, and the princess passed away, so he did not hesitate to find a fake to comfort the lovesickness.
The Queen Mother hated this matter, but in the end, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she could only watch it coldly, and she fell out with her mother's family because of this.
Thinking of Concubine Shu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Wei Baofu's mouth.
The meaning of the smile is unclear, and the Queen Mother can't understand it, many times the Queen Mother doesn't understand her granddaughter very well, but it doesn't prevent her from loving her.
"Then let's write another letter to the queen, now that the princes are growing up, there has never been a shortage of fights in the palace, whether it is you or me, we are not useless, as long as it is useful, we can fight for more."
Killing the emperor to avenge his father, Wei Baofu didn't think about it, but an emperor is related to the life and death of a country, revenge must be avenged, but he can't shake the fundamentals, this Dazhao is still surnamed Wei in the end.
"The queen values reputation, has a weak relationship with the emperor, and the prince's position is not secure, she is a good chess piece."
Wei Baofu smiled, "Grandmother, we don't have the capital to take Qiao at this time, the queen wants to use us as chess pieces." ”
The Queen Mother disagreed, "Who is the chess piece and who is the one who holds the son, it depends on who benefits in the end." ”
In the end, it is a person who has been immersed in the harem for decades, and he has seen it particularly thoroughly.
"Grandmother has a plan in her heart, let's not worry, we can make no mistakes."
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, and at this point, it can only be like this.
Although the Queen Mother can only lie dormant in this palace, she is very concerned about Wei Baofu's upbringing, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or presiding over the feed, she has invited Mr. to teach carefully, so that she must be better than everyone.
When the queen mother was still in the boudoir, she was most impatient to learn these, but when it was her granddaughter's turn, she had to press her to learn.
"Those teachers of yours are gone, but do you want your grandmother to find you a more talented learner?"
Recently, several gentlemen have come to ask for their resignation, and they all said that the talent of the lord of Kangping is above herself, and the queen mother is proud and gratified, but her granddaughter is studious and endless, and she always wants to do her best to provide conditions for her as a grandmother.
Wei Baofu shook his head with a smile, "We will leave here soon, if we invite Mr., I am afraid that it will add a lot of trouble, I love to think about it by myself now." ”
In the face of her unknown field, Wei Baofu has a very learning spirit, but she advocates low-key, so that people can't see the depth is the wisest.
Now that the gentlemen have been dismissed, there is no need to invite them, there are too many people who know her roots, and they will be feared.
"Don't worry, the mourning family has commanded, they won't talk nonsense after they go out, they are all people who cherish talents, and they really cherish you, watching and teaching you to grow up, they all know how to measure."
Wei Baofu is not worried about this, although the gentlemen have their own eccentric tempers, they also really hope that she will be well.
"Grandmother, you can help me collect more books in the future, I love to read them."
The Queen Mother smiled and agreed, "You are better than your grandmother, you will definitely be able to find a good husband in the future, and live a happy life. ”
This is the biggest expectation of the old man now, Wei Baofu did not refute, he was not married in his previous life, but he had experience in love, and in the end he couldn't get married, so he could only say that fate was not enough.
Children and grandchildren have never experienced it around the knee, but they can try it in this life, and maybe it will be very beautiful.
"Grandmother, let's write the letter first, this will have to be carefully considered."
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, and the grandparents got up and went into the study, and after careful consideration, they wrote two letters.
In order to show the sincerity of the Queen Mother, she sent the letter out openly overnight, and the letter to the Queen also sent the eyeliner over.
The palace at night was extremely cold, even if there were a large number of guards patrolling outside, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace did not dare to walk wantonly.
Wei Baofu stood in front of the window, unconsciously rubbing the jade gourd in her hand, she still remembered that this was her mother's second birthday, and her mother hung it around her neck for her.
At that time, the mother smiled sweetly, her eyes were full of tender love, and she said that the gourd symbolized happiness, and her children deserved to be happy for a lifetime.
However, not long after, my father accidentally fell from his horse and died while hunting, and they all said that their mother was worried and sick, and they couldn't rest assured that their father would go with them.
What is the truth, she didn't dare to delve into it, instinctively she sensed the danger, and it was safest to be a child who didn't know anything at that time.
The aunt who was suddenly made a concubine, and the grandfather who originally loved her very much, but suddenly turned his face ruthlessly, all of this has a taste of wanting to cover up.
Fortunately, she is patient, no matter what the truth is, there will always be a day when the clouds will be cleared.
Put the jade gourd in her hand into the brocade box, she doesn't have to worry too much, there is that time, it is better to take care of the industry in her hand, and her identity is not as solid as having money in her hand.
Since she was ten years old, the Queen Mother has handed over all the properties in Prince Lian's name and the princess's dowry to her, and at first the old ladies around the Queen Mother helped take care of it.
Later, she took over completely, and cultivated a group of capable people who were completely loyal to herself.
Not only did it not shrink the industry in her hand, but it expanded several times, and the Queen Mother directly gave her part of her dowry, and she was relieved not to ask.
Although the grandparents and grandchildren were banished to this palace, the emperor did not put them under house arrest, and the grandparents and grandchildren could do a lot, and most of the people sent by the emperor were staring at the queen mother.
Wei Baofu's side is not noticeable, which people are eyeliner over the years, and they have almost figured out and controlled it, and the Queen Mother does not toss, except for accompanying her granddaughter all day long.
Slowly, the emperor didn't bother to ask them about them, but he didn't know that his niece held mountains of gold and silver in her hands under his nose.
"Tomorrow, the shopkeepers outside will come to discuss matters, do those people still need to be sent far away?"
Mama Qian is talking about those eyeliner.
She is very relieved to follow the county lord, even if she doesn't return to the palace, her county lord will be able to live well in the future, and no one can take away the talent of the county lord, which is the foundation of her life.
"No need, the emperor knows the property in my hands, he doesn't care about it on the surface, and he won't find it secretly, and those people are now in ruins."
Mama Qian put her mind at ease, "Then, Pearl and Linglong are going to be called back, they have been serving you since childhood, and they are from the palace, if they are not around, when they return to the palace in the future, there will always be doubts." ”
The people around Wei Baofu are extremely loyal, at first maybe just because of her identity, but later, it was completely because of her personal charm, which has nothing to do with her identity.
Picking up the book he read yesterday, Wei Baofu was immersed in it, and said a little vaguely: "Mama don't worry, I have arrangements for the two sisters, and they will follow me." ”
Bingxin looked at her master, and smiled helplessly at Mama Qian, their county lord is good at everything, that is, he will be addicted to books when he reads, as long as there are books, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it doesn't matter.
Mama Qian whispered to Bing Xin: "You are on duty tonight, but don't let the county lord watch it too late, at most you will have to remind the county lord to rest." ”
Bingxin nodded and agreed, sent Mama Qian away, sat aside, held needlework in her hand, and did it quietly.
From time to time, I glanced at the county lord, added it to her when there was no tea, and cut the heart of the candle when the candle flame was dim, and the service was very intimate.
