Zhu'er looked left and right, and whispered in Lian Bijue's ear:

"I heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have never dealt with each other very much. It is said that the first emperor was not the biological son of the empress dowager, in fact, the empress dowager was younger than the first emperor.

The first emperor liked the empress dowager, but because of his identity, he had to give up. The queen who was selected in the end was also a woman very similar to the Empress Dowager when she was young, and the Empress Dowager's family was just an ordinary commoner.

The Queen Mother was quite inferior because of this matter, and she was particularly disgusted with those official ladies. I remember that when the nobles went with the crowd to greet the Queen Mother, her face was terrifying. ”

Lian Bijue nodded, then frowned, and said softly:

"You don't chew your tongue here, just say these things to me, if you are listened to by others, do you still want your head? These are all taboos in the harem, since you know the likes and dislikes of the Queen Mother, when you see the Queen Mother later, you must be more cautious and don't offend the Queen Mother. ”

"Yes." Zhu'er nodded nervously, looked at the eaves of Cining Palace from afar, and couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth.

※

The Empress Dowager is the mother of the new Emperor Yongsheng and now lives in Cining Palace. She was only in her early forties, and with proper maintenance, she looked like a wealthy young woman.

At this time, she was reclining on the chaise longue, lazily embroidering a silk handkerchief, and the bowl of jade soup on the table was no longer hot.

The Queen Mother embroidered a needle and sighed, as if the needle weighed a thousand catties.

"Queen Mother, I heard that the apricot blossoms in the garden are blooming, why don't you go to the garden with the slave and maid to walk around the garden and relax?" Aunt Yun asked in a whisper on the side.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, turned her head to look out the window, and read slowly: "The heating is submerging the second spring, and the plum blossoms have been renewed." In the half-open and half-fallen idle garden, how different is the glory and withering of the world. ”

Aunt Yun was confused when she heard it, and she didn't know what the Queen Mother meant. But looking at her sad face, he hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to say anything more, lest his words accidentally make her even more unhappy.

The Queen Mother looked out the window fixedly, and continued to muttered to herself:

"These flowers and plants are like people, blooming and failing. Today is pink, tomorrow is willow green, endless.

To this day, I often think of the first time I entered the palace, the first emperor passed by the plum garden, he looked so tall and handsome, but when he smiled slightly, he was so gentle.

I always felt that if I looked out a little longer, I would see him coming in from the garden...... But, you're already calling me the Queen Mother......"

Aunt Yun's heart tightened when she heard this, and she opened her mouth to say something comforting, but she found that she couldn't find the right words to comfort her. He sighed softly and shut his mouth again.

At this time, I heard someone come to report, saying that the jade nobleman asked to see him.

"Nope." The Queen Mother spit out these two words without thinking.

"Yes." The palace maid answered and was about to leave, when the queen mother suddenly changed her words: "Wait, let her go to the side hall and wait." ”

The palace maid replied in a daze, turned around and walked out of the room.

"Queen Mother." Aunt Yun hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother's side and helped her sit up.

"Change clothes, I'm going to meet my daughter-in-law." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Queen Mother, slave maid can't understand, why did so many people not choose the Queen Mother, just fished this jade noble person out of the cold palace and forced it to the saint?"

"Hmph, she just wants to answer me. It is to make me unhappy to see the woman who was supposed to be my husband become the woman of my son, so that I can be humiliated by this!

Moreover, she just wants to tell me that even if I become the queen mother, I have to listen to her arrangement, and in this harem, she still controls everything! The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said.

Aunt Yun helped the Queen Mother to stand up, walked towards the inner hall, and asked curiously as she walked:

"Then, why didn't the Queen Mother object?"
