"It's just neater, and you can still see it, where can you afford such praise from Your Majesty." Huang Yi'an is very modest.

But I knew in my heart that Qi Yu was not bad, whether she was writing or painting, she was the best among ordinary women.

Who let the Zheng family in the previous life first enter the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor with a manuscript of his own poem?

As a queen who was left out in the cold, she firmly believes that where she falls, she must get up! Therefore, she only knows a basket of words, and she writes only a little better than chicken chops, regardless of the three or nine dog days, she practices big characters every day, reads poetry and books hard, and has worked diligently for most of her life to have today's results.

I didn't want to show it in front of Qi Yu, after all, the newlywed emperor was busy dealing with government affairs, seizing power, and appeasing courtiers every day...... The rest of the energy is also spent on eating her and cooking for her, where can I still care about appreciating the talent she has accumulated for half a lifetime?

But "there is poetry and books in her belly", when the time comes, she can't cover it up if she wants to.

Looking at Qi Yu's bright eyes, it was the first time in his previous life that among the palace concubines who only knew a few words and had read women's training and commandments, he suddenly found that there was a Zheng family who could recite poems against him, and Huang Yi'an was in a complicated mood for a while.

So the reason why Qi Yu favored the Zheng family in his previous life was not only because the Zheng family cared about him and dared to scare him, but also because the Zheng family read more books than them?

It can be seen that no matter what time or circumstance it is, there is always no harm in reading more!

Empress Dowager Chen smiled and praised when she heard this: "This shows that the queen is calm and calm, not such a dazzling person." ”

Such a person can sit firmly in the position of the middle palace and be worthy of the world.

Qi Yu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is right! The queen does have both ability and political integrity, and can be an example for women in the world! ”

A proud face of "my daughter-in-law is the best in the world".

Empress Dowager Chen couldn't help but laugh when she saw it, thinking of the news she heard recently, so she smiled and said: "This also shows that Sister Li really loves Your Majesty, so she insisted on choosing Yi'an as the queen at the beginning." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Qi Yu immediately tasted the meaning of persuasion, and thought in his heart: This matter was not picked on the spot, and he did not quarrel with Empress Dowager Li because of this, but Empress Dowager Chen still knew.

It can be seen that Empress Dowager Chen, who has always ignored mundane affairs, is not really deaf and blind and lacks energy, but is too lazy to care and tired of fighting.

If others persuaded him like this, Qi Yu would not pay attention to it at all, and even reprimanded the other party for being nosy.

But the person who said this was the Empress Dowager Chen-the loving and tolerant mother-in-law who urinated on him, and it was also an indispensable help for him on the road to pro-government in the future - the name of the first emperor and queen was much louder than the empress dowager Li, his biological mother who he respected after he succeeded to the throne

Sometimes, it is not only power that is contested by the DPRK, but also by identity and public opinion.

The smile on Qi Yu's face fell, and he smiled reluctantly: "The queen mother has taught me a lesson, and the child understands." ”

Empress Dowager Chen saw that he looked aggrieved, and knew that he was not really convinced, and he was still holding his breath in his heart, so she spread out and persuaded him: "The mourning family knows about the selection of concubines, and Sister Li did not tell His Majesty in advance, and His Majesty was displeased.

"But this can't be completely blamed on Sister Li. What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. She just sighed a few words casually, but who knew that she was ordered by someone with a heart and arranged it privately? ”

Whether Empress Dowager Li sighed casually or not, Qi Yu knew very well in her heart.

It's just a clan relative, but if Feng Yongting didn't have the approval of Empress Dowager Li, he would never dare to let out the rumors of choosing a concubine, so as to wantonly collect wealth and win people's hearts - these are all Tian Yi came back to revenge him after secretly investigating it.

But after all, Empress Dowager Li is his biological mother, gave birth to him, and worked hard to put him on the throne, and assisted him all the way to the present, which is the biggest help for him on the road to pro-government in the future, whether it is for private or public, Qi Yu can't really break with her.

So he followed Empress Dowager Chen's words, nodded, and sighed in a low voice: "The queen mother understands what these children say, but they can't turn around for a while." The queen mother can rest assured, the kindness of the two queen mothers, the child has always remembered it! ”

Seeing that Qi Yu did not blindly tell lies and perfunctory her, but was willing to tell her the truth, she was very happy in her heart, and gently persuaded: "The mourning family said something that Your Majesty doesn't like to hear, even if Your Majesty is not ready to choose a concubine now, there is no obstacle to letting out the news in advance."

"Sister Li has already chosen the sixteenth day of the first month of next year to hold a ceremony for the queen, and after that, she will select concubines to expand the harem and extend the emperor's heirs, so it is not too early to prepare now."

Thinking about the postponement of the establishment for nearly a year, it is also appropriate to prepare for the selection of concubines a few months in advance.

Huang Yi'an was silent, and stood with his head bowed obediently.

Qi Yu couldn't help but reluctantly agree.

As an emperor who has been set aside, he can only take one step at a time.

After saying goodbye to the Empress Dowager Chen, the emperor and queen walked out of Ciqing Palace speechlessly.

The autumn rain is still dripping, but the two of them no longer have the mood to enjoy the rain when they came.

Empress Dowager Chen's words made them deeply realize that in the majestic and deep palace here, the so-called most honorable emperor and empress in the world are actually just two dolls placed on the throne by the empress dowager and courtiers of the two palaces.

When should the doll cry and when should the doll laugh; When should I eat and when should I sleep...... Someone has already arranged it for them.

They are left to do what they do.

When they went to Cining Palace to greet Empress Dowager Li, the two returned to Kunning Palace.

This time, Qi Yu did not pester Huang Yi'an to cook and make food, but only asked Ah Mei and others to fill the table with the meals sent by Shang Shan Supervisor, and then waved away the palace people.

Huang Yi'an also had no intention of giving Qi Yu cloth vegetables.

Two people sat next to each other, staring at a table of dishes.

Outside the window, the sound of rain was pouring down on the glazed tiles, stirring people's hearts uneasy.

The meal that was already only warm gradually turned cold, and some of them had a layer of lard on top.

The night gradually came up, and the sky, which was already overcast by the autumn rain, suddenly darkened completely.

Ah Mei was worried, and asked respectfully under the curtain: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, do you want the slave to come in and hold the lamp?" ”

She doesn't know what the government is planning, she only knows that the queen mother of the two palaces is strongly advocating the selection of concubines, even if the emperor is powerless to object, and soon a newcomer will come in and share the favor with her own young lady......

Huang Yi'an's voice came from inside the house: "Come in." ”

Sounds calm.

Amello was slightly relieved, replied "yes" respectfully, and walked in with his head down.

The bright and warm candlelight lit up one by one, gradually dispelling the coldness and darkness in the temple.

Huang Yi'an looked at the cold imperial meal and instructed Ah Mei: "Remove all these." ”
