Chapter 31: A good opportunity to compete for favor

He paused slightly, and then sat down again.

The palace concubines glanced at each other obliquely, and they all went out.

It was Concubine Yuan, who stopped for a while before twisting her handkerchief and going out.

At the same time, she felt uneasy in her heart, for fear that the Queen Mother would abandon her and raise Jiang Qianyan again.

After the palace concubines all went out, she asked Aunt Qin behind her for the enamel jewelry box prepared in advance, which contained two bottles of "peach blossom pollen".

She walked to the middle and saluted, "Queen Mother, this is a peach blossom pollen made by the concubine herself, which is used to clean her face and beautify her face." ”

She didn't know what the Queen Mother was looking for.

But the original owner left a devastating impression on the Queen Mother, and I thought that the Queen Mother was looking for her to admonish.

As the saying goes, eat others with a soft mouth, and take others with short hands.

She sent the things out first, and the Queen Mother should be more merciful.

"When are you going to do this?" The Queen Mother still held her forehead, her eyes closed, "The mourning family remembers, you have always been a person who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, and you can't do anything except do it." "Last time, I heard the slave say that Jiang Cairen sent this thing, and she wanted to go to the Three Treasures Hall without doing anything, so she let people drive them away.

After all, her niece used to beg her every time she did something wrong.

Tilting Yan: "I saw it in the medical book, and this is not difficult, it is to grind herbs into powder, and add a little other materials, as for the previous things, ......"

She paused slightly, a little sneering, "I don't remember the past, but the servants have told me about those things, in the past, it was my fault that made my aunt worry, I was in charge of the middle palace at that time, and I was very busy all day." Now that I am no longer in charge of the Middle Palace, I have time to do this to honor you. ”

Qian Yan knew in his heart when to respectfully call the Queen Mother.

When should I call my aunt closely, and play the family card at the right time.

For a while, the Queen Mother was silent.

She doesn't say she believes, she doesn't say she doesn't believe it.

After a long time, the Queen Mother didn't ask again.

She also made a gesture to let the old lady next to her accept the peach pollen.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother said in a light tone: "When you were still the queen in the past, the mourning family told you that even if you stand on the top of the mountain, don't throw stones at the mountainside and the people at the foot of the mountain, maybe people will climb up one day, and maybe you will go downhill one day." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, "You don't listen to me, you have to throw stones at them, now it's okay, lift a stone and hit your own feet, and become the palace concubine with the lowest position in the harem, you, just wait for them to throw stones at you in turn." ”

After listening to the queen mother, she compared the intrigue of the harem to throwing stones, and replied respectfully: "In the past, the concubines were ignorant and disobedient, which bothered you." In the future, I will definitely change my mind and be a new person! ”

The queen mother who held her forehead paused slightly, "In the past, the mourning family taught you so much, but you didn't listen to a word, and you wanted to do it in the harem, but now it's good, tell me that you want to be a new person?" ”

"But your current position, plus the things you did before, people just told you to crawl under her crotch, you have to crawl obediently, they, stepping on you is like stepping on an ant......"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother rubbed her temples with a headache.

This niece, if she had listened to her earlier, she would not have fallen to the point where she is today.

"I know what you said, it's all my own sin, no matter what, I have to get through it!" Yan Yan's tone was firm.

As for the sins of the original owner, she must be whitewashed in front of the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother will change her opinion of her.

Although the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, she is also the emperor's mother and her aunt.

If it can be good, it is better to leave a good impression.

I saw the Queen Mother raise her head slightly, looking at the face of the lower head.

"It's good that you can think like this, but the sad family has ugly words ahead, all of this is your own doing, you have to bear the consequences by yourself, and find a way to gain a foothold in the harem."

"The mourning family understands that you don't have the ability to stand up, and the mourning family can't help you. If you want to stand up, you don't need to be helped by others. ”

Tanyan heard it, the queen mother meant that the original owner had no ability to stand up, and she didn't listen to her old man everywhere.

also wasted the queen mother's cultivation, and also said that she would not help her again in the future.

She pulled her lips and smiled back with understanding: "The concubine should remember the teachings of the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother was angry when she saw her smile, "You still have the heart to laugh, everyone in the harem wants you to die, do you know?" ”

"Yes." ”

"Knowing that you are still laughing so heartlessly, what the mourning family said, did you go in your left ear and out of your right ear?"

"Don't dare." ”

Queen Mother: "Then tell me, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Naturally, we want to compete for favor and return to favor as soon as possible." He didn't hide it from the Queen Mother.

Because she saw that the Queen Mother was a good one, "I know that I am in a difficult situation now, but no matter how difficult the days are, I have to face them with a smile, because ...... Flowers do not forget the fragrance, flowers do not forget to smile. The tide does not forget the wind and clouds, and the tide does not forget the original intention! ”

Speaking of this, she looked up at the Queen Mother, "I will not forget Xiziguo's expectations and nurturing grace for me, and I will not forget my aunt's care and cultivation of me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother looked a little moved.

That expression was like watching her rebellious child suddenly wake up and go in the direction she was looking forward to.

The Queen Mother saw the firmness and fortitude in Qian Yan's eyes, which she had never seen in Qian Yan's eyes.

Although she knew that the person who said such a thing would not seek death.

But the Queen Mother still instructed Qianyan, "That's it, you can let the emperor lift your grounding, I think it's an idea and a little capable." Although you are only a talented person now, as long as our Xizi country and the northern border country continue to be friendly, you still have a chance to climb up step by step. ”

"You have to remember that you are not alone, you represent the face of the entire royal family of the Siz Kingdom, and even affect the relationship between the Sizi Kingdom and the Northern Neighboring Kingdom."

"Of course, the most important thing is that you are not allowed to do stupid things in the future, even if it is ......"

Even if it's not the identity of the queen and the life is not so beautiful, don't jump off the building to find your death again.

Deal... Her aunt can still afford to raise and protect her.

But halfway through the words, the Queen Mother swallowed again.

Some things are still not said so early, lest this child lose his motivation and always feel that she and Xizi Guo are backers.

Her niece, who has always been weird enough to kick her nose in the face, can't give her a good face!

Moreover, she still hopes that this child can climb up.

In the end, it is the daughter cultivated by the royal family of the Sizi Kingdom, or the in-laws.

No matter what the Queen Mother said, she listened carefully.

Although the Queen Mother's tone was light, the words she said were heavier than a sharp reprimand.

That kind of heavy talk is not a negative heavy talk, but a positive heavy talk.

Because she could feel the high hopes and favor that the Queen Mother and even the entire Xizi country placed on her from her words.

And when the Queen Mother taught her, she hated iron so much.

She was in a trance for a while, in her past and present lives, no family member has ever regarded her as so important!

She took a deep breath and replied to the Queen Mother affirmatively, "The concubine has already figured out many things, and she won't do stupid things anymore." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to let out a casual "um", then held her forehead and closed her eyes again, "The mourning family is tired, you can step down." ”

"Yes." Qian Yan bowed to the Queen Mother, and then left the hall with Aunt Qin.

And the queen mother in the palace looked at the beautiful shadow, and then put away her usual seriousness, and asked the personal servant with a smile, "Mama Ding, have you seen her change?" ”

"See." Mama Ding replied with a smile: "The old slave has become a governor when he sees Jiang Cairen, you can rest assured." ”

Don't look at the Queen Mother who didn't give Jiang Cairen a good face on the surface, but this one is a master with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

God knows that after Jiang Cairen jumped off the building, although the Queen Mother didn't go to see it, she couldn't sleep for a few nights, and said that she was sorry for her brother who was far away in Xizi.

At this moment, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "This is the daughter cultivated by the royal family of my Sizi Kingdom." ”

Mama Ding smiled and tried to ask: "It's just that Jiang Cairen has a low position in the harem now, and he must be having a hard time, and you are about to go to Daozhou, should we send someone to take care of Jiang Cairen in private?" ”

"Not necessarily." The Queen Mother's face sank, and she was ruthless, "If you don't go through the trial, how can you see the wind and rain, before her, she was protected by the Xizi Kingdom and us too well!" ”

Mama Ding nodded and responded "yes" again and again.

In the following days, it snowed in the capital.

At first, it was only accompanied by a light rain, and then there was a "crackling" Xiaoice hail.

After a while, I saw goose-feather snowflakes falling from the sky, and the ground gradually turned white.

Since being kissed by the French on that day, he has never seen the emperor again.

Of course, this is only for her.

As for the harem, it is still the same as before, and some of the emperors are in the same vein as the rain and dew.

Such days lasted until a morning in mid-December.

In the early morning of this day, Qian Yan and the concubines sat in the Wenhua Palace.

Somehow, she always felt that the eyes of the concubines were a little earnest, and they looked like they wanted to say something.

On the head, Concubine Wen smiled gently: "The emperor took annual leave a few days ago, at this time in previous years, we all had to go to the hot spring village to escape the cold, and this year is no exception, the emperor has already said, we will leave Longquan Villa in three days to avoid the cold." ”

Beilinguo has always believed that no matter how smart the brain is, it can't overthink for a long time, and the body can't overwork.

Otherwise, it will enter a period of fatigue and the person will become numb.

It was unanimously decided by the Emperor and the Minister of Parliament that eight points of tension and two points of relaxation were the best state of work.

Therefore, the northern border country does not squeeze the rest time of the court officials and ordinary people, and takes two days off every ten days.

In normal times, there is no need to go to court every day, and generally if there is any trivial matter, the emperor will directly summon him to the palace for questioning.

Unless there is a major event, all the ministers will be summoned to the court.

The rest of the time, everyone works in their respective positions.

During the New Year's holidays, there will also be a corresponding rest time.

It's like the Chinese New Year, with half a month of annual leave.

At this moment, when the concubines present heard that they were going to Longquan Villa, their eyes immediately lit up.

It's a hot spring villa, and it's a good opportunity to compete for favor!

Maybe, you can take a mandarin duck bath with the emperor.
