The Eighteen-Year-Old Queen Mother (3)
At the court meeting, the ministers began to have great opinions on the release of those palace concubines, but only reluctantly agreed when Shen Wan and the regent and others insisted repeatedly, and said that Xichen also had this plan before his death
Shen Wan is a little helpless about arguing about this matter, in the final analysis, the exile of concubines can be said to be a matter of the harem, she is in charge, but the ministers like to deal with it as a state matter, if they make their own decisions, I am afraid that those imperial histories will impeach themselves again
As soon as the will came out, those concubines seemed to be stunned, they probably thought that they could only spend the rest of their lives in this harem like stagnant water, but they didn't expect that they would be able to leave the palace in their lifetime, and they were still so young, if they could get out of the palace, they would definitely be able to find a good home, so they came to Chen Palace to thank Shen Wan
Shen Wan looked at them, the eldest of them was only seventeen years old, if she wanted to let them be alone in the palace like this, it would be too cruel However, she could only release these who had not been served, and those who had been served were no longer complete, so naturally they could not be released from the palace
They went back after thanking her, Shen Wan went to Mingde Palace to find Mrs. Mingde, Mrs. Mingde was playing with Fang Er, her face was full of maternal brilliance Shen Wan walked to her side, and saw Fang Er under her raising, white and chubby, very cute
"You treat Fang'er very well," Shen Wan said with a smile
Mrs. Mingde looked up to see that it was her, and also smiled: "Children are funny"
Shen Wan nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Actually, I know that the first emperor has not slept with you, so I don't know if you want to go home?" ”
Mrs. Mingde said, "Go home?" ”
Shen Wan said: "Yes, go home, go back to Haidong"
Mrs. Mingde thought for a while, looked at Fang Er and asked, "If I am allowed to go back to Haidong, child, can I take it with me?" ”
Shen Wan smiled and said: "Of course not, Fang Er is the second prince of the first emperor, and when he grows up in the future, he will be the prince, how can I let you take it away?" ”
"Then, I won't go home" Mrs. Mingde's eyes were firm, she shook her head and said, "Here is Fang'er, this is my home, I can't have my own children in the future, so, Fang'er is my child"
Shen Wan looked at her in a daze, and she no longer looked at Shen Wan, just looked at Fang Er intently, and the warmest smile appeared on her face
Shen Wan left quietly, in a few hours, it will be the New Year, this year, but there is no New Year's atmosphere at all This is the second year she has spent in the palace, I didn't expect it to be so bleak
……………………………… I'm the dividing line after six years..............................
In the early spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the spring is full of spring and bathed in the spring sunshine in the Chengong Palace, and it also looks brilliant In a room in the inner hall of the Chengong Palace, Shen Wan and Xi Chao sat opposite each other, Shen Wan twisted a chess piece in her hand, and was thinking about which position Xi Chao looked at her quietly, she was wearing a light gray robe, her hair was combed into a fallen horse bun, and she was only decorated with a white hosta, her face was not powdered, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a touch of sadness
She is the Queen Mother, so she can't dress too flamboyantly, and over the years, except for black, white, gray and brown, she has never worn any other colors, because she wants to show her solemnity as the Queen Mother
But she is still so young, she likes light pink, apricot yellow, willow green, and ...... And these colors no longer have anything to do with her
Xi Chao let out a long sigh in her heart, watching her drop the chess piece, and she also dropped a chess piece at will over the years, Ah Wan has worked too hard
"The people who were sent out, are there always no news?"
Xi Chao knew that she was asking about those who went to Huitou Cliff, so he said: "At first, I couldn't go to the bottom, but then I went down, but I couldn't find anything."
"Not even bones?" Shen Wan didn't raise her head, and fell again
Xi Chao said: "Ah Wan, don't think about it anymore"
Shen Wan was unmoved, and said softly: "Is it possible, he is not dead?" ”
Xichao was stunned there, this may also be ......, "Ah Wan, I see that you are a little tired today, it is better to play chess another day!" Zhao'er will come back from school later, and you have to supervise him to do his homework! He doesn't listen to anyone but yours now."
Shen Wan smiled at this time: "At a young age, I have the emperor's money, and I don't know who I learned it from."
Xi Chao smiled: "Maybe he was born to be an emperor!" ”
Shen Wan put the chess pieces back and said, "Yes, no, you better go back first and wait for Zhao'er to see you here, and I have to pester you to take him out of the palace and ride a horse!" After that, he said angrily: "You always spoil him so much!" ”
Xi Chao smiled, got up to say goodbye, and seemed to hear Shen Wan's whisper in a trance: "Why do I always feel that he is not dead yet?" His body was shocked, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly walked out
Ah Wan's heart, there is still his regret to look at the sky on the palace, sad and want to cry, he still remembers that year in front of the ministers and said: "This king will not marry again in this life, this king swears allegiance to the emperor!" "As long as he doesn't marry a woman or have children in his life, then he can guarantee that his subordinates will always be as loyal to the emperor as he is!
The spring sky was exceptionally clean, and a few pieces of catkins floated in front of him under the action of the wind, and he reached out to catch them, but the catkins slipped away from his fingertips
"As long as it's windy, you won't stay?" He muttered to himself, they had been together for six years like the real Queen Mother and the Regent, without any transgression and the feeling that could be seen but not touched...... He can swallow all the bitter water, as long as she lives well and doesn't bother her with gossip
At the court meeting on the second day, it was suddenly mentioned that the lord of the Western Kingdom had removed their general, because their general was Shen Lan, so Shen Wan seemed particularly concerned and asked to send someone to the Western Kingdom to find Shen Lan immediately
"Queen Mother, Shen Lan was once a traitor to my Great North, if he is recovered, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble," said a minister
Shen Wan said unexpectedly angrily: "What do you know! Shen Lan has the talent of a general! How much effort did it take for the mourning family to ...... Hum! In short, only by recovering Shen Lan can my Dabei break through Huiyan Pass and capture the Western Kingdom! ”
The loyal ministers talked for a while, and the regent frowned slightly, and said: "Since the queen mother's will is like this, then Weichen will send someone to the western country!" "Ye Cangqiong once insulted Ah Wan, no wonder Ah Wan would be in such a hurry to get rid of this big trouble!
(ps: The pity is left to the boss lady herself, hehe, I won't marry for life, and then I met the boss lady...... So, the proprietress became the princess regent, ohhahaha~~)
