The Queen Mother's words were like a thousand words, and they hit Huo Qinglian's heart hard, she immediately sat up straight, wiped away her tears, and said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

"What the mourning family wants to tell you is that the Su clan can be suppressed, but Xiao Zhou's clan, you have to win it over!" The Queen Mother said leisurely, "For the sake of Ganlin's position as the crown prince, these two people must be allowed to him." ”

"Queen Mother, Su Clan, I know that the military power of the Wudehou Mansion is too strong, and the daughter of their family can't be allowed to give it to the prince, but the Xiao Zhou family?" Huo Qinglian asked in surprise, "It's not that I feel sorry for the position of a side concubine, but I just wonder why the queen mother wants to do what the queen wants?" Didn't the Queen Mother say in the past that she would not let the Queen dominate me? ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said softly: "You stupid boy, isn't it for you that the mourning family is doing this?" Even if the mourning family tries their best to cover it up over the years, they still love you the most, this point, Xiao Zhou's has been jealous for a long time, is it possible that you can't see it? Speaking of this jealousy, the Su family is from the gate valve after all, but it is much more atmospheric than the Xiao Zhou family! ”

Huo Qinglian was confused: "In that case, why didn't the Queen Mother marry her to someone else?" For example, the king of Chu. She bit her lip and whispered, "It just happened to make her and the Su family completely turn against each other......

"You have the calculation of the latter words, but it is not in vain that the mourning family has taught over the years, but you don't know that the enmity between your aunt and the queen is as deep as the sea, marry Xiao Zhou, and your aunt will definitely not allow her to live to get married!" The Queen Mother sneered and said, "Since the one in Qiongtong Palace went crazy, the mourning family didn't want the emperor to be sad anymore, the concubine didn't do anything too excessive, and the mourning family had to tolerate her, besides, she hated the queen, that was also human nature, thinking that the emperor really liked her, and for the sake of the rules in the past few years, the mourning family had to give her this face." She looked at Huo Qinglian, "Remember, this is also to give you face, she is your aunt, her honor and disgrace, and she will also have a relationship with you when she turns a corner!" ”

"What about the Third Highness?" Huo Qinglian was very unwilling, there was a gate valve noblewoman Su Ruhui who already made her feel threatened, especially the Su family's brother-in-law and fellow brother, who were all accompanied by the prince, although Su Rufeng was not as good as the eldest son and concubine of the Su family, but Gu Shizhen ...... This civilian boy who became famous at a young age, with the brilliance of the female history Xue Zi Dark, is talented, if he is not too young, Emperor Changtai intends to leave him to the prince, in terms of ability, he should have been released a long time ago, and he has been honing for more than ten years, I am afraid that he is another Hodder!

These two brothers are not only outstanding, but more importantly, because of these two people, in the past few years, although the crown prince Gan Lin and the Su family have met far less often than the King of Chu, Gan Lin has a different view of this only concubine under the knee of Wudehou after all...... Well, when he went back to Lin Yuan and changed someone, would the prince take the risk to save him?

Whenever he thought of this question, Huo Qinglian felt upset.

"What about Danju? Could it be that the dignified Dongjiao Yan went out of the county lord to be a vassal king's side concubine? ”

Huo Qinglian was taken aback: "Queen Mother, do you really want to marry the Lord of Danzhu to His Royal Highness?" In that case, wouldn't the queen and the crown prince ......"

"Hmph, what else is Dongjiao besides wealth? A county lord, King Dongjiao is not without other children, where can there be more private houses for this county lord? Only when Empress Zhou and the Shen family are so petty that they can only stare at the harem, they will grab her so tightly. The Queen Mother said lightly, "Since Concubine Shu wants this daughter-in-law, it doesn't hurt for the Mourning family to give her, after all, it is the grandson of the Mourning family, Danzhu grew up with the Mourning family, and her temperament is gentle and atmospheric. ”

Seeing that Huo Qinglian was silent, the Queen Mother glanced at her and said earnestly: "Lian'er, if you want to finally live in the place where the mourning family lives now, you have to remember. The palace does not do political affairs! However, you must not be ignorant of political affairs! ”

"Ask the Queen Mother for advice!"

"Concubine Shu wants Danzhu, first, Danzhu herself is a good daughter-in-law, and second, her identity, Concubine Shu sees the latter more. This is because there has always been a tradition of the lord of Dongjiao County entering the palace as a concubine! The Queen Mother patiently mentioned, "Especially Danzhu was raised by the Mourning family, a few of you, maybe there will be speculation outside, but Danzhu, everyone thinks that she must be a candidate for the imperial concubine!" The same is true for Concubine Shu, she wants to marry Danzhu for Gan Tang, but in fact, she is also testing the attitude of the mourning family! ”

"Then why did the Queen Mother still allow her?" Huo Qinglian didn't understand it even more.

The Queen Mother took a deep look at her: "You have to remember, even if you want to do something, you can't blindly suppress people with power, and you should pay attention to checks and balances, as well as the combination of grace and power, so that people can be convinced!" Of course, the mourning family can refuse Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu seven years ago, she was afraid of borrowing a few guts from her, and she didn't dare to open this mouth, but why did she come now? ”

"This is because the Queen Mother supported her...... Huo Qinglian said without thinking, "The Queen Mother can make Concubine Shu from a concubine who has a high position but is close to falling out of favor to the only concubine in the Six Palaces who has the right to dispose of palace affairs except for the queen, and naturally she can be beaten down......"

"Then the mourning family asked you, what is the mourning family doing to raise the concubine in a good manner?" The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and asked coldly, "It's not that the queen can't handle the palace affairs originally, she has been dealing with them for more than ten years, why do you suddenly have to find one more person to share it for her?" And among the four concubines, the concubine is second only to the queen! Today's Concubine De, Mrs. Baoluo back then, and a few of the nine concubines, what did the mourning family do to raise the concubine? ”

"Concubine Shuniang commanded Ruoding at the night banquet Chinese New Year's Eve of the twenty-fifth year of Changtai, she is the concubine of Xiliang Shen after all......" Huo Qinglian was halfway through his words, but saw that the Queen Mother had already laughed, so he quickly stopped his mouth and waited for the Queen Mother to show him in fear.

"Nature is a check and balance!" The Queen Mother said slowly, "The Huo family is your mother's family, and the mourning family has to consider it for you, plus Huo Changqing's sex. Son, I won't let them get involved, Concubine Gu Xian is the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Jingsu, the Empress Dowager Jingsu is famous, her maiden family has always been low-key, and she doesn't like to show up, not to mention that the second concubine of Xiande has no children under her knees, and the promotion will not have much impact on the queen, and Concubine Gu Xian, the mourning family has other arrangements! That's why Concubine Shen Shufei will be promoted! Otherwise, the concubines in this palace who can achieve more than three grades, who go to the main hall of Weiyang Palace to sit for a few years, can build a few points of motherhood, do you really think you have to be someone? ”

Huo Qinglian muttered: "But the Queen Mother chose Huo Gui first...... My aunt presided over the palace affairs, and it was His Majesty who mentioned the concubine, and the queen mother handed it over to the concubine, why is this? ”

"The mourning family wants to see the emperor's attitude towards the concubine, and the second is to see the concubine's proportion." The Empress Dowager said lightly, "The emperor still protects the noble concubine, and the Huo family always knows the importance - you said that at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet that year, the empress was so easily fainted, and the noble concubine once made the emperor want to make her the queen, but when she really encountered things, she didn't even know a little bit of proportion?" ”

Huo Qinglian bit his lip: "I know." ”

"There is another reason for raising Concubine Shen Shu." The Queen Mother said bitterly, "If you think about it carefully, the Zhou family and the Huo family are both ordinary scholars, with the name of Qingliu, but they have no real power, even though Huo De is known as a peach and plum all over the world, and he has been a protégé of the Taishi for decades, so there are as many as carp crossing the river, but the Dayong Sipo Army can make those so-called Qingliu and civil officials shut up if they just pull out one!" Now the military power is in the hands of Qingzhou Su, the Su family is different from the Liu family, and it was easy to collect the military power of the Liu family back then, firstly, because of the eight years of witchcraft in Longhe, which is justifiable, and secondly, because Wenwei Wu Liu has been dissatisfied for many years! The third is that the Liu family has guarded Donghu since the previous dynasty, and the elites of the descendants are not in the imperial capital, but also the heavenly blessing royal family, and there was a Taifu Wuluo in those years, loyal to the royal family, and the generals of the Liu family, so as to successfully defeat Wei and Liu! ”

"But Sue is different! Since Dingding, the descendants of the Su family have followed the royal family into the imperial capital, leaving only the branch to operate in Qingzhou, and each generation of descendants who have not entered the official career will also return to Qingzhou to strengthen the connection between the two sides. More importantly, the Su family is cautious, has no handle, and acts in a low-key manner, but there is no shortage of talented people. What's more, Wu Luo is old, Zhou Zinan's art of war is not weak, but his power and strategy are far inferior to Taifu! If Taifu is too old, no one can hide the light of the Su family. The Queen Mother sighed deeply, "Don't say anything else, you see Su Ruhui, when she received the order to enter the palace, she was able to invite Xue Nushi as the West Seat in a hurry!" This is something that even the royal family can't do! ”

Huo Qinglian was mediocre, and he was ignorant of Xue Ziyan's arrogance, and couldn't help but say after listening to the Queen Mother's words: "How come? Could it be that the Queen Mother made an edict, and she could still resist the decree? It's just a literati. ”

"In this world, whether it is money or fame, when it reaches a certain level, the influence of power on them has to be discounted." The Queen Mother said leisurely, "When Le An was ten years old, because he read the poems of Xue Nushi, he liked it very much, and he hoped to get the guidance of the female history, and the mourning family loved her, so she let people go to Xue Mansion to post, and wanted to discuss with her to hire her as the princess's teacher, because she had long known that Xue Nushi did not like the powerful, so the mourning family also told the emperor at that time that if the female history did not like to enter the palace, the mourning family authorized Le'an to go out of the palace to study, who knows, Li Guang could not even enter the door of Xue's mansion, and Xue Nushi went out of the city to the other courtyard on the same day, and went to the Su family to invite her back. ”

Huo Qinglian raised his eyebrows, only to hear the Queen Mother say again: "Of course, not many people know about this matter, and the mourning family is also afraid of being rejected and hurting the face of the heavenly family!" The Su family probably didn't know about this matter, and if they knew, with their caution, they might not invite again. ”

"That disciple of Xue Nushi's in-house ......" Huo Qinglian thought of the point.

"Good, you thought of it too. Gu Shizhen's talent is now known to the Manchu Dynasty, and the emperor is determined to keep him as the prince's future minister of the humerus. The Su family has good eyesight and is also good calculation, Xue Bai and Guan Xianghou have a little friendship, originally because Xue Bai has only one daughter behind him, and she is a lonely and arrogant talented woman, who knows that after only two months, the Su family has just gotten the identity of a female history named disciple for their daughter, and the Su family does not fancy the name of Xue Nushi, after all, the daughter of the Su family doesn't need a talent at all, she has to be asked to marry, but to get in touch with Gu Shizhen, to be honest, the royal princess is too rare, and Huaizhen is not angry, Otherwise, Gu Shizhen and others, the mourning family and the emperor, don't want him to be pulled over by the gate valve. The Queen Mother sneered and said, "This child is also smart, so the Su family is said to have two daughters interested in him, and other families also have many daughters who have taken a fancy to him, but he has always refused to express his position, because he knows that if he does not have a relationship with the gate valve, the emperor will definitely reuse him. ”

"In short, the Su clan is strong, and the momentum has gradually become a success, and it is difficult to shake them in the current situation." The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Although the mourning family's maiden family has a Wei Yuanbo, in the end, the queen's maiden family is not successful, Su Ruhua is bound to be the imperial concubine, in order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives in the future, and in order not to make changes in the wall, of course the mourning family must raise the Shen family to control the Su family!" ”

"Back then, before the descending of the eldest princess Guangyi, the emperor urgently summoned Shen to enter the capital, just for this reason! Lian'er, you have to know that if you want to sit firmly in this palace, you have to make a good move when others don't expect it! The Queen Mother Yin Yin advised, "The thousand-year-old family, the tree has deep roots!" Those who can deal with them are naturally thousand-year-old families! Shen family, must be helped and caressed, a Danzhu county lord, what is it? ”
