Chapter 146: The Queen's Choice
Mama Jiang smiled and said, "How is Mrs. Lanxiang bad?" The Queen Mother doesn't often praise that Mrs. Lanxiang worships the Buddha, so she is quiet and gentle. Why does the maid want to learn from Mrs. Lanxiang, but the Queen Mother is not happy? ”
Empress Dowager Xu glanced at her: "You old thing, you still talk to me!" Others don't know my mind, you have been with me for so many years, don't you know? ”
She leaned over to see the tortoiseshell embroidery and pointed to the true purple thread, which changed color from goodness.
Empress Dowager Xu took a look, and then continued to talk to Mama Jiang: "The Qian family is a little too calm in his mind. She is only how old she is, and she has been a vegetarian for more than ten years. Look at her standing with Sun Zhaoyi, she looks like Sun Zhaoyi's mother. ”
Mama Jiang couldn't hold back her laughter, and almost tore off the silk thread in her hand.
"The Queen Mother is too good at laughing at people. Why did Mrs. Lan Xiang grow old like that? ”
Empress Dowager Xu grabbed a bunch of silk threads casually, and also helped the tortoiseshell divide the thread: "I didn't say she was old." It's to say that her heart is old. People are still good-looking. ”
She glared at Mama Jiang with a smile again: "You, you misinterpret my words." This is going to make Qian listen to it, and he must be angry with me in his heart. ”
"The Queen Mother has wronged Mrs. Lanxiang." Mama Jiang smiled, "Mrs. Lanxiang is not the person with a small belly. ”
Empress Dowager Xu pouted: "Who knows." The Qian family is incomprehensible, I'm old, and I don't like to think about it anymore. ”
She threw away the silk thread in her hand and leaned on the big pillow behind her: "No one is as good as my Ah Man." is such a well-behaved and clever person, with a pure mind, and he is kind to everyone, and he is not blindly pretending to be virtuous and annoying. What's even more rare is that he is also in love with the king. It's a pity, alas......"
Empress Dowager Xu sighed, and patted the mat under her angrily: "This man is just lazy, he closes his eyes, but he is idle, but he throws this mess in the palace to me, a bad old woman!" ”
The tortoiseshell saw that the Empress Dowager Xu lost her temper and was a little overwhelmed.
Mama Jiang motioned for her to go down first, took the tortoiseshell needle and thread, and sat at the feet of the Empress Dowager Xu.
She said slowly: "Queen Mother, why did you mention the queen again?" Her Royal Highness hasn't slept yet, and she's going to be sad when she listens carefully. ”
Empress Dowager Xu said: "You don't have to comfort me. I'm measured. I'm just upset, Aman has been gone for so many years, there is no lord in this harem, in the end, it's a mess, it's not like words. ”
Mama Jiang owed, leaned in to the Empress Dowager Xu, and lowered her voice: "Empress Dowager, in the autumn of last year, didn't someone in the court advise the king to become the queen?" Why didn't you hear from me later? ”
Empress Dowager Xu glanced at Mama Jiang carelessly, and Mama Jiang immediately knew that she had trespassed, so she lowered her head to do needlework and stopped making a sound.
After a while, Empress Dowager Xu herself brought it up: "There is such a saying. It was boiling for a while, and it was quite fierce. Later, it was the king himself who said that he would not stand for the time being. There was another incident about the koi pond in Huaqing Palace, and this matter was put aside for the time being. ”
Mama Jiang laughed with her, but still didn't speak, and the needle and thread in her hand walked quickly.
Empress Dowager Xu snatched the needle and thread from her hand and threw it aside: "What are you afraid of?" Don't pretend to be cowardly with me here, I don't know you yet? ”
"Queen Mother, it's not appropriate for the maid to listen to such a big thing after the ceremony."
Empress Dowager Xu almost poked Mama Jiang's brain: "You know it's not suitable, you still ask?" ”
"I wish I could stand up quickly, and I'm better to live a quiet life."
Mama Jiang took back the needle and thread and slowly embroidered a bunch of grapes: "Does the Queen Mother have a favorite candidate in her heart?" ”
"The people of the Yu family pushed some old ministers and forced the king to stand behind Congyun. The king's temperament, holding on and not leaving, fighting backwards, the more the Yu family forced him, the more disgusted he became. Coupled with the fact that Ah Hao had an accident in Huaqing Palace, he had even more excuses not to stand on Congyun. ”
Empress Dowager Xu helped Mama Jiang divide the line in her hand and sighed: "If the Qian family is not dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, I think she is a good candidate." But this Qian family, I don't know what kind of magic is in it, and I don't have any contact with the people in my mother's family, and I don't know the people in the palace. Let her be in charge of palace affairs, and she will manage it honestly. If she is not allowed to take power, she will not fight. Such a person can't be a queen if he doesn't light fireworks. ”
"Moreover, with the old Empress Dowager Ouyang of the Qin State here, and the Qian family as the queen, this identity is not suitable."
Empress Dowager Xu shook her head, feeling very sorry for Mrs. Lanxiang.
Mama Jiang used small silver scissors to hinge the thread, stopped and helped Empress Dowager Xu think: "Among the four ladies, Mrs. Allure is not the king's will, and Mrs. Lanxiang is not suitable." Lady Moon Shadow is a native of Qin. Then there was only Lady Xianzi. However, Mrs. Xianzi came from a small family, and her family background was a little hindered. ”
Empress Dowager Xu said with a smile: "I also liked the Wang family the most at first, but it's a pity that she came out of a small portal, and she always acted with a little bit of a childish spirit." Let's look down at the bottom, Sun Zhaoyi is from a lowly background, Manqing has no sons, and her temperament is soft. Zheng Zhaoyuan has a suitable identity and family background, and she also has a son, but if you look at her words and actions, she looks like a shrew in the market. Mrs. Cuiwei is smart and magnificent, but Zheng Zhaoyuan has not learned what her aunt looks like at all. ”
Mama Jiang said with a smile: "Everyone has their own temperament, Zheng Zhaoyuan is pampered, and it is inevitable that she will be a little squeamish." The Queen Mother also missed a person who didn't say, so what about He Zhaorong? ”
Empress Dowager Xu pursed her lips and smiled: "I just want to tell you about this He Zhaorong." ”
She sat up straight, with a smile on her face, and put on a posture of wanting to have a long talk with Mama Jiang.
Mama Jiang also put the needle and thread in her hand into the small basket and listened attentively to the Empress Dowager Xu.
"Although this He Zhaorong is young, he has an excellent temperament. When you see people, you are smiling, sitting there quietly, not noisy, not fighting, not grabbing. You say she doesn't care about these mundane things at all, and she doesn't. When Yu Congyun was in charge of the harem, even the Qian family had suffered her losses, but this He Zhaorong was stunned that he didn't eat any losses, and Yu Congyun couldn't find her fault. ”
"Her family is not bad, her brother is Tingwei, and her sister-in-law is from a Hongzhou family, she is the daughter of a son, and her upbringing and knowledge are not bad. My sister married Zheng Zhaoyuan's brother Zheng Yan, and now she has been newly promoted to Dasi Nong, which is the hot time. He Zhaorong himself still has a son, and he is receiving holy grace, but he is too young. ”
Mama Jiang smiled: "Don't be afraid when you're young, the Queen Mother, you will take it for a few years, and He Zhaorong will be suitable for everything." ”
"I'd like to bring it, but who knows what the king thinks in his heart. This He Zhaorong is so good, in the king's heart, it is not as good as Ah Man. ”
Speaking of Sun Aman, Empress Dowager Xu became sad again: "I can't think about that child." When I think about it, I feel uncomfortable. ”
Mama Jiang hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad Queen Mother, hurt your body carefully." You still have to help the queen bring Her Royal Highness. ”
Empress Dowager Xu wiped the corners of her eyes: "Why didn't you see that monkey?" Where did it go? Is it another trouble? ”
