1257, Together
The Empress Dowager was invited, and in front of the emperor, whether it was sincere or false, Xu Shu could only come down, "The Empress Dowager is in love, and she should follow her orders, and she will often come to the Empress Dowager to say hello in the future!" ”
Xu Shu has always been very good in terms of title, unlike Zhou Jin, even if she is very estranged from the Empress Dowager, she can still call out "Imperial Grandmother", and her face is unbreakable, and Xu Shu has never called her aunt even to her nominal aunt, the Empress Dowager Chun'an.
The Empress Dowager didn't care much either, and said with a smile, "The mourning family remembers that you love shrimp, it just so happens that there is a cook here in the mourning family who makes shrimp dumplings very well, and there will be fresh river shrimp sent outside in a few days, and the queen must come to eat!" ”
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
"Go, it's not early, you still have to go to Kunning Palace!"
Out of Cining Palace, Zhou Jin said, "Although the Empress Dowager is mostly courting you to show me and pave the way for the Deng family, you can also take advantage of one or two, in terms of seniority in the harem, it is indeed the Empress Dowager who has the most qualifications and the most noble status, with her facing you, you will be much easier to act in the palace!" ”
What's more important is that the Empress Dowager Huixian can be crushed to death in terms of identity, and on some occasions, when Zhou Jin, as the son of man, cannot refute the Empress Dowager Huixian, the Empress Dowager needs to come forward, and it is absolutely advantageous for the Empress Dowager to face Xu Shu.
"Of course I know this, otherwise why would I have tried so hard to please her in my early years!" When Xu Shu was in the Xu family in her early years, it was indeed thanks to the favor of the Empress Dowager that her status in the Xu family was qualitatively improved.
"It seems that you have been smart since you were a child!" But it also means that he can't help himself since he was a child, and he has to suffer in order to survive since he was a child, and Zhou Jin feels even more distressed in his heart.
Xu Shu sighed, "No matter how smart you are, what's it like?" Although I am the queen in this palace and the mother of a country, I am only a name, and there are three big Buddhas on it, and the brides of ordinary people are no more than two mothers-in-law, unlike me, but there are three! ”
Xu Shu felt that she should be the most tragic queen in history, although she was the most noble woman in the world, but she was the lowest status person in the current palace.
"Taichang Palace doesn't dare to make a mistake, Cining Palace wants to be close to you for the Deng family, Kunning Palace and you are your own family, although it seems that they are not very comfortable, but they will not be embarrassed by you!"
"Yes! Although it sounds pitiful to me, the palace is the most decent, and everyone is safe! Xu Shu nodded, "Let's go, the Empress Dowager Chun'an is still waiting!" ”
Among the three elders, the last thing the emperor and his wife went to see was the Empress Dowager Chun'an, the widow of the first emperor, Zheng, Xu Shu often went to Kunning Palace, and the people serving in the palace were all familiar faces, and Xu Shu was also a little less restrained.
The Empress Dowager Chun'an is very satisfied with the current situation, Xu Shu is the queen, which means the victory of the Zheng family, her victory, with Xu Shu as a foil, the Empress Dowager Huixian is no longer her opponent, and the Fu family is no longer the opponent of the Zheng family.
The Empress Dowager Chun'an is the queen's aunt, and she is not the emperor's closest elder, and she has a weak relationship with the emperor, so she can't be an upright elder like the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Huixian to teach the two.
"The emperor has been sensible and talented since he was a child, and Da Yin can have such a king, and the mourning family is worthy of the first emperor! As the middle palace, the queen always puts the emperor first, shares worries and solves problems for the emperor, so as to live up to the emperor's trust in you! ”
"Yes, the concubine remembers the teachings of the Queen Mother!"
Empress Dowager Chun'an nodded, "The emperor was also tired from yesterday's wedding, and he came to pay his salute early this morning, it's really hard, go and rest, the mourning family has a few words to say to the queen!" ”
Zhou Jin looked at Xu Shu, Xu Shu nodded slightly, and Zhou Jin left with a smile, but left a sentence, "I will go to Qifeng Palace to accompany you for lunch!" ”
"Yes! Congratulations to the Emperor! Xu Shufu saluted and watched Zhou Jin leave.
Zhou Jin walked away, and the Empress Dowager Chun'an said with a smile, "It seems that the emperor loves you very much, and he specially wants to accompany you for lunch!" ”
Xu Shu lowered her head shyly, Zhou Jin said this in front of the Empress Dowager Chun'an, but she was worried that the Empress Dowager Chun'an would keep her for too long, and she only used a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the morning, afraid that she would be hungry.
Empress Dowager Chun'an said with satisfaction, "The emperor loves you the best, and now you are the only one in the emperor's harem, you have to take advantage of the opportunity!" ”
Sure enough, no matter who you go to, giving birth is indispensable, Xu Shu lowered her eyebrows and responded, "Yes!" ”
"Only with the prince can you be regarded as sitting firmly in this position, how much did the mourning family suffer in the hands of Concubine Shu because they had no children, and even the Zheng family has not been able to raise their heads, you must not follow in the footsteps of the mourning family!" When it comes to the days when she was pressed by Concubine Shu and couldn't hold her head up, the Empress Dowager Chun'an hated it deeply, it was the biggest shame in her life, and she will never forget it.
"Now that the mother is the queen mother, the concubine has long disappeared without a trace, and it is not worth remembering the queen mother!"
"Yes!" The Empress Dowager Chun'an raised her eyebrows and spat out a depressed sigh, "In the end, the mourning family won!" ”
But thinking that he couldn't give birth to a prince with all his efforts, and finally could only let the nephew of the first emperor ascend the throne, the Empress Dowager Chun'an still deeply regretted it, although she was also respected as the queen mother after the new emperor ascended the throne, but it was still too much worse than the queen mother of the emperor in Taichang Palace, otherwise she would not be the last one in the three palaces to salute today.
"Now the most important thing for you is to give birth to a prince as soon as possible to stabilize your position, as for other things, you don't have to worry about other things, the mourning family will help you! As long as we work together, no one else will be able to come out in this palace! ”
Although Zhou Jin took back the phoenix seal of the Empress Dowager Chun'an after appointing Xu Shu as the queen, the Empress Dowager Chun'an has been in charge of the harem for nearly 20 years, and her power in the harem is not trivial.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Empress Dowager Chun'an nodded, "Feng Shui takes turns, the Zheng family has been pressed by the Deng family and the Fu family for so many years, and it is the turn of our Zheng family to go ahead!" The Empress Dowager Chun'an suddenly lowered her voice again, "The royal heirs are thin, if you want to give birth to an heir as soon as possible, you have to use some extraordinary means, and the incense you made before is quite effective......"
The Empress Dowager Chun'an stopped at the point, but Xu Shu's heart was shocked, and she almost broke out in a cold sweat, but she didn't expect the Empress Dowager Chun'an to have such a thought, fortunately, she had already asked the Empress Dowager Chun'an to come back with the unused incense, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that the Empress Dowager Chun'an would not secretly use it on Zhou Jin, it would be really bad.
"What? Are you reluctant? ”
