1044, Mother of the Nation
The queen immediately said, "It's not early, since King Pingning is also drunk, let's be here today!" Tomorrow the prince will go to the temple to worship, today is really not too tired! Come on, send the prince back to his house to rest! Ladies and gentlemen, go home! ”
Empress Dowager Fu was directly put aside, looking at Xu Shu, who sat down calmly, her face was blue and red for a while, and she didn't slow down for a long time!
Zhou Jin was taken away, and the courtiers gradually dispersed in turn, and Concubine Zhen, who was sitting next to Concubine Wen, saw that no one mentioned her, she endured and endured, but she couldn't help but stand up, "Since the prince has gone back, the concubine has also retired!" ”
Empress Dowager Fu immediately frowned and looked over, "Where are you going?" ”
Concubine Zhen was stunned and said, "Go back...... Go back to Pingning Palace! ”
Empress Dowager Fu said coldly, "What are you going back to Pingning Palace?" Is that where you should be? ”
Concubine Zhen pouted slightly, "Where should the concubine stay?" ”
"You are the concubine of the first emperor, you should stay in the palace, for the time being, you will first wronged Concubine Wen, you live together!"
Concubine Wen hurriedly stood up, "Follow the instructions of the Queen Mother!" ”
"Tomorrow, Queen Lao will clean up another bedroom for Concubine Zhen, I think it is because the queen mother has been busy with affairs recently, and she forgot to arrange a bedroom for Concubine Zhen in advance!"
The queen said with a smile, "The queen mother is polite, the palace has not forgotten!" The palace arranged an extremely spacious and comfortable courtyard for Concubine Zhen in the Pingning Palace, and after reporting to the emperor, the emperor also agreed, and specially rewarded Sister Yi, who was responsible for this matter, and praised her for being thoughtful! ”
The queen mentioned that the emperor just didn't give the Empress Dowager Fu a chance to refute, and now the emperor's meaning is not what the queen means?
But the Empress Dowager Fu couldn't swallow this breath and insisted on not allowing it, "The first emperor passed away, and all the concubines in the harem kept the festival for the first emperor, either enter the nunnery to practice, or stay in the palace to worship the Buddha!" What is there about Concubine Zhen that is different from ordinary people? actually wants to leave the palace and live in the palace, is Concubine Zhen so anxious to enjoy herself and forget the favor of the first emperor? ”
Concubine Zhen couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, the first emperor really didn't have much grace for her, she was arranged by the queen mother to enter the palace, the first emperor looked at the face of the queen mother, the first emperor spoiled her a few times, she was also lucky, a few favors let her give birth to a son, although it was forcibly taken away, and then went to Rouran for more than ten years to endure all the hardships, and now it is finally bitter, finally see the dawn, she doesn't want to stay in the palace to be angry, the queen mother has always looked at her unpleasantly, and now she will not give her a good face, she wants to go to the palace to enjoy happiness, and all the ladies in the palace are flattering her!
Although this is the true thought of Concubine Zhen's heart, she can't say it, so she can only talk about him left and right, "The prince has just been drunk, and he is not familiar with everything in Beijing, so the concubine is ......not at ease."
"What do you have to worry about? The prince is drunk and has his own subordinates to take care of him, are you a doctor, or will you serve people? How can you help? The prince is not familiar with Beijing, are you familiar with it? Don't go to make trouble, even if it's okay, you can stay in the palace and chant the Buddha, it just so happens that Concubine Wen's poetry and books are the best, you and her can also cultivate yourself, in Rouran for more than ten years, your temperament is becoming more and more impetuous, you are all old people, and you don't know solemnity at all! ”
Empress Dowager Fu unceremoniously criticized Concubine Zhen for nothing, and the adults who left behind listened to it, and hurriedly lowered their ears and quickened their pace, secretly thinking that the disputes between the concubines in this palace and the quarrels with the wives and concubines at home are no different!
Concubine Zhen had nothing to refute, and secretly stomped her feet with resentment, in front of so many people, the Queen Mother would not show her mercy, if she carried someone behind her back, would she have to do it?
The queen chuckled and said, "The queen mother is serious!" Concubine Zhen is also a motherly heart, love the prince, although it can't help much, but today the prince of Pingning has only come back, everything in the house has not been clarified, the prince is drunk again, there can be no one in the house who can be the master, let the princess help the prince take care of all the things in the palace, and the prince can also save a lot of trouble! Moreover, the first emperor has passed away for many years, and Concubine Zhen has an heir, so she should live with her heirs! ”
Concubine Zhen was very happy when she heard this, "What the queen said is very true, now there can't be no one in the palace to call the shots, and the concubines are the prince's ......."
Empress Dowager Fu glanced at Concubine Zhen lightly, Concubine Zhen's unfinished words came to an abrupt end, and Empress Dowager Fu said to the queen, "Didn't the queen forget, the prince of Pingning was the first emperor to succeed the mourning family, he is the son of the mourning family, not the son of the concubine!" ”
The smile on the queen's face did not decrease, and she did not let go, "It is true that the prince is the son of the queen mother, but the prince is also the concubine Zhen after all, the prince has already opened the mansion, but he left his biological mother with the green light and yellow scroll with the ancient Buddha, which is really against filial piety, and it is not conducive to the reputation of the prince when it is passed out, and as far as I can see today, the prince is also an extremely benevolent and gentle person, and he will definitely not bear to leave his biological mother alone in the palace, even if the queen mother is for the sake of the prince, she should let the princess go to the palace to accompany the prince!" ”
The queen said that the head is the way, all the retreats of the Empress Dowager Fu have been blocked, and looking at the queen's posture today, she will not give up if she does not achieve her goal, if the Empress Dowager Fu still insists on not agreeing, maybe the queen will turn her head and invite a holy decree from the emperor, anyway, the emperor is now desperate for everyone to be sad, and he will definitely agree, at that time she is really losing face!
Empress Dowager Fu took a deep breath, "The queen is reasonable, but the mourning family is not thoughtful, since the queen has already arranged a residence for Concubine Zhen in the palace, then Concubine Zhen has to take care of the palace for the prince, don't let down the queen's good intentions!" ”
Keeping Concubine Zhen to block the Empress Dowager Fu, the breath in the queen's heart is finally smooth, and now she dares to be angry with her! She should let her know the bearing and rights of knowing the mother of a nation!
The queen, who has been going smoothly for too long, can't tolerate the rudeness of others to her.
"The Queen Mother is polite, this is all within the palace!" The queen smiled triumphantly.
Concubine Zhen was also very happy, "Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen Mother!" "Concubine Zhen put the queen in front and the queen mother in the back, and it is obvious who has more weight in Concubine Zhen's heart.
The queen said dangerously, "The prince has been away for a long time, so the concubine should hurry up!" The palace and the Empress Dowager have prepared some things for the concubine, and the concubine will take them back together! ”
Concubine Zhen thanked her happily, "Thank you for the reward of the Empress Dowager, thank you for the reward of the Empress Dowager, it is getting late today, so I will not disturb the Empress Dowager, and the concubine will go to thank you another day!" ”
The queen bowed her head, seeing that Xu Shu was still on the side, thinking that Mama Yuan was going to stay to finish the banquet, so she said to Xu Shu, "You send Concubine Zhen to Pingning Palace for the palace!" ”
