After Zheng Wanli entered the Qingwang Mansion, the queen summoned Xu Shu again, and Mrs. Zheng Si was very worried, but she couldn't resist the queen's order, so she sent Xu Shu into the palace with thousands of instructions.

Probably not supported by the obsession with the prince, and lost motivation, the queen's mother became more and more old, and people seemed to be tired a lot, and even the white hair on the sideburns was not disguised and covered at all, but the mental state was not bad, and it seemed to have eased up, except for laziness, there was no previous madness.

"You're here!" The queen pointed to the position beside her, and motioned for Xu Shu to sit down and speak, "Since the emperor opened such a mouth last time, this palace will not dare to call you into the palace to talk again, for fear that the emperor will change his mind again, and still think about you, lest it will affect you, and now that Sister Li has entered the Qingwang Mansion, the dust has settled, and the palace dares to summon you again!" ”

Without the possibility of giving birth and losing the possibility of having a prince, the queen will lose her value in the eyes of the emperor, and abandoning it is just the emperor's attitude towards the queen now! Now the queen's state seems to have returned to the time when Concubine Shu was covering the sky in the harem, dormant and cautious, for fear that her slightest move would bring consequences beyond her control, so she was cautious and would rather not move than act rashly without being sure.

"How is the mother?" Xu Shu glanced at the low stool at the queen's feet and there was an embroidered frame, looking like that, it seemed to be a child's belly pocket, it seemed that the queen was going to make clothes for the little princess by herself, and now the queen's sustenance was only the princess.

The queen smiled lonely, looking at the courtyard outside the window, the courtyard is deep, in the spring season, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are full of vibrant greenery, which is in stark contrast to the lifelessness in the house, "Do you see that this Kunning Palace is still popular?" It's deserted, and even a bird and butterfly don't come, do you think this palace is good? ”

"Mother's ......"

The queen withdrew her gaze, "There's nothing wrong with that!" It's not the first day that this palace has experienced such a day, it has been more than ten years like this, day after day, watching the leaves in this courtyard green, the flowers blooming, the flowers falling, the leaves are yellow, the snow falls to the ground, and it turns into a puddle of water and flows away, the palace has become accustomed to it, and it should continue to get used to it, and the habit of continuing to be lonely like this day after day......"

But what is afraid in this world is not that you have never had it, but that you have it and then you have lost it, and this loss is forever, and you can never get it again! Such a gap and cognition, even if the queen is accustomed to honor and disgrace and has experienced variables, there is no way to accept it calmly, but if she doesn't accept it, she has to accept it, and she can only cover her true state of mind with greater mental strength.

"Besides, there is still a princess in this palace!" The queen smiled and glanced at the embroidery sample on the side, "In the past, the palace was so focused on seeking the prince that it ignored the princess, and I didn't even notice that the princess could walk, and I didn't even know that the princess would be called 'Queen Mother'!" ”

"Why don't you see the princess today?" In the past, when Xu Shu entered the palace, he would hear the sound of children playing in the side hall every time, but he didn't hear it today.

"Today, the Empress Dowager is having a banquet in Cining Palace, King Qing is not allowed to enter the palace, and the Empress Dowager wants the princess to go, so the nurse leads the princess to go!" Although the Deng family and the Zheng family are not harmonious, and the empress dowager and the queen are not very harmonious, the princess is also the emperor's blood after all, and the empress dowager will still love the princess a little.

"The Empress Dowager has a guest today!" Xu Shu remembered the carriage she saw at the gate of the palace when she entered the palace today, just like what Mrs. Zheng saw that day, it seems that what Deng Yarong said is true, the Huang family really offended the Deng family, so the Queen Mother wants to support others.

"Yes! There are guests! The world only sees the glory and wealth given in this deep palace, but they can't see the deep and strict palace walls, and how many women's youth have been buried, so there are still people who sharpen their heads and drill into it! The queen smiled half sarcastically, half helplessly, "By the way, what do you think of the incense in the house today?" ”

"It's familiar!" Xu Shu said with a smile, she is too familiar with this fragrance, this is the incense that Zheng Wanli took from her a few days ago, thinking that Zheng Wanli really gave it to the queen in her own name, and the queen obviously recognized it, so she used it with confidence.

"The Qingwang Mansion sent it to me, and it was said that it was made by Concubine Zheng herself! The box is exquisitely carved from the finest rosewood, and has more gemstone beads embedded in it than you would ever do in a whole set of heads! ”

The queen snorted contemptuously, "As soon as the palace opened the box, I found that the incense inside was a world of difference from the last time, and when I sniffed it again, I could smell it as your craft!" "Incense making pays attention to calmness, Zheng Wanli is anxious for quick success, and if she can't calm down, she naturally can't make good incense.

"It's also a shame that she still has some self-knowledge, she didn't send it over in person, and in front of this palace, she is embarrassed to talk nonsense with blue mouths and white teeth!"

"That's the crime of bullying the king, how dare Concubine Zheng?"

"Bengong doesn't like that child very much, she is scheming, but she is not decent, but the future of the Zheng family is now pinned on her!" The queen only felt extremely ironic, the irony was not that the future of the Zheng family now fell on Zheng Wanli, but that it was obviously the existence of King Qing that made the Zheng family always subordinate to the Deng family, but now the Zheng family had to rely on King Qing, and there was no choice.

The Zheng family has no choice, and the queen has no choice, knowing that the emperor is for King Qing, so he wants the daughter of the Zheng family to commit herself to King Qing as a concubine, but it is undeniable that the Zheng family has no choice but to choose to rely on King Qing, not only does the Zheng family have no choice, no one has to choose, the emperor will be a prince of King Qing, in time, everything will be King Qing's, rather than being forced to choose when the dust settles, it is better to take the lead in front of others.

"The change of imperial power, how many families have declined, how many people have soared again, if the Zheng family wants not to be replaced by other people, the only way to comply with the will of heaven is to obey the will of heaven! What is providence? The emperor's will is the will of heaven! ”

The queen took a deep breath, "This palace has thought a lot these days, it is probably the destiny of heaven that this palace can't have a prince, this palace doesn't want to act against the sky, since it is fate, then this palace has to see who can have the last laugh!" ”

"It's great that the mother can think of it!" Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, the queen's hope was given by her, and the disappointment was also given by her, the queen could see it, and she felt less guilty.

"Now that I've seen it, this palace is also going to do something for the Zheng family and for this palace itself!" The queen flicked her skirt and stood up, "Spring is good, you accompany the palace to the imperial garden for a walk!" ”()
