Chapter 155: From the Beginning
The queen ignored Lan Zhu's words, sat quietly in front of the dresser and looked at the bronze mirror in front of her, casually combed the hair that fell from her ears, and asked lightly: "Lan Zhu, do you say that this palace is beautiful?" ”
When Lan Zhu heard this, he came to the queen's side, glanced at the face in the bronze mirror, and replied sincerely: "The queen's mother is naturally the most beautiful in the world." ”
The movement in the queen's hand suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand to stroke her face and said with a wry smile: "The palace is already old, old and decrepit, and it can't compare to those young ladies." ”
Lan Zhu stepped forward to take the comb from the queen's hand and slowly combed her hair: "Niangniang, look at what kind of foolish words you are talking about, all the women in the world, which one is not very envious of you, why do you want to be angry with such cheap hooves." ”
Presumably, the queen must have said such things because she was angry with Tang Jingwen's cheap hoof. Where have I ever heard the queen mother say such a thing on weekdays, it's all some kind of bad stuff.
You must know that even if the bronze mirror only shows a blurred face, you can clearly see how amazing the people inside are. can become the master of the entire harem and ascend to the throne of the queen, how can there be a simple person.
Simple people have long been skinned by others, where can they be so stable
The queen did not comment on Lan Zhu's words, and changed the topic and asked, "How are things handled outside?" ”
Lan Zhu thought about the situation that had just been reported, and said, "Now many people, although they don't dare to say anything because of the majesty of the royal family, there are still a lot of people who are talking quietly behind their backs. Even the palace was full of discussions, and outside the palace ...... "She didn't finish her words, but she knew that the queen mother should understand what she meant."
She inserted the last hairpin into the queen's hair, and then carefully arranged the queen's other hairpins.
The queen stared at the bronze mirror quietly, looking at the woman whose face was like frost and seemed to be very familiar and somewhat strange, her young and beautiful face was gone, probably because her heart affected her face, and it became deeper and deeper.
"This time it's really cheap Prince Gong's mansion Xiaojun Wang Xie Tianrui, if it weren't for Tang Jingwen, a slut, who would have been more than successful and more than defeated, and did such an unobtrusive thing, he actually made the palace and the third prince become the laughing stock of the entire capital." The queen sneered: "Tang Jingwen, a slut, doesn't even take the palace in his eyes at all. ”
In fact, I don't know why, the queen always feels that there is another secret in this matter, maybe there is a shadow of Prince Gong's mansion in it. It's just that she doesn't have any evidence to prove it, she just has a gut feeling that there's something wrong with it.
Lan Zhu didn't make a sound, and she didn't know how to speak at this moment. Some words come to the lips but suddenly feel that it is not appropriate to say them, and it may even make the master unhappy.
You must know that this matter was told by the queen that she went to monitor Tang Jingwen, but because the supervision was not in place, Tang Jingwen was actually allowed to do such a wrong thing.
This time, the queen mother did not pursue her mistakes, which was already extraordinarily gracious, and if she didn't run into it with long eyes, it would be inappropriate.
Uphold the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and saying less and making fewer mistakes. Lan Zhu didn't say anything more, and directly put makeup on the queen.
The queen watched her perfect self slowly appear in the mirror again, her expression finally eased, and she simply stood up and went to the table where the snacks were placed.
She sat down, took a piece of pastry and tasted it, chewed it slowly, and asked, "Did those people sent to Prince Gong's Mansion send back any news?" ”
Lan Zhu stepped forward and told the queen of the news he had heard, and then said, "Niangniang, what do you think their purpose is?" ”
In fact, Lan Zhu didn't think there was anything in it, almost every month the news came back from the same news, and there were not too many changes, which made Lan Zhu a little suspicious of whether the news was true.
It's just that the queen didn't say anything, and Lan Zhu didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The queen glanced at Lan Zhu beside her with a smile, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Lan Zhu shook his head honestly and said, "If you go back to Niangniang, the slave doesn't know. ”
The queen sneered, and then said coldly: "Back then, the palace should have gotten rid of Prince Gong's Mansion in time, and they would not let them always provoke the palace at this time." ”
What happened back then......
Saying that, Lan Zhu couldn't help but think back to that time, and it was from that time that she knew that the master she was serving could be so ruthless.
Before the current queen, the emperor also had a queen, who was also the biological mother of the eldest prince. Back then, the emperor held the former queen in the palm of his hand and regarded it as a jewel.
Because of the emperor's love, before the first queen was pregnant, no one could conceive the emperor's child. Just because the emperor can't accept anyone to have a child than Mr. Queen, whether it is the eldest son or the eldest daughter, the emperor thinks that it must come out of the queen's belly.
The first queen has never been pregnant because of the cold womb, and everyone in the court admonished her, but the emperor ignored it at all. Later, the first queen finally recuperated and became pregnant, and she is now the eldest prince.
It's just that when the queen gave birth, the queen moved her hands and feet, resulting in heavy bleeding and dystocia. It's just that the queen didn't expect that from then on, the first queen would become the white moonlight in the emperor's heart, an existence that no one could touch.
In fact, the queen is also stupid, as long as she has enough patience, she can consume the weight of the first queen in the emperor's mind little by little. But as the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, how can a living person fight the dead one.
"It's been so long, and the emperor still thinks about that slut, and he fell in love with this palace because of this similar face!" Speaking of this, the queen obviously raised her voice, and said in a resentful tone: "That slut has been dead for so many years, why can't the emperor forget her even now!" ”
As long as she thought of everything that had happened, she wanted to kill everyone who had been involved in the former queen. She and the former queen originally entered the palace to serve the emperor in the same batch, why was that slut able to get the emperor's blue eyes, so that he could rise to the top and easily get the emperor's favor?
And the happiness she got was just the occasional charity of the slut. I think at the beginning, she believed in that slut so much, but what happened?
She still can't forget that night, her "good sister" came to her with the emperor in her arms, and said with a happy face: "Sister, my sister is pregnant." ”
The emperor looked at the slut with joy, and the sweet atmosphere between the two had no room for her to intervene at all. Let her clearly understand that she is so redundant and how loving the two are.
Witnessing all this, she was envious and jealous, looking at her flat belly, and even longing that she could add a dragon to the emperor. Why? That slut has already got it all, but he still comes to her as a victor and mocks her like this!
What did she do at the time? By the way, she secretly clenched her hands, but her face still showed a very happy congratulations: "Really? That sister is really congratulating my sister. "Huh......
The memories of the long ago still came back to my mind clearly, and then my thoughts were pulled back in an instant.
The queen didn't know if she was continuing to tell Lan Zhu, or if she was just telling herself.
"Finally, the first queen is about to give birth, and at that time, the palace was still thinking viciously, how good would it be if the first queen gave birth to a princess? In this way, the palace will have a chance to give birth to the eldest son for the emperor. ”
In fact, what the queen wanted at the beginning was just to have a child of her own, at least in the deep palace, it would not be too lonely. After all, there is no woman loved by the emperor, and being in this deep palace day after day is really not an ordinary desertion.
People outside the palace wanted to come in, but people in the palace could only look up at the sky above their heads. No more, and there will be none.
If you want to say that the queen has ever regretted entering the palace back then? I'll regret it. But what's the use of regretting? She's always the one who doesn't have a choice, isn't she?
Lan Zhu sighed helplessly in her heart, the queen mother's heart probably changed completely from that moment.
In fact, in this palace, there are too many people like the queen mother. No matter how kind a person is, without the protection of the emperor, in order to survive, he has to change himself.
If Tang Yining knew what they thought, he would probably say that this is the future life, and if he can't change the world, he will change himself.
The poor will have something to hate, and the hateful will have pity. Reality always makes people, but it has to rise and fall during the period. World
"Niangniang, it's late at night, let's rest early." Lan Zhu was afraid that the queen would bring up the past again, and then feel sad about it.
"Heh......" The queen sneered and glanced at Lan Zhu: "Lan Zhu, do you also think that this palace is indifferent and cruel?" After all, as you know, there are a lot of lives in the hands of this palace over the years. ”
"No, how could a slave have such an idea. The slave maid believes that if the mother does this, there must be a reason why you must do it. The slave doesn't read much, but she also knows that the fittest survive. ”
Lan Zhu put herself in her shoes, maybe she would do the same thing as the queen mother in her position, right? After all, it's more appealing than anything else to live.
The palace is a place of cannibalism, if you show mercy to others, you may appear in a mass grave tomorrow, and your soul will return to heaven and earth.
"Hehe, Lanzhu, your mouth is still so sweet, you don't read much, and you still talk a set. Reason? Reason? That's for sure. It's just that whose truth is this, it depends on the palace. ”
