What is grandmother going to say to her alone?

Ah Luo thought in her heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said hello.

Concubine Mei is also in her fifties, her heart is seriously ill, and she is quite old now. She took Ah Luo's hand and frowned first: "The girl's hand is the most delicate, it should be fine and soft." Look at you, why is there a thin callus in the palm of your hand? ”

Ah Luo smiled disapprerovingly: "I read and practice the piano every day, and I also have to draw a bow and shoot arrows and ride a horse to practice martial arts, and it is not uncommon for my palms to have some thin calluses." ”

Concubine Mei snorted lightly, and her words showed dissatisfaction: "I really don't know what your father and queen mother think, let you work so hard." You are the most noble princess of Daqi, you don't do anything, and you are also honored and rich for a lifetime. Why bother you so much? ”

"In my opinion, girls should still look like girls. It's too strong and competitive, and it's not fun. ”

In the words, there is obviously an insinuation that Xie Mingxi is very difficult.

Ah Luo resisted the urge to refute, and said patiently: "My father and queen mother taught me carefully, and I also hope that I will be better than my peers. It is my blessing to be born in heaven. I also hope that my father, queen and mother will be proud of me. ”

Concubine Mei said, "Grandmother is also looking forward to your well." However, you also listen to your grandmother. No matter how strong a woman is, she can't be stronger than a man. It's not a good thing to pinch too much. ”

"You are thirteen years old this year, and in a few years, you will also be at the age of opening a palace to recruit horses. In the future, pick a good colt and live a good life. You are the princess of the heavenly family, and the concubine can only please and welcome you, and will definitely not let you be angry and wronged. ”

Check it out! The gap is not ordinary.

Concubine Mei said this, Ah Luo really couldn't listen to it, and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly in response: "Grandmother, I am still young, I haven't thought about this." ”

Concubine Mei thought that the girl's family was ashamed, and laughed: "Men should get married, women should marry, it's all a matter of course, what's there to be ashamed of." ”

Arlo: "......"

Ah Luo rolled her eyes in her heart, silently reminding herself that this is your grandmother. A few words, don't take it to heart, just bear with it.

Then, I listened to Concubine Mei continue: "Eh, you are also older, there are some things that don't need to be hidden from you, you should also know a thing or two." ”

"Your mother has never been able to give birth to a prince, and the ministers in the court have played one after another, but your father and the emperor have eaten the scales and have an iron heart, so they don't pay attention to it."

"I'm old, I'm useless, and no one listens to what I say. In the future, I won't worry about these things. Right now, I'm only worried about you. ”

"Brother Ji, several of them grew up with you in the palace, and their relationship is not bad. No matter which one your father chooses to succeed the prince, you will treat each other as if you were a brother. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and no matter who sits on the dragon chair in the future, they will have to think of your goodness. I will be your backer......"

Ah Luo responded silently in her heart.

You don't have to worry about such trivial things, grandmother.

The father and queen mother did not plan to succeed, and they wanted to establish a prince, and I was the only candidate.

……

In the evening, when the mother and daughter were alone, Ah Luo said the matter angrily: "...... It's really my own grandmother! From beginning to end, she was 'painstaking' and 'for my sake', and I am so patient now, otherwise I would have been unable to resist her. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "What she says, you just listen to it, you don't have to go to your heart." ”

"There are such women in the world who are willing to be inferior to men. And thought that all women should be like that. At home from the father, in marriage from the husband, and after the death of the husband from the son. Of course, it is good to be outstanding, but it should not be too outstanding, and it should not be so good that it overwhelms men. ”

"In your grandmother's eyes, I was the kind of outlier who was too powerful and difficult to overwhelm men."

"It's a pity that your grandmother was weak and mediocre, and I firmly suppressed her. Your father is also devoted to me. Your grandmother was dissatisfied with me, and she was helpless. ”

It's not that Concubine Mei doesn't want to find trouble with her daughter-in-law, but she really doesn't have that ability.

Xie Mingxi tolerated it for two years, and with one move, he cleaned up Concubine Mei honestly, and only dared to complain behind her back.

Ah Luo still felt depressed: "I was really annoyed to hear what my grandmother said. ”

"Mother, how long will I have to wait before I can confidently refute my grandmother and say that I can rely on no one and rely on myself?"

There were two vigorous flames burning in Ah Luo's eyes, and a beautiful face seemed to be about to burst into flames.

Xie Mingxi smiled dumbly and stroked A Luo's soft and smooth cheeks: "Don't be in a hurry, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step." ”

"It's a good start. At the very least, the courtiers already know that your father has no intention of taking a concubine. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer such twists and turns......"

Ah Luo's eyes lit up.

Xie Mingxi smiled and said slowly: "Instead, it should be the choice of a nephew." ”

Arlo: "......"

Ah Luo exhaled a long breath, and her eyes returned to clarity: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I have already been mentally prepared." I'll be patient and wait. ”

"I won't talk to anyone about it until it's done."

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed with relief, and he said slowly: "This day will not be too long. ”

……

Three months later, Zhou Yong quelled the civil unrest in Jindi and returned victorious.

Zhou Yong made great achievements, and the Son of Heaven had his own reward.

The Great Qi army is strong, only the Praetorian Guard and the Divine Guard in the capital have more than 100,000, and then there are tens of thousands of Shu soldiers and 100,000 border troops known for their elite soldiers, and there are garrisons in various places, with a total strength of about 400,000.

After ten years of painstaking operation, Shenghong has brought most of the troops of Daqi under control.

Wenchen governed the country, and the military generals settled the country.

As the Son of Heaven, controlling the forces is the most important thing.

To put it mildly, no matter how hard the ministers jumped, they only had one mouth. If the generals have different intentions, the dragon chair will not be so stable.

The courtiers' repeated twists and turns were always ineffective, Concubine Mei stopped, and no one in the harem dared to block Xie Mingxi. No matter how stupid and dull a person is, he knows that he can't compete with the emperor and queen. I had to take a break from this heart for a while.

Anyway, this Great Qi is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven himself is not in a hurry, no matter how anxious they are, it is useless. The Son of Heaven is in his prime, and it is not too late to talk about the matter of establishing a reserve in the future.

Although the Son of Heaven has no prince, fortunately, he has quite a lot of nephews. From the elder Brother Ji to the younger Brother Yun, there are four of them! And all of them are outstanding. It depends on which one the emperor and queen will choose.

In the blink of an eye, it's a new year.

At the first court meeting in the eleventh year of Jianye, the Son of Heaven suddenly issued a holy decree. From now on, there is a new law in Daqi that allows women to set up a female household.

As expected, this holy decree caused fierce opposition among the courtiers.
