214. Nominal Husband and Wife (2)

Chasing books must suddenly be so happy that he couldn't speak, his rival Hua Guifei has fallen out of favor, and she has lost all her competitiveness all day long, and her new opponent Lan Cairen has also returned to the West Heaven, could it be that the emperor's husband began to think about the relationship?

At this time, she planted her eyes and ears in the Qilong Palace to report, saying that the prince had just gone to the Qilong Palace to personally offer advice to the emperor, and was greatly appreciated by the emperor, and even praised the prince for his success.

Only then did Empress Gui understand that the emperor just saw that his son was promising, and only then did he think of his wife who had worked hard to raise his son, not that she remembered any affection, and couldn't help but sigh softly, is his heart so elusive?

However, he was soon relieved that in this deep palace, compared to the emperor's husband and wife, the son who could sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince was more reliable. Mother and son are connected, and giving birth to a son raised by herself is her most solid support, and with this son, her status can not be shaken.

The emperor will pass him on, more about his son, seeing that his sister-in-law is so promising, even if he has no affection for her, he should have some respect and gratitude, which is enough, this is enough to make her status unrivaled among the concubines in the harem.

After Empress Gui figured it out, she calmly looked at the near-perfect makeup and clothing in the mirror, and went to the Dragon Hall with a dignified and generous demeanor as usual.

Emperor Wangdi saw his nominal wife walking in with an incomparably perfect appearance and demeanor, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The queen doesn't need to be polite, please come here today to discuss important matters!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, leaving only Gonggong Zheng to wait. Only then did he put on his robe and made a deep bow to the queen, and Queen Gui was so frightened that she hurriedly bowed down: "What is the emperor doing?" borrowed a hundred concubines to dare not accept the emperor's courtesy! ”

Emperor Wang helped her up and pressed her to her seat for the first time in many years: "I am busy with official and family affairs every day, thanks to the queen's virtuous and capable work, I am filial to my mother, manage the harem, and raise children, I am not a cold-blooded person, how can I not miss the queen's good?" It's just that I am the true dragon son in my name, in fact, I am just a mortal when I take off the dragon robe, and I also have my own helplessness and involuntary self-determination, if there is anything I can't do over the years, please bear with the queen! ”

Empress Gui burst into tears. He took off the dragon robe just an ordinary person, and when he took off the phoenix crown himself, he was not just an ordinary woman who longed to be loved by her husband? has been neglected for so many years, how can I not feel aggrieved or sad in my heart, how can it be eliminated with a lot of tolerance?

However, she is a smart person, she knows what she wants, and she has already understood that the emperor has no respect or love for her, and she is more grateful and relied on than the love of husband and wife.

She shed a little tears just right, and quickly wiped them away: "Although the concubine is the queen of a country, she is the wife of the emperor, what you said is what the concubine should do, husband and child, but it is just a woman's duty, don't dare to accept the emperor's gift!" ”

Emperor Wangdi looked at her and opened his mouth to tell the truth, but he still held back, and one day he had to say it. Not now.

"In any case, the queen has taken great pains to raise the prince so young and intelligent, and I can't help but be grateful. In this way, your father has only enjoyed the treatment of the prince for many years, and your mother is only the second lady, and I have specially allowed him to enjoy the treatment of the prince today, and your mother has been named the first lady. ”

Empress Gui hurriedly made a statement of gratitude, in fact, her heart was unwilling, this pair of dog men and women, killed her mother, but still relied on her merits to enjoy love, glory and wealth, how could she let them get their wish?

However, she understands that no matter how unwilling she is, without this mother's family with an extraordinary background, she has no status in the palace and the court, and her son's position as the crown prince is not stable. Soon, she thought of an idea, and quickly knelt down to thank her: "Concubine thank the emperor for his grace!" However, the concubine's mother has long since died, so she can only be posthumously sealed. ”

Emperor Wang was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood her thoughts, but still said very understandingly: "I ignored it, so let's do it, your father's treatment will remain the same, and your mother will posthumously crown the Lady of Wei." ”

Empress Gui breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to thank her, and this really came according to her heart. If you want to say how much she hates her biological father, that's not, what she really hates is just that cheap woman with a clear conscience, so Jin Feng couldn't be better. Let her know. She can never be compared with her own mother, and in the next hundred years, she will only be her own mother in the same cave with her father, and she only deserves to be buried in the tomb with the shameful house slave from afar.

When I was grateful, I was also a little suspicious, the emperor used to be the most impatient with the trivial matters of wives and concubines competing for favor in these big families, why is he so understanding today? Is it true that the emperor has something to make him grateful, or is there another reason?

While thinking about it, Emperor Wangdi invited her to sit and drink tea together, and then he said the real purpose: "The emperor came today, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he has grown into an adult, smart and insightful, and open-minded, which makes me feel extremely comforted, I thought, what kind of woman do you have to find such a beautiful child to be worthy?" He is already twelve years old, and he can get married after fifteen, and if he sets it early, he can also send someone to teach the woman the rules of etiquette and palace in advance. ”

Queen Gui didn't expect that her husband would not only reward her family today, but also care so much about her son's lifelong affairs, and said happily: "The concubine thanked the emperor for his concern, and there are many celebrities and beauties in my dynasty who are qualified to match the emperor, I don't know if the emperor has a suitable candidate in his heart?" ”

Emperor Wangdi shook his head with a smile: "I am not familiar with the beauties in Beijing, so I should teach the queen to choose this matter." ”

After speaking, Zhengse said: "The emperor is the prince of my dynasty." This country and society will be his in the future, only a woman with good birth and good looks, and really smart and virtuous is his good match, she is the same as the queen, she will be the mother of the world in the future, and she must not be chosen casually. I believe that you will definitely choose the most suitable woman for him to be his wife, but one thing to keep in mind is that although the family background is good, you must not be too powerful, in case the imperial power is lost, do you understand what I mean? ”

Empress Gui wanted to calm down again. I couldn't stop my tears, remembering that Emperor Wangdi invited several famous teachers to teach his son strictly, and took him to teach him personally every day, so that he could be educated in practice since he was a child, and learn how to deal with the government from his ears and eyes, although it is not as gentle and meticulous as a mother, but this mind is not worse than her, and now he is also very particular about his family affairs, and everything he does is for the good of the emperor, so doesn't it mean that the son's position as the prince is extremely firm? In the future, she will be the most powerful and respected queen mother in the world? If this is the case, it is not a loss that he has only been his nominal wife for many years.

At the same time, I also have some doubts in my heart, why does the emperor's words sound like an explanation of the future? But what she is most happy at this time is, how can she think about a small doubt: "The concubine thanks the emperor's grace, after going down, she will carefully select a good woman for the emperor, and she will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!" ”

Emperor Wangdi helped her up, Queen Gui stood up, now it's almost dinner time, the Qilong Palace is the exclusive bedroom of the emperor, will Emperor Wangdi leave her for dinner and then stay in the Qilong Palace because of today's events?

She looked at Emperor Wangdi eagerly, but Emperor Wangdi coughed lightly, and said with a blind look: "I still have some folds to review, and the court will reply tomorrow morning, I am gone, and the queen will go down and make good arrangements for the emperor to choose a concubine." ”

After saying that, she went to the imperial study as if she was running away, and Queen Gui sighed, and finally stopped holding out any hope. Fortunately, now the women of the entire harem have fallen out of favor, she still has status and respect, what do others have? Let's be content.

Soon drove back to the palace, choosing a concubine for the emperor is not an ordinary trivial matter, she has to go back and plan carefully.
