Chapter 67: Each Has His Own Mind
The chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the weather is gradually getting cooler.
The queen mother and the concubines in the palace asked the people from the bureau to prepare the seasonal clothes in each palace in advance and send them over.
There are also some good furs, in addition to the little princes and princesses, the queen gave the rest to Concubine Shu and Concubine Li, these two pregnant concubines.
The emperor was very pleased with the queen's arrangement, and praised the queen's mother, saying that the queen's arrangement was very thoughtful.
But there was a commotion in the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Queen Mother had a big temper.
"This queen is really getting more and more ignorant of etiquette. As the queen mother of a country, if there are any good things in the palace, whether it is the emperor or the queen, they should first honor the mourning family. ”
"Whether the mourning family accepts it or not, and who the mourning family rewards is up to the mourning family. Now she is good, and she just made her own decision and refused to give it. This emperor is also becoming more and more a bastard, and he actually praises the queen and does a very thoughtful job, which is not taking the mourning family in his eyes at all! ”
The Queen Mother was very angry, but she couldn't stop coughing, and then hurriedly ordered with a disgusted face, "Hurry up and move these furs down, these furs are all inferior goods, and the taste is too pungent." The mourners can see that those hairs are flying in the air? ”
The aunt in charge hurriedly instructed the palace maid to move the fur down, and then comforted the queen mother and said, "The queen mother, don't say these words in the future." This is in the palace. ”
"Yes! In the palace, the emperor is the master of the palace. The emperor's words are holy decrees. Mourning home now! It's that no one cares about it anymore. ”
The Queen Mother said in a weird manner, very dissatisfied.
And at this time, the palace maid went back and forth, saying that the seventh prince was coming.
The Queen Mother's face immediately changed, and her smile bloomed, "Quick, please invite the Seventh Prince to come in and speak." ”
The Seventh Prince has already walked in, "Queen Mother." ”
"Come on, talk to the mourners."
The Seventh Prince walked over and sat beside the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so ugly? ”
"It's not because..."The Queen Mother said angrily, but before she finished speaking, she coughed.
The seventh prince hurriedly gave the queen mother a breath and patted her back. "Finally, what's wrong with you?"
The Queen Mother coughed for a long time, and after drinking a cup of tea and moistening her throat, she was finally able to speak smoothly, "It's not because of the fur sent by the queen." In previous years, those good furs were selected by the mourning family before they were given to the concubines of the palace. But what the queen sent over this year were all inferior furs. ”
"Since the mourning family became the queen mother, no one has dared to send such inferior fur to the mourning family?"
The Seventh Prince's face sank, but he still comforted, "Queen Mother, the queen mother needs to take care of the second prince now, Xu is too busy, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence in doing things." Don't be angry. ”
"If the queen mother doesn't like these furs, she can give them directly to her subordinates. The son was looking for some good fur for his mother. ”
When the seventh prince said this, the Queen Mother was moved. "My son! Now the mourning family knows the benefits of this biological son. ”
The Queen Mother said this, but the Seventh Prince's face changed. "Queen Mother, don't say that you are not biological in the future."
The Queen Mother nodded disapprerovingly, "I know, I just said such things in front of you." ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't take his words to heart at all, the Seventh Prince was powerless to say anything more.
And the Queen Mother whispered to the Seventh Prince, "Your princess is about to give birth, right?" When the time comes, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will go to the palace to congratulate. And this is a good opportunity for you to make friends with your ministers! ”
The Queen Mother said this, but the Seventh Prince was annoyed.
"Queen Mother, don't mention such things in the future, do you think the imperial brother is a fool? Our every move, the imperial brother watched it in his eyes. Because of what happened last time, the royal brother doesn't trust me anymore. And what the royal brother hates the most on weekdays is that officials form parties in private. If I go to make friends with officials again, the royal brother will be even more jealous of me. ”
"Silly boy, the mourning family deliberately let you do this because they knew that the emperor was worried about you because of what happened last time. The mourning family is leaving you a way back! As long as you can get the support of half of the officials in the court, the emperor will not dare to touch you easily. ”
What the Queen Mother said is reasonable, and she is very considerate of her son.
The Seventh Prince lost his temper. "After the queen mother, don't say such things again. The son wouldn't do that. Because my son knows that if he does this, the royal brother will only be more jealous of me. ”
"The queen mother should not do such a thing for her son in the future. Do you think the royal brother doesn't know what the queen mother did? ”
"If it weren't for the acquiescence of the royal brother, how could the queen mother only send some inferior fur to the queen mother?"
"Your Majesty, he did this to remind the queen mother?"
The Seventh Prince analyzed it like this, and the Queen Mother was shocked when she heard it.
In the end, the Queen Mother still compromised, and said very aggrievedly, "Okay, the mourning family listens to you." ”
The Seventh Prince persuaded him with kind words again, "Queen Mother, Brother Huang, he is not a ruthless and unrighteous person. The queen mother raised the royal brother to grow up, and supported him to sit on the throne, the royal brother will not fail to remember the kindness of the queen mother. It's just that the queen mother will continue to toss, but I'm afraid that this kindness will be worn away sooner or later. ”
"O Queen Mother! Let's stop challenging Brother Huang's patience. As long as we are safe, the royal brother will definitely treat us leniently, and we will be safe with each other, isn't it good? ”
These seven princes are the backbone of the queen mother, since the seventh prince said so, the queen mother naturally didn't say anything more.
can only burst into laughter, "Okay, the mourning family doesn't want anything, and doesn't care about anything." The mourning family just waited, and the seventh princess gave birth to a son and a half daughter to the mourning family, and the mourning family lived a happy life with a grandson. ”
Only then did the Seventh Prince smile reassuringly, "If the queen mother can think like this, the son will be relieved." ”
"Alright, alright, you can rest assured! The mourning family is not stupid, and he will not do something out of the ordinary to make the emperor unhappy. ”
"The most important thing is now! It is to take good care of the seven princesses, and wait for the seven princesses to give birth to the little princess safely and smoothly, which is the most important thing. Those powers, the mourning family really doesn't care? ”
"By the way, I heard that the wife of the prince of Yongchang Houfu is a month later than your princess when she is pregnant. Your princess is about to give birth, and the Yongchang Houfu should be soon, right? ”
"Yes! The queen mother remembers it so clearly. Now the old man of Yongchang Houfu! But what about Mrs. Shizi, who is more important than Gu Shizi? I'm afraid that Mrs. Shizi will knock and bump again. Is it more concerned than Gu Beicheng, who is about to become a father? ”
The Queen Mother laughed, "It's really rare, this old marquis of the Gu family, he is old, and he still has to worry about the affairs of his children and grandchildren so much." ”
"But it's weird." The Queen Mother was puzzled again.
"This old man of the Gu family doesn't seem to be a person who values his children and grandchildren so much? Even if you value it, you won't be so nervous, right? When Gu Beicheng was born, he didn't attach such importance to it. ”
"Maybe it's because people are getting older, so they pay more attention to the inheritance of their children!" The Seventh Prince said.
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, "What you said is good." That's how it should be. ”
Concubine Shu has already sent someone to put away all the fur. Concubine Shu's pregnancy has always been very good, and she has never had morning sickness. You can eat and drink. But the smell of these furs is still a little uncomfortable.
Recently, Chu Shuyao has received news from the Western Chu Kingdom and the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom one after another. Nighthawk told her.
Although Mu Lingxuan had always sent someone to guard her, there was no absolute way to prevent her from communicating with outsiders.
Mu Lingxuan released water like this, which made Chu Shuyao suspicious. But she couldn't think of a reason either.
Since Mu Lingxuan chose to release the water, why wouldn't she do it?
Autumn is almost fleeting, and winter is on, but is it still far from the season of snow?
Concubine Shu couldn't help but look forward to this year's snow. It is almost impossible to see snowy days in the Western Chu Kingdom. The snow in Tanglin last year makes her remember it vividly?
There was also good news outside the palace one after another, first the seventh princess gave birth to a little prince safely, and then the wife of the prince of Yongchang Houfu also gave birth to a little young master.
The seventh princess gave birth to the little princess, and the happiest one was the queen mother. And the wife of the Gu family gave birth to a little young master, and the happiest person was the old man of the Gu family.
The Queen Mother was very happy, so she specially made a decree that the full moon ceremony of the little prince should be held in a big way.
And the emperor also spoke, saying that the full moon ceremony of the little prince was handled by the queen mother, and the queen mother could be as grand as she wanted.
And the little prince's 100-day banquet is fully responsible for the queen's mother, which can be regarded as the emperor's heart as an uncle.
For the emperor's actions, the Queen Mother is still very satisfied. At the same time, the Queen Mother also understood that what she and the Seventh Prince did, the emperor saw in his eyes.
During this time, she followed the advice of the Seventh Prince, lived her life honestly and peacefully. The attitude of the emperor and the queen towards her is really a little better.
A few days ago, the emperor personally sent her the newly made snow fox cloak from the Internal Affairs Office.
The queen mother understood what the emperor meant, and accepted the snow fox cloak with peace of mind. But he turned his head and gave it to Concubine Shu.
In this palace, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor now values the concubine the most.
For this reason, Concubine Li lost her temper again, saying that even the Queen Mother was a snob. Seeing that the emperor favored Concubine Shu, he sent things to Concubine Shu.
These things will not be mentioned for the time being.
Let's talk about the full moon ceremony of the little master of the Gu family. The old man of the Gu family almost invited the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
In fact, it shouldn't have been done that way.
Because of this matter, there is also a royal history to make a statement to the emperor. Saying that the old man of the Gu family did this, it was a bit out of proportion. Forget about the hierarchical system of kings and ministers.
The emperor was generous, and only said that the old man of the Gu family was old, so he hugged his great-grandson, and he was inevitably happy.
And the old man of the Gu family also hurriedly asked the emperor for his guilt, saying that he was overjoyed, and asked the emperor to forgive his sins.
The emperor appeased the old man of the Gu family, and also rewarded the young master of the Gu family with some things.
