In the warm pavilion of the queen mother of a country, there is not a single luxurious object, only a few paintings and calligraphy of famous masters of the previous dynasties on the wall, which is the most precious decoration in the whole warm pavilion.

Holding an unpretentious Chengyao teacup, and thinking about the set of official kiln teaware she had washed away a few days ago, Wanying reflected in her heart that she was still not frugal enough.

Putting down the teacup, I saw the clean and old coffee table, and the corner of the table had worn off a little patent leather, but the Queen Mother still reluctantly threw it away and was still using it.

looked at the furnishings in the room one by one, and the impetuousness in Wanying's heart was also smoothed out little by little.

The Queen Mother told herself to wait here, and sure enough, she was wise, and Wanying's previous impetuous soul began to gradually precipitate.

A quiet soul can resonate with another quiet soul.

About an hour later, the Queen Mother finally returned to Cining Palace. There was already a palace maid ready to understand the warm tea of the wine, and the queen mother drank a bowl and directly ordered everyone to retreat.

"Is it cold in the house?"

Wan Ying shook her head coquettishly and said, "Lukewarm, just right!" ”

The Queen Mother inspected Wanying's clothes today, gave her very appreciative looks, and then said with a smile: "The mourning family is now old, the house is too warm, and it is easy to catch a cold when you go out, so only half of the charcoal fire is burned in the warm pavilion." The mourning family just saw Zhi'er and Cheng'er, and the two boys gained a lot of weight, and they were heavy again in their arms. ”

Watching the Queen Mother praise her two sons happily, Wanying looked at the Queen Mother gratefully. Tears almost welled up in his eyes.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet came to all the important ministers and relatives of the imperial court, and the empress dowager deliberately hugged the crown prince in front of the civil and military officials, and made it clear that she told all the ministers present that the empress dowager recognized Hongzhi as her own grandson.

The Queen Mother Yun said lightly to Wanying, and also told Wanying from the side: She understands everything in her old man's heart.

Wanying was moved and grateful, and said emotionally: "It's not! The concubines are also a little unable to hold it now! ”

Wanying didn't complain about her grievances, the Queen Mother felt sorry for Wanying's forbearance, pulled her next to her and sat down and said, "I've wronged you again!" ”

Wanying was still overjoyed, but she was suddenly moved to tears by this sentence.

The tears in her eyes kept rolling in her eyes, and she said with tears: "The concubine originally felt a little aggrieved in her heart, but when she came to the Queen Mother, she didn't feel aggrieved when she saw the Queen Mother." ”

"Good boy, no wonder the emperor likes you, you can understand the general situation like this, even the mourning family can't bear to let you be wronged."

"Queen Mother, thank you for taking care of Wanying!"

"Child, there is another reason why the mourning family called you over today."

"Wanying knows."

The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, but Wanying had already understood the Queen Mother's hard work.

"You understand?"

"Wanying understands that the emperor and the queen can't be together all year round, otherwise the ministers outside should talk nonsense!"

The Queen Mother looked at Wanying appreciatively and said, "This is just one of them, the mourning family is your queen mother and the queen's queen mother." In fact, the mourning family did this not only for the queen, but also for you. ”

"Wan Ying knows the empress dowager's painstaking intentions, the empress is the middle palace, according to the ancestral system on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor and the empress must be together."

Wanying said, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but fall. The Queen Mother hugged Wanying and said distressedly: "Child, the women in our harem are all boiled out step by step like this, the emperor is first the emperor of the world, then the father of your child, and finally your husband." ”

"Wanying understands!"

"The reason why the ministers have opinions is that the emperor loves you too much, and in all dynasties, the wise emperor can't favor a concubine alone, do you understand?"

"Shang has Daji, Zhou has praise, Wu died for Xi Shi, the Western Han Dynasty was burdened by Feiyan, and the concubines couldn't drag Liulang. Neither will the concubines! ”

"Very good, our royal family needs a daughter-in-law like you."

Wanying knew the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words, but at this point, she still couldn't send the man she loved to another woman's bed.

"Child, the emperor can't just have your children, if the royal family wants to prosper forever, it must flourish, do you know?"

Wanying looked at the Queen Mother with difficulty, she really wanted to tell the Queen Mother, 'Wanying doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand!' ’

"Some people outside really want to embarrass you, but some people are not, they are real pillars of the country, real righteous ministers, they oppose you, not because they really think you and You'an have something to do! They did not dare to repeat the mistakes of previous dynasties, so they could only follow the tide and admonish the emperor. ”

"Queen Mother, Wanying understands, Wanying will persuade the emperor to go to the other sisters."

Seeing Wanying agreeing with difficulty, the Queen Mother said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as the old woman is alive, no one can abolish your son." Hongzhi is the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the future will be the day of our Great Zhou! ”

Wanying is sad, not worried that her son will be replaced by other women's sons in the future, she is sad that two people who love each other are bound by the palace rules and the world, and so many irrelevant people are forced to be stuffed in.

Wanying suddenly felt that her love was a little crowded, so crowded that it was a little difficult for her to breathe.

"The mourning family still wants to tell you one more sentence in the end, the mourning family knows that Shi Shaosong is outside to help you secretly investigate this matter, so let them stop, the mourning family is afraid that you will find out to the end, and you will not be able to accept the truth."

The Queen Mother knew that this rumor was spread by Wanyun, and the Queen Mother felt sorry for Wanying, how heartbroken Wanying would be if she knew this!

But everything is still a little bit late, and Wanying already knows the truth: everything is nothing more than Wanyun secretly planning such a grand rumor.

Wan Ying had just guessed this result. The Queen Mother had already known about it, thinking of this, Wan Ying felt a little cold in her back, and stammered: "Does the Queen Mother also know that Wan Ying is secretly investigating the cause of her father's death?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded and remained silent.

"Queen Mother, Wanying can promise you not to do it within three years, but the Queen Mother can't stop Wanying from investigating the cause of her father's death."

"Child, why don't you ask the mourning family, why is it three years, why not four years, two years, five years, eight years?"

Wanying blurted out and said: "The Queen Mother said that the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the foundation is not yet stable. It will take time to stabilize the forces of all parties. ”

In the warm East Warm Pavilion, the Spring Festival couplets of the New Year are decorated everywhere, and the lights shine on the red Spring Festival couplets, reflecting the red light, and the red light is reflected on the faces of the two people, each other is sincere and sincere.

"Within three years, there will be a battle between Da Zhou and Nu Dan."

"Nu Dan?"

"Nudan!"

"The court and the female Dan are the friendship of in-laws, and the female Dan has bowed to us, the Queen Mother personally said that between the Great Zhou and the female Dan, there is no war?"

The Queen Mother said faintly: "Only those who stay out of the matter will believe this!" ”

"The Queen Mother said this to Wanying today, what does this have to do with Wanying's father's hatred?"

The Queen Mother did not directly answer Wanying's words, but muttered softly: "Back then, Concubine Dong'an colluded with Wu'an Hou and gave birth to the king of Dong'an County, and the two of them did not hesitate to sacrifice Youyun City in order to support the king of Dong'an County to sit on the throne of the emperor, in exchange for the support of Nudan, and later Emperor Wuzhao, that is, the husband of the mourning family, discovered the secret of the two of them, and before they could fight back, they were poisoned to death!" ”

Wanying was shocked and stunned, the Queen Mother's simple few words broke through the treacherous waves of the Great Zhou Dynasty for decades. Emperor Wu Zhao died suddenly, although it happened suddenly, but there were old diseases to follow.

It's just that I didn't expect to be killed by Wu Anhou and Concubine Dong'an. The Queen Mother didn't let Wanying do it too early, because she was afraid that Wanying would startle the snake, but it would harm Wanying's own life!

In the face of her husband-killing enemies, the Queen Mother was able to endure humiliation and live with them for ten years.

I don't know how the Queen Mother survived in the past ten years.

How careful she was walking on thin ice, Wanying didn't know.

This is not something that Wanying can speculate and measure.

"Liu Ruxin (Concubine Dong'an) probably still thinks that the mourning family doesn't know about the king of Dong'an, but in fact, the mourning family knew about it long before the first emperor found out."

"The concubine remembers the king of Dong'an or the queen mother?"

"Yes, the mourners not only pretended not to know, but also sealed their evil obstacles."

"Doesn't the Queen Mother's heart hurt?"

"Orphans and widows, what qualifications do they have to be heartbroken, to be able to protect their children to survive, is the only belief of the mourning family, as for their own heartache, the mourning family has never thought of it! Don't dare to think about it! Even if he endured like this, Huichang of the mourning family still couldn't escape the evil calamity, and was forced to death by them! Nudan is the lifelong enemy of the mourning family, if you don't destroy the Nudan, the mourning family will not dare to die, the mourning family does not know how to face the violent death of the first emperor, and wait for the shameless answer to Huichang's question. ”

"The Queen Mother knew that Nu Dan was the murderer of the first emperor, and she also asked Sister Huichang to marry Nu Dan far away!"

The Queen Mother was a little stunned, and said faintly: "If there is a way, who will let her own daughter die?" If Huichang doesn't marry Nudan, how can her younger brothers sit in the capital? ”

Wanying looked at the depressed Queen Mother, tears could not stop, and for a long time, the sound of needles falling could be heard in the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Hatred is not the purpose of life, it is the purpose of being alive. If the living are allowed to die for revenge, then the dead will not be blinded. Only when we live well, those who die can be at ease in heaven. ”

"Is the Queen Mother asking Wanying not to be imprisoned in her own small world? Let yourself have a way to live, and let your children have a way to live? ”

"If there is no prince in the harem, you will definitely end up like Feiyan in the mouth of future generations!"

"Saying that this palace plotted to kill the imperial heir, causing the royal heir to be thin, isn't this bloody?"

"Maybe when the two sisters Zhao Feiyan were alive, they didn't expect future generations to comment on their sisters like this."

"Wanying understands the teachings of the Queen Mother! Wanying will admonish the emperor to be wet with rain and dew, and Wanying will admonish the emperor to go to the other sisters! ”

"That's right! Even if the emperor is unwilling, he can't spoil a concubine alone, and He You'an, no matter how reluctant he is, he must go to the Northern Expedition. ”

A problem was solved, and the Queen Mother's words changed and fell directly on He Youan's head, which made Wanying a little restless all of a sudden.

"The Queen Mother, Wanying and General He are innocent, and Zhi'er is also the emperor's own flesh and blood!"
