Chapter 4 Section 23 Secret Conversation in the Car
On the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Xianning, the queen led nearly 100 women from inside and outside to the western suburbs to persuade weaving.
A large enclosure in the western suburbs has been set up with a lot of spinning wheels, cotton threads have also been made, and some farm textile experts explain the operation essentials on the spot.
The queen couldn't turn the spinning wheel at first, but it was easy to turn, and she twisted the thread again, and the scene burst into laughter.
The queen is really a very serious person. Although her thread was twisted many times, in the end, among those concubines, it was her thread that was spun the finest and most evenly, which made those old weavers praise it repeatedly.
I have been beside the queen to help her untie the thread, and when she spins, I squat on the ground to help her straighten the cotton thread.
When the queen finally spun the yarn that was qualified, she stood up from the spinning stool with satisfaction.
At this moment, her body shook a little, and I quickly held on to her, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
She smiled and said to me, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I woke up a little early in the morning." ”
Later, the queen went to several peasant houses, inquired in detail about their family conditions, and chatted with the peasant women. It wasn't until it was almost lunch that I drove back to the palace.
I was about to step into my car, when the queen's maid came to me and said, "Your Royal Highness, the queen asked you to come and sit with her, and I was surprised to get into the queen's car."
Once inside, I realized something was wrong. The queen's face was sallow, and her breath was unsteady. It was winter, but beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
I hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and asked, "Is the queen mother very uncomfortable at this time?" What should I do, I came in a hurry today, and the doctor didn't bring it. Or. Shall we stop by and call a doctor first? The queen said, "It's okay, I'm not like this today." ”
I panicked even more, "Queen Mother, if you are not well. Just call Erchen today. The queen's phoenix body violated the harmony and asked the concubine to persuade the weaver on her behalf. Who says it's not appropriate? If you're like this, what if you sweat and catch a cold? ”
The queen smiled weakly and said, "If only it were the wind cold." I know my own body, but I've been getting tired lately. I just want to lie down every day, and I have no appetite for anything. I have nightmares every night, and I wake up in a cold sweat every morning. Last night I also dreamed of my mother who died in childbirth. I didn't know what she looked like at all, but last night I dreamed that the person himself said that she was my mother., and the computer station was the fastest. After I woke up, I told Mama Zhou about her physical characteristics and clothing, and Mama Zhou was stunned on the spot, and then she said with red circles in her eyes, the person I saw in my dream is really my mother. ”
I listened with a creep. This week, Mama is the queen's nurse and was taken into the palace by the queen to bow and raise. She must have seen the queen's early death, she said yes. That's sure it really is.
Speaking of this, the queen said to me in a heavy tone, "Since I have such a dream, I know it in my heart, and I guess it won't be long in coming." Look at me now. When I moved a little, I was sweating and panting. At first glance, it is a person who has exhausted his vitality. ”
All I can say is, of course, that she is overthinking. Dreams are dreams after all, and they have nothing to do with reality. She shook her head. sighed softly and said, "It's not a big deal, if you want to say that my generation is extremely honorable, what is there to regret about being a woman and being a queen?" The only thing I'm worried about is my heart. ”
I hurriedly comforted her and said, "The queen mother, she has been much more sensible than before in the past few years, and she has slowly faded away from her childishness, so the queen mother doesn't have to worry too much." ”
The queen nodded and said, "I know this, after he got married, he is indeed more sensible than before, and I and the emperor are much more relieved." He said to me with some apologies, "Although I have always regretted that you did not give birth to a grandson, in my heart, the stability of your heart's throne has played a great role." There are some things that everyone knows, but in fact, I know them all in my heart. I know you did the last banquet, and my kid is probably reluctant. And the last test paper, you also helped him do it. ”
I said, "This son doesn't dare to take credit, the test paper is not made by the son, but it is not too much." It was written by Zhang Hua, the current Gong Cao of the East Palace, and then revised by Zhang Hong, the little eunuch around him. ”
The queen said with a smile: "That day, the emperor invited all the officials of the East Palace to Lingyuntai in advance, just to block all the fraud channels, I didn't think that you still had a way to find the knife catcher." Isn't that Zhang Hua an official of the East Palace? Why didn't he go to Lingyuntai? The emperor is a banquet guest, and there are still fish that have slipped through the net? ”
I explained, "Zhang Hua was just a commonplace beside my father at that time, and I asked him to put on the clothes of a little eunuch and sneak into the palace. Because of this incident, I later asked my father to cut his love and get him into the East Palace. ”
The queen nodded and said, "Thanks to you, since then, Wei and those people have been much more honest, but now they ......", she lowered her voice and said, "You know what? Yang Shufei is pregnant again! ”
"Won't it?" Why is it so fast, it's only been a few months since she gave birth.
The queen smiled lonely and said, "Some people are so fast. Some women give birth to a child a year, if you think about it, it will take ten months to conceive a baby, if she doesn't conceive one just after giving birth, how can she have a child a year? ”
I thought about it, too, this concubine is also strange for being capable, but, "Why is there no rumor at all?" ”
"Didn't the child she had last time shout that she was pregnant with an emperor every day before she was born? As a result, she was born a daughter, she lost her ugliness, and this time she was obedient to school, and no one told her that she was pregnant. If it hadn't been for Doctor Zhang telling me, even I would have been kept in the dark. ”
When I listened, I became a little worried. But he could only persuade the queen to say, "Queen Mother, don't worry too much, who knows if it's a man or a woman, it's a daughter." ”
The queen said, "If I am in good health, I will not worry." Even if she has another child, but her son is small, and my heart is already an adult, and it has been canonized for many years. As long as I'm still sitting on the queen's throne, what the hell can she do? But I'm in such poor health now, and you haven't had children. If Concubine Shu gives birth this time, then I will ...... is gone, the queen will make Concubine Shu the queen again, and this position will definitely have another dispute. ”
What the queen said was indeed the truth. The emperor is in his prime, and Concubine Shu is even younger than me. If she gives birth to a son, she herself will be made queen again, and her son will be a concubine. In a few years, her son will be the most powerful competitor when she is older.
The queen looked out the window with tired eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine for the time being." No matter how weak my body is, I will definitely hold on until Concubine Shu gives birth, see what she is born with, and then make plans. ”
"Well, the queen mother will nourish her body, don't worry too much. First of all, whether Yang Shufei can have a child is one thing; Secondly, the emperor may not necessarily make her queen. Recently, didn't the emperor go to Hu Guifei's place more? ”
The queen nodded, but soon said, "If the emperor appoints other concubines as queens, it will be disadvantageous to the emperor." There are many emperors, and there are nearly ten little emperors under the age of five. If the emperor sets up Hu Guifei as the queen, she will bring one over to raise her, and the child will respect her like she in the future. It's better for her than my heartfelt accession. ”
I vaguely guessed her intentions and waited for her to say what she said. Sure enough, she looked at me and said, "But if her niece Zhang Liangren can have a child, she will not adopt the children of other women in the harem, but will raise this child well with Zhang Liangren, so that the position of Tai will be firm." ”
"The Queen Mother means ......"
"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to canonize Zhang Liangren and let her have a child. Then I persuaded the emperor to promise to make Hu Guifei the queen after my death, so that he could keep the throne of the emperor. ”
It turns out that what I said above is just foreshadowing, and in the end it is to say such a sentence.
It's also funny, the emperor and the queen want to canonize the beloved of the East Palace, just give an order, you don't need to ask me at all. All I can say is, "The minister will thank Zhang Liangren for that." "It's all right, right?
But the queen's request for me was obviously more than that, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked me, "I heard that the princess and the concubine have a deep relationship, and the East Palace has never been favored, is that so?" ”
What kind of world is this, as a mother-in-law, even the matter of the daughter-in-law's bed curtain has to break the casserole and ask the end? "This ...... Probably...... Right. ”
"Concubine, this is not good, I remember admonishing you a long time ago. He is too, shouldering the heavy responsibility of inheriting the royal bloodline, and you ...... "can't give birth to children." Finally, she showed mercy and didn't say these words.
"I understand what the queen mother means."
"That's good, tomorrow I will let the emperor decree and canonize Zhang Liangren as Duanyi", after thinking about it, he said, "That Wang Liangren will also be canonized together, anyway, there are only two good people in your East Palace." ”
"The sons and daughters will thank their fathers and queens for them first." There is ......," she smiled at me embarrassedly and said, "I know that I am very attached to you, if he refuses to accept these two beloveds, you can help me persuade him." If you can really have a child and consolidate your status, you are still your mother-in-law, and the throne of the future queen mother will still be yours. As a woman, you should look farther away. "Respect the teachings of the Queen Mother." She's in such poor health, what's the matter, let's talk about it perfunctory first.
