Chapter 46: Will She Become a Favorite Concubine?
"Who would have thought that she would be so mad and mad, and when she saw that you couldn't help it, she would attack your mother. Pity your mother gave birth to the prince for Da Yan, but she never saw the light of day, and she was easily made a concubine, and she died after living in Changyang Palace for only a month. ”
At this point, Chen Youcong clenched his fists on the side, and the nails on his hands were pinched into the flesh, but he restrained himself from making any sound.
"Grandmother was so angry that she summoned Jin Ling'er to Changle Palace and wanted to give her death. But your father came and pleaded guilty, saying that if Jin Ling'er died, he would wait to collect his bones. Speaking of this scene of the mother-son decision, Empress Dowager Liu's tears overflowed her eyes. Chen Youcong came over to wipe the tears of the Queen Mother.
"It's grandmother's incompetence. I couldn't stop that golden bell. But my grandmother always had to protect my grandchildren. I told Jin Ling'er to let her stop from now on, if my grandson has three long and two short, and the mourning family fights for an old life, they will also slaughter Jin Ling'er's nine clans. That's when she was scared. After that, I purged her cronies, those who helped her in the murder, either by beating or killing. She has lost her minions and does not dare to go on murder again. After that, you will have younger siblings born one after another. ”
"Then you had a serious illness and forgot all about the past. I think it's okay to do this, so that you won't be so bitter in your heart, and Jin Ling'er won't hurt you because she is afraid of you. ”
Year after year, Jin Ling'er kept asking for children. She always thought that as long as she could give birth to a son, the crown prince would be her son's. But as she gets older, her son never gets born. Finally broke off this thought. ”
But she couldn't give birth to a child, and she had other thoughts. That's when I summoned Ye Tongying into the palace, I wanted to use that girl to hold you. Cui's was abolished because of Jin Ling'er's tricks, and he hated Jin Ling'er to the core. She saw that Jin Ling'er wanted to use Ye Tongying to continue the glory and wealth of the Jin family, and she didn't want her to succeed, so she tried to tell you the reason for the situation. ”
"Grandmother, because of your grandson, you have been wronged!" Hearing this, Chen Youcong said from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Youcong knew that his grandmother had always loved him, but he didn't know that his grandmother had protected him so far. When I heard this from my grandmother, I was in a different mood than when I heard it from Cui's mouth. When Choi told him about the past, he was both shocked and unacceptable. And at this moment, his grandmother told the truth, but it made his heart firm. At this moment, he no longer indulged in his own grief, but began to see the role and position of everyone in this situation, so as to understand the hard work of the Queen Mother even more.
"Grandmother is not saying this to show you credit. Grandmother just wants you to know the truth and what kind of situation you will face in this court in the future. Grandmother didn't tell you this before because you didn't know, and it was safe. Now that you know, it's best to pretend you don't know. Otherwise......" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's expression became grim.
"Your father is not the only son of you. Your two younger brothers have no grudges against Jin Ling'er. Do you understand what your grandmother said? ”
"Grandson understands!" Chen Youcong had already restrained his sad look at this time, and his young and handsome face showed a bit of perseverance.
"So even if you don't want Jin Ling'er to be happy, you have to be kind to Ye Tongying."
Chen Youcong was a little skeptical: "But if her grandson doesn't like her, why bother?" ”
"I'm afraid that if you are too cold to her, Jin Ling'er will guess what you already know. You can rest assured, your grandmother will choose a good woman for you as the crown princess, and you will not be wronged. As for Ye Tongying, in the future, she can be allowed to enter the prince's mansion as a waiter, and just put it there lukewarmly. ”
The Queen Mother actually wants to say, you don't have to wait too long, Jin Ling'er is seventeen years older than your father, and she will definitely go before him. If that day comes, what to do with Ye Tongying is not a trivial matter. But now Chen Youcong is still young, and he has underestimated the treachery of people's hearts, so he has not said it for the time being.
Chen Youcong lowered his head and said, "Wouldn't that delay her life." "He just hates Jin Ling'er. Although she was angry with Ye Tongying, she felt that she was innocent and should not be involved in these grievances.
The Queen Mother knew Chen Youcong's character, and she couldn't persuade her well for a while, so she had to think about it in the long run. He sighed and said, "I know you are a pure child. But since you were born in the Forbidden City, many things are out of your control. Well, it's not urgent, you're not old enough to discuss marriage, so you can put it off for a while. At this time, you need to eat well, sleep well, take care of your body, and stop worrying your grandmother. ”
Empress Dowager Liu asked, and Chen Youcong agreed.
After pondering for a while, Empress Dowager Liu asked again: "Since you are very good, Daoyi Zhang ......"
Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Chen Youcong said: "If it weren't for Daoist Zhang, Sun Er wouldn't have been able to sort out his thoughts so quickly." My grandson always felt that there were still some important things that I didn't remember, and I wanted to continue to ask her to help me with my cultivation. ”
The Queen Mother simply asked directly: "Even if you have forgotten things for many years, she can help you remember." Does she have any mystical powers? ”
Chen Youcong thought for a moment and replied: "I think she does have some special abilities, with her help in Qing Xiu, she can always make people's spirits clear and their hearts clear." But when it comes to psychic powers, I don't think she has the ability. She is more transparent about people's hearts. ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent. Chen Youcong further said: "Grandmother, you think, the heavenly officials or national teachers of the past dynasties, regardless of whether they have real skills or not, always have to say that their skills are very strange, and some people will even sell the art of immortality to the emperor. Since the First Emperor, there have been many emperors who have been obsessed with the art of immortality, but which one is really immortal? There are a few who died violently because of taking pills. ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother listened, Chen Youcong continued: "What are these people asking for? It's nothing more than power and wealth. And Zhang Daoyi, since entering the palace, has been polite and courteous to anyone. Some people say that she has to pay for medical treatment whenever she treats people, and she is greedy for money and small profits. But it is precisely because she is honest and honest that she can see that she is not buying people's hearts with deception. She never wanted to use you or me to seek wealth and power, but she was clearly divided. This shows that she is indeed a person with a good heart. ”
The Queen Mother nodded slowly. But he said: "But I feel that there are too many things about her that I can't see." Your thoughts, she can guess. It's hard for you to think about what she thinks. Do you think there is really a person in this world who is not moved by wealth and power? Who is truly desireless? ”
She didn't say she had no desires. Grandmother, you forgot? She has long made it clear that she doesn't like to be called for no reason. If you see a doctor, you have to charge money. She also told people that after she saved enough money, she would go out to open a big medical center, and set up a special delivery room to accept women waiting to give birth. ”
"How can a woman want to go out and give birth? And she keeps saying this, but it makes people feel ......" The Queen Mother also laughed, "Forget it, I always talk about what this girl is doing." Speaking of which, she hasn't shown me the painting since the last time I hit the pothos board. Hum! ”
"I heard Feng Hao say that Zhang Daoyi has asked for a lot of paper and carbon strips in the past few days, and he doesn't know what to draw behind closed doors. Maybe in the next two days, she will come to the imperial grandmother to present a new work. ”
"Am I rare? Her affairs, Feng Hao is clear? The Queen Mother deliberately made a straight face.
Chen Youcong only lowered his head and smiled without answering.
After the prince left, the queen mother washed up and went to bed, but she couldn't sleep for a long time. She always felt that Chen Youcong was too attentive to that Taoist doctor.
The Queen Mother actually thinks that this Zhang Weizhao is a very interesting person. Knowledgeable and medically extraordinary. As long as you stay with her, you won't get bored. And she also has a benefit that other women can't match, that is, she won't always hold the beauty shelf to show off her amorousness, she won't pinch her throat to speak, she won't walk with her waist twisted, and she won't see a young man, in fact, she refers to the prince, so she makes a gesture of blushing and trembling, and wanting to stop talking. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that she is a member of the Daomen. But the Queen Mother has also seen some pretty Taoist aunts and nuns, so she knows that not all cultivators really have the bearing of a cultivator.
If that's all there is to it, that's fine. If the prince likes it, let her return to the vulgar in the future and put it by the prince's side, it's not impossible. What about the people in the Daomen? Are there still fewer such tricks in all dynasties? She understands medical skills and is knowledgeable, and she will definitely be able to take care of the prince's body in the future. Even if the prince doted on her more, there would be nothing. She is in good health, and the child she gives birth to must be in good health.
However, there are always some doubts about her, which are difficult to see clearly. The Queen Mother always feels that the world in her eyes is different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people. She seems, no, she must be able to see something that ordinary people can't see. She swore that she couldn't communicate with the gods and ghosts. So what did she see?
Assuming that the prince has a love affair with her, he will keep her by his side in the future and become a favorite concubine, if she has always been kind-hearted, it is fine, if she harbors evil intentions, how can other concubines be her opponents? Will there be another tragedy similar to Jin Ling'er's poisonous harem? The Queen Mother was already frightened by these things, so she couldn't help but think more and more, slept late, and got up late the next day.
The prince was right. In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Weizhao came to see the Queen Mother, holding a pamphlet in his hand and presenting it.
The Queen Mother still had a stiff face, but she was quite complacent in her heart. This kind of self-satisfaction is not the kind of arrogance in high positions. On the contrary, it is a bit of a feeling that the elderly have a small temper and hope that the younger generations will come to coax it.
When I opened the booklet, the Queen Mother was happy.
This is a illustrated story about a French female general named Joan of Arc.
But the Queen Mother laughed not at this story, but at Zhang Weizhao's words. Compared with her paintings, Zhang Weizhao's words are really unreadable. In the past, I only watched her draw, and I haven't seen her write, but today, even the Queen Mother, who has no knowledge of calligraphy and painting, can see that her words are rotten.
It's not that her handwriting is crooked, she lacks a pen and few strokes, she writes horizontally and vertically, but there is a strange feeling of stiffness, and there is no agility and handsomeness.
The Queen Mother naturally wouldn't know that the words written by the person who practiced pen writing were like this.
The Queen Mother remembered again, she had heard Xiangyu say before, Zhang Weizhao didn't know how to be a female celebrity at all, she couldn't play the piano, she couldn't play chess, she couldn't taste tea, and she could only comb a Taoist bun on her head, and she only had some insight when it came to eating.
It seems that there is a limit to people's intelligence, and when they use it here, they can't take care of it. Seeing Zhang Weizhao's ugly words, the Queen Mother's worries were alleviated.
