The emperor was very indulged in the cultivation of Dan in the Anxi Palace, and entrusted more and more of the government to the crown prince. The prince's authority is getting heavier, and his prestige in the court is getting higher and higher day by day, but the emperor is slow to react to this, feeling that the prince is still the child at his mercy, all of which makes Empress Yu feel that the power structure of the Forbidden City has begun to change.

Queen Yu is unwilling to go with the flow, but plans to take precautions. During this time, she often sent Yu Miaoqing to Changle Palace to accompany the Queen Mother. Since Zhang Weizhao left the palace, the prince has become more and more busy, and the emperor has stayed in Anxi Palace all day and has not come out, and the queen mother's side has become deserted. So Yu Miaoqing often told stories to the Queen Mother, and took the album to enjoy with the Queen Mother, just like Zhang Weizhao did at that time, hoping to solve the Queen Mother's loneliness.

However, although she is also telling stories and painting, Yu Miaoqing has no way to attract the joy and joy of the Queen Mother like Zhang Weizhao, and the Queen Mother still talks about Zhang Weizhao in Changle Palace from time to time, remembering how well she runs a school, what her women's school is like, how many students she has accepted, what she teaches, and so on.

In this regard, Queen Yu and Yu Miaoqing once discussed together, the prince was fascinated by Zhang Weizhao, why did the Queen Mother miss Zhang Weizhao?

They came to the conclusion that because Zhang Weizhao's path was new and wild enough. Few people can bring so many novelties into the Forbidden City, so once such a person appears, it attracts the attention of the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince, and even the Emperor.

In order to turn the emperor's gaze around, Jin Guifei put a lot of effort into it, and even did not hesitate to use the power of ghosts and gods and pills. That's it, it didn't let Zhang Weizhao disappear completely, just expelled her.

However, after Zhang Weizhao went out, he made a strange move and set an unprecedented example to set up a women's school. Running a school for women could have easily aroused the disgust of those pedantic old masters, but because Zhang Weizhao took in all lonely girls and taught service skills such as nursing, embroidery and cooking, instead of attracting scolding, he won a high reputation among the people.

In fact, what do those small people know? Zhang Weizhao's good reputation, didn't someone specially help her?

As soon as Zhang Weizhao said that he would run a school, the Queen Mother immediately rewarded her with silver, and then the eldest princess of Fengqing followed, so that the noblewomen in the capital began to be proud of donating to her; Second, there is a group of scholars under the prince who specially advocate for her, saying that Zhang Weizhao is like a fairy who saves the world. For a while, everyone no longer mentioned how she angered the emperor and was kicked out of the palace, but some people said that her return to the palace was just around the corner.

Queen Yu felt that she might as well borrow Zhang Weizhao's momentum. Isn't the Queen Mother interested in Zhang Weizhao's women's studies? Let Yu Miaoqing go to the women's school to teach. Zhang Weizhao can't enter the palace now, but Yu Miaoqing can, often talk to the Queen Mother about the situation of women's studies, plus some anecdotes in the market, and slowly envelop the Queen Mother's heart.

Moreover, teaching at the women's school and becoming good sisters with Zhang Weizhao will also make the prince look at Miaoqing differently.

Who knows, Zhang Weizhao rejected Yu Miaoqing's proposal in one bite.

The queen thought for a while, and said to Miaoqing: "Since she said that it is inconvenient for you to teach there, but you can walk more in your spare time, you should bring snacks, toys and clothes, and visit often." No matter what she thinks secretly, since you are kind to her, she has to accept your affection. ”

Yu Miaoqing twisted her thin eyebrows: "Auntie, she clearly doesn't want me to come close, am I still in a hurry to get some people's eyes?" ”

"I know you've been wronged. But you should have heard this saying a long time ago, what is good at the top, but what is bad at the bottom. Since the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince like to see people pity the poor and the weak, and be kind and giving, you have to behave like this. Now you go to get close to her, not for her, but to make the Queen Mother happy, and the prince values it. The queen patiently taught.

Yu Miaoqing lowered her head and bit her lip and did not speak. Seeing this, Queen Yu said:

"You also saw what kind of woman the prince liked. If you really feel that you are not up to the task, it is better to replace your third sister. Although her appearance is not as outstanding as yours, she has a refreshing temperament, and she may be more able to enter the eyes of the queen mother and the prince. ”

"Aunt," Yu Miaoqing immediately looked up and said, "I will do what my aunt says!" I was just trying to figure out what to do. ”

Empress Yu nodded slowly: "That's good!" Actually, I'm doing this for your good. You are the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and you are also the most outstanding girl in this generation, so I naturally hope that you will have a good result. ”

"Thank you, aunt! I will live up to my aunt's expectations! Yu Miaoqing was deeply blessed.

In Changle Palace, the Queen Mother heard that Yu Miaoqing had been walking around Zhang Weizhao's girls' school a lot recently, so she asked her what this school was like and how it was different from private schools. Yu Miaoqing told the Queen Mother about the interesting stories she saw in Songzhu Girls' School, and the Queen Mother listened to them with great interest.

Ah Zhao had a wide wooden board hung on the wall, painted white, and then written on it with a carbon strip and taught the students below to follow along. In this way, when the gentleman writes, the people below can see it, so there is no need to teach them one by one. Yu Miaoqing said.

"That's a good idea, but can you write it well?" The Queen Mother said strangely.

"Ah Zhao said, anyway, the girls won't go to the examination when they grow up, and it's good to be literate and write."

"It's like what she said, and her own handwriting isn't very good." The Queen Mother said that she laughed first.

Ah Zhao also taught the girls to do five poultry plays every day, saying that he hoped that they would be healthy. When you have the opportunity, you can also ask your husband to teach them how to box. In this way, when they grow up and get married in the future, if anyone's husband dares to beat her, she will be able to beat him all over the ground to find teeth. So that life will not be bad. ”

The Queen Mother and Xiangyu and Narcissus who served beside the Queen Mother all laughed when they heard this.

"Does anyone dare to ask for such a woman?" Narcissus said with a smile on her face.

Yu Miaoqing just wanted to say that, but the Queen Mother said: "If this man is sincere to her, is he still afraid that his daughter-in-law is in good health and has strength?" Not only will the two not fight, but they will be very happy! ”

A room full of people hurriedly chimed in. Who doesn't know that the Queen Mother was promoted to a concubine because she was healthy and easy to give birth.

The Queen Mother said: "Ah Zhao has always been like this, he speaks and does things unexpectedly, but he is very reasonable when he thinks about it. ”

Xiangyu said: "She also said before that Da Yan should also be like Europa, a man should only marry one woman." ”

Yu Miaoqing hadn't heard Zhang Weizhao talk about this, and said in surprise: "A man can only marry one woman? ”

"yes!" Xiangyu said: "She said that there are equal numbers of men and women in this world, and God did not let women far more than men, so it can be seen that it is born to let a man marry a woman." ”

In fact, Zhang Weizhao also said that if there are groups of wives and concubines, yin and yang are out of balance, and people's hearts are uneven, life will be difficult to be peaceful. If she says so, isn't the harem the most dysfunctional place? Zhang Weizhao dared to say this without concealment, but Xiangyu did not dare to follow suit.

Although Xiangyu didn't finish the story, Yu Miaoqing's heart had already begun to sink when she heard it.

The Queen Mother said: "Different regions have different customs. She also said that monogamy is written into the law in Europa, and if a man remarries, the woman can sue the official, where does this work in Dayan? Having said that, there was a little look of amazement on his face.

Yu Miaoqing said casually and said: "Fortunately, Ah Zhao is a monk, if she is a lady of which family, this husband is really not easy to choose!" He smiled as he was shy.

"If she wants to marry, she will definitely not allow her husband to take concubines." Narcissus followed.

"A person like Ah Zhao who is beautiful and capable, if I am a man and marry her, I will not think about others anymore." Xiangyu said.

The Queen Mother said: "You can bury her while she is away, and see if you can settle accounts with you when she comes back." ”

Xiangyu said: "The Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave is praising her, where is burying her." ”

The ladies in the room were laughing heartily.

At this moment, someone outside the house spread the news that the prince came to greet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother hurriedly called in.

The crown prince came in to greet the queen mother, and when he saw that the queen mother had a smile on her face, he asked, "What kind of joke is the imperial grandmother listening to?" Laughing so happily? ”

"We're talking about Ah Zhao's troubles." The Queen Mother said this deliberately.

"If she has any troubles, let me hear about it." Chen Youcong said with shining eyes.

The Queen Mother hadn't answered yet, Yu Miaoqing suddenly had a fever in her head for some reason, and said in a ghostly manner: "I'm saying that Ah Zhao advocates that a man should only match a woman." ”

"Isn't that great? I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated. What's wrong with this? Chen Youcong said with a smile.

Yu Miaoqing's smile froze on her face.

How did the Queen Mother not understand Yu Miaoqing's thoughts? Queen Yu tried her best to send her to accompany her, the Queen Mother knew very well in her heart. In fact, the Queen Mother has always felt that Yu Miaoqing has good qualifications and is a good candidate for the crown princess. She is gentle and careful, and she will definitely be able to take good care of the prince after entering the palace.

The prince is in love with Zhang Weizhao wholeheartedly, and the queen mother herself likes this different girl very much, so naturally she will not object. It's just that Zhang Weizhao is from Kundao, and if she is chosen as the crown princess, it will inevitably cause discussion among the courtiers and the people. So in the future, it is enough to set her a higher grade.

Ah Zhao is good everywhere, but his edge is too exposed. Although Yu Miaoqing is not very popular with the prince, she is better than being born in a noble background, with a soft temper, and can tolerate people. So one of them is a favorite concubine and the other is a wife, which is very suitable.

As for a lifetime and a couple, thinking of this, the Queen Mother sighed secretly, I'm afraid that in the Great Yan Palace, such a wish is just to think about it and say it, where can it be taken seriously?

The Queen Mother diverted the conversation and asked Chen Youcong about other things, Yu Miaoqing flashed aside, and after a while, she covered up the sadness on her face.
