Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Quiet Girl
Since the collapse of the Empress Nian's family, Emperor Shen Chaowu's temperament has changed greatly, and he is furious at every turn, which makes the Queen Mother a headache.
In the Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother and the Emperor discussed the choice of the new empress.
"Who does the emperor think the queen should do?" The Queen Mother looked at Shen Chaowu, who had been stunned, and when she saw that he was still stunned, she coughed lightly, "What does the emperor think about so obsessed?" ”
Shen Chaowu bowed his head slightly and said: "After returning to my mother, I feel that Concubine Jing Song and Concubine Wen and Concubine Wen are the best candidates for the queen. ”
Shen Chao had no choice, Song Zhiruo also took a fancy to her and the former queen, she never liked to fight with others, if such a woman sat on the queen, she must be able to govern the harem very well.
As for Fu Wanxian, he actually wanted to know if she would take over the position of queen.
For the Empress Dowager Song Zhiruo, she has some memories: "Is it the Concubine Jing who blocked a knife for the emperor in Qingshi Town?" ”
Shen Chaowu nodded: "Exactly." ”
The Queen Mother straightened her body, and then glanced at Aunt Kwai beside her: "The emperor is in court today, who is the candidate for civil and military officials?" ”
Shen Chaowu chuckled: "It's nothing more than choosing some concubines who they think are virtuous and virtuous." ”
Shen Chao didn't see that the Queen Mother was silent, so he said, "For example, the Imperial Concubine Li, the Shufei Wei, and the Heng Concubine Yuan, what's even funnier is that those old men also chose Xia Concubine, which is really ridiculous." ”
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother also smiled, too, no matter how much those ministers wanted to expand their power, how could they choose Xia Concubine Yin, a small concubine, and even let them propose it like the emperor.
"The mourning family has a suitable candidate, I don't know what the emperor thinks."
The Queen Mother pursed her lips and clasped her hands together slightly.
"I wonder who the queen mother is?" Shen Chaowu straightened his body and looked at the Queen Mother.
"The queen naturally wants to be virtuous and virtuous, first of all, from a high position, the imperial concubine can't, and then the concubine Wen." Speaking of this, the Queen Mother glanced at the emperor before she spoke, "Concubine Wen can't." ”
"Why did the Queen Mother say that?" Shen Chao didn't understand what the queen mother meant, but he should always ask the queen mother to say what she thought.
"Changxin has a total of two princesses, one of whom is already the queen of Xitai, if this one is the queen again, I'm afraid these two countries are in the palm of Changxin's hands, if there is any movement, presumably Changxin will know about it, so Wen Guifei Fu must not be the queen."
The Queen Mother also said her thoughts, if the two princesses are really queens, wouldn't that make Changxinguo even more powerful, if they want to attack them Beiyan in the future, it will really be easy.
Shen Chaowu actually understood this truth, and was silent and speechless.
The Queen Mother frowned, "The emperor just wanted Concubine Jing to be the queen, Concubine Jing is indeed a beautiful woman, but she still doesn't have an heir after all, as the queen of Beiyan, how can she not have a son and a half daughter?" ”
Shen Chaowu raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, could it be that the Queen Mother meant to find a concubine with children to be the queen? If that's the case, the palace is also Concubine Lin's family, Concubine Heng's Yuan family, and Concubine Ling's Ruan family.
"In the harem, Concubine De, Concubine Heng and Concubine Ling have children, doesn't the queen mother want to choose one of these three as the queen?"
Shen Chaowu didn't know what the queen mother meant.
When the Queen Mother heard Shen Chaowu's words, she nodded with satisfaction: "Concubine Ling has no family background, she can't be chosen, although Concubine Heng has a prince under her knees, she is arrogant and not suitable for the queen, so the mourning family thinks that Concubine Lin is the best candidate for the queen, and the Lin family is not only gentle and virtuous, but also has a princess under her knees." ”
Shen Chaowu listened to the Queen Mother's words, and then he understood, it turned out that the Queen Mother wanted her people to sit on the queen, otherwise this position would have been in the pocket of Concubine Wen or other concubines.
"Since the queen mother thinks so, then I don't think the other ministers will have any objections."
Shen Chaowu got up slowly, for the position of the queen, if it wasn't for the queen mother's urgency, he wouldn't give it to anyone, after all, in his heart, no one can compare to the first queen Nian.
As soon as this holy decree was promulgated, Wei Shuning was dumbfounded, it was just that Concubine Wen Guifei, who she had been dealing with, was not even selected to be the queen, not even Concubine Jing's Song family, she never thought that this good thing would be caught by Concubine Lin Jingshu, why did God treat her like this?
"Concubine Niangniang..."Yun Miao whispered behind her, Wei Shuning sneered, all this she did was to make a wedding dress for her? went against Fu Wanxian, and it was himself who was lost, and he actually let Lin Jingshu pick up the queen for nothing.
"Concubine Niangniang, don't be like this, one day, you will sit in the position of the queen." Yun Miao didn't know how to comfort his master, but he knew that when his master heard the news, he didn't think about it, and stood at the gate of the palace all day looking at the direction of Fengluan Palace, which made people feel really distressed.
Wei Shuning was full of anger, and got up directly: "No, this palace can't swallow this breath, this palace wants to find her to theorize, why can she Lin Jingshu be the queen, and this palace will not be!" ”
Saying that Wei Shuning was about to go out of the hall, Yun Miao hurriedly grabbed his master, but he didn't want to be thrown away directly by Wei Shuning: "Yun Miao, what are you doing?" You let Hongu theorize! ”
Yun Miao still didn't let go: "Concubine Niangniang, what can you do even if you go?" If you go to the emperor, can you not be crowned the queen of Concubine De? ”
As soon as Yun Miao said this, Wei Shuning stopped struggling and looked at Yun Miao: "But.... But this palace can't swallow this breath. ”
"If you go today, not only will you not let Concubine De be unable to be the queen, but it will be unfavorable to you, so that the emperor and the queen mother will think that you are not virtuous and virtuous, and you are very cautious, so you must not go to this Yanxi Palace."
Wei Shuning sat on the chair as if deflated: "But what should this palace do?" ”
Yun Miao half-squatted down and held Wei Shuning's hand: "Niangniang, the coming day is long, if you go to Yanxi Palace recklessly now, I'm afraid we won't even have a coming day." ”
Wei Shuning nodded, she could only believe in Yun Miao for the time being, I am afraid that in this ruthless harem, only Yun Miao is sincere to herself: "In this case, this palace will listen to you, and when the coming days are long, this palace is still young, and this palace is not afraid of anything." ”
"But the only thing that the slave maid can't figure out is that why did the emperor suddenly choose Concubine De as the queen?" Yun Miao has been puzzled since she knew about this, "The emperor hasn't summoned Concubine De for a long time, why did he choose Concubine De this time?" ”
Not only Yun Miao felt incredible, but even Wei Shuning himself felt incredible.
"However, it is said that the Queen Mother personally chose it, which allowed Concubine De to sit in the position of the queen." Yun Miao also listened to the rumors outside and reported it to Concubine Shu.
The Queen Mother? No wonder Concubine De kept walking to the Queen Mother's Palace, it turned out that Lin Jingshu was to sit as the queen by herself one day, so that the Queen Mother could help her.
Wei Shuning sneered, she didn't expect Concubine De to have such a mind, she and Lin Jingshu took care of the former queen for so long, why didn't she see that Lin Jingshu was such an ambitious woman?
She Wei Shuning is still like a fool, she went to Yanxi Palace to seek an alliance, Lin Jingshu will definitely laugh at herself at this moment, laugh at herself for being so stupid, so stupid.
"Niangniang, at this time, we must not be rash, if we collide with Concubine De Niangniang, then we will not be good in ourselves, so we will not be able to stay in the harem." Yun Miao approached Wei Shuning, she knew that the master must have felt very uncomfortable because he did not sit in the position of queen, but it was uncomfortable, and life should go on.
Seeing that Concubine Shu's expression was a little better, she said, "Besides, aren't there still our people in Fengluan Palace?" The mother has been here for a long time. ”
Wei Shuning slowly closed her eyes and smiled: "Okay, the coming day is long, and this palace doesn't believe that this palace can't pull her Lin Jingshu here." ”
Lin Jingshu's canonization ceremony was very grand, and the three days of celebration in the harem did not eliminate the joy of the new queen.
After the canonization ceremony, Lin Jingshu stayed in Fengluan Palace as she wished, and she touched the bricks and tiles of the former queen here.
"The Queen..."
The palace maid Hai Tao behind her blessed her, and Lin Jingshu slowly turned to look at her: "What's the matter?" ”
Hai Tao said respectfully: "Just now, Tang Gong sent someone to pass the word, saying that the emperor is on the way to Fengluan Palace, and he wants to have dinner with you." ”
Dinner? Lin Jingshu squinted slightly, how long had she not heard this sentence, and how long had she not had dinner with the emperor?
"Okay, Hai Tao, you tell me to go down and order the imperial dining room to make some light food."
Lin Jingshu sat down slowly after instructing, but Hai Tao never left: "Queen Mother, the emperor finally came to visit, and you will present light food to the emperor?" ”
As soon as Hai Tao finished saying this, she immediately closed her mouth, and then knelt down: "The queen mother spares her life, the slave maid didn't mean it." ”
Lin Jingshu glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and motioned for her to get up: "Although this palace is a queen, you have to be more diligent and thrifty, dinner is different from breakfast and lunch, so you should eat some light food for dinner." ”
Seeing that Hai Tao's body was trembling all the time, he said: "You go down first, and in the future, you still have to come over like smoke for the work of serving closely." ”
"The queen mother spares her life, the slave and maid don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, please don't drive the slave and maid out." Hai Tao kept kneeling on the ground, Lin Jingshu was a little bored, slowly got up, and approached her, "This palace didn't say anything about you, just asked you to learn the etiquette rules in the palace again, what do you want to do to you when this palace wants to do to you?" ”
Hai Tao pursed her lips and kowtowed heavily on the ground: "The slave knows that she is dull, and she also knows that the etiquette rules are not good, but the slave and maid are really good for the queen." ”
Lin Jingshu looked at Hai Tao, even if there was anger in her heart, but as the queen of Beiyan, she must not be angry.
At this moment, she can be regarded as experiencing the difficulties of the former queen Nian.
