Chapter 472: The Queen Mother's Plans
The grandmother and palace maid in the palace also had no choice, so they could only comfort the princess in a low voice: "Niangniang is relieved, this is not yet the enthronement ceremony, I think that the saint has been arranged, and it will definitely not delay the matter after the seal." ”
The palace maid on the side also said: "Yes, His Royal Highness was also very attentive to Niangniang before, and everything depended on Niangniang." ”
The crown princess smiled bitterly: "This time is different from the past, before he was because I was pregnant with the imperial heir, hoping that the first emperor could look at the child in my womb and dispel Yi Chu's thoughts, and hoped that the queen mother could also take care of a few points, so he would take me as a lifesaver, but now he ......"
"He is already the Son of Heaven, I have no children, and my mother's family is just an ordinary noble, without any power, where will he still take me in his eyes."
She choked with tears and held her grandmother's hand with grief.
Mama didn't know how to persuade her, before the Lingling County Lord entered the East Palace at night, she persuaded the princess not to ask, after all, the Lingling County Lord has a special identity, and there is the Queen Mother's token in her hand, as long as the East Palace opens one eye and closes one eye, it will be fine, even if there is really something, it can be said clearly, not to mention that there is no need to clash head-on with the Lingling County Lord.
It's just that the crown princess didn't listen at all, which caused the change that night, and later the queen mother's affairs, she also tried her best to persuade the princess to go to Jiashou Hall in person to invite the queen mother to come out, but the princess was full of resentment that the queen mother canonized the concubine, and would rather call herself sick than go, so how could the queen mother be willing to ask about the affairs after the seal, it became such an embarrassing situation.
Sure enough, two days before the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the queen mother said that she would go to Feng'an Hall to accompany the coffin of the first emperor, and took Gu Mingzhu and a group of people out of Taiji Palace, and lived in the simple Feng'an Palace.
If the queen mother refused to come in person at the enthronement ceremony, I am afraid that I don't know what handle will be left when it is spread out, and I can't say that the queen mother is not satisfied with him, and the queen mother insisted on moving to the Jiashou Hall some time ago, and the rumors made it worse.
The saint who had been feasting for days was finally anxious, he summoned Gu Qing and Guo Sheng several important ministers to come to discuss, Ma Yuanji proposed that the saint should personally go to Feng'an Hall to invite the Queen Mother to come back, before the words were finished, Lu Suiliang had already jumped out to object, how could the saint's daughter leave the palace in a hurry, not to mention that the coffin of the first emperor was in Feng'an Palace, even if he wanted to go, he should go in the name of worship, otherwise it would cause more speculation.
Gu Qing and Guo Sheng never spoke, they knew in their hearts that this was not a matter of fighting for the saint's travel, but for the queen mother's entry into the court.
In order to allow the saint to ascend to the throne smoothly, the queen mother put on a posture of not asking about the government at the beginning, but when it came to the enthronement ceremony, the queen mother refused to return to the palace, which was forcing the courtiers to retreat and forcing them to let the queen mother interfere in the government step by step.
But even if they knew, Guo Sheng and the others had nothing to do, after all, the Queen Mother had already controlled most of the government, and the saint was also the Queen Mother's own son, so she had to bow her head no matter what.
After all, it was Ma Yuanji who had the upper hand, and he said that the saint was moved: "...... The saint is sincere and filial, personally went to Feng'an Hall to pay tribute to the first emperor, and invited the queen mother back to the palace, even if there are any rumors will be quelled, this is the virtue of the saint. ”
The saint nodded again and again, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the affairs of the court were all helped by the queen mother, so that he could eat and drink with peace of mind, and now the queen mother left the affairs of the court and the palace and went to Feng'an Palace, where can he still sit still, just thinking about being able to smoothly invite the queen mother back, and the enthronement ceremony, as for the courtiers who said that the queen mother was in power, he didn't pay attention to it at all, no matter how the queen mother coveted power, after all, she was a woman, could she still take his throne.
In the Feng'an Palace, the Queen Mother didn't have the mood to copy the scriptures, but just sat on the couch and read the Buddha beads, talking to Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyu sisters.
Gu Mingyu married herself and went to the Xianwang Mansion, the whole person is very different, her complexion is much more lively, she has accompanied the Queen Mother in the Feng'an Palace in the past two days, and the Queen Mother not only likes her a little more.
“…… San Lang has loved horses since he was a child, and when he was a child, his father wanted to reward him with a farmhouse, but he refused to ask for it, but he asked for the black horse, saying that it was the most majestic to ride to lead the troops to fight, which made us cry and laugh. ”
The Queen Mother talked about the events of King Xian Li Mi when he was a child, and finally had a smile on her always gloomy face.
Gu Mingyu smiled and accompanied her: "Niangniang doesn't know, a large stable has been specially built in the palace, which are all His Highness's beloved horses, and His Royal Highness also said that I am afraid that the most valuable ones in the palace are those good horses." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head with a smile: "Even if he is a prince, his annual salary is only that, and there is not much left after buying a horse, you still have to take care of it for him, but you can't let him do it." ”
Gu Mingyu responded with a smile.
Gu Mingzhu also smiled lightly when he listened to it, Li Mi respected Gu Mingyu very much, and now the Xianwang Mansion is in Gu Mingyu's hands, and the husband and wife are affectionate and raise their eyebrows, which can be regarded as a suitable marriage.
The Queen Mother was talking to them, and sighed again: "I heard that Erlang's daughter-in-law is seriously ill, and she has sent someone to send a message over, saying that I am afraid that it will be a matter of the next few days." ”
Gu Mingzhu was not only taken aback, she had been busy with the affairs of the palace these days, and she had never seen Princess Xian enter the palace during the state funeral, she only heard that she was sick, but she didn't know that it was so serious, but how could she be so sick?
Gu Mingyu was also surprised, and hurriedly said: "I haven't heard of it before, it's so heavy, it's good to go and see it." ”
After all, it's a concubine, and you can't treat it as not knowing.
The Queen Mother dialed the Buddha beads and said lightly: "She is also a bitter life, she married thousands of miles to Chang'an, far away from her homeland, but she became sick like this, and I can't bear it in my heart, but if I go to see her, I'm afraid that it will be another toss, but it's not good, and I can't call her over, or you two sisters will go for me." ”
Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyu looked up at the Queen Mother, and only listened to her: "You go to the Xianwang Mansion for a while, take a look at Erlang's daughter-in-law for me, let her live and recuperate, after all, she is young, and her body and bones can get better, and then tell Erlang, I am now old, and my body is not good, I can't listen to these sad things, you don't have to go back and forth to me for everything, if there is anything Mingzhu, you can listen to it." ”
Gu Mingzhu frowned slightly, since that night, King Xian was afraid that he also knew that his act of entering the palace with hundreds of guards that night to search was too reckless, and his ambitions had been exposed.
It's just that it seems that the Queen Mother has no patience to pay attention to him anymore, and he has been completely abandoned after all.
