Such a small wound is not worth mentioning, and the same is true of what naturally happens during the day. It just opened Min'er's eyes, and the heavenly family she thought was strict and majestic was nothing more than that.

The eldest princess Huiyi, crying like a shrew, is the most tricky daughter-in-law in Yuanzhou Village, and she will not sit on the ground and cry like that, she is dignified and royal, but she can tolerate such a ridiculous thing.

When she first married to the Shangyang Palace, Qingya asked her to change several sets of dresses every day, and the concubines were also dressed in brocade clothes and looked decent, but under this prosperous appearance, what was hidden was an unorthodox harem and an unorthodox royal family.

It's not that Min'er looks down on people easily, and it's not that Min'er looks down on her husband's family, Jizhou's place far away at the border, as a national defense line, the life of the Kishu palace must be free, not so much exquisite, not so much decency that needs to be made to pretend to be seen by others.

Min'er once hoped that she could adapt to the luxurious life in the palace as soon as possible, but now in her opinion, the entire harem does not have the dignity that a royal should have, even Xiang Ye, he is not like an emperor at all, when she first came, she thought that the people in the whole palace were afraid of the emperor, but now she feels that the palace people are afraid of the "emperor", not Xiang Ye.

Qingya led people to retreat, the door of the palace was gently closed, the dormitory was quiet, Min'er curled up her fists again, closed her eyes and fell asleep, tomorrow is dawn, and then think about how she, the queen, should survive.

Early the next morning, the Queen Mother had breakfast in the Longevity Palace, Concubine Shu did not come, she thought that the emperor was in Anle Palace last night, and asked Mama Lin, only to know that the emperor did not go anywhere in the Qingming Pavilion, although Concubine Shu had been there, but she had retired early, and she didn't know what to say inside.

The Queen Mother put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "It's okay if she doesn't come, she is always so filial in front of me, I always feel that I should give her something, but Ye'er can't agree, it's better not to come again in the future, I can also have a quiet meal." ”

Mama smiled: "You have a lovely daughter-in-law now, and you don't look down on the lady concubine?" ”

The Queen Mother was disgusted: "What nonsense, Min'er didn't come from the sky, that child's filial piety is in his heart, and he is not pretentious at all." Of course, I'm not saying that Concubine Shu is pretentious, it's just that it has remained unchanged for so many years, and I am tired of her hard work, so why bother. On the contrary, if you are as comfortable as Min'er, everyone is relaxed, isn't it? ”

"In short, it's the queen mother, but others are not."

"You're talking nonsense again, so that the little girls have chewed their tongues, but it's not mine."

Mama Lin gave the Queen Mother a bowl of bird's nest soup, and said with a smile: "As a mother-in-law, how can there be anyone who is not partial, but you are partial to your daughter-in-law and not partial to your son, and the slave and maid have never seen it." ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "That bastard boy will only block me." ”

Mama Lin said with a serious expression: "Niangniang has not been in the palace for a long time, and she is young, but it will be different in a few years, not to mention whether she can be in love and harmony with the emperor, the position of the middle palace is there, the power of the harem, and the lady concubine will hand over sooner or later. To say that the lady concubine is not a bad person, for the palace and the harem for the past few years, there is no credit and hard work, I don't know how the queen will look at it, Niangniang is a decisive and simple person, I am afraid that it will be too simple and hurt people's hearts. ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "Okay, why are you making trouble for me to come up with this matter again, it's not very good at the moment, Min'er looks at it, and it doesn't look like she's willing to take power." ”

The master and servant chattered about these things, and the palace people at the bottom said that General Shen had returned to Beijing. For the sake of the hurricane, the emperor was out all summer, and he returned to Beijing early, leaving Shen Zhe to take care of the aftermath, and he had just returned.

The Queen Mother then ordered: "Tell him to pause, come in and see me." ”

In the Qingming Pavilion, the emperor took off his dragon robe and was fanning the wind with a fan to drive away the heat, and the palace people were busy coming forward to help, but he thought they were dizzy, and waved his hand and said: "Go down." ”

Not long after, Shen Zhe came to the door, a gentle and elegant person, it seemed that he would not be afraid of heat, he stood there coolly, provoking Xiang Ye to be disgusted: "Today's autumn tiger is very powerful, are you not afraid of heat?" ”

Shen Zhe said with a smile: "The courtier's court clothes are worn in summer, light and breathable, and the emperor's layers of dragon robes are on his body, so they are naturally hotter." ”

Xiang Ye shook his head mockingly, yes, wearing a dragon robe is really tiring, and he hasn't gotten used to it for more than three years. He sighed: "Maybe I don't deserve to be an emperor." ”

Shen Zhe's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Why did the emperor say this, and where should the minister put himself?" ”

Xiang Ye sneered: "After stepping on the Xuanzheng Palace, the moment the king came to the world, there was not a moment of stopping in this day, and the whole world fell on my head. As the years have passed, I have asked myself to be a diligent ruler, but aside from the government, the affairs of the family are all a mess. ”

Shen Zhe was a little relieved when he heard these words, and the emperor continued: "Yesterday, Huiyi came to make a fuss again, making me lose face in front of the queen, and in the middle of the night, Concubine Shu came to say some inexplicable words to me, and Xiang Hong's child, how could he be so violent at such a young age, and he actually wanted to burn the palace maid to death?" I am already flawless for the sake of the government, what should I do with the affairs of the family, what is the harem of those emperors in the past? ”

They came all the way to the capital from the free and easy Jishu, and even Shen Zhe had to admit that his current life was completely different from the past, and he couldn't adapt for a while, but in the end, he also got by. The emperor's harem looks calm and peaceful on the surface, but he doesn't know what's going on inside, but since his brother is so troubled, there must be a lot of problems.

"I never wanted to be a father, and I don't know how to be a father, but it's my responsibility." The emperor was able to confide in his younger brother, and he spit out these words that should not be said by an emperor.

"Zhe'er, I, the emperor, have failed very much, the country has a clear conscience, and when it comes to family affairs, I will ......"

The Emperor knocked on the table a little irritably, still unable to calm down because he couldn't find the fan.

Shen Zhe thought for a while and said: "The affairs of the harem may be borne by the lord of the harem, since the emperor has established the middle palace, the matter of the concubines of the six palaces, and the matter of raising the emperor's heir, should it be handed over to the queen mother?" The minister only knows that the middle palace of the emperors of the past dynasties is carefully selected, and the candidate woman has been trained by the family since she was a child How to become a queen, how to take on the responsibility of the harem, the emperors of the past, may not be better at dealing with these trivial matters than you, but they are just throwing their troubles to the lord of the harem. ”

Xiang Ye raised his eyes to look at his younger brother, Shen Zhe had no scruples, what happened in Qinzhou did not create a gap between the brothers, and more importantly, he and Qiu Min'er were innocent, if he deliberately avoided it, he would seem to be weak-hearted, sorry for Min'er's brightness.

He said: "Since the emperor has a queen, he should trust her." ”

Xiang Ye made an excuse: "She is still young, only eighteen years old, what can she bear?" ”

When Shen Zhe heard this, he shut up, since the emperor thought so, what else did he have to say.

At this time, Zhou Huai came into the door, and said inexplicably timidly: "Your Majesty, Qingya passed on the words of the queen's mother, and asked the servants to ask the emperor for instructions, and the mother wanted to summon the historian to the Shangyang Palace to meet him, not whether the emperor would agree." ”

Xiang Ye was really surprised: "Historian, what did she do when she saw the historian?" ”

Even Shen Zhe thought it was interesting, but he couldn't show it on his face, and as soon as Qinzhou Manor said goodbye, he put Min'er down. He didn't go to Yuanzhou for more than three years to find the woman who haunted him, on the other hand, he didn't love as deep and thorough at all, but he didn't like these pampered daughters in the capital, so he used the girl who was just a one-sided relationship as an excuse.

Shen Zhe convinced himself like this, it must be like this, he must let go, he is not qualified to love a woman like Min'er.

The emperor agreed, probably because he was curious about what Qiu Min'er was doing when he saw the historian, but when he thought that anyone in Shangyang Hall could go to it now, he didn't feel good in his heart. These days, he let Min'er everywhere, in order to make her laugh, even if he is unhappy, he will not attack, although he is willing, but that person still doesn't even look at him.

Mother always said that her daughter-in-law was gentle and considerate, and she couldn't get enough of it when she laughed, but Xiang Ye had never seen it or felt it, and everyone's praise for Min'er made him feel uneasy.

However, on this side, Min'er didn't let the historian enter the Shangyang Palace, she sat down in the pavilion by the Taiye Pool early, and when the chamberlain brought the historian over, Min'er's eyes lit up, and she said bluntly: "I thought the historians were all gray-haired old men, but adults are so young." ”

But seeing the historian Song Yuan saluting the queen, some palace maids set up a light gauze screen outside the pavilion, and they could only vaguely look at each other, but they could also see that it was a young man, not an old man with a long beard and white hair.

After the establishment of the Great Qi, he took his father's place as a historian, and compiled historical books to record today's events on weekdays, which is a very peaceful and pure errand, but also bears the heavy responsibility of historical inheritance.

Min'er came to the historian, just because in the past ten years, she followed her grandmother to live in Yuanzhou, although under the teaching of her grandmother who was born in a scholarly family, she knew the ancient teachings of the sage, and was familiar with qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she knew very little about things outside Yuanzhou.

Originally, if you don't know the world, you can be a pure person, and even your grandmother thinks that they will live in Yuanzhou for the rest of their lives, so it is okay not to know the changes in the outside world.

However, Min'er is now the queen, and although she can't be in harmony with the emperor, and is even afraid of him, she is determined to live well as the queen from the moment she stepped into the palace gate, no, the moment she left Yuanzhou.

So what has happened in the past ten years, why the Zhao State perished, and how the Great Qi was established, she has to know.

Song Yuan looks stereotypical, but he is actually a very funny person, the queen will condescend to listen to him talk about history, so that he, a person who is not valued or even despised by other court officials, has a sense of responsibility, his words are relaxed and humorous, and he tells Min'er about the events of the past twenty years, which is not boring at all or boring, and even with a few elegant people, they are also fascinated.

So that the emperor didn't notice it, Xiang Ye took Zhou Huai to step here, and saw Min'er only seeing the historian in the pavilion, and he was happy in his heart, but when he got closer, he saw her beautiful side face, smiling slightly through the screen, and the joy on his face was never seen for herself, she looked very happy, but all this had nothing to do with him.

The emperor's brows were tightly tangled together, and he strode towards the empress.
