When she came back, she suddenly saw that the six palaces were different from before. All the people only know that there is Wan Zhen'er, but they don't know that there are two queen mothers. I only know that there are ten thousand noble people, but I don't know that there are others.

Empress Dowager Zhou was very angry, so she asked people what happened.

At that moment, the palace maids and eunuchs under her staff spoke to her in a gossipy, and finally let her understand what was going on.

It turned out that Wan Zhen'er was favored by the emperor, so the talents in this harem are so red and white.

And Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it and felt that Wan Zhen'er was always the one who went out on her side. But she was also skeptical about Empress Wu's original death.

She saw that Wan Zhen'er had no one in her eyes now, and after thinking about it, she felt that this was not a solution.

After all, she is the emperor's biological mother, and when she is still alive, she can be regarded as the master of the six palaces. If other people want to compete with themselves for power in these six houses, how can she tolerate sand in her eyes. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhou specially summoned Wan Zhen'er over.

After Wan Zhen'er heard that the Empress Dowager Zhou had returned from Mount Tai to incense, she knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou would summon herself soon. So she had been mentally prepared for a long time.

On this day, I heard that the confidant eunuch next to the Empress Dowager Zhou came to pass the decree, saying that the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to see Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly changed her clothes, changed into the more plain clothes she usually wore, and then went to see the Empress Dowager Zhou.

When Wan Zhen'er saw the Empress Dowager Zhou, she knelt down and said in a loud voice: "The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, the Queen Mother has worked hard to come back from Mount Tai to incense. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou usually likes to hear others say good things about her, and she was a little happy when she heard Wan Zhen'er say this.

But she remembered the rumors she heard from the palace recently, and still asked Wan Zhen'er: "Wan Guiren, there have been some rumors in the palace recently, all about you." The mourning family passed you over, and they also wanted to ask you, what is going on? ”

Wan Zhen'er stood up, walked to the Queen Mother respectfully, and said with low eyebrows: "Queen Mother, you don't know about the things in the palace, the things in the palace have always been groundless. Because Zhen'er was favored by the emperor in this palace, many people looked at Zhen'er unpleasantly. So he spread rumors behind his back to hurt Zhen'er. Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the slaves. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Wan Zhen'er with some surprise. She was only skeptical about what Wan Zhen'er said, she said, "Is this really the case? ”

Wan Zhen'er said repeatedly: "Queen Mother, I am the one who served you, and I went out by your side, don't you know what kind of person I am?" What's more, now that I am favored by the emperor, it is also the emperor's filial piety to the queen mother, your biological mother, so he takes good care of the people around you. The emperor favors me because of you. But there are many people in the palace, and they are really dissatisfied with me, which means that they are not satisfied with the Queen Mother. Queen Mother, think about it, I am the person who went out next to you, and many people are not convinced by the Queen Mother, but they dare not speak out, so they use the excuse to make me angry. ”

Wan Zhen'er said this, but it provoked a piece of the Empress Dowager Zhou's heart, and the Empress Dowager Zhou has always felt that the former Empress Dowager is targeting herself everywhere.

She glanced at Wan Zhen'er and asked hatefully: "Who is the person you are talking about, is it the former queen mother?" ”

"Zhen'er doesn't dare to say more, Queen Mother, this thing in the harem. It has always been ruled by the queen mother and the eldest princess of your two palaces. Zhen'er is just a little nobleman, how dare she chew the root of her tongue in front of you? Zhen'er just wants you to understand that things are not as rumored by outsiders, and Zhen'er has reverence for the Queen Mother in her heart. ”

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard Wan Zhen'er say this, she slowly shook her head and said, "That's it, since that's the case, the mourning family doesn't plan to pursue you, not to mention, the mourning family can also trust you." By the way, I heard that the emperor has been very fond of you recently, so what is the reason for this? ”

Wan Zhen'er's face turned very pale, she didn't expect Queen Zhou to suddenly ask her this question. Of course, she didn't dare to tell the Queen Mother about the fact that she had used a descending technique on the emperor.

She thought about it, and said to the Queen Mother: "Niangniang, this matter, in fact, is also a coincidence. ”

"Oh? What is the coincidence? Empress Dowager Zhou said from the side.

Wan Zhen'er didn't think of how to answer the Empress Dowager Zhou at all, so she deliberately said that to delay time.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou asked, she had to bite the bullet and make up nonsense: "Here's the thing, I heard the eldest princess say that Tang was shocked that Miss Tang died, so the emperor was very sad in his heart." Because that Tang was shocked that Miss Tang had known the slave maid when she was alive. The emperor misses her very much, so the emperor has been coming to my Yonghe Palace. I kept explaining and comforting the emperor, and the emperor slowly came out of the shadow of losing the Tang frightened girl, but slowly accepted me. This is something that the slave maid did not expect. ”

"I see." Empress Dowager Zhou's complexion suddenly eased a lot.

She has always been very dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor likes Tang Jingran, and sometimes she even thinks that this is a conspiracy of Jian Huaizhen.

After all, Jian Huaizhen is the eldest princess in the palace, not the queen mother of the two palaces. The affairs of being in charge of the harem have always been the responsibility of the queen mother of the two palaces.

Although sometimes Jian Huaizhen intervened, which made the queen mother of the two palaces dissatisfied. Especially the Empress Dowager Zhou, so sometimes the Empress Dowager Zhou will feel that what happened to Tang was simply a conspiracy arranged by Jian Huaizhen.

She wants the emperor to like Tang Jingran, and then let Tang Jingran try to control the harem, and then this harem will become her world.

Because before the Queen Mother of Zhou, she once harmed people and was full of conspiracy, so when she thought about others, she often treated others with herself, thinking that people in the world were like her, and they were all conspiracies

And Wan Zhen'er is a person here, so Wan Zhen'er has always been very fond of the Queen Mother Zhou's spleen and stomach, which is the same smell.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou said to Wan Zhen'er, she still has a heart in her heart, that is, the emperor still has no heirs.

So she still said to Wan Zhen'er: "Wan Guiren, although the emperor is so lucky to you now, but, at your age-"

The implication of Empress Dowager Zhou's words is that Wan Zhen'er is already very old, and she has had an abortion before, so it may not be so easy to get pregnant in the future.

The Empress Dowager Zhou said that she would stop talking about it and let Wan Zhen'er experience it herself.

Wan Zhen'er is so smart, how she doesn't understand the meaning of Empress Dowager Zhou's words.

Sure enough, she hurriedly gave a salute and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, the slave and maid must persuade the emperor to be wet with rain and dew, and in this harem, pamper other concubines." In this way, we can ensure that the royal family of my Ming Dynasty has children to inherit. ”

"You are really a sensible child, okay, the mourning family is also a little tired today, you can retreat."

Empress Dowager Zhou held her head with her hand, showing a very tired look, waved her hand, and ordered Wan Zhen'er to go down first.

After Wan Zhen'er came out of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

She knows that the Empress Dowager Zhou is now the emperor's biological mother, and the Empress Dowager Zhou has always been very cautious and jealous.

If you can't deal with it well, let the Empress Dowager Zhou grasp something, then there will be no place to die.

Fortunately, she was very alert in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou at that time, and finally passed this level.

Now, the Empress Dowager Zhou has completely believed in her, so her life in this harem will be much better.

However, Empress Dowager Zhou's words also made Wan Zhen'er feel a little unhappy in her heart, that is, Empress Dowager Zhou asked Wan Zhen'er to persuade the emperor to be wet with rain and dew in this harem, and to spoil other concubines.

Wan Zhen'er felt that some of what the Empress Dowager Zhou said was still right, that is, the Empress Dowager Zhou said that she was already very old, and it was impossible to get pregnant in the future.

Wan Zhen'er thought that if this was the case, if the other concubines in the harem were pregnant, wouldn't they have a good life in the future.

She shuddered at the thought of this. Because she knows that if others become queens in the future and become queen mothers, then she will be unlucky in the future.

So Wan Zhen'er thought of a way, she decided to wait until the emperor came to Yonghe Palace again in the evening, and then went to ask the emperor to ask the emperor to give her the queen.

In the evening of this day, the emperor really came to Yonghe Palace. Eight

The emperor has been in this Yonghe Palace for several days. But he became more and more infatuated with this Wan Zhen'er, and became more and more pampered, not only did he not get tired of it, but felt that he couldn't leave Wan Zhen'er for a moment.

Wan Zhen'er saw that the emperor had arrived as scheduled, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why are you here so early today?" I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a few of your favorite side dishes for you, and how about the slave and maid accompany the emperor to drink at night? ”

"Okay, good, as long as it's what you like to do, it's okay, as long as you like it, you like it."

At this moment, Zhu Jianshen's heart has basically completely erased the memory of Tang Jingran, he only feels that he once liked someone, and that person seems to be the Wan Zhen'er he likes in front of him.

He doesn't remember many things at all, but he's just in love, and in other things, his mind is still as clear as ever.

Wan Zhen'er ordered the small kitchen to serve a few dishes that the emperor liked to eat, and then sat down, she added a glass of wine to the emperor in the jade cup, put her hands up in front of the emperor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please drink a glass of wine." ”

Zhu Jianshen took the wine glass, raised it and drank it, and said to Wan Zhen'er: "This wine is good wine, I don't know where it is?" ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, this is a good wine specially prepared for you by the concubines, as for where the wine is, I am allowed to sell it without telling you first." If the concubine tells you, then you will go to find wine to drink by yourself in the future, and you will not often come to the concubine's Yonghe Palace. ”

"How so?" Zhu Jianshen took her into his arms and said to her: "Lianxin only likes you alone, and the others in the harem don't like it." Therefore, Lian Fei will not only come to your Yonghe Palace every day in the future, but also come back every day. But don't get bored with the couplet. ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard this, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly bowed. said to him: "Your Majesty, please don't say that, how dare the emperor be bored with his concubines, it's too late for the concubines to be happy." The concubine emperor only hopes that the emperor will be in my Yonghe Palace day and night, and I will be able to stay with the emperor all the time. This is the greatest blessing in Zhen'er's life. ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled and helped her up and said, "Okay, okay, look at what it scared you." Lian is just talking, how can you not know about Lian's thoughts? ”

After Wan Zhen'er helped the emperor sit down again, she sat there without saying a word.

Zhu Jianshen looked at her worriedly, as if she had encountered something. So he asked her, "Zhen'er, why are you a little different today than usual, as if something happened?" What's so unhappy about you? You might as well say to the couplet, as long as the union can do it, the union will do it for you. ”

"Your Majesty." When Wan Zhen'er heard Zhu Jianshen say this, she seemed to have been greatly wronged, and a pair of curved eyebrows suddenly frowned together.

She looked at Zhu Jianshen and said with tears in her eyes: "The emperor still doesn't ask me, there are some things that the concubine can't say, and the emperor can solve it for the concubine." ”

"Of course not, the United Nations is the Son of Heaven of a country, and the whole world is decided by the Alliance. There's nothing else that can't help you. Just say it, and the Union will do a good job for you. ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard the emperor say this, a smile reappeared on her face.

She said slowly to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, today the Empress Dowager Zhou summoned the concubines, and the Empress Dowager Zhou also said some words to the concubines, which made the concubines feel very uncomfortable. ”

"Oh? What did she call you to do, Mother? What did I say to you that made you feel uncomfortable? ”

As soon as Zhu Jianshen heard that this matter was related to the Empress Dowager Zhou, his face immediately became a little ugly.

There are a few people in this harem that he can't move, and one of them is his biological mother, the queen mother.

No matter what, the Empress Dowager Zhou is his biological mother, and no matter what the Empress Dowager Zhou does to her, he can only listen, let it, and accept it.

Although sometimes he can't do what the Queen Mother asks, he must not contradict the Queen Mother Zhou too much, and denying it is a big rebellion.

Wan Zhen'er saw that his face was embarrassed, so she said to him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think too much, in fact, the Empress Dowager Zhou didn't tell me anything, and the Empress Dowager Zhou praised me for serving me well." But Empress Dowager Zhou is now worried about the country's heirs, and she feels that Zhen'er and I are a little old, as if I can't get pregnant. So let me persuade you, Your Majesty, that you are wet with rain and dew. ”

"Oh, so that's the case, who said Zhen'er you can't have children in the future? Lian believes that as long as we work hard, you will soon have our child, and Lian must have a son for Lian. In the future, he will be canonized as the crown prince and make him emperor. ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard Zhu Jianshen say this, her heart was indescribably happy.

But she forcibly held back the excitement in her heart, and then said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, your words are good, but this matter is not as simple as we imagined. If I can't have a child as soon as possible, the Empress Dowager Zhou will definitely blame me, how should I deal with it then? ”

When Wan Zhen'er said these words, she was pitiful, her face was pale, and tears were about to fall on her face.

Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen hurriedly stepped forward and took out a roll from his sleeve and handed it to her and said, "Okay, okay, you wipe your tears first, otherwise it won't be beautiful if you spend your makeup." ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard this, she reached out and took the handscroll to wipe her tears.

"Okay, Zhen'er, don't think about it so much. In short, this matter will definitely be solved for you, and as for the queen mother, there is a joint support. You don't have to worry about anything. ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines are worried, it's really that the concubines are just a small nobleman now, anyone can punish the concubines, what more extravagant expectations and requirements do the concubines have? Do you remember the original Empress Wu? Empress Wu was angry, so she brought someone to beat Zhen'er with a board, but Zhen'er didn't say anything. What's more, now that Zhen'er has been favored by the emperor, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Zhen'er, hoping that Zhen'er will be rejected by the emperor as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, how can Lian be disgusted with you, it's too late for Lian to love you. Zhen'er, then what do you say, what can Lian do to make you feel at ease and stop thinking nonsense? ”

Zhu Jianshen stared at Wan Zhen'er, every time he stared at Wan Zhen'er's eyes, he would feel confused, and his mind would be confused by Wan Zhen'er.

This time, he stared at Wan Zhen'er's eyes again, and only felt that Wan Zhen'er's eyes were full of water, as if there was an elegant fairy in her eyes, and that fairy was none other than the Tang Jingran he knew at the beginning.

But Tang's shocked image quickly blurred again.

Wan Zhen'er said slowly to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, now that the country's throne is vacant, why don't you go and issue an edict to canonize your concubines as queens?" If the concubine becomes the queen, the concubines in the harem can have the final say, and they will no longer be bullied by others? ”

"What, to make you queen?"

Wan Zhen'er's request was really beyond Zhu Jianshen's expectations, and Zhu Jianshen felt very contradictory about Wan Zhen'er's opening to ask for the queen's position.

On the one hand, he couldn't bear to reject Wan Zhen'er, because he really liked and was too infatuated with Wan Zhen'er.

But on the one hand, he felt that this matter was not as simple as Wan Zhen'er thought, and the position of queen was not something Wan Zhen'er could have if she wanted it.

Because, if you want to canonize the queen, it is really important, and when the time comes, it will definitely attract a lot of discussion in the harem and the world, and he will have to face the catastrophe of the queen mother and the eldest princess.

If everyone in the palace is against Wan Zhen'er as the queen, then what Wan Zhen'er thinks about is just wishful thinking.

According to Zhu Jianshen's understanding of the ministers, he felt that nine times out of ten among the ministers, he would refuse this matter, because Wan Zhen'er's background was not good.

She is from the Qianhong Academy, and her family is not a famous family, just a lonely palace maid.

Zhu Jian thought about it for a long time, and always felt that this matter was not so reliable, but when he saw Wan Zhen'er's eager gaze, he felt soft-hearted for a while, and he didn't know how to tell Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er saw that his face was very hesitant, obviously unable to decide this matter, so she said to him: "Your Majesty, please fulfill your concubine, the concubine has no other excessive demands in her life." If the emperor doesn't give me the position of queen, I will be killed in this harem one day sooner or later. ”
