Chapter 101: The Queen Mother's Intentions
What's more, Concubine Ling, Concubine He, Concubine Ya, and even Yu Lancairen, they are all people she cultivated single-handedly, if she really exercises the power of a country, I am afraid that she will be fried. These people can't see themselves as good in the first place, and they must be stumbling everywhere, tying rafts, and bringing up meat and vegetables with cold and hot food, enough to drink a pot for themselves.
Therefore, the Queen Mother tried several times openly and secretly, but Yuehua resolutely refused without the slightest hesitation. Later, the Queen Mother often got cheap and behaved, and complained twice in front of the concubines, and Yuehua had to accompany the smiling face, like this time, to make a profound review.
This is something that everyone knows.
It's just that!
Every time she mentioned it in the past, Concubine Ling almost always raised her eyebrows coldly, like a hen protecting her food, and she couldn't wait to get all the feathers on her body, lest she Chu Yuehua really nodded and snatched this power from the Queen Mother.
Why is it so abnormal today, and he wants to interfere in the affairs of the harem by himself?
As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, no matter what, this is a thankless errand, and I resolutely can't deal with it.
Yuehua smiled gently: "This is really brewing in the heart of this palace for a long time, and I have never dared to say it, lest I break some ancestral rules." In fact, the concubine's sister has always been the queen mother, and she is the old man in this palace, if she talks about her skills, she is even better, and Yuehua has long had the intention of recommending her sister. ”
"Ridiculous!" Before the words fell, the Queen Mother immediately turned displeased: "You are the queen, this is your errand to take charge of the six palaces, what kind of thing is it for you to pass the buck to others?" ”
Yuehua was a little tempted, and when she saw that the Queen Mother was categorical, she understood that the Queen Mother really wanted to let herself go through this troubled water. Otherwise, he took the initiative to recommend Concubine Ling, sincerely, Concubine Ling couldn't wait to climb up the pole.
She is not afraid of taking charge of the affairs of the palace, if it is really like what Concubine Ling said, she can be handy in a few days. It's just that now, it's not the time.
The first and most important point is that in Mo Guhan's heart, he must not like that he shows too much desire for power, if he takes over recklessly at this time, the Queen Mother will instigate a few words behind her back, and all the efforts she has made in the past will be in vain.
Second, the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling sang and harmonized, and they cooperated seamlessly, and it was clearly a trap, and I don't know what the intention is. If they deliberately set a trap and frame themselves, they can't be guarded at all, and they can't be opponents.
Since the time is not ripe, it is the best policy to hide if you can. If you really can't escape, the Queen Mother insists on wanting so, so she rises to the challenge, and if she really seizes this power, it's not impossible!
She Chu Yuehua is indifferent and never provokes right and wrong, but she is definitely not afraid of things.
Controlling themselves has long been the target of public criticism, and they will not back down because of their forbearance. Even if she shirked this responsibility, it would be difficult to resist the open guns and arrows from other directions.
Now that he has lost the trust of the Empress Dowager, Mo Guhan is also in danger, if he has some power in his hands and works hard, he can protect himself.
Let's try to find out what the Queen Mother's intentions are, and then it's not too late to make plans.
Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled, and owed her body: "The queen mother is angry, for this six palaces, Yuehua has never done any drudgery, but feels that it is an honor, to be trusted by the queen mother and the emperor, the queen mother relies on it, but it is a great glory, unattainable." So when I saw the Queen Mother so tired, I couldn't help but think of Concubine Ling. Listening to what your old man said, I knew that there was such an ancestral convention, and I would never mention it again in the future, let alone bother Concubine Ling. ”
Yuehua took a detour for a while, crowned with the ancestral family law, and affirmed the excuse of the queen mother, which was to cut off Concubine Ling's thoughts on this matter.
Concubine Ling was obviously choked, and her face was extremely ugly.
The Queen Mother coughed lightly: "This matter is both a glory and a thankless errand, it is rare for the queen to think like this, and the mourning family is extremely pleased." It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of mundane things, and I can't say that I can leave everything to you at once, especially ah, some things are very important, and you can't be sloppy at all. ”
The main topic finally came, and Yuehua was as kind as a stream: "Yuehua listens to the instructions of the Queen Mother, so she will be an errand messenger, and she can help your old man share his worries." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "The errand of running errands and passing on words is naturally done by minions, how can the queen do such a thing?" I have always heard that the queen is a clever person, so if it is like this, at the end of the year, the internal affairs office needs to purchase a product, arrange the palace inside and outside, some trivial things are naturally in charge of the eunuch in charge, the queen is responsible for guiding and correcting, what do you think? ”
Yuehua naturally knows what kind of errand this is, it is a little harder than running errands and passing words, and it is also the most prone to mistakes, after all, there are the most rules in the palace, and he still knows a little about it, even if he is blatantly plotted, I am afraid that he does not understand the doorway.
Yuehua is not afraid of hard work, but the Queen Mother only picked such an errand for herself, so it is hard to guarantee that she doesn't have any ideas.
"I can share it for the queen mother, Yuehua can't ask for it, but for the rules in the palace, Yuehua knows a little about it, and I'm afraid that I will be frizzy and make any mistakes."
"It's not strange if you don't know, besides, each palace has a special steward and eunuch, and they are all clear about how to arrange it year after year, so you just need to check if there are any omissions. If there are any fresh tricks, just use them, and the fresher ones will have a new atmosphere. The Queen Mother said very happily.
Yuehua got the right words, and in front of everyone, she let go of half of her heart and happily accepted the order.
On the same day, Yuehua took office, and after she came back from the Queen Mother's request, various stewards and eunuchs came to ask for instructions on specific matters, and there were many unclear ones, so Yuehua had to follow each other to see and discuss and decide together. At the end of the day, my muscles and bones were sore, I was exhausted, and I couldn't even wash up, so I was carried to bed and paralyzed.
On the second day, she understood that those stewards had been instructed by the Queen Mother to deliberately make a big fuss about some things, so that she could work everywhere and not be idle for a moment.
There was a little eunuch whispering behind her back, and she overheard it in her ears: "Such a trivial errand is specially handled by the chief eunuch every year, why did the Queen Mother hand it over to the queen mother to personally supervise it this year?" And the big thing can be done according to the practice of previous years, and we have to ask the queen to check and decide in person, and we have to wait with our eyes. ”
"What do you know? The lice on the bald man's head are a clear thing. The queen mother, just to keep all the ladies in the palace busy, so that there will be no time to make trouble, and there will be no time to compete for favor in front of the emperor. Wouldn't she be at ease? ”
Yuehua naturally immediately understood the Queen Mother's thoughts. I smiled bitterly in my heart, feeling that the Queen Mother had wasted her efforts. Mo Guhan was so disgusted with himself, and he nested in the Qingqiu Palace in peace, never moving around, and he had only seen Mo Guhan a few times after entering the palace for nearly three months. Where did she need to go to such great lengths to support herself?
She didn't feel much averse to this errand in her heart, although the weather in the month of Layue was colder, especially when the other concubines in the palace were all in their palaces, holding the stove and enjoying themselves, she ran around in the palace, a little ironic. But he was quite busy, and he also got acquainted with the stewards of various departments in the palace, and learned their background and temperament from the gossip of some little eunuchs when chatting.
Several people in Qingqiu Palace complained about this, especially watching Yuehua go out early and return late, they were very distressed. They persuaded Yuehua to go to the emperor to deliver a message and unload this tedious errand.
Yuehua could only smile, she knew that she had a few catties and taels in Mo Guhan's heart, and if she showed the slightest complaint to the Queen Mother in front of him, she would provoke Mo Guhan's disgust. The Queen Mother is not, the Queen Mother can say it, Mo Guhan can say it, but she can't speak.
Yuehua worked hard and did her best to handle all the things that the Queen Mother had explained. And because she was worried that there would be another trap in it, she was also cautious, and she would inevitably go to the Queen Mother's Ci'an Palace every day to report the day's work, and everything was returned to the Queen Mother to know.
The Queen Mother became more and more impatient, Mo said that she was finding fault with it, and even felt that her head was big when she listened to it, so she could only blindly bow her head, and finally praise a few words of anger.
Later, when the Empress Dowager heard Mama Lin talk about this, she just laughed it off and ordered: "The queen should be let see for a long time." ”
