Chapter 823: The Ruthless Queen

It's just two palace lights, my uncle's daughter likes it, the emperor can't give anything, no one takes it seriously, but it makes Lingzhao extremely disappointed.

This lamp is her heart for Xuan Ye, the emperor said that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet should be decent, but not too extravagant and vulgar, she thought for a long time before she thought of changing the lanterns in the palace.

And inside and outside the Qianqing Palace, the emperor would walk under the lamp every day, and Ling Zhao thought to himself that every night from now on, the lights could illuminate the road under Xuanye's feet.

However, he casually took the palace lamp to reward people, and the person who rewarded it was likely to take away more things belonging to Lingzhao in the future, after all, everyone understands now that the little girl of the Tong family will enter the palace sooner or later.

The banquet dispersed, and Ling Zhao took care of all the aftermath, walked along the palace road to Yikun Palace, passing through the west gate of Kunning Palace, which had already been locked, and today on the fifteenth, the emperor customarily stayed in Kunning Palace.

Ling Zhao looked back and saw the bright lights, and gradually lost his eyes, and suddenly felt that all this prosperity was so ethereal.

The next morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs counted all the utensils on the banquet, so meticulous that a pair of chopsticks had to be counted, and after they reported them one by one, Ling Zhao said: "Replace all the palace lamps with the original ones, these glass lamps are too luxurious, and they can be used once in a while for the festival." ”

The people from the Internal Affairs Office asked: "Have you also withdrawn from the Qianqing Palace?" You once said that this lantern is not afraid of wind and rain, and it is most suitable for lighting the emperor in the Qianqing Palace. ”

Ling Zhao bowed: "It's all withdrawn." ”

They received the decree and immediately went to run an errand, and two hours later, they came back to report the number of palace lamps, saying that the two lamps that were missing were given by the emperor to the young lady of the Tong family last night.

Hearing these words again, Ling Zhao's heart tingled a little more, she never wanted to see these palace lamps again, and said coldly: "Locked in the warehouse." ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye reviewed a bunch of excerpts, asked about Da Lizi's arrangements for the afternoon, and took time out to invite a few children of the family to enter the palace to wrestle and exercise.

Da Li Zi carefully arranged, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the people from the Internal Affairs Office have just come, and at the behest of Concubine Zhao, the glass lamp has been changed back." ”

Xuan Ye didn't care: "Got it." ”

Da Li Zi wanted to speak and stopped, but he still closed his mouth and quietly retreated.

He stood under the eaves, looking at the lanterns that had returned to their original appearance, and sighed in his heart that Concubine Zhao was also awkward.

If this matter is arranged by the queen's mother, she will be unhappy that the emperor has ruined her mind, and she will definitely talk about it afterwards, and if she is awkward, she will make trouble in front of the emperor.

But Concubine Zhao had to hold back, she was angry with herself, and in the end, the people who should know didn't know, and the people who didn't know who should know were laughing at her behind her back.

Let's say that Shu Shu's mother, because she was unwell during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was unable to enter the palace for the banquet, and Xuan Ye has been thinking about it.

In addition to sending the imperial doctor to treat and take care of her, at the end of the month, when she finally waited for her mother-in-law to recover, she ordered someone to use a sedan chair to carry her into the palace.

The last time the mother and daughter met, it was a few days when Shu Shu was pregnant and had serious joy, and when they met again after a few months, Shu Shu's complexion improved, and she became fatter, and finally looked like a pregnant woman.

The mother was happy and distressed, and the mother and daughter said a lot of intimate words, and the lady saw that the queen's bedroom was the same as before, and there were no children's things, so she asked: "Niang Niang doesn't plan to keep the child in the house?" ”

Shu Shu said: "I'm still hesitating, Eniang, I'm thinking about whether it is important to raise the child in person, or to be close to the emperor." ”

Mrs. bowed: "Yes, the milk doll cries day and night, and there is no accurate number." The emperor has all the opportunities every day, he comes to rest at night, the first two times are still fresh, and then he should be annoyed, and if he is annoyed, he will not come again. ”

Shu Shu said: "What E-Niang said is exactly what I thought, although when the emperor came up, he ordered someone to take the child away, but after all, it was not as comfortable as in the past." ”

The lady asked, "Does the mother mean to take the child to the elder brother's office?" But isn't this too deliberate? Others should say that the queen can even give up her children in order to fix her favor. ”

Shu Shu smiled: "E-Niang has been in charge for a few years, but she is much more shrewd than before." ”

Madame said angrily: "No, my daughter has become the queen, how can I still be as stupid as before." ”

Shu Shu leaned comfortably on the pillow, felt the little thing in his abdomen moving, and said to his mother: "The first few months were too uncomfortable, I didn't care about how the child was, but these days I am comfortable, and I feel that the child is in the body, Eniang, I have feelings for the child." ”

Madame said, "Yes, you will still hesitate now, and when the child lands, you will only be reluctant." ”

"But I can't be reluctant, people can only have feelings when they are together." Shu Shu said, "If you are separated from the emperor for a long time, your feelings will inevitably be affected, and what is indestructible." ”

Mrs. was very distressed: "What are you going to do, you can fulfill your wishes, and you don't let outsiders gossip." ”

Shu Shu said: "I want to ask the Empress Dowager to ask the Empress Dowager to come forward, I'm afraid."

She remembered that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Cining Palace, Shu Shu clearly heard that there was no movement outside, and a little palace maid came to tell her that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager went to take a walk in the garden in front of her.

But not long after, the Empress Dowager suddenly came back, and quietly, at that moment, Shu Shu clearly realized that this is the imperial city, where the supreme of the world is, and the king is like a tiger.

Shu Shu said: "Eniang, I can be exquisite in front of anyone, but I must be frank with the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”

On this day and night, the emperor turned over the sign of Yikun Palace, and Shu Shu went to bed early, but the small things in her stomach were churning so badly that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

After Shu Shu became pregnant, Xuan Ye went to Yikun Palace for a long time, and naturally there was his political purpose, but Shu Shu believed that Niu Hulu Lingzhao must have a place where she could make Xuan Ye look into his eyes.

Although Concubine Zhao's personality is not pleasant, and Xuan Ye always says that she doesn't like her in front of her, but out of ten points, seven or eight points are true, and the other three points are mostly Xuan Ye in order to make himself feel at ease.

Shu Shu touched her bulging belly and said to the doll in her womb: "Don't blame Eniang for being ruthless, good boy, Eniang's youth will soon pass, Eniang wants to be by Huang Ama's side more." When these years have passed, E-Niang will take you back and teach you to read and write in person, so as to protect you as an adult. ”

The autumn breeze is getting cooler, during the Double Ninth Festival, the Forbidden City is already paved with red leaves, the Empress Dowager likes to take a walk in the garden at this time, Xuan Ye scatters the back, and takes time to accompany her grandmother for a walk, but in her eyes, she always looks at the big belly poop on the side, and gradually feels a little clumsy.

After walking for half an hour, Yu'er was also tired, and took the emperor and queen to sit down in the pavilion, but said to Xuan Ye: "You have a cup of tea, go back, anyway, you are here, and there is only Shu Shu in your eyes." ”

Xuan Ye said: "Imperial grandmother, she has a round face now, isn't she particularly cute." ”

Shu Shu's cheeks immediately turned red, and he was annoyed that Xuanye said such frivolous words in front of the Empress Dowager, but he didn't dare to blame the emperor because of his grandmother's presence.

Yu'er said angrily: "There are no rules, Shu Shu is your queen, if someone else is there, make such a casual joke, and tell her where to put her face." ”

Xuan Ye disagreed: "It's not that there are no outsiders." ”

Yu'er was disgusted and scolded him: "Get busy, don't make people suspicious here." ”

Xuan Ye happily agreed, and when he left, he also told Shu Shu: "It's cold, you can't be tired, and the imperial grandmother can't catch a cold, don't sit for too long." ”

Shu Shu didn't make a sound, he was afraid that he would also fall frivolous and unruly, so he only waited for the emperor to leave before he said to the empress dowager: "The emperor is happy, sometimes he speaks without proportion, grandmother, don't be angry, your grandson will remind the emperor in the future." ”

Yu'er smiled: "Xuan Ye is happy, I am naturally happy, there is nothing wrong, not to mention that you are sensible." ”

Shu Shu pursed his lips and gave Su Mala a look, Su Mala understood, and took the palace maids who were waiting on the side out of the pavilion.

When Yu'er saw this posture, she asked, "Is there something important?" ”

Shu Shu plucked up his courage: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson wants to ask you for something." ”

She hoped that the Empress Dowager would come forward, on the grounds that the queen herself was too young to raise the imperial heir, and after Shu Shu gave birth, whether it was an elder brother or a princess, she would be sent to her elder brother to raise.

In this way, Shu Shu can be as close to Xuan Ye as before, and he doesn't have to worry about what others say.

What's more, she is indeed young, and this reason could not be better.

Yu'er drank tea slowly, the queen's request reminded her of her aunt, when her aunt couldn't give birth to a son, in despair and helplessness, she couldn't mention her mother's love at all, even Huang Taiji knew that only she treated her daughter as a baby.

But right now, in order to consolidate her relationship with the emperor, the queen can ruthlessly not stay by her side, regardless of her son or daughter, and she can still have the courage to say it to herself herself.

"Aren't you afraid I'll be angry?" Yu'er put down the teacup and said, "Xuanye's aunts, I brought them up with my own hands, Shengjing's palace is very much separated by a screen in the palace, the children are at that end, Taizong and I are at this end, and I have raised three daughters, all of them." ”
