Chapter 261: Mention (II)
Wan Yanxi and Yun Qing were suddenly called over, originally Rong Cheng wanted to go with Yun Qing, but Yun Qing didn't let him.
She probably guessed that Liu Yan went to the Empress Dowager to complain, and if Rong Cheng went with her, the matter would only get worse.
Yunqing entered the ancestral hall of the palace for the first time, and this place was really clean. It's a pity that the Queen Mother can't do it without asking about mundane things after all.
The Empress Dowager first mentioned Wan Yanxi, and mentioned her with some family and country interests, identity levels, etc., and Wan Yanxi rarely lost her temper this time. Xu is a Buddha before a person's temper will converge three points. What's more, what the Queen Mother said, Wan Yanxi did listen to it, after all, the Queen Mother was sincere. After Yan Xi agreed to retreat, the Empress Dowager talked to Yun Qing alone.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Yun Qing and said with a smile: "I heard that the mourning family heard that you grew up in the countryside, and you can still grow such a water spirit in that kind of place, it is enough to see that you are extremely blessed." ”
"Thank you Empress Dowager for the compliment. ”
"The mourning family is telling the truth, and you are indeed a blessed child, Concubine Yun, the mourning family heard that you are the most favored in the harem now, right?"
"Your Majesty's love for concubines is a blessing for concubines. ”
"Yes, it is a great blessing to be a concubine to be favored by His Majesty! At this point, the mourning family is not as good as you, and when the mourning family was still a palace concubine, it was not very favored. There is only one son of the first emperor under his knees!"
Yun Qing didn't answer, and quietly waited for the Empress Dowager's next words.
The Empress Dowager continued: "Although the mourning family is old, I still clearly remember that there was a time when the Emperor was also the only concubine, just like you are now, and you can be called a special favorite. The concubine was originally honest and obedient, but later, after a long time, she was also pampered and arrogant, and she was spoiled all over her body, and she became a little lawless in the harem, completely out of proportion. ”
"What happened later?" In fact, Yun Qing probably guessed what the Empress Dowager wanted to say.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager said: "This flower is 500 days red, how can a harem woman be favored for a lifetime? Later, that concubine fell out of favor, because she offended too many people earlier, and she ended up ...... Say it, I'm afraid you can't imagine how miserable it is, the mourning family is now occasionally thinking about it, and they feel creepy. ”
"The concubine understands that everything can't just be regarded as a temporary favor, and it can be regarded as a real blessing if you can go to the end!"
"Count you as a smart boy!" Yun Qing's temperament is thorough, the Empress Dowager is quite satisfied, this Yun Concubine is favored, it doesn't seem to be completely unreasonable, but she still can't help but continue to advise: "And as a concubine in the harem, when you are favored, don't be public, the mourning family is here, and I have seen a lot of things in the harem, so I give you this advice!"
Yun Qing said carefully: "The concubine must follow the teachings!"
The Empress Dowager said the truth, where would Yun Qing not understand, but she was different from other concubines, where she cared about her status and status, if it was for these, Yun Qing would live more thoroughly than anyone else, and she would have persuaded Rong Cheng Yulu to protect herself well. But what she cares about is only Rong Cheng, if it weren't for Rong Cheng, or for her to be the queen, she would not be uncommon.
After all, she didn't need to think about her family or anything, for the sake of glory and wealth trapped in this palace wall, she didn't think about it so much.
No matter how transparent the Empress Dowager is, in some aspects she is still inferior to Yun Qing, who has lived for two lifetimes.
For example, she doesn't believe that there will be women who don't stay for glory, wealth, status, and so on.
The Empress Dowager saw that Yun Qing's attitude was vaguely perfunctory, and sneered: "The mourning family knows that you are now favored, young and vigorous, and you may not be able to take these words to heart in the mourning family, but after all, the emperor is the king of a country, and he wants to open up branches for the royal family, give birth to a few more princes, and in the future, it is good to choose the best among the many princes, which is also his responsibility!"
Yun Qing didn't answer, the Empress Dowager had experienced a lot of things, and she said what Yun Qing cared about in one sentence.
No matter how Rong Cheng says it, he is also the king of a country, can he really spoil her alone for the rest of his life? Even if she gives birth to Rong Cheng, can she really ensure that the child grows up safely and soundly in this harem? How many can she give birth?
In fact, he has been dominating Rong Cheng alone, Yun Qing has also felt uneasy in his heart, who made her husband not an ordinary man, but the king of this country, a responsibility, as the Empress Dowager said, to spread branches for the royal family, in order to consolidate the power of the court, to pamper other concubines, these are his responsibilities as an emperor.
Yun Qing secretly thought about this problem, in fact, if Rong Cheng was helpless and had children with other women, she would not be unable to accept it...... It's just that out of responsibility and without love, I can still understand him.
But after thinking about it clearly, Yun Qing was emotionally selfish like other women, that is, he couldn't say the words of letting Rong Cheng go to other women.
She won't say it in the future! Rong Cheng is sincere to her, what if she is selfish?
Who knew that the Empress Dowager's next sentence was like a boulder rolling down and smashing heavily into Yun Qing's heart.
The Queen Mother said: "The women of this harem are like that delicate flower, how can there be a reason for a hundred days of redness? You are young, you still don't know enough about men, men are not without single-mindedness, but this so-called single-mindedness also has a time limit, maybe a few days, maybe a year, maybe more than ten years, this is the bad root of human nature, it's like, anything will be used for a long time, it will be tired!"
Yun Qing wanted to say something, but found that he had no way to refute it, and the Empress Dowager was telling the truth.
Seeing that Yunqing seemed to listen, the Empress Dowager said again: "If it is the kind of poor family in the people, who has no money to marry a lot of wives and concubines, maybe they will live a lifetime of monogamy, your husband is the emperor, it is no exaggeration to say that if he wants, all the women in the world can line up for him to choose." The mourning family does not deny that he can like you among these concubines now, or because you are different from others for him, and if there is a more different person than you in the future, how long can the freshness brought by your difference be maintained?"
Yunqing: "......"
Seeing that she seemed to want to speak and stopped, the Empress Dowager said: "If you have anything to say, just say that the mourning family called you over today, and it was not an order for you, so you should talk about it." ”
Yun Qing said: "The concubines understand the truth you said, but the concubines don't ask for anything else, only a sincerity!"
Yunqing herself thinks this is ridiculous, but it is her true words now.
The Empress Dowager did not laugh at her, but asked rhetorically: "It seems that the mourning family has underestimated you, and you treat Your Majesty with sincerity! But if you really like Your Majesty, why don't you persuade him to fulfill his responsibilities? If you like it, is it narrow here? If you are for wealth and glory, then you should not occupy Your Majesty alone." ”
"However, Your Majesty treats the concubines sincerely, what you are worried about, the concubines are pampered and arrogant, the concubines will not do it, if one day Your Majesty himself is ready to be fortunate with the other sisters, the concubines will not stop it, please rest assured. ”
"The mourning family believes you, if Your Majesty really favors other concubines, it is not something you can stop, but you think that Your Majesty is sincere to you, and the Mourning family still has to persuade you to ......" The Empress Dowager smiled: "Men like our women, some because of their appearance, some because of their interior, and some because you have a special meaning to him, but no matter which one it is, it is not irreplaceable." ”
Yun Qing: "If the meaning is different, can it be replaced?" Yun Qing knew in his heart that the reason why Rong Cheng was sincere to himself, in the final analysis, was largely because he was different from him.
The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly: "Of course, he may meet the next woman who means different things to him, besides, this meaning is different, is it liking, or is it just because of the different meaning, he mistakenly thinks that he can't do without you, can you tell clearly?"
Yunqing: "......"
She wanted to ask, is there any difference between this? But the Empress Dowager's words were really like a boulder hammering down on her heart.
It's not that Yun Qing doesn't trust Rong Cheng, she is just afraid, Rong Cheng himself can't figure out whether he likes the difference or not.
This ginger is still old and spicy, and the Empress Dowager still made Yunqing a little shaken in the end.
Before retiring, the Empress Dowager said the last sentence to Yun Qing: "A woman's long-term plan to let a man remember you is to understand the general situation, rather than blindly keeping him by her side, you are now in the sole favor of God, and don't forget to persuade Your Majesty to fulfill his responsibilities! In this way, if you wait until the time comes, Your Majesty's freshness to you has passed, and you will still remember your share of benefits, as long as you don't get stupid to go home in the future, the end will not be too bleak!"
Yun Qing felt a little annoyed, and after returning to Yunrong Palace, Rong Cheng had not left yet, and when he saw her coming back, he stepped forward and said, "What did grandma say to you?"
Yun Qing said: "Just let me not be pampered and arrogant, and kindly reminded me a few words." ”
"That's good!" Rong Cheng said: "Grandma is old after all, and Lady Lao listens to her a few more words, even if it is to make a show on her face, so that she can feel at ease." ”
Yun Qing sneered: "If you pamper the other concubines and give birth to children with them, the Empress Dowager is afraid that she will be completely relieved!"
Rong Cheng: "......"
I'm afraid he can't do anything about this, his heart for Yun Qing is very clear in his heart, and he can't be more firm, and naturally he won't allow himself to betray Yun Qing.
What the Empress Dowager said may be useful for speculating on other men, Rong Cheng's words, if he is not sure of his feelings, but the meaning is different, he will not treat Yunqing like this!
