Cining Palace is the place where the Queen Mother lives, and in the Jiajing Dynasty, there are two Queen Mothers.

One of them was the biological mother of Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Xiaozong's wife, Empress Dowager Zhang, and the other was Jiajing's biological mother.

Therefore, the most peculiar landscape in the world has appeared, and the Empress Dowager Zhang naturally refused to move out of Cining Palace, but the new Empress Dowager does not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, so she has to move in.

In fact, the reason here is also very simple, Jiajing was originally a vassal king who entered Beijing to claim the emperor, after all, the more he owes his reputation, the more because of this, his biological mother Queen Mother is even more reluctant to make concessions in terms of reputation for Jiajing's plan.

If the queen mother lived in other palaces, wouldn't it make people see a joke, and it would be unjustifiable to confirm the name of their An Lu family?

Some small arrangements in the palace have a deep meaning, not just where to live, Cining Palace may not be better than other palaces, but it is a symbol in itself, which makes it even if it is a thatched pit and shack, the Queen Mother will never make concessions.

But Empress Dowager Zhang can't move, if she moves, the ministers will definitely make trouble, and people have just given the throne to you Anlu, and you will drive people out, which is a bit unkind.

But the biological mother, the Queen Mother, is also not giving an inch, Jiajing is not stupid, of course she knows the Queen Mother's considerations for doing this, she is actually for herself after all.

In the end, the Son of Heaven made a difficult decision to divide the Cining Palace into two, with the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Cishou living on one side and the Empress Dowager An Xian on the other. Anyway, it's a big place, so I don't have to be nervous.

In this Cining Palace, it is called the South Palace and the North Palace, the North Palace refers to the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Cishou, and the South Palace refers to the Empress Dowager An Xian.

Early in the morning, Jiajing had to go to the Empress Dowager Zhang, the Zhaosheng Cishou Emperor, as usual. Then he came to Nangong's side. Jiajing's biological mother, the Queen Mother, was born very beautiful, at this time it was only about thirty, but the charm was undiminished, but the Queen Mother's temper has always been not very good, and today I don't know who offended her, which made her furious, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in Cining Palace were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they knelt at her feet, and they heard the Queen Mother scolding coldly: "Good manners." Then why is the wishful mirror gone? This is an object given by the first emperor, so you don't care about it? It can't be that some slaves and maids sold it privately, right? ”

Jiajing had just arrived here, and when he saw that the queen mother was furious, he was very patient and crept in. Then he moved a small stool and sat on the side, without interjecting to speak.

The palace people and eunuchs were all silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound, but the eunuch in charge of this hall couldn't help but interject and said: "Niang Niang Mingjian, there are no people with unclean hands and feet in our south, and Niang Niang is very strict in management." Slaves and maids have this heart, don't they have the guts? ”

The Queen Mother sneered harshly and said, "Who knows your thoughts? ”

The chief eunuch climbed up the pole. He smiled and said: "This is really wronged to kill our slaves, think about it, so many things have been lost?" If you want to steal, you will steal it long ago. Besides, the people in our palace. Who doesn't know that this wishful mirror is the mother's beloved thing? Even if you want to steal it, there are so many treasures in this palace, and you will never dare to steal this wishful mirror. ”

"Hmm." The Queen Mother's face softened a little, and then she sneered again: "You didn't steal it, did you steal it yourself?" ”

The chief eunuch said: "This must not be an internal thief, even if it is stealing, it is also done by an external thief, so the slave and maid are wondering if someone else stole it." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "When you say this, the mourning family remembers, hmph, where do some people look like nobles?" It's still the head of the harem, and you can't even control your own slaves and maids, you spread the word, this matter, the mourning family will not take a break, let the Dali Temple to investigate, let the celebrant to check, let the Jinyi captain to check, don't find out the truth, don't severely punish these unclean hands and feet, the mourning family will never agree. ”

Everyone hurriedly said yes, and the queen mother's face softened a little, and said: "You all go down, you must see more clearly in the future, don't let those cats and dogs wander around at will, some people don't know how to discipline slaves and maids, and the mourning family will discipline her next time." ”

As if they had been pardoned, they all said goodbye and retreated cautiously.

Only the Queen Mother and Jiajing Tianzi were left in the hall, and the Queen Mother put away her angry face, smiled kindly at Jiajing, and said, "The emperor got up so early today?" ”

Jiajing hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, there is a court meeting early this morning. ”

"Oh." The Queen Mother seemed to be a different person, and said in a gentle manner: "Really, even if it is a court meeting, why not do it later?" Is this just a matter of time? Those ministers, I really don't know what they think in their heads, but they have worked hard for the emperor. Emperor, state affairs are important, but you must also take care of your body, and don't lose the big because of the small. ”

Jiajing hurriedly said: "Erchen knows." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were gloomy, but she thought of something, she went to the dressing cabinet and opened a small box, and actually took a mirror, Jiajing looked at it, it was the Ruyi mirror that the Queen Mother claimed had been lost, Jiajing saw this, but she didn't feel strange, she was still calm, and she didn't call out the Ruyi mirror and found it again.

The Queen Mother approached him with a mirror, handed the mirror into Jiajing's hand, and said: "This mirror was given to the mourning family by your father. ”

Jiajing took the mirror, played with it in his hand, he sighed, and said: "Thinking about my father's father, how kind he was back then, to this day, the son still remembers the time when he was happy under his knees, at that time, it was ......so good" Jiajing seemed to be moved, sighed for a while, and then, he raised his hand and threw the wishful mirror hard, and with a snap, the mirror fell to the ground and fell into several petals.

The splashed broken lenses flew past Jiajing's legs, and Jiajing was unmoved.

The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning and said, "It's so raw, why did you fall?" ”

Jiajing got up from the stool, recovered the indifference on his face, and said in a flat tone: "Since this mirror has been lost, let it disappear forever, it's not good to keep it after all." The father's voice and smile have always remained in the hearts of the sons, and the sons are not women, and they are not able to think about people by seeing things, this mirror was given by the father, and in the future, there will never be again! ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at him with admiration and said, "The son of the mourning family has grown up. ”

Jiajing smiled slightly, and immediately sat down, as if what had just happened had never happened, he bowed and said: "Queen Mother, there are some things that don't have to be done by you, Erchen has his own opinions, now Erchen has just ascended to the throne, everything must come slowly, some things are done in a hurry, the effect will be different, Erchen knows that the queen mother is planning for Erchen." ”

The queen mother's face turned cold: "The mourning family doesn't care about the outside affairs, but the affairs in the palace, the mourning family can't do it if they don't want to interfere......

Jiajing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Well, naturally follow the mother's wishes." ”

At this moment, the eunuch who had just withdrawn went and returned, he walked into the hall, saw a broken mirror on the ground, was stunned at first, and then showed a trace of fear in his eyes, he wanted to run out, but his steps were not moving, and his heavy breathing attracted the attention of this pair of noble mother and son, and the queen mother's cold gaze had fallen towards him.

Jiajing, on the other hand, didn't seem to care, just looked at the eunuch with mockery, with a sense of laziness.

The chief eunuch didn't dare to hesitate at this time, trotted forward, regardless of the broken mirror on the ground, knelt down with a plop, and then kowtowed to the ground, his forehead hit the broken mirror on the ground, and immediately blood gushed, but he didn't dare to wipe the blood on his forehead at all, just cried and said: "Slave and maid are dead, slave and maid are dead......

The Queen Mother's face became colder and colder, and she said, "What do you see?" ”

The eunuch in charge was so frightened that he said, "Slave...... The slave and the maid did not see anything, the slave and the maid were blind, the slave and the maid were dumb, begging the mother to be merciful, and the slave and maid were dumb, and the slave and the maid would not chew the root of the tongue if they had no tongue. ”

Jiajing smiled at this time and said: "If you see it, you see it, what is there to hide?" Get up, as long as you don't say it, who will blame you? You are the person next to the queen mother, can't you even trust you? ”

The chief eunuch looked at the Queen Mother hesitantly, and the Queen Mother's indifferent face regained some color with Jiajing's words, and she said slowly: "Didn't you hear the emperor's words?" Have you forgotten the rules of mourning? Why did you rush in so recklessly? ”

The chief eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The slave and maid are ...... It was entrusted by Huang Gonggong to send a book, Huang Gonggong said, some news, His Majesty Xià is very concerned, he has ordered before, but where there is news in this regard, it is not allowed to be delayed for a moment, it must be delivered in time, the slave listened to Huang Gonggong's words, so it ...... So ......"

Jiajing's eyes moved, and he said, "Bring the book." ”

A copy of the recital fell steadily into Jiajing's hand, Jiajing opened it, glanced at it slightly, and then said in astonishment: "It's really lucky." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help asking, "Why is Your Majesty amazed?"

Jiajing raised his eyes and said: "It's nothing, it's just a student, I have won Zhejiang Jieyuan, Zhejiang is an extraordinary place, I can stand out there, it seems that I still underestimate this person, this person not only has an idea and is decisive enough, I didn't expect the article to be so good." ”

The queen mother said disapprehantly: "After all, it's just a Xie Yuan, my Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen envoys, and there are fifteen Xie Yuan every three years, which is nothing." ”

Jiajing just smiled and said: "This is different, Queen Mother, the last time the court tried to write the article that the Son of Heaven must have a father, and the princes must have a brother came from his pen." ”
