Cining Palace

The Queen Mother likes to plant flowers, and the tulips all over the yard are blooming just right.

The Queen Mother got up early in the morning to build flowers and leaves, and cut off the unsightly leaves one by one.

Aunt Su Mala handed a small pair of scissors to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Our queen has really grown up, and she has played with this desire." ”

"Well, the emperor went to Kunning Palace yesterday?"

"Yes, without your advice, the emperor went by himself."

Su Malagu looked forward to the emperor and the queen having more princes, only the queen gave birth to the queen mother's grandson, and it was Korqin's hope.

"Didn't stay overnight in Kunning Palace?"

Su Malagu shook her head.

"The emperor can take the initiative to go to Kunning Palace, which is already a great joy."

The Queen Mother shook her head.

"Little trick, when the emperor reacts, her plan will be ruined again. She, if she wants to really keep the emperor, she still has to work hard. ”

"Is there a way for the master?"

"The emperor likes Sinology, and he follows Tang Ruowang to learn Western things, this harem girl he likes Shi, and he runs to him if he has nothing to do, that's because Shi learns Chinese characters and works hard to learn Sinology, so he can talk to the emperor."

Aunt Su Mala thought about it, so the Shi family was pregnant with a child again.

"You go, ask Ji Shike if he still has time to teach our queen?"

Ji Shi is Fulin's teacher, very knowledgeable, and it is best to have him to teach the queen.

While he was talking, the queen came.

"Look, Cao Cao Cao has arrived."

Su Malagu went to welcome the queen in, and Meng Guqing came to greet the queen mother every day, preparing to go fishing after greeting her.

Meng Guqing came in and saw that the Queen Mother was pruning the flower branches, and she was cutting the corroded leaves for a while, judging from her doctorate in agriculture, this tulip was afraid that she was going to get sick.

Meng Guqing was still thinking about whether he should be nosy, so he listened to the voice outside the door.

"The slave and maid greet the emperor."

The Queen Mother smiled.

"It's rare for the two of you to come together."

Meng Guqing ventriloquist: Who came with him.

However, after the emperor came in and saluted the queen mother, Meng Guqing also asked An Dao in a proper manner: "I have seen the emperor's cousin." ”

Fu Lin glanced at Meng Guqing, didn't pay attention, but looked at the tulips in the courtyard and said, "The flowers in the courtyard of Huang Eniang are really beautiful. ”

The queen mother glanced at Meng Guqing and said, "In a few days, the show girl will enter the palace, and the emperor's harem may be more beautiful than this flower." ”

The entry of the show girl into the palace was prepared two months ago, because the queen didn't want to be a director, and the queen mother presided over this matter.

The Queen Mother thought that Meng Guqing would be unhappy when she heard it, but who knew that her eyes lit up.

Fulin also found out.

I saw that she seemed to have opened the floodgates, and said with a little excitement:

"Auntie, I heard that this show girl sent by the Tong family is as beautiful as a flower, if she enters the palace, she can add a lot of color to this palace."

Entering the palace?

Fu Lin felt that the queen had been strange these days, and she used to reject people who were better than her in everything.

Now?

Whether you're true or not, I'm going to see what tricks you're going to play?

"Since the queen said so, the matter of this show girl entering the palace will be handed over to the queen."

"Huh?"

"What? The queen is unwilling? ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that this matter, the concubine is afraid that one person can't do it well."

"Let Concubine Duanshun and Concubine Gongjing be with you. This matter is so decided, I still have something to do in the previous dynasty, so I will be busy first. ”

Saying that, the emperor retreated.

The emperor left, and the queen mother glanced at the queen and said, "Do you really want to be in charge of the draft?" ”

Of course, that is the future Kangxi's mother, who can give birth to her good son.

Their future happy life depends on their mother and son.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll be able to choose the best one."

Aunt?

The Queen Mother recently found out that her title had changed, but she didn't take it to heart, but explained a few words to her, and let her go to work.

There will be a draft in a few days, and Meng Guqing will not go fishing.

On the day of the draft, she got up early to dress up, and the two concubines, Concubine Duanshun and Concubine Gongjing, also waited early.

Concubine Duanshun and Concubine Gongjing are both Mongolian tribal women, and they are the objects of the Manchu people, because these women are not like her, they have received Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese language education since childhood, so they do not communicate well with the emperor, which also causes them to be unfavored.

But she is not favored, she has a high status, and she is a concubine as soon as she enters the palace.

These two people look okay, but they are not favored, they don't look public, and they are well-behaved.

"The concubine sees the queen's mother." The two spoke in Manchu, which they were not very proficient in.

The two of them have figured out the language, so they have always been good with each other and don't cause trouble, because they can't get the emperor's protection if they cause trouble.

And Meng Guqing, because he has a bit of the memory of the heroine, can understand the words of the two.

She casually beckoned the two of them to get up and gave them a seat.

"Have you eaten?"

The two looked at each other, each seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

After all, the queen mother in the past was not a person who would care whether they ate or not, she only had the emperor in her eyes.

And the two of them handled the affairs of the show girls with the emperor this time, and they were inevitably a little worried, in case the queen went crazy and drove all the show girls out, then the two of them would be finished.

"Queen Mother, let's choose a show girl this time, do we have a charter?"

"You can see these show girls?"

Concubine Duanshun said: "I've seen a few, but the appearance of these women is not as good as the queen's mother." Niangniang is the most beautiful woman in Horqin. ”

Concubine Gongjing also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, they are all relatively ordinary." ”

Meng Guqing smiled.

"You don't have to be like this, since we are responsible for the emperor's draft, we naturally have to take responsibility, we have to look at our family background, and we also have to look at the emperor's preferences."

Concubine Gongjing and Concubine Duanshun listened, only to feel a little cold on their backs.

Is the gentle, gentle, and well-organized woman in front of her their queen?

Meng Guqing knew that the two of them were curious, and he didn't explain much, this person, if he didn't love it, he would look at the things in this palace as a bystander.

They went to invite the Queen Mother together, and in Cining Palace, the noble concubine was also there, talking and laughing with the Queen Mother.

Today's excitement, many people want to get together.

Everyone saluted each other, and the Queen Mother asked, "What about the emperor?" Aunt Su Mala, go and ask the emperor if he's done? ”

"Queen Mother, the emperor sent someone to spread the word that let's go first, and then he will go directly from the Qianqing Palace to the Tiyuan Palace."

"The emperor is still busy?"

"Yes, I'm talking to Prince Zheng."

The queen mother can't let the emperor only care about the draft, ignore the government and politics, and get people's talk.

The draft was set in the Tiyuan Palace, and everyone went over first, and the positions had already been arranged inside, and when everyone sat down one by one, the emperor arrived.

Everyone got up here to salute, and when the emperor was seated, it began.

Meng Guqing saw the emperor's draft for the first time, and the shock and curiosity in his heart were even greater, and the show girls walked forward in rows and rows, from surprise to loss, it was extremely unbearable to watch.

It's just that the emperor let them go over one by one, and he didn't choose.

Meng Guqing looked at the emperor and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's been six rows, and no one has given flowers yet." ”

Fu Lin said casually: "Which one does the queen like?" ”

"I like ...... Your Majesty, it is you who chooses your concubine. ”

"I want the queen to choose."
