Empress Lu is a kind-faced woman, amiable and generous in the impression of a noblewoman in the capital, and never angry. Perhaps due to the weakness of her own mother's family and the embarrassing situation of having no biological children, Queen Lu treats her concubines equally, generously and politely, so everyone in the harem respects her.

When Qin Meng arrived, Empress Lu greeted her niece with a smile.

Yuan Lingchao saluted: "I've seen the queen's mother." ”

"Miss Yuan is exempt from the courtesy, give a seat."

Empress Lu's palace maid Qiu Niang moved two low stools.

By the way, Qiu Niang instructed the palace people to go to the small kitchen to prepare some tea and melon seeds, as well as Qin Meng's favorite crystal buns to be brought to Fengqi Palace. The palace people went by themselves.

Yuan Lingchao thanked him with courtesy.

Qin Meng was relatively open, and coquettishly faced Queen Lu.

Empress Lu touched Qin Meng's head lovingly, "Aunt Queen misses Meng'er too." ”

The eldest prince Qin Rong is the child of a palace girl, and because of the early death of his mother, he was raised by Queen Lu very early. Empress Lu treats her as a parent, and now Qin Rong has received an errand to work outside, and there is no one at the end of the three days, and Queen Lu is lonely in the palace, so she can only hold Qin Meng and coax her.

Qin Meng smiled sweetly, "Auntie, Meng'er often comes to Fengqi Palace to play with her aunt, and Uncle always accompanies those young beauties in the harem, and doesn't like to come to her aunt." ”

Men love women, not to mention the supreme emperor. Empress Lu is not Emperor Yanchang's favorite woman, but the first emperor gave her marriage as a quasi-crown princess, and Emperor Yanchang only treated Empress Lu with the face of a wife and the queen, and had no love.

Of course, Emperor Yanchang likes a lot of people, but if you ask him who he loves the most, he can't answer.

Queen Lu has no favor, but she lives her own small life calmly. Emperor Yanchang doesn't love her, why does Empress Lu love Emperor Yanchang?

When Qin Meng said this, she aroused a little sorrow in Empress Lu's heart, and she sighed, "Meng'er, when you become an emperor's woman, you have to endure loneliness, and you have to have restraint and endurance that are higher than ordinary people. The love of the emperor's family is the thinnest, it is not easy for our daughter's family to stand in the world, I am the queen, as long as the emperor respects me, I will respect him. The feelings are mutual. Don't ask for mutual affection, only ask for a clear conscience. ”

Qin Meng is a daughter of the clan, and no matter how you look at her future future, she will find a wishful husband, give birth to children, teach her husband and children, and live this life. It's just that Empress Lu can't ask for such an ordinary day, the emperor is amorous and unintentional, and Empress Lu has seen too much love and hatred in the harem, and she doesn't want to be such a person.

——The word love, misleading others and misunderstanding oneself.

If she can't meet the perfect husband who treats her wholeheartedly, then she doesn't have to demand that dispensable love, respect is the principle of coexistence.

Qin Meng listened in a daze. At her age, it is difficult to understand the affairs of the harem, and she also can't understand the sourness and helplessness in Queen Lu's heart.

Yuan Lingchao coughed lightly, "Xiaomeng, the queen's aunt is here, and the eldest prince who goes out on an errand, she won't be lonely." ”

Emperors are all scumbags, and they have married so many women, and it is impossible to be good to all women. That's pretty unfair.

Yuan Lingchao thought that Empress Lu had been a favored palace and had been standing for so long, and her wisdom was evident.

She doesn't go crazy about love, and most of the time it doesn't mean that her heart doesn't hurt.

Hey, ancient women are really pitiful.

"Sister Xiaoai, you say, is it better to be a queen or a concubine?" Qin Meng suddenly asked a question that was not related.

Compared with Queen Lu's disgrace, the days of Emperor Yanchang's favored concubine and Jiang Guifei, who lived in Xiangyun Palace, can be said to be very nourishing.

Jiang Guifei was born to protect the army and lead the Jiang family, her mother's family was prosperous for a while, as a concubine, her treatment was not much worse, there were two sons under her knees, Qin Bing, the second prince and Qin Xiang, the third prince, and Queen Lu was low-key and gentle, Jiang Guifei was arrogant, and she was the number one nobleman that outsiders did not dare to provoke.

The restrained and forbearant queen and the high-flying and domineering concubine are like two lives with completely different personalities.

"Whether it's the queen or the concubine, that's Your Majesty's business." Yuan Lingchao diverted the topic, so she didn't answer this fatal topic.

Concubine Jiang is favored, Queen Lu is not favored, and the parties must have their own ideas.

Empress Lu said lightly: "Actually, I envy the concubine, she has done what I want to do but dare not do." ”

Jiang Guifei is not afraid of people's words, she does her own thing, and Emperor Yanchang does not hate her, even if this style is not very popular with everyone, but for Queen Lu, it is not another manifestation of a happy life.

Qin Meng pouted, "Aunt Queen, you are the best to me, and Meng'er will always be filial to you." At a young age, she had already sensed the unrest in Queen Lu's heart, and subconsciously wanted to comfort her.

Queen Lu smiled, she has been used to it for so many years, "It's okay, Meng'er's filial piety, aunt is the most clear." ”

The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was happy.

When Qiu Niang and the palace maid brought the prepared tea and melon seeds, the little eunuch who was doing business in Fengqi Palace suddenly came to report: Prime Minister Li Cheng was specially responsible for the guilt.

In this regard, Queen Lu patted the table for the first time in her life, "There is no way to teach her son, and she is powerless to restrain her, how did Li Xiangye teach her son?" didn't order more than his head, was Li Liang so bold as to forcibly take away Xiaomeng? ”

Qin Meng is her cherished baby niece, and emotionally she is also her own daughter, now that Li Liang has offended Qin Meng, can Queen Lu not be angry?

Queen Lu was angry, and the palace ladies in the palace knelt down together.

Yuan Lingchao spoke at this time, "Queen Mother, Li Gongzi does all kinds of evil, and does nonsense, Li Xiangye has punished Li Gongzi many times before, but Li Gongzi's old state germinated, and this time he was disrespectful to the county lord of Nanyang, thinking about it, it is impossible for Li Gongzi to learn a lesson without a dose of fierce medicine." ”

Li Liang didn't have the support of the prime minister's father, and he would have died a long time ago.

Empress Lu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yuan Lingchao, "Xiao Ai, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty has beaten Li Gongzi with sixty sticks, and let him think about it behind closed doors, Li Xiangye will be fined for three years, in my opinion, it is better to let Li Gongzi personally go to Chengwangfu as a horseman."

Burst! Why is there such a lack of morality? The dignified young master was a groom, and when he said it, the Li family was disgraced.

Empress Lu hesitated, "Gongzi Li is the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, will it be ...... to do this?"

"The county lord of Nanyang is the imperial prince, and being offended by him shows how arrogant Li Gongzi is. As the saying goes, the tiger father has no dogs, and Li Xiangye's fame was squandered by his indisputable son. ”

Yuan Lingchao said meaningfully.

Emperor Yanchang punished Li Liang heavily, didn't he just want to knock Li Xiangye behind him not to ride a donkey to find a horse, in a vain attempt to manipulate the imperial court?

Empress Lu seemed to notice a hint of it, and saw her say: "If Gongzi Li is not the son of Li Xiangye, maybe he won't be so arrogant." ”

Woe to the family!

"Xiao Ai's proposal, this palace and His Majesty will discuss it." Queen Lu remembered it in her heart, and it might be good to be a groom to sharpen Li Liang's temperament.

Yuan Lingchao and Qin Meng went back to their homes at dusk, and when they returned home, Yuan Lingchao led Emperor Yanchang and Empress Lu to thank her for saving the reward of the lord of Nanyang County.

A pair of cloisonné red coral earrings, two hollow orchid beads, a pair of red gold and silver bracelets, a golden begonia bead flower shake, and by the way, there are thousands of pearls and silver thousand taels and four cloud brocade given by Emperor Yanchang.

Yuan Lingchao waited for the word boudoir, and most of the rewards were gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

Hussar general Yuan Zhao and Mrs. Ke looked at the precious girl who was rewarded in the scenery, and they were all proud in their hearts.

"Okay, it's out of the momentum of our Yuan family, and he said that he is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is the king of the day, and he is right."

Yuan Zhao is heroic and hearty by nature, uninhibited, and even Mrs. Ke herself is a master of dancing guns and sticks, and she has a sense of the Yang family in another time and space.

Yuan Lingchao is ranked second, there is a brother Yuan Fengxian above, two younger brothers Yuan Fengxing and Yuan Fengxin below, there are seven cousins, plus the two sisters Yuan Lingyi and Yuan Lingyan in the next room, and it is not a joke that the British Mansion is flourishing.

However, compared with other people's large families with children and grandchildren starting from dozens of people, the British government is less than a few people.

Mrs. Ke patted Yuan Lingchao's shoulder and asked her with a smile if she hit Li Liang, where was her body uncomfortable?

- Fights and brawls are most likely to stumble.

Yuan Lingchao shook his head, "Li Liang is just an embroidered pillow, so don't be afraid." ”

She and Qin Meng inevitably fell in love with Li Liang by accident, and Li Liang's kid didn't know if he had reacted.

In fact, Qin Meng was dressed as a subordinate, with shabby clothes, originally just wanted to go out and play conveniently, but a Li Liang who didn't have long eyes came to the door to provoke, and the best opportunity didn't have to be pushed away, anyway, why didn't they take this opportunity to give Emperor Yanchang a chance to blame the Li family?

No, Emperor Yanchang was ruthless to Li Liang because of Li Xiangye.

Mrs. Ke said in a sensitive tone, "Li Liang didn't notice anything. ”

Li Liang may be nothing when he is a gentleman, who made him the son of Li Xiangye?

Yuan Lingchao laughed, "How can it be? When Li Xiangye was in the queen's dormitory, I also said that it was better to let Li Liang be a groom for Meng'er as a warning. It didn't work to let him think about it behind closed doors. ”

"......" is the only one whose daughter dares to propose that the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion be a groom.

Yuan Zhao gloated a little, "Usually Li Xiangye is happy and angry, and he is a decent man and a gentleman, heh!" What a pity to give birth to a son who is out of tune. ”

Yuan Zhao is a military general, and he has more intersection with Li Xiangye in official business. Li Xiangye is approachable, Corporal Lixian, and has excellent folk reviews, but Yuan Zhaona doesn't like him no matter what, he only thinks he is hypocritical.

Now it's okay, his son is not as good as his father, something happened, Yuan Zhao has a subtle mentality of watching the show.

Yuan Lingchao was curious about another thing, "Dad, what kind of person is Mrs. Wang, Li Xiangye's wife?" ”

Mrs. Wang was blushing and blessed, and she died without waiting for her husband's prosperity, and Li Xiangye was regarded as an infatuated lover if she didn't marry for many years.

Yuan Lingchao was thinking, does Li Xiangye really love his wife, or is there another reason?
