Chapter 80: Reconciliation and Compromise?
This morning, Su Qian got up early to wash and make up.
"Why did Niangniang get up so early today, your health is not well, you should rest more."
Zhiyun waited for the mother to make up, and did not forget to instruct.
Su Qian yawned lazily, squinted his eyes and said, "This palace has to go to Ci'an Palace to discuss with the Queen Mother about praying for the blessing of the country." ”
She also doesn't want to crawl out of the warm quilt in the early winter morning, isn't this an important thing, praying for the country is a big deal, and she can't lose the rules when she performs her duties as a queen.
"But the Queen Mother ......"
Zhiyun was worried in her tone, the Queen Mother has always disliked Niangniang, she changed the law to make a stumbling block for Niangniang before, but I am afraid that if I go again this time, the Queen Mother will not give Niangniang a good look.
"After all, the queen mother is old, and the palace always has to respect the old and love the young, and the palace now has the support of the emperor, how can she be afraid of offending the queen mother."
Su Qian is different from the past, she has confidence in her heart, and she will not let others bully her and not fight back.
"Well, that's exactly what the mother said."
Zhiyun was happy in her heart, there was no need to be afraid of anything in the emperor's mother, she quickly dressed up the mother, put on a thick warm velvet cloak, and burned the charcoal fire in the hand stove to the heat, ensuring that the mother could not stand the slightest cold.

Inside the Ci'an Palace
The concubines have already sat down, the queen mother is still in the inner hall, they gather together in twos and threes to talk and laugh, talking about nothing more than those things, but it is also lively.
"How do you look at this palace, it seems to be the queen's guard of honor."
A concubine looked at the palace gate through the window with sharp eyes, and vaguely saw the queen's figure, and suddenly everyone's eyes were attracted.
Xiao Dezi held the floating dust, took the lead and stepped in, and said loudly: "The queen has arrived!" ”
The concubines all had surprised looks on their faces, they got up to greet each other, and spoke in unison, "The concubines see the queen's mother, the queen's mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Su Qian's whole body was wrapped tightly like a zongzi, with a beautiful little face exposed outside, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint flush.
After she sat down in the upper left seat, she said lightly: "Let's be flat." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After the concubines sat down one after another.
Before Su Qian could take a break from tea, one of them couldn't help jumping out first.
"How can this queen sister have time to come to Ci'an Palace? It surprised the concubines, and they felt that it was very strange to be able to look down on their sister. ”
It was a mellow, rather petite concubine who spoke, with a pair of autumn eyes rippling on her palm-sized face, but unfortunately there were some calculations hidden to destroy the beauty that should have been.
Su Qian glanced at her with his spare eyes, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then asked, "Are you?" ”
Concubine Yan generously reported to her family, "Concubine Yan, the emperor's new concubine, and her father Jing Zhaoyin." ”
Although Jing Zhaoyin's official rank is not too outstanding among Wu Yangyang's concubines, it is much better than the queen's mother's family is a cheap businessman.
Kyung Zhao Yin? Su Qian felt familiar, and then thought that her brother was Yan Benliu.
is also a brother and sister, one is talented, and the other has a humble personality, and the other has no heart, but he is a flamboyant person, and the same tutor has raised two completely different people.
Her brother still knows that he is clumsy and does not show his edge, and this Yan Concubine is too top-notch.
The concubines cast a strange look at Yan Concubine, since the emperor favored the queen, they gradually recognized the reality, and it has nothing to do with family affairs, even if they are reluctant, they have more or less respect for the queen.
Since Concubine Yan is willing to be the first bird, they are also happy to watch a good show.
"The body of this palace has never been very good, and the emperor favors this palace, so he is exempted from the rules of the palace and the queen mother, not to mention that filial piety and unfilial piety are not related to asking for peace."
"The emperor hopes that the palace will recuperate as soon as possible, give birth to the eldest son, the emperor has a son under his knees, and the queen mother can tease her grandson, which is what she wants to see the most."
Su Qian's words frustrated Yan Concubine's spirit, and she found more and more that the great tyrant was a very good raft, and the implication was that the emperor was willing to spoil her so much.
Concubine Yan froze in place, in a dilemma, she didn't know how to speak for a while, her face was very ugly, and she held back her sentence for a long time, "The emperor and queen are fortunate to be in harmony with Jokhang, and it is the blessing of Jokhang that the queen can give birth to a son-in-law." ”
Seeing that the queen did not speak.
Lin Yuewan's eyes rolled, and she spoke softly to ease the situation, "Sister Yan is right, the emperor's heirs are hanging in the air, if the queen can give birth to an heir as soon as possible, the court and the people will be happy." ”
Lin Yuewan didn't want to help Concubine Yan, she just didn't want the scene to be too ugly, now the harem is the queen's big seat, even she and her aunt know to avoid its edge, if something goes wrong and provokes the emperor's suspicion, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Sit down."
Su Qian didn't embarrass her too much for the sake of Concubine Yan's brother, she was just a stupid beauty who didn't have much heart, if she was smarter, she would know how to judge the situation like other concubines, and she wouldn't jump out at this juncture.
Yan Concubine breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in her chair uneasily, clenched her hands and lowered her head, losing the slightest ostentatious appearance before.
Fortunately, such a stalemate atmosphere did not last long, and the Queen Mother came out of the inner hall, and her well-maintained face was still graceful and luxurious.
Su Qian stood up and led the concubines to greet the Queen Mother, "The concubines see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
The Queen Mother's gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Su Qian, a dark light flashed under her eyes, she pursed the corners of her lips and spoke, "Flat." ”
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
The concubines sat down only after seeing the queen sit down.
The Queen Mother endured the anger in her heart and mentioned it expressionlessly, "I heard that the queen had a cold a few days ago, is it okay now?" ”
"After thanking my mother, I am worried, and the concubine is already very good."
"Yesterday, the concubine came to find the concubine, mentioning the blessing, the concubine had never attended before, and she wanted to learn the rules, so she came to Ci'an Palace today to ask the queen mother for advice."
Su Qian bowed slightly, and his tone was humble.
The Queen Mother nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family will let Mama Zhang go to Fengyi Palace to teach you, it's not difficult, you just remember it by heart." ”
Baoxiang Temple, for the imperial use of the Imperial Temple, is located in the southern suburbs of the capital, by the mountains and rivers, the environment is quiet, and the incense is constantly worshipped all the year round.
"Thank you, Mother."
The concubines gossiped around the Queen Mother, and after sitting for half an hour, they dispersed.
At the gate of Ci'an Palace, Su Qian was about to get on the sedan chair and leave.
Lin Yuewan chased a few steps quickly and shouted behind her, "Sister Queen." ”
Su Qian raised his hand, and after Xiao Dezi received the signal, he ordered someone to drop the sedan chair.
She looked sideways at Lin Yuewan, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Lin Yuewan blessed her body, and there was a bit of sincerity in her tone, "The concubine will always respect the queen's sister." ”
Su Qian pulled the corners of her lips, only feeling that what Lin Yuewan said made her feel ridiculous and strange, this good way to show her favor was too inconsistent with her character.
And today, the Queen Mother changed her usual posture of being high and disgusted with her, and she looked like she was a little reconciled and compromised, and what their aunts and nephews were thinking about in their hearts, this is what Su Qian didn't know.
Su Qian replied to her with an ambiguous sentence, "This palace is the queen's own power in the harem, but there are many trivial matters and there are times when you have no time to deal with, and sometimes you need to worry about the concubine." ”
Lin Yuewan smiled knowingly, "The concubine obeys." ”
