"The affairs of the harem, how can you hide it from the mourning family, Zhaoyan is not crazy at all, then everything is just a show for the mourning family to be seen by the virtuous concubine, since she wants to save her baby daughter's life, the mourning family has no opinion, she wants to keep it, the mourning family has connived at Zhaoyan for so many years, and the purpose is very simple, that is, to tell those people in the harem that they weigh the point before doing things, and there is no room for dirt in the eyes of the mourning family."

The queen mother's meaning is obvious, she knows what happened tonight very well, but she is not interested in poking this matter out now.

"Then the Queen Mother, do you have any intention in telling me about this?"

Hua Zhao asked stubbornly, after all, what he was in front of him was the last palace fighting champion, and he couldn't match her if he couldn't.

"The mourning family has been in the palace for decades, looking at these people, they are all a little tired of watching, you girl can be favored by the emperor, compared to a few brushes, the mourning family just wants to see what kind of person the future granddaughter-in-law is."

The Queen Mother always had a suitable smile on her face, and Hua Zhao didn't dare to speak, for fear that if she said too much, she would be pulled out by the Queen Mother.

finally walked to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, but the Queen Mother did not let Hua Zhao retreat first, and Hua Zhao had to follow the Queen Mother to watch.

She chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, after all, the Queen Mother was old, she tossed for half the night, and now she felt a little tired, so she asked Mama Chai to wait for her to wash up and lay on the carved bed.

"Niangniang, since you are tired, can I go down?"

Hua Zhao looked at the Queen Mother and asked cautiously.

"You are here tonight with the mourning family, Mama Chai, go and get a mattress for the county lord to spread on the ground, and the golden silk soft pillow of the mourning family, the county lord will rest here tonight."

The Queen Mother seemed to have just noticed Hua Zhao and told Mama Chai to prepare things.

"Am I going to sleep here tonight?"

Hua Zhao frowned slightly, no matter how she said it, she should be regarded as a guest of the Queen Mother, how could anyone let the guests lay on the floor?

"Zhao'er, is this unwilling to accompany the old woman of the mourning family?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not taking Hua Zhao's protest to heart.

"No, no, the folk girl doesn't dare, it's the honor of the folk girl to accompany the queen mother, but the folk girl hasn't washed ...... yet"

As soon as Hua Zhao heard the words of the Queen Mother, all the opinions in his heart disappeared in an instant.

After all, the person in front of her is the Queen Mother, and she is just a small county lord, and she can't afford to be provoked.

"Qian'er, take the county lord down to wash, and you can come back with Mama Chai later."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, then leaned back on the bed and looked at something.

After Hua Zhao followed Qian'er to wash up, when she came back, she saw that Mama Chai had already helped her make the bed, and she was talking to the Queen Mother at the moment.

"You stand down first."

Seeing Hua Zhao coming, the Queen Mother let Mama Chai leave first, but her eyes finally returned to the scroll in her hand.

Hua Zhao looked at the Queen Mother's serious appearance, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Niangniang, what are you looking at?"

The Queen Mother has lived in the palace for most of her life, so it should be a very important thing for her to watch it so seriously, right?

The Queen Mother listened to Hua Zhao's words and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What's the matter, aren't you afraid of mourning home?"

When Hua Zhao came back with her just now, she was still as obedient as a quail, how could she still have the courage to take the initiative to ask herself what she was looking at?

"I'm afraid, instead of being afraid of lying on the ground trembling all night, it's better to think about how to please you, the first step to please others, first find a common topic."

Hua Zhao also figured it out just now, he was going to sleep next to the Queen Mother for one night, what if the Queen Mother saw that she was unhappy at night and found a reason to toss herself?

"You girl can see through it."

The Queen Mother chuckled, closed the book in her hand, and then showed the cover to Hua Zhao.

""Female Rule, did your mother show it to you when you were a child?"

Hua Zhao originally thought that the queen mother's position should be reading a book like "The Art of War", but she didn't expect that she was actually reading "Women's Rules".

"That's not true, I was naughty when I was a child, I couldn't get used to reading books, and my mother didn't force me."

Hua Zhao scratched her head, the original owner was very favored when she was a child, she decided not to read much if she was bored, and Zhao and Hua Zhenghui would not force her to read.

When she was selected by Xu Zexuan as the future princess, the emperor should have sent someone to check her, but now it is really unnecessary to pretend in front of the queen mother, but she will be looked down upon by the queen mother.

"It's nothing if a woman hasn't read, as long as she is virtuous and dignified, a woman will serve virtue if she has no talent, the emperor and Empress Luo Guifei like you very much, presumably your virtue is good."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything bad about her, just closed the "Women's Rules" in her hand, and then lay back on the bed.

Hua Zhao saw that the Queen Mother was lying down, and she followed suit.

There are many stars in the sky tonight, and even if the candles are extinguished in the house, there is still some light in the house.

"Mother, are you still sleepy?"

Hua Zhao couldn't sleep, lying on the ground alone and feeling panicked behind him.

"Not too sleepy."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said that she was a little sleepy just now, but now she talked to Hua Zhao for a while, but she came to her senses.

"Since you can't sleep, mother, can you tell me the story of your youth?"

Hua Zhao sat up from the ground and looked at the Queen Mother lying on the bed, her eyes were shining and full of anticipation.

"The story of the mourning family when they were young?"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, it seems that there are indeed many people who want to hear her young story, but everyone will be scared when they hear it.

"That's right, Niangniang, as the champion of the last palace fight, must have a lot of stories, right?"

According to the words she saw in the original book, she knew that the Queen Mother had won a lot of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods when she came over, but the specific story was not written in the novel, so she had to ask the Queen Mother herself.

"You girl is interesting, do you know that for so many years, even the emperor and Taiping have not dared to let the mourning family tell them stories?"

The Queen Mother smiled, saying that Hua Zhao was not, but her mind had already begun to recall the story of her youth.

"The mourning family married into the Hongwang Mansion at the age of fifteen, when the first emperor was just a prince, at that time the first emperor's mother concubine status was not high, just a small concubine in the palace, so ah, the mourning family is the first woman of the first emperor, and it is also his favorite woman, the first emperor likes the piano, and the mourning family knows some dances, at that time, the first emperor stroked the qin, and the mourning family danced, we have been like this for a long time, but later, Concubine Chen entered the palace, her maternal status is low, just an ordinary character in the palace......"
