Chapter 440: The Queen Mother of Love
I saw that on the original autumn leaves, a shallow golden pattern appeared.
It's not very clear, but it's faintly visible.
Qing Qi was surprised, what was going on?
Also, did she bring this red leaf from the Xuanjing Heaven of the Ghost Ruins Illusion Realm, or was it her own?
But she counted all her own leaves, just like a part of her body, each one was connected to her spirit, and she could control them freely, but this one was different, as if it had some connection with her, but this connection was very mysterious, but one thing was for sure, she couldn't peek into the energy contained in this red leaf.
And these shallow golden lines, what are they?
Qingshu closed his palm, put away the red leaves, and then glanced around blankly.
This hut is not a small bamboo house in the fantasy world, it is much more exquisite than the small bamboo house, the furniture inside is also made of precious wood, and even the ornaments that are placed in your hand are antiques.
My father was eager to bring in all the good things for her, and even the veils that glued the windows were tribute.
But I don't know why, at this moment, sitting here, looking around, Qingshu has the illusion of overlapping with the hut in the fantasy world.
She shook her head, was she sleepy? Or is it that the illusion is actually part of her own imagination?
Qing Qi closed her eyes and paralyzed back to the bed, forget it, now that she is in Siling Continent, it is a bit too much to think about what Xuanjing Heaven looks like.
She had been so tired lately that she had fallen asleep not long after closing her eyes.
She didn't sleep long, and she opened her eyes just after dawn.
After washing, she left from the hut, just in time for the maid to bring breakfast to Xiao Hui, she followed a breakfast, and after explaining what Xiao Hui asked Xiao Hui to do today, she entered the palace alone.
It has been less than a year since she left Dongqin, and everyone in the palace knows her, so with her face, no one needs to deliberately inform her, and she entered the palace all the way unimpeded. The little emperor has just had breakfast, and there is no court meeting today, but he still has to read, and he is sitting and reading a book in a serious way, waiting for the master to come and give him a lecture.
Seeing Qingshu come in, he immediately threw down the book excitedly, jumped down from the chair quickly, and rushed at Qingshu like a cannonball, "Imperial sister! ”
As he was about to bump into her, Aoki pinpointed a finger against his forehead.
The little guy raised his head excitedly, his eyes lit up as if they could shine: "Sister Huang, when did you come back, Uncle Wang didn't tell me, I want to kill you, I heard that the emperor of Xiliang has ......"
The little emperor realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't say, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth, and looked at Qingqi flatteringly: "Sister Huang, then you won't leave when you come back, you're not here, I'm so bored every day, when will you take me out of the palace to play, you have been away for so long, Uncle Wang won't let me out of the palace, and the queen mother won't let me, I'm so tired, I'm going to class again today!" ”
The little emperor grabbed Qingjuni's arm and held her arm and shook it, and Qingshu was hurt by his noisy brain.
"Okay, read your book well, don't be full of fun every day, be careful of getting beaten!" Aoki grabbed him by the back collar and lifted him aside.
At this time, a palace maid at the door hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty is blessed, the county lord is blessed, the queen mother heard that the county lord has entered the palace, and specially ordered the slave maid to come and invite the county lord to come over, and the queen mother prepared the county lord's favorite snacks, waiting for the county lord!" ”
Qingshu and the little emperor glanced at each other, and the little emperor immediately collapsed, looked at Qingqi with blank eyes, and was reluctant to let go.
Qingqi reached out and rubbed his face with baby fat: "Okay, okay, I'll come back to see you in a while, okay?" ”
"Okay then, then Sister Huang, come back quickly!" The little emperor looked at her pitifully.
Qing Qi patted him on the head, let go of him, turned around and followed the palace maid to the Queen Mother's Changning Palace.
The Eastern Qin royal family has not had many people in the harem for many years, and the Empress Dowager Su has lived the longest.
She is not the biological mother of the current little emperor, but the empress of a previous emperor, and she is only in her thirties this year.
She has been in the deep palace for a long time, and she is well maintained, and she looks like she is in her twenties.
As soon as he saw Qingqi coming in, he waved to Qingqi cordially: "County Lord, come and sit down." ”
She didn't shy away from letting Qingjun come to her place and sit down, and grabbed Qingjun's hand across the table: "The mourning family has already told the regent, don't send you to kiss, I really look forward to your return every day." ”
"What about your father? I haven't entered the palace for the past two days, and the emperor is still asking about breakfast today. ”
Empress Dowager Su looked at Qingqi with a smile and beckoned the palace maid to brew her favorite flower tea for Qingqi.
Qing Mao tugged at her lips and smiled.
are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you doing in front of her?
Whenever she entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Su looked at her with the eyes of her own daughter, tea and snacks, and gave her this and that, I can't go back to the palace with her directly, I am afraid that she does not have the patience to treat the little emperor.
Also, after all, it's hard to say how many years the little emperor can be, as long as her position as the queen mother is stable enough.
Qingqi came today, and she originally told her that her father had left, and even if she had the intention to hide it, she couldn't hide it for too long.
"Father is gone." Qing Qi said.
Empress Dowager Su was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "Does the prince have anything to do?" How long are you going this time? He loves you the most, you are in the capital, where can he be willing to go out for too long, is there something wrong with the war between Xiliang and Beixuan? ”
The war between Xiliang and Beixuan had just ended, and even if it was urgent for eight hundred miles, the news did not arrive in Dongqin so quickly.
For now, no one in Eastern Qin should know the real battle situation over there.
"Xiliang held the Yujing City, Mo Xuanling led people to withdraw to Beixuan, Xiliang has restored stability, and the eldest princess of Xiangyang succeeded to the throne as the empress of Xiliang." Qingqi said unhurriedly.
Empress Dowager Su froze at this moment, "This, when did this happen?" How come there is no wind about such a big thing? Lord, did he go out for this matter? ”
Qing Qi smiled, "Queen Mother, Xiliang is stable, Beixuan will not make any more moves in a short time, Dongqin is relatively stable now, my father did not leave the capital, he left Silingzhou." ”
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Su trembled slightly, and her voice suddenly sharpened: "What did you say?" ”
She looked at Qingqi in disbelief, her voice was shaking, and the blood on her whole face faded in an instant.
Qing Wei looked at her like this, and was also a little helpless: "Queen Mother, I understand your thoughts, and my father also understands, but do you think that my father is a person who cares about worldly words?" You should have known his attitude, and he had already told you that if you wanted, he could send you home, and you could change your name and surname and remarry, but if you didn't want to, you had to stay in this position......"
"You know what?!" Empress Dowager Su collapsed instantly, she got up, pointed at those palace maids and said, "You go out." ”
The palace ladies immediately withdrew.
There are only two people left in the hall, Qingqi and Empress Dowager Su.
"You know what?" Empress Dowager Su had tears in her eyes and looked at Qingqi stubbornly: "I like him, I like him from the first time I saw him, I just want to marry him, I don't want to marry someone else!" But he refused to look at me, I had no choice, I had no way, in order to be able to get closer to him, I married Emperor Cheng, but I didn't look down on Emperor Cheng's sick seedling at all, how did you die when that sick seedling? ”
"It's because I dislike him for dying too slowly, and when his concubine gives birth to a child, I stimulated him and let him go on the road early."
"The children born to his concubines are not of his blood, do you think your father does not know? But he didn't demolish me, he didn't abolish me, I thought that as long as time passed, he would always accept me. But in one year, two years, five years and ten years, the emperor has changed three or four, and he still refuses to look at me! ”
"I used to think it was your illness that consumed too much of his mind, so he didn't pay attention to me, it doesn't matter, as long as I look at him, I just need to look at him!"
"But why, why?"
"Do you know what you're talking about, are you lying to me, how could he be willing to leave Siling Continent, you're back, how could he be willing to leave!"
Empress Dowager Su's eyes were red, she seemed to be talking to Qingqi, but it was more like she was talking to herself.
And what she said, how could Qingshu not know?
It's just that she used to be confused a lot, and when she was sober, she didn't have the heart to think about it.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Su was already crazy, she was really helpless: "You're right, my father knows everything, he knows that Emperor Cheng's death is your hands and feet, and he knows that the child born by that concubine is not Emperor Cheng's bloodline, so do you know why?" Because Emperor Cheng was promiscuous when he was young, he hollowed out his body early, and when he ascended the throne, he was already a rice bag with half a foot in the coffin, if it wasn't for that time, Emperor Cheng was the direct bloodline of the first emperor, and it would not be his turn to be the emperor at all. ”
"So everything you did at that time was just pushing the boat, even if you didn't stimulate him, with Emperor Cheng's ridiculously ill temperament, he would die in a woman's bed sooner or later, and there were few palace maids in the palace at that time who had not been fooled by him, and he died unjustly at all."
Empress Dowager Su looked at Qingqi in shock.
"Why didn't my father abolish you, first, he thought you were stupid, and second, he thought you were pitiful, you could not have entered the palace at that time, but you had to enter the palace. Afterwards, my father obviously found an opportunity for your father to persuade you, but you refused to leave. Of course, he won't depose you for no reason, it's your own choice. ”
"I'm here now to tell you that the stability of Eastern Qin is only temporary, and you also know that since the end of Emperor Cheng's lineage, the surrounding vassal kings have long been fluctuating, and they have taken advantage of the turmoil in Silingzhou to start making waves in various places, if you want to live, stabilize your father and guard the capital.
"If your father wants to usurp the throne, it's not impossible, but you have to promise me, don't hurt the little emperor, he is young, and he hasn't made any mistakes, if you don't worry about him, I can write a letter and ask people to send him to Xiliang to be a proton."
Qingqi really has no better way to stabilize the situation in Dongqin, once his father leaves Dongqin, Dongqin is a plate of scattered sand, it is impossible for relatives outside Beijing not to move, even if the Empress Dowager Su's family does not move, there are other courtiers and clans, there will always be people who want to jump out and get a piece of the pie.
But no matter who jumps out, in the end the little emperor is a victim.
If the capital is in chaos, it will be the people of the capital who will suffer in the end.
So it's better to negotiate the conditions from the beginning, as long as the Su family can stabilize the situation in the capital, why not if you really want to usurp the throne?
The current situation of Silingzhou will have a unified day sooner or later, but before that day comes, she still hopes to minimize the innocent casualties.
Empress Dowager Su, she can't say that she fully understands, but there is one thing that she is true and difficult to say, that is, she is really in love.
The things she did not only knew her, but her father knew better, and even her thoughts were clear to her father. But except for the original death of Emperor Cheng, she has not done anything out of the ordinary, and it is not easy for her to be a woman in the deep palace, so she can't hurt her because of her thoughts.
Therefore, after her father only firmly rejected her, he tried to meet as little as possible to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings to her.
She is as happy as she is, no matter whether her father responds or not, she is always the same.
"But do you know, I don't want anything, I don't want any queen mother, I don't care what kind of power the Su family can have, I don't care about the future, I just want him to stay, he stays, I only have such a small wish, even if it is to guard it for a lifetime, as long as I can see him, why can't I realize such a small wish......"
After a short period of shock, the Empress Dowager Su fell into a collapse again, she fell on the chair, tears fell down in big eyes,
The whole person seemed to be drained of all his essence in an instant.
Qingqi really hates iron and steel, she has been the queen mother for so many years, if she is replaced by someone else, not to mention listening to the government, she has already thought of a way to control the government, she is good, she is full of only men.
Even if this man is Qingmai's father, Qinghua also feels that Empress Dowager Su is really hopeless.
She just analyzed it in vain.
She couldn't help but begin to wonder, was her idea of coming to Empress Dowager Su really correct?
Qingqi was speechless for a while, and even began to wonder if she was a little too whimsical.
She was silent for a while, and finally remembered that Empress Dowager Su's father was Mrs. Su, and that was an old fox.
There is a reason why my father has been in charge of the government for so many years, and he has not touched Mrs. Su.
She got up and walked to the gate of the palace and said to the palace maid, "Go and see if Mrs. Su has entered the palace, and invite Mrs. Su over." ”
Empress Dowager Su slowly came back to her senses and asked her in a trance: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I don't want to do anything, but I advise you to be sober, you should know that your father has no heart for you, and it is impossible for you to have a heart, you should die." Qinghua herself is ignorant of emotional matters, and it is impossible for her to understand the feelings of Empress Dowager Su.
"Father left Silingzhou, it is impossible to come back in the future, and when the little emperor is settled, I will not come back, you can toss if you want, and you can toss as much as you like!" Qingqi has given up communicating with the love brain.
After she lost her heart, she also lost a lot of feelings that she could experience, but along the way, she met many women who amazed her.
For example, the eldest princess of Xiangyang, she relied on her own strength to turn the tide, and for the sake of the country and the people, she could put her life and death out of the way.
For example, Song Tanxi, if you are ruthless, I will take a break, even if you become a beggar on the street, you still do not change your original intention and avenge your father.
For example, Xu Manjin, no matter what desperate situation she falls into again and again, she can find her own way out and live for herself.
Even like Liu Shuangyue, she is the one who fell in love with Chen Shuangxu, for this love, she was tortured, lost her life, and blackened several times, but in the end, she also came to her senses.
They're all shining.
So for Empress Dowager Su, she is neither really ruthless enough, nor really crazy enough, and she doesn't even do anything particularly out of the ordinary, she just blindly immerses herself in her fantasies, and she can't say that she is wrong, she can only say ......
The green tree is also speechless.
At this time, the palace maid reported outside, "The county lord, Niangniang, Mrs. Su has arrived." ”
"Enter." Qingshu answered.
Mrs. Su walked in alone, first saluted the two of them in a proper manner, and then swept her eyes over her crying daughter in a trance, the old fox thought of the crux of the problem almost instantly, and asked Qingqi cautiously,
"Dare to ask the county lord, but what does the regent have to say?"
