Queen's scheming

Chapter 313

The controversy in the Qiankun Palace stopped just like that. For five days, the six divisions were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. The imperial concubine Duanjing was pregnant, and she and Deng Zhaoyi were discussing with Deng Zhaoyi every day about the appointment of the crown prince. Open, accept Liugong's greetings and congratulations.

The day before the establishment of the crown prince, Shen Qingyi was lying tired on the beauty's couch, sipping the red dates and goji berry porridge in his hands. Tomorrow's ceremony is very important, so he must go through it energetically, Shen Qingyi thought so, and then I used half a cup in big gulps, and I will have strength when I am full. This is Deng Zhaoyi's original words!Before one was used up, Mother Jiang walked into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and Princess Yuexuan are here!"

Shen Qingyi hastily put down the bowl, got up to pick her up, and before she reached the door of the inner hall, she saw Princess Yuexuan supporting the Queen Mother to the front.

"The concubine is disrespectful, and the concubine greets the queen mother." Seeing the queen mother raised her hand and shouted, Shen Qingyi quickly stood up and helped the queen mother by her side. Princess Yuexuan, An Qingyao, went to take Yuji's hand with a smile carrying tray.

"They're all concubines, aren't they? I haven't gone to Cihui Palace to pay my respects these few days, so I'm so tired that the queen mother came here in person." Shen Qingyi smiled and looked at Jiang Nanny and said, "Hurry up and bring brother Xuan here, Show the Queen Mother!"

Shen Qingyi thought that the empress dowager came here in such a hurry, it should be because she didn't go to the Cihui Palace these few days, the empress dowager waited for most of her life, and finally she was looking forward to her grandson, love it like something, the weather is good Under normal circumstances, Shen Qingyi would take Ruixuan to Cihui Palace to let the Queen Mother see if she had gained weight or grown longer.

"Don't be busy! It's so late, the crown prince must be asleep, and there are still snowflakes floating outside, there is no need to freeze the prince, and his son Ai's house will go to the side room later!" The queen mother was nervous, brother Xuan Shen Qingyi is young, and often thinks more than Shen Qingyi, for fear that Brother Xuan will be wronged in the slightest.

Nanny Jiang was obedient, knowing that the Queen Mother had something to say to Shen Qingyi, although Shen Qingyi did not shy away from them, it didn't mean that the Queen Mother didn't shy away from them, so she led Yuji back very consciously.Ever since Brother Xuan was born, Yu He was called to Brother Xuan's side and became the aunt in charge of Brother Xuan. One point is that she knows martial arts, if there is something she can protect, after all, it is much better than the guards to serve her personally.

Princess Yuexuan An Qingyao brought a cup of tea to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was not in a hurry to use it, and said to Shen Qingyi in a harmonious voice: "I know you have been busy these days, and Ai's family didn't come over. I suddenly remembered something today. Things, come over and talk to you, just wait and see, whether it is feasible or not."

"Look at what my mother said, what you think of must be feasible, you say, my concubine listens to it." Shen Qingyi touched the tea on the small table, it was so hot that he just covered his hands, and stuffed it in In the palm of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager held the teacup and said lovingly: "Ai's family heard what the Minister of the Ministry of War said that day. Hmph, the little thought in his heart is unknown to others, and he wants to crawl out of his daughter's belly. When the eldest son of the king comes, he has to see if he has that kind of luck. Princess Qinya grew up in the Han Qi Dynasty, and she has never seen any dirty things. There is no need to worry about dealing with his daughter. I was lazy to talk to her, and all my thoughts were devoted to Prince Cheng, now that my heart is chilling, I have to treat the two side concubines in the backyard well, Qinya can't give birth, and neither of those two in the backyard can have children!"

Shen Qingyi nodded, she was noncommittal to Qinya's actions, and she didn't say much about the matter of Prince Cheng's Mansion. This incident was caused by her, and she didn't have the face to make irresponsible remarks, but in her heart she hoped that Qinya would do so. I did it, Gu Yiran has no heirs, I can't see anything now, I will grow old in the future, just like the Minister of the Ministry of War said, if Gu Yiran still has no heirs in 20 years, no matter how virtuous he is, who can support a childless man The emperor is out.

"The Ai family thought about it. The first few sentences of the Minister of the Ministry of War said that Brother Xuan of the Ai family could not speak, bow down, or accept orders. The Ai family was angry, but they couldn't find a suitable person. If the other mansion There is that promising kid in the book, and it will be fine to put it next to Brother Xuan as a companion, but there is no suitable candidate now." The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't hold the teacup in her hand, and the lid of the teacup stumbled against the edge of the teacup, ding There was a clang, and the queen mother simply put it on the small table instead of holding it.

Shen Qingyi put her hands in the palms of the Empress Dowager, and the palms of the Empress Dowager's palms were a little dry and warm due to the warmth of the teacup just now, just like the Empress Dowager's mood at the moment, "The concubine told the emperor that there should be etiquette, the same I will never miss it, brother Xuan can't speak, can't move, and there are concubines, as the lord of the palace, the third generation queen of Dali Kingdom, I don't have the qualifications yet, I will go to replace brother Xuan in person My son received the order and kowtowed, even those individuals would not dare to say anything!"

The queen mother shook her head, and said: "The Ai family also thought about it in the same way before, and I guess you and the emperor also meant the same thing, but after thinking about it later, it was a little inappropriate. You don't know about those old officials in the court, but the Ai family does know When the first emperor passed away, they had a lot of hard work for us orphans and widows. Aijia was just lying on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, when he remembered some old sesame seeds and rotten millet, so he changed his clothes again. Get up, and come to the condensin palace."

"The queen mother thought of something, just let someone announce the concubine to go, in this winter, your body hasn't recovered well..." The queen mother raised her hand to stop Shen Qingyi's words, and tightened Shen Qingyi's hand hand, said: "You haven't been out for a hundred days yet, don't you also have to work hard?"

"Don't blame the emperor for deciding this matter so forcefully and pushing you mother and son to the forefront. The emperor is afraid. He doesn't want what happened to us mother and son to happen to you mother and son one day. He wants to pave the way for you mother and child. The Ai family understands the pain in his heart. When he was only eight years old, he had to face the courtiers whose screwdriver broke the embryo. He must be afraid in his heart. The hands in the palms of Aijia were sweating, but he still supported himself, smiled and said to Aijia, don’t be afraid, he can protect Aijia!" The queen mother was about to cry as she spoke, her eyes were as red as those on the window sill. The touch of rouge camellia.

Princess Yuexuan handed over a plain brocade handkerchief, and comforted in a soft voice: "The Queen Mother should comfort you, the Emperor is considerate of you, mother and child are connected, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!"

The queen mother squeezed the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, look at the Ai family, who is worthless! The older you are, the more you will live back!"

"As Qingyao said, the empress dowager and the emperor's mother and child are connected, the concubine and brother Xuan are connected, the emperor and the concubine are of the same heart, there is nothing that cannot be overcome!" Shen Qingyi grabbed the queen mother's hand and smiled. It was warm and bright.

The queen mother nodded with satisfaction and said: "Aijia is thinking about the previous affairs, and he is a little worried. The emperor is so strong this time, it is hard to guarantee that it will not cause a backlash. When Aijia was still the crown princess, the great grandfather was also strong. One, the preparations in the head were done perfectly, but on the day of the big pawn, an admonisher bumped into a pillar in a daze. There are so many people who want to use this excuse to become famous through the ages, especially those in their [-]s and [-]s. I don’t know how much I look forward to such an opportunity, I haven’t been alive for a few years, and I can leave a name and earn my family a lot of glory, how can I not make a difference.”

Shen Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, and began to think carefully...

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea, moistened her mouth, and continued: "This time, the matter is urgent. In just five days, the courtiers have to go around to pray to the gods, and they also need to be familiar with the ritual system. It is strange that, Unexpectedly, no one has any complaints. How about the energy to block the emperor's mouth in the hall? When things go wrong, there must be demons. The Ai family thinks, they should all be waiting for tomorrow."

Shen Qingyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she said softly: "What does the empress mean, that the admonishing ministers may be splashed with blood on the spot? At Brother Xuan's inauguration ceremony..." Shen Qingyi was a little afraid to continue said.

The queen mother was silent and said: "Brother Xuan was born in October, this day is the ghost festival, some people say that they are rich and powerful, flying dragons in the sky, so naturally some people say something bad, what restrains the father and restrains the eyes, It can be said that there is no movement in Zhen Guogong's mansion and Cheng Wang's mansion. Ai's family is worried that what will happen when the ceremony is held tomorrow. Ai's family thinks about it, but still feels that Ai's family is holding Xuan My brother went to participate, and it was more of a burden, but after all, Aijia’s parents left early, only the brother of the Duke of the State, and the late emperor also left early, leaving us orphans and widows, Aijia’s life is not very good, I was afraid of offending brother Xuan, so I came to ask you what you mean."

"What did the empress mother say? The empress mother planned it wholeheartedly for Brother Xuan. No matter how ignorant the concubine is, can't she even understand this?" Shen Qingyi felt warm in her heart and was deeply moved. Ill, I haven't been out of the gate of Cihui Palace for a long time, and now I'm still worrying about her and Brother Xuan...

Shen Qingyi licked the broken hair between her temples, and raised her voice: "The queen mother is resting in the Cihui Palace with peace of mind, and the concubine won't believe it. Who would dare to bump into a pillar in front of the concubine tomorrow? The concubine is now Let people wrap all the pillars on the main hall of the Qiankun Palace with thick brocade quilts, and the concubines want to take a look. They will bump into the pillars tomorrow, but there will be no blood. What old face is staying inside? !"

The queen mother curled her lips and said: "Now is not the time to be angry. Without the pillars, there is no guarantee that they will not bump into the railing or the emperor's dragon chair. You can't wrap everything up. Go away, it's the queen mother." If they dare to have such an idea, don't blame the Ai family for carrying out the tablet of the late emperor as soon as they enter the palace tomorrow, and the Ai family will have to take a look, who dares to play a moth in front of the tablet of the late emperor!"

Shen Qingyi didn't expect the Empress Dowager to make such a big move, she burst into tears and said with a smile: "Mother, you are really successful!" Carrying the memorial tablet of the late emperor, she is really not enough to look down upon as a queen, it is better to let Queen Mother to go.

Unexpectedly, the smiles on Shen Qingyi and the queen mother hadn't dissipated yet, Zhang Yang trotted into the hall, Shen Qingyi was taken aback, Zhang Yang would never do such outrageous things, Mother Jiang and others all backed down, the queen mother returned In the hall, he didn't even report, what a big deal, it made Zhang Yang so flustered!
