back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 234 Respecting the Empress Dowager
Lu Chengqi, who just learned about these things from Queen Zhou Zhiruo, was so shocked that he couldn't hold his tongue.In his imagination, the relationship between the queen and the concubine would not be so bad, even if it was not so bad.

This is just Lu Chengqi's own imagination based on many rumors about his stepmother in later generations.In fact, the relationship between queens in the ancient harem, concubines, concubines, female officials, etc. is not like the TV court dramas of the later celestial dynasties, which are torn every day.It's all because Dashun's selection of palace candidates are all selected from the good family of the public, and they are all women who are educated, reasonable, talented and beautiful.

Such a woman actually understands her situation very well.If she abused some third-rate tricks for the sake of her so-called competitors and spread them to the ears of the emperor or empress, then she would never even think about being in power for the rest of her life.It is even possible to be cleared out of the palace and become the most shameful woman who was kicked out of the palace.At that time, it was really unacceptable in the world. If a person with a strong temperament wanted to survive, he could only voluntarily degenerate into a brothel; if he was not determined, suicide was also very possible.

It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for a court lady to intentionally harm someone.Who can know who will be favored by the emperor tomorrow and become a concubine or concubine?It's not bad for you to have a good relationship.Therefore, Dashun Harem is very harmonious most of the time.These female officials can be said to be colleagues.Unless there is a good show of seizing the heir, it is almost impossible to plot against others.Who has such time, is full and has nothing to do every day, and is thinking about plotting against others every day?I'm afraid there is no psychology that is so dark and inhuman, right?

When Lu Chengqi saw this young lady in front of him, who still had a charming charm, he secretly praised him, and quickly gave an elder salute and said, "I've seen you!"

Mrs. Liu was also from the family of Gongqing. Although her family's official position was only fourth grade and she has retired now, the bearing she developed since childhood is also extraordinary. She said: "My son is busy with state affairs, so I can only come to see you today. No wonder Today I heard magpies calling, it turns out that my son is coming."

Lu Chengqi was embarrassed for a while, if Zhou Zhiruo hadn't reminded him, he might still be busy with his own affairs now, how could he have thought that there is still a mother in name, the Queen Mother of Dashun in Jingfu Palace?
Lu Chengqi, whose emotional intelligence is not bad, quickly said: "I forgot to visit my mother recently, it really shouldn't be!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu burst into a smile from the bottom of her heart, and said, "My son has a heart, and I am relieved when I am old. What more can I ask for?"

Zhou Zhiruo laughed loudly at the side, and it was only when Liu Shi noticed her presence that she said, "If Zhiruo hadn't come here often, His Majesty would have forgotten that Laoshen is still in Jingfu Palace."

Lu Chengqi blushed again, not knowing what to say.Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo was on the side to chime in and said: "Your Majesty misses your Majesty, but there were many state affairs in the past, and His Majesty couldn't get away, so he let his concubine honor His Majesty on his behalf."

Liu's heart is actually like a bright mirror, she only half believed Zhou Zhiruo's words.Lu Chengqi's diligence, she has been heard many times in the harem, this should be true.But to say that he misses himself is an overstatement.

Immediately, he remained calm and said: "My son and Zhiruo must be tired from standing, let's go into the hall, drink tea and talk." After finishing speaking, supported by a maid, they entered the inner room of Jingfu Hall among.

What surprised Lu Chengqi the most was that unlike other palaces, the Jingfu Palace was filled with precious utensils, but instead were peasant utensils, many of which Lu Chengqi had never seen before.

Even through the doors and windows, Lu Chengqi could still see some threshed wheat stalks stacked on the palace wall near the back garden.Next to it is a large stone mill and a small deep well with wheels.

Lu Chengqi looked at the Juyi worn by Mrs. Liu, and thought in his heart: "Could it be that this Empress Dowager is really consistent with her appearance, and she is indeed tending the crops, raising silkworms and silk?" This Juyi, in Lu Chengqi's opinion, is just a royal family Women, for outsiders to wear.Those so-called marriage silks that make a gimmick are just for outsiders to see. Who can persevere day after day?
But looking at it now, it seems that Mrs. Liu really regards these few things as his lifelong career, not only raising silkworms and silk, but even planting wheat.

With amazement in his heart, he followed Mrs. Liu into her room.After sitting down according to priorities, the maid served tea, and Mrs. Liu asked them to go out and continue working.

Knowing that Lu Chengqi had doubts in his heart, Mrs. Liu said lightly: "The back garden is spacious, and it is a pity for me to see it deserted. Planting those flowers and grasses is not edible, so I planted wheat seedlings on my own. My son is the son of a country. Lord, Zhiruo is the lord of the first palace, so I don't think I can blame the old man for making his own decisions, right?"

Lu Chengqi didn't speak, but gave Zhou Zhiruo a wink.The husband and wife have been together for a long time, and they have cultivated a tacit understanding.Zhou Zhiruo naturally understood Lu Chengqi's meaning, and said with a smile: "What is the Empress Dowager talking about? Since the Taizu, this Houyuan has been the place where the Empress Dowager married and farmed and mulberry. It is really a good thing that the Empress Dowager only restores the ancestral system. How could His Majesty blame him? The courtiers and concubines are even more afraid, with the Empress Dowager present, the master of this palace, don't mention it..." After finishing speaking, he laughed.

Liu knows that she is flattering herself, but she is also very happy.She had no children. When she was 16 years old, she had a princess with Emperor Yuanshou, but she died young.Since then, there has been no birth.If the princess hadn't died young, Lu Chengqi might have another cheap sister.

This is exactly the reason why Mrs. Liu regards Lu Chengqi as her own.

Mrs. Liu didn't show her teeth in her smile, but her brows stretched out, and she looked extremely happy and said, "My son is really blessed to have such a good queen. You have to work harder, and give birth to a grandson for the old man." Come out, so that the old man can enjoy the fun of playing with his grandchildren."

These words directly made the thin-skinned Zhou Zhiruo blush.

Although they are already sharing the same bed, Lu Chengqi still hasn't broken through the last line of defense, and Zhou Zhiruo is always very resentful.She is already dressed as a woman, but she is still a big girl with yellow flowers, how can she say these words?

Hearing Mrs. Liu's ridicule, Zhou Zhiruo said in a nasty voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine seems to have a lot of experience in weaving cloth from the court ladies outside the palace, so I have to learn it, lest people in the world say that the concubine, as a queen, doesn't know how to raise silkworms." Silk."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Mrs. Liu and went out.Seeing her trotting with her legs crossed, Liu had some doubts in her heart, but it was inconvenient to ask.

Lu Chengqi sat opposite Liu Shi, but he was sitting on pins and needles.I always feel that Liu's sharp eyes have already seen through him.In fact, it was just that he had a ghost in his heart, and he was just scaring himself.

The question in Mrs. Liu's mind flashed past, took a sip of tribute tea, and said slowly: "Since my son suffered a serious illness, he seems to be sensible a lot. It's just that he has forgotten everything about the past. Zhiruo has already told the old man clearly Alright, is my son okay now?"
