Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 316 The Contest with the Queen Mother
"Just now you said that outsiders thought that the empress dowager was committed to Dorgon. Where did this come from? The empress dowager is the concubine of the first emperor, how could she be ambiguous with the courtiers?" I said with a more cautious expression. Nai wanted to gossip fiercely in his heart.

"That's a long story. The life of the empress dowager is a biography with ups and downs!" Shui Ling said with a shining face, and it could be seen that the empress dowager was an idol in her heart. goddess.

I let down my hair and wrapped it around my fingertips. I looked at Shui Ling in the bronze mirror and said, "Let's make a long story short."

Shui Ling applied the maintenance prescriptions for me, needless to say, it was Yanran who came up with it, she got angry when she mentioned Yanran, she read the medical books and worked out a set of beauty and beauty prescriptions, let me be Not to mention, the little white mouse said quite proudly: "I have worked so hard for you. You may not be as beautiful and beautiful as others today, and you may not be as beautiful as others tomorrow. Then we will wait until they are all gone." When you are old, you can still be as gorgeous as you are now."

Grandma's, can I be compared to a group of old ladies when I co-author?
"Your Majesty, why do you care about the Empress Dowager today?" Shui Ling looked at me in surprise.

"Anyway, I'll just listen to you when you're free. You can't just listen to the beginning without the end. Besides, the empress dowager and I have a grudge, so I have to do everything possible to please her, otherwise she will miss it every day. Me, I'm not having a good day."

Shui Ling's incomparably gratified gaze was reflected in the bronze mirror. She probably touched me and finally thought about it. She nodded and said without stopping: "This has to start with the Queen Mother when she was a child, but I also heard it from hearsay. It's true and false. Listen to the excitement. The first time the Empress Dowager saw Emperor Xian was on the day of the wedding of Emperor Xian and Empress Zhe Zhexian. At that time, Emperor Xian was heroic and full of flair. He not only had the heroic spirit of a Mongolian warrior, but also had a beauty that a rough man did not have. Gentle, the queen mother fell in love at first sight and admired the first emperor. Later, by chance, Dorgon fell in love with the queen mother at first sight again, and even acted crazy. It can almost be said that if the queen mother was willing to be with him, he would give everything. But even so, the queen mother still chose The late emperor who used her as a tool for political marriage."

"Then the first emperor didn't like the Queen Mother at that time?" I looked at Shui Ling in confusion. As for the story between Xiao Zhuang and Huang Taiji, I had only watched Xiao Zhuang's Secret History, which may not even be considered as an unofficial TV series. There I remember that Xiao Zhuang and Dorgon had a relationship, and Huang Taiji was more like a latecomer who captured the beauty of others.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The late Emperor is not an ordinary person. He just met the Empress Dowager roughly on the day of his wedding. At that time, the Empress Dowager was still a baby girl. How could the late Emperor be in love?"

I think so too, Huang Taiji is also a person with great ambitions anyway, how could he spend all day thinking about the love of his children and lingering among his female relatives.I nodded, motioning for Shui Ling to continue.

Shui Ling took a sip of water and continued: "The empress dowager is beautiful, and she is at the age like flowers and jade. She stands out from the crowd among the women of the late emperor. How can the late emperor not be moved by a man? The empress dowager was deeply favored by the late emperor until" Shui Ling returned Without opening my mouth, I interjected, "Know that Concubine Chen is entering the palace?"

Shui Ling nodded, and she began to talk eloquently: "After Concubine Chen entered the palace, it seemed that the strongest emotion of the late emperor was ignited. In the eyes of the late emperor, it seemed that only Concubine Chen was left. The late emperor also loved the empress dowager, but this Concubine Chen's affection, compared with the strong and fiery emotions for Concubine Chen, it seems dim. The Queen Mother suffered from the affection of sisters, struggled with the relationship between husband and wife with the first emperor, and was swayed by power and desire. Later, Concubine Chen died, and the first emperor and The empress dowager's feelings were even weaker. To concubine Chen, it was like the most splendid fireworks in the sky. It bloomed enthusiastically, but soon fell. Some people said that it was the empress dowager who started it, and even the death of the eighth son was implicated in the empress dowager. I don't know the truth, but I always feel that it's not the Queen Mother."

"Why?" An Ning probably didn't tell anyone about the small bamboo house on Mount Wutai, and Shui Ling naturally didn't know about it either.

"Because the Queen Mother often misses the late Concubine Chen, the sisterly love in her eyes does not seem to be fake." Shui Ling said suddenly.

"And then, how did the queen mother keep the emperor's throne by herself?" I couldn't wait to ask.

"When the first emperor passed away, he did not leave any entrustment. Among the princes, Prince Li Daishan, Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Ying Azige, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Su Haoge, etc., all had disputes. However, the focus of the conflict is mainly between Dorgon and Hauge. Although Dorgon is in power, it is not right to establish himself as the emperor. If Hauge is the emperor He will completely lose the power in his hands, so under the plan of the queen mother, Dorgon changed to support the emperor who was only six years old at the time, so that he could continue to control the government, wait for an opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers, and even replace him at any time. The queen mother naturally knew his ambition and supported the emperor It's just a tactic to slow down the army, the Empress Dowager secretly gathers military power and contacts the courtiers, as for the matter of committing herself, it's purely unofficial history." Shui Ling said again full of admiration.

"It can be seen that you adore the Empress Dowager?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at Shui Ling.

"That's natural. The empress dowager is not only beautiful, she is a hero among women, a heroine, and her stature is not inferior to that of a man. Not to mention me, even Gege admires the empress dowager very much. The empress dowager is a man among men." Longfeng, her life has been rough and brilliant!" Shui Ling said with bright eyes.

It has to be said that having and losing are always relative, and one person really cannot have too much.Even if I have a lot, such as Huang Taiji, I still remember what Huang Taiji said before his death at the end of the Secret History of Xiaozhuang: Why do I feel empty in my heart?Don't I have enough in this life?Throne, power, glory, virtuous wife, beautiful concubine, beloved son, confidant counselor, true brotherhood, and I was lucky enough to have a woman who fell in love with me in my life. Didn’t I have enough?But am I a hero if I have everything a man can dream of?We have gone through untold hardships and exhausted every penny of blood and sweat to climb a mountain called a hero, and finally succeeded and conquered.But I didn’t expect that the result was that there was no one around me standing on the cold windy mountain. I felt so lonely, as if I was happier when I looked up at the mountain at the foot of the mountain. At this time, I couldn’t help but want to ask myself what Is it a hero?

Perhaps in Shui Ling's heart, the Queen Mother's previous life was bumpy, but in the end she was no different from a winner in life. She helped her son stabilize the throne, and his son was also promising to get rid of many threats, but she was really happy at the pinnacle of her life. of it?Or was it the most beautiful moment in her life when she looked up at her elusive uncle when she was pregnant with spring?
