Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 317 The Contest with the Queen Mother ([-])

"What are you thinking, ma'am?"

"Ah? Oh, I'm thinking I'll send it in person tomorrow, right? It's good for exchanging feelings, and it can also let you meet your idol!" I said and blinked at Shui Ling.

There is a radiance in Shui Ling's eyes that cannot be concealed. Thinking about the times when I met the Queen Mother, either swords were on the verge of breaking out or undercurrents were surging. Shui Ling was always frightened by my side, and sometimes even stood on the opposite side of the Queen Mother unintentionally.It's really embarrassing for her such a brainless fan.

Shui Ling looked at me weakly and comforted me: "The Empress Dowager is actually not that difficult. In the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager rarely puts on airs. She is kind and gentle. She always likes to chant scriptures and worship Buddha. It's just that the Empress Dowager may have experienced the danger of being a pet. Those who are naturally somewhat wary of the emperor's favorite women, the queen mother has her concerns, and she has no choice in the rights and family affection, sometimes it is not from her original intention."

"Okay, I know, if there are as many people who are born as bad people, it's not easy for anyone, but understanding is understanding, and I'm limited to understanding." Washed and slept.

During breakfast the next day, Shui Ling seemed very happy, so happy that Xuan Ye couldn't help asking me secretly: "What happened to Aunt Shui Ling today?"

"Today, I'm going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to send scriptures to the Empress Dowager. She is an admirer of the Empress Dowager." I secretly whispered to Xuanye.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Ye said calmly: "Grandma Huang is indeed powerful, even more powerful than Taifu Zhu."

Uh, there are so many fans of the Empress Dowager, so I pretended to be curious and said: "Teacher Zhu is already well-educated, and the Empress Dowager is even better than him. Isn't that going to search the entire library?"

After hearing this, Xuan Ye put down his chopsticks, and seemed to be planning to talk to me carefully: "Grandma Huang's power is a little different from Taifu Zhu's. Taifu Zhu's knowledge of ancient and modern times is naturally unmatched, but Grandma Huang's words are incisive, no matter how profound her thoughts are. A few words can clarify the essence, which is beyond Mrs. Zhu's reach."

"Oh!" I nodded and asked casually, "Why don't you go with me?"

Xuan Ye didn't speak for a while and picked up his chopsticks again. When I thought he was silently resisting, he said anxiously with a smile on his face: "I want to go, but Grandma Huang might not be happy." Ye's face darkened for a moment, and soon he was full of admiration again.

"If you understand what the Empress Dowager wants you to think, the Empress Dowager will be very happy. Manchu people pay attention to holding grandchildren and not having children. Now that the Empress Dowager is taking care of her for the rest of her life, it is time for her grandchildren. How could she not like it?" I was talking casually, whether Xuanye could please the Queen Mother or Fulin was out of my consideration.

Although Emperor Kangxi is known as the one emperor through the ages, in my eyes, apart from the astonishing number of wives and the astonishing time in his reign, there is nothing worthy of praise.The emerging signs of progress during the Shunzhi period were almost wiped out during the Kangxi period.Perhaps Emperor Kangxi's moderation and gentleness were indeed effective in maintaining stability and unity, but China, which was relatively closed to the outside world, began to gradually decline.

Although Xuan Ye, who is still a milk baby, is really hard to remind me of Kangxi in the historical design, but as soon as I think of it, my attitude towards Xuan Ye cools down.

"Then I'll go with you?" Xuan Ye's big watery eyes instantly lost their lethality!

"Would you like to go or not!" After I finished speaking, I focused on eating and ignored him.

This sudden 360-degree turn in my attitude doesn't mean that Xuanye didn't understand. So, everyone started to look at each other in blank dismay, and began to watch my face cautiously.

After breakfast, I went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning with the version I had copied in Mount Wutai, followed by Xuan Ye who was trembling and Shui Ling who looked excited.

Xuan Ye was a little afraid of me for some reason, and later learned from Nanny Lin that when I was unhappy, Xuan Ye would often ask her: Is it because I am not good that Concubine Chungui will not support me?

It seems that I not only subverted his outlook on life, but also left a lot of shadows on his young mind.

The Compassion Palace is filled with sandalwood, which smells quieter and more comfortable than the Buddhist temple.

Su Keya smiled and said: "The empress dowager is paying respects to the Buddha, and there is still time for a cup of tea, please wait a moment for noble concubine Chun."

"You're being polite, Su." Su Keya waited on me to sit down and pour tea. I felt a little uneasy. Seeing that the Compassionate Ning Palace is not without slaves, this made me feel a little panicked by the most proud person around the Queen Mother so personally!

"Your Majesty, sit down slowly, this old slave is going to order someone to prepare some cakes that Brother San likes." Su Keya said and walked away.

I poked Xuan Ye and asked, "Is this Madam Su always so hospitable?"

Xuan Ye looked at me blankly and said, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"

My attitude seems to have changed a little too quickly, I paused and said: "Don't change the subject, I'm asking you something."

Xuan Ye lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and after a while he raised his head and said: "When my mother-in-law came here, Madam Su always served by the Queen Mother's side, and I only saw Su when I lived in the Palace of Compassion. The nanny told others, except for Grandma Huang, she rarely sees her doing it herself."

"Well, I see. This tea is good. You should drink more." I said carelessly, and my thoughts drifted away with Su Keya's figure. The Queen Mother's attitude can be seen from Su Keya's attitude. It seems that now The queen mother's attitude towards me was quite polite and kind.But what is the reason for this sudden preferential treatment?
I don't even have a clue, but it's clear that this change won't happen for no reason, and I haven't done anything good, obviously the Queen Mother wants to do something, has she changed her tactics and played sugar-coated bombs up?
After Xuanye finished a plate of dim sum, the queen mother came out from the inner room gracefully, walking gracefully and gracefully.

"The concubine has met the empress dowager."

"Xuan Ye has met Grandma Huang."

Xuan Ye and I almost spoke in unison, but the voices were mixed together, but it was a bit indistinct. The Queen Mother smiled heartily and said: "It seems that you get along well, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you Empress Dowager/grandmother."

"This is the scripture that the concubine brought back from Wutai Mountain. I am not afraid of my mother's jokes. The concubine has copied it several times, but I am still at a loss. I think it is because the concubine is dull." I took the scripture from Shui Ling and added The explanation given by the bachelor was handed over to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager took the scriptures and glanced at them roughly. Her smiling eyes became deep and her brows were slightly frowned. She looked at me and said, "Is this really the scriptures you brought back from Mount Wutai?"

"What the empress dowager said, it was written by the concubine in Wutai Mountain, and it is exactly the same as the original. It was originally given to the concubine by Master Wuwei. It is inconvenient for the concubine to give it to the concubine. I hope the empress dowager will understand." I said and pointed to the queen mother The manuscript in his hand said: "This manuscript has an explanation given by a senior scholar, and there are also records made by my concubines who were inspired by several masters when they were in Wutai Mountain."
