Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 318 The Contest with the Queen Mother ([-])

"Chungui Concubine is very attentive. Aijia knows that Aijia thought you said this scripture was obscure and difficult to understand, but now you are not so clear and think you are self-effacing. I just saw that this scripture is really different. It seems that we have to wait and do nothing. The master has answered the questions." The queen mother said and closed the scriptures and handed them to Su Keya.

"What the Empress Dowager said is true." I responded and returned to my seat.

"It's beyond Ai's expectation that you will come here today." The queen mother looked at me and greeted me.

"The concubine is not a person who knows how to behave. She often offends others without knowing it. The emperor said that the concubine is the lychee, which looks prickly on the outside. If you know it carefully, there is something wrong with it. The concubine wants to get closer to the queen mother, and does not ask for it. If you like it, it would be nice to let the Queen Mother know what Chen Qie is like. On the other hand, Chen Qie listened to Shui Ling always talking about how wise the Queen Mother used to be, she was a heroine, Zhuge among women. It’s better to meet real people than hearsay, those heroes before could only be glimpsed in books, but now it’s not in vain for a concubine to live like this.” As I spoke, I praised the Queen Mother again, this person always likes to be praised Yes, don't reach out and hit the smiling face.

"The Ai family only found out today that Concubine Chun is so good at talking." The Empress Dowager's smile remained the same, but wasn't this unchanging smile too fake?
"The empress dowager is absurd, and this concubine is picking up people's teeth." I really had nothing to say, neither of them wanted to talk to each other but they both had to hold each other and say, tired, I picked up the teacup and covered it with my sleeves She gave Xuan Ye a look: I can't hold on any longer, so hurry up and talk!
Xuan Ye cooperated with me tacitly, he looked at the Queen Mother and said in a childlike voice: "Xuan Ye misses Grandma Huang very much, I wonder if I can sleep well at night?"

The queen mother was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, her eyes were much warmer when she looked at Xuan Ye, which was completely different from the coldness in her eyes when she looked at me, and she said lovingly: "Grandma Huang is getting old, it's all harmless problems , it makes you worry."

"Xuan Ye reads medical books when he has time. The medical books say that any minor illness is a warning and needs to be paid more attention to. Grandma Huang often wakes up at night, mostly because of anxiety, or it may be a slight abnormality in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Symptoms should not be underestimated. Sleeping aids can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, Grandma Huang should keep happy and relaxed, and ask Imperial Physician Du to make a careful diagnosis.” Xuan Ye always speaks like a kid.

I don't know when he read medical books, but when he was talking, I was afraid that he would say Yanran's name. Recently, Concubine De and Concubine Hui have been in close contact, and it is better for Yanran to hide as deeply as possible. Fortunately, he was from the beginning to the end Not mentioned.

"Xuan Ye is filial, Aijia listens to Xuan Ye." The queen mother laughed happily.

It was originally a peaceful atmosphere, but at this time there was a closed-eyed nanny who had something to report.

"There is no human being here, just say what you want." The queen mother took a sip of the tea ceremony.

"Returning to your mother, this Tang Ruowang has entered the palace. The emperor bestowed Doctor Guanglu and received his first-rank seal. The emperor still wants to learn how to make cannons."

Tang Ruowang, as I remember, was a Western scientist and missionary who introduced Western scientific knowledge to the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, he had a selfish desire to preach widely. However, this person brought a lot of advanced knowledge, but it was a pity that Emperor Kangxi erased all the time.

The Empress Dowager obviously didn't have a good impression of Tang Ruowang, thinking about it, what kind of Western religions, materializing all idealist thoughts, how can this feudal and conservative thinking be acceptable.The Queen Mother glanced at Xuan Ye and said, "Do you know who this Tang Ruowang is?"

"Xuan Ye doesn't know, but Huang Ama admires him a lot and has good trust. Xuan Ye was fortunate to see him discuss with Huang Ama. Xuan Ye heard him say that our Qing Dynasty has enough soldiers and horses, but the weapons are backward. It’s the age of warm weapons, and cold weapons will be eliminated. He also talked about how to refine gold, which sounds like nonsense to me. I think he is trying to deceive Huang Ama’s trust with clever words and tricks. Let’s talk about how the Qing Dynasty wants to learn from the barbarians, they must have other plans!" Xuan Ye said that he also had great contempt for Tang Ruowang, and was extremely repulsed by advanced Western knowledge.For example, the Qing Dynasty is the center of the world, and the others are a group of mobs who should surrender.

Because of Xuan Ye's words, the Empress Dowager became happy, and she couldn't help nodding: "The emperor is now deceived by him, and he is tinkering with some Western gadgets. From the perspective of Ai's family, they are purely fancy and useless."

I didn't want to participate in it. Their words are just a joke hundreds of years later, and the frog in the bottom of the well is not enough to make me angry.I am time-traveling, and I always remind myself that history cannot be changed. I don’t know what will happen if it is changed. If it causes a series of butterfly effects, I don’t know what will happen in the future.This may be a paradox, a paradox that will never be explained, so if you can't change it, don't change it.But when I wanted to stay out of the matter, I heard the Queen Mother's voice: "What do you think, Concubine Chun?"

I carefully considered the queen mother's intentions. If I leaned towards Fulin, I would offend her. If I promised her that it was me, my words would reach Fulin's ears in minutes. Although I would not be rejected, but a person who cannot be like-minded At least this woman will make Fulin feel bad, I said perfunctorily: "The concubine is just serving the emperor..."

It's just that before I finished speaking, the Empress Dowager directly cut off my retreat: "Ai's family sees that Concubine Chun has read a lot of books, and she often talks endlessly. The emperor and Ai's family are convinced, don't shirk today."

I took a deep breath. In that case, let the butterfly be the butterfly. I looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I think of Wang Jiefu, the last paragraph of a poem "Injury Zhongyong" written by Zhongyong is: Zhongyong's comprehension, the heaven of receiving Also. The heaven that receives it is far more worthy than the talented man. If you die for everyone, you will not be able to receive it for others. The heaven you receive for it is so virtuous. "Today, the sky that is not accepted by the husband is for the people, and the people who are not accepted can be just for the people?"

The queen mother probably already knew what I wanted to say, and her face was already a little displeased.Xuan Ye said happily: "I only learned it a few days ago. It is said that a child named Fang Zhongyong was very talented. He could compose poetry at the age of five, but he gradually became an ordinary person if he didn't study hard the day after tomorrow." Xuan Ye said that in the end Xu also knew the crux of it, and he was a little more at a loss.

Shui Ling was originally comfortable, but now she also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, heard what I said, and stirred the silk handkerchief to worry about me.

"What do you mean?" The queen mother's voice was stiff.

"After hearing the words of the empress dowager, the concubine thought that Daqing is now like Fang Zhongyong, a gifted boy at the age of five, with great talents, but if he closed the country and built a car behind closed doors, he would be like Fang Zhongyong in adulthood, ordinary and even inferior. The queen." When I said this, I thought that the queen mother would be furious, but I didn't expect the queen mother to be so open, the teacup shattered into several petals beside me as soon as I said that.
