Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

After the emperor left, Ruan Qing settled down and took a nap leisurely.

When I woke up, I was told that there were several unexpected visitors to Cining Palace - the emperor's five concubines.

Since taking over this body, Ruan Qing has been impatient to chat with a bunch of unfamiliar people.

The rule was set that all the concubines could come over on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and everyone would go their separate ways during the rest of the day.

For this reason, when she heard that Aunt Zhou, who was on duty, came to report that all the emperor's concubines were waiting to be summoned outside, she couldn't help but asked in surprise:

"Didn't you just greet me the day before yesterday? What are they doing here now?"

The day before yesterday was the first day of October, the prescribed greeting day, and the emperor's five concubines had just arrived.

"I don't know, I don't know." Grandma Zhou shook her head and waited aside with her hands down respectfully.

But I was complaining in my heart: Why else? Naturally, it is because His Majesty has not entered the harem for ten days.

When you came to greet me the day before yesterday, you were thinking about your own affairs and were obviously absent-minded. How could they dare to talk nonsense.

Today, I heard that the emperor came to have lunch with you. Didn't you take the opportunity to come over?

The little emperor is also quite interesting. He is already twenty-one years old and has no heirs around him, yet he is not in a hurry.

But he is not in a hurry, his concubines are.

I don’t know if the little emperor is not very good at it.

Ruan Qing...

Grandma Zhou looked at her as a taciturn person. She was a very young person. She was restless in her old age, but she wanted to imitate people and work carefully instead of talking. She was so rich in mental activities. She was really beyond appearances.

I complained a few words in my heart, but I couldn't leave the emperor's concubines outside.

He quickly put on his coat, came out of the palace, and walked to the entrance hall of the outer hall, where he saw five concubines sitting around drinking tea.

Qiu Cheng and Xia Li were waiting on the side.

The five of them are all seventeen or eighteen years old, in their prime. They are all more beautiful and have their own characteristics. Sitting together, it is really a visual feast.

It's a pity that although the five dazzling beauties are sitting together, they are obviously a little absent-minded.

Hey, such a lively and beautiful person racking her brains over when a man will sleep in her room is really a crime.

There will only be more and more beauties in the palace from now on, if you can't find a way to divert their attention.

If everyone's eyes are focused on the emperor alone, there will only be more and more disputes, and battles are inevitable.

By then, she, the Queen Mother, would be passively involved and would not be able to rest in peace.

Ruan Qing stood at the entrance and sighed softly, then walked out: "Why are you here at this time?"

"My son, I have met my mother." When the five of them saw Ruan Qing coming out, they quickly stood up and saluted her.

"My family, you don't need to be polite, just sit down and tell me what you have to do with the Ai family." Ruan Qing waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down.

Five beauties, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Concubine Wang stood up:

"After returning to my mother, Your Majesty has not entered the harem in the past ten days. I don't know if I have done something wrong. I hope the Queen Mother will give me instructions."

Generally speaking, if the emperor has not entered the harem for more than ten days, it is a bit shameful for the concubines to come to the queen mother to complain.

But why did the emperor still have no heir? It is said that many courtiers complained about this.

The courtiers were dissatisfied because the emperor had no heirs, and the concubines were naturally under pressure, and the royal concubine was no exception.

To be precise, Concubine Wang is under greater pressure.

She was the former crown princess and was about to become a queen again.

She had been married to the emperor for more than a year, and there was still no movement in her stomach.

Whenever someone accuses the emperor of having no heirs, most of the pressure will be poured on her.

The royal concubine often consulted the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse, and even asked her family to find a female doctor from outside to take a look at the palace quietly.

The conclusion drawn is that there is nothing wrong with the body.

Since there is nothing wrong with his body, he can only rely on the emperor's efforts.

However, the emperor is very busy and has not taken a step into the harem for almost half a month recently.

The anxious Concubine Wang heard that the Emperor came to the Queen Mother's place for dinner at noon.

After discussing with several other concubines, she decided to come over to find Ruan Qing.

In the past month or so, Ruan Qing's series of operations have completely reversed the bad impression in everyone's mind.

Let everyone subconsciously feel that if they have difficulties, they should come to the Queen Mother.

Especially when it concerns the emperor's heirs, you should approach the Queen Mother.

Ruan Qing...

My balls ached, but I didn't expect that as the Queen Mother, I would have to help the emperor's concubines solve the problem of the emperor not sleeping in their room.

I wonder if I can give up my choice?

Ruan Qing carefully recalled the relevant records in history.

Well, in ancient times, this kind of thing really required the Queen Mother to step in to solve it.

For the royal family, the issue of heirs is a big deal.

"The Ai family knows about this, and the Ai family will send someone to tell the emperor, but he has been too busy every day recently.

When he came over for dinner today, I saw that he looked quite haggard. You should be more considerate.

In addition, the sealing ceremony is about to take place. During the recent period, the Ai family feels that it is better to just let the situation take its course. "

Ruan Qing glanced at a few people and spoke after careful consideration.

When Wang Guifei heard the words that the ceremony for conferring the queen was imminent, her pretty face turned slightly red.

The other four people lowered their gazes sadly.

There is only one queen, everyone knows it.

As for the Concubine Wang, she was the Crown Princess before, and now she is established as the Queen. It is natural and reasonable.

But knowing it, everyone still couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The emperor was young, handsome and gentle in temperament, and his concubines were in the age of admiration. Almost all of them fell in love with him after several interactions with him.

Ruan Qing couldn't help but sigh when she saw this. After all, she was still a young girl.

Where in the palace is such an emotional place?

There is only one emperor, but there are so many concubines.

Even if the emperor is a passionate person, if all his concubines love him, no matter how passionate he is, he may not be able to repay them.

Women in the palace are most afraid of being emotional. Once they are emotional, they will easily be involved in all kinds of grudges and hatreds.

It's just that these words should be told to them by their parents. From her point of view, it's not easy to say.

Ruan Qing shook his head slightly, suppressed his emotions, and then continued:

"The other thing is that our Majesty's situation is different from other people. He didn't get married until after he got the crown. It's only been a year since he got married.

Concubine Wang Guifei, Concubine Yu Xian, and Concubine Liang Shu, the three of you came to him a year ago.

Xiao Jieyu and Li Zhaoyi, you two just entered the palace this year. You are all very young, so there is no need to worry about the issue of heirs.

The Ai family can assure you that they will never produce any heirs to you within three years.

If any courtiers make an issue out of this, the Ai family will help you block them.

When living in the palace, you must first calm down.

Life is so long, how should you live it if you are impatient about everything?

It just so happens that you are all here, come and play leaf cards with the Aijia. The Aijia have invented a new way of playing in the past two days, which is very interesting.

After you learn it, if you feel bored in the future, you can also invite the maids and nuns to play together. "

Ruan Qing could not make them stop loving the emperor, but he could find a way to divert their attention.

Leaf tiles, also called madiao, are the mahjong of later generations.

Bringing in the gameplay from later generations, you won’t have to worry about attracting their attention.
