Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"Be careful what you say." Wu Guogong frowned.

"Be careful what you say. Seeing that your son's life is in danger, why should you be cautious?

When Miao'er was elected as the Crown Princess, we thought that Empress Dowager Ruan and her son were helpless. As long as the Wang family was willing to help, His Majesty would definitely look at our Wang family differently after he took the throne.

As a result, we have pushed people to the top now, but their mother and son have been in power for less than a year, and they are ready to kill the donkey. "Fan couldn't help crying as she spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is the prince now. The late emperor Bintian (Note: Baijia Forum said that the emperor's death is called bintian, which means heaven is a guest.) His accession to the throne is a matter of course. How come you have become us? Pushed up?

You are also from a famous family, so you should know that misfortune comes from the mouth. "Wu Guogong was so frightened that he almost couldn't help but rush forward and cover his old wife's mouth.

He was also very unhappy that the Queen Mother behaved so unkindly towards Luo'er.

The person who might become the head of the Wang family is obviously not a person who lets his emotions dominate his reason.

The Wang family is indeed powerful now, but it is not so powerful that it can stand up to the royal family on its own.

Even if the Wang family really had this strength, he would not do such a criticized thing.

As the head of a prominent family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, if his vision is so short-sighted, it means that the family is not far from extinction.

"You, why are you so loud? I, I was just talking casually at home." Fan was startled and her voice lowered unconsciously.

"It's not okay to say it at home. Our Wang family is currently in a raging fire. If we still can't learn to be careful in our words and deeds, we will force the emperor and the queen mother to attack us.

I will not interfere in Luo'er's affairs, and you are not allowed to interfere. It is entirely up to the royal family. You should know that you are not just Luo'er's son. "Wu Guogong warned his wife, swung the curtain and walked out.

In Cining Palace, after Prime Minister Gu and Duke Wu left, Ruan Qing stood in front of the window and stared at the scenery outside in a daze.

She was reflecting on what she had done recently. She had been busy lately, and she was eager to achieve results. Unknowingly, she had brought over the troubled work habits from her previous life.

In addition, he holds a high position and holds the power of life and death for countless people, so suspicion and other problems quietly breed in his heart.

If this continues, she will definitely move towards becoming a queen step by step, and eventually turn against her son.

At that time, she will either sideline her son and become a powerful queen that all officials fear.

Judging from Daxi's current condition, which is plagued by numerous illnesses, if she wants to become queen, she will most likely end up dying of exhaustion.

Or, he will be forced to death by his son and courtiers.

Either way, it is not the life she wants, and it goes against her original intention.

She has a somewhat strong personality, but she is not a power-hungry person. She was so timid in her previous life, but she just wanted to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible so that she could sleep peacefully.

Unexpectedly, if the final wish is not realized, the person will die from exhaustion.

She has been the queen mother all her life, so why do she still have to think about it and insist on being involved in life and death, and in the end, become a loner who is hated by everyone and hated by ghosts?

If you want to make people's lives better and the court more clear, you can choose another way, which is to reasonably delegate power, distribute benefits according to the needs of different groups of people, and gather talents from all over the world.

Rather than like now, endless battles of wits and courage with others every day.

A truly good leader does not have to do everything himself, but should learn to distribute interests reasonably and let others help you willingly.

Ruan Qing, who stood in front of the window and reflected seriously for more than half an hour, decided to change his strategy and turned to Liang Fan and said:

"Liang Fan, go and tell His Majesty that the Queen is pregnant and has made great contributions to the people and the country.

Ask him to invite Mr. Wu Guogong and his wife into the palace, and they will have a family dinner together at the Queen's Fengqi Palace tomorrow. "

The emperor was immersed in the joy of the palace. After hearing Liang Fan's message, he felt that it was reasonable and immediately went to the Duke's Mansion to deliver the message.

"Master, what do you think your Majesty is?" Mrs. Fan, who had just been scolded by Duke Wu not long ago, looked at her husband uneasily.

"Perhaps the Queen Mother is worried that what she said today will be harsh, and wants to take advantage of the Queen's pregnancy to treat us to a meal to ease the relationship.

No matter what, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty will not do anything to us at this time.

When you arrive at the palace tomorrow, remember to watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense. "Wu Guogong frowned and thought for a moment before saying.

The next day, at the end of the day, Wu Guogong and his wife Fan came to Fengqi Palace together.

Ruan Qing was talking to Queen Wang in the palace and heard reports from the palace that Duke Wu and his wife had arrived.

"Let them in quickly." Ruan Qing said.

"My king is filial, and my wife Fan has met the Queen Mother and the Queen." The two came in and bowed to Ruan Qing and the Queen in a polite manner.

"We are all one family, so there is no need to give such a big gift." Ruan Qing walked over and helped the two of them up personally.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Wu Guogong and his wife were flattered, but also felt a little uneasy.

When the royal family holds banquets, there is always no good banquet.

The Queen Mother suddenly treated her with such courtesy? What was she planning?

"Sit down, we are in-laws. If the emperor can successfully ascend the throne and secure power, his in-laws will help a lot.

I have long wanted to find an opportunity to invite you two to talk about our daily lives and express our innermost thoughts.

It happens that the Queen is happy, so I took this opportunity to entertain you two. Today is purely a family banquet, and we do not adhere to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. " Ruan Qing seemed completely unaware of their nervousness and defensiveness, and spoke very cordially.

"The Empress Dowager is serious. Your Majesty was once the Crown Prince, the late Emperor Bintian. His accession to the throne is a matter of course. I dare not take credit.

The Queen told us more than once that the Queen Mother treated her like her own daughter, taking care of her in every possible way, and I was filled with gratitude. " Wu Guogong said hurriedly.

"Father is right, the mother treats her sons and ministers as she treats her own daughters." Empress Wang answered in time.

"My daughter-in-law is no different from my daughter, so I should treat her well.

There is still time before the luncheon, and my mother-in-law rarely visits the palace. You talk to the queen first. The Ai family has asked the small kitchen to prepare a few new dishes. I will go over to take a look, and I will come to accompany you later. "

Ruan Qing glanced at the three of them and thoughtfully left space for the family of three.

If you want to change your strategy and get closer to your ministers, you need to do it bit by bit, don't rush.

Being too hasty can be self-defeating.

Ruan Qing left for about an hour and came to Fengqi Palace again near the end of noon.

When she came, the emperor also finished his business and came over.

"Mother is here, the luncheon has been prepared, and we are going to invite you." The emperor saw her and said with a smile.

"Well, now that it's ready, let's have a banquet."

There are not many dishes, only twelve in total, including two soups and four hot pots.

"I haven't seen many of the dishes before. Are they new dishes from the palace?" Wu Guogong asked curiously as he looked at the several dishes on the table that he had never seen before.

"The Ai family doesn't have any special hobbies in this life. They just have a better appetite. When they are not busy, they let the chefs in the small kitchen study some new dishes to taste.

This dish is called scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It tastes sweet and sour and very refreshing. Do you want to try it? Ruan Qing smiled slightly and pointed to a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
