The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Qiqige got the emperor's permission and couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She bid farewell to everyone dignifiedly and politely, and walked to the emperor's private treasury with small, leisurely steps.

When she got to the place where she was carrying someone, Qiqige immediately showed her true colors.

"If you don't learn your lesson, you will suffer and get beaten! Aruna, go back and get the sacks, I haven't used them for many years, my sack is almost depressed!"

Aruna persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty, be merciful, the Emperor is still young."

Qiqige said seriously: "Because he is young, let's not let him go!"

"You are talking so loudly now, when you make the emperor cry, don't coax him."

Qiqige said with a smirk: "Hey, the emperor is married and feels that he has grown up. He has more face than before. Why would he cry in front of his wife? Hurry up! Let's go to the emperor's private treasury. I hear gold calling me!"

Arriving at the emperor's private treasury, Qiqige did not expect to see an old acquaintance.

"Huh? Your name is... Yunlai, right? I used to serve the late emperor."

Yunlai wanted to faint when he saw Qiqige. He had been in the palace for many years and knew the temper of this empress well.

He hurriedly saluted and said hello, "The empress dowager has a good memory, and the slave is just brought here."

Qiqige laughed teasingly and said: "You are lucky to serve the first emperor and then the emperor."

Those who are court ladies and eunuchs all want to get close to their master, the more highly valued they are by the master, the higher their status.How many eunuchs wanted to get close to the emperor and broke their heads, and they were transported to serve the former emperor, but they could still stay here with the emperor, and they still managed the emperor's private treasury, which shows that he can exploit.

Two wars were brought in, and my heart was filled with fear.

He carefully apologized, "The slave's good luck is all thanks to the blessing of the empress. I don't know why the empress came here?"

Qiqige tilted her head and motioned him to look at the sack behind, "You are an old man in the palace, don't you understand this?"

Yunlai felt sour and almost shed tears.

"Your Majesty, counting this time, it's the third time, why don't you get involved?"

Qiqige said with a smile: "They all say that there are only three things, I'll finish this time first and then talk about it!"

She waved her hand to the back, and two strong eunuchs grabbed Yun's arms, and they from Xian'an Palace strode into the emperor's private treasury.

Qiqige gave instructions, "I don't want calligraphy, painting, literature, antiques, but only gold, silver, jade, gemstones and pearls. Everyone has experience in who will record and who will take things? I won't ask you any more, just watch and take them!" "

The people of Xian'an Palace immediately moved into action, with brisk steps and skillful movements.Qiqige walked to the door with her hands behind her back, chatting with Yunlai while basking in the sun.

"Long time no see, have you had a good time?"

Yunlai felt sore, and didn't dare to cry yet.In the palace, it is unlucky to cry in front of the master.

He tried his best to force a smile, "Return to the Empress Dowager, thanks to your blessing, everything...is fine for this slave!"

In the end, the "everything is fine" was already crying, and Qiqige felt that he was not very well.

"If you are having a bad time, you can come to my Xian'an Palace."

Yunlai shook his head in horror when he heard this, he didn't want to follow the queen mother, he didn't want to come over to empty the emperor's private treasury one day in the future, he didn't have the guts.

Looking at the maids and eunuchs in Xian'an Palace, Yunlai admired them deeply.How did they manage to take things without changing their faces?fear!

Yun Lai faltered and refused, "Slave...slave...stupid, not worthy to go to Xian'an Palace to serve the Queen Mother."

Qiqige persuaded: "It's good to follow me. Look at the people in Xian'an Palace, how good-looking they are!"

Yunlai: What is the spiritual outlook?I was afraid that I would have mental problems when I went there.

Qiqige was just teasing him, not really wanting to transfer him to Xian'an Palace.The head of the private treasury is doing a good job, this job is leisurely and secure, and he will not be able to take this job when he goes to Xian'an Palace.

Aruna took the people and quickly packed up the gold, silver and jewelry.Qiqige nodded at Yunlai, "You do your job well, I wish you a happy life!"

Yunlai thanked the Empress Dowager for her blessings, the tears in his heart flowed like rivers, I'm afraid he will never be happy again...

When going back, Qiqige picked out some jewels for Aruna to send to the Empress Dowager and Empress.

"Everyone is blessed to share! The meeting will be divided into half, so that they can be happy."

The Empress Dowager was used to the filial piety of her daughter-in-law, so she accepted her grandson's private money very calmly.

But Hershey, who received a gift for the first time, was frightened.

Aruna wrapped the gold and silver in colored silk and sent it. When Hesheli saw the big package of gold and silver, she felt uneasy.

What is the empress dowager giving gold and silver for this New Year's Day?

The Hesheli family declined: "The concubine has no merit, and dare not accept the Queen Mother's reward."

Aruna smiled and explained: "The queen mother went to the emperor's private treasury and took out some gold and silver. These were specially ordered by the queen mother to be sent by the servants. The queen mother said that it is her rule to share half of the meeting. Everyone Be happy. The Empress Dowager also has a share, so please don’t refuse, Empress Dowager.”

Hesheli was a little confused, "Didn't the empress dowager go to the emperor's private treasury to see Tang Bohu's landscape paintings? Why...how did you take out so much gold and silver?"

Aruna patiently explained the logical relationship to Hesheli.

"The empress dowager went to the private treasury to look at the paintings. The emperor promised that she would take them away if she likes them. The empress dowager doesn't like landscape paintings, but gold and silver, so she took them. This is according to the emperor's will. Empress dowager, do you understand this servant's explanation? ?”

Hershey was silent, I seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand...

Aruna saluted with a smile, "Empress Empress, the slave has to go back to help the Empress Dowager tidy up the warehouse, so I will take my leave first, empress, don't blame me."

Hershey nodded in a daze, completely missing the usual cleverness and tact.

"Oh, ah, you go back!"

When Aruna left, the maids and nurses around Hesheli got together in a panic and couldn't care less about etiquette.

The mother said: "Mother! The empress dowager gave you a large bag of gold and silver. There will only be more for the empress dowager, and she will keep some for herself. She...she has emptied the emperor's private treasury, right?"

The maid said: "Your Majesty, what should I do with the gold and silver? Are you keeping it quietly? If the Emperor finds out, will the Emperor be angry?"

Hershey's heart was very confused, and she didn't know what to do.

At noon, the emperor came to Kunning Palace to have lunch with the empress.

He looked gloomy when he came, it seemed that he knew about the private treasury.

Hershey secretly looked at the emperor's expression, feeling very uneasy.

The emperor sat down with a sullen face, and the palace maid tremblingly brought water over to wait for him to wash his hands.

The emperor washed his hands, and Hershey quickly handed over the towel.

"What did the Queen Mother give you?"

Hesheli was shocked, it turned out that the emperor knew about it.

She said hastily: "The concubine is about to tell you about this! The Queen Mother sent a bag of gold and silver, and the concubine will show it to you."

The maid hurriedly took out the burden, the emperor flipped through it twice, feeling a little empty in his heart, these things were originally his...

The emperor sighed: "The Queen Mother is too cunning, she said to go to see the paintings, I thought she only took the paintings, but I didn't expect that the paintings were kept, and all the gold was taken away."

Seeing that the emperor was so depressed, Hershey couldn't help giving him a nod.

"Who told the concubine that the queen mother is the most innocent person in this palace?"

The emperor: "..." There is no way to refute it.

After talking back, Hershey regretted it again. She always remembered her grandfather's teaching that the emperor is a husband and even an emperor, and she must be more cautious in her words and deeds.

Hershey hurriedly pushed the bag of gold and silver to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take this back! Your concubines don't need these things."

How can the emperor be so stingy, he smiled and pushed the gold and silver back, "Since it was given to you by the emperor's mother, you can keep it with peace of mind. We are a husband and wife, isn't it the same for you as it is for me?"

Hershey thought sourly: How could it be the same?With me the gold is mine, but with you you may have to give it to other women.If you think about it this way, it’s better to stay with me!

Hershey put away the gold and silver, and she said innocently to the emperor: "In the future, you can put the gold and silver with your concubines. The Queen Mother loves your concubines. She will only subsidize me, and will not take silver from me." .”

The emperor didn't think much about it, he just made fun of Hesheli, "Okay, I'll put all the gold and silver with you from now on. You think of a way to dig the silver from the Queen Mother, and I'll rely on you to get rich in the future!"

Hesheli smiled shyly and timidly, "The emperor is joking again."

Hershey put away the bag of gold and silver, feeling a little regretful.

She thought to herself that when she saw the Queen Mother in the future, she must persuade the Queen Mother to buy more antique calligraphy and paintings. A good antique can be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver, which is much more cost-effective than taking gold, silver and jewelry directly.It's best for the empress dowager to clean up the emperor's private treasury, so as not to hurt other concubines.

Xuan Ye didn't know that his virtuous and generous queen was jealous and wanted to encourage the queen mother to empty out his family fortune.

No matter what others think, Qiqige is very satisfied with this harvest.

After tidying up the warehouse, Qiqige packed her bags and went to live in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

The Empress Dowager was worried when she saw Qiqige, she really didn't like food with clear soup and little water!

Qiqige knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression, and she said angrily: "Don't worry! I won't give you any vegetable leaves! I am no longer Wuxia Amon, you just wait for delicious food Bar!"

Qiqige has been busy in the dining room all morning, and the lunch served at noon has both meat and vegetables.

There is the empress dowager's favorite mutton, but it is not roasted mutton, it is stewed with medicinal herbs in it.The soup does not have a trace of fishy smell, it is delicious and not greasy, and the stewed mutton is soft and rotten, and it can be crushed with a light sip, which is very suitable for the elderly with bad teeth like the Empress Dowager.

In addition to mutton, there is also a fish fillet that the Queen Mother likes very much.The fish meat is tender and smooth, and the fish fillets are trembling when sandwiched, which is very cute.

In addition, there were several vegetarian stir-fried and cold dishes. The Empress Dowager took two bites of each dish, and she seemed not very interested.

Finally, there is a dessert, rose yam cake.The white and tender yam was sprinkled with a layer of rouge-colored rose sauce. This dessert was not only beautiful in color, but also had the softness of yam and the fragrance of rose. The queen mother couldn't help but eat a few more mouthfuls.

Calculating carefully, it has been less than 30 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. After entering the customs, the empress dowager and others still maintained the eating habits outside the customs, preferring meat with heavy oil and salt.

Of course, the royal chef in the palace must cook according to the master's taste and habits, or cook some difficult dishes for the sake of showing off his skills.The Empress Dowager is very happy to be able to eat such a dish, and she still feels delicious after eating it coldly.

Qiqige knows that changing a person's eating habits does not happen overnight, and she will take it slowly this time.

After eating and eliminating food, Qiqige took a nap on the empress dowager's side.You don't need too much nap time, two quarters of an hour is enough.

After waking up from the afternoon nap, the Empress Dowager went to work on her own affairs, and Qiqige continued to prepare supper for the evening.

Supper is also mainly light. The elderly have high blood pressure, so they can't make some fried skewers for her to eat.

Wontons with thin skin and big stuffing, stuffed with shrimp, fresh and springy when you bite down.It's too shabby to eat only wontons, so Qiqige prepared a few light side dishes.

The empress dowager was very satisfied with this meal of small wontons. She used to drink some milk tea and eat some snacks at night, but she didn't have small wontons to eat.

The next morning, tofu brains, small steamed buns with vegetarian fillings, marinated quail eggs, and a few fresh cold dishes were served on the table, filling and nutritious.

Qiqige cooked for the Empress Dowager in different ways, and took the Empress Dowager to dance square dances in the yard every day after breakfast.

Once, Qiqige was the defending king of the square, and now she wants to carry forward the square dance in the Qing Dynasty.As Qiqige's mother-in-law, Bumbutai must stand up!She can't live up to her daughter-in-law's expectations and must become a new star in the square dance world!

The empress dowager was surrounded by her daughter-in-law. She was pampered and lacked exercise for many years. After a day of square dancing, she was tired and sore all over.

Qiqige coaxed and lied to her, but at least she was able to persevere.

After about a month, the Empress Dowager herself also noticed the changes in her body.

Not only the symptoms of dizziness have been relieved, but also the body is much lighter, and walking is stronger than before.

The Empress Dowager is in good health, and everyone in the palace is happy.But after a few days of unhappiness, the Empress Dowager and Qi Qige quarreled.

The reason is not that the Empress Dowager dislikes Qiqige's cooking too vegetarian, but that she wants to marry the second princess to Oboi's nephew.

When Qiqige heard the news, she firmly opposed it.

Oboi is arrogant, the empress dowager and the emperor can't punish him now, when they accumulate enough power, they will definitely get rid of Oboi.

The second princess's marriage to Oboi's nephew seems to be a good thing now, and when Oboi is liquidated in the future, she will definitely be implicated.

The Empress Dowager patiently analyzed the pros and cons for Qi Qige, "Now we still have to use Oboi, of course we have to stabilize him and win him over."

Qiqige shook her head and said: "I can understand what you and the emperor have to do, but the late emperor gave birth to so many daughters, and only the second princess grew up. How are you doing?"

Xuan Ye sighed: "Mother Huang, grandma didn't want my sister to marry me, but Oboi asked for it... After all, it's my son who is incompetent and can't protect my sister."

Qiqige knew this, no wonder the empress dowager and the emperor, Aobai proposed to marry the princess for his nephew, the empress dowager couldn't find a reason to refuse.

One is a noble princess, and the other is a son of a nobleman with a prominent family background. Anyone who hears about this marriage will praise it as a godsend.

But the empress dowager and the emperor can't tolerate Oboi, if Oboi falls in the future, his nephew will definitely be punished.

So what if the second princess is honorable?The princess is not allowed to engage in politics, she cannot intercede with her husband, she can only accompany him to suffer.

What's more, the second princess seldom meets the emperor, and there is not much sister-brother friendship.

When Obai is eradicated, will the high-spirited emperor still think of this half-sister?

Qiqige couldn't hold back the empress dowager and the emperor, she was so angry that she ate vegetable leaves for the empress dowager for several days.

The Empress Dowager knew she was in a bad mood, so she swallowed her anger and ate vegetarian food.

Qiqige couldn't bear to watch the second princess jump into the fire pit. After much deliberation, she decided to give the second princess pre-marriage training.

The second princess has no objection to this marriage. She thinks this marriage is very good to be able to marry the nephew of the assistant minister without having to go to Mongolia to get married.

Qiqige didn't dare to tell her the inside story, so she could only try to teach her some practical house fighting skills.

"Come and talk to Queen Mother, when you get married, how will you treat your in-laws?"

The second princess said softly: "Be filial to your parents-in-law, and be kind to your uncle and sister-in-law."

Qiqige shook her head again and again, "No, no! It's a big mistake!"

The second princess and Na Ren both received the traditional education of three obediences and four virtues, but Na Ren has a wild nature and is unwilling to study. She has never read "The Female Ring" and often skips classes.

The second princess was quiet and obedient since she was a child, and she did well in school. She felt that what she said was the standard answer.

Kiki held her hand and patiently taught, "You can be gentle and gentle, but others can't take your gentleness for granted. When you go to your in-law's house, don't be patient and suffer yourself. You must learn to refuse and learn to say no!"

The second princess nodded ignorantly, "What Huang Erniang said is true, my daughter will remember."

"Today, let's learn from the most difficult knowledge. When you have learned the most difficult knowledge, it will be easier to learn later."

Qiqige sat up straight, held her handkerchief and stood up, "Look out! Our first lesson today is to cry, make trouble, and hang himself!"
