[Qing Chuan] I became the queen mother after salted fish

Although there are many fewer people, it is lively enough with these people now. When Si Ning was young, she liked quietness, but now that she is old, she likes it more and more lively, so she is happy every day.

One day, Si Ning was talking to several Mongol princes Fujin, when the front came suddenly to deliver a message that the emperor and all the elder brothers had left the paddock, the emperor shot a deer and gave it to the empress dowager.

Si Ning accepted the things with a smile, and the people around him also praised the emperor for his bravery and filial piety.

Si Ning is just like ordinary parents. He is happy when he hears others praise his child, even if he doesn't say it.

She smiled and said to the eunuch who came to pass the message: "Let the emperor pay attention to safety, and don't patronize the prey."

The eunuch nodded with a smile: "The servant must pass on the words of the empress."

The people around watched this scene, and couldn't help but praise the mother's kindness and son's filial piety.

Si Ning was a little embarrassed by what they said, but these people didn't even breathe, as if they were telling the truth.

When the hunt was over, Mianyi naturally gained a lot as the emperor, and the two younger ones did not give up. Yixuan also hunted a deer, and together with Mianyi, dedicated it to Sining.

Si Ning smiled and said: "I have enough things, you can save these things to make a small leather boot for you, what can you do for me."

Yixuan just smiled: "No matter how much grandma has, it is also a wish from my grandson."

Si Ning couldn't talk to him, so he had no choice but to accept the things.

The queen on one side also chimed in: "Now that Yixuan is grown up, we should be filial to his grandmother. In the past, when he was still young, the queen mother didn't know how many good things she gave him."

Hearing this, Si Ning couldn't help laughing.

As for Yishen, although he is twelve or thirteen years old now, he is not as stable as Yixuan, and his riding and shooting are average. With the help of the guards, he only shot a few rabbits.

But even so, Si Ning felt very well, and even specially comforted him a few words.

However, Yishen was still a little sullen, as if he was very dissatisfied with his performance today.

Later, it was Yixuan who called him to him and encouraged him a bit, and then the child showed a smile.

Looking at it from the side, Si Ning thought it was a bit funny, everyone said that an elder brother is like a father, but in front of these two brothers, this is really true.

From the day the hunt started, the kids played like crazy in the paddock.

Si Ning is always worried about what they will collide with, so she tells Mian Yi to do a good job of safety.

But I was really afraid of something. On the third day of hunting, Yixiang and Yishen of Mianchen's family got rid of the guards without knowing it, and ran to hunt by themselves, but they didn't know the way at all and almost couldn't come back.

When the person was found, the two of them rolled like mud monkeys, Yixiang's face was scratched with a bloodstain by a tree branch, which made Zhang Jia's heart ache, Yishen didn't run away, and his sleeves were short Halfway through, the reins also had a few bruises on his wrists.

Si Ning didn't care how shy Yi Shen was, she pulled him into her arms and gave him medicine.

Yishen's face was flushed red, but she didn't struggle too much, and honestly asked Sining to give her the medicine.

On the other hand, Mian Yi has a dark face, looking very unhappy.

Mian Chen looked at his son, then at Suffocation, with a smile on his face: "Brother, don't be angry, a child is so skinny at this age, and you took me to sneak out of the paddock to pick dates back then." What, have you forgotten?"

Mian Yi waited for Mian Chen to take a look, and was about to speak, but Si Ning suddenly turned her head to look at the two brothers: "You ran out to pick those dates? Then you told me that you picked them around the paddock."

Mian Chen was a little embarrassed for a moment, scratched his nose with his hand, not knowing what to say.

Mian Yi was quite indifferent, coughed lightly, and quickly changed the subject: "I'm not mad at them for being naughty, I'm just mad at them for daring to throw off the guards, but they don't have the ability to come back safely. Yixiang is still young. Having said that, Yishen is so old that he can't even find the way, it's really..."

Mian Yi was so angry that she didn't know how to scold.

Yishen listened to the training with his head down all the time, not daring to answer a word.

As for Yixiang, although in the past he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and even dared to talk against Ama, but in front of this uncle of the emperor, he dared not say a single unnecessary word, and honestly leaned on Zhang Jia's arms. Here, ask Er Niang to give him medicine.

In the end, Mian Chen persuaded him: "Okay, big brother, don't be angry, just teach them well in the future. The children came here less before, so naturally they don't know the way. After punishing them this time, they will know the lesson if they want to come. gone."

After hearing this, Mian Yi calmed down, and after thinking about it, she punished her son and nephew by memorizing the map of Mulan Paddock, and ordered them to copy the Analects of Confucius ten times as a punishment.

The two children are people who can't sit still. When they heard this, they were completely sluggish. Yishen drooped his head as if it was the end of the world. Chen pretended not to see his son's eyes asking for help, and turned his face to talk to Mianyi about something else.

A joke, the eldest brother is angry, he can't bear it, how can he plead for his son, silly son, you should just endorse and copy the book honestly.

And Si Ning watched the two sons sing together, but didn't stop him, what happened today was indeed scary, and they should learn a lesson.

After finishing the lesson and taking the medicine, Mian Yi sent her son and nephew away.

The two boys walked out the door with drooping heads one after the other, it was quite funny to watch.

Si Ning smiled and shook his head: "Things in this world really happen one after another. Back then, your brothers were also making such a fuss. Your Huang Ama didn't know how worried she was."

Hearing Sining talk about Huang Ama, both Mianyi and Mianchen were silent. Mianchen felt uneasy, and couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Mianyi. Seeing that the elder brother was still calm, he also relaxed and said with a smile: "Even though my eldest brother and I had a quarrel, we never had any trouble. Huang Ama also praised us at that time."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing out loud: "You hozen, how could he praise you? He was talking ironically again, but you are so proud of it. You, Ama, were so angry that when you talked to me later, , I’m still angry.”

Seeing Erniang talking about Ama's past with a smile, Mianchen felt relieved. It seemed that Erniang had really come out, so that's fine, if she was still stuck in that emotion, it would be fine My mother's health is also not good.

Thinking of this, Mian Chen couldn't help but put on a smile: "But later, Huang Ama didn't punish his son, so it can be seen that Huang Ama still thinks that his son is a good person."

Si Ning couldn't laugh or cry, she really didn't know who she resembled to have such a reckless temper.

……

Although the matter of the two elder brothers getting lost and missing was easily resolved within the family, the turmoil caused outside has not subsided.

The guards on duty that day needed to be dealt with, and the chaotic rumors outside needed to be quelled. Anyway, Yishen and Yixiang had caused a mess, but they needed someone else to clean up the mess for them.

Yixuan went to see Yishen once, and Yishen cried with snot and tears, and wanted his elder brother to intercede for him. Yixuan sighed and comforted his younger brother, and checked the situation of his copying, and found that he He even asked the eunuch to copy it for him. In anger, he burned the three Analects that his younger brother had saved up with great difficulty.

And he said earnestly: "Huang Ama punished you for your own good. How could you ask someone to copy it for you? It's good that I found out. Huang Ama Sheng Mingzhuzhao, if he finds out, I'm afraid your punishment will be worth it. It has doubled, and we will not allow such opportunistic things in the future!"

Yishen complied pitifully, looking at Yixuan like a white-haired girl looking at Huang Shiren.

Later, in order to prevent his younger brother from being lazy, Yixuan went over to watch his younger brother copying every day. Yishen no longer had the opportunity to cheat, so he could only copy honestly by himself.

After Mian Yi knew about it, she praised Yixuan a few times for being friendly and loving brothers, like an elder brother.

Yishen watched helplessly, almost crying.

……

After this turmoil passed, the subsequent hunting went smoothly. Yishen learned his lesson and never dared to act recklessly again. He followed behind Yixuan obediently, not daring to take more than half a step.

As for Yixiang, who is not afraid of anything, after returning home that day, he was treated well by the gentle Zhang Jiashi, and since then he has never dared to mess around again.

Without these two demon kings, the entire paddock became much cleaner.

When the hunting was over, the group of them returned to the Summer Resort. At this time, Concubine Zhuang's belly was already six months old, and it was time for them to return to the capital.

Because Concubine Zhuang is heavy, Mian Yi specially ordered Concubine Zhuang to leave first, and walk slowly on the road so as not to hurt her body.

It was the first time Concubine Zhuang enjoyed such special treatment, and she was a little at a loss, but it was Concubine Ning who comforted her a few words, and she felt relieved.

After Concubine Zhuang left for a few days, Si Ning and the others should also leave.

This time it was a bustling visit, a bustling return, Si Ning had a great time on this trip to Mulan, and her heart was broadened a lot.

When he returned to Beijing, he still couldn't recover, and kept talking to Qing Jin and Qing Dai about what happened to Mulan.

Qingdai couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty has been to Mulan several times in the past, but I don't see any time as happy as this time."

Si Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled, thinking to himself, before she was just a concubine in Jiaqing's harem, even if she was favored, she still had many shackles, of course she couldn't open her mind to feel the beauty of nature.

But now, she finally doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, so her heart is relaxed a lot, and she sees the world from a different perspective.

But there is no need to talk to Qing Dai and Qing Jin about these words.

Qing Jin and Qing Dai didn't talk too much about this topic, instead they talked about Concubine Zhuang's pregnancy.

"...I left early, but I came back only a day earlier than us. I heard that I lay down after I came back, saying that my body was a little heavy. You are really kind-hearted, and even took the medicinal materials to visit the door."

Si Ning raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Yi has recovered?"

Qing Jin smiled and nodded: "It's time to slow down. On the day we came back, Concubine Yi came out to greet people, and there were more smiles on her face than when we left."

Si Ning nodded: "That's good, if you live in this palace, you must be able to think about it, if you care about everything, then you will only have to suffer one after another."

On this topic, Qing Jin and Qing Dai didn't intervene, they just looked at the empress's emotional appearance, and couldn't help wondering whether the empress was in that position back then, so she persuaded herself to think about it.

……

Si Ning is talking about Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhuang are sitting in the room talking.

Concubine Zhuang is clumsy in speech and can't say anything nice, so it might be better to say that Concubine Yi is performing a one-man show by herself.

She could talk, and her words were full of concern for Concubine Zhuang, and she didn't mention the previous conversation in a word.

Concubine Zhuang is a kind person, and she won't expose anyone's background. Hearing Concubine Yi's concern, she just responded honestly.

Concubine Yi talked for a long time before stopping to take a sip of water.

After drinking, he smiled and said, "These are just some of my own experience, and maybe it's not suitable for your situation. It's just that we sisters, even if we can help a little, it's not in vain."

Concubine Zhuang smiled: "Your Majesty, you are being polite. These words of yours are really good words. I am also thinking of Your Majesty's kindness in my heart."

Concubine Yi smiled when she heard this: "It's not necessary to talk about favors or favors, we are all a family, and it's outrageous to say these things."

Concubine Zhuang didn't know how to reply, so she could only answer softly: "Your Majesty is generous."

Concubine Yi was really satisfied, the two of them said something later, Concubine Yi got up and left.

After the people had left, the maid in front of Concubine Zhuang came up to her: "Your Majesty, what does Concubine Yi mean by these words?"

Concubine Zhuang just shook her head: "No matter what she means, we just need to live our own lives well. We don't need to delve into the depth of the water in this palace."

The palace lady nodded her head half-understood, and only said something slowly before the servant knew.

……

And after Concubine Yi came out of Concubine Zhuang's palace, the gentle smile on her face disappeared, and she rubbed her cheeks tiredly, hoping that today's remedy could cover up the previous incident.

But thinking about it, no one in this palace will come to expose her, she just wants to be more honest and low-key in the future.

Thinking like this, Concubine Yi couldn't help thinking of Concubine Ning again.

They are all members of Tong Jia's clan, but this woman has never been in harmony with her, and she doesn't know what she is thinking about.

Even if she has an elder brother, but without the support of her family, what kind of trouble can a bald elder brother be able to make?

The eldest son born by the queen is still there. Does she really think that she has an elder brother, so she can stand up and call the shots?

Concubine Yi felt that Concubine Ning would not be so stupid.

But since that's not the case, what is she thinking in her heart?

Want to rely on the Queen Mother?

This is impossible, as long as she is not stupid, she should be able to see that the Empress Dowager has always followed the emperor's will, and will never make a fool of herself in this matter.

Or... hide clumsiness?

Concubine Yi frowned, thinking that probably was the case.

If you think about it this way, the more you think about it, the more reasonable it becomes.

The Tong Jia family is not a poor family, but now there are two members of the Tong Jia family in the palace, and one of them has an elder brother. If the two of them join forces, what will the queen think?What should the emperor think?

Concubine Yi thought of this, as if someone had opened up Ren Du's second channel.

So it turned out that Concubine Ning was worried about this. Although in her opinion, she was a little petty, but with Concubine Ning's level, she was afraid that the third elder brother would become a young bird and be targeted by others.

Concubine Yi was angry and laughed at the thought of this, I really don't know what kind of brains this person has, what is this little thing, if the queen and the emperor worry more, I'm afraid they won't be able to reach the current position.

However, although Concubine Yi was slanderous in her heart, her hostility towards Concubine Ning was somewhat reduced.

Since she is so cautious, she doesn't need to worry now, let's take it easy and say that she is not unable to have children now, maybe she will have children in the future, and she doesn't have to rely on Concubine Ning alone.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yi felt at ease, because she clearly knew that since Concubine Ning was so cautious, she was afraid of being persecuted, and she might not have simple thoughts in her heart, but she didn't have to worry, because as long as Concubine Ning was in her heart If she has an idea, she will come to her sooner or later.

……

At this time, Concubine Ning also heard that Concubine Yi personally came to deliver things to Concubine Zhuang, so she couldn't help but smile slightly: "She has finally learned to be smart."

Mai Dong was a little confused on the side, and said suspiciously: "Concubine Yi was so proud in the past, but now she is willing to lose face, this servant never expected."

Concubine Ning shook her head and didn't speak. She knew in her heart that Concubine Yi felt the crisis. When a person's status is stable, she can act and make trouble, but when a person's status is unstable, don't show any shame. , People also have to be shorter.

Concubine Yi has been nesting in the garden for a few months, and she finally understands the reason behind this.

This is a good thing, although Concubine Yi is honest with her, but she doesn't want to see Concubine Yi get out of the game so early. After all, the palace is only lively when there are more people.

……

At the beginning of December, Concubine Zhuang finally started, after struggling all night, she finally gave birth to an elder brother, the fourth son of the emperor.

Mian Yi was very happy, and went to see it in person that day, and rewarded countless things.

Immediately, Concubine Zhuang's limelight in the palace also rose.

But it was almost the end of the year, and even though Concubine Zhuang was in the limelight, everyone didn't have time to think about it, they were all busy celebrating the new year.

As the empress dowager, Si Ning naturally doesn't have to be busy, so she has the time to tease the birds.

At the end of the year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs paid tribute to the starling who has always been brightly colored. Mian Yi slipped over to Sining. This starling has been trained long ago. He can say good luck to the empress and long live the emperor. Sining heard it was very interesting, so she accepted After coming down, the House of Internal Affairs specially sent over a little eunuch who raised starlings.

Si Ning has time every day, just teases the starling, and the daily life is not boring.

And this day, Si Ning was feeding my starlings, when Mian Yi suddenly came. ,

Knowing that this is not the time for him to come over, Si Ning was a little surprised.

It was only when he walked in that Si Ning realized the reason for his visit. It turns out that next year will be another draft year, and Mian Yi began to worry about Yi Shen's marriage.

Si Ning was shocked, how old is Yishen, he looks like a child, and he has reached the age of marriage?

Si Ning was silent for a while, and said in a deliberative tone, "Why don't you think about it after the next draft, Yishen's grade is not too old now."

But Mian Yi shook her head: "This kind of thing can't be postponed. If Er Niang is worried that Yishen's marriage will be bad for the children, I will just delay the wedding date when I bestow the marriage."

Si Ning knew that Mian Yi must know more about this kind of matter than herself, so she stopped talking and nodded: "Since that's the case, then you can make the decision. But it's good, when you pick someone for him, you can't pick someone who is too taciturn, when the time comes, the couple won't be able to talk together, but they will become bitter couples."

Mian Yi nodded her head: "What Er Niang said is very true, and Er Niang needs to be involved in this matter."

Si Ning just smiled lightly: "I'm getting older now, and I'm not as thoughtful as you young people are. You and the queen just look at the choice."

But Mian Yi does not compromise and insists on Si Ning to come forward.

Si Ning couldn't hold back against him, so he could only agree.

……

After the new year, all the show girls have entered the capital, but this time it is not as grand as Yixuan's time. Si Ning and the queen just got the information of a few show girls that Mianyi is optimistic about in advance.

In the portraits of this era, there is no need to pursue any accuracy. At most, you can see the temperament and figure of this person.

The queen looked at several people and felt dissatisfied, and Si Ning didn't express any opinions, at most she just learned about the family backgrounds of these people.

Si Ning could tell that these people were not as good as those he had found for Yixuan at that time, and there was only one Dong E family, who was considered outstanding among them.

In the end, the queen also took out the Dong E family: "Please look, Empress, this Dong E family is the daughter of Erden E, the commander of the guards. This group of show girls is also considered outstanding."

Si Ning nodded: "We still have to meet the real person before making a decision."

The Empress knew that the Empress Dowager would say that, she was not in a hurry, she nodded with a smile: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true."

After seeing the candidates, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped making any moves, and only waited for the show girl to enter the palace.

In February, the show girls finally began to enter the palace one after another.

As Er Fujin's strong contender, Dong E's passed the first two tests with ease. She was selected for both the name and body checks. Even if she stayed in the palace, the accommodation given to her was also a top-notch position.

But Dong E himself is very humble, never domineering when talking to others, and has a good reputation among beautiful women.

Si Ning and the queen observed for a few days, and then called Dong E's family, but there was another beautiful woman on the list who came together.

Si Ning is not interested in whether the rules are good or not, she mainly sees Dong E's true temperament.

Seeing that she advances and retreats with a certain amount of time, and her words are clear, Si Ning knows that this girl is not strictly disciplined, on the contrary she is quite lively.

But her manners should be very good, because the queen is also very satisfied with her.

When the person left, the queen smiled and said: "It is true that the Dong E family is the best, what does the empress think?"

Si Ning nodded: "Temperament is lively, but I can talk to Yi Shen."

The queen didn't expect the queen mother to say this, but after thinking about it, she nodded her head: "What your empress said is very true. Looking at Fujin this way, naturally, his temperament must be compatible, otherwise he would not be beautiful."

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made up their minds, they looked at it a few times later, and called the nanny at Xiunu's lodging to ask a few times, and got to know Dong E's family from the side, Si Ning and the queen finally made a decision, and then Tell Mian Yi what happened during this period.

After Mian Yi heard this, he also felt good, so when it was time for the palace selection, he didn't hesitate, and left a sign directly, and after the beautiful girls returned, he canonized Dong E as the will of the second prince Fujin Then he went down too.

The members of Dong E's family were weeping with joy, they never expected such a future.

But they also just happened to meet this time, otherwise this is really uncertain.

It's just that they were a little surprised that the wedding date was set very late, and they won't be able to get married until next year.

But since the decree has been made, this matter is nothing, so Dong E's family is still happy.

On the other hand, Yishen, when he knew that his Fujin had already been decided, he was a little apprehensive. After tossing and turning for several days, he still honestly went to find Sining.
