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

Seeing Si Ning, Yi Shen was still drooping, and after greeting him, he just sat down and didn't speak.

Si Ning was amused in his heart, but he didn't want to make his grandson look bad, so he said softly: "Why do you look so listless today?"

Yishen said silently: "Grandmother, I heard that Huang Ama chose Fujin for me."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing, this kid really doesn't know how to beat around the bush.

"I picked a Fujin for you, why? Don't you like it?"

At this time, Yishen shook his head: "It's not that I don't like it. Of course, I can trust Huang Ama's vision, but I have never seen Fujin's face, and no one has told my grandson about it. It's a little unreliable."

Thinking of Concubine Jin's current situation, Sining couldn't help but sigh. Although this child, Yishen, got rid of Concubine Jin's bad influence, he had indeed lost the care and love of his biological mother and child.

Thinking of this, Si Ning felt sorry for her grandson, she smiled softly at Yishen: "Don't worry, Mama will help you too, your Fujin is a good one, smart and upright, with a bright temper Good boy."

After hearing this, Yishen breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled on his face: "I feel relieved when Mama says that, Mama will never lie to me."

Si Ning shook her head with a smile, she was really a child, and she spoke childishly.

But Si Ning wouldn't say that to his grandson who thought he was a grown-up, but just smiled and said, "Just study hard, and you, Ama and Mamo, will take care of these things for you."

Yishen smiled shyly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Mama, I have been studying hard these few days, and my elder brother is watching me."

Si Ning touched his grandson's head with a smile, and said softly: "That's good, our Yishen is really a good boy."

……

Ever since Yishen's marriage was settled, only the eldest princess and the second princess were left in the palace who were still unmarried.

But Sining is not in a hurry, girls are no better than boys, and getting married so early is not good for them. When Wu Linzhu got married, he was almost twenty, and now Sining is naturally not concerned about his granddaughter. Let them marry early.

Of course Mian Yi also understands Si Ning's heart, and he has no opinion on this matter. After all, the Qing court has long since passed the time when it is necessary to marry a princess to maintain the relationship between Mongolia and Manchuria. Now marrying a princess is more of a kind. Inertia and grace.

As for the queen, she also wanted to keep her daughter with her for a longer time in her heart. She knew very well that after the princess got married, she might not have a very good life.

In this draft, in addition to the marriage proposal for Yishen, the palace also has a newcomer.

But there are still only two, one is named Rougui, and the other is named Changzai.

As the name suggests, Rougui is really a weak woman, with a delicate and timid appearance, which makes people feel distressed when they look at it.

And that Li Guiren, who had just entered the palace, was born in the Han Army Banner, and he was considered handsome, but he didn't like to talk much, and he was a gourd with his mouth sawn off.

On the day the two of them entered the palace, they went to various places to pay their respects, but in the future, only nobleman Rou would be able to pay respects, and Li Changzai is not yet qualified.

On the first day, Si Ning only spoke a few words with them and recognized someone, except for the superficial character, she didn't see anything else.

On the second day, it was time for all the palaces to come to Si Ning to pay their respects.

Naturally, nobleman Rou also came together, she and nobleman Xiu sat together, they were talking and laughing while watching.

Si Ning raised his eyebrows, this noble man is quite popular, after only a few days in the palace, he has made friends with someone.

But when Si Ning went out, the people outside stopped talking and stood up to greet Si Ning.

After Si Ning sat down, she raised her hand, and they got up.

Please be safe, it's still the old-fashioned thing, the queen asked about Si Ning's physical condition, Si Ning also cared about several concubines, everyone was polite, filial and loving, as for what's going on inside ,I do not know.

After finishing these clichés, Si Ning smiled and asked Rougui who was sitting at the end: "Is Rougui still used to life in the palace?"

Rou Gui stood up tremblingly and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager, everything is fine with my concubine."

Si Ning smiled and nodded: "That's good, you are a newcomer to the palace, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell the empress, the empress is a generous and stable person, she will never wrong you."

The nobleman Rou respectfully responded.

The queen smiled and said: "The emperor's mother always praises the concubines like this, and the concubines are a little embarrassed."

Si Ning knew she was joking, and said with a smile: "It's the truth, so why not be embarrassed."

For a while, there was warmth between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

……

Soon the peace was over, and the queen led the concubines to retreat from the Shoukang Palace.

As soon as she went out, the empress went up to her shoulders first and left, and the other concubines followed behind respectfully. After the empress left, the concubines left one by one in order of seniority.

Rouguiren and Xiuguiren were naturally at the end.

Rougui tugged at Xiugui's sleeve, and said softly: "Sister, why don't we walk back together, so we can relax."

Mr. Xiugui nodded without hesitation, "That's fine."

The two agreed, and went to the East Sixth Palace along the corridor of Shoukang Palace.

The two chatted as they walked, Mrs. Rou was very curious about the affairs in the palace, especially the empress and queen mother, she couldn't help asking Mrs Xiu: "Is the relationship between the empress dowager and empress dowager so good? I really didn't expect it. "

In Rougui's mind, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. In their own home, between their mother and sister-in-law, there is not much intimacy. It's a pleasure to get along with.

As soon as Mr. Xiugui heard this, he became more talkative: "That's not true. If you want me to tell you, in our palace, only the empress dowager is the most kind. She speaks softly to anyone she talks to, and the empress dowager is also the most gentle. Generous, he is very magnanimous to us on weekdays, so two gentle people like this naturally get along well."

Rougui lowered his eyebrows and smiled a little shyly: "I see, thank you sister for clarifying my doubts."

Mr. Xiugui smiled: "You don't need to be polite to me. Since we entered the palace, we are sisters in the first palace. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Rougui replied with a smile, but she didn't want to ask her anything in her heart. She could see that this Xiugui had a rough personality, and she thought everyone in the palace was a good person. If she really asked her, I'm afraid It's just falling into the ditch, and you still have to feel it yourself.

……

Rougui and Xiugui were chatting and laughing, but the queen had already returned to the Changchun Palace. She was leaning on the couch, one of Wisteria and Ziyuan squeezed her shoulders, the other beat her legs, and she herself half-closed her eyes. , looking very comfortable.

After a long time, the queen suddenly said: "What do you think of this noble man?"

Both maids were taken aback for a moment, and looked at the queen with some doubts, as if they didn't understand why she would ask such a question, but the two of them quickly came back to their senses.

Zi Yuan took the lead in answering: "Your nobleman looks soft and weak, but the slave always feels that she is not simple."

The answer was simple and direct, which was in line with Zi Yuan's style.

But Ziteng thought for a moment, and then said: "He is a delicate person, and he is very good at getting along with others. Although Xiugui has a simpler personality, he is not so easy to get close to."

The queen nodded when she heard these words: "Although you two are speaking different words, the meanings in the words are the same. This Rougui is not simple."

The two maids looked at each other, wondering for a while what the empress meant by paying attention to this noble man.

The Queen's current status is as stable as Mount Tai, so she is more lenient and magnanimous to these women in the palace, even for Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhuang who are in the limelight. , Why did the queen suddenly mention her?

And the queen didn't seem to have any intention of explaining. After saying this, she continued to close her eyes and rest.

The two maids didn't dare to ask any more questions, they looked at each other and continued to do their work with their heads down.

In fact, the queen's heart is also very complicated now. She has been with the emperor for many years, and she knows what the emperor likes very well. He only likes two women, simple and honest.

But he would suddenly choose someone who was not simple at first glance, which was really beyond her expectation.

Does the emperor really like this soft nobleman?

The queen couldn't understand the problem, but subconsciously, she paid more attention to Rougui.

Thinking of this, the empress sighed in her heart, she really became more and more confused as she lived, and now that she still cares about these things, it can be seen that she is not as calm as she imagined.

……

The empress suppressed her emotions in her heart, but it was not the case with other people. Concubine Yi couldn't help sneering once she returned to the palace: "It's really amazing. Now that nobleman Rou has entered the palace, if it's really a malicious person Yes, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to deal with than Concubine Jin back then."

The maid in front of Concubine Yi couldn't help persuading her: "No matter how powerful she is, she doesn't dare to bully the empress, the empress just sits quietly."

Concubine Yi just sneered: "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? There are always some people in this world whose hearts are higher than the sky."

The palace maid didn't dare to say any more, she could only hope in her heart that the empress would be stable and not to show her head again at this time.

……

Both Concubine Yi and the Empress could see how noble Rou is, and Concubine Ning naturally saw it too.

But she didn't react much, she didn't care whether nobleman Rou was good or bad, after all, nobleman Rou's foundation is still too shallow now, so what can he do no matter how scheming he is?

On my side, the third elder brother has lost his appetite in the past two days, so he still has to find the imperial doctor to take a look.

Thinking like this, Concubine Ning completely forgot about this matter.

……

After the draft was over, the palace quickly returned to calm, but the undercurrent hidden behind this calm could not be seen at all.

As time passed slowly, the palace became busy day by day.

In April, Sining followed Mianyi to the Old Summer Palace, and the life in the garden was also relaxed. Wu Linzhu brought her little daughter into the garden to see Sining.

The little girl is only six years old now, and she speaks crisply and sweetly, yelling after Guo Luo's mother, making Si Ning's heart ache, holding her and sitting on the couch to feed her fruit.

At this moment, Yishen came in with Yixiang, whooping.

Seeing this scene, the two children were stunned.

Later, Yixiang reacted quickly and greeted Wu Linzhu with a smile: "My aunt has also entered the garden, and Yixiang greets my aunt."

Wu Linzhu liked Yixiang when she saw him, smiled and waved him to him, touched his bald forehead, smiled and said to Sining: "Look, mother, Yixiang looks so good, with a tiger head and a tiger brain Yes, it really looks like the third brother when he was a child."

Si Ning smiled, and beckoned to Yi Shen who was at the side, letting him come closer, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.

"You have said this since he was a child, and now Mochia may say it too."

After speaking, Si Ning turned her head and nodded little Mochia's nose.

Mochia smiled crisply,

Wu Linzhu was not angry either, just smiled and said: "The main reason is that this child is so similar, I just want to say it when I see it."

Si Ning shook her head with a smile, she could tell at a glance what her daughter and son-in-law were thinking.

Wanting to marry Moqiya to Yixiang sounds like a good thing indeed, it's been like this since ancient times.

However, as a modern person, Si Ning is very aware of the hidden worries behind this matter, so she will never agree to this matter, even though Wu Linzhu and Mian Chen seem to be interested in this matter.

So at this moment, Sining didn't talk to Wu Linzhu, but turned around and asked Yishen what he was doing here.

Yishen naturally replied honestly: "Ama has allowed her grandson to leave the palace, and my grandson wants to ask Madam Huang, if there is anything I want, my grandson will bring it back to you."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard his grandson's words: "Okay, okay, now that we, Yishen, are grown up, we have to start being filial to Mama."

Yishen chuckled: "The grandson used to be ignorant, but now that the grandson has grown up, naturally he has to be filial to Mama."

As soon as Yishen said this, Yixiang next to him couldn't sit still, and said anxiously: "I, I, I, I also want to be filial to Mama."

"Okay, okay." Sining pulled Yixiang to him, patted his forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "We are all good boys, we are all filial."

Just as he was talking, Mochia on the side also hugged Sining's leg, and said in a crisp tone, "Mochia is also filial, and Mochia's flowers are for Mama to wear!"

Si Ning couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear, and Wu Linzhu on the side also forgot the embarrassment just now, and said with a smile: "Er Niang is really lucky, to have so many filial grandchildren."

For a while, the atmosphere in the room became much more cheerful.

……

After talking for a while, Yishen and Yixiang left first, it was because Sining sent them away on purpose, she didn't think that Wu Linzhu would pester them after she remembered this matter.

But after the two children left, Wu Linzhu also came to his senses, and couldn't help but blame: "Emiang, this is a good thing, why do you do this?"

Si Ning waved her hands, stopped her talking, and let Mo Qiya be hugged down.

Mo Qiya didn't cry, and obediently followed Qing Jin down.

Si Ning watched Mo Qiya leave, and then said: "I have said long ago that the return of blood is not good for offspring, you see if this is the case for most families who get married and get married, if you have the heart to let Mo Qia With such pressure, I have nothing to say."

When Wu Linzhu heard what Sining said, she hesitated, and after a long time said in a dull tone: "But my daughter also looks at other people's houses like this, why is it not good when she comes to our house?"

Si Ning waved his hand: "I don't care what other people do, but as long as I am alive, this thing is not allowed to happen, and you don't want to indoctrinate Mo Qiya, if something happens, you will take care of it yourself."

"Emiang!" Wu Linzhu laughed angrily, "Look at what you said, I was just thinking about it myself, how could I tell Moqiya about this?"

Seeing that her daughter was really sincere, Si Ning was also relieved, and nodded: "That means you are not completely confused."

After finishing speaking, she paused again: "That's the end of this matter, don't mention it again in the future, I will find Moqiya a good family for her, don't worry."

Wu Linzhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. After all, she had been with Er Niang for so many years, and she knew that Er Niang was a targeted person, so she would never talk nonsense about such things.

Maybe, maybe what Erniang said is true?

Seeing her daughter's pensive look, Si Ning was also relieved, she really didn't want to estrange her relationship with her daughter because of this matter, but she had to stop this matter, simply because Wu Linzhu is a soft personality As for people, they don't think that they have a quarrel with themselves.

Thinking of this, Si Ning's eyes were gloomy, and she could figure out who the person who put forward this idea would definitely not be Wu Linzhu with a pure personality. from.

She still can't see through that man so far, he is taciturn, capable and capable, and she holds Wu Linzhu in her palm like a pet, and has no one beside her for so many years.

It is also because of this that Wu Linzhu is so naive at such an advanced age.

But to say that he loves Wu Linzhu to the death, that is impossible. Si Ning can understand his thoughts to some extent, and she doesn't care about it, as long as her daughter can be happy.

But she couldn't promise them this matter, she just hoped that Sotnam Dobuji was also a smart person and didn't get entangled in this matter.

……

Wu Linzhu left after dinner that day, and it was dark when he left. He was supposed to stay overnight, but Wu Linzhu blushed and said that he was worried about the marriage between the forehead and Sotnam Dobuji. Her son Arsling couldn't eat or sleep well at home, so he had to leave, and Si Ning had no choice but to have her sent back.

Xin said that in such a big mansion, is there no one to cook a bowl of rice for the forehead and the son?

But of course Sining would not say this, but just told Wu Linzhu that if he had time in the future, he would go to the palace and walk around more, and he was also thinking of her.

Wu Linzhu happily agreed, then took her daughter's hand, got into the sedan chair, and disappeared into the night.

Si Ning stood at the door of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and sighed long.

The children are all grown up and have their own families, but I still stand where I am, and can only watch them leave one by one.

Thinking of these, Si Ning felt a little sad, and went back to rest.

Qing Jin and Qing Dai also saw that the empress was not in high spirits, so they didn't say much, they just waited for Si Ning to rest in silence.

When Si Ning woke up early the next morning, the sadness of last night was gone with the wind.

The main reason is that she can't be quiet here at all, no, early this morning, the empress brought a large group of people to pay her respects.

Si Ning glanced at the people in the room, besides those old faces, two new faces also came this time.

Li Changzai and Rougui are on the list, they are the two most favored during this period, especially Rougui, for a workaholic like Mian Yi, he can go to her place four or five times a month , is already extremely favored.

However, nobleman Rou was very low-key, and he was very honest in front of Sining, respectfully saluting Sining.

As for Li Changzai, she was not qualified to come to Si Ning to pay her respects before, but because she was more favored during this period, the queen brought her with her.

But Si Ning vaguely felt that the empress's actions should have the meaning of making Li Changzai fight against the nobleman Rou.

It's just that he didn't think deeply about it, and accepted the greeting from this slightly unfamiliar person.

Li Changzai is a taciturn person who doesn't match her beautiful and delicate face at all, and has a low sense of presence when sitting there, but he is a very comfortable person. People will not have any defenses in front of her, and there will be no What discomfort.

Si Ning can more or less know the reason why Mian Yi likes her.

But that's not the point, the point is that these two people are wearing similar clothes today, Si Ning couldn't help but smile when she saw it: "You two look good in this outfit, you look like twins."

Originally, the atmosphere between the two was a bit stiff because of the clash of shirts, but when they heard what the Queen Mother said, both of them immediately smiled, stood up and saluted Si Ning with a smile.

And the queen also interjected at the right time: "It's also this year's House of Internal Affairs who didn't care enough to send materials with similar colors. The emperor didn't care when he bestowed them, so he gave the two of them similar colors. They are all made into clothes again, isn't this a joke?"

Si Ning smiled and nodded, it turned out that this was her son's fault, she knew about Mian Yi, and she was impatient to bother about this kind of thing, but the women in the harem were all his, and it was always a pleasure to appreciate something. Yes, so he assigned this matter to Zhang Wanfu, and asked him to give rewards to people at fixed times according to the rules he set.

This time, I'm afraid the eunuch assigned to work carelessly received two horses of the same material together.

But Si Ning didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "The color is bright, it's not uncommon to make more similar ones, I think Li Changzai and nobleman Rou are both well dressed."

The queen smiled and said yes, the previous fear of nobleman Rou in her heart dissipated a little, if the emperor really cared about her, how could he not even notice this?

You must know that Zhang Wanfu is the number one person in front of the emperor, and he doesn't take Rou noble seriously, which shows the reason for this.

Rougui and Li Changzai were also happy because of the Queen Mother's compliment, and thanked Sining for her compliment with a smile.

After the greetings were over, the group left the gate of the Changchun Immortal Hall, and the originally gloomy atmosphere became more relaxed.

Mr. Xiugui pulled Rougui aside and said: "I'll tell you, you look good in this color, but you still don't believe it. Now that the Empress Dowager has said it, are you believable?"

Rougui nodded with a smile: "I believe it, I blame my sister. I doubted my sister before, and I will never do it again."

Mr. Xiugui had a smile on his face when he heard this, and was a little proud.

Li Changzai on the side remained silent, as if he hadn't heard the words.

The queen saw this scene in her eyes, but she didn't say a word, she just said lightly: "Okay, let's go back soon, go back earlier and rest earlier." After finishing speaking, she went to Tiandi Family Spring up.
