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

Si Ning could more or less see that the queen was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

But so what if she is not satisfied, this is not what she said.

Days passed like this, and Sitara's body became more and more deteriorating, and by the end of the year, she was already sick and could not get out of the bed.

Jiaqing went to see it a few times, but the situation should not be very good, and Jiaqing's complexion is not very good-looking.

Sometimes he would talk to Si Ning: "The queen is like this now, I'm afraid she won't be able to last for a few days."

Si Ning paused slightly, and then smiled: "The Empress is deeply blessed, there will definitely be a turning point."

"You have confidence in her." Jiaqing looked at Si Ning and smiled wryly.

Si Ning also just laughed: "Seeing the emperor is so worried, I feel uneasy both physically and mentally."

Jiaqing couldn't help sighing, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Although she acted erratically and was always confused, she was still a young couple with me. In the few years when we were just married, we had a few years of warmth before, but since we After she became pregnant, her temperament became more and more paranoid, and she has come to such a state of exhaustion in just a short period of ten years."

Si Ning also sighed, thinking that he was really nostalgic.

Afterwards, Si Ning comforted Jia Qing carefully, and his mood finally improved. This night Jia Qing rested in Si Ning Palace, and got up early to leave the next day, his expression seemed much more relaxed.

……

Waiting for the year to pass, Xi Tara's illness became more and more serious, and the smell of medicine in Jingren Palace lingered, and I heard that Fujin was in a coma for more than half of the time every day.

Until the seventh day of February, Si Ning woke up early in the morning and felt a tightness in his chest. After breakfast, he heard that the queen was critically ill, and all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital were summoned.

Si Ning felt a little uneasy, and after finishing her lunch, she hurried to visit Jingren Palace.

When she arrived, Imperial Concubine Niu Hulu had already arrived. Seeing her coming in, she sighed and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the empress."

Si Ning glanced at Niu Hulu's expression, and saw that she had a painful expression on her face, as if she was genuinely sad, and there was no force in her eyes.

Si Ning lowered her eyes and sighed.

The two were sitting in the main hall of Jingren Palace, Haitang came out to greet the two of them, Haitang looked at the red eyes, as if she had just cried.

She poured tea for the two of them, served some snacks, and said in a low voice, "The empress is seriously ill, and Aunt Yuqiu is also waiting on her. You have neglected the two noble masters."

Before Si Ning had time to open his mouth, Daniu Gulushi had already spoken first: "The empress is so ill, so there is no need to say these words, I just hope that the empress is all well."

Hearing this, Haitang's eyes turned red again.

Seeing the situation, Si Ning didn't say much.

After a while, Concubine Xun, Concubine Ying, Chun Changzai and Rong Changzai all came.

Concubine Xun looked worried, but Concubine Ying was full of gloating, and she didn't hide it at all. As for the two Chang Zai, they followed behind silently without saying a word.

"How is the Empress?" Concubine Xun hurriedly asked in Si Ning's ear after finishing her ceremony.

Si Ning sighed: "I'm afraid it's not very good."

Concubine Xun pursed her lips, her eyes were complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Just as she was talking, Aunt Yuqiu suddenly came out from inside. She looked at the exhaustion on her face, and she saluted as soon as she came out, and then said: "The queen just woke up for a while, knowing that all the masters and young masters are here to visit. I am very grateful in my heart, just thinking that there is no need to delay everyone's time, so please go back first."

When Da Niu Hulu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so ill, we should take care of the sick, how can we just go back like this."

Aunt Yuqiu's face was reserved: "The empress is in such a situation, there is no need for your lord to attend to her illness, the court ladies and imperial physicians are all around to take care of her."

Da Niu Hulu was at a loss for words for a moment, Si Ning hurriedly changed the subject: "Since that's the case, how is your mother doing now?"

Aunt Yuqiu frowned when she heard this, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a cry from inside: "Auntie! Auntie! Your majesty is not good!"

Aunt Yuqiu looked startled and rushed in hastily.

Da Niu Hulu also seemed to realize something, and went in together.

Si Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

Just as Si Ning led a few low-ranking concubines to the door, she heard a burst of crying from inside.

Si Ning was worried, and before she had time to ask the maid to open the curtain, she lifted the curtain and went in, but as soon as she entered, she saw people kneeling on the ground inside, and the big Niu Hulu clan was also kneeling there, crying like pear blossoms with rain.

Si Ning's heart sank, and she hurried forward, knelt down beside Da Niu Hulu, looked up at the couch, and saw Xi Tara lying there quietly, lifeless, with sunken cheeks , sallow, blue and black complexion, exuding an ominous atmosphere, Aunt Yuqiu was lying on the side of the couch, crying heartbreakingly, and several imperial doctors knelt on the ground, trembling.

Si Ning wiped his eyes, and tears followed.

The queen, she died just like that!

……

The news spread to Yuqing Palace and Yangxin Palace almost immediately.

When Qianlong knew about it, the hand holding the notebook just paused, and then replied that he knew.

After Jiaqing found out, he immediately walked from Yuqing Palace to Jingren Palace, looking very bad.

When Jiaqing came, Si Ning and the others had already changed into plain clothes, directed the people in Jingren Palace, and started to make announcements and arrangements.

Seeing Jiaqing approaching, Sining hurriedly stepped forward with Da Niu Hulu to salute.

Jiaqing raised his hand, waiving their courtesy.

Her lips trembled: "Why did it disappear so quickly, what can the queen say?"

Si Ning didn't speak, but Aunt Yuqiu cried and said, "Before the empress leaves, let the slaves tell the emperor that she is gone, and the second elder brother will trouble the emperor to take care of her."

When Jiaqing heard this, his eye circles turned red all of a sudden.

He is not a person with a heart of stone. After all, Sitara and his young husband and wife are gone now, and the bad things before have been forgotten. The rest is all the situation when their relationship was good.

At that time, Sitara was not so paranoid, and he was also gentle and gentle when talking to him. They also made love to each other, and they also whispered in the middle of the night. He remembered that he was very satisfied with this wife at the beginning.

But people's hearts can't withstand the invasion of time in the end, they finally reached this point, and even when she died, he never heard her say a word to him in front of her.

Jiaqing walked slowly to Sitara's couch, looked at the skinny and lifeless woman on the couch, his expression was suddenly in a trance, he seemed to think of it again, the wedding night, when he lifted the hijab, the girl who was shy at him A shy little girl.

……

The queen is gone, the emperor is very sad, but the most uncomfortable thing is the second elder brother. After he received the news, he almost cried all the way here. After entering the door, he almost fainted from crying in front of the queen's coffin.

He called out to his mother, like a cuckoo weeping blood.

Sitting in the room, Jiaqing heard Mianning's crying outside, pressed his temples, and finally said dryly, "Let someone persuade him, he is not in good health, crying like this will hurt his health. "

Si Ning served in front of Jia Qing, when he heard what he said, he responded softly, walked to the door and gave Qing Jin some advice.

Qing Jin nodded, and went out to answer the big Niu Hulu who was making a fuss outside.

Si Ning continued to return to Jiaqing's side, picked up the tea bowl and poured him a bowl of tea.

Jiaqing picked it up and took a sip, the mouthfeel was refreshing, diluting the bitter taste in his mouth.

He lowered his head and glanced at the tea bowl, the tea soup was cool, and it was the new Maojian this year.

Jiaqing's heart softened, and he raised his head to look at Si Ning, his expression softened a lot, he took Si Ning's hand, and said softly: "I'm sorry for you."

Si Ning pursed her lips: "The empress passed away early, I know you feel bad, but please take care of your health so as not to mourn too much."

Jiaqing sighed, put down the tea bowl, smiled wryly, did not speak for a long time, just stared blankly at the white jade Guanyin on the table in the room, which was given to Sitara by Erniang before her death, for so many years , she still kept it.

Si Ning looked at him flying into the sky, and didn't disturb him, still quietly accompanying him.

……

The empress is gone, no matter in front of the court or in the harem, it is considered a big event, and preparations for the funeral are intensified, and the matter of stopping the coffin and crying for the coffin has to be arranged.

Fortunately, many empresses died before the Qing Dynasty, so it was not too difficult for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange this matter.

As for the management of the harem, it was appointed by the emperor to be managed by the noble concubine Niu Hulu, assisted by concubine Liu Gui, and several princes must obey filial piety.

From the first day of observing filial piety, Si Ning knew that this was physical labor.

Not to mention the inability to eat meat, the crying spirit is not easy. After one day, half of the life will be lost.

In the end, she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked the people below to sew some soft pads for leggings and waist guards to tie on her knees and waist, and gave a share to Mianyi Mianchen and Wu Linzhu.

He also asked Qing Jin to make some filling snacks and put them in his purse, and gave one to his sons and daughters.

Although it won't be too comfortable, it can feel a little better anyway.

As for the matter of crying until the end and not being able to cry, people of this era already have a secret weapon, such as a handkerchief stained with onion juice, which is always worn, and the eyes are full of tears when wiped.

The crying spirit cried for a full seven days. She was supposed to find a lama to come in to chant sutras, but she didn't. When the Zi Palace was finally moved to the Guande Hall, Jiaqing came to offer wine in front of the Queen's spirit.

The princes and elder brothers sent off the spirit all the way, and Si Ning watched the Empress Zigong leave the Forbidden City, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

Xi Tara, this woman who made him feel very complicated, has finally finished her life, and Si Ning herself will continue to struggle in the whirlpool of the Qing Palace. Between the two of them, who has a better fate? ?Now no one can say for sure, maybe in the future, when she died, posterity can comment on it.

……

On the second day of March, one month after Sitara's death, Emperor Qianlong approved her posthumous title.

In May, on the [-]th day of Empress Daxing's heir, an official decree was made to posthumously posthumously Empress Xiaoshu, and the Zi Palace of Empress Xiaoshu was moved to Jing'an Village.

At the same time, the status of the palace has also changed.

Before Empress Xiaoshu passed away, the dragons in the harem had no leader, the two concubines did not belong to each other, they lived their own lives, and the concubines below had to go to two places to pay their respects every day, but now Empress Xiaoshu’s hundred days have passed, and the emperor issued a decree , Concubine Niu Hulu was canonized as the imperial concubine, and after Empress Xiaoshu got rid of her clothes 27 months later, she succeeded the middle palace and was canonized as the queen.

As soon as this imperial decree came out, the situation in the harem suddenly became clear.

Niu Hulu became the final winner, and everyone's eyes turned to Si Ning.

Si Ning didn't feel anything at all, she could have expected this result long ago.

Isn't that what happened in history?Even if she asks herself, she doesn't have the power to change history.

Qianlong's meaning was very clear, no matter how much he liked Mianyi, he would not change the rules of the Qing palace for Mianyi, she had no advantage at all in front of Niu Hulu.

After that, the Niu Hulu clan quickly moved out of Chengqian Palace and moved to Jingren Palace.

Si Ning did not understand this operation, the queen of Jingren Palace had just died, so why did the imperial concubine live in it.

But it's okay if she doesn't understand this kind of thing, anyway, it's fine for Qianlong to understand.

On the day when Niu Hulu was canonized, Mian Yi came to visit Sining's house.

He seemed hesitant to speak, trying to comfort her, but he didn't seem to know what to say.

Si Ning just smiled: "Silly boy, Er Niang doesn't care about these vain names, it's just that it hurts you and makes your reputation worse."

After hearing this, Mian Yi shook her head: "Emiang, I don't care about this. If everything in this world is determined by birth, then the incident of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty would not have happened."

Si Ning couldn't help but want to cry when he heard this, this child is really distressing.

……

Jiaqing was barely able to say a word about the succession of the canonization, so on the second day of the canonization, Jiaqing came to Sining's room.

He looked a little guilty, and said softly to Si Ning: "In my heart, I value you and Mian Yi after all."

Si Ning smiled, without any grievance or resentment on his face, he just said softly: "I only want to serve you by your side, Mian Yi Mian Chen Wu Lin Zhu is content to grow up well, nothing else Dare to dream."

Hearing this kind words, Jiaqing felt so distressed in his heart that he subconsciously hugged Sining tightly, but he wondered in his heart, after all, Mianyi was old and intelligent, Mian Kai from Niu Hulu couldn't see it now. Half wise, this matter still needs to be considered again.

……

Not to mention that Jiaqing was thinking about this matter, Qianlong was also thinking about it. He flipped through the booklet in his hand, which recorded Mianyi's words and deeds over the years, as well as a lot of homework.

The more he looked at it, the more he sighed in his heart, it is true that evil bamboos produce good bamboo shoots, and such a pedantic person as Shiwu would give birth to such a smart son.

It's a pity that I am already old now, otherwise I would have to call him to teach him in person.

Thinking of this, he put down the brochure and asked Mian Yi to come and answer.

Even if you can't call him in person, you still have to polish it to see how good he is.

……

Si Ning didn't know what Qianlong was thinking. After sending Jiaqing away the next day, she went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects.

It's the same greeting in one place, but the feeling it brings is completely different.

When Sitara was there, the Jingren Palace was dignified and exquisite, and the small-leaved red sandalwood in the room was precious just by looking at it.

But Niu Hulu's family is different from her. The Jingren Palace decorated by her hands is elegant and peaceful. Softer and quieter.

Si Ning took the first seat on the east side, and soon Concubine Xun and Concubine Ying also came.

Concubine Xun carefully glanced at Si Ning, seeing her indifferent expression, she was relieved, while Concubine Ying looked at Si Ning with more malice in her eyes, as if she was watching a joke, but when Si Ning looked over , she quickly looked away again.

Si Ning sneered inwardly, and looked away.

Niu Hulu came out soon. She didn't wear any solemn and gorgeous clothes today, but only a very simple and elegant flag dress, and the jewelry on her head was made of white jade.

After coming out, his face was full of smiles: "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Everyone stood up and saluted, but they all dared not.

Niu Hulu waved his hand: "Okay, let's all sit down, you are all a family, you are welcome."

Several people just sat down.

Then Niu Hulu looked at Si Ning with a sincere face: "Some time ago, I was guarding the coffin for Empress Daxing. I think you look bad, but are you better now?"

Si Ning nodded with a smile: "Thank you for asking, it's already much better."

Niu Hulu nodded with a smile: "That's good. If there is anything inappropriate in the future, just tell me, don't wrong yourself."

Si Ning responded softly.

Afterwards, Niu Hulu's family cared about the other people. The Ying concubine was still lukewarm, and the inferior concubine didn't talk much, but Chun Changzai and Niu Hulu's family were quite able to talk, but this is also the case. Before that, Chun Changzai was Living in the same palace as Niu Hulu's family, the relationship between the two must be good.

This is also the first time Si Ning sees Chun Chang talking. Before, she always lowered her head and hid in a corner, as if she had no sense of existence, like a timid rabbit.

But now listening to her talking with Niu Hulu, her tone is lively and her smile is shallow, this is how she looks like a lively and lovely little girl.

Si Ning really likes such a lively child, so he took a few more glances at her.

Niu Hulu immediately noticed it, she pursed her lips lightly, and said softly: "The imperial concubine didn't know Chunchang was here before, did she? She's really a monkey." After speaking, she raised her chin to Chunchang and said softly : "Don't say hello to the imperial concubine yet."

Chun Chang stood up somewhat cautiously, bowed his head and bowed to Si Ning.

Si Ning smiled: "I just think Chun Chang's talking is interesting."

When Niu Hulu heard this, she lowered her eyes, smiled softly for a long time and said: "If the concubine likes it, I can let Chun Changzai live with you, as a companion."

After saying this, Chun Chang glanced at Niu Hulu with some anxiety, his eyes full of fear.

Si Ning also had no intention of adding someone to his residence, and hurriedly said: "It's unnecessary, I'm a mess everywhere, but Chun Changzai has been wronged."

After hearing this, Niu Hulu didn't feel too embarrassed, and nodded with a smile: "If that's the case, then that's all."

Chun Changzai breathed a sigh of relief, carefully lowered his head again, and didn't dare to speak any more after that.

Si Ning always felt that there was something wrong, but she didn't think too much about it, and then lowered her head to drink tea.

The greetings for this day were soon over. Sining returned to her Yikun Palace, and concubine Xun also followed her. She hadn't approached Sining in the past few days, but today she became interested, and the two entered the house Talked about gossip.

"Have you heard that at the end of this year, the Outer Banners may have a draft, and then the palace will have to enter." Concubine Xun said while drinking tea.

Of course Sining heard about this, so she nodded.

The concubine Xun sighed: "I said before that the fresh and tender girl keeps stalking one after another, and I'm sure I'm right. No, it's coming soon."

Si Ning couldn't help but smile: "When it comes, it will come, you and I can't stop this matter, think about the good, if there are too many people, it will be lively."

Concubine Xun couldn't help laughing: "You still have the bearing."

Si Ning shook his head, what is this called being generous, what is called having fun while suffering.

The two talked for a while, and unconsciously they talked about Chun Changzai. Sining liked her character quite a bit, and said with a smile: "I used to be an honest and quiet person, but I didn't expect her to be a Lively."

Concubine Xun took a look at Si Ning: "What's more, you just like the new and dislike the old. With Spring always around, I'm afraid you'll forget about your concubines."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing out loud: "I'll just say a word, you're narrow-minded, don't worry, you'll always be the number one with me."

Speaking of this, Concubine Xun felt a little embarrassed herself, and also laughed.

……

This year's Eight Banners draft, two people were selected into the palace, one is Chungui, Dong Jiashi, and the other is Yugui.

On the day the nobleman entered the palace, Si Ning was stunned when she saw her appearance, she was really icy and beautiful, no wonder she was named jade.

As for Mr. Chungui, although he is also handsome and pleasant, compared with Mr. Yugui, his sharpness is inevitably overshadowed.

That night, the nobleman served at bedtime, and for the next three days, it was the nobleman who attended the bedtime.

For Jiaqing, this was already very rare, not to mention that the concubine Xun couldn't sit still, even the empress looked a little ugly on the third day.

Fortunately, Jiaqing is also a very well-behaved person. Three days later, he recruited Mr. Chungui.

Everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, but Sining did not relax. She knew that the reason why Jiaqing restrained herself was not because he didn't like Yugui, but because he was afraid of being said to be greedy for beauty. , I'm afraid that he will be favored for a while in the future.

But soon, Si Ning's worries became empty.

In December, Emperor Jiaqing recruited Yuguiren again, but Yuguiren fell ill in front of Emperor Jiaqing, and Emperor Jiaqing walked away in a huff.

Later, Si Ning asked someone to inquire and found out that Yugui had blood deficiency and spasms, and the old symptoms would recur when he caught cold.

Jiaqing was taken aback by her appearance of being ill. Her love for Yugui turned into resentment, and she never saw Yugui again.

Instead, he began to favor Chungui who entered the palace at the same time as Yugui.

And this nobleman also had a wink, his gentle and pure appearance was very suitable for Jiaqing's appetite, and soon, nobleman Chun's popularity was already equal to that of Si Ning and the queen.

But this person, whether it is Sining or the Queen, is very stable. Although she has been favored, this favor is just a castle in the air. For a while, she guessed it was normal.

The Spring Festival in the second year of Jiaqing was quite lively. Sining’s children were all around. After the New Year’s Eve feast, the children kowtowed to her and wished her a new year. Sining cheerfully sent everyone Red envelope.

In order to make her happy, the children also acted happy. The mother and child were very happy.

After the new year, the third year of Jiaqing, and the year of the draft, Si Ning only felt that his head was getting bigger. For three years in a row, the harem would not have a peaceful life.

I don't know who will join this year?
