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

On the day of October [-]th, Sining, who was originally busy, was completely free. Xiaoding had already done enough preparations. In the morning, Jiaqing will hold the initial ceremony for Wu Linzhu in the Hall of Preservation and Harmony .

Thinking of her daughter who has loved her for many years, who will soon become someone else's daughter-in-law, Si Ning is very sad, but she also understands that in the face of such a thing, she can only let go.

She didn't do anything else that day, but held Wu Linzhu's hand and said a lot, as if she wanted to finish all the words in her life in one breath.

Wu Linzhu also let her sit and listened with a smile on her face.

Seeing her daughter's cute face, Si Ning felt distressed.

"Your wedding date is set on November [-]th. At that time, Er Niang will ask your brother to send you off in person, and your dowry nun, Er Niang, has also chosen for you. She is docile and honest, and she will not let her decide." It’s just that you have to stand up for yourself, don’t be controlled by others instead.”

Wu Linzhu nodded with a smile: "Emiang, don't worry, I remember what you said, and she is really easy to talk to when I get along with the mother these few days."

Si Ning sighed and shook her head: "Now she is in the palace, with me sitting in charge, she is naturally easy to talk, but it will be uncertain when she leaves the palace in the future."

Wu Linzhu was taken aback, bit her lip subconsciously, and finally said after a long time: "Er Niang, don't worry, I will not be ruled by slaves, I will definitely stand!"

Seeing her daughter's serious face, Si Ning touched her face with a smile: "Good boy, Er Niang hopes that you can do it."

Wu Linzhu smiled a little shyly, and said in a low voice after a long time: "When my daughter gets married in the future, I will come back to see my mother from time to time."

Si Ning smiled and nodded her nose: "Er Niang is waiting for you to come and see me."

This night, their mother and daughter slept together, and Jiaqing didn't bother her very much. When she got up early the next day, Jiaqing held a banquet for the preliminary ceremony in front of her, and behind Sining, many concubines also came. congratulate.

The people in Yikun Palace were so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their heels, Wulin Zhuan sat in the room, and Sining went out to entertain the concubine who came to congratulate her.

This time the queen also came and brought the fourth princess. Last time she was conferred, the fourth princess was also conferred the title of Princess Zhuang Jing Gulun, but her wedding date is next year.

The fourth princess was still a little shy, and as soon as she entered the door and said a few words to Concubine Xun, she was about to find Wu Linzhu, and Si Ning had someone lead her to the back.

……

The queen watched this scene without making a sound, and when the fourth princess left, she smiled and said: "This child is always closer to the third princess. I have kept her in the room to learn the rules these few days. I'm afraid it will be boring." Broke her."

After hearing this, Si Ning just smiled: "If you are bored, you can come to Wu Linzhu at any time. After the wedding, she has only a few days to relax. I don't want to restrict her too much, so she This time is always idle."

The queen couldn't tell if Si Ning said this casually or with a sarcasm in it, but she just pretended she didn't understand, she still nodded with a smile.

But the eyes of the other concubines in the room were flying wildly, as if they sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the noble concubine and the empress.

Si Ning just pretended not to see these eyebrows and eyebrows, and still talked to people with a smile.

The fourth princess in the back had already entered Wu Linzhu's room at this time, seeing her sitting on the couch in a red flag dress, she approached with a smile.

Wu Linzhu was also close to this younger sister. He asked her to sit down and served tea and snacks. He just looked at the clothes on her body. It seemed that she had seen her wear them before, but she didn't expect to be dressed like this again today. Wu Linzhu She frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but it was hard to say much about the happy day, so she kept her thoughts in her heart.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I finally got the time to come out today." Wu Linzhu said with a smile.

The fourth princess pursed her lips: "Today is my sister's big day, so I will definitely come."

Wu Linzhu touched her sister's forehead and said with a smile, "Your wedding day is approaching, and my sister will definitely give you a generous gift."

The fourth princess lowered her head in embarrassment, and patted Wu Linzhu: "Sister, why are you talking so nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore."

Wu Linzhu hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, it's my sister's fault, so don't be angry."

In fact, the fourth princess was not really angry, but she was a little awkward, so when she heard this, she also smiled, and she could see a bit of lively posture in her eyes.

Wu Linzhu looked at her smile, sighed in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Is the Empress still holding you in the house these few days?"

The fourth princess bit her lip and nodded: "Emperor Niang said that my rules are not good, and I am about to get married, so I have to study hard, otherwise I will lose the dignity of the royal family when I get married in the future."

Wu Linzhu couldn't help frowning: "Those rules are just clichés, you and I are the noble daughters of the Tian family, why bother to learn these things, the queen's mother is foolish."

The fourth princess just shed tears when she heard this: "I don't want to learn these things, but the queen mother treated me very well in the past, but now there is only this one request, and she has never treated me harshly. How can I disappoint the queen mother?" .”

Wu Linzhu sighed after hearing this, and couldn't say anything more, so he could only hold the fourth princess's hand and said, "Good sister, learn the rules, don't make things difficult for yourself, if those slaves dare to put their noses on their faces, You don't need to be polite, otherwise, in the future, wouldn't it be a reversal of priorities and being manipulated by others?"

In the past, apart from the queen and concubine, the four princesses trusted this elder sister the most. Hearing this, she could only nod in a daze: "I remember what my elder sister said, but the nanny in front of me treated me pretty well. They all think for me, and they don’t know what to do with me.”

Wu Linzhu frowned upon hearing this: "You said she treated you well, how did she treat you well?"

The fourth princess said everything in detail, but Wu Linzhu was so angry that she was half dead when she heard it. A nanny actually took care of the princess's food, and the fourth princess had to talk to a nanny even after drinking half a bowl of soup. How decent!

But looking at her sister's innocent face, Wu Linzhu didn't know how to tell her about this for a while, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart, and told the fourth princess what Si Ning taught her.

In the past, the fourth princess had no one to teach her the methods of controlling the servants, so she listened very carefully and waited until the banquet was about to start before she suddenly came back to her senses.

Looking at her younger sister, Wu Linzhu knew that it might be useless to talk too much at this time, so she could only let her go out for dinner first, and then talk to her when she has time.

The fourth princess nodded, and walked away step by step.

After the person left, Wu Linzhu called Li Yun, the maid in charge of the palace, to her, and said, "Go and inquire about the personnel affairs in the Fourth Princess's Palace, especially the nun who is in charge. Inquire carefully."

Li Yun was a maid trained by Qing Jin from Si Ning, and she was given to Wu Lin Zhu later, so she was very reliable, and she was not surprised to hear this order, so she complied in a deep voice, and then retreated.

After Li Yun went out, only Xing Yu was left serving Wu Linzhu, she whispered: "The nanny is so bold, could it be that the empress ordered it?"

Wu Linzhu shook her head: "It's absolutely impossible with Huang Erniang's city, but the fourth sister is not Huang Erniang's own, so it's very possible that she doesn't care so much."

Xing Yu curled her lips: "It is said in the palace that the empress regards the fourth princess as her own love. It is said that the fourth elder brother is not as respectable as the fourth princess in front of the empress. This is also false."

Wu Linzhu didn't speak, but her heart was full of thoughts. Although this statement cannot be said to be false, it is certainly not 100% accurate. The empress loves the fourth elder brother so much that she will urge him to study hard, and she will not be rude to him. not allowed.

As for the fourth younger sister, the Empress Empress was more superficial than sincere, otherwise she would not have taught her any important methods, and just let her learn the rules blindly, all she wanted was not to make mistakes.

She might not be able to see this before, but now that she has been obsessed with it for a long time, she can still see it.

Sometimes she couldn't help sighing, and didn't know whether the Queen's mother was tired of doing this. For a reputation, she worked so hard, and in the end the fourth sister didn't teach it well, and the fourth elder brother was so rebellious, and she was the only one who got it. A good reputation, I don't know if it's worth it.

In her heart, Wu Linzhu did not approve of the queen's actions, but she was not a queen after all, and she couldn't really understand what the queen was thinking, so she could only add emotion in vain.

……

After the banquet was over, the preliminary ceremony was almost over for the guests who came to congratulate her, but during this process, Jiaqing still gave a lot of things over, giving Wu Linzhu a big face.

Si Ning also felt very happy, who doesn't want their daughter's wedding to be grand and smooth?

After the initial ceremony was completely over, Sining sent the guests away one by one, among them the fourth princess was the most reluctant, and before leaving, she said to Sining: "Your mother, please tell the third sister that if you have time in the future, You must come and see me."

Si Ning responded with a smile, but the queen's expression on the side was a little unnatural.

Si Ning ignored it, just stood at the door and sent everyone away.

Seeing their leaving backs, Si Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, this tiring day is finally over.

Sining turned around and went back to Yikun Palace, just in time to see Wu Linzhu slipping out from the back room, seeing Sining came back, Wu Linzhu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Daughter heard that all the guests have left, so she wanted to come out have a look."

Si Ning didn't blame her, just smiled and said, "I know you're bored all day, so come out if you want to go for a walk."

After finishing speaking, he asked her if she was full at noon, and if she was hungry now.

Wu Linzhu replied one by one, Si Ning felt relieved.

After the questioning, the mother and son went to the back room to talk. Wu Linzhu couldn't help but tell the story of the fourth princess. Sining hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said softly: "The queen asked the fourth princess to learn the rules. It should be punished, and there is no reason to find out, as for that slave, what do you think?"

Wu Linzhu sighed: "Fourth sister is honest, I'm afraid she will never dare to stand out, I have the intention to help her, but in the current situation, if it affects the whole body, my daughter is afraid, if it is really exposed, the queen The Empress will feel dissatisfied, so that the situation of the fourth younger sister is getting worse."

Si Ning, however, smiled: "That's not entirely true. That nanny was kept by the queen, not the queen's confidant. What's the use of the queen protecting her? If you want to, why don't you find an opportunity to tear this matter away directly? After all, the queen loves face, and once this matter breaks out, she will definitely take care of the fourth princess, and she may take care of the fourth princess even more in the future."

Wu Linzhu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hesitated: "But if the daughter is in the early stage, will the empress feel dissatisfied with her mother?"

Si Ning sneered: "It's okay, the empress and I have long had grievances, it's not bad, and now, even if she is dissatisfied with me, she might not dare to take it lightly."

Hearing this, Wu Linzhu felt that Er Niang had sacrificed a lot for herself, so she couldn't help but stop Si Ning's arm, and said softly: "E Niang has thought a lot about me, but if this matter is a little bit to Er Niang impact, the daughter might as well not do it.”

Hearing her daughter's words, Si Ning's heart softened, she raised her hand and touched her head, and said softly: "Good boy, Er Niang is here, if you want to do anything, just do it boldly, Er Niang I also want to see how many skills you have grown after these few days of teaching."

Upon hearing this, Wu Linzhu's eyes lit up, and she knew that Er Niang was trying to make a comparison, so she hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Er Niang, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter properly!"

Seeing her daughter so excited, Si Ning couldn't help smiling, her daughter finally wanted to take the initiative once, how could she not support it?Not only to support, but also to let her complete this matter, so as to increase her confidence.

Because she wanted to show Er Niang what she was doing, Wu Linzhu didn't discuss this matter with Si Ning. Instead, she went back to the room mysteriously, whispering to the two maids in front of her.

Seeing her like this, Si Ning ignored her and let her act on her own, and instead dealt with the affairs of her own palace.

This time she lost her green tea in the palace, and a maid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to replace her. After the lessons of the previous two times, the one who came this time seems to have no experience. She should be a newcomer, and she just learned well. The rules are divided.

However, it is also a bit of an advantage that this maid can be assigned. She is literate, and she is fairly handsome, which is enough for a court lady.

Sining named her Qingju, and gave her to Qingjin, and the previous Qingguo was given to Qingdai.

The reason why Qingguo was not allowed to take on the errand was because Si Ning found that the child seemed to have been puaed by Qingcha. Although he acted neatly, he was a little shy and lacked confidence.

Thinking about Qing He before, Si Ning realized something, maybe that Qing He would have a thought, Qing Cha also provoked a lot in it, suppressed these people, she would become the third person in front of her, It is also convenient to act in the future.

But this matter is nothing more than Si Ning's speculation, and now that Qingcha has gone to nowhere, these things have become an afterthought.

After these few days of training, Qingguo has already looked very good. She is very capable and experienced, but she lacks self-confidence. After Qingdai's encouraging education, she looks very energetic now. Things are going strong.

And Qingju is very smart, but in a few days, she can already get started with some simple errands.

Things in Si Ning Palace also began to get on the right track.

However, with Sining's cautiousness, she has already suffered from paranoia, she still dare not let go too much, Qingguo went into the outhouse to serve, while Qingju took over Qingguo's errand and continued to be in charge of cleaning the flowers and trees outside.

Originally, I thought that a girl like Yi Qingju who had studied would be dissatisfied, but after hearing Qing Jin's return, she was doing quite well. Seeing that she was a down-to-earth person, Si Ning felt relieved for the time being.

……

In the afternoon, Mianyi and Mianchen came back from the front, and they both looked very happy, especially Mianchen, who seemed to have drunk, his face was flushed, and he yelled for almond milk as soon as he entered the door.

Si Ning hurriedly had someone make it and brought it up, Mian Chen drank two cups before letting out a sigh of relief.

While wiping his face with a handkerchief, Si Ning sighed, "You kid, you've started drinking like others. If you have a headache at night, it's up to you!"

Mian Chen chuckled, but didn't answer.

On the other hand, Mian Yi, who was sitting on the other side, said coolly: "If you have a headache, you deserve it. How many Mongolian princes have come here today? Although Huang Ama ordered us to toast, he has already prepared water for him. It's a pity , he is an ignorant person, he was curious about the drinks in Mongolia, and he wanted to fight with them, but I stopped him, otherwise he would have to carry them back today."

Hearing this, Si Ning was so angry that he poked Mian Chen hard on the head: "You are such a bastard, you can do such a thing, how old are you, do you know that people over there drink with bowls? Is it? You don't want to die!"

Mian Chen approached Si Ning pitifully, and said in a low voice, "Er Niang, you can't blame me, you can only blame them for being too happy to see it, so I just thought that wine was some kind of fine wine and begged for a glass." I came to drink, but I didn’t expect it to be very spicy. I didn’t want to drink it after I took a sip, and then I said that I wanted to fight for wine, but it was difficult for those people to push me away.”

After speaking, he took a flattering look at Mian Yi: "Fortunately, big brother saved me, otherwise I would really have to lie down and come back."

Mian Yi didn't look at him at all, just sneered.

Si Ning was a little helpless, and patted him on the shoulder: "He's a young man anyway, how could he act so unsteadily."

Mian Chen was still grinning: "I'm not married yet, so I'm not a young man, I'm still a child."

Si Ning laughed angrily at him, and couldn't help twisting his ears lightly: "What a cunning little fellow."

After talking about Mian Chen, Si Ning asked about the situation of today's initial ceremony, Mian Yi said everything in detail, and he was more cautious when talking about Sotnam Dobuji, the son-in-law.

"Before Sotnam Dobuji walked in front of the imperial court, and Huang Amado valued him a lot. This time he married Wu Linzhu, and I am afraid that he will be appointed as the imperial minister in the future. It can be seen that Huang Amado trusts him, and he is a man. Be cautious, act prudently, not the kind of frivolous person, you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Si Ning also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I don't expect him to have any great promise, I just hope he can live a good life with Wu Linzhu."

Mian Yi smiled: "Look at him, he is just a living person."

Speaking of this, Mian Chen interrupted: "It's just too much like a person who lives a life, I don't think it's interesting."

Si Ning gave the youngest son a sideways look: "It's good that you look interesting, if you find it interesting, Er Niang can't rest assured."

Mian Chen was so angry that he could hang an oil pot on his mouth, but Si Ning couldn't help laughing.

……

After the two brothers and Si Ning finished talking, they went to see Wu Linzhu, and each gave a congratulatory gift. Mianyi seemed to sit in Wulinzhu's room for a while longer, and the brothers and sisters didn't know what to say. When Wu Linzhu came out, she was already smiling.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mian Yi and Mian Chen went back to the No. [-] South Office. Seeing Wu Linzhu's happy face, Si Ning guessed in her heart whether she was doing it for the future concubine or for the fourth princess?This is not known.

She didn't ask too much, she just greeted her daughter to have dinner and let her go back to rest.

Early the next morning, Wu Linzhu followed Sining to greet the queen, and was about to visit her in the fourth princess's room.

Naturally, the queen would not stop her, she agreed with a smile, and asked someone to bring some fruit and snacks to entertain her.

Si Ning didn't stay long, and went back after asking An, but let Qing Jin keep paying attention to the queen's palace.

As a result, after a while, news came back. Hearing that there was a commotion in the queen's palace, the queen was furious, and the maid who was serving in front of the fourth princess had a fit.

A smile appeared on the corner of Sining's mouth when he heard this, Wu Linzhu really succeeded.

……

At this moment in Chuxiu Palace, the empress was sitting upright with an angry face, an old nanny was kneeling underneath, and the fourth princess was shedding tears, being protected by Wu Linzhu in her arms.

The queen pointed at the nanny angrily, and said angrily: "I see that you are the person left behind by the previous queen, so I let you serve in front of the princess. I didn't expect you to become more thoughtful. If you commit the following crime, you will pick up the princess." Come on, the princess wants to finish the soup, but she still has to be under your control, you are so bold!"

The mother was so frightened that her head was full of cold sweat, she cried and begged for mercy: "I don't dare! The slave is just afraid that the princess will get fat after drinking the soup, and her appearance will be unsightly when she gets married. That's why the princess is restricted from drinking soup. The slave is all for the princess. Never dare to commit a crime boldly!"

The queen's tone froze, and she looked at the fourth princess.

Wu Linzhu saw that she was showing signs of easing up, and immediately said loudly: "You said that the soup is fat, so why don't you let the fourth sister use bright fabrics, but store them in the bottom of the box, is this fabric also fat? Looking at the clothes of the fourth younger sister, there is only one red flag dress, and the rest is either old-fashioned or weak, tell me, what do you want to do!"

The nanny was stunned for a while, and couldn't find an excuse for a while, and after a long time said: "Slave, I want the princess to know the truth of frugality, so don't spend too much."

She said this with a very guilty conscience, Wu Linzhu didn't know the difference at all, and just sneered.

Those things are nothing more than what the fourth princess deserves. What does it have to do with thrift?

The nanny also knew that this excuse was unjustifiable, so she didn't say anything, and just started to cry: "The slave has nursed the princess, and has taken care of the princess so well, there is no credit but hard work, and everything I think is useless." It's for the princess, how can the princess think of a slave like this, princess, princess!"

She walked on her knees and approached the fourth princess: "You have to pity the poor servant, please spare the servant this time, in the future, the servant will not care what the princess likes to eat and drink!"

The fourth princess was so frightened by the movement that she ran back and hid. Wu Linzhu was annoyed, and stood in front of the fourth princess, angrily saying: "You dare to come and grab the fourth princess, it's a big face, you are a slave You eat well, drink hot food, wear gold and silver, but let your master live frugally, is this why you take care of the princess?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at the queen: "Mother Huang, this slave is extremely cunning, and asked the empress to be the master of the fourth princess."

The queen's face was already very ugly at this time. She has subsidized the fourth princess for so many years, even more than her own son, but looking at it at this moment, the things she gave to the fourth princess were all taken away by this nanny , When the princess gets married in the future and leaves the palace, won't it all fall into the hands of the mother.

The more the queen thought about it, the more angry she became, and this person was not arranged by herself, so she didn't need to give her any face, and said loudly: "Come on, drag this dog slave to me and bring it to the Punishment Department for disposal! "

As soon as the words fell, someone came in and dragged the nanny away.

The nanny panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly struggled to look at the fourth princess: "Princess, help me, princess! I was sent by the queen to serve you. Now that I am gone, who can think about the princess? Help me, princess. !"

The fourth princess turned her face away with tears streaming down her face, but she didn't speak.

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief, if the fourth princess opened her mouth at this time, it would be difficult for her to deal with her.

"Shut her mouth!" The queen added coldly.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and blocked Mammy's mouth, and she couldn't cry anymore, so she was dragged out like that.
