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

In the eighth year of Jiaqing's New Year, Si Ning had a strange and boring life. Without Wu Linzhu by her side, she felt a little lonely by herself.

However, there were a few maids in the palace talking with her, and the sadness in Si Ning's heart was quickly diluted.

When it was the first day of the new year, Mian Yi brought Fujin to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Si Ning, and they also brought Yi Xuan together.

Yixuan has seen the child who is almost two years old, he can speak very well, and he doesn't want anyone to hug him, he ran in all the way, lying on Si Ning's lap.

"Mama, Yixuan is here!"

Si Ning looked at this white, tender, round little grandson, couldn't help but smile, reached out and hugged him on his lap, and said softly: "Yixuan is so capable, he can walk here by himself!"

Yixuan nodded fiercely: "Yixuan go alone! Don't be hugged!"

Si Ning smiled and kissed her grandson's little cheek. The last time Yixuan came to play with her, she saw that Yixuan was over a year old and was still being carried in and out by the wet nurse, so she wanted to let him go too. one go.

Yixuan was taught by Dafu Jin to be very obedient, so he didn't cry, and really walked along with Si Ning with great interest, unexpectedly, he lost his interest when he walked, and he won't be hugged in the future.

Little Niu Hulu also entered the door at this time, and Mian Yi greeted Si Ning, and when he called out, he smiled and said: "This child has been walking by himself since he came back from Er Niang. Don't let the wet nurse hold him, after running for a few days, his body is a bit stronger."

Si Ning nodded: "That's the reason, children should not be pampered too much, a little running is also good for the body."

Several people sat down and began to talk, while Yixuan nestled in Sining's arms obediently, with big black eyes, looking at one thing for a while, and then another for a while.

Little Niu Hulu smiled first and said, "Come here today, one is to pay New Year's greetings to Er Niang, and the other is to congratulate Er Niang."

Si Ning was a little surprised: "Why do you like it?"

Little Niu Hulu looked at Mianyi, and said softly, "It's the daughter-in-law who is pregnant, and Tong Jia Gege from the elder brother's courtyard is also pregnant."

Si Ning raised his eyebrows, this Tong Jia Gege was pointed out to Mian Yi by Jiaqing himself in the third year of Jiaqing, although he also came from the Tong Jia family, but he was from a side branch, his family background is very ordinary, after entering the palace, there may not be any Thanks to Mianyi's love, she did not expect to be pregnant right now.

But the most important thing is that Niu Hulu is also pregnant.

Si Ning immediately showed joy, and said with a smile: "It's a double happiness, it's a great thing."

Little Niu Hulu couldn't see the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, but smiled all over his face: "It's okay, my son, it's the second time after all, but it's the first time for Tong Jiagege to be happy, my son thought, it's better to have more Give her a mother who knows how to give birth to take care of her, so she can feel at ease."

Si Ning just smiled after hearing this: "You can do as you see, I believe you."

Little Niu Hulu lowered her eyes and thanked Sining with a smile.

Mian Yi didn't say anything during this process, but when she looked at Xiao Niu Hulu, her eyes softened a little.

After talking about this, they talked about other things, thinking about the busy days of the new year, Si Ning told Xiao Niu Hulu to be more careful these days and not to get tired Of course, the little Niu Hulu family responded one by one.

During the Chinese New Year this year, the queen still claimed to be sick, and she said in advance that she would not pay her respects, so they didn't go to the queen's place. They only had a meal, and the couple left. The little Niu Hulu went back to the third South Institute, and Mianyi had to return. Go to the front to greet Qianlong.

When going back, Xiao Yixuan was a little bit reluctant: "Mama, I will come to eat the snacks and preserves from your palace next time."

Si Ning laughed, and hurriedly asked someone to pack a bag of snacks and candied fruit for the little elder brother, and rubbed his grandson's face with some distress: "We are not hungry, Yixuan, take it back and eat slowly."

Yixuan smiled a little embarrassedly, and Xiao Niu Hulu stood by and watched this scene with a soft expression, and felt that his whole heart became more stable.

……

Listening to the sound of firecrackers and noise outside, the queen flicked the prayer beads in her hand. She had read and written many Buddhist scriptures in the past few days. Her body was already stained with a scent of sandalwood, and her whole body looked changed. It became much more peaceful, but the undercurrent behind this peace was not visible at all.

"Second elder brother hasn't entered the palace yet?" the queen asked lightly.

He Xiang was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Just now the Second Institute came over to spread the word that something happened in the Second Elder Brother's Institute, and I may have to come later."

The queen frowned slightly: "What happened? What happened? Did he have trouble with Guerjia again?"

It's strange to say that when the second elder brother first married the Guerjia family, the two seemed to be on good terms, but as time went on, the disputes between the two became more and more, until now, The couple could barely speak a few words, but they ran frequently to the houses of several concubines, but no matter how frequently they ran, they still had no heirs. This worried the emperor very much and also upset the queen.

He Xiang coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's Ge Ge in the second elder brother's room who saw Hong and made a fuss."

The queen's half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and she looked at He Xiang in surprise.

"Seeing red? Such a big matter, why didn't you report it earlier!"

He Xiang also complained in her heart, and said in a low voice, "I just got the news, and I was about to tell you."

The queen angrily patted the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table: "On the first day of the new year, such an unlucky thing happened. If the emperor knows about it, what should I think? I can't even understand the back house, and I don't even know that the concubine is pregnant!"

To be honest, the empress was angry. After all, although Guerjia was the mistress, she couldn't control the stomach of the concubine's room. If she didn't get a pulse, how would she know this.

But seeing Hong now, someone must be responsible for it, the queen thought about it, and said to He Xiang: "You go to the second institute to find out, and see what is the reason for seeing Hong, you must find out clearly!"

After all, the second elder brother was born before the empress. Even if the naked eye could see that he had no future, the empress did not dare to neglect her. Her fourth elder brother was still too young. Now she had to put the second elder brother under the pressure of Mianyi, so she had to Get a good relationship with the second elder brother, so that she will have more room to maneuver.

He Xiang led the order to go out, but the queen was still a little uneasy sitting in the room.

There are much more women in the second elder brother's courtyard than in the eldest elder brother's courtyard. There are two Gege referred to by Jiaqing alone, and there are two or three who he himself likes. There are many people, and there are many right and wrong Well, in the past there were many quarrels and quarrels over needles and threads, but they were not serious matters. At most, she called the Guerjia family over to beat them up, but now if there is a problem with the children, it will be a big deal.

……

When He Xiang came to the second office, he happened to see Da Fujin coming back from the palace, He Xiang's heart skipped a beat, but since he saw it, he couldn't hide, so he could only bite the bullet and go up to greet Da Fujin.

Da Fujin looked at the plain face, and raised his hand with a smile: "Aunt He Xiang, you don't need to be too polite, how can Auntie have the time to come to Nansan Institute today?"

He Xiang laughed dryly: "The Empress ordered the slaves to come and visit the second elder brother."

Da Fujin glanced at the gate of the second institute, and could faintly hear the commotion inside, his face remained unchanged, he just smiled and nodded: "So that's the case, then I won't delay my aunt's errand."

He Xiang blessed him again, and then respectfully sent Da Fujin into the gate of the head office, and then he was relieved.

She stood where she was, then turned around and went to the second institute.

When she arrived at the gate of the second school, she found that there was no one guarding the gate. She felt a chill in her heart. When she entered the yard, she saw the second elder brother hurried forward with a pale face, and there were people chasing after him.

He Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped to greet the second elder brother.

Although Mian Ning was very angry, he finally saw clearly that this was the maid in front of the empress, he suppressed the anger in his heart, stood still, and avoided He Xiang's courtesy: "Why is aunt here? No one told me. "

He Xiang pursed her lips, ignored the last sentence, and only said softly: "It's the empress who has seen the second elder brother not coming for a long time, and is worried about what happened to the second elder brother, so she asked the servant to come and take a look."

After thinking about it, Mianning understood He Xiang's meaning, and became more and more annoyed that such a family scandal was spread outside, which shows the ability of the housekeeper of the Guerjia family.

"It's nothing wrong, but I woke up this morning and felt a little uncomfortable. That's why I delayed going to pay my respects to Queen Mother, and now I'm going to confess to Queen Mother."

He Xiang heard that the second elder brother didn't seem to have the intention of publicizing his family's ugliness, so he didn't dare to provoke him, and could only smile and said: "Your Majesty, why would you blame elder brother, she is just worried about what is wrong with elder brother, and it will spread to the emperor's ears. In, that's the trouble."

Mian Ning didn't understand the meaning of He Xiang's words, his face turned green and pale for a while, knowing that he might not be able to hide this matter in his yard, so he could only grit his teeth and whispered: "Auntie is thinking about it." Yes, I'm going to pay my respects to Queen Empress right now, if you have anything to do, you can go and tell Fujin."

He Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, the second elder brother was not confused to the end, so he didn't dare to say more, and bowed in response.

Mian Ning led the eunuch in front of him out of the second office with big strides, while He Xiang looked at the man who was chasing after the second elder brother, and smiled slightly: "Are you from Er Fujin's side?"

The person froze for a moment, nodded, her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she murmured: "May I go to see Fujin, aunt?"

He Xiang smiled and nodded: "I will trouble you to lead the way."

The man bit his lips, knowing that he had no other choice at this time, he could only lower his eyebrows and lead the lotus fragrance inside.

……

It was already the afternoon of the first day of junior high school when Si Ning heard the specific news.

Just when Jiaqing came to Longyan Dayue because of the Double Happiness in Mianyi Mansion, he heard the bad things about Mianning Mansion.

He was very angry, Mianning's health was not good, and it was difficult for him to raise an heir. Seeing that he had a child, but lost it like this, it was really annoying.

It was only later found out that it was Gege who was pregnant. She didn't even know she was pregnant, but she ran to Erfujin's courtyard to show off her might, but was pushed by the maid in front of Erfujin, and she fell down and slipped her baby.

As a result, when this incident happened, Er Fujin was not responsible for everything. He heard that Mianning severely reprimanded Er Fujin, and then left. Er Fujin passed out from crying, and invited the imperial physician.

Jiaqing had a terrible headache, Mianning, this child, acted more and more extreme. Although Er Fujin and the former court lady did this, Er Fujin was not at fault.

Dealing with the court lady and quietly suppressing the matter was enough, but even reprimanding Jiefa's wife and making the matter such a big mess didn't seem like a good thing to him.

Jiaqing thought for a long time, and finally asked Sining to give Er Fujin medicine to save Er Fujin's face, while he called Mianning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and severely reprimanded him.

"You are acting more and more frivolously now. How can such a thing be known to everyone with such a big fanfare? Now not only is the child gone, but you don't have much face left. People know that your house is not peaceful. Is it a good thing or not?"

In the end, Jiaqing still felt sorry for his second son's poor health, and after reprimanding him, he tried to persuade him again.

"Your Fujin, didn't you get along very well at the beginning? Why did it become like this now? After all, you are a married couple. Even if you don't care about these friendships, you still need to give her some face. Do you want me to teach you this kind of thing?"

But Mianning kept his head down, didn't answer or refute, and just stood upright.

Jiaqing couldn't help frowning, he didn't realize that this child was so stubborn.

Mianning didn't stay silent for a long time, soon, he raised his head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still lowered his head in silence, and said softly: "I know I was wrong. "

Seeing his son like this, Jiaqing also sighed, walked over, and patted his son on the shoulder: "If you feel uncomfortable, wait until next year's draft, and Ama will point you to another person. Sooner or later, there will be problems with the son. Yes, take it easy."

Mianning nodded, looking a little dull.

After Jiaqing, he taught his son a lesson, and then let Mianning go back.

Mianning came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, turned her head and glanced at the palace gate behind her, there was no emotion in her eyes, Huang Ama said it was so good, but how did he treat Erniang back then?

Mianning couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart. Didn't Eniang gradually wither away in this so-called decent neglect all those years ago?

Mianning didn't dare to think any more, turned around and walked towards her residence.

……

As soon as the new year was over, Jiaqing led Sining and his party to the Old Summer Palace.

I came to the courtyard very early this year, and I don't know if it was the atmosphere in the Jiaqing Unhappy Palace or some other reason.

But Si Ning was quite happy, because she liked the Old Summer Palace very much, and the oppressive atmosphere of the Forbidden City really made her a little unbearable.

After entering the garden, she felt much more relaxed, and Si Ning didn't let Xiao Niu Hulu come over to pay her respects, and let her raise her baby in the house with peace of mind.

Si Ning listened to gossip, strolled around the garden, and set aside an hour a day to handle palace affairs.

Now the matter in the second elder brother's courtyard has come to a conclusion. After the emperor's reprimand, the second elder brother and Er Fujin have reconciled as before, and they went to the Queen's Palace together to say hello that day. After coming to the garden, Er Fujin's Guerjia family He even came to Si Ning Palace to thank her for the medicine.

Si Ning acted according to Jiaqing's wishes, so he didn't take credit for it, and was very polite to the Guerjia family.

She could see the forced smile on Guerjia's face. This cheerful and beautiful girl now has a hint of melancholy in her eyes. She has lost a lot of weight, and she is not very focused when talking to people. .

Si Ning sighed in his heart, and kindly persuaded her: "The matter of your heirs is fate, but you should also take good care of your body, so that you can make a difference."

Guerjia gave a wry smile, and said softly: "Thank you for your comfort, Mrs. Gui'er, I understand in my heart."

Looking at her, Si Ning knew that she understood in her heart, but she might not be able to do it, so she stopped talking, chatted for a while, and asked people to leave.

When Guerjia left the Changchun Immortal Hall, she immediately shed tears, she wiped her tears as she walked, and said that even the concubine, an outsider, knew how to love her, but the second elder brother, the person next to her pillow, only had resentment towards her.

She didn't know what happened, why the second elder brother's attitude towards her changed so much, maybe it was because of the heirs, but the eldest sister-in-law hadn't met her happily ever after she had been in the house for so many years, and she didn't see the elder brother criticize her in any way.

Until the end, Guarjia thought in a trance, maybe this is the so-called reason why people's hearts are changeable.

……

The palace temporarily returned to calm, and Sining breathed a sigh of relief, and began to live her own life. Wu Linzhu went to the palace to see her a few times. She felt relieved a lot.

Until the [-]th day of the second lunar month, Jiaqing planned to go back to the Forbidden City. Originally, he planned to go back alone, but after thinking about it, he took Mian Yi with him.

During this period of time, Mian Yi has grown very quickly through business affairs. At least her skills in nourishing her spirit have become much deeper, and she also knows the gap between reality and ideals, and her actions have become more prudent. Jiaqing is more and more satisfied with him.

After Si Ning knew about it, he just thought it was a very common errand, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just told him a few clichéd words, and put the matter behind him.

As a result, at night, when she received the news of Jiaqing's assassination, her mind suddenly buzzed.

Her feet swayed and she almost fainted, but fortunately Qing Jin and Qing Dai helped her in time.

"Niangniang! Niangniang!"

Si Ning was helped to the couch, pinched the tiger's mouth, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at the messenger in front of her, and said coldly: "How is the emperor? What's the big brother!"

The man trembled in fright, and hurriedly said: "The man didn't come to the emperor at all, the elder brother, Prince Ding and Gu Lun's concubine Lavandorji stopped the man, and the elder brother even took the thief Captured it with my own hands, without any injuries."

Only then did Si Ning breathe a sigh of relief, she only felt that her palms were covered with cold sweat.

The people in Si Ning's room were also full of joy, and hurriedly congratulated Si Ning.

How could Si Ning care about this, and asked the man again: "Who the hell is so bold?"

The person who sent the message was also a little puzzled, and said softly: "Well, this servant can't tell for sure. He looks like a street rogue with a short knife in his hand. He looks quite bluffing, but he doesn't have much kung fu on him. Relying on great strength, rush forward."

Si Ning was terrified when he heard that, the man had a knife, and Mian Yi served in front of Jiaqing, but he didn't have a weapon, how did he capture him?

"Don't lie to me, big brother is really all right?"

The eyes of the person who sent the message flickered, Si Ning raised his heart again, and said angrily: "It's not too late to be honest!"

The man lay on the ground with a mournful face: "The servant dare not hide the truth from the empress. Elder brother was scratched on the arm, but the wound was not deep, so elder brother did not let the slave tell the empress, for fear that the empress would be worried."

When Si Ning heard this, tears came down, and Mian Yi was injured.

"Then how is he now?" Si Ning asked with tears.

The man didn't dare to hide anymore, and reported: "Now I have seen the imperial doctor, bandaged the wound, and rested in the palace. The imperial doctor said that everything is fine, and it will be fine after two or three days. The emperor also feels very sorry for the elder brother. Let the imperial doctor who treated the emperor personally see the elder brother's injury, and let the elder brother stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Si Ning didn't listen to the latter at all, and she didn't care about it, all she cared about now was Mian Yi's situation.

"That's good, that's good." She said a few times, and her heart eased a little, as long as Mian Yi is fine, that's good.

After speaking, she asked Qingdai to go to the library to get some medicinal materials and supplements, and bring them back to the messenger.

"Brother is recuperating for the past few days, you must take good care of him. If you feel unwell, you should go to the imperial doctor. Don't let him bear it." Si Ning is also afraid that if he is not careful, he will develop tetanus, which can be fatal.

The person who sent the message felt dizzy looking at the things in front of him, but he didn't dare to refute after all, so he obediently complied.

Si Ning was still uneasy, and wished she could go back to the palace to take care of Mianyi, but she also understood that this was impossible, after thinking about it, she sent Qing Jin over there, fearing that those people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation would not serve Mianyi well and neglect Mianyi.

Early the next morning, the messenger returned to the Forbidden City with a cart full of things, as well as the Qingjin in front of the imperial concubine.

Si Ning sent Qing Jin away, turned around and blocked the news, now that the emperor is not here, and there are two pregnant women in Mian Yi courtyard, it is better not to spread such news, otherwise if something happens, then The gain outweighs the loss.

But even so, Sining is still restless, and has been looking forward to the early return of Jiaqing and Mianyi.

But now Jiaqing was furious, and this was the first time that the Qing emperor encountered such an aboveboard assassination case, which severely affected and threatened his dignity and life safety.

This made Jiaqing restless. He felt that someone must be instigating here, and this matter must not be simple, so he ordered the minister of military aircraft and the Ministry of punishment to jointly interrogate the person who assassinated the emperor.

The name of this person is Chen De, he is a low-class person in the capital. My family was poor and my fate was miserable, so I had evil thoughts and went to extremes.

Trials come and go, that's all. It's nothing more than the people at the bottom are dissatisfied with their poor life, so they have the idea of ​​unfair fate, and start to hate people in the upper class. It just so happens that the emperor is the top of the upper class. I don't hate you. ?

In the end, the torture was also carried out, and all the outrageous things such as Tuomeng were recruited, but the mastermind behind the scenes was not confessed.

Jiaqing was very dissatisfied, but in the end he had to quickly judge the case. On February 24th, he was assassinated. On February [-]th, Emperor Jiaqing executed Chen Delingchi, and even his two children were hanged.

On February 26, Jiaqing led the princes and ministers back to the Old Summer Palace from the Forbidden City with an evil spirit all over his body.

Si Ning Wang's neck was about to break, and finally he got to Mian Yi.
