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

After all, the queen's operation was effective. Within a few days, there was a message from outside the palace that the queen's father, Gong Ala, was ill.

As soon as the queen heard this, she knew that her words had worked, and hurried to ask Jiaqing to send the imperial physician out of the palace to check her Ama's pulse.

Of course, Jiaqing would not refuse this, he still had no objection to Gong Ala, his father-in-law, and he was fairly diligent in being an official, so he was often appointed to him on weekdays.

Hearing the queen's entreaty, he agreed.

The queen didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so she couldn't help but feel happy, but after thinking about her ultimate goal, she tucked the corners of her eyes with a veil, her eye circles turned red instantly, and she said with tears: "Ama gave birth to me I was once, and now I am sick, but I can't serve him in front of him, it is really unfilial."

Jiaqing frowned when he heard this: "Don't you want to go out of the palace to visit?"

As a queen, you should not move lightly. If this is the case, the queen should be clear, and if she really goes out of the palace to visit the sick Gong Ala, others will probably think that Gong Ala is going to die, which is against the rules of etiquette.

The queen also heard the dissatisfaction in Jiaqing's tone, and shook her head hastily: "The concubine dare not, the concubine knows the rules in the palace, how can I embarrass the emperor, the concubine is just thinking, even if the concubine can't take care of my father in person, Mian Kai is grown up now, so he can visit the palace on behalf of his concubines."

Jiaqing frowned again after hearing this.

It is a very taboo thing for the prince to contact courtiers, especially now that Mian Kai has not yet made a decision. If someone distracts him, it may not be good, but the Queen's request is reasonable, and I am not too good at it. Excessive evidence.

After thinking about it carefully, Jiaqing finally said: "Gong Ala is Mian Kai's grandfather after all, it is reasonable to go out to visit the palace, but Mian Kai is still young, I am afraid that something will happen when he goes out of the palace, why not let Li Dongbao accompany him?" Follow him out of the palace."

The queen gritted her teeth in her heart, the emperor still didn't trust her inside and out of what she said!

But so what if she doesn't trust her anymore, the current situation is like this, and this is the best result she can strive for.

Thinking about returning home, Li Dongbao has his own family to arrange, so the queen stopped thinking about it and nodded: "The emperor is very considerate, as it should be."

Seeing that she agreed, Jiaqing's expression softened a little, and he nodded lightly: "If that's the case, then you should go back first."

Unexpectedly, she didn't say a single unnecessary word to her. The queen felt extremely uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to do anything more, so she could only grit her teeth and leave.

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the aggrieved air in the queen's heart dissipated a little. She sat on the shoulder chair, looked at the square sky of the Forbidden City, and felt extremely complicated.

……

Within a few days, the news that the fourth elder brother led the imperial physician home to visit Cheng Enhou on behalf of the empress spread throughout the palace.

On the one hand, everyone thought that the queen was still a bit decent, and on the other hand, they wondered whether this matter would affect other things.

When Si Ning heard the news, he just froze for a moment and didn't respond anymore.

She knew that Jiaqing was a decent person, and Gong Ala, as the queen's father, if he didn't even give this respect, it would be equivalent to making the conflict between the empress and empress public, which was not what Jiaqing wanted to see.

So what is said about the empress becoming favored again? According to Si Ning's understanding of Jiaqing, the chance of this is really very small.

On the day the fourth elder brother set out, he himself was very happy. Although there were Li Dongbao in front of him, and Liu Xu, the two door gods in front of the queen, he was also very happy. He finally got out of the palace, and he also wanted to see the outside world.

Originally, the fourth elder brother wanted to ride out of the palace on horseback, but was stopped by the queen. She persuaded Miankai earnestly: "My dear boy, you are going out this time to visit your grandfather, so you should sit in a sedan chair for what it looks like on a horse." , Er Niang is ready for you."

Mian Kai was a little discouraged, after all he couldn't beat the empress stubbornly, so he could only make a sedan chair, but thinking about going out of the palace to see the outside world, he became happy again.

Mian Kai left after breakfast, the queen waited anxiously in the palace for a long time, and did not come back until noon after lunch.

But when he came back, he looked a little sluggish.

The Queen's heart moved, she hastily pulled Mian Kai to the front, sent everyone out of the room, leaving only Liu Xu by her side.

Calamus glanced at Liu Xu somewhat unconvinced, but didn't dare to say anything, and went outside to guard the gate.

"How about going back today?" The queen asked the two impatiently.

Mian Kai sat on the chair and didn't speak, Liu Xu could only answer for him: "It went well. As soon as I got back to the mansion, the slave accompanied Elder Brother to visit the old man's house. Eunuch Yuan Bao was restrained by the old man at home. Unable to keep up, the master and elder brother chatted in the room for a long time before coming out, and then the wife left elder brother for lunch, and then turned around."

Hearing that things went so smoothly, the empress was relieved, but seeing her son's appearance, the empress hated iron for being weak, and said angrily, "Who are you showing me this appearance? Your Guo Luoma Fadu What did I tell you?"

Mian Kai glanced at Liu Xu, Liu Xu was startled, and hastily bowed to leave.

The queen thought that it was not easy for Liu Xu to know about this matter, so she waved her hand and let her go down.

When Liu Xu went out, the queen said again: "Okay, people are out, just say what you have to say."

Although such words were spoken, the queen was still a little happy in her heart, this kid actually knew how to cover up the mystery.

"Guo Luomafa didn't say anything, he just told me to study hard and don't compete with my brothers for anything. I can't compare to them, so it's better to be rich and happy."

When Mian Kai said this, his eyes were red.

He didn't have any intention of fighting, but he just felt that even Guo Luomafa felt that he was inferior to his two brothers, so he felt wronged and ashamed.

This is my own pro-Guo Luo Mafa, if he says that, then he is really bad.

When the queen heard this, her entire face turned pale.

Her whole body seemed to be frozen, sitting there motionless.

Never expected, never expected, that Ama would say that.

He gave up on himself.

This is the only thought on the Queen's mind now.

She clenched the veil tightly, and looked at Mian Kai: "Did you really say that, Guo Luomafa? Did he say anything else!"

Mian Kai was frightened by the queen's appearance at this time, and was stunned for a long time, before he stammered: "He, she told me to be filial to my mother, filial to Huang Ama, even if the others fail, I must take care of him." Live a word of filial piety, so that there is a place to live, he asked me to persuade Er Niang not to be too attached to some things, sometimes it is not good to be too attached, and I have forgotten the other things..."

Mian Kai almost burst into tears when the queen watched.

Listening to these words at this time, the queen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Ama still didn't give up on her, at least she gave some pointers on how Miankai should behave in the future, but in the first sentence, it was obvious that Ama still didn't like Miankai very much.

The queen was very anxious, if Ama could say such a thing, I am afraid that Niu Hulu's family would have already reached a conclusion that they would not help Miankai out of the fire.

Thinking of this, the queen felt a little bitter. Now that they have a daughter married to the elder brother, how could they pay more attention to their mother and child?

The more the queen thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, but there was a ruthlessness in her heart for no reason. The less others liked her, the more she wanted to do something.

Now that Mian Kai is still young, she can't touch some things, but she can't give up, and she has to teach Mian Kai well. What Ama said is that if Mian Kai can't study well, then use the word filial piety. Anyway, if you are an emperor, you don't have to. Learning rich five cars.

And Mian Kai also has an advantage, although he is younger than the two elder brothers, he can cultivate his power as soon as possible, but he is also gentle and harmless. The elder brother should look pleasing to the eye, and then it will be the time for their mother and son to start.

Thinking of this, the Empress felt relieved, she had lost her mind before, but now she can't be in a hurry, she has to be steady, her only hope now is Mian Kai, even if Mian Kai can't get things done in the future, she can't leave anything behind.

The way out that Ama pointed out to her is very good, filial piety, coupled with benevolence, presumably can also change the emperor's view of Mian Kai, even if Mian Yi becomes a thing in the future, a filial and benevolent Brother, he is not easy to deal with, so that their mother and son can remain invincible.

The queen let out a sigh of relief, and her expression was much better than before.

Mian Kai who was sitting by the side saw the change in Er Niang's face, and felt a little uneasy, now that she was no longer as crazy and ferocious as before, he felt relieved, and he tentatively said: "Er Niang, don't feel bad. , I will work hard to study hard to give you confidence."

Hearing this, the Empress felt sour and nearly shed tears. She got up, walked to Mian Kai, touched her son's head, and said softly: "My good boy, Mian Kai is no worse than others, and my mother thought We all know that what you Guo Luomafa said is not pleasant, but some words are also reasonable. In the future, you should be filial to your emperor Ama, respect your brothers, and learn the way of filial piety. In this way, we will not compare with others Difference."

Upon hearing this, Mian Kai looked at the queen with some joy, "Is that really the case?"

The queen nodded, holding back her tears, but she couldn't help but blame Ama in her heart, why she spoke so bluntly, and how it hurt the child.

Mian Kai didn't know the queen's thoughts, but felt that the queen's mother had suddenly become much gentler, but he liked this change very much, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Guo Luomafa seemed to be confused, he clearly There are also many benefits, even Er Niang said so, when he is ennobled and built a mansion in the future, sooner or later he will look good to him!

The queen didn't know about Mian Kai's little thoughts, so she comforted Mian Kai gently, kept him for dinner, and then sent him to elder brother's place.

Seeing her son leave, the empress made up her mind that even if she could not support Mian Kai to succeed in the future, she would never allow him to suffer any grievances.

……

No one knows the situation in the queen's palace, but Si Ning can feel that since the fourth elder brother went out of the palace once, the queen has completely calmed down. She is not as concerned about the palace affairs in the palace as before. The things in the house are no longer so concerned.

Instead, he began to urge the fourth elder brother to read and practice calligraphy carefully. In the past, he could see the fourth elder brother having fun everywhere, but now he can't see it anymore.

Lian Mianyi said that the fourth brother now knows how to be polite, and he is very respectful when seeing his elder brothers, and he often goes to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to pay his respects.

Si Ning roughly figured it out in her heart, the queen is making progress by retreating, and began to look at a longer-term perspective.

However, Si Ning was the only one who noticed this change, the empress did it very quietly, people in the palace only thought that the fourth elder brother was sensible, even Jiaqing thought so, but no one knew that it was the empress's credit.

From this point of view, the queen can be said to be very successful, but Si Ning feels that human nature is hard to suppress. It is good for the queen to teach the fourth elder brother to be gentle, courteous and thrifty. It has been years, but it may not be able to bear it all the time.

Let's see what happens in the future, Si Ning breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, she can't decide what the future of the fourth elder brother will be, it depends on the queen's ability.

……

Si Ning has also started to live in the elderly, teasing her grandchildren every day, chatting with familiar people, and having a good time.

At the end of the year, Jiaqing told Si Ning that he had already decided on the marriage of the fifth princess and would announce it next year. At the same time, he would seal off the harem.

As for the reason, because next year is his 50th birthday, he must celebrate it.

After Si Ning heard the news, her heart turned. She didn't care much about sealing the harem, because as expected, she had already sealed it, unless the queen was gone, and the emperor asked her to take pictures. In Liugong, maybe he can still be a royal concubine, or if she is gone, maybe he can be a royal concubine.

She was more concerned about the fifth princess's marriage, which Concubine Xun had already talked about in front of her several times, and now that the fifth princess was eighteen, Concubine Xun was also worried.

But Si Ning felt that eighteen was a little too young, so she kept persuading Concubine Xun not to worry, and now finally, Jiaqing has come to a conclusion.

Si Ning thought about it, and tentatively asked about the family of the fifth princess.

Jiaqing said it without any hesitation, he was still Fumeng, and he didn't mean to cheat his daughter. The person he chose was also a Baylor from Horqin Mongolia. People heard that he was tall and upright, and he was also very capable. Now he is serving as the imperial guard. Errands.

Si Ning thought it was pretty good, so he turned a corner and patted a few words of flattery, Jiaqing was very happy to hear that.

The next morning, after Si Ning finished inviting Ann, he invited Concubine Xun to his palace, and secretly told her about it.

Concubine Xun was so excited when she heard this, she thanked Si Ning for telling her, and Si Ning smiled and said: "You don't have to thank me, I don't have much time to get close to the fifth princess when I go back." Speaking of this, A trace of sadness flashed across Si Ning's face.

When Concubine Xun heard this, her previous excitement was also a little less, she showed a look of reluctance, and said in a deep voice: "She has been with me for so many years, but she still can't keep her, the child will always leave when she grows up, Whether it's today or tomorrow, I just hope that she will be well in the future."

Si Ning chuckled, Concubine Xun's words are good, even in modern times, after getting married and starting a business, the connection with the family will gradually fade away, not to mention marrying daughters in ancient times, now people pay attention to married daughters splashed water.

But Si Ning does not agree with this point, her Wulin Zhu will always be her little treasure.

……

After Concubine Xun got the news, she didn't bother to stay in Sining Palace to talk, and she left happily.

Seeing her like this, Sining missed Wulinzhu a little, and asked Qingjin how Wulinzhu was doing, Qingjin told him that Wulinzhu was doing well recently, and heard that he bought a village with a hot spring in the suburbs of Beijing, and it was a winter day. When I was there, I would spend more time there.

Si Ning also thought it was good, and immediately asked Qing Jin to pick up some things that the hot spring village could use, and gave them away.

……

Jiaqing had the idea of ​​sealing the Six Palaces, so of course he couldn't hide it from the people in the harem. After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make court clothes, so it will definitely not be done quietly.

Although Si Ning doesn't pay attention to this, other people in the harem will not. This is related to their future status and treatment. Who can refuse a promotion and salary increase?

So these people ran to the Queen and Si Ning three times a day in order to inquire about the news.

The empress was silent at all, but Si Ning simply refused the visit of these people because she was unwell.

Both of them were able to handle it well, and the others had nothing to do but suppress their uneasiness and anxiously waited for the emperor's 50th birthday in the next year.

Because of this anxiety, she didn't pay much attention to this year. When Si Ning went to the theater, there were people who approached her to ask for news.

But Si Ning really didn't know much, because she didn't ask Jiaqing about this at all, so they couldn't get anything out of the routine.

Eventually everyone realized this, and many people died down.

After the new year is over, Si Ning's ears are finally clean.

But this day when Mian Yi came to pay her respects, she mentioned this matter again.

"Emiang, the matter of Huang Ama's longevity award this year, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Si Ning was drinking tea, she couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, she looked at Mian Yi: "Do you have any news?"

Mian Yi nodded: "Didn't my son tell you before that one of my disciples was arranged by Huang Ama to enter the House of Internal Affairs?"

Si Ning frowned and quickly remembered.

"He sent me the news that the House of Internal Affairs not only made the court clothes of the empresses in the harem, but also made the court clothes of the two princes. As for the titles, he didn't inquire about them."

Si Ning's expression tightened, if Jiaqing were to knight his sons!

Si Ning looked at Mian Yi with a nervous expression: "What do you think?"

Mian Yi is still more cautious: "No matter what the title is, it is a reward from Huang Ama. Naturally, I should thank the emperor for his kindness, and I dare not be dissatisfied."

Si Ning frowned, and said after a long time: "It's good for you to think so. You can't just look at the short-term in everything, but look at the long-term. Your Huang Ama still values ​​you more in her heart."

Mian Yi smiled: "Emiang, don't worry, Huang Ama won't wrong me, at most, he will give me and my second brother the same title, let us two fight in the ring, besides, I'm afraid Huang Ama won't do it either. Too harsh."

Si Ning nodded. Jiaqing is a very affectionate person, among other things. He has cultivated Mian Yi for so many years, and he will never change his mind and abandon him suddenly. When she woke up, she didn't mean to suppress Mianyi, so she didn't have to worry too much.

"What you said is very true, but if you have a title, your Empress Ama doesn't know if she will let you go out of the palace to build a mansion. If you don't let you out of the palace, I think it's because you value you, and you have to be stable. Just do it." Si Ning urged.

Mian Yi smiled: "Don't worry, Er Niang, I naturally understand the truth."

After the mother and son agreed, Mian Yi left in a hurry. Si Ning couldn't help sighing in her heart as she watched her son leave. I don't know, what will be the future of their mother and son?

……

Si Ning got the news, and the Queen also got the news. She was a little nervous when she heard it, but then she was relieved and even smiled.

The emperor's conferment this time, if there is no distinction between high and low, it's all right, but if there is any balance, I'm afraid that there will be injustice between the two elder brothers, isn't this what she wants to see?

Moreover, such things as knighthood cannot be avoided. Her Mian Kai is still too young, so she missed the opportunity, but it is okay. I don’t know that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman’s profit, so let the eldest brother and the second elder brother first Let's be proud for a while!

Later, because of the queen's secret promotion, the news gradually spread.

For a while, it was more eye-catching than the previous matter of sealing the Sixth Palace, and even the previous dynasty began to pay attention.

Mianning's heart was a little uneasy, but Mianyi was quite stable, and her face was still the same as usual.

After Jiaqing found out that the news had leaked, he was not very angry. He also knew that it would not last long to hide it, but he could take this opportunity to examine the mentality of his sons when facing this incident.

Of course, Mian Yi's performance made him very satisfied, while Mian Ning, although occasionally agitated, was harmless. The remaining two sons, Mian Kai was not sensible and didn't think about it at all, and Mian Chen didn't seem to care too much. I care, I just sing the wind and play the moon every day.

Jiaqing was very satisfied with the result. The sons are all good. If they can be like this in the future, it will be the luck of the family and the country.

Time passed day by day, and in April, Jiaqing hosted the initial appointment ceremony for the fifth princess and conferred her the title of Princess Hui'an Heshuo.

Concubine Xun was very excited that day, crying and laughing at the same time. The wedding date was set in July, which was a good day that Qin Tianjian had planned.

At the same time, Jiaqing also revealed the news to Sining, and the fifth princess will follow the example of her two sisters and stay in Beijing.

After hearing this, Concubine Xun felt grateful again. Although she knew that her daughter would not come back many times after she got married, she also wanted her daughter to be closer to her.

Concubine Xun started to prepare the princess's dowry bustlingly, and it is rare to come to Sining, but Sining is not lonely, a few grandchildren will make her trouble, but she is also enjoying it, and she was a little bit disappointed before. , it has almost dissipated at this time.

Maybe it's because he's going to be knighted, Mianyi's place is getting more and more busy, and he hasn't seen anyone for a few days, but every time he brings some news to make Sining feel at ease.

Si Ning looked at his busy appearance, although she couldn't bear it in her heart, she would not bother him and hinder him, but told him over and over again to eat well and sleep well. delusional.

Mian Yi is also obedient, he accepts all the things Si Ning sends to mend his body, and obediently obeys Si Ning's wishes, asks for peace of mind at regular intervals, riding and shooting has not failed, he is still very talented in this area Yes, the body is also very strong.

In July, Concubine Xun married her daughter, and the entire Forbidden City became lively. On the day of the wedding, several princesses also came back to give their younger sisters a wedding.

At the beginning, Concubine Xun was very happy. The greeting people who came in and out were wearing a newly made flag dress, looking at her radiant face, as if she was a few years younger.

But when it was the auspicious time to get on the sedan chair, Concubine Xun was so crying that she couldn't stand when she saw her daughter who came to bid farewell. Thanks to the support of the fourth princess, she completed the ceremony of seeing off her relatives.

The fifth princess' eyes were also red, but she held back her tears and only held Concubine Xun's hand and said softly, "Emiang, don't worry, I will be fine."

Concubine Xun shed tears and nodded: "What's wrong with you, just come back and tell Er Niang."

The fifth princess finally couldn't hold back her tears, and looked at her mother-in-law, but couldn't say a word.

But no matter how hard it is, she still has to leave when the time comes. Seeing the back of her daughter's sedan chair going away, Concubine Xun cried again, but she was happy in her heart. She only hoped that her daughter would be safe and sound in the future. .
