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

Concubine Ru slept for a whole day, and did not wake up until the next day, but as soon as she woke up, someone brought Jiu Gongzhu in.

Although she is a princess, it deviates from her original idea, but after all, she is still her own child. Of course Rufei likes it.

Rufei's court lady, Lan Xin, was a little hesitant. Of course, Rufei immediately sensed what was wrong with her, and immediately said sharply, "What's going on? But the Ninth Princess has nothing wrong with it?"

Lan Xin knew that this matter could not be concealed, so she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine Ru: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor checked the pulse of the princess when she was born, and said that the princess has been in the mother's womb for too long, and she is a little injured. body."

When Rufei heard this, she almost fainted, and her hands were shaking with anger: "How could this be, how could it be like this!"

This time, she almost made her surroundings seem like iron, and she was cautious everywhere, just for fear of something going wrong, but she didn't expect this to be the end result.

She was so angry that she could hardly breathe.

Seeing Lan Xin, she hurriedly stepped forward to give Concubine Ru comfort.

But Concubine Ru shook off Lan Xin's hand and said angrily, "Hurry up and bring the princess to me!"

Lian Xin didn't dare to resist, kowtowed hurriedly, and backed out.

But Rufei was still a little upset sitting on the couch.

Why is there so many ups and downs in her life, two children in a row like this, sometimes she has to wonder if it's because God doesn't see her well.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ru bit her lips, no matter what, she must protect this child and raise her well.

……

Si Ning didn't know about these twists and turns, but heard that Concubine Ru had given birth to a daughter, so she followed the queen to send a congratulatory gift to Concubine Ru's palace, so she lifted her hands.

Now that her children and grandchildren are around her knees, she no longer pays much attention to many things in the harem.

After the first month came out, the New Year's atmosphere in the palace gradually faded, and the recent situation of the Ninth Princess also faintly spread to Si Ning's ears.

Si Ning felt a little bit emotional after hearing this, the medical conditions in this era are really unfriendly to infants and young children, there are many children who died young in the Qing palace, I hope the nine princesses will get better and better.

It's only been a few days since Si Ning finished sighing.

Another bad news came from Concubine Zhuang.

Her body is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it's not good.

When Si Ning heard this, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart also fell to the ground. After thinking about it, she finally went to see Concubine Zhuang again.

Concubine Zhuang didn't have the strength to sit and see people this time, she was lying on the couch, her breathing was short, her complexion was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and it seemed very difficult to say a few words.

Si Ning only took one look at her, and knew that something was really wrong, she sighed, but didn't know what to say for a while.

On the contrary, Concubine Zhuang smiled at her and said with difficulty: "Thank you, Madam, for coming to see me."

Seeing her like this, Si Ning couldn't help feeling pity in her heart, and sighed, "Don't think too much, take your medicine well."

Concubine Zhuang smiled: "Your Majesty, you don't need to comfort me. I know my body and what my body looks like."

After speaking, there was another gasp.

Si Ning hurriedly shook his head: "Don't say such things, there will always be a way."

Even though he said so, Si Ning didn't have any idea in his heart, it was just a word of comfort.

Concubine Zhuang was obedient, so she didn't even say this, she just asked with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Ru gave birth to a daughter, can you go and see?"

Si Ning forced a smile: "I went to see it, that child is very distressing. When you recover, go and see it too."

It is true that Si Ning went there once when she was in the third bath, but the child only took a look and didn't see anything clearly, but since Concubine Zhuang asked, Si Ning must of course say the best.

Concubine Zhuang also showed a slight smile when she heard this, and said softly: "That's good, I'm not in good health, and I will inevitably bring bad luck to go to see it. That child is born in the royal family, and he is also a blessed person. It will be smooth and smooth."

Si Ning didn't take the words well, and only said softly: "You are also a blessed person, if you can get through this test, you will get better in the future."

Concubine Zhuang smiled, but didn't answer.

Si Ning sighed, she could see that Concubine Zhuang probably had a death wish long ago, she didn't have much desire to survive at all, so it would be useless to talk about it.

Concubine Zhuang may have sensed Sining's annoyance, and told her a lot of interesting things about her in the past, and she could vaguely see her lively appearance in the past, but the appearance of panting broke this fantasy, making people feel uncomfortable. Clearly aware that this is a person whose life is not long.

Seeing that it was getting late, Si Ning couldn't make Concubine Zhuang talk like this all the time, so she could only say goodbye.

Concubine Zhuang nodded, and then said softly: "I can't get up to see you off, and please don't mind, I have talked so much with you today, I am very happy."

Si Ning could see that what she said was sincere, and she couldn't express what it felt like, so she just nodded in the end: "It's good to be happy, as long as you take good care of your illness, there will be happier days in the future."

Concubine Zhuang still didn't answer.

Si Ning sighed, turned and left the room.

When she came out, she saw the maid in front of Concubine Zhuang who was leaning against the wall and weeping. Seeing Si Ning coming out, she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and saluted Si Ning.

Seeing her like this, Si Ning also sighed, and said softly: "Don't feel bad, take good care of Concubine Zhuang, if you have time on weekdays, you can untie her."

The maid respectfully responded, but her face was still sad.

Si Ning knew that this could not be explained in one or two sentences, so she didn't say any more, turned around and walked out of Concubine Zhuang's residence.

This way to the Changchun Immortal Hall, Si Ning felt a little heavy in her heart. Although she said those comforting words just now, she vaguely felt that Zhuang Concubine could listen to very few, and she was afraid that she would really die It won't be long.

Si Ning's idea was indeed correct, on February [-]th, before the full moon of the Ninth Princess, Concubine Zhuang passed away in her own residence.

On the day when the news came out, Si Ning, the Empress and Concubine Ru all went to see it.

Concubine Xin's eyes were red from crying, and the queen also shed a lot of tears, looking very sad.

Thinking of the two conversations they had with Concubine Zhuang before her death, Si Ning also felt uncomfortable and shed a lot of tears.

Concubine Ru, on the other hand, was not very familiar with Concubine Zhuang, and she still felt that it was a bad day for Concubine Zhuang not to have this day, and she was afraid that it would affect the Ninth Princess's full moon ceremony, so she kept her face indifferent.

It wasn't until Jiaqing paid more attention to it that she came over to pay the memorial service twice, that she showed a bit of sadness.

On February 21, Concubine Zhuang's golden coffin was moved to Tiancun Funeral Palace for placement. It is said that she will not enter the concubine's garden until March [-]th.

Thinking about this time, Si Ning always felt that Concubine Zhuang's stay in the garden was a bit short. Back then, Concubine Hua stayed for a full twenty days before moving the golden coffin.

But looking at Jiaqing's mourning appearance, Sining felt that it should be nothing.

Anyway, no matter what Si Ning thinks, since the emperor has decided so, then this matter should be done.

Concubine Zhuang's funeral began to be carried out according to the rules, and the full moon banquet of the nine princesses interspersed during the period was indeed as concubine Ru guessed, and it was not able to be grand. On the one hand, Concubine Zhuang was an elder anyway, and her bones were not yet cold. Well, it's really not good to hold a full moon ceremony for Princess Jiu.

On the other hand, because of the death of Concubine Zhuang, the queen was overly mourned and fell ill.

This incident surprised Sining a bit. The queen and Concubine Zhuang were indeed on good terms at first, and the two were almost inseparable. drifted away.

Concubine Zhuang was seriously ill this time, and the queen hadn't been there a few times, and once, because Concubine Zhuang had taken a break, the queen was turned away.

Si Ning originally thought that Concubine Zhuang would be so disrespectful, that the Empress' friendship with Concubine Zhuang would be exhausted, and that she might feel that she didn't know how to flatter her, but she really didn't expect that the Empress fell ill.

According to the rules, Si Ning visited the queen once.

Seeing her pale face and weak tone of voice, Si Ning knew that this should be true, but Si Ning didn't ask any further questions, and politely greeted the Queen's body a few times before returning to her own palace.

The queen didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, she stayed on the sick bed for several days before getting better.

Originally, Si Ning thought that this matter would be over like this, but unexpectedly, on the day of Concubine Zhuang's burial, the Empress suddenly asked Jiaqing to go to Concubine Zhuang's funeral, and strangely, Jiaqing also agreed.

It's so strange to think that the empress of a country is burying her concubine.

Si Ning felt that there must be something going on here, but she was also keenly aware that it was not something she should be involved in, so she kept silent all the time.

Concubine Xun came to Si Ning to say a few words about this matter: "The empress has changed her sex, why would she suddenly want to send Concubine Zhuang to her burial, and why the emperor would agree to this matter, I really don't understand .”

Si Ning smiled and said, "Don't think about it if you don't understand it. It's rare to be confused about things in this world."

Concubine Xun listened and smiled: "Your Majesty is right."

……

At this time in Qingyan, Jiuzhou, Jiaqing listened to the report from the people below, with a calm expression: "The queen has already left?"

"Yes." E Luo Li lowered his head and replied.

Jiaqing sneered: "I really didn't expect her to have such a stomach. Now she really doesn't pay attention to me, and she is starting to be unscrupulous. Looking at me, I really don't know about her things."

Eroli didn't dare to say a word.

Jiaqing still looked calm, just nodded: "Okay, let's go down, the queen's side, you still have to keep an eye on it."

E Luoli responded, and then bowed and retreated.

After he got out of Jiuzhou Qingyan's door, he subconsciously wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said with emotion in his heart, I'm afraid the empress didn't expect that the emperor would directly agree, right? Will the empress regret it in her heart?

……

The queen did not regret it, she sat in the car and went all the way to the concubine's bed in Changling, thinking that Concubine Zhuang didn't even want to see her face before she died, she felt a little uncomfortable.

When Concubine Zhuang first entered the palace, the relationship between them was really good. She liked that she was lively and cheerful, and Concubine Zhuang was willing to tell her things about herself and relied on her very much.

But as we get along slowly, some of my schemes will inevitably be exposed to her eyes, and sometimes even use her to achieve some goals.

Concubine Zhuang is a very pure person, she can't stand this, so she will always get angry with her, but in the end the relationship between the two of them completely broke down, because of the incident about the imperial concubine in the Mulan paddock.

She had no choice but to act, Concubine Zhuang saw her tricks behind this, so she completely despaired of her, and began to gradually alienate her.

At the beginning, she didn't think there was anything wrong, since Concubine Zhuang didn't want to help her anyway, so let's just alienate her. When Mian Kai ascended to the throne in the future, she still had time to repair her relationship with her, but she really didn't expect it.

She was only in her early thirties, so she just disappeared.

This is something I never dreamed of.

The queen couldn't help crying again.

This request to bury Concubine Zhuang was her impulsive request, but when the emperor agreed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it was embarrassing and incomprehensible, since I could send her off again, let's just do it this time.

……

During the few days when the queen went to bury Concubine Zhuang, there was a weird atmosphere in the harem. Concubine Ru was a little happy, thinking that the emperor didn't like the queen and deliberately humiliated her.

Si Ning felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to delve into it.

As for the others, most of them are thinking of the concubine Ru, so everyone has other evaluations about the queen's position in the emperor's heart.

When Mianning heard about this outside the palace, she was also a little bit aggrieved. The Queen Mother is a queen, how could she give a funeral to a concubine? Was Huang Ama trying to make the Queen Mother ashamed?

But even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word, he was still Jiaqing's good son.

Previously, Jiaqing had attached great importance to Mianyi, which made Mianning feel a sense of crisis in his heart. Since he got out of the disappointment, he also began to try his best to express himself in front of Jiaqing.

Not only did he work hard to complete the book, and strive to perfectly complete the errand assigned to him by Jiaqing, but he also began to personally teach his four-year-old son Yiwei.

He would teach him how to read and write every day. He wanted to make his son more outstanding, so that he could earn some face in front of Jiaqing. After all, the eldest brother's son Yixuan was also smart, and he was afraid that he would lose to his son again. elder brother.

However, Yiwei obviously disappointed Mianning. He is only a four-year-old child. He can't even sit still, let alone read and write. How can he withstand such a strong input, so he can't hold it in a few days. Right, it started to heat up.

This time Mianning was terrified. There was only such a baby bump in his whole house, and he was so sick. Now that the death rate of infants and young children is so high, he was also a little frightened. At the same time, he couldn't help but look down on this son in his heart. .

These things are so unbearable, it seems that they are impossible to achieve.

Thinking this way in her heart, Mianning didn't show anything on the surface, she just let the imperial doctor work hard to treat the child, and she didn't pay as much attention to Yiwei's education as before, instead she began to go to other concubines more.

If the child is not good enough, there will be another one.

……

Si Ning still listened to what Da Fujin had said about the twists and turns in the second elder brother's house, but after hearing it, he gave Niu Hulu and Zhang Jia a few words.

"In the future, we can't push the seedlings like this. You need to know that everything in this matter has to be done step by step. The education of children is the same, and people in this world are intelligent and ordinary. What are the factors to push, as long as the child can do well, it is better than anything."

Niu Hulu nodded with a smile: "Emiang's insight is so insightful, I've remembered it."

Zhang Jia also nodded seriously: "I understand."

Si Ning looked at the two daughters-in-law and sighed inwardly, hoping that they would really understand that most women of this age rely on their sons for the rest of their lives, so it is inevitable that they will be harsh on their children, but doing so is not enough. It's just hurting yourself.

……

The empress returned to the palace after Concubine Zhuang was buried on March [-]th.

She went out this time, as if she had fulfilled a wish, and she felt much more relaxed.

As a result, when he came back and heard about the second elder brother's house, he couldn't help but sneer: "Let him go, he will regret it later."

Thinking in this way, the queen asked about Si elder brother's movements in recent days. Hearing that he was indeed more stable than before, he had been studying in the study, and nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that getting married is really different from before, and Sifujin is really as capable as he thought, and it is really not easy to restrain this horse without a leader.

The queen thought for a while, and asked Calamus to get some things from her private treasury, and gave them to Si Fujin, and asked Calamus to send a message to Si Fujin: "Tell her, I am really relieved that she can persuade the fourth elder brother, but it is just a matter of time." You should take good care of your body, and take care of your heirs."

Calamus responded, turned around and went down to do some errands.

The queen looked at Liu Xu on one side again, and said: "Second elder brother should continue to watch over there, especially Er Fujin, we can't let her disappear. If she is gone, the emperor appointed second elder brother to find another one." Lady, this is a great disadvantage to us."

Liu Xu hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "The matter of life and death, I'm afraid human beings can't do it."

The queen was a little annoyed: "I didn't bring you back to life, I just tried my best. Nothing in this world can be perfect."

Liu Xu was startled, didn't dare to say anything more, hurriedly responded, turned around and went down.

Sitting in the room, the queen felt a little empty for no reason. After a long time, she sighed. She only hoped that her plan would pay off.

……

Si Fujin was doing needlework in the house at this time, when he heard someone outside said that someone was coming from the Queen's Palace, he didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed out to welcome him.

Seeing that it was Calamus, Si Fujin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that there might be a spat of tongue-in-cheek today.

But she didn't show anything on her face, and welcomed the calamus in with a smile.

At this time, Chang Pu was respectful to Si Fujin, and she could tell that the queen still valued Si Fujin very much.

Therefore, even if she was welcomed in by Si Fujin in person, she was still obedient, honestly told the queen's words, and took out the queen's reward.

Hearing these words, Si Fujin's heart sank a long time ago, but he still showed respect on his face, accepted the things with a smile, and said gratefully: "The queen's mother is so generous, I really can't repay her."

Calamus smiled, and chatted with Si Fujin: "The empress thinks highly of Fujin, but there is no need for Fujin to repay anything, as long as Sifujin and Si elder brother are doing well, the empress will be happy if she wants to come."

Si Fujin doesn't believe this at all, she can sense the queen's ambition, but as a junior, and in such an environment, she absolutely can't say anything, she can only coax Si elder brother to study, so that Come to reassure the queen and make my situation better.

However, polite words on the face still have to be said, so Sifujin said with a smile: "I have written down what I said, aunt, please also thank the queen mother for me."

Calamus smiled and nodded, and Si Fujin asked the people below to give Calamus a solid purse, and then sent Calamus out again.

Calamus touched the weight of the purse, and felt very satisfied. That's why Sifujin is so good.Every time I come to Sifujin to deliver things, it's a good business trip, so she doesn't reject it.

After sending the calamus away, Zhuxi, the grand maid in front of Sifujin, said indignantly: "The queen's words are nice, but at the same time, you are required to coax Si elder brother to study hard, and at the same time, you are required to raise your body and give birth to an heir. It is so harsh. , is really inconsiderate.”

Si Fujin frowned after hearing this: "Shut up, the empress is something you can talk about. As the birth mother of the fourth elder brother, the empress naturally hopes that the fourth elder brother is all right. As the fourth elder brother's wife, I am the husband and the godson." How can you be harsh on your duty!"

Zhuxi didn't dare to say more after hearing this, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Sifujin sighed and comforted her softly: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but there are some things you can say and some things you can't, and you should understand that this is in the palace, not any other place. You have to know that walls have ears, and you need to be careful in your words and deeds.”

Zhu Xi nodded: "I remember what you said, Ge Ge, Ah Bu, Fujin, what should we do now?"

Si Fujin considered it for a while, and said lightly: "I can't make the decision alone about the matter of sons and heirs. It also needs the cooperation of the fourth elder brother. It's just that the fourth elder brother is unstable. Of course, we can't use this kind of thing to hinder him. Now we can let him go." He has already spent a lot of effort in studying, and talking about this matter, I am afraid that he will turn his face, so he can only suppress the kindness of the empress first, and wait until I completely win over the fourth elder brother. Of course, that kind of thing will come to fruition.”

After hearing this, Zhuxi knew that Ge Ge would not be at the mercy of the queen, so she was very happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "That's how it should be."

But the bamboo leaf on one side was a little worried: "But if that's the case, how should I talk to the empress?"

Si Fujin smiled: "What's the point of this? You boil the medicine every day. As for who to drink it for, will the empress still stare at me? I am not the only one who has no heirs, not surprising."

Zhuye then nodded: "Ge Ge is thoughtful."

Si Fujin didn't speak, in fact, it was not only because of these, but also because before she entered the palace, Er Niang had told her that giving birth to an heir too early would be bad for her health, so let her think about it after recuperating her body.

For matters such as heirs, one should not only look at the present, but also look at the future.

Si Fujin felt that this was right, so she always followed Er Niang's words. She didn't have the ambition of a queen, she just wanted to manage her own small family well, and it depends on God's will.

……

The queen didn't know that Si Fujin dared to do one thing to her face and another to her back. After hearing Changpu's report, she was very satisfied.

Because in her impression, this daughter-in-law was very obedient to her words, so she only ordered Calamus to send medicine to Sifujin's residence, and said nothing else.

Naturally, Calamus agreed with great joy, and delivered medicine to Sifujin once a month. If he could receive such a generous reward every time, then he would be able to save money when he leaves the palace in the future.
