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

Mianning's actions these past few days are not going well.

In the past, when he got along with Ha Lang'a, if Ha Lang'a didn't say that he was close to him, he could say a few words well.

After all, Ha Lang'a is also considered his brother-in-law, so that's where the relationship lies.

But I don't know when, Haranga started avoiding him.

Not only avoiding him, but even when seeing him, they just talk about the scene, as if he is some kind of scourge.

Thinking of this, Mianning was annoyed, what a slave, really thought that if he avoided himself, he would be safe and sound?

A haze flashed in Mianning's eyes.

The way of the emperor, if you give him some sweetness, you should also teach him a lesson, otherwise you will really ride on your own head.

……

Mian Yi's eyes and ears placed in front of Mian Ning reported the recent situation of Mian Ning. Mian Yi glanced at it briefly, and roughly figured out what Mian Ning was thinking.

Mian Yi couldn't help but chuckled softly, his younger brother is really interesting.

But it's okay, let him toss around a little longer, Huang Ama is focusing too much on himself now, and it's time to divert his attention and look at his second son.

However, in the end, we still have to keep an eye on Mianning, so as not to let him do anything earth-shattering.

Thinking in this way, Mian Yi called Zhang Wanfu in.

"Go to the third master's courtyard to send a message, saying that I have something important to discuss with him."

Zhang Wanfu bowed to accept the order.

Mian Yi looked at the back of Zhang Wanfu leaving with a calm expression. Ha Langa is the first-class bodyguard, he can be regarded as a close minister of the emperor, but it is not that no one can restrain him. The Minister of Internal Affairs has been vacant since Eredenbao's death, but the one with the yellow flag has been there. That person is Sanfujin's natal uncle, Qinggui.

……

Si Ning doesn't know that her two sons are teaming up to target Mian Ning, she is enjoying the family happiness right now.

Sanfujin and Dafujin brought all the children over to pay her respects, and she was happy to see them all.

Now the children of Mianyi's family have grown up, but the children of Mianchen's family are still young. Tana leads Yunrou to look at Fuzhu, who is held in Sining's arms, expectantly. Xiang Sining: "Mamo, can you let me hug my sister too."

Si Ning smiled and shook his head: "That's not okay, you're small and boring, what if you fall your sister?"

Tana curled her lips a little disappointed.

Zhang Jiashi on the side smiled and said: "Although Big Gege can't hug Fuzhu, it's better to help the imperial concubine and empress to coax her younger sister. It's the same if you think about it."

As soon as she said this, Tana's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded hastily.

Seeing her cute look, Si Ning couldn't help laughing, and said softly, "That's fine, Tana will come over and help Mamo coax her."

Only then did Tana come over, lightly poked Fuzhu's chubby cheek with her fingers, and then leaned over to kiss her, Fuzhu couldn't help giggling.

Tana said happily: "My sister is smiling, and she also likes me to kiss her."

For a while, everyone in the room laughed.

After coaxing the child for a while, Sining also felt a little tired, and handed Fuzhu to the nurse on the side, and told her to take Fuzhu and Yixiang to the back room to rest.

Tana and Yun Rou also took Yun Zhen out to play, Si Ning had a few serious words with the two daughters-in-law.

"Are you okay these few days?" Si Ning asked Zhang Jiashi.

Zhang Jiashi smiled: "Everything is fine. After two months of feeding, my son was still fat when he was born."

Niu Hulu smiled and said, "It's good to be fat, but it's troublesome if you lose weight."

Si Ning also nodded with a smile: "In the confinement period, you can only eat and can't move. You will gain weight. After the confinement period, you will walk around a lot, and you will gradually lose weight."

After talking about family matters, Zhang Jia brought up the matter of the second elder brother's house again, which is also a joy now.

"Second sister-in-law was pregnant some time ago, but now it's difficult. She's been feeling sick all the time. The imperial doctor came in and out every day, and she didn't have a good idea. It got better a few days ago. I saw that the whole person lost weight. .”

Si Ning listened and nodded: "Everyone reacts differently during pregnancy, Er Fujin has suffered."

Niu Hulu sat on the side but didn't say a word. She was best with Guerjia before, but now because of Tong Jia's incident, the two of them have less communication.

Zhang Jia didn't know this, and when she heard what Sining said, she also sighed: "Who said it wasn't, my situation is different this time from when I was pregnant with Yunzhen, my second sister-in-law also suffered a crime, some time ago, I also heard that the second elder brother is going to invite the old lady of the Guerjia family to come to the palace to see the second sister-in-law, but now there is no news, I really don’t know if this news is true or not.”

Si Ning changed his expression after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Jiashi: "Who did you hear that from?"

Zhang Jia was a little uneasy when he heard this, and said cautiously: "It's the servant in front of me who heard it from the servant in the second elder brother's courtyard, Madam, but what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhang Jiashi's frightened look, Si Ning smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, just asking casually."

Zhang Jia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Second Elder Brother has always been in a moody mood, maybe he just said it casually, but those slaves really mean it."

Si Ning smiled and said nothing.

But Niu Hulu looked at Zhang Jia thoughtfully.

After a few more gossips, the two daughters-in-law left, Si Ning called Qing Dai to him: "What's the situation in the second elder brother's courtyard?"

Qingdai was not prepared for Sining's question, thought carefully for a while, and then replied: "There is no news for a while, our eyeliner came back to reply a while ago, saying that the second elder brother is very busy at the moment, except to see Fujin , that is, to sit in the houses of a few concubines, without giving any medicine, it seems that they value Fujin's child very much."

Si Ning frowned, and said for a long time: "How about the second elder brother and Fujin's family?"

"I haven't heard of this, but I heard that Er Fujin's family sent something to the palace." Qing Dai replied.

Si Ning was silent for a while, feeling that there was something wrong here, but she couldn't see anything yet.

"Let people keep an eye on it, and you can also have a wider hand. The second elder brother's side is the most important place."

Qing Dai's heart tightened, and she hurriedly responded.

……

Time passed day by day like this, and when August came out, the sky was not as hot as before, but it was still a little stuffy.

Jiaqing went to Mulan, but Si Ning did not go with him, and stayed in Yuanmingyuan.

But Mianyi and Mianchen went together. On Mianyi's side, Niu Hulu went with her, but on Mianchen's side, Zhang Jia couldn't leave behind her two children, so she didn't follow. Mianchen was alone. gone.

Because of this incident, Zhang Jia was a little embarrassed in front of Sining, for fear that Sining would annoy Mian Chen because he didn't arrange someone to serve her.

But Si Ning didn't have this idea at all, she was still very gentle towards Zhang Jiashi, she was not from this era, so naturally she didn't think anything could happen to a woman if her son left for a while.

Looking at Sining's generosity, Zhang Jia felt more and more grateful to Sining in her heart, and felt that it was her luck to meet such a mother-in-law.

……

This trip to Mulan was not as peaceful as usual.

Within a few days, news came from Mulan that the emperor severely reprimanded the second elder brother in front of several important officials.

The reason is that the second elder brother said inappropriate words in front of the emperor.

Si Ning did not find out what Mian Ning had said.

But it's not easy to make Jiaqing so angry.

Mianning was sent back from Mulan that same day, and locked herself in the house as soon as she came back, and didn't come out to see anyone, as if she was trying to hide her embarrassment.

Everyone in the palace pretended not to know, only the empress sent someone to see it, but Mianning still excused herself from feeling unwell and didn't see anyone.

Si Ning could tell that Jiaqing had really annoyed Mian Ning this time, but she still didn't know why, and Mian Yi didn't send any news back.

Thinking about it, Si Ning might not be easy, even Mian Yi didn't dare to take any action.

Thinking about it this way, Si Ning stopped worrying about it and started to live his own life.

……

But Si Ning doesn't worry about this matter, but the queen has to worry about it.

Ever since the second elder brother was reprimanded, the queen tried to find out about it in a different way. When the second elder brother returned to the palace, she also tried every means to find out what happened.

It's a pity that Mianning didn't give her face at all this time, and didn't come to see her at all. The queen was a little annoyed, but she still kept her face. She knew that it would not work to get news from Mianning, and she had to find another way .

After a lot of effort, the queen finally found out the news.

It turned out that Jiaqing summoned some of his sons and ministers that day, and for some reason, he began to ask questions about politics. When he came to Mianning, Jiaqing suddenly asked him some knowledge. It also seemed that he was careless when answering.As a result, Jiaqing scolded him severely, saying that he was not knowledgeable, acted frivolously, had a big heart and big eyes, and had no courage.

Anyway, the scolding was ugly, Mianning knelt on the ground on the spot.

Later, several brothers pleaded for mercy, so Jiaqing absolved Mianning of the crime, drove him out, and asked him to return to Beijing overnight, where he was confined for three months.

When the queen heard the news, she was taken aback.

What is the reason.

Even if he didn't answer the question well, he shouldn't be scolding like this. There must be something else going on here.

The queen frowned, could it be that Mianning acted recklessly again, causing the emperor to fear?

The queen couldn't figure it out, but she was very happy about Mianning's loss this time.

If Mianning broke his halberd, then he could just take advantage of it and win him over.

The queen thought about it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this method, so she didn't think too much about it, and let Liu Xu go there again, but this time she didn't call Mianning to see her, but gave Mianning some medicine and food.

Mianning was restrained by the emperor himself to reflect on himself, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation must not be as good as before, so he still has to care about him.

Liu Xu was a little reluctant to go to the second elder brother's house, the gloomy look in the second elder brother's eyes when he looked at her last time made her a little scared, and now that he was going to go there, Liu Xu couldn't help feeling uneasy.

She turned around and came out of the room, and saw that Ling Lan who had just been brought into the room was directing people to clear the table outside, she changed her expression and said softly: "Ling Lan, Empress Empress has something to send to the second elder brother, you Let's go."

Ling Lan's expression froze, she was unwilling to go to the second elder brother's house, not to mention the rewards, the second elder brother might not have a good face towards the servant, even if she was in front of the empress.

So she smiled and said: "Sister Liu Xu, I still have work here, since it's something my mother entrusted to you, I won't get involved."

Hearing this, Liu Xu was annoyed. The person who had just entered the room to serve her dared to speak like that to her.

But before Liu Xu could say anything, the queen in the room suddenly said, "Ling Lan, come in."

Lily of the Land was overjoyed, she glanced at Liu Xu proudly, then turned and entered the room.

Liu Xu's face became darker and darker, she looked at the curtains in the room with deep eyes, feeling wronged and ashamed in her heart.

Ever since this lily of the valley came into the house, she almost took over the previous work of calamus, but she was still doing things that offended others, if she didn't know, she would have thought that lily of the valley was the grand maid in front of the empress.

Although the empress would also give her some rewards to appease her, it is better to go out for a walk after all.

Liu Xu bit her lip, but didn't dare to say anything, turned around and left the room.

……

When Mianning received the things from the queen, she tightened her hand holding the pen, and didn't allow anyone to enter the room, she just said coldly: "Take it, and thank the empress for her kindness on my behalf."

The eunuch who answered didn't dare to stay in the room any longer, so he hurried out to answer.

As soon as Mianning waited for him to go out, he threw the pen on the table.

Is the queen sympathizing with him?

snort!He is indeed worthy of sympathy.

It's just that when Huang Ama asked a question, he hesitated for a while, and he suffered such a severe scolding. Among the brothers, he was the only one who received this treatment.

He really didn't understand why Huang Ama treated him like this?

Is it because he is not in good health?

But he has already given birth to a son, and there will be a son in the future.

Is it because I hate my mother?

But Er Niang has been dead for so many years, and Huang Ama hasn't shown anything in these years, so why should she be like this at this time?

After removing these external factors, the only thing left is internal factors that he himself dare not even think about.

He must have done something to dissatisfy Huang Ama.

But if you want to talk about the latest thing, he found someone to set up a trap for Haranga, hoping to teach him a lesson, and then save him by himself. In this way, even if he wanted to hide from himself, he couldn't escape.

It's just that he didn't expect that this matter was ruined by Qing Gui, a meddlesome person, and his plan was completely shattered.

Is it because of this?

Thinking of this, Mianning panicked.

He used this method to make friends with ministers, and he could imagine what Huang Ama would think if he knew about it.

Mianning was so panicked that she couldn't sit still.

He got up and walked to the window, looking at the desolate yard outside the window, filled with resentment and fear in his heart.

How will Huang Ama deal with him?

Cut his title?

Retire him from his errand?

Or snub him?

Every time Mianning thinks about it, she feels a sharp pain in her heart. Is it possible that the situation I have managed so hard to manage should be destroyed so easily?

He doesn't agree!

Mianning's eyes were bloodshot.

He must not easily admit defeat!

……

At the end of September, Jiaqing finally returned to Yuanmingyuan.

Si Ning finally knew the details of the day, but she had the same idea as the queen, it would never be that simple, there must be other things involved.

But Mian Yi didn't say much, and Si Ning didn't ask too much, no matter what, she couldn't get involved anyway.

But in order to do things better in the future, Si Ning still thought about it and asked: "Will the emperor reuse the second elder brother in the future?"

Mian Yi smiled secretly: "Probably not, but maybe, who knows what my good second brother will do?"

Si Ning knew it clearly, it seemed like a big deal.

Jiaqing's attitude also corroborated Sining's guess. Ever since he came back from Mulan, he looked a little annoyed. When he came to Sining, he kept frowning. Mouth, and then put somewhere to cool.

Si Ning didn't persuade him, he was angry, and she silently accompanied him by the side.

After a few days, Jiaqing finally came out of his thoughts, took Si Ning's hand and sighed: "People in this world, even if you know him better consciously, it's hard to see through."

Si Ning knew that it was Mian Ning who was talking about, so she didn't reply, but gently clenched his hand with her backhand.

Jiaqing's heart softened, and he raised his head to look at Si Ning: "But I don't trust others in this world, but I trust you."

Si Ning's heart moved, she was a little surprised, then hooked her lips again, and said softly: "The concubine also believes in the emperor."

Hearing these words, Jiaqing felt his heart go weak, and the distressed expression on his face immediately changed into a smile.

Si Ning lowered her eyes and let him embrace her, she just sighed in her heart, it's okay to say this, anyone who believes is a fool.

……

In early October, Sining followed Jiaqing back to the Forbidden City.

Mianning was still grounded, but he didn't let him stay in the garden, and came back with him.

Si Ning heard from Mian Chen that Mian Yi was still in front of Jia Qing, pleading with Mian Ning again and again, but Jia Qing didn't answer a single word, and still maintained the previous punishment, and even withdrew Mian Ning's errand.

Now, no one dares to mention this matter anymore. Everyone knows that the second elder brother may have really messed up this time.

……

Although there was a lot of discussion outside, the second elder brother's mansion, which was in the center of the storm, seemed extraordinarily peaceful at this moment.

Mianning held back his anger and confined his feet in the study, reading and writing every day, trying to show a look of remorse and serious reflection, even refusing to take medicine, making himself miserable.

And the Erfujin Guerjia clan behind her didn't seem to be affected by this incident, and she even breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter if the feet are grounded or the Sacred Heart is lost, as long as the second elder brother can stop tossing and hurt her family, that is a good thing. Now, seeing what the emperor means, although he is angry, he is not too angry, as long as it doesn't affect himself If your child inherits the title in the future, then it is not a big problem.

She even feels a little happy now, because since this incident happened, her surroundings have become much cleaner, and Mian Ning no longer talks about giving birth to an elder brother in front of her every day, and those concubines do not come to curry favor with her Flattery, everyone seems to be honest.

Guarja sometimes thinks that this kind of life can last forever, so that he can live a peaceful life for a few days.

But this idea is still an extravagant hope. In November, Mianning's confinement period finally came to an end.

At the end of the day, Guarja felt that the sky was a little gloomy.

She thought that Mianning would immediately go to the emperor to plead guilty, and then the two father and son would perform a show of admitting their mistakes and repenting.

But in the end it was beyond Guarjia's expectation.

Mianning still didn't come out of the study room, but went to Jiaqing to express his greetings, and then sent over the scriptures he copied by hand, saying that he was not filial and made the emperor angry. The blood scriptures written in blood, hoping to atone for their sins.

Jiaqing didn't say anything, but he accepted the scriptures.

This can be regarded as a good trend, but Guerjia was not happy at all, because Mianning came to see her as soon as she came out of the study.

Mianning's complexion was a little colder than before, she just sat on a chair far away, said a few words to Guarjia, asked her about her health, and went out.

It's not the same as before, saying some annoying love words.

While Guerjia breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little uneasy at the same time. She always felt that Mianning now seemed a little different from the past.

……

Since then, Mianning has been silent.

No matter inside or outside the palace, there is no news about Mianning, Si Ning heard the news from the eyeliner, the second elder brother has been either reading or copying scriptures during this time, almost staying at home.

Si Ning could vaguely guess what he was thinking, but he didn't say much, just let people continue to stare.

Sometimes Si Ning would talk about this with Mian Yi, but Mian Yi didn't seem to care, just smiled and said: "Let him go, there's not much he can do now."

Si Ning nodded, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Xx

New Year's Eve will come soon.

The palace was busy again.

This year, Si Ning is also much busier than previous years because the flowers and trees in the palace are going to change a lot.

At the beginning, the style and quantity of flowers and trees were ordered palace by palace, and the account book was used to reconcile the money reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the end, it turned out to be more than 2000 taels of silver more than when the flowers and trees were changed for the first time.

Si Ning was laughed at by this group of people, it was because she was looking at her for not knowing how to count, and she dared to fool her like this.

Si Ning didn't talk nonsense with these people, she directly recruited them to her palace, threw the two ledgers in front of them, and asked them to answer her by themselves.

The two people who were talking back and forth were a little trembling. After a long time, they gave an excuse that the year was different and the price of flowers and trees had increased.

Another question from Qingdai, could it be that the price of each of them has increased, and each of them has doubled?

The Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly fell silent.

Only then did Si Ning coldly say: "Repay the bill to me again, if it is still not appropriate, then find someone who is appropriate to talk to me."

The man didn't dare to say much, he hurriedly kowtowed in response, and then scrambled away.

Si Ning looked at their backs, and knew in her heart that these people were just out to take the blame, and it would be useless to deal with them now, and she was only assisting the palace affairs now, so there was no need to show up at this time.

But if Mian Yi can succeed in the future, she must deal with these moths well.

Soon the second report came up, and it was not much different from the first one, so Si Ning nodded.

"Okay, let's do it according to this, take the sign and go down, let the money be transferred."

Qing Jin replied and went on to reply, but Qing Dai was still a little dissatisfied: "If you want to tell me, this price is still a bit expensive, and the price outside is not like this."

Si Ning smiled: "Okay, Chinese New Year is coming soon, it's not worth making a big deal, these people, there is always time to deal with them."

Then Qing Dai reluctantly nodded her head: "It's also your mother's kindness, otherwise, it's the first time I come here, I should deprive them of their errands."

Si Ning sighed in her heart, it's not that she is generous, it's just that she is not in her position now and is not seeking her own affairs.

Xx

The purchase of flowers and trees in Sining passed without incident.

After hearing this, the queen gave a cold voice: "It's a good deal, let her get through this after all."

Liu Xu didn't make a sound at the side, while Ling Lan smiled and said, "It's also the concubine's luck, but if she pushes harder, I'm afraid the gang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make a mess of her."

The queen didn't say a word, but she sighed in her heart, the noble concubine has not been in vain for so many years in the palace, she naturally knows the depth of the water here, and also understands the truth that enough is enough.

My little temptation this time didn't hurt her at all.

But it doesn't matter, the days will be long in the future, and the palace power can always be taken back bit by bit.

The queen didn't think too much, she just said lightly: "Okay, tell the people over there that you don't have to do this again in the future, be honest, don't let the noble concubine catch you, if there is an emergency, I'm afraid I will save you too." Not him."

Ling Lan respectfully agreed.
