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

The death of the emperor is a big event.

The entire Forbidden City fell into a tense atmosphere because of this news.

Si Ning was leaning on the couch at this time, listening to the funeral bell in a trance, still felt a little unreal.

Qing Jin had already changed into mourning clothes, and walked in from the outside with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to the front."

Si Ning froze for a moment, then nodded, she is the emperor's concubine, so naturally she is going to pay homage to the coffin.

"Help me up." Si Ning spoke, but her voice was hoarse.

When she heard the news just now, perhaps the shock was too great, her legs suddenly became weak and she couldn't even stand up, and then she was supported by two maids to lean on the couch.

Qing Jin stepped forward and waited for Si Ning to get off the bed.

At this moment, Qingdai also walked in with Qingguo and mourning clothes.

Si Ning stood up, and several maids waited on her to wash the makeup on her face, and then helped her put on the mourning clothes.

The linen material is very heavy, and she feels a little heavy wearing it.

Qing Jin hesitated for a moment, looked at Si Ning's calm face, and finally said anxiously: "Niang Niang, it's time to go to the front."

Si Ning nodded and walked out without saying a word.

Qing Jin and Qing Dai looked at each other, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the empress might really get angry this time because of the stimulation.

When Si Ning went all the way to Lingqian, the concubines from various palaces also passed by one after another.

Although they had been psychologically prepared, they were still in a state of panic when the incident actually happened, and when they arrived at Jiaqing's funeral, they began to cry bitterly.

Si Ning got out of the car outside the still-dead Qianqing Palace, and before she got close, she heard the loud crying inside.

Si Ning paused, feeling in a daze for a while, and actually didn't want to go in.

Qing Jin has been looking at Si Ning, seeing her stop, said cautiously: "Niang Niang, what's wrong?"

Si Ning shook his head, then paused again, before asking, "Where are Mian Yi and Mian Chen now?"

Qing Jin whispered back: "It should be inside."

Si Ning let out an oh, and then walked towards the hall step by step.

Every time she took a step, the crying in the palace became more and more clear.

She looked at the majestic gate of Qianqing Palace, feeling a little dazed.

Seeing that the empress still didn't intend to cry, Qing Jin gritted her teeth, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "The empress should cry."

Si Ning was taken aback, then turned to look at Qing Jin: "Why are you crying? He told me that he must be fine in the future. How can I cry in front of him?"

Qing Jin was stunned, she fixedly looked at Si Ning.

It's not for anything else, but because even though Si Ning said such words at that time, tears were already streaming down his face.

"Niang Niang..." Qing Jin's voice was mixed with crying.

She knew the subtle relationship between the empress and the emperor, although she saw that the emperor loved the empress so much and the empress treated the emperor tenderly, but she always felt that there was something between them.

I always felt that Niangniang was a bit unreal, but now, watching her burst into tears, Qing Jin felt that Niangniang seemed to have fallen from mid-air to the real place all of a sudden, and no longer had the feeling of illusory illusion before.

Si Ning also noticed her gaffe, she turned her head away, not wanting to be seen in such a mess, and continued to walk towards Qianqing Palace.

Qing Jin was stunned at the same place, and after a long time hurriedly caught up.

As soon as Si Ning entered the Qianqing Palace, her nose and eyes were full of incense.

Mian Yi saw her immediately, and hurried over to greet her: "Emiang."

Si Ning held his son's hand and said softly, "I want to see you, Ama."

Mian Yi looked at Er Niang's red eyes, nodded while holding back her sadness, and dragged Si Ning to Jiaqing's corpse, seeing Yong Yan lying in the Zi Palace with a calm face, Si Ning's heart suddenly felt sore .

In fact, they didn't have a deep relationship for so many years, and some of them just got along with each other casually, but now she couldn't stop crying.

Mian Yi saw that Er Niang was crying hard, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "E Niang, don't feel bad."

Si Ning shook his head, but shed tears: "Help me to his grave."

Mian Yi opened her mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but in the end she couldn't say it. In the past, he could talk like a lotus in front of other people, but looking at such a sad mother, he couldn't say a word. come out.

Silently, Mian Yi helped Si Ning to Jiaqing's mausoleum, and brought her a thick cushion, and knelt down to serve Si Ning.

The concubines at the side also bowed to Si Ning, they knew very well in their hearts that they might have to rely on Si Ning to live in the future.

Si Ning nodded to them, didn't say much, just covered his mouth with a handkerchief while burning paper for Yong Yan.

The sad atmosphere before in the hall was restored again, Si Ning looked at the beating flames, feeling extremely depressed.

……

Several ministers, including Dong Gao, quickly took out the secret edict behind the upright plaque, to show justice, and they were accompanied by Qing Gui, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Dai Liankui, Mianyi's teacher.

Several people looked at the secret edict and confirmed that Mian Yi was indeed the crown prince, so they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and finally no other moths were caused.

Dong Gao looked at several ministers: "My lords, since the secret decree has been made, it is time to do the persuasion. The country cannot live without a king."

Dong Gao is the chief minister of military affairs, and when he said this, other people naturally followed suit: "Master Dong is very right."

Several military ministers made up their minds and stopped talking. They turned around and walked in front of Mianyi. Holding the secret decree and Jiaqing's last edict, they knelt on the ground and begged Mianyi to succeed her as soon as possible.

Naturally, Mian Yi had to make three concessions, seeing the elders crying so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs, so she reluctantly accepted the will and took the throne before Jiaqing's mausoleum.

Mian Yi succeeded to the throne, and the righteous name was determined, and all the people present didn't care to cry immediately, and all paid respects to the emperor.

Of course Sining doesn't need to be like this, Mian Yi came over in person and helped Sining up.

With tears in his eyes, he said: "The emperor's father appointed his son and minister as the crown prince, and the son and minister should be trembling, take charge of the country, and support his mother."

Si Ning patted the back of his son's hand, and said softly: "Good boy, you are so filial and sensible, your Emma knows, I'm afraid she will be happy too."

……

On the second day after Mian Yi Lingqian succeeded to the throne, the first decree respected Sining as the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother and lived in the Shoukang Palace, while the other concubines were moved to live in the Ningshou Palace. Mianyi's wives and concubines, Then officially entered the Forbidden City.

Si Ning was not in a hurry, but the concubines were not so easy to talk about. As soon as the decree came out, they began to move. For a while, in the Forbidden City, apart from Duan Su's grief, there was also a little more noise.

However, most of the concubines didn't dare to speak too much, for fear of offending the new emperor, they went to Ningshou Palace honestly.

Si Ning thought that Concubine Ru was still pregnant, so she told the House of Internal Affairs to let Concubine Ru move slowly.

Naturally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare not listen to the Empress Dowager's words, so Concubine Ru, concubine Xun who had a good relationship with Si Ning, finally received preferential treatment.

When the move in the harem was almost done, and the day of Jiaqing's death came, Mian Yi chose an auspicious day to move Jiaqing's Zi Palace out of the capital, and moved it to Jing'an Village.

On the day of sending off the spirit, Si Ning also went with her, and she didn't know what was going on, seeing Yongyan's Zigong getting farther and farther away from the Forbidden City, the more tears she shed.

She knew very well that once he left, he would never come back, and they would never have a chance to meet again.

When he was alive, Si Ning had always been indifferent to him, not to mention how deep his feelings were, but when he died, Si Ning felt a little empty and futile in his heart. Sometimes when he looked at the familiar ornaments in the past, he would think of , those trivial things with Yong Yan on weekdays.

It's not unforgettable, but it just makes people remember it all the time.

When the spirit sending team disappeared from Si Ning's eyes, the breath she had held in her heart for the past few days suddenly dissipated, and the physical fatigue and mental exhaustion of the past few days suddenly surged up, and she His feet flickered, his eyes went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.

……

When Si Ning woke up again, it was already dark outside, she frowned, and raised her hand to lift the curtain at her hand, but she found that her arm was a little weak, and she couldn't lift it at all.

Si Ning endured the discomfort and coughed lightly.

Qing Jin from the outside immediately stepped forward and gently lifted the curtain: "Is your mother awake? Do you want some water?"

Sining nodded.

Qing Jin helped Si Ning to get up, and at the same time ordered Qing Dai from outside to bring in water.

Qing Dai quickly brought a cup of warm water into the room, this is Sining's usual habit after getting up.

She took a shallow sip of warm water, and her throat, which was a little uncomfortable, felt a little better.

She cleared her throat and said, "Nothing happened today, right?"

Qing Jin replied in a low voice: "The empress dowager fainted today, which frightened the emperor and the empress empress. The emperor stayed by your bed for a long time, and then left because of something in the previous court. Before leaving, he kept telling the servants to take good care of you." You, when you wake up, you must send him a message."

"There is also the empress, who has been standing by your side, but just now seeing that it was getting dark, the servant decided to let the empress go back first."

Si Ning listened and nodded: "You did a good job."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Tell the emperor and empress about my waking up. If they don't receive the news, they will be worried again."

Qing Jin complied.

Si Ning sat leaning against the couch for a while, feeling that she had regained some consciousness, but she was a little hungry, so she asked someone to pass on the meal.

But before dinner came, Mian Yi came over.

He looked as if he came here in a hurry all the way, and his body was still a little cold.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Emiang, are you alright?"

Si Ning fainted today, which is true and frightened Mian Yi. In Mian Yi's mind, although E Niang looked weak, she was never a weak woman. She had her own set of rules for doing things, and she did not rely on Cuscuta survived by Huang Ama.

Even if the atmosphere in the palace was so chaotic due to the dispute over the position, she could still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

But today, she fainted in front of her eyes.

Although Mian Yi went to see off the spirit, she was always worried about Er Niang's situation, and visited Shoukang Palace as soon as she came back, but she only woke up now.

Si Ning looked at his son and smiled softly: "I'm fine, but you, it's so late, why bother to come here, the night is cool, don't freeze you."

Si Ning knew that during this period of time, although his son looked at the scenery, he had actually endured a lot of pressure and had a lot of things at hand.

Mian Yi sat beside Si Ning's couch and sighed: "Seeing Er Niang faint, how can I feel at ease in my heart, I need to see you in person to recover."

Si Ning smiled: "I know you are filial."

The mother and son sat and talked for a while, and when the dinner came, Mian Yi personally served Si Ning for the dinner.

Seeing his slightly tired expression, Si Ning asked someone to bring bowls and chopsticks for Mian Yi, and they ate some together.

After eating a bowl of sour noodle soup, Si Ning felt much more comfortable.

Mian Yi didn't eat noodles, but just had a few mouthfuls of porridge.

After eating, Mian Yi talked to Si Ning about serious business after she finished clearing the tableware.

"Now that Huang Ama's funeral is over, it's almost the end of the year, and I have to discuss matters in the palace with Emiang."

Si Ning knew what he meant, even though Mian Yi's wives and concubines lived in the East and West Sixth Palaces, they still had no titles.

Si Ning nodded: "This matter is also a big one, it depends on what you want."

Mian Yi thought for a while and said: "Fujin is the empress, of course it is indisputable. As the side Fujin, the little Tong Jia can be concubine, the big Tong Jia gave birth to the second princess, and can be concubine, and the Guo family gave birth to the second elder brother. Also named concubine, does the empress do you think it's appropriate?"

Si Ning nodded: "It's quite appropriate, but how to deal with the two princesses that your Huang Ama pointed out to you later?"

Mian Yi didn't expect Si Ning to ask this question, she paused for a moment and said: "Although they haven't served for a long time, but after all, Huang Ama personally appointed and served in Qian Mansion, so they can be named nobles."

Si Ning nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth: "Then where are your brothers?"

Mian Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "You don't need to talk about the second brother, I will talk about it when the sons of the younger brothers and sisters grow up in the future. Of course, I will not treat the third brother badly. As for the fourth brother, the emperor has already given orders."

Si Ning froze for a moment, only felt that Mian Yi's last words were a bit subtle.

Jiaqing doesn't necessarily like Mian Kai very much, why would he entrust Mian Kai's future?

Could it be that she was afraid of Mianyi's revenge?

This is impossible, Jiaqing must know what kind of person Mianyi is, and if she really doesn't trust Mianyi, she shouldn't entrust her to Mianyi, but directly confer the title in the will.

Si Ning suddenly thought of the queen's death, and suddenly wanted to realize something, but she didn't dare to think deeply, she just nodded: "Since that's the case, then I won't talk too much, you can just figure it out."

Mian Yi nodded: "E Niang just needs to take care of her life, no matter how incompetent my son is, I will never let Er Niang be wronged again."

Seeing Mian Yi's sincere eyes, Si Ning sighed, but didn't say much, just patted the back of his son's hand, and said softly: "Of course Er Niang believes in you."

After speaking, Mian Yi was urged by Si Ning to go back to rest, but Si Ning herself could not sleep, she sat on the couch for a long time before she rested.

Looking at the moon outside through the window, she sighed in her heart that starting today, she will start another new life.

……

Si Ning woke up early the next morning, and the queen led the concubines from the harem to pay Si Ning a peace.

This is the first time that Si Ning has accepted greetings from her daughters-in-law as the empress dowager, and it is also the first time she has met Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Datong Jia and other princesses from Mianyi's former residence.

She has seen little Tong Jia many times, she looked a little sad at this moment, but when Si Ning asked something, she would still forcefully answer her with a smile.

After asking a lot of questions, Si Ning got a good idea of ​​the tempers of these people in Mianyi's harem.

Niu Hulu is naturally stable and generous, while little Tong Jia is a little sentimental, but his communication skills are still online.

Datong Jiashi is honest and well-behaved, sitting there without saying a word.

Mrs. Guo seemed a little different. Although he had learned the lesson before, he obviously didn't realize his mistake. He just sat there obediently, with his eyes rolling around, looking at the furnishings in the room.

When Si Ning asked questions, his tone was a little frivolous, a little flattering, and what he said was a little tired and flustered.

But it can be seen that he is a person with no scheming, and all his thoughts are on his face.

After Si Ning got a preliminary understanding of their personalities, he didn't say much, just said a few homely words, then sent them back, and told the queen that he only needs to come every five days in the future, not every day .

The queen was a little panicked, but Si Ning comforted her carefully, only saying that she was impatient and noisy, and liked to be quiet, so she didn't have to worry too much.

Only then did the queen feel at ease, and respectfully accepted the order.

……

A few days later, Mianyi's canonization decree finally came down, little Tong Jia was canonized as Concubine Yi, big Tong Jia was canonized as Concubine Ning, and Mrs. Guo was canonized as Concubine Jin.

Si Ning really couldn't figure out why Mian Yi gave Guo Shi the title of "Jin", is this a warning to her to act cautiously?

However, Mrs. Guo herself was very happy. Although she was not able to be a concubine, she was still the lord of the first palace. With her background in a hidden residence, it would not be easy to have a concubine in the future.

Concubine Yi, on the other hand, was full of emotion. As a side Fujin, she was only a concubine. It seemed that the emperor had little affection for her.

Maybe when she has an heir in the future, she can go a step further.

Sining didn't know what the concubines in Mianyi's harem were thinking, but Niu Hulu, as a queen, saw it clearly, but she didn't say much. As a queen, no matter what the concubines thought, as long as she could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai , then the problem is not big.

And she could vaguely sense that Concubine Yi really thought too much sometimes, which was not beneficial to her.

The matter of status finally passed without incident.

The palace finally ushered in the new year.

After the new year, a new era name will be changed, and Mian Yi has already delineated his own era name, Xinghe.

On the 18th of the [-]th year of Jiaqing, Si Ning spent the last New Year's Eve of the Jiaqing year, and her children and grandchildren came to salute her.

Mian Chen was made Prince Duan, and Mian Kai was made Prince Dun.

Mian Kai looked a little sluggish, but now he knew the height of his brows and eyes, so even though he was uncomfortable in his heart, he was able to get by on the surface. He said a lot of nice things in front of Si Ning, and came with Fujin again He bowed to Si Ning.

Prince Dun Fu Jin was very winking, without showing any inappropriate expression, he smiled and said to Si Ning: "It is also due to the blessing of the Empress Dowager, my son was diagnosed and conceived years ago. .”

Si Ning was quite happy when she heard that, and immediately pulled her to say a lot of caring words.

On the one hand, this is a matter of face, on the other hand, Si Ning also likes Niu Hulu, a smart girl.

When Mian Chen and his wife came up, the two of them became more natural. Mian Chen didn't expect that he could be crowned prince in one step, so he was very happy to see it, and Zhang Jia was also happy. The future emperor will be his husband's brother. Needless to say the future of their family.

The two paid New Year's greetings to Si Ning, and several grandchildren also came forward to pay New Year's greetings.

Si Ning saw Yun Zhen leading her siblings to New Year's greetings, not to mention how distressed she was, she hurriedly pulled a few children over, sat beside her, smiled and said to their couple: "The children are very sensible, you will treat the children Well educated."

Zhang Jia was even happier, but Mian Chen said loudly: "It's all thanks to Fujin, but I haven't been able to teach anything.",

Si Ning laughed angrily at him: "On a good day, you will talk nonsense."

Mian Chen smiled indifferently: "It's a family gathering, so I'm naturally more comfortable talking."

Si Ning shook his head, smiled and nodded at him: "Okay, go back and sit down."

Mian Chen went back to sit down with Fujin.

Mian Yi was also smiling at the same time and said: "The third brother has such a temper, Er Niang, don't teach him a lesson."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing: "Okay, now you two brothers are standing on the same line, it's okay, I won't talk about you in the future."

Who knows that at this time Mianchen played tricks: "How can it be, Er Chen likes Er Niang to talk about me, if Er Niang doesn't talk about me one day in the future, Er Chen will still feel itchy."

For a while, everyone in the room laughed.

……

After Mian Yi and Mian Kai finished their New Year greetings, Mian Yi led his wife, concubine and children, and gave Sining another big New Year greeting.

Seeing the children and grandchildren in this room, Si Ning smiled and nodded: "They are all good children, let's all get up."

Only then did everyone get up, and Si Ning waved to Yixuan who was standing first behind Mianyi: "Yixuan, come here."

Yi Xuan stepped forward cautiously, Mian Yi saw how tall her eldest grandson looked now, and she liked it very much in her heart. She told her grandson a few words in a warm voice, and gave Yi Xuan a piece of her own jade pendant.

"This is the jade pendant given to me by the first emperor, and I will give it to you now, I hope you will be safe in the future."

Yixuan was a little panicked for a moment: "The jade pendant given by Huang Mafa to Huang Mama, how dare my grandson surpass it."

Si Ning glanced at Mian Yi, Mian Yi smiled and nodded at her son: "Accept it, it's also your mama's wish."

Only then did Yixuan accept the jade pendant.

Si Ning could tell that Mian Yi was satisfied with Yi Xuan so far, so she had to make a gesture to let others know the current situation.

After delivering the jade pendant, Si Ning talked to Yi Xuan a lot before letting him go down.

However, she did not wrong her other grandchildren, and she also gave things to them, but naturally it was not as precious as that jade pendant.

The queen watched from the side, very excited in her heart, but on the face she barely suppressed the emotions in her heart, trying to appear calm and calm.

On the contrary, Concubine Jin was a little unconvinced, but unfortunately, with her current status, she naturally couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with the Queen Mother, so she could only curse Si Ning inwardly.

It's just a pity that Si Ning doesn't care about this kind of slander.

After the New Year's greetings, they began to eat. After eating the New Year's Eve, Si Ning felt a little tired, so he didn't stay long, and left soon. As for when the rest of the people had to watch the night, it didn't matter to Si Ning thing.

After all, she now has the capital to be willful.
