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

This year has been quite lively, Si Ning, as the woman with the highest status in the palace, finally enjoys a way of living as she pleases without having to look at others.

The juniors below all tried their best to please her, and she was also happy to be courted by others. Hearing their flattering words one after another, she laughed from ear to ear like an ordinary old lady.

After the new year is over, it will be the first year of Xinghe. The Ministry of Internal Affairs requests a draft to enrich the harem.

Mian Yi finds it troublesome and wants to use the excuse that the late emperor passed away not long ago and has no intention of going to the harem.

After all, in Mian Yi's view, the current Qing Dynasty is already leaking from all sides, and he still has a lot to do.

But I didn't expect such a trivial matter to cause opposition from most courtiers in the court.

Their excuses are also readily available. The emperor's heirs are weak, and the country and the country should be the most important.

Mian Yi was very angry at these words, and immediately got into a fight with these people, insisting on not drafting.

Later, things became more and more troublesome, and some people came to Sining, hoping that Sining would persuade the emperor to put the country and the country as the most important thing.

After hearing this, Si Ning didn't take it seriously, just smiled: "The talent selection depends on the emperor's own wishes. Besides, the emperor also has children under his knees. At my age, why should I care about it?"

The person who came to persuade him was speechless for a while, and he said after a long time: "It's just that the age of marriage among the clan members is getting older, and the servants are also worried."

Seeing that the visitor finally told the truth, Si Ning smiled: "Don't worry, the next emperor may not care, but he won't delay the marriage of the clansmen."

In fact, there is one thing that Si Ning didn't say, Mian Yi has long been displeased with these Eight Banners children who lead hard-core crops, and I'm afraid there will be a liquidation in the future, but now, they still have to be stabilized first.

Just like this time's competition for the draft or not, the essence is not in the draft, but in the authority of the emperor.

Later, the ministers saw that the emperor did not flinch even under the enormous pressure, and finally they could only give up, but they clearly realized in their hearts that the current emperor is not as easy to fool as the first emperor. Although he is young, he is not easy to handle.

With this awareness, the ministers immediately became more submissive, and Mianyi became a little more relaxed in her actions.

Although this incident seems to have passed easily, in fact, the impact it caused was fermenting secretly.

In the harem, apart from Si Ning who saw some clues, many people were still ignorant, they only thought that the emperor was really filial, and they didn't want to draft the first emperor not long after his death. God, of course it's good for them too.

In addition to the above-mentioned matters, regarding the marriage of the clansmen, Mian Yi really did what Si Ning said, and did not ignore it. She directly circled the names of the girls from the previous drafts who had left their names in the draft, and gave them The clansmen pointed to marriage.

When the clan members heard the news, they felt much more relieved, knowing that the emperor still valued them.

And those ambitious families who wanted to take advantage of this draft and send their daughters to the palace couldn't help sighing, they really missed a good opportunity.

……

After Si Ning heard about Mian Yi's handling after the incident, she also sighed in her heart, knowing how to give a big stick and then a carrot, Mian Yi's current emperor's mentality can be regarded as very smooth.

But these trivial matters have nothing to do with Si Ning, she is now imitating the old ladies from other families, chatting with people, watching plays, growing flowers, writing, and drawing.

The daily schedule is very full, leisurely and comfortable.

If a few grandchildren came to say hello, Sining would be even happier, and would hold their hands, talk and ask questions.

Among them, Yixuan comes most frequently. Although he is only twelve or thirteen years old now, he already has the appearance of an adult on the surface, and he looks very upright and stable. Si Ning listens to his words and demeanor, it seems that he is not Confucian. , we know that Mianyi has raised this child very carefully.

Si Ning nodded secretly, she knew what situation China would face in the future, but with her status, all she can do now is to influence the emperors of this two generations, as for the future, that is not her It's time to take care of it, and it has its own history to witness.

In March, Mian Yi escorted Si Ning to the Old Summer Palace.

Si Ning prefers the life in the garden, Mian Yi also knows this.

However, when choosing a place to live, Si Ning still chose the previous Changchun Immortal Pavilion.

She is familiar with living here and likes the surrounding scenery.

Naturally, Mianyi didn't have to do anything, so she asked people to go to the Changchun Immortal Hall to tidy up and repair it a month in advance. Many flowers and plants that were not there before.

Si Ning sighed, and said to Mian Yi: "It was good as before, why waste manpower and material resources."

Mian Yi smiled: "It's just a trimming, it's not wasted, Er Niang can stay here with peace of mind."

Si Ning knew that Mian Yi was not a extravagant person, so she nodded, "It's just this one time, don't do it in the future."

Mian Yi also responded with a smile.

This time living in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, it is naturally different from before, there are other concubines living in together, this time, the other concubines did not follow at all.

Originally, Si Ning thought that Concubine Xun would come with her. She also talked to Concubine Xun in the past, but it didn't happen. At the end of February, Concubine Ru gave birth and gave birth to a son. Concubine Xun volunteered to take care of Concubine Ru. Concubine, she couldn't come after all.

Si Ning actually knew Concubine Xun's thoughts. Although Mian Yi became the emperor, as a concubine with a good relationship with Si Ning, she did not treat her badly, but the temporary status change inevitably made her feel a little lost, so she wanted to find something do it.

Rufei gave birth just in time.

So Si Ning didn't persuade her, no matter what her state of mind was, she would have to adjust it sooner or later.

……

Life in the garden is even more relaxed. Not only is the scenery more beautiful, but the living space is more comfortable, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed than in the palace.

Si Ning took a good look at the places that he hadn't been able to visit before, and even went to the place where Yongyan lived before, and looked at the things he used in the past, and felt a little sour in his heart.

And Mian Yi seems to understand Si Ning's mood, she didn't seal up these things, but put them there as before, and let people go in to clean them up every day, as if he didn't pass away, just went out , will be back soon.

Si Ning was very grateful for his son's kindness, and held Mian Yi's hand and said many words.

But life still has to go on, as time goes by, the faint sadness and heaviness gradually dissipates along with the trivialities in the palace.

In June, Mian Yi sent Si Ning to hunt in Mulan.

But Sining's mind at this moment is all tied to her daughter, because Wu Linzhu saw that it was time to give birth.

Si Ning was worried, but as the queen mother, she had to attend the emperor's first Mulan hunt. After thinking about it, Si Ning kept Qing Jin and asked her to take care of Wu Linzhu.

Knowing Sining's worries, Qingjin naturally complied respectfully and comforted Sining: "Princess is also having her second child, so it will be fine."

Si Ning forced a smile, she also hoped so, but it is uncertain what the world will be like.

Sining had been in Mulan for more than a month in fear. In August, she finally heard a message from Wulinzhu, saying that the third princess had given birth to a fat and white princess.

Si Ning was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately bestowed many things.

Mian Yi also gave things, and asked Zhang Wanfu who was in front of him to personally deliver them.

Everyone realized for a while that the empress dowager and the emperor attached great importance to the princess, so Wu Linzhu's youngest daughter's San San was held in a particularly grand manner.

Si Ning failed to catch up with Xisan, but the gift had already been given. After Zhang Wanfu came back from the princess mansion, he learned from Si Ning what happened that day.

Si Ning smiled and nodded, "As long as the princess is fine."

Hearing these words, Zhang Wanfu sighed in his heart, now that the princess is in such a position, it is difficult to do well.

……

At the end of September, the emperor returned to the palace with the empress dowager.

Si Ning did not go back directly to the Forbidden City, but went to the Princess Mansion to visit her daughter.

As the emperor, Mian Yi naturally accompanied E Niang.

When they were leaving, Wu Linzhu and her son-in-law came out to greet her personally. Seeing her daughter's face was rosy and she didn't look weak at all, Si Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Sining saw her little granddaughter in person.

There is only a small ball, the small one is also handsome, and the skin is very fair, Si Ning likes it just by looking at it.

"Your birth is good." Si Ning said with a smile.

Wu Linzhu also laughed beside her: "Er Chen also said that at the time, so I knew that Er Niang would like it, and Er Chen looks a bit like Er Niang when he looks at her like this."

Si Ning looked at Wu Linzhu with a smile: "You are now glib."

Wu Linzhu still smiled: "Emiang wronged others, and my minister is also telling the truth."

Si Ning smiled, and instead of playing tricks with her daughter, she directly wiped off the bracelet from her hand and stuffed it into Little Gege's swaddle.

"This bracelet is full of water. I've been wearing it for several years. Let's give it to Little Gege. It's not in vain for your mother to be so sweet."

Si Ning said to the little granddaughter with a smile.

The little granddaughter yawned, turned her head, and fell asleep.

Wu Linzhu couldn't help laughing at the side: "It's my credit that Ge Ge got Er Niang's good things, and I will definitely learn from Xiao Ge Ge in the future."

Si Ning looked at the mischievous girl, smiled and shook her head, feeling relieved in her heart, her daughter can be so cheerful, she wants to live a comfortable life.

After putting down the children, Si Ning and Si Ning went to the front flower hall. When they went, Mian Yi was talking to Ebo, seeing Si Ning and Wu Linzhu coming in, E Bo hurriedly got up and saluted Si Ning.

Si Ning raised his hand and said with a smile: "Little Gege is very good, let's have a good life in the future."

Sotnam Dobuji was taken aback, glanced at Si Ning, then lowered his head after a long time, and respectfully agreed.

At noon, Si Ning and Mian Yi had dinner at Wu Linzhu's residence, and then returned to the palace.

When they returned to the palace, Wu Linzhu and his son-in-law still saw each other off in person, and they waited until the guard of honor disappeared before turning back.

After returning home, she sat down in the front flower hall, and Wu Linzhu hurriedly took a sip of tea. She had talked a lot today, and her mouth was a little dry.

But Sotnam Dobuji pondered for a while before he said cautiously: "Princess, what the empress dowager said just now, could it be that she has some thoughts about Little Gege's future?"

Wu Linzhu was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she finally understood what Sotnam Dobuji was referring to, she laughed and said: "Maybe that's what Er Niang said, Ge Ge is still young now, and the future is still early. "

"What the princess said is true." Sotnam Dobuji responded on the surface, but he didn't feel so in his heart.

The princess has a pure heart and doesn't think too much about anything, but the queen mother has been ups and downs in the harem for many years, would she also speak casually?

He still thinks that what the empress said meant something else, thinking that the two elder brothers under the emperor's knees are a little far apart in age, which is naturally inappropriate, but the next son of the prince Duan is exactly the right age for Xiao Gege, and He is still the eldest son of the prince, and he may be certain to inherit the title in the future.

If the Empress Dowager really intends to refer to the marriage, it may be possible in the future.

Thinking in this way, Sotnam Dobuji had an idea in his mind, thinking that in the future he must educate Xiao Gege well, maybe he could really marry into the royal family.

……

Si Ning didn't know that he made Sotnam Dobuji think so much with just one sentence.

However, these thoughts of his will definitely not come true. As a modern person, how could Sining do such a thing as marrying her grandchildren's close relatives? But even so, she would not wrong her granddaughter, She will definitely have a good future in the future, and Sotnam Dobuji guessed it right.

Si Ning went all the way back to the palace, but she was a little tired, so she took a rest early.

As a result, when she got up the next morning, she heard Qingjin report that Concubine Yi was pregnant.

This news was earth-shattering, Si Ning was a little stunned, and when he finally realized what happened, he hurriedly asked Qing Jin to prepare something, and rewarded it according to the rules.

As soon as Qing Jin went down to prepare, the queen came.

When she came back this time, she officially reported the good news to Si Ning.

Si Ning is no longer as surprised as before, but she is also very happy, and nodded with a smile: "It's a good thing, it needs to be taken care of carefully."

The queen nodded, her position is already very stable now, so she doesn't care about these things anymore, she just smiled and said: "It is also because of the blessing of the queen's mother that Concubine Yi can have such a happy event. I will wait until the end of the year to give birth to my elder brother." , Empress Empress will have both grandchildren and granddaughters this year."

Si Ning didn't take these blessings or blessings seriously, but she was still happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yi has been with the emperor for many years before she had this child. It's hard to think about it, so I'd better fuck it more." Some hearts are."

The empress is a smart speaker, and the empress dowager's meaning can be heard in her voice, knowing that she doesn't want any embarrassing things to happen in the palace, so she nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, my son will definitely watch carefully."

Si Ning nodded: "It's good that you know it in your heart."

After the queen reported the good news, she went back. Qing Jin watched the queen leave, and then arranged for the people below to send these things to Concubine Yi's palace.

Concubine Yi is also crying with joy now, she has been very excited ever since the imperial doctor diagnosed her pulse.

Even if she knew that being too excited now would be bad for the fetus in her womb, she couldn't restrain herself.

Ever since she entered the palace, she has been looking forward to this day. When she was not pregnant at the beginning, she suspected that someone had harmed her, but she searched and searched, but there was no clue, which proved that she was only suspicious.

Later, she suspected that she was infertile, but she invited the imperial doctor to come over to check her pulse. What she said was that her fate had not arrived, and she did not say that there was anything wrong with her body.

She has been suffering like this for many years, and now she is finally looking forward to it.

Concubine Yi caressed her belly, the thoughts in her mind were extremely complicated, and at the same time, she also had some expectations, maybe with this child, the emperor would value her more.

You know, even though her status is second in the palace, the emperor treats her only indifferently, and the number of times she comes to her palace is not much, which really makes her feel uneasy.

Concubine Yi looked forward and looked forward, looking forward to the reward from the queen mother, the reward from the queen, and finally the reward from the emperor.

Looking at the things all over the floor, she felt joyful, but also disappointed. After all, the emperor failed to come to see her in person. It seems that the emperor's friendship with her is still very weak.

Concubine Yi sighed, her originally excited mood also sank down.

Maybe it's because the child doesn't know the gender, so the emperor is so plain, she couldn't help stroking her belly, hoping that this child will be an elder brother.

……

Ever since Concubine Yi was pregnant, the Empress paid much attention to it, and immediately sent a few experienced nuns from the House of Internal Affairs to send them over, asking them to take good care of Concubine Yi.

But Concubine Yi didn't seem to appreciate it very much, she just paid homage to the two nuns and was not close to them.

The queen knew it, and she didn't take it seriously. She knew that Concubine Yi was careful, and she was always afraid that people would harm her. If she didn't want to use them, she didn't use them. With the nanny here, even if she can't be reused, she can still keep an eye on the matters in Concubine Yi's courtyard.

Concubine Yi felt a little uneasy after shelving the two nuns, she was afraid that the queen would take this opportunity to reprimand her, but she didn't expect that the queen would not say a word, Concubine Yi felt a little nervous.

Queen, what does this mean?

Don't you know your behavior?

This is impossible, she can see that the queen is a man of the city, and there is nothing in the palace that can be hidden from her.

But she still chose not to speak, perhaps because she was concerned about the child in her belly.

Concubine Yi sighed and shook her head, it's not that she doesn't trust the queen, but now is the critical moment for her, she must be more considerate in dealing with things, otherwise if something happens, she will regret it too late.

Concubine Jin, as an old man in the palace, naturally felt the subtle emotions between Concubine Yi and the Empress immediately.

She couldn't help being a little excited, thinking about the things given by the two palaces when Concubine Yi was pregnant, Concubine Jin felt a little resentful in her heart, they were all the same offspring, she was still pregnant with an older brother, Concubine Yi didn't even have a fetal image Hold on, the things bestowed on me will be much more than what I had in the past.

The empress and queen dowager were really eccentric. Seeing that their natal family was not successful and their status was not obvious, they looked down on her like this, and even Yishen who also looked down on her.

Now that Concubine Yi and the Empress have a rift, isn't that a good opportunity, and I can take advantage of it.

Concubine Jin was thinking about her own thoughts, with a strange expression on her face.

……

At noon that day, Si Ning was drinking tea in the room, when Qing Dai came in suddenly to send a message that Concubine Yi had a fetal gas, and she just invited the imperial physician.

Si Ning couldn't help frowning, didn't she say that Concubine Yi's pregnancy is stable a few days ago?Why did the tire suddenly move.

Si Ning asked Qing Dai carefully: "Do you know the reason?"

Qing Dai organized her words, and said in a straightforward manner: "It is said that Concubine Yi wants to eat jujube cake at noon today, but the nun in front of her refuses to let her, saying that it is enough for lunch today, and eating it will hurt her stomach. But Concubine Yi was angry, saying that she had heard people say that jujube cake is good for pregnant women and fetuses, and the nanny would not let her eat it, but she had something wrong with her, so the nanny knelt down to plead guilty, but the concubine Yi was furious The tire is moving."

Si Ning frowned, that nanny was sent by the queen, she knew about it, Concubine Yi didn't look stupid, why did she conflict with the person sent by the queen?

Si Ning thought for a while and said, "Who is Concubine Yi getting closer to during this time?"

Because Concubine Yi is pregnant, Qing Dai has been staring at that side, when she heard Si Ning asking, she immediately replied: "Go closer to Concubine Jin."

Si Ning's face darkened, it was probably the Guo family who did it!

She thought for a while and said, "Go to the palace of my concubine Jin to pass on my will, saying that I am not feeling well recently, and ask my concubine to copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times behind closed doors to pray for me, when will I finish copying, and when will I go out again."

Qing Dai was taken aback, and immediately understood Si Ning's meaning, this matter is not easy to deal with, if it is investigated, then I don't know what will be found out, it will not be good for the emperor, but if you want to punish, you have to find a serious reason Only then can he stand firm, if the punishment is heavy, the second elder brother will not look good.

Now it is justified to ask Concubine Jin to copy the scriptures, and everyone can understand the meaning of the Empress Dowager inside, which is just right.

After Qing Dai understood, she saluted: "I obey the order." After speaking, she went out to pass the message.

And Si Ning also called Qing Jin from outside: "Concubine Yi has gassed now, you go and see her for me, no matter what, you must report the news to me in time."

Qing Jin nodded, and also retreated in response.

After the two court ladies were dispatched, Qing Guo and Qing Ju came in to serve them.

Now the two of them can be regarded as veterans in front of Si Ning, and Si Ning has a little more trust in them, so the errands are much tighter than before. Now the Queen Mother is with the first eight big palace ladies and a dozen small palace ladies. The two of them are also considered senior, and they can enter the inner room to serve.

Si Ning leaned on the couch tiredly, Qing Ju came over and pinched her head, Qing Guo beat her legs, the severity was just right, Si Ning also felt her body relaxed a bit.

She was thinking about what happened this time, if Concubine Yi's pregnancy was safe, that would be fine, but if something happened, the subsequent treatment would not be as easy as simply copying scriptures.

……

When Concubine Jin received the order from the Empress Dowager, she felt like a bolt from the blue!

Isn't this a disguised form of confinement?

Empress dowager what does this mean?

Did she know what she was provoking here?

Impossible, how long did it take for this to happen, how could the Queen Mother find out so quickly!

That is to say, the queen mother did not check, so she decided that she did it?

Concubine Jin's teeth are about to be gritted, does the Queen Mother just look down on her like this?Don't even bother to investigate?

However, no matter how much I hated my concubine, I still had to show a smile on my face, and said to Qing Dai with a stiff expression: "It is a concubine's blessing to be able to pray for the empress dowager, please report back to the empress dowager, my concubine must take care of it." Sutra, and sincerely pray for your mother.”

Qingdai could somewhat guess Jinbi's mood, but she didn't care about it, and when she saw her answer, she nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, empress, the servant will definitely bring your words."

Concubine Jin forced a smile again, and finally endured the bleeding in her heart, and asked someone to take a purse and stuff it for Qing Dai.

"Auntie, let's have some tea." Concubine Jin's tone was stiff.

Qing Dai didn't care whether she was willing or not, she accepted the purse with a smile, then turned around and left.

Watching Qingdai leave, Jinbi's face is almost distorted.

She really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so decisive this time, and not show her face like this!

……

Naturally, Mian Yi knew about the disturbances in the harem very quickly, but at this moment, he didn't even pause his hand holding the pen, and just said indifferently: "Understood, let the empress deal with it carefully, don't let the empress be careful." worry."

Looking at the emperor's indifferent side face, Zhang Wanfu carefully answered yes.

He sighed in his heart, he had been with the emperor since he was a child, he found that the emperor still had a normal mood in front of the queen mother, and was a little distracted from the upbringing of the elder brother, but he was not good at other people. It is the slightest emotion that is not given, and the whole heart is only on the government.

I don't know if this is good or bad.

Zhang Wanfu sighed again, no matter whether it is good or bad, he, a slave, can't comment on it, he should just work honestly.
