Chapter 494 Queen Mother Su's illness caused many unforeseen storms and undercurrents. . .
A family like the Su family would never watch the power of the harem fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Cao.
However, although He Zijin also thought about the situation of the Su family, as a bystander, He Zijin obviously had different thoughts.
He Zijin even said to A Nian in private, "As far as the Su family is concerned, it's us.
Regardless of the marriage relationship between our two families, my personal preference is that I prefer Queen Mother Su, but there is one thing.
If Queen Mother Cao is not popular, she is also my biological mother."
Ah Nian obviously has his own views on power.
Ah Nian said, "This matter has nothing to do with identity.
Let alone my biological mother, even if my ancestor, Emperor Taizong, is reincarnated and wants to take over the government again, it doesn't mean he can take control of it."
Yes.
A big family like the Su family will not take a step back easily."
He Zijin and A Nian gossiped, "Then tell me, the Su family should retreat or not retreat at this step."
Anian thought for a while, "The Su family will never retreat now.
Su Shangshu is in the cabinet, and whether he has a personal relationship with the Queen Mother or not, the Cao family cannot compare with the Su family in all aspects of friendship.
Furthermore, The Queen Mother Su is in a good position, and she is the first wife of the late emperor.
The Cao family is just one step behind in terms of status.
At this time, the Su family will never retreat. " "What happens next?"
"In the future, unless there is a sudden change in the court."
Anian said, "The Su family is a family of eunuchs, and the Cao family is just a family of upstarts.
Their backgrounds are different.
What's more, judging from the Cao family's actions, it is really not very smart.
The Cao family, eight percent success is because they want to Following my sister's words, after all, they are His Majesty's family members, so they are sometimes arrogant.
However, it is better to wait until His Majesty takes charge.
Now that the Empress Dowager and the cabinet are in power, his family is so indifferent.
Now that Empress Dowager Cao is still here, for the sake of Empress Dowager Cao, there will be no hindrance to his family.
I dare not say that if it continues like this, it will only take two or three generations to decline.”
In fact, these general trends in the harem and court have nothing to do with the Jiang family.
It's just that the couple likes to talk about it in private.
After gossiping at home, He Zijin would unconsciously pay attention to it when he entered the palace.
For example, when news came out that Queen Mother Su was ill, a lot more concubines came to the palace to pay their respects.
After all, she was the current aunt and the current Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Su was a gentle person and had an excellent reputation in Gaozhong.
Many relatives and old friends heard that Empress Dowager Su was ill, and those who could enter the palace handed over signs to greet her.
Among them were Princess Wenhui and her daughter Liu Yueliu.
Liu Yue's mother is a princess and her father is an earl.
The late emperor personally arranged the marriage.
This marriage is absolutely certain.
Liu Yue will be the future empress of the central palace.
Therefore, upon hearing that Queen Mother Su was ill, Princess Wen Hui quickly brought her daughter into the palace to pay her respects.
The Empress Dowager was also very concerned about Su when she talked about it.
She said, "Asu has always been filial to me.
A few days ago, because of my Qianqiu Festival, she had to do everything herself and refused to slack off at all.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious.
She had to get up and come over yesterday.
I told her to rest for a few more days, otherwise I would not be able to rest assured. " Princess Wen Hui smiled and said, "My aunt treats the Queen Mother as if she were her own daughter.

The Queen Mother's reputation as a virtuous and filial daughter is well known to the whole court.
I heard that the Queen Mother was ill and I was very worried.
I quickly brought Ayue to the palace to visit.
I knew that the Queen Mother was not It's nothing serious, so I'm relieved."
Princess Wenhui is the eldest daughter of Emperor Renzong's brother, Prince Jin.
In terms of seniority, she is the niece of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager said, "You are here just in time.
I haven't seen A Yue for a few days.
Even A Su misses her very much."
Then she ordered the palace servants to take Liu Yue to Yongshou Palace to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Su.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Cao stood up and said, "I am about to visit my sister.
Mother, why don't I take Ayue there."
"That's fine."
The Empress Dowager nodded.
After Liu Yue left, the Empress Dowager asked Princess Wen Hui again, "How is your mother-in-law?"
Princess Wen Hui said, "Before A Yue and I went out, my mother-in-law asked me to say hello to Aunt Marquis on her behalf."
The Empress Dowager smiled, "Everything is fine here.
As long as they take care of themselves, I'll be relieved."
Even if He Zijin was an observer, he knew after hearing these words that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Liu family was not an ordinary one.
He Zijin didn't know what happened next, because when the time came, she would go to teach the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun.
However, a few days later, when He Zijin went to the palace to teach as scheduled, the Empress Dowager told her, "Duan Ning told me that the eldest princess and Jiachun are getting older and they should learn to take care of things.
I thought it would be better to live in separate palaces in the future, for the same reason.
When Ning is as old as them, he can already help me with some general affairs.
In this way, you gentlemen might as well change the lessons.
"I will reduce some lessons for the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun.
How can Zijin stay like this for a month?"
The classes that were held four times were directly changed to two.
When He Zijin went home and talked about it, Su Bing said privately, "I went back to my parents' home and heard from my mother that the Empress Dowager Cao originally suggested that the Liu family girls should study together, but the Empress Dowager refused."
He Zijin's eyebrows twitched and he said, "Empress Dowager Cao likes Miss Liu very much."
Su Bing said, "I guess so.
After all, Miss Liu was given the marriage by the late emperor himself.
From now on, she will be the empress.
Empress Dowager Cao will be the mother-in-law.
From now on, she will be the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Just like us."
Su Bing wrinkled the tip of her nose and whispered, "Although Cao Cao's status is noble, as a wife, Cao Cao's temperament is not easy to please.
It's just because the Liu family is powerful, so she is wooing the Liu family now."
He Zijin said, "Originally, according to the late emperor's marriage grant, Earl Liu was your majesty's abbot, and Duke Liu was the abbot of your majesty.
With such an identity, you still need to win over.
Although I have only been in the imperial capital for a short time, I know that the Liu family is the most loyal."
"It's not about wooing for the country.
If it's for the country and the court, loyal ministers like the Liu family, even if they don't woo them, they are still working for His Majesty.
This is just the Cao family wooing the Liu family."
Su Bing said, "Although Miss Liu wants to marry It’s for Your Majesty.
After all, she’s not married yet.

There’s no reason for a virgin daughter-in-law to take charge of her husband’s family.”
He Zijin thought for a while, "I wonder what the Liu family is thinking."
Su Bing said, "I heard from my father before that Liu Guogong was Emperor Renzong's favorite general.
Liu Guogong studied literature at the time.
Emperor Renzong was still the vassal king at that time, and the vassal territory was in Fujian.
Liu Guogong was openly When he first became an official in the Prince of Fujian, he turned to military affairs because of the recommendation of the Empress Dowager.
Later, Duke Liu soared to great heights and became the illustrious God of War in the Eastern Mu Dynasty, and for this reason, he was awarded the title of Duke. " He Zijin also heard some anecdotes about Liu Guogong, but most of what He Zijin knew was hearsay, not as detailed as Su Bing's.
When he was in Ci'en Palace, He Zijin felt that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Liu family was unusual, and he didn't want it to be such an old friendship.
He Zijin nodded slightly.
It seemed that the Empress Dowager's move was undoubtedly a good intention.
He Zijin truly felt that the Empress Dowager was indeed a good person.
The Liu family had just seen off the Cao family who came over to talk.
Count Liu and Liu Yuxiao's face froze.
After returning to the room, Princess Wen Hui asked, "What are the Cao family doing here?"
Liu Yu said, "Come and tell me that the Empress Dowager Cao hopes that her daughter will marry into the palace sooner or later, so she wants to teach her to familiarize herself with palace affairs earlier.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager refused.
The Cao family came to persuade me not to think too much."
"What are you talking about?"
Princess Wen Hui was not happy when she heard this and said, "Auntie, you don't mean well."
"The original words are not like that.
The original words are euphemistic, but that's what they mean."
Liu Yu poured a cup of tea by himself and said, "The Cao family thinks too narrowly of the Empress Dowager.
Palace affairs have always been Empress Dowager Su was in charge, and Empress Dowager Su was unwell, so Empress Dowager Cao took over.
If Princess Duanning didn't like Empress Dowager Cao, she wouldn't have asked the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun to share the palace affairs.
What's more, Empress Dowager Su.
However, the illness will never get better.
The eldest princess and Princess Jiachun are both noble ladies.
They are studying palace affairs and have a legitimate reputation.
We, Ayue, have not yet married His Majesty, so why not go there without getting married?
Not to mention helping to take care of things, Ah Yue was in the palace now, and it was difficult for her to be a good person between the two palaces.
The Queen Mother knew that our family was in trouble, so she didn't bother to come here to talk to her.
I’ll say it again.”
In a word, anyone who hangs out in the imperial capital is stupid.
Princess Wen Hui had a worried look on her eyebrows and said, "The Cao family is running wild now, so don't pay attention to him.
I am worried about something.
I brought A Yue into the palace to pay my respects to Empress Su, and Empress Cao insisted on taking her with her."
A Yue came back and told me that Empress Cao sat with Empress Su and talked a lot.
A Yue didn't even have time to say a word, so Empress Cao took her out. " Princess Wenhui was born in a vassal palace.
Emperor Taizong was her biological grandfather, and she was also a descendant of the fourth emperor.
Princess Wenhui said, "When the late emperor had not granted marriage, Ayue often came to the palace with me to pay my respects to my aunt and Empress Su."
Su The empress was kind and gentle, and treated A Yue very well.
A Yue also liked Empress Su very much.
After we got married, we kept our filial piety, and A-Yue didn't enter the palace for a few days.
Now that Empress Cao likes A-Yue, I'm naturally happy.
Here, A-Yue has two mothers-in-law.

I think of Empress Cao's temperament, but Some are quite strong."
Princess Wen Hui just said directly that Queen Mother Cao might not be able to live in peace with Queen Mother Su.
Originally, the affairs of the two empress dowagers had nothing to do with Princess Wenhui, but because the late emperor granted her a marriage, and her daughter would become a queen in the future, Princess Wenhui was extremely worried about her daughter.
Liu Yu said, "Ayue and Your Majesty are both young now, so there is no need to worry about these things.
Besides, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces do not have to listen to the Queen Mother.
When Ayue enters the palace, as long as she serves the Queen Mother well, there is no need to worry."
Princess Wen Hui said again and again, "My aunt's heart is really unparalleled."
Speaking of which, although Princess Wen Hui has always had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, her father, King Jin, had some, how should I put it, when he was young?
Everyone was young now, and the King of Jin, the eldest brother-in-law, had a quarrel with the Empress Dowager, who was the aunt.
Now that the Empress Dowager is taking such good care of Liu Yue, how can Princess Wen Hui not feel grateful?
The Liu family is full of gratitude to the Queen Mother, but the Su family is not as simple as Su Bing said.
Su Bing is a married granddaughter, so she has no access to the core of the family.
Mrs.
Su was discussing with her husband at this time, "Didn't you say that Miss Liu would be able to enter the palace and take charge of the palace affairs?
Why didn't she do it now?"
"I originally thought that Miss Liu's matter should be promoted by us or one of the princesses.
How can we get the Cao family to bring this matter up first?"
Su Buyu frowned, "check the family members."
Mrs.
Su's eyes changed slightly, "Master is saying that someone leaked the news."
Su Buyu snorted coldly, and then said, "The Queen Mother's rejection of this matter will not cause any serious harm to our queen."
"I heard from my niece-in-law that Empress Dowager Cao tried to win over Miss Liu in front of our mother-in-law."
"If the Liu family was easy to win over, I wouldn't marry his girl now."
Su Buyu said, "Be careful.
Empress Dowager Cao wants to win over the Liu family, and she will definitely make some moves next.
Women's Taoist families are nothing more than summoning Miss Liu comes to the palace to talk, or to give you something.
My queen has always been able to keep her composure, so let her take good care of herself.
I have my own explanation."
Mrs.
Su responded quickly.
Su's family was investigated inside and outside, and Su Buyu was sure that the information at home had been leaked.
However, he could not find out who leaked it for the time being, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
After all, Duke Cheng'en's Mansion also knows about this matter, so it can't be considered very confidential.
It's easy for him to investigate, but it's not easy for Duke Cheng'en's Palace to investigate.
Empress Dowager Cao's next behavior was just as Su Buyu expected.
Every now and then, she ordered people to take Liu Yue into the palace to talk.
She also gave her rewards from time to time, showing her kindness.
The Su family made a damaging move.
The Cao family has recently been willing to marry into the wealthy families of the imperial capital.
For example, just now the eldest grandson of the Cao family has chosen the granddaughter of the eldest princess Yongfu.
The Su family didn't do anything, except arrange for people to praise the Liu family's talents in front of the Cao family.
The Cao family has just married into the Yongfu Princess Palace, and there are many girls in the family waiting to be married.
When I think about it, the Liu family is a famous family in the imperial capital.
Liu Guogong, Liu Fufeng, has two titles, one is an earl and the other is a duke.
How decent is this?

and prominence.
In the imperial capital, the one that can be compared with the Liu family is the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the husband of the eldest princess Wenkang.
The Li family of Yong'an Marquis Mansion has two marquis titles.
The Cao family had previously intended to marry the Li family, but the Li family was so snobbish that they actually looked down on his family and refused the marriage.
The Cao family was holding their breath.
Now they thought of the Liu family and felt that they had a better future than the Li family.
Otherwise, Liu Yue would be the future queen.
Once Liu Yue takes the throne in the palace, according to the rules, the Liu family will definitely have another civilian.
The queen has always been His father must be granted the title of benefactor.
Therefore, when the Cao family thought about it, the Liu family was actually an excellent marriage partner.
In addition, Queen Mother Cao has been very close to Liu Yue in recent days.
Liu Yue, who is close to her, plans to pretend to be ill for a while.
She really can't bear to enter the palace.
The Cao family wanted to marry the Liu family, so they found a matchmaker.
When the matchmaker mentioned it, Liu Yu immediately said, "My father is still a filial piety, how can I say goodbye to my son at this time?"
If it hadn't been for the Cao family.
For the sake of His Majesty's mother-in-law, Liu Yu had to drive the matchmaker out, and just like that, he served tea to see off the guests with a bad face.
Princess Wen Hui is angry for some reason.
She is the princess of the royal family, and her son will be the heir to the earl in the future.
Even if Princess Wen Hui is looking for a daughter-in-law, she will also look for her daughter-in-law from a wealthy family.
Even if the Cao family is His Majesty's maternal family, Princess Wen Hui has never considered it.
His girls, not to mention Princess Wen Hui, had always been close to the Empress Dowager and emotionally inclined towards the Empress Dowager, so she did not like Empress Dowager Cao very much.
Furthermore, the Cao family came from a poor family.
Even though they were no longer poor now, and Earl Cao was also a second-grade governor, Princess Wenhui's vision was still impossible to seduce Cao's daughter.
Therefore, very angry.
The matchmaker replied to the Cao family and told them that Duke Liu was still in filial piety.
The Cao family also said, "Although Duke Liu is still in filial piety, Earl Liu has already shown filial piety.
What's more, the children of Earl Liu's family have also shown filial piety. " The matchmaker only hated herself for accepting this job happily, but not fully expecting it.
The matchmaker had a bitter look on his face and said, "Justice Liu Guo is so sad for the old lady that he wants to marry in front of her grave.
The Liu family seldom goes out to socialize.
It's my fault that I haven't thought everything through.
It's really not a big deal to mention it at this time."
It's appropriate."
People are really sad about the death of their elders, and observing filial piety is not just for show.
Grandfathers cannot keep their filial piety.
There is no such thing in the world when grandsons discuss marriage.
The Cao family was a little disappointed and had to wait until Liu Guogong paid homage before discussing the matter.
Liu Guogong's filial piety was quite fast.
Liu Guogong was observing filial piety for his grandmother, and the filial piety period lasted for one year.
When Liu Guogong completed his period of filial piety and resumed his duties as Minister of War, the Cao family had not yet mentioned the in-laws.
Princess Wenhui acted very quickly.
Princess Wenhui asked the eldest eldest son Changtai to act as a matchmaker and ask for the princess's hand in marriage for her eldest son.
The Empress Dowager smiled, "I have watched you and Ayu grow up, so I have nothing to worry about.
However, the eldest princess is still young, so I have to keep her in the palace for a few more years.
Don't be in a hurry. ” Seeing that the Empress Dowager agreed, Princess Wen Hui was very happy and said quickly, "Yes.

I just think that the eldest princess is really good.
I really like her.
I am afraid that if I don't speak first, someone will snatch her away.
Therefore, I asked the elder first."
Aunt Tai mentioned it to my aunt."
Since it was a happy event for the royal family, the Empress Dowager told her Majesty.
His Majesty also believed that the Liu family's family background was worthy of the princess, so he personally ordered the cabinet to prepare a decree for the marriage.
The Cao family had been planning on this matter for a long time, and the Liu family was not prepared to accept the title directly.
Not only did the Cao family's calculations fail, but the humiliation in terms of face made it difficult for Mrs.
Cao to resist chatting with the Queen Mother's daughter when she entered the palace.
The Empress Dowager Cao also knew about the marriage between her natal family and the Liu family.
The Empress Dowager Cao also did not expect that the Liu family would dare to do this.
The Empress Dowager Cao was so angry that she alienated Liu Yue ever since.
She also felt very sorry for her niece, and said to her mother, "I don't think that child A-Xuan is unlucky.
When mother is free, just bring A-Xuan into the palace to talk to me.
The emperor has to study and listen to politics every day, and I am here I have no one and am really lonely.”
Mrs.
Cao was overjoyed when she heard what the Queen Mother's daughter said and quickly agreed.
