The Empress Dowager spent her days in Ci'an Palace, and rarely inquired about the affairs of the court.
Because she is too old, and Emperor Yongtai is not an emperor at the mercy of others, from the masters of the palaces to Lan Niang and others in front of her, they all report good news and not bad news.
It was a good thing that several princes were crowned kings, but because the second prince was missed, no one dared to go to the queen mother to report the good news, for fear of making her angry.
After Empress Pei handed over the power to take charge of the harem, she didn't want to care about these things for a short time.
Even on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, she didn't want to get her hands dirty at all, and she was thinking about how to get a city back.
However, it backfired, and the princes' crowning of kings completely angered her.
The title of a prince was not in her eyes, but she was angry that Emperor Yongtai had done it so ruthlessly.
Where is this husband and wife, father and son are clearly enemies, enemies who do not share the sky Her life is not easy, and Emperor Yongtai doesn't want to stop The day before the birthday, Ci'an Palace was very lively.
Lan Niang took the palace people to try on makeup for the Queen Mother, and several princesses who rarely appeared together on weekdays also rushed to have fun.
It's not that the princesses don't like to flatter the queen mother, but their biological mothers are not high, and there are few times when they are together without fighting, and even their sisters have no feelings at all, and they will become black-eyed chickens when they meet.
So even if she asked the Queen Mother to accompany her to work, the princesses also came and went, for fear of upsetting the Queen Mother and feeling aggrieved.
Princess Ruihua's biological mother is Tang Xiuyi, one of the nine concubines, and she has always lived by hugging Queen Pei's thighs. got the instructions of Empress Pei, and asked their mother and daughter to find an opportunity to mention the matter of the prince being crowned king in front of the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager loves Yu Wenheng the most, once she learns what happened to him, she will definitely make trouble with Emperor Yongtai, even if she can't give Yu Wenheng back a princely title, she will give Emperor Yongtai a headache.
Princess Ruihua was very embarrassed, it was clear that the queen mother was using her, in case she really made the queen mother angry, she and Tang Xiuyi didn't want to settle down.
After all, the crime is too big.
But when she thought of the benefits promised by the queen mother, her heart couldn't stop beating faster.
Mrs.
Hou Shizi of Wuning, there are dozens or hundreds of noble ladies in Xiao Xiang, including several sisters who have reached the marriageable age, who have not had this dream Not to mention that the Pei family is high-powered, full of wealth and wealth, just looking at Pei Jincheng, the son of the Marquis of Wuning, who is handsome and chic, and has a good character, who doesn't want to marry such an excellent husband People will encounter all kinds of opportunities in their lives, but the most critical thing is only once or twice, and if you catch it, you will have a lifetime of pain if you can't grasp it, and she must not miss it.
Of course, Princess Ruihua is not stupid, so she will not run to the Queen Mother and tell her about the princes being crowned kings.
The girls who grew up in the deep palace know how to find opportunities to use others to achieve their own goals.
So there was this fun on the day before the Queen Mother's birthday.
"The dress of the emperor's great-grandmother is more expensive than the queen mother of Yaochixi."
"Yes, let's get a little more of the blessing of the emperor's great-grandmother."
"Imperial Great-Grandmother" Princesses, you say a word to me, the Queen Mother smiled so much that her mouth couldn't close together, and her well-maintained old face also smiled with deep wrinkles.
She patted the little hand of Princess Ruihua, who was closest to her, and said to Lan Niang: "These monkeys are very popular, and when they all recruit horses to marry out of the palace, the old lady of the mourning family will have no one to accompany them." ” Lan Niang smiled: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, the princesses have recruited horses, and the little princesses and little princesses have grown up one after another, and there has been a lot of excitement around you." ” Hearing her mention the little county lords, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of the great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters who were less than a year old in the prince's mansion.
She smiled and sighed: "Girl Lin, their children are too young, and it is inconvenient to carry them into the palace from time to time to show the mourning family, and it is strange to think about it, and I don't know how big those little guys have grown." ” Lan Niang said: "Niangniang is anxious, Ming'er's little emperor and grandson and the little county lord will come to pay your birthday to you." ” Princess Ruihua covered her mouth and smiled: "Imperial great-grandmother, the former sister Ruiying also went to the palace of the four emperor brothers on the order of Concubine Shu, and asked her to tell us whether Brother Cheng has grown up again." ” Princess Ruiying is naturally not stupid, but she didn't realize that Princess Ruihua was deliberately setting up a trap for her, seeing the Queen Mother's old eyes looking at her, where could she bear to refuse.
She smiled and said: "Imperial great-grandmother, Brother Cheng is so cute, and I like the fourth imperial sister-in-law to read to him the most." ” Princess Ruihua pinched her lightly: "You are talking nonsense again, how old can a person understand the study of the fourth emperor's sister-in-law" Princess Ruiying pouted and said: "Who is talking nonsense, don't look at Brother Cheng'er is only half a year old and is lively on weekdays, every time the fourth sister-in-law reads to him, he doesn't make trouble, a pair of eyes look directly at the fourth sister-in-law, and it is very exciting to hear, on the first day of junior high school, they also joked that if it weren't for Brother Cheng'er's age, they would simply ask Feng Shizi directly." ” The corners of Princess Ruihua's mouth curled, don't look at the Empress Dowager is old, but she is not stupid and shrewd at all.
Ruiying is fast-talking, but she leaked the stuffing as soon as she was introduced, and what the queen mother asked her to do was done.
Princess Ruiying said happily, not realizing that she had leaked her mouth.
Only those who have a title need to ask for the prince, where is the prince in the prince's mansion.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager immediately discovered the flaw in her words and asked: "When did your father knight the princes?"
Princess Ruiying regretted it and hated to bite her tongue off.
Concubine Shu and her mother have repeatedly explained to her that she doesn't know how many times, and she is not allowed to talk nonsense in front of the Queen Mother, what is she Ruihua, this damn thing, deliberately designed her The other princesses also lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
The Empress Dowager laughed angrily and said: "Even if the mourning family is a tiger, it is a tiger whose teeth have fallen out, what are you afraid of one by one, Lan Niang is also, it is a great joy for the prince to be crowned king, why hide it from the mourning family" Lan Niang hurriedly replied: "The slave didn't plan to hide it from you, I just wanted to wait for your birthday."
The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Lan Niang, I haven't seen anything at the age of the mourning family, if it's really a good thing, you won't be like this, is there something wrong with the children?"
Lan Niang had no choice but to explain the matter roughly.
The Empress Dowager curled up her thin hands and said softly: "Ruihua, you sisters should go back first, great-grandmother is tired and wants to rest." ” Where did the princesses dare to stay, they saluted and left.
"Lan Niang, go and call the queen."
The Empress Dowager commanded.
She knew that only Emperor Yongtai and Empress Pei knew about this matter, and the emperor was probably unwilling to explain it to her, so he could only ask the empress.
Lan Niang knew that she couldn't stop it, so she responded: "Yes, Niangniang." ” Empress Pei had been waiting in Fengxiang Palace for a long time, and when she saw that Lan Niang was really here, she secretly said that Ruihua was really reliable.
She exchanged a few words with Lan Niang and went to Ci'an Palace together. t1706231537:
