"The Ai family always thinks about him, but he doesn't appreciate it. Why doesn't he think about the heavy burden on his shoulders? Does he want to only pamper the Qin family all his life?" The more Empress Dowager Guo thought about it, the more headache she got.
Seeing that Queen Mother Guo had a headache, Nianyun stepped forward to help Queen Mother Guo massage her head. She comforted her softly: "The Emperor has just ascended the throne. Don't be impatient. Doing too much now will make the Emperor unhappy. It's better to wait for a while, Your Majesty."
Think about it yourself, and there is no rush to bring up the draft at that time."
Judging from the emperor's attitude just now, we can tell that the emperor does not like the Queen Mother's interference in his harem affairs. The Emperor is a powerful person, and the best policy is for the Queen Mother to lower her posture at this time.
Queen Mother Guo thought about it and felt that Nianyun's words made sense: "Rong Ai, let's think about it."
Nianyun then waited silently by Qin Zhao's side, and Cihe Palace became quiet.
In the evening of that day, Queen Mother Guo made a special trip to Yangxin Hall and had dinner there.
During the dinner, Queen Mother Guo said nothing, and Xiao Ce also remained silent. The mother and son had dinner quietly, and no one spoke first.
After dinner, Queen Mother Guo dismissed everyone and said: "The original intention of the Ai family is not to interfere with your harem affairs, but you are not young and have no heirs. A Ce, the Ai family only hopes that
You think more about Daqi. As the emperor, you have a heavy burden, and you must not let go of the matter of passing on the family line. You have been sensible, calm and self-possessed since you were a child, and you are stubborn. But now that you are the king, you must stand on the king's side.
Consider the issue from perspective..."
Queen Mother Guo said many great truths, but Xiao Ce said nothing, which made Queen Mother Guo very angry.
But this time she didn't lose her temper.
She also knows what her son's temperament is. If she is tough, he will be tougher than her. If she lowers her attitude, he will soften.
He hadn't said anything before, but I hoped he would listen.
"Don't be involved with government affairs all day long. Take a break when you should. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should take care of yourself for the people who care about you. The Ai family is getting older, and I don't know when I can take care of you.
Father has gone..."
Xiao Ce frowned when he heard this: "Mother, please don't say such unlucky words."
Seeing that he finally spoke, Queen Mother Guo also laughed: "The Ai family still remembers that you didn't like to talk when you were a child. You were only a few years old at that time. In the blink of an eye, you were so old, but your father was gone.
Looking back now, what the Ai family valued most was your father, but they ignored your feelings. This is all the mother's fault."
"What happened in the past is in the past, and there is no need to mention it anymore, mother." Xiao Ce said softly.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention it. The Ai family will go back to Cihe Palace right now, so don't be too late." Queen Mother Guo stood up as she spoke.
Xiao Ce stepped forward to help her and asked Zhang Jixiang to escort Queen Mother Guo back to Cihe Palace.
This time Empress Dowager Guo returned to Cihe Palace and was in a very good mood.
Nianyun saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "My slave said that the emperor will accept soft things rather than hard words. The emperor must have listened to what the empress said today. This is better than forcing people into the harem."
"Yes, it was rare for A Ce to have a few more words with the Ai family. The child was stubborn when he was a child, and he is still the same when he grows up." The smile on Queen Mother Guo's face couldn't be stopped.
Nianyun nodded frequently in agreement: "The Emperor's temperament is like that of the Empress, and I have noticed it a long time ago. The Empress has not had a good rest these days because of the Emperor's affairs, and I can finally have a good sleep today."
Empress Dowager Guo was in a good mood, and her voice was brisk: "Go to bed early today. Let the imperial chef make a tonic soup tomorrow and send it to the Nourishing Heart Hall. A Ce is tired from day and night, so he must take care of his body."
"No need to worry about it, slave." Nianyun responded hurriedly.
For several days, Cihe Palace ordered people to deliver nourishing soup to Yangxin Palace.
The mother-son relationship between Queen Mother Guo and the new emperor has also visibly eased.
Qin Zhao had no expression after receiving the news.
It's not that she is vicious and doesn't want the relationship between Xiao Ce and the Queen Mother Guo to ease, but that the Queen Mother Guo is not kind to her. The relationship between the Queen Mother Guo and Xiao Ce has eased, and when Xiao Ce faces the conflict between her and the Queen Mother Guo,
It will be a dilemma.
At this moment, Nianyun suddenly came to Jinyang Palace and said that she was ordered by Queen Mother Guo to go to Cihe Palace.
"Miss Qin, there is no need to worry. The Queen Mother came to see you because she has something to say to Miss Qin." As if seeing Qin Zhao's hesitation, Nianyun added another sentence.
Seeing what she said, Qin Zhao couldn't refuse, so he responded: "Since it is the Queen Mother's order, I dare not disobey it. Please lead the way."
When Xiao Linzi saw Qin Zhao following Nianyun, he hurriedly went to Yangxin Hall to report the matter to Zhang Jixiang.
When Xiao Ce heard that Qin Zhao had been sent to Cihe Palace again, he felt uneasy and went to Cihe Palace as well.
That day, Qin Zhao entered Cihe Palace and met with the Queen Mother as usual. Queen Mother Guo seemed to be in a good mood, and her face was not as dark as before when she faced her.
"Sit down." Queen Mother Guo said to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao sat down as instructed.
Anyway, she didn't believe that Queen Mother Guo would suddenly let go of her prejudice against her, and she was very calm when facing Queen Mother Guo.
"The Ai family has thought clearly in the past two days. Since A Ce likes you, the Ai family should also let go of their prejudice against you. From now on, you should serve A Ce well and supervise him not to neglect government affairs, let alone just care about the government affairs.
My own body." Empress Dowager Guo said seriously.
"Yes, the Queen Mother." Qin Zhao responded politely.
Queen Mother Guo looked up and down at Qin Zhao's sitting posture.
At this time, she had to admit that Qin Zhao had learned etiquette very well, had a good demeanor, and had a good aura.
After that, Queen Mother Guo chatted with Qin Zhao from time to time. When Xiao Ce came over, Queen Mother Guo even joked: "Do you think the Ai family is going to embarrass her again?"
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao, who gave him a curved smile: "The Queen Mother just told me some interesting things about the emperor's childhood, and asked me to serve the emperor well."
Only then did Xiao Ce feel relieved.
"That's all, since you're here, just take him back." Queen Mother Guo waved her hand.
In this way, Qin Zhao followed Xiao Ce out of Cihe Palace.
Seeing Xiao Ce hesitate to speak, Qin Zhao said: "The Queen Mother did not make things difficult for me. According to my temperament, I will definitely speak out when I am wronged. The Queen Mother said she had figured it out and said that the Emperor likes me, so she just
You can love Ujiwu and let go of your prejudice against me."
Xiao Ce's remaining doubts disappeared after hearing this: "I'm afraid that my mother will make things difficult for you again."
Qin Zhao pursed his lips and smiled and said no more.
There were some things she couldn't say. For example, Queen Mother Guo shook hands with her to make peace, not because she let go of her prejudice against her, but because she wanted to win Xiao Ce's heart.
Or perhaps Empress Dowager Guo thought that the conflict with Xiao Ce could be resolved by using another method.
To be honest, Queen Mother Guo's move of retreating in order to advance was so good that even she felt inferior to it.
Qin Zhao did not go to Yangxin Palace, but returned to Jinyang Palace.
