Uncle Yao and Second Master Yao were very happy to be trusted by their mothers in this way, although this kind of trust was somewhat "indiscriminate".
But they know more than their wives, don't they?
Whether it is Uncle Yao or Second Master Yao, they all like the feeling of having a secret with their mother that only we know.
The two of them rejected Emperor Mingguang's plan to appoint officials. Not only did they not anger Emperor Mingguang, but they also made Emperor Mingguang appreciate them even more - such a loyal and religious person, no wonder they risked their whole family to kill smallpox.
The methods of prevention and treatment were left to him.
Emperor Mingguang subconsciously ignored that the Yao family only handed over the method of preventing and treating smallpox to the emperor, rather than pointing it out to him.
Anyway, he is the emperor now. What is the difference between leaving it to the emperor and leaving it to him?
What's more, Emperor Mingguang himself likes his subordinates to have such "loyalty to the emperor". Don't always think about the merits of serving the dragon, just teach him how to be loyal to the person in power. As for being loyal to his son, that has to wait.
When he gets old, he will give up his position to his son.
Emperor Mingguang talked with Mr. Yao and Mr. Yao for a long time.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Yu and others also summoned Gu Qingling, Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao Er, and their three legitimate children in the harem.
At this time, the harem was relatively harmonious. After all, the high-ranking concubines were relatively old and either had children or were no longer able to have children. Although the adult princes in the previous dynasty were secretly working hard to compete for the throne, they were still
It didn't make a big fuss, so it wouldn't be so ugly.
It wasn't the one that happened before, it was just a show "acted" by the Tian family father and son in order to bring out the Zhennan King's lineage.
At least, that's how it looks on the surface.
As for what the truth is, no one can tell.
No matter what, the Empress Dowager is the biological mother of Emperor Mingguang, so she naturally likes filial people. After hearing the news that Uncle Yao and Second Master Yao recommended a reward and were willing to exchange it for Mrs. Yao's "great destiny", she was very concerned about this.
Mrs. Yao was particularly pleasing to the eye after she raised two sons who were so filial.
When he saw Gu Qingling, he called him forward to ask questions.
Seeing that Gu Qingling looked so young, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment: Ah? You are not mistaken, isn't the countess a grandmother, and she is still so young?
Looking at Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao who were standing next to Gu Qingling, the Empress Dowager felt that either she had remembered wrongly and the count married a young wife, or the count married a second wife. Otherwise, how could she be the mother-in-law?
She looks about the same age as my daughter-in-law?
But who was the Empress Dowager? Even if she was surprised, she was as calm as a dog. She didn't show any signs of it. Instead, she held Gu Qingling's hand with a smile and said a few words of praise.
The current empress is not Emperor Mingguang’s Empress Yuan, but unfortunately, Empress Yuan left behind at least one princess, but this one has done nothing for many years, and her position is no longer so secure. If not for the
The Empress Dowager was pressing on top of her. Emperor Mingguang himself was not a ruthless and unjust person. This empress had been beaten down by countless people.
Because she had no children, the queen also followed the "dignified" and most virtuous path. When she saw Gu Qingling's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she said a few words with a measured smile at the corner of her mouth,
It's hard to find any mistakes.
But also because of this, this queen seems a little unreal.
Gu Qingling also replied politely, not letting anyone find any fault.
However, it is Concubine Yu. As a beloved concubine, she is obviously much more high-profile, has a gorgeous appearance, a bright smile, and is much bolder in her speech.
What's more, this time the Yao family gave the eldest prince's palace such a great contribution, Concubine Yu was also very happy. In addition to the empress dowager and the queen, they rewarded the Yao family with many things. They also went to the eldest prince's palace and rewarded them like running water.
learned a lot of things.
Therefore, when she saw the two sisters Yao Anxin and Yao Anling, Concubine Yu also said a lot of nice things, praising the two sisters for their virtuous and virtuous nature. From the first glance, they looked like a virtuous wife. She didn’t know which family she would end up with.
Come on; when you are young, you are praised for your cleverness and cuteness, but when you grow up, you are a delicate flower, and you are very lovable.
Anyway, the two sisters were praised by her, which cast a halo around them, and they could almost walk around in the capital circle - someone who has been praised by the royal family, how dare you say that she is not good?
This is the unspoken rule.
When she heard that the Yao family had opened Baixiang Pavilion to help people take care of their skin, Concubine Yu showed a surprised expression, looked at Gu Qingling and said: "Really? Your essential oil Zhenzi is really that magical? Have you used it yourself? I feel sorry for you.
She takes good care of her skin and is almost as good as a 28-year-old girl. It really makes people jealous..."
Then he turned around with a smile and said to the Empress Dowager, "Mother, did you hear that? I have good things in my hands. No wonder when their family came in, I noticed that their girl's skin was so good. So good.
How could I miss things? My stepmother and daughter-in-law don’t care, but my daughter-in-law has to beg for something from Mrs. Yao. You can’t blame your daughter-in-law for acting like a shabby household and just trying to steal other people’s things. At worst, there are good things when you see them.
When my daughter-in-law tries it out and finds it useful, she will also give her mother a share."
"You... you are still living in poverty. I don't know how much you have taken from the good things here in the Ai family." The Empress Dowager still liked this daughter-in-law quite a lot, and she smiled and nodded at Concubine Yu from the air.
Forehead, "The Ai family don't dare to ask for those good things of yours. The Ai family is afraid that if they do, the Ai family's things will be emptied out by you."
"Mother, how can you say that to your daughter-in-law? My daughter-in-law doesn't obey..." Although Concubine Yu is much older, she is still very good at acting coquettishly in front of the Queen Mother. She acted coquettishly for a while, which made her already happy.
The Empress Dowager was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing.
There was a burst of laughter in the room. With a smile on her lips, the Queen helped the Empress Dowager and said a few words to Concubine Yu, saying that she was "helping her relatives but not helping her". If someone was unhappy, she would bother the Empress Dowager for the sake of her "helping her relatives".
For the sake of "not helping me", say more nice words for her.
Concubine Yu smiled and pretended to tickle the queen, saying that she had been bullied by the queen and wanted to take revenge.
With such a happy and happy look, if someone who didn't know saw it, they would really think that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a very good relationship.
But Gu Qingling knew that the relationship between the Queen and Concubine Yu was not so good from the beginning. After all, when she was young, the Queen did not expect that she would not be able to give birth. At that time, she still held on to the idea that the Crown Prince would come out of her belly.
It's a pity that the queen was so strong all her life, but she couldn't ask for a prince to come out of her belly.
Later, she had no choice but to find someone to form an alliance with.
The queen formed an alliance with others, so naturally it was impossible to form an alliance with a high-ranking concubine. The first thing she looked for was that the position was not obvious, but she had a son in her hand, and the son was still young, so she could still intervene in his training. Because the prince was still young, and the queen was not up to it.
Entering the prince's battle for the throne, he naturally needs a temporary ally.
After much picking and choosing, the queen selected a smart person - Concubine Yu. As a high-ranking concubine, she gave birth to the eldest prince. She was as stable as a mountain and was favored by Emperor Mingguang for so many years.
