"Others, please look for more opportunities to let the emperor favor you more. Later, the Ai family will discuss with the emperor whether the rule of replenishing soup should be removed. The Ai family should also have a grandson..." The Queen Mother's
The implication is obvious, the more times one is favored, the greater the chance of conceiving an heir.
"Aunt, you also said that you were not helping Nangong Yuming. She was just favored by the emperor last night. If you want to have a dragon heir, isn't she the most likely?" Yu Wen Xueyi couldn't help but said angrily.
.
"Xueyi, you should learn to grow up. Look at Concubine Ming, from the moment she was scratched by the fragment of your teacup, she has never even cried out in pain." The Queen Mother reminded Yuwen Xueyi lightly,
If she didn't want to vent her anger, why should she turn a blind eye to Concubine Ming's injury from just now. Alas, when will this Xueyi grow up? Keeping her and her eldest brother to take care of her is not a long-term solution after all.
"Xueyi, do you remember what you promised your aunt when you first entered the palace?" The Queen Mother took Yuwen Xueyi's hand and patted it gently, reminding her that a little impatience would ruin a big plan.
"Aunt,..." I was just angry for a moment. Well, let Nangong Yuming get some advantages at this time. Anyway, it will not be so easy for her to get the emperor's favor in the future. Not to mention that my aunt will help.
She, even if the emperor is usually exposed to rain and dew, her turn, Nangong Jade Ming's, is not so easy. Yu Wen Xueyi was secretly proud.
"Concubine Ming, Concubine Xue is still young, so please be patient with her." The Queen Mother smiled and said to Nangong Yuming.
"It's okay, Queen Mother. I know that Concubine Xue lost her composure temporarily because she was too nervous about the emperor. I can understand her sincerely." Nangong Yuming said to Yuwen Xueyi and the Queen Mother in a humble manner. At this time,
She resisted the gash in her hand that was cut by the broken teacup and spoke such generous and decent words. No one could find fault with them. However, these few sentences were brief, but they also made her unable to help herself.
Cold sweat.
"Okay, very good. Seeing the harmony in the harem, the Ai family is relieved. The other concubines should also learn more from Concubine Ming. Only then can you win the favor of the emperor when you serve the emperor in the future." The queen mother still smiled and talked to the other concubines.
Said.
After saying that, the Queen Mother took a stick of ointment from the hand of the palace maid and said to Nangong Yuming: "Ming'er, look at the injury on your hand, it won't be healed in a while. Even if it is healed,
Yes, there may be unsightly scars on this hand." The Queen Mother said, secretly observing Nangong Yuming's reaction, but she still looked calm.
The Queen Mother continued: "Don't worry, Aijia is also a woman, so she naturally understands what is most important to us. I will give you this ice cream. Apply it three times every morning, noon and evening. When applying the ointment, remember to put it on your hands.
Clean the wound. I believe that soon your hands will be as white and smooth as before."
Ice cream! Xishu only pays tribute to this holy healing medicine once a year, and each time it pays tribute, there is only a small tube. Now, the Queen Mother gives one to Nangong Jade Tea. I have to say, this Nangong Jade Tea is really good.
Luck. Looking at Nangong Yuming's treatment, all the beauties couldn't help but look at the ice cream in the Queen Mother's hand with red eyes.
"I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness." Nangong Yuming took the ice cream and handed it over to her maid to take care of it.
"Well, take good care of yourself. Apart from Xueyi, you are the one who is most favored by the Aijia among those above the level of harem concubine." The Queen Mother said, and then waved to Yuwen Xueyi to come over. "Xueyi, make good amends to Ming'er.
Sin, let this matter be over." The eyes looking at Yu Wen Xueyi were full of warning.
"I'm sorry, Concubine Ming. What happened just now was because the teacup was too hot and I couldn't hold it, so I threw it out. I didn't expect it to hurt you..." Yuwen Xueyi, who was unwilling to say so, said
She was beautiful, but the sincerity in her words was ordinary.
"It's okay, Concubine Xue. I know you are also in a hurry. We are all sisters, so there is no need to make the situation so serious. Besides, the Queen Mother just returned the concubine's ice cream, which is a blessing in disguise for me. Speaking of which, I
I also want to thank you." Nangong Yuming said in a dignified and decent manner, generous and tolerant.
"Haha, isn't that great? Your Majesty has to take care of many things every day. This harem matter is a trivial matter. But you can't disturb your Majesty by rumors of discord. Do you understand?" the Queen Mother said in a reasonable tone.
Said to the concubines.
"I respectfully follow the teachings of the Queen Mother." Everyone answered in unison.
"Well, very good. It's getting late, and the Ai family will go back. If you still want to keep it here, then bring it with you. It's also good to see more of the spring scenery that is not long left in the imperial garden."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she stood up with the help of the palace maid and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, she told Yuwen Xueyi that she should go to Cining Palace. After that, accompanied by the palace servants, she walked in the direction of Cining Palace.
Cining Palace.
"Aunt, why did you give the ice cream to Nangong Yuming? You clearly know that I have been looking for you for the ice cream for a long time..." Yuwen Xueyi's tone was full of contentment.
"Xue'er, when will you become sensible?" The Queen Mother helplessly looked at the angry expression on Yuwen Xueyi's face. It is really not a good thing to be so moody and angry.
"Aunt, what are you afraid of? You are the Queen Mother, my father is the current Taiwei, and I am the Emperor's Concubine Xue. In this palace, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Why do you need to follow so many rules?"
Yuwen Xueyi disagreed. She felt that the current Queen Mother was simply worrying in vain.
"You kid, why are you still having such a careless attitude? If you continue like this, not to mention your position as queen, even your position as noble concubine will probably be given up to others." The Queen Mother spoke alarmingly, and Yu Wen Xueyi was helpless.
It doesn't even reach my ears.
"Aunt, what you said is a bit too serious. No matter what happens, there is no way I will lose my position as a noble concubine." Yuwen Xueyi continued to disagree.
"You... that's all. You should take care of yourself and don't do anything you regret." Seeing that Yu Wen Xueyi refused to listen, the Queen Mother had no choice but to let her go. She just hoped that she would not cause too much trouble.
.
"Aunt, don't worry. Having said that, aunt, you haven't answered my question yet. Why did you give the ice cream to Nangong Yuming? Aunt, you know that I hate her..." Yu Wen Xueyi's face was filled with grievances.
Said.
"Xue Yi, do you know the principle that 'a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'? Now in the palace, you, Yu Ming, and Nalan Jinhong are the only three concubines who are above the noble concubine, and Nalan Jinhong because of him
Because my father is the prime minister, we can't touch her for the time being. Yuming and you, one is my cousin and the other is my biological niece. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. It's hard for me to choose between my aunt." The Queen Mother.
She couldn't help but close her eyes. After some mental struggle, she opened her eyes again and continued: "But we are all daughters of the Yuwen family. Naturally, we should give priority to the interests of the Yuwen family in everything. That's why I treat you
More indulgent than Yu Ming." Seeing that Yu Wen Xueyi was a little impatient, the Queen Mother ignored her and continued: "War in the harem is always cruel. Even if you don't hurt anyone, there will still be people who want to do it.
My own interests will harm you. So, here, you must take the initiative to learn how to use means to get everything you want. And Yuming, I am here to let you, when you are still a fledgling, take advantage of others' treatment of you.
The target is shifted to her as a way to protect you."
"Aunt, why do I need Nangong Yuming to protect me? You underestimate me too much." Yuwen Xueyi said dissatisfied.
"Xue Yi, you haven't been in the palace for a long time, and after all, Yu Ming has been here a few years longer than you. In this harem, she knows how to survive better than you. You should learn more from her." The Queen Mother said.
She looked at Yuwen Xueyi with hopeful eyes, hoping that she would have an epiphany under her explanation. Unfortunately, Yuwen Xueyi, under the connivance of herself and the lieutenant, had already become a willful and reckless person, and could not listen at all.
Get advice from others bit by bit.
"Aunt, it's getting late, I want to go back first." Yuwen Xueyi yawned after listening to the Queen Mother's words in boredom.
"Well, in that case, you should go back first. Remember, after you go back, think carefully about what I said to you today." The Queen Mother did not forget to remind you.
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand." Yuwen Xueyi responded hurriedly, and left Cining Palace as if fleeing for safety.
"Sigh, seeing Xueyi like this, I don't know how long our Yuwen family can enjoy the honor..." The Queen Mother looked at the background of Yuwen Xueyi's departure and murmured to herself. After a while, she came back to her senses.
, she has put Yuwen Xueyi’s matter aside. Everyone has their own destiny. For Xueyi, she has done her best, thinking that she is worthy of the instructions of her brother and sister-in-law. As for the emperor, it is time to have a good talk with him about the heir.
problem.
The Queen Mother thought carefully, made up her mind, and sent someone to invite the Emperor to have dinner at Cining Palace.
In the evening, after Jun Moli and the Queen Mother had dinner together, the Queen Mother talked intentionally or unintentionally about some things that happened when the late Emperor was here.
"Your Majesty, do you know how old the late Emperor was when he ascended the throne?" The Queen Mother glanced at Jun Moli and asked calmly.
"Well," although she didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant, Jun Moli still answered politely: "The late emperor should have ascended the throne when he was 15 years old." One of the most famous emperors in ancient and modern times was his father.
.
"Yes, the late emperor ascended the throne at the age of 15, and had the eldest prince at the age of 16. Although the eldest prince unfortunately died young, fortunately, the princes were born one after another, which also made up for the late emperor's feelings about the eldest prince.
The grief of premature death." The Queen Mother slowly led Jun Moli to what she wanted to say.
