"Although the Ai family is old, they are not so dim that they cannot distinguish who is right from wrong. Concubine Zhe is the biological mother of the eldest brother, so it is not surprising that she would have such thoughts. Unfortunately, she does not know how to act within her ability.
Character."
Xianyue glanced at Ling Ruo quickly and said, "In the pavilion just now, I could see that although the second elder brother was younger, he was far smarter and more polite than the older elder brother. When compared with Orange, although Shuiyue was
servant, but because of the friendship between Shui Yue and him, he will still give it to Shui Yue. I believe that given time, the second elder brother will definitely inherit the emperor's great cause and become another British leader of the Qing Dynasty."
"Yong Lian is only five years old. It's too early to say anything about this. There may be a prince who is more outstanding than him. We in the Qing Dynasty have always favored the virtuous rather than the senior. And...if this word spreads,
I wonder what kind of trouble will happen in this palace."
Xianyue heard the words and said quickly: "What Huang's mother said is that it was my son who made a mistake."
"The Ai family secretly gave Concubine Zhe a beating this time by admiring the chrysanthemums, but whether she can listen to it or not is beyond the control of the Ai family. In the future, you should pay more attention to her, or you may actually do it.
Please tell the Ai family in time about what happened in the past, but don’t spread it to the Ai family through other people’s mouths again, you know?”
"I know." Xianyue agreed quickly. If you look carefully, you will find a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead. If Xianyue was just in awe of Ling Ruo before, now she is afraid.
This Niu Hulu family, in thirty years of fighting with her aunt, has honed her excellent mind and insight, and can see through anyone who plays tricks in front of her.
After walking for a while, they arrived at Cining Palace. Ling Ruo did not go to the main hall, but came to the Buddhist hall. As soon as Xianyue stepped in, she could smell the sandalwood incense. Sanfu was adding sandalwood to the incense burner.
Xiang, when he saw Ling Ruo coming in, he saluted quickly and then stepped aside.
A white jade statue of Guanyin stood on the altar, and the smoke rose up. While the face of Guanyin was blurred, it also made people feel the compassion of Guanyin more and more. For a moment, Xianyue was almost fascinated by the sight.
After coming back to her senses, she took a closer look and said: "The carving of the jade Guanyin of Huang'e Niang is extremely delicate, and the compassion of Guanyin is completely presented through the carving knife?"
"The Ai family doesn't know that Guanyin was sent by the emperor." Ling Ruo looked at the Guanyin statue behind the light smoke and murmured: "Since the late emperor passed away, the Ai family can only feel good when they look at this Guanyin statue.
Really calm down.”
Xianyue thought for a while and tentatively said: "If the Queen does not dislike it, how about my son and I often come here to accompany you to pay homage to the Buddha and copy Buddhist scriptures?"
Ling Ruo said rather unexpectedly: "It's good that you have this intention, but you are still young and may not be able to calm down. You don't have to force yourself to agree with Ai Jia."
Xianyue said quickly: "Empress Huang has misunderstood. I feel that I am often upset and can't calm down, so I said this. Please enlighten me."
Ling Ruo thought for a while and said: "In that case, you can come here tomorrow to accompany me and worship the Buddha."
Xianyue felt happy and said quickly: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"It's getting late, you should go back first." After Xianyue bowed and left, Ling Ruo sighed for no reason, and Shui Xiu whispered: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Ruo looked at the closed palace door and said with a complex expression: "If Concubine Xian... wasn't named Nala, everything might be a lot better."
"The Queen Mother is worried that because of the abolition of the Queen, she has resentment towards you and the Emperor, and even...does she intend to harm you?" Faced with Shuixiu's words, Ling Ruo shook her head and said: "That's not true, but if she If she is not a woman from the Nala clan, her situation will be much better. Shuixiu, even the Ai family themselves find it hard to believe that the Ai family just thought... that she is more suitable to be the queen than Mingyu."
Shui Xiu was extremely surprised. She didn't know what to say for a moment, but San Fu said: "With Concubine Xian's scheming and ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is suitable to be a queen."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Mingyu... is certainly a pure, kind and virtuous queen, but she has a soft ear and doesn't have too much guard against others. It is easy for her to suffer losses in this harem."
Sanfu said with relief: "With the Queen Mother and the Emperor protecting her, no one in the harem dares to do anything to the Queen."
"The most terrifying thing about the disaster in the palace is that it is impossible to prevent it. The Ai family does not have as much confidence as you." At this point, Ling Ruo sighed again: "Every time I think of it, the Ai family is worried about her and Yonglian. If If it had been Nala Xianyue, the Ai family wouldn't have so many worries."
While they were talking, Shui Xiu thought carefully for a while and said: "Queen Mother, in fact, Concubine Xian has been quite content in the dormitory these years. Why don't you bring her over and let her help the Empress run the harem?" "
Ling Ruo sneered: "Do you think she will be willing to be inferior to others?"
"With all due respect, slave, this is not something she is willing to do, but it must be so. This is also her only way out. I can see that Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhe are not content with their current status. Concubine Xian has no family. Ke Yi, it cannot be said that she is very favored by the emperor. If she refuses, sooner or later, she will be stepped on by the two of them. The Queen Mother said that Concubine Xian is a smart person, and I believe she will weigh the pros and cons carefully. "
"What you said makes some sense. Let's observe it for a while before talking." After saying this, Ling Ruo knelt down in front of the Guanyin statue with his palms clasped together, and amidst the ubiquitous sandalwood, he tried to accumulate blessings and seek virtue for Yinzhen. , hoping that he would be free from illness and disaster in the next life, be reborn in a good family, and not be as tired as he was in this life. She has been doing this every day since Yinzhen's death.
Let's also say that after Mrs. Gao returned to Jingren Palace, she threw the silk in her hand on the table with hatred, her face was so tense that the palace people did not dare to approach, for fear of offending her.
Wenzhu took the tea cup from the palace servant, handed it to Gao, and said softly: "Master, please use tea."
Gao Shi glanced at her angrily and said: "How can I be in the mood to drink tea now? This Queen Mother doesn't know what's going on. It's not like she doesn't know the relationship between Nala Xianyue and the deposed Queen, and she still treats her So much attention is paid to me, but I am the one who pleases you everywhere, but fails in everything. It is really annoying to think about it."
"Master is so angry. It only hurts his own body, so why bother!" Wenzhu put the tea cup aside and said, "Besides, I don't think the Queen Mother really values Concubine Xian."
Mr. Gao was startled and blurted out: "Why do you say this?"
"This slave has been following the master just now. I remember clearly that the Queen Mother never paid attention to Concubine Xian, but when she left, she called Concubine Xian. I guessed that the Queen Mother had something to say to her. Besides, Master Think about it carefully, the deposed queen has been fighting with the queen mother all her life, and she has harmed the emperor several times. How can the queen mother think highly of Concubine Xian? No matter how Concubine Xian cleans up her relationship with the Nala clan, her surname cannot be changed. With the blood flowing in her body. To put it mildly, she is the Concubine Xian in the palace, but to put it worse, she is a sinner, what qualifications does she have to be promoted by the Queen Mother."
