Yongxun called Yang Hai, and immediately said seriously: "My grandson doesn't want rewards. My grandson only wants the imperial grandmother to be healthy and free from illness and pain. I will watch my grandson go to the court to handle errands, share the worries of the emperor, and contribute to the Qing Dynasty."
Ling Ruo said with a smile: "Is it enough to just share your worries and contribute to the Qing Dynasty?"
Yongxun blinked in confusion and said blankly: "What else?"
Xianyue chuckled from the side and said, "What your imperial grandmother looks forward to most is to see you get married and have children."
Hearing this, Yongxing blushed and said to Ling Ruo with some embarrassment: "My grandson is still young and has never thought about those things."
Ling Ruo clapped his hand and said: "When you open your teeth and build a palace, the Imperial Grandmother will personally select a woman with both talent and beauty for you to be your direct descendant Fujin!"
Yong Cun's face turned redder and redder, and he didn't know what to say. At this moment, a palace official walked in, lowered his hand and said: "Please report to the Queen Mother, someone from the Criminal Department is here to report."
There was a glint in Ling Ruo's eyes, and she patted Yong Cang's hand and said, "Follow Yang Hai to get that set of mechanical dolls, and then see if there's anything you like in the warehouse, just take it."
After Yong Xun left as promised, Ling Ruo stared at the palace servant and said, "But Qiao Yan'er is dead?"
"When I return to the Queen Mother, it is true that Qiao Yan'er died early this morning and was tortured by a total of 11,109 knives."
"Okay!" Ling Ruo said the word slowly and said coldly: "It has given her one more year to live."
Xianyue said softly: "For Qiao Yan'er, she may not want to live one more year." Although she has never seen it with her own eyes, she can still imagine Qiao Yan'er's tragic situation. In eleven years, she was cut off from her body.
Even if he was stabbed more than a thousand times, there was not a single piece of intact flesh left on his body, which was even more terrifying than the punishment of Lingchi recorded in the laws of the Qing Dynasty.
Ling Ruo said coldly: "She deserves all of this. Unfortunately, eleven years is the limit. Otherwise, the Ai family would have wanted her to suffer a few more years of punishment." After that, she softened her tone and said, "The emperor is the one who deserves it.
Are you in good health now? Are there any side effects of the medicine?"
Xianyue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Emperor's Mother. Your Majesty is in good health. Except for the occasional cold infection, everything is fine."
Ling Ruoshu frowned, nodded and said, "That's good. The Ai family is afraid that the emperor will report the good news to the Ai family but not the sorrow."
Xianyue smiled and said: "For my ministers and the emperor, the health of the emperor is the most important thing. Only when the emperor is well can the harem be safe and worry-free."
Ling Ruo smiled at what she said, "You are getting better and better at making the Ai family happy. The Ai family are getting old. No matter how many imperial doctors surround them and how many precious medicinal materials they provide, they will only have a few years to live."
Xianyue stood up hurriedly and said: "Empress Huang, please don't say that. The imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty found a health-preserving formula from a medical book some time ago, saying that it can make people live to be a hundred years old and have a bright spirit. Now he is already here
Search for the medicinal materials, and after he prepares them, I will immediately send them to the Queen."
Ling Ruo waved her hand and said slowly: "After living for so many years, the Ai family has long been indifferent to life and death. If it had not been for the late emperor's will, the Ai family would have followed the late emperor."
Xia Yue lowered her eyes and said: "The emperor's mother and the late emperor had a deep love, and their love was seamless, which is really the envy of my sons and ministers."
Hearing these words, Ling Ruo's eyes flashed with a look of regret. After a long time, he sighed and said: "The late emperor treated the Ai family very well. Although the late emperor passed away for more than twenty years, the Ai family has not forgotten him for a moment."
After saying that, she stroked her silver hair and dismissed the people waiting on her left and right, leaving only Shuixiu in the palace. "Back then, the emperor wanted to establish a
The Ai family does not agree with you as the empress. After all, your background is not only insufficient to convince the public, but will also cause turmoil in the court. However, the emperor insists that the Ai family can only let him be. Over the years, although new people have continued to join
Palace, but the person the emperor cares about most is always you, and the heir he values most is also the one you gave birth to."
Xianyue said respectfully: "Your Majesty treats me with deep affection and affection. I am so grateful that I am so grateful. I have been trembling with fear over the years for fear of betraying the Emperor."
Ling Ruo said slowly: "Although there was something wrong with the appointment of the queen back then, you were very good. You quickly made hundreds of officials and people return to their hearts, and you even earned the reputation of a virtuous queen."
"Everything is due to the teachings of the emperor." Faced with Xia Yue's words, Ling Ruo said with a half-smile: "You have always been smart, so why bother to be trained by your family? Since the emperor treats you with deep love, you should assist the emperor well.
, help him become a wise king, so that he can truly live up to the emperor."
Xianyue hurriedly lowered her head and said: "I know that I will do my best not to disappoint the emperor's mother."
"Okay." After a moment of pause, Ling Ruo said slowly: "There are many people in the palace, and naturally there are many right and wrong. People's hearts are different. Not everyone may be as single-minded towards the emperor as you are. Just some innocuous matters, that's all.
But if it involves the peace of the palace, the reputation of the royal family, or even... the safety of the emperor, we must not indulge. Once we find signs of it, we must immediately suppress it by any means necessary. There must not be a second Qiao Yan'er, do you understand?"
Xianyue said respectfully: "My son, I will obey the emperor's teachings!"
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Only when the harem is in harmony can the emperor have no worries. The Ai family is getting weaker and weaker now. I can only give you a few words from time to time. What to do specifically depends on you."
After Xianyue agreed, Yongxu walked in holding a lifelike mechanical doll that was about as long as an arm, and said with a joyful expression: "Thank you, Grandma Huang, for the reward. When my grandson goes back and studies it thoroughly, I will have someone imitate it."
, each palace and courtyard sent a set."
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "This doll is so finely made that many skilled craftsmen have not been able to copy it according to the law. Can you, a child, do it?"
Yong Cun raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know if you haven't tried it? Maybe your grandson can actually make it?"
"Okay, the Ai family likes ambitious children." Ling Ruo stroked Yong Cang's head and said with a smile, "The Ai family is waiting for you, my dear grandson, to imitate the doll."
After returning from Cining Palace, Yongzhen locked himself in the study and played with the eighteen dolls. Even the dinner was brought in by the palace people. According to reports from the palace people who went in, it was Yongzhen.
Cang took apart one of the dolls.
Qi Kuan said worriedly: "Master, this is a reward from the Queen Mother. Will the twelfth brother do this to displease the Queen Mother?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother agreed to let Yongxun research imitation, and I guess she won't blame her, but this matter is destined to be in vain."
The whole night was speechless. The next morning, Xianyue was washing up. Jinping walked in quickly, leaned over and said a few words in Xianyue's ear. The latter's face changed and she looked at Jinping in disbelief, "This is serious.
?”
Jinping looked solemnly and said: "The edict has been issued by the Yangxin Hall, and it must not be false."
