Chapter 188 The Summer Palace. The Queen Mother is so fickle! (Fourth update, please vote)
Atu's smile was like a wisp of light clouds in the sky, as if she had taken everything lightly, as if nothing could make her heart waver.
Emperor Mingzhao couldn't help but think this way. She didn't resent or hate, nor did she like or dislike him.
Seeing that the emperor was no longer angry, but instead had a sad look on his face. Wen Xiaotu felt baffled, what happened to this bitch emperor? If you don't have your way elsewhere, I still have to be responsible for smoothing your hair.
Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to change the subject: "Didn't the emperor say before that when the weather gets warmer, he would take his concubine to the Qingliang Mountain Palace to soak in the hot springs? I don't know when we can set off?"
Ming Zhao forced a smile: "When I turn around, I will instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for departure."
It’s good that this matter is no longer dirty.
Ming Zhaofu added: "But I think I have to give the palace a decent name."
Wen Xiaotu was confused: "Isn't it... called Qingliangshan Palace?"
Ming Zhao persisted in his pair of Rouyi and said: "It's just called this because it is built at the foot of Qingliang Mountain. In fact, it is not a serious palace name."
Wen Xiaotu nodded, saying that was indeed inappropriate.
Ming Zhao then said: "I ordered the renovation earlier because I wanted to honor my adoptive mother in her later years. Qingliang Mountain is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is really a place for people to stay. So why not call it the Summer Palace?"
Wen Xiaotu nodded happily: "The Summer Palace Palace sounds really good, and the Queen Mother will definitely be happy."
When the Queen Mother was mentioned, Ming Zhao looked a little unkind, "I will urge the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make arrangements as soon as possible so that we can set off early."
I had said before that I would leave the porridge and rice in Daxuan Palace and leave it to the Queen Mother to take care of for a few days, but...
"Since this is the Summer Palace to support the Queen Mother, will the Queen Mother go with her?" Wen Xiaotu asked softly.
Ming Zhao's face was cold: "The Queen Mother will not go!"
Wen Xiaotu was surprised. Why didn't the Queen Mother go to hot springs if it was such a good thing?
Ming Zhao hummed: "Don't look at the way my mother looks now. When the late Emperor was alive, she was not so dignified!"
Um?! Wen Xiaotu's eyes widened. Are you trying to gossip about the late emperor's harem? If you tell me this, I won't be sleepy anymore!
Seeing Atu's cheerful look, Mingzhao couldn't help but laugh. This narrow-minded person... He raised his hand and scratched the tip of Atu's nose, and whispered: "When my father was alive, he loved Concubine Bai Shu the most.
, the Qingliang Mountain Palace was built for the Bai family. After it was built, his father would take Bai family to the hot springs every year. Although the mother was a noble concubine at the time, her father did not like it. Going to the hot spring palace had never happened.
Her share."
Wen Xiaotu: Oh, the Queen Mother was so miserable when she was a concubine?
Ming Zhao laughed and said: "But Concubine Bai Shu was a sick child and died of illness before she was thirty. My father was so sad that he almost wanted to make her the queen. For this reason, my mother has always been worried about her."
Wen Xiaotu was a little speechless: "Everyone is gone, what is there to worry about?"
Ming Zhao pouted: "The Queen Mother is very petty! The fifth brother's biological mother, Concubine Chen Gui, has a gentle temperament, but her father only favored her a little in his later years. The Queen Mother still doesn't want to see Concubine Chen Gui!"
This Concubine Chen Gui is now retiring in Prince Sheng's Mansion and never enters the palace. Wen Xiaotu only knows from the memory of the original owner that this Concubine Chen Gui was only the ninth concubine in the late emperor's dynasty, and the emperor only respected her as his concubine after he ascended the throne.
The concubine was later honored as a noble concubine because of Prince Sheng's trust in the emperor.
Ming Zhao sighed: "The noble concubine is a kind and gentle person. She never had the heart to reprimand the fifth brother for his mischief all day long. Even when the fifth brother refused to marry the princess, the noble concubine never forced her..." - At this point
At this time, Mingzhao was even a little envious of this little bastard Ah Yao.
Wen Xiaotu sneered: "Didn't you give the Five Kings a concubine..."
Ming Zhao snorted: "That bastard has long been sent to another house and put away in a high cabinet!"
Wen Xiaotu:...This person is really a pure bender.
Ming Zhao rubbed the center of his brows: "There is really nothing that pleases me inside and out! I went to the Summer Palace to stay a little longer, just to hide away and have some peace and quiet."
"Stay longer?" Wen Xiaotu was stunned, "The porridge and rice..." She was worried about leaving the child with her grandma for too long.
Ming Zhao felt resentful in his heart: You only have children in your heart!
"If you don't want to part with them, just take them with you. Anyway, I see that they are all in good health. It's not far from the Summer Palace, so we won't be tired of them both!" Ming Zhao said with a hint of anger.
Wen Xiaotu thought the same thing. The palace was located in the north of Beijing, only a few dozen miles away. Even if the imperial driver walked slowly, it would only take more than half a day's journey.
Wen Xiaotu smiled in relief: "It's okay to go together."
The Queen Mother only found out about what happened last night when she got up in the morning. She heard that the Emperor did not leave any people from Luomei, and she was immediately dissatisfied. However, she also heard that the Emperor had summoned Cui Cainu again, and the minister's office had also recorded the event. The Queen Mother then smiled.
"Luo Shi must have failed to serve the emperor well." The Queen Mother showed a bit of disgust, "That beautiful face like a flower has been blinded in vain."
Aunt Baitan could only agree: "Yes, Concubine Wen and Lin Baolin are not stunningly beautiful. It can be seen that the emperor values the temperament of the concubines more."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, the imperial concubine was gentle and virtuous, Xiao Lin was delicate and charming, and Cui was cute and sweet, all of them had docile temperaments.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the emperor is willing to favor the newcomer." The Queen Mother finally felt relieved.
Soon, the date for departure to the Summer Palace was fixed, and it was a beautiful spring day in early March. The Queen Mother naturally did not want to go, so she said: "The Ai family is old and cannot bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling."
As she said that, the Queen Mother suddenly thought of her lovely grandson Sun Jingjun, "Jun'er and Jinshu are too young. If they don't stay with the Ai family, the emperor can just take the imperial concubine with him."
Ming Zhao knew that the Empress Dowager would say this, so he hurriedly came up with the excuse he had prepared early in the morning: "It's only half a day's journey, and it's an official road, so it doesn't matter. Besides, Jing Jun and Jin Shu are young, and if they are separated from their biological mother,
, I’m afraid I’ll have trouble sleeping day and night.”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt a little regretful, but she couldn't bear to force herself to kiss her grandson, so she said: "Then Emperor, go and come back quickly."
As she said that, the Queen Mother suddenly asked: "Besides the imperial concubine, who else does the emperor plan to bring with him?"
Ming Zhao could only say: "Lin Baolin and Cui Cainu are both going." If they don't go with them, the queen mother will definitely not follow her.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Please take Jiang Cairen with you too."
Ming Zhao endured his irritation and said "Okay".
The Queen Mother's old face instantly turned into a smile and said, "Although these concubines are not very good-looking, they all have excellent temperaments. If the emperor likes them, there is no harm in staying in the palace for a few more days."
Ming Zhao's face darkened several times. You just said you were going to come back quickly! Your mother is so fickle!
The Queen Mother thought happily that Lin Baolin was thin and unlucky and had never been pregnant, but Cui Cainv and Jiang Cairen did not look like they were unlucky. Maybe they were pregnant after returning from the palace.
Ming Zhao: Dreaming!
