The concubines all retreated, and the door of Fengyi Palace was closed.
The large and luxurious Fengyi Hall is empty and silent, and you can only hear the whistling north wind outside the hall.
Wen Xiaotu sat silently on the phoenix seat for a moment, then stood up again and walked into Dongnuan Pavilion.
She stopped a few feet away from the emperor.
Ming Zhao hurried forward. He hurriedly wanted to explain, but Wen Xiaotu raised his head and said, "Go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother first."
Ming Zhao had no choice but to hold back what he said, "That's fine." - Let's finish the business first, and then explain it to Atu slowly.
When a newly married queen pays her first visit to the Queen Mother, it is actually the same as when a new daughter-in-law greets her mother-in-law. It is indispensable to kowtow and serve tea.
The Queen Mother gave her a red gold Yi Zi Yi Sun Ruyi as a meeting gift.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Wen Xiaotu took the heavy wishful thinking with both hands. He looked at the engraved pattern of Yizi and Yisun on it. He was silent for a few breaths before handing the wishful thinking to Qiu Sang.
After not seeing each other for three years, the Queen Mother seemed to have aged a lot, her temples were already quite gray, and there were a lot of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Her expression was gentle and somewhat loving, but her loving eyes were directed at the emperor.
The Queen Mother was slightly puzzled: "Why is the Emperor so unhappy on such a happy day?"
At this time, Ming Zhao couldn't be happy, so he could only say: "I went to pay my respects this morning, it was really noisy."
The Queen Mother smiled. It turned out that she was unhappy because the newlyweds were being disturbed. She could only say: "The concubine goes to pay greetings to the Queen. That is the rule."
After saying that, the Queen Mother looked at the little Wen, whom she had only met once before. Her eyebrows were lowered, her manner was modest, which was pleasing to the eye, and she said in a gentle tone: "This ceremony of conferring the queen is a bit hasty, but the emperor is determined to let it happen."
You entered through the Daxuan Gate, which is indeed a bit unconventional."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. She couldn't go to Daxuanmen?
Ming Zhao frowned: "Mother, my son has said before that Queen Hu has rebelled and is no longer my first wife. As for the Xian Sheng Queen... it is also a pity. Now that the Twelve Mothers have entered the family, it is not an exception.
."
Wen Xiaotu understood the meaning of the emperor's words, and co-authored that only the first wife queen can enter the Daxuanmen! Since Empress Hu was deposed, it was equivalent to being deprived of her identity, and she who was once Wen Rutu was just deprived of her identity.
To pursue the posthumous title of empress, naturally you cannot go through the grand gate. Now...this empress' wedding, although it is hasty and simple, is in accordance with the etiquette of the first wife empress...
But, what’s the point of doing all this?
"I am young and don't know these etiquette. I am frightened." Wen Xiaotu quickly curtsied.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother showed a bit of satisfaction, "That's all, as long as the emperor is happy. The Ai family is old, and they don't want to do anything now. They only hope that the emperor and the empress will love Qin Se." - If there can be more.
A son and a half daughter would be perfect.
When Ming Zhao entered the Yi Nian Palace, he opened his heart. He was afraid that his mother would have any objections to Atu. Now it seems that her mother is not dissatisfied with Atu... But, why don't I want to be with Atu again?
Atu may not want to have one or two children.
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I will remember my mother's teachings and I will definitely serve the emperor well in the future."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
Ming Zhao heard it, but it was particularly unpleasant.
The Queen Mother added: "By the way, Concubine Xian has been taking care of the general affairs of the Sixth Palace in the past few years. She is also an old man in the palace, and she is diligent and thoughtful. Naturally, you are the Queen now, so naturally you should be in charge of the Sixth Palace.
Palace, it’s just that... we can’t act too hastily.”
Wen Xiaotu smiled slightly and said hurriedly: "Yes, I have entrusted Concubine Xian to take care of the palace affairs this year. It will not be too late to hand over the affairs until spring next year. In addition, I have also agreed that Concubine Xian will be in charge of the affairs in the future.
Palace affairs.”
After hearing these words, the Queen Mother was very satisfied. The emperor's vision was still good. Although this little Wen family was not as good as the big Wen family, he was dignified, decent, virtuous and gentle, and it was rare to be able to take care of the whole body. It was the end of the year, and this
If the palace power is handed over at that time, it will inevitably delay the New Year's Eve banquet. After all, Xiao Wen is young and not familiar with palace affairs. If she accepts it suddenly, she is afraid that she will be in a hurry, so it is better to let Concubine Xian take care of it first.
Ming Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart. Although the queen mother praised me and Atu so much, I was not happy at all.
The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly, "Good boy, you really did not disappoint the Ai family." As she said that, the Queen Mother took Wen Xiaotu's hand and said, "You have just moved into Fengyi Palace. Your life with the emperor is more important than palace affairs."
Cultivate the relationship between husband and wife.”
The Queen Mother looked at her son again: "The Emperor should not focus solely on government affairs. Since he married the middle palace, he will spend more time in Fengyi Palace from now on, so that he can give the Ai family a grandson as soon as possible!"
Wen Xiaotu almost rolled his eyes, I knew the Queen Mother would definitely mention this!
Ming Zhao tried his best to smile, "My son is not young anymore after all. The matter of heirs...can't be forced."
The Queen Mother laughed angrily: "In the past two years, the Jiang family, the Lin family, and the Cui family have been pregnant one after another. It can be seen that the emperor is still in his prime."
Ming Zhao’s head is as big as a bucket, Queen Mother, can you please stop talking about this!
The Queen Mother smiled again and looked at the young and beautiful Queen Wen: "You are much younger than the others. I believe you will be happy soon."
Wen Xiaotu: ...Sorry, I won’t get involved in this!
He quickly changed the subject: "I have been preparing for marriage in the boudoir before, and I know very little about the palace. I just found out today that there are two pregnant concubines in the palace. I don't know how many months Lin Cai and Cui Baolin are."
She's pregnant."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Lin Cairen is more than seven months old, and Cui Baolin is also six months old. The fetuses are both stable! The Ai family is thinking, one of them must be the emperor's grandson, right?"
As she said that, the Queen Mother sighed: "Although Miss Jiang became pregnant first, she failed to live up to expectations and only gave birth to a princess."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was getting more and more energetic as she spoke, Ming Zhao finally couldn't help but growled: "Queen Mother! How did Jiang become pregnant in the first place? Have you forgotten?!"
The Queen Mother's face froze, and she looked a little unsure, "Emperor...are you still blaming the Aijia?"
Wen Xiaotu was surprised, what kind of rhythm is this? What did the Queen Mother do in the first place?
Ming Zhao rubbed his eyebrows, feeling resentful in his heart. He blamed himself even more for being so unprepared for his mother when he was hurt for a moment... He also hated Jiang for not being able to keep to himself and dare to——
Ming Zhao gnashed his teeth with hatred.
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and then choked up and said: "The empress sage passed away, and the emperor was in mourning all day long, unable to extricate himself. How could the Ai family sit back and watch?" - The Ai family did not want to have a prosperous descendant at that time, but just hoped that the emperor would be able to do so.
Just get out of grief.
Wen Xiaotu was stunned when he heard this, why did he put the blame on me?
After hearing this, Mingzhao did not refute, and even secretly glanced at his Atu. Atu may not believe these words from my mouth, but if it is what the queen said, Atu should believe it.
.
The Queen Mother sighed, waved her hand and said, "That's all, I'll just forget about the Aijia from now on."
Ming Zhao: You should keep mentioning it!
I don’t speak when I should speak, and I’m verbose when I shouldn’t! The Queen Mother is really old!
