51 051 Empress Dowager

◎Excuse me! You are worthy of being the luckiest Empress Dowager in history.◎

Since the Empress Dowager has issued an imperial decree, Mo Yu will have to enter the palace tomorrow no matter what.

In fact, long before returning to the capital, when he was still on the way to the south, Master Kang had already issued an order for Mo Yu to enter the palace to keep several young princes company.

So Mo Yu was mentally prepared for entering the palace. However, what he did not expect was that he would have to enter the palace so soon, and it was the Empress Dowager who summoned him, which always made him feel a little uneasy.

Mo Yu asked Lin Ruhai with a bitter face what the Empress Dowager wanted him to do in the palace. It was the first time in such a long time since he came here that he showed some of the childish innocence that a child of his age should have.

Looking at his adorable, slightly wrinkled face, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, Xiao Daiyu and others were already laughing non-stop.

But after laughing for a while, they also knew that the matter was of great importance, so they had to tell Mo Yu everything in detail.

Although it sounds like a serious matter, in fact, to put it simply, the Empress Dowager wanted to see what the legendary "little prodigy" of the Lin family was like, how smart he was, and whether he was qualified to be a companion to her group of precious grandchildren...

Considering that Mo Yu was too young and had never been to the palace before, Lin Ruhai said that the Empress Dowager specifically allowed his mother Jia Min to take him with her, and specifically asked if there were other brothers and sisters in the family. Knowing that there was a biological sister, Xiao Daiyu, she also agreed to go together.

So, the original itinerary of only Mo Yu now directly became a trip for three people, plus Lin Ruhai who was going to the South Study to meet the emperor, basically the whole family went together.

This arrangement was made just to make Mo Yu not nervous and afraid. Lin Ruhai was even asked to take a message home to teach the children not to go too early, and to enter the palace at noon, so as not to delay.

It can be seen that this old lady is gentle, meticulous, and considerate in her work, and she is also a very good person.

Following Lin Ruhai's introduction, Mo Yu also found the relevant information of this empress dowager in system 006.

It turns out that the current empress dowager was born in the Korchin Borjigit clan, and was the second empress of Emperor Shunzhi, with the honorific title of Empress Xiaohuizhang.

The life of this empress dowager can be said to be quite legendary. She was originally a little princess from the Mongolian grasslands. After her aunt, Mengguqing, the first empress of Emperor Shunzhi, was deposed as Concubine Jing, she was only thirteen years old and married to their uncle, Emperor Shunzhi, together with her younger sister…

Let’s just say that the first few emperors of the Qing Dynasty really liked to play this kind of operation of marrying aunts and nieces, or sisters together. Not to mention Huang Taiji, the same was true for Shunzhi. It’s really hard to judge… In short

, because her aunt Mengguqing was abandoned by Emperor Shunzhi and deposed and sent to the cold palace, the Empress Xiaohuizhang, who had just entered the palace, was very cautious, even to the point of being well-behaved and dull, and she hoped that Master Shunzhi would not make things difficult for her and her sister…

which was of course impossible.

Everyone has seen how rebellious Shunzhi was in the matter of concubines. It can be said that he spent his whole life surrounded by the Mongolian Khorchin Borjigit clan. His father, Huang Taiji, married two aunts and nieces of the Khorchin Borjigit clan, one was the empress and the other was Concubine Zhuang, his biological mother, who later became Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The first empress, Mengguqing, was also from the Khorchin Borjigit clan, and was the niece of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The second empress and the later Concubine Shuhui were also from the Khorchin Borjigit clan, and were the niece of the first empress, Mengguqing...

so, the content is slightly higher.

In addition, his biological mother and the first empress, both of whom were from the Borjigit clan, left a bad impression on him, so he actually disliked Empress Xiaohuizhang and her sister.

Although he finally chose Empress Xiaohuizhang as the empress under the pressure of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Emperor Shunzhi was very unhappy.

So just two years later, he brought his true love, Consort Dong E, into the palace.

If Emperor Shunzhi treated the two nieces as strangers at first because of his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, then after Consort Dong E entered the palace, the two girls became enemies in seconds... Who was Shunzhi? He had to get rid of these women from the Borjigit family and let his true love, Consort Dong E, take the throne as the empress.

In this case, it was normal to find faults, reprimand, and find faults.

For example, he even found a random reason that Empress Xiaohuizhang was not diligent enough in serving the sick Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and he lost his temper several times.

After two years of this, Emperor Shunzhi finally lost his patience and was ready to depose the empress directly - since he had already deposed the first one, the second one would not be difficult.

The reason was also ready. Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was ill, and you, Empress Xiaohuizhang, as a daughter-in-law, did not serve her attentively... What does "careful" mean? It means that I think it is careful, that is, it is careful...

So this performance is already very obvious, he is determined to depose the empress.

But what he never expected was that the one who blocked the dethronement of the empress this time was his true love, Concubine Dong E.

It is said that Dong Efei knelt before Shunzhi with tears in her eyes and begged him not to depose her, even to the point of threatening to die. Shunzhi, who truly loved her, was very confused for a while, and then naturally loved her even more...

But since true love had spoken, the matter could only be temporarily dropped.

But no matter what, the damage was done.

Unfortunately, the little empress was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and had never seen such a battle. She fell ill in just one month, and her illness was very serious.

Then the excitement came. Shunzhi's true love, Dong Efei, who was already a royal concubine, actually took care of the sick little empress in person without taking off her clothes...

It can be said to be very magical.

It was simply the ultimate interpretation of the phrase "I am not here to break up this family, but to join this family."

Such a terrible life would surely drive a person crazy if it lasted too long, let alone a girl of such a young age. Fortunately, Empress Xiaohuizhang had good luck. After another two or three years, Concubine Dong E and Emperor Shunzhi died one after another. At the age of only 20, she became the Empress Dowager.

From then on, her good days finally came.

And because Master Kang, who followed her great-aunt Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to take care of the then Third Prince, developed a deep mother-son relationship with the future emperor of all ages...

Everyone knows what happened next. After Master Kang ascended the throne, he treated Empress Xiaohuizhang as his own mother. Whenever there was nothing to do, they would pay their respects to the old lady. If they had anything delicious, they would send it to her. Even if they got good venison while hunting, they would marinate it with salt and send it back to Shoukang Palace by express horse for the old lady to taste.

As for celebrating the old lady's 40th, 50th, 60th, and 70th birthdays, that was even more of a routine operation.

He even took the old lady on a southern tour. Usually, she would go on a summer vacation and travel. Even her own son might not be able to do so well. It was really touching.

For such an old lady to see him, it would basically be no problem.

After Mo Yu sorted out all the information, he said goodbye to Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and Xiao Daiyu and went back to his room to sleep.

Although it was not too late, considering that he was still a baby, he needed more sleep. Especially today's trip to the Jia family made him very tired - there was no way, seeing so many top-notch people at once, he was exhausted just by complaining.

This is not even counting the revelations.

In short, the characters in the Jia Mansion are really colorful and amazing, except for one thing, that is, they are too useless.

Mo Yu fell asleep and didn't notice the solemn expressions on the faces of Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and even his young sister Xiao Daiyu.

At this moment, his three closest family members were thinking: God, Mo Ge is really amazing, so knowledgeable... How come he is so familiar with the love life of the late emperor?

Wait, won't he be so reckless and have wild fantasies when he sees the Empress Dowager tomorrow?

Ah ah ah!

If that's the case, what can we do? !

The three members of the Lin family immediately fell into deep thought, especially Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, who almost didn't sleep well all night. But of course they didn't think of any better way to deal with this matter... They had already tried it many times before. Their Mo Ge'er's "weird ideas" were simply impossible to control or remind, and they could only listen to them.

So what to do?

It's still the old way, take it one step at a time.

So, the next morning, after sleeping for ten hours, the refreshed Mo Yu saw that his step-father and sister each had a pair of dark circles under their eyes.

He was a little confused, and was about to ask them what was wrong, but he was frightened by his mother Jia Min's glare and shut up.

His sister Daiyu laughed again... Oh, I don't know what this little sister laughs about every day. Anyway, as long as she is happy, at least she is much better.

So, Lin Ruhai went to the Southern Study to meet the Emperor. The mother and son rode in the Lin family's carriage and quickly arrived at the palace. They got off the carriage and changed to a sedan chair. They walked through the streets and alleys. It took about half an hour and finally arrived at Shoukang Palace, where Empress Xiaohuizhang, oh, now she should be called Empress Dowager Renxian, lived.

As soon as she entered the door, Mo Yu saw an old lady with a simple and kind face sitting in the main seat. Next to her was an old lady who looked very similar to her, but her clothes and decorations were inferior. They must be Empress Dowager Renxian and her sister, Empress Dowager Shuhui.

There were also several middle-aged or young concubines wearing gold and silver, some elegant and luxurious, or with flowers and clusters of flowers surrounding them. I think they were the harem of Master Kang.

Among them was indeed the imperial concubine whom she had met during the southern tour. When she saw Jia Min and her two children, a brilliant smile immediately appeared on her face.

Jia Min was born in a duke's mansion, so her etiquette was of course impeccable. Mo Yu and Daiyu were legitimate children, and the etiquette was taught by Jia Min herself, so naturally it was very perfect, which made people feel comfortable.

When the mother and her two children finished paying their respects to the Empress Dowager Renxian, the Empress Dowager Shuhui, and the first few concubines, someone had already brought them three stools.

The mother and her two children hurriedly thanked them, and then sat down and talked with their bodies leaning sideways.

The old lady sitting in the middle smiled and said to Mo Yu, "Is this the young master of Lord Lin's family? How old is he this year? What's his name? What book is he reading now?"
