Chapter 772 The Emperor is Cheating (Ten)
The Queen Mother trusts Ah Xian, and Ah Xian is absolutely loyal to her.
Therefore, in private, the relationship between the master and the servant is very natural, and there is no so-called hierarchy.
Ah Xian raised her hand, picked up an outer garment, and carefully put it on the Queen Mother.
In response to the Queen Mother's question, she smiled and replied: "I am ignorant and can only think of two things——"
"First, Concubine Xie is trying to be on par with you, Your Majesty!"
To put it more bluntly, Concubine Xie still has not given up the idea of becoming the empress dowager.
But according to ancient customs, there is no rule to make the biological mother the queen dowager while the stepmother is still alive.
At most, she would be given the title of "Empress Dowager".
It just so happened that Min Huang had just taken power and his foundation was unstable. Even if he was the "Empress Dowager", he had to first obtain the consent of the Queen Mother and find a way to convince the civil and military officials.
It will not be successful in at least three to five years.
But Concubine Xie ignored all the talk and insisted on becoming the empress dowager, crying, making a fuss and even threatening to hang herself like a shrew.
While the Queen Mother secretly despised him, she was also deeply angry - if her own son had not become the emperor, how could a fool like Concubine Xie dare to act so recklessly? As for the Queen Mother, she seemed noble now, but in fact she lacked confidence.
After all, the emperor is not her biological son, and relying solely on etiquette and laws is not enough to reassure the Queen Mother.
Therefore, the Queen Mother held the government tightly in her hands and was unwilling to let Min Huang rule the country.
pity--
"Gu is a good queen. The emperor is so lucky!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the woman of noble birth and who knew how to act.
Alas, if her prince had not died young, he would have married a good wife, and the couple would have loved each other, the mother would have been kind and the sons would have been filial, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have lived in harmony.
The Queen Mother is not Concubine Xie. She would not be foolish enough to be jealous of her daughter-in-law.
She will love everyone in the house, she will -
However, she didn't have the chance to be a good mother-in-law.
Her only son, the former crown prince of the Dajing Dynasty, died in a fall from a horse at the age of thirteen.
And because she blocked a sword for the late emperor while trying to save him, she was injured and could no longer get pregnant.
In desperation, the Queen Mother chose the ninth prince from among the other princes.
The Ninth Prince is smart and clear-headed. Apart from having a confused mother, he has basically no shortcomings.
And this confused biological mother is not a demerit.
As long as Mrs. Xie was alive, she would never be a threat to Queen Mother Wang.
Want to be the queen mother?
Haha, even the Queen Mother doesn’t need to step in, Min Huang himself won’t agree.
"Secondly, Concubine Xie wants to ask for a princess for Xie's son!"
Ah Xian seemed not to notice the sneer on Queen Mother Wang's face and continued to guess.
She was still "tactful" and did not directly point out Concubine Xie's "wishful thinking".
"Haha, Ah Xian, you don't have to cover up for Xie."
The Queen Mother sneered, "Our Queen Mother has great ambitions. How can an ordinary princess catch her eye?"
At this point, a fierce look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
"She has been eyeing my health for a long time!"
How could she deserve it!
Princess Ankang was the biological daughter of the Queen Mother and her only surviving child.
The Queen Mother gave birth to one son and two daughters for the late emperor. The eldest daughter died at the age of three, and the eldest son died in an accident at the age of thirteen.
Only the youngest daughter was left, and the Queen Mother treated her almost as her own sweetheart.
This is her Achilles' heel, her life.
In order to improve her family's status and to help the poor Xie family, Concubine Xie actually had the delusion of letting her nephew marry Ankang! Concubine Xie found plenty of excuses for her fantasy.
She even pulled Min Huang out: "Jiulang, mother is doing this for your own good!"
"Ankang is the Queen Mother's only bloodline, and she is also the granddaughter that Taiyuan Wang Shi values. If she is married to Dalang, Xie Shi will become a relative of the Wang family."
"As for the Queen Mother, she will also stop making things difficult for you in the court for Ankang's sake!"
"Son, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Min Huang: ...
God knows, when he first heard Concubine Xie's words, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
Marrying Ankang, the only legitimate princess of the Dajing Dynasty, to a farm slave?
Is my mother sick and confused? She is having a hysterical attack in broad daylight?
Even if she was not the Queen Mother's only biological daughter, even if she was just an unfavored princess of the Great Jing Dynasty, she was still a royal lady, a member of a golden branch and jade leaf.
Xie family?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although it might be unfilial to say this, Min Huang really looked down upon the Xie family.
The Xie family is not only poor, but their character is also questionable.
At the beginning, Concubine Xie was selected to enter the palace. Although it was a rule for the royal family to select women, those who met the requirements were not allowed to disobey.
However, any family who loves their daughters will try every means to “exempt” them from the selection.
Or prepare more dowry and marry off your daughter as soon as possible;
Or he could spend some money to bribe the flower and bird messenger and let his daughter escape.
As for the Xie family, not only were they reluctant to spend the money, they also had the delusion of "climbing on the rich and powerful".
Their family was very willing and enthusiastic to send their own daughter to the palace.
In other words, Concubine Xie was lucky and became pregnant accidentally.
Otherwise, according to the palace rules, Concubine Xie would probably have to be a maid in the palace for the rest of her life, and she would not be able to leave that big cage until her death.
How could a family that would exchange its own daughter for wealth be a kind and honest person?
Min Huang is not a fool like Concubine Xie. He is rational to the point of being cold-hearted.
To him, the Xie family was just a stranger family, a ruined family that would hold him back in the future!
Even though Concubine Xie told him every day that "he is your biological uncle" and "he is your biological cousin", Min Huang would never really consider the Xie family as in-laws.
Compared to the Xie family, he would rather respect his uncles from the Wang family.
Firstly, it is due to etiquette and laws; secondly, the young men of the Wang family are both capable people with both literary and military skills.
Even if he had to marry his sister to a "cousin", Min Huang would subconsciously choose Wang's son.
Xie's cousin? Oh, he was born in a farming family, but once he gained power, he became even more arrogant than a real playboy.
And there was Xie Dalang, who was treated as a treasure by Concubine Xie, but he was not good at studying or practicing martial arts.
You know, after Concubine Xie gave birth to a prince and was promoted to Zhaoyi, the Xie family also rose to prosper.
In their hometown, they are like local tyrants.
The third generation like Xie Dalang has been living a life of luxury and surrounded by people since childhood.
The Xie family had money and status, and could provide better educational resources for their children.
As a result, Xie Dalang and his other grandchildren not only failed to become successful, but instead became playboys who only knew how to fight cocks and run errands.
I was fifteen or sixteen years old, but I couldn’t even finish reading the Analects of Confucius.
How can such a person be worthy of the royal princess?
Concubine Xie actually thought that such an unequal marriage was an attempt to win over Wang!
Min Huang: ...I'm not angry! I'm not angry! My biological child! This is my biological child! This is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him!
Anyway, he won’t agree, so just let her imagine it and have fun.
With Concubine Xie as a troublesome mother, Min Huang could only comfort himself in this way.
But, soon, Min Huang found out: Even if he just thought about it randomly, it wouldn't work! His mother was too much!
I'm moving house recently, and I'm so busy. Alas, I said I wouldn't push my child, but when the child is old enough to go to school, I couldn't help but buy an old, broken house! This is probably what parents think, they must not let their children lose at the starting line because of themselves! You can accept the mediocrity of your children, but you can't let your children be mediocre because of yourself!
