Chapter 773 The Emperor is Cheating (XI)
"...Your Majesty, although Concubine Xie is a little confused, Your Majesty is wise--" He would never do such a thing that "harms others and does not benefit himself".
Ah Xian sensed the Queen Mother's hidden anger and hurriedly tried to comfort her softly.
Although she was a slave, she was intelligent.
After twenty or thirty years of ups and downs in the harem, he has already developed a pair of venomous eyes.
Ah Xian can see through certain things clearly——
Concubine Xie is indeed stupid, but the emperor is sober.
At least for now, marrying Princess Ankang to the Xie family would be of absolutely no benefit to the emperor.
No, not only will it be of no benefit, it will also trigger conflicts between the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
If one is not careful, he will directly anger the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Wang was the empress of the previous emperor and the legitimate mother who supported the concubine's son to ascend to the throne. She had both status and righteousness.
If the new king acts recklessly, the queen mother has the right and ability to dethrone him.
Previously, in order to return power, the Queen Mother had already had some tension with the new king.
But that time the new monarch was right - when a new monarch gets married, he should rule the country himself.
No matter how noble the Queen Mother was, she was only the mistress of the Min royal family. She was not the empress and could not monopolize the government in violation of etiquette and laws.
Moreover, the reason why Queen Mother Wang was able to suppress Concubine Xie and become the most honorable woman in the Da Jing Dynasty was because of etiquette and law. Queen Mother Wang could not destroy the Great Wall herself.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to return power to the new king.
But Princess Ankang's marriage is, at best, a private matter of the Queen Mother's family, and at best, a matter of great importance to the royal family's reputation.
Haha, a legitimate princess, the most honorable princess of the Great Jing Dynasty married a boy who had no family background, no talent, and no moral character. The entire Min royal family will be embarrassed.
The most important thing is, if Ankang gets married, what will happen to the other royal princesses? There is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and a hierarchy of rank.
Are we going to let those princesses marry street rogues and beggars? !
Concubine Xie's wishful thinking would not only offend the Queen Mother and her daughter, but would also offend all the concubines in the harem who had given birth to princesses! "Your Majesty is smart, but Xie Shizhong is his biological mother."
When she mentioned the word "biological mother", a hint of sadness flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes again.
She has a son too.
Her son is also the crown prince of the Dajing Dynasty.
He is so smart, so sensible, but——
If her son had not died and had successfully inherited the throne, she would not have to endure the bullying of a lowly concubine now.
Her health will always make her the most honorable princess of the Great Jing Dynasty! Min Huang?
Yes, he is indeed smart and knows how to judge the situation.
However, it was precisely this wisdom and awareness of the times that made the Queen Mother even more uneasy.
Such people can easily turn against you and become ruthless.
Because he will always make the most powerful choice for himself——
Now that Min Huang has just taken power and his foundation is unstable, he naturally has to keep a low profile and be cautious.
He will also restrain his unreliable mother for the sake of his own country.
But once he completely controlled the court and became the supreme ruler with imperial prestige, he might start to "compensate" Xie.
Of course, this process may take several years or even more than ten years.
However, it is always a sharp sword hanging over the Queen Mother's heart.
As a politician, the Queen Mother naturally had to anticipate the worst-case scenario.
She must prepare in advance and never put herself in a passive position.
She couldn't bear to have to live under the control of Mrs. Xie for the next few decades! "Ah Xian, add fuel to Mrs. Xie's fire! I need to let the emperor know how ridiculous his mother is!"
It's just a minor fight now, and it's probably still within Min Huang's tolerance.
But if Concubine Xie goes too far and really hurts Min Huang's interests——
Haha, he will only feel pain when the knife cuts himself!
"Yes! I obey your command!"
Ah Xian bent her body and responded softly.
The master and servant have been together for twenty or thirty years and have already developed a tacit understanding.
There is no need to be too explicit, both parties understand each other's meaning.
…
"Ouch, my heart hurts!"
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
"Oh, how pitiful! I have been toiling in this shameful harem for more than twenty years, finally watching my son become the emperor and marry a noble wife, but in the end, I am still just a lowly concubine!"
"Emperor, why didn't you take me with you when you left? If I stay in this palace, not only will I be bullied, but I will also make Jiulang upset!"
On the bed, a beautiful middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties, with her hair loose and a headband tied, was howling at the top of her lungs.
Really howling.
I cried for such a long time but not a single tear fell.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Bad review! You don't even know how to fake it, at least you can get a handkerchief with ginger juice.
Of course, this kind of low-level operation is specifically aimed at palace fighting rookies like Concubine Xie.
For example, a big shot in the government like Gu Qingcheng doesn’t need any props at all.
Her acting skills have long been superb and back to nature. As long as she wants, she doesn't need any tools and the tears come easily.
Ginger handkerchief?
Well, he is a veteran actor in palace fighting and house fighting novels.
However, in the real backyard and harem, ginger handkerchief is the lowest level of practice.
Because when a goose passes by, it leaves its sound; when something happens, it leaves its trace. As long as you cheat, you will leave loopholes.
Ginger juice and the like have flavor in themselves.
Just take the handkerchief and smell it, and you will know whether it is a human or a ghost immediately.
The highest level of acting is that others know you are acting, but they can’t detect any flaws, and they can’t find any evidence against you afterwards!
And Concubine Xie's words are also full of flaws -
Heartache? Dear mother-in-law, if you have heartache, why are you holding your stomach?
Is your stomach connected to your heart? It hurts like hell?
In the harem, how can you easily say the word "death"?
This is a taboo! There is also the "shameful harem". Haha, what's wrong with the harem? This is the most honorable place in the Great Jing Dynasty. How could it be regarded as a shameful place by Concubine Xie? You know, Min Huang is the owner of this Taiji Palace.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He just opens his mouth and says that Min Huang's territory is a dirty quagmire. Do you think Min Huang is happy or not?
Also, although Min Huang was not favored since childhood, he is still a prince.
Compared to the real lower class, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he lives a life of wealth and luxury.
At this point, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but want to complain about a classic line from a palace fighting drama - I don't want to be born in an imperial family.
Gu Qingcheng: ... Pretentious! That's because you don't know what kind of life the real people at the bottom of society live? What freedom, what love, those are high-end enjoyments that people only pursue when they are well fed and well-drinking.
The common people in ancient times were literally common people, as lowly as grass.
Whether they can survive to adulthood is unknown.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive to adulthood, they still have to face various hardships.
Many times, the lower-class people in ancient times were even worse than cattle and horses.
Compared to these people, the people of the imperial family are simply gods living in heaven! Gu Qingcheng is an ancient native, and a woman who has been a queen and a regent queen mother. She knows the sufferings of the people and the extravagant enjoyment of the powerful.
Therefore, in Gu Qingcheng's view, some of the sad cries that seem to be full of fatalism are just whining without any knowledge of the sufferings of the world!
Oh, I was too happy to complain and went off topic.
Gu Qingcheng collected her thoughts and continued to "comment" on her mother-in-law's crying.
"Still mentioning the late emperor?"
Haha, if your son hadn’t become the emperor, you wouldn’t even be qualified to mention the late emperor.
To put it bluntly, the late emperor may not have even forgotten that there was a woman named Xie in the harem.
If he still had any sense in the afterlife, after hearing Concubine Xie's crying, he would probably ask in confusion: ...Who are you?
Why are you crying at my grave?! Gu Qingcheng stood beside the bed with her head down, complaining madly in her heart.
Trouble: ...
"Your Majesty, I never expected that you would be so sharp when you complain!"
Huoshui really wanted to say, is it okay for you to complain about the original owner's mother-in-law like this? Moreover, you probably don't know that the emperor Min Huang's cheat has arrived.
He can read minds!
Your inner thoughts are so rich and colorful. If Min Huang hears them, it will be very easy to be in trouble!
Although the identity of "Queen Gu" does not rely on the emperor's favor.
But she is a woman in the harem after all. If she offends the emperor, her fate will be worrying.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I always feel like you are implying something to me! However, this time, the little idiot did remind her.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t know that Min Huang’s plug-in had arrived, let alone what Min Huang’s plug-in was.
But no matter what Min Huang said, Gu Qingcheng should have been cautious in the harem.
It's never wrong to be more prepared.
Gu Qingcheng began to adjust her state.
She is a master at controlling her emotions. After binding to the system, she has to compete with the source of trouble (the system?) in a battle of wits and courage.
She was getting better at it.
She can hide her true thoughts perfectly. Not to mention an ancient native with "plug-ins", even a highly intelligent, high-tech system cannot explore her deepest thoughts.
"His Majesty!"
Gu Qingcheng had just adjusted herself when she heard the voices of palace maids and eunuchs coming from outside the hall.
Well, it came pretty fast! It was worth my big tour of the harem.
You have to deal with your own amazing mother yourself!
Gu Qingcheng was once again satisfied with the original owner's personality - rational and sober.
After she came here, she didn't have to compromise herself to maintain her character, nor did she have to rack her brains to come up with an excuse for "transformation".
She just needs to play her true self.
Wait, "true colors"? Gu Qingcheng carefully separated an area in her heart and wrapped it with her consciousness.
Apart from herself, even the evil hidden deep in her sea of consciousness could not be detected.
This small world is the truest thought in Gu Qingcheng's heart.
In addition to this area, Gu Qingcheng also has an "inner heart" where Gu Qingcheng performs.
[…Your Majesty just fell asleep and was awakened. In the end, I am not a competent wife.]
[Your Majesty's face is obviously tired, I feel so sorry for him. Unfortunately, I am not as gentle and sweet as Consort Shu. I am the queen of the Great Jing Dynasty, and I must be the mother of the country——]
As soon as Min Huang stepped into Concubine Xie's bedroom, he heard a familiar "voice".
Is this the Queen's true feelings? It turns out that beneath her proud and dignified mask, she also hides a sincere and pure heart.
She admires me!
