Because Xu Lingyi and the Emperor came to the Empress Dowager's place, the Queen didn't want to see them being so intimate, so she left early.
The purpose of coming to the Queen Mother today was not achieved.
"Why did the Queen come to see Mother?"
After the queen left, the emperor asked.
He actually had some guesses in his mind.
The Queen Mother picked up the teacup, carefully examined the color of the tea, and said nonchalantly: "The Emperor really doesn't know? The Queen is only here for the power of the palace."
"Has the Queen Mother agreed?"
In the eyes of the emperor, the empress dowager was extremely indulgent towards the empress and the imperial concubine, especially the imperial concubine.
"I'm already at my age and I don't care about the affairs of the Emperor's harem. I just hope that you and Zhaoyang are healthy. I don't want to interfere in other matters."
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she will not interfere too much in what the emperor wants to do.
She had taken care of him enough in the past.
The emperor was previously preoccupied with state affairs and rarely visited the harem.
At that time, she was full of hope that the emperor would have a prince, so she often persuaded the emperor to enter the harem and favor concubines.
Even though the emperor found it annoying, he still did it in order not to make her sad.
As a result, no one in the harem gave birth for so many years, and the empress dowager even suspected that the emperor had been drugged.
The imperial doctors said no, but they couldn't find any problem.
By now, the Queen Mother had completely given up hope.
She thought perhaps this was her and the emperor's fate.
In her youth, in order to gain power, her hands were stained with blood.
Some were forced to fight back, while others took the initiative.
After all, she had done something wrong. Otherwise, she would not have been able to give birth to the emperor safely.
Maybe all this is retribution now.
The emperor had only one princess, Zhaoyang.
"My queen mother is still very young, and you can't tell her age at all." The emperor said with a smile.
"Just try to comfort me. I know my own health. Having lived to this age and held this position, I have no regrets."
Hearing the empress dowager say this, the emperor felt a little depressed.
The Queen Mother said that she had no regrets, but both she and her son knew that his lack of offspring was the Queen Mother's greatest regret in her life, and the thing she was most unwilling to accept.
"Is the Imperial Noble Consort adapting well to the palace?" the Empress Dowager asked Xu Lingyi.
"Your Majesty, I am doing fine."
Xu Lingyi had only a short time with the Queen Mother, but she already understood that she loved children very much.
Even if she disliked her in her heart and looked down on her identity.
But he did not make things difficult for the emperor and always treated her politely.
Like now.
But Xu Lingyi did not stay in the Empress Dowager's palace for long, because being decent did not mean that the Empress Dowager liked her.
"The Queen is reluctant to give up the power in her hands. She has even come to my mother's house to complain about the palace power."
The emperor had an indifferent expression and a cold voice. He didn't like the queen and whatever she did was wrong.
Xu Lingyi's bright eyes moved slightly, and her red lips opened slightly: "Your Majesty's worries are unfounded. I am also afraid that I am not up to the task and will disappoint Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please revoke your order."
The emperor shook his head. Xu Lingyi did a good job managing the Shen family's affairs and there was nothing she was not competent for.
It's nothing more than giving in to the queen.
"Don't worry, Yi'er. Among the maids I've given you, there are some who are good at palace affairs. Leave these palace affairs to them. Yi'er, you don't have to worry about anything going wrong."
The emperor insisted, and Xu Lingyi pretended to refuse again, but then she didn't refuse again.
After the queen knew that the situation was irreversible, no matter how good her qi-cultivation skills were, she couldn't help but smash a few porcelain bottles in the palace.
"Mother, is Father getting senile and confused now?"
Princess Zhaoyang raised her chin, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes.
The Queen raised her head and covered her mouth with her hand: "You must not be disrespectful to your father. No matter how much your father loves you, you must remember that he is the Son of Heaven. Do you remember what your mother said? In front of your father..."
Princess Zhaoyang snorted softly and interrupted the Queen: "Don't be arrogant and domineering. You must be more obedient and try to please Father and Grandmother. But Mother, that sickly person is dead. Father only has me as his princess now. I know he won't be angry with me."
The sickly girl in the past always looked kind and innocent, which made her father and grandmother love her very much.
Before she died, Zhaoyang always felt that the emperor was partial to her.
She didn't feel relieved until she died.
No matter how much her father and the others loved her, she was still dead.
"Mother, you have been on the throne for so many years, and no woman in the harem has ever dared to climb over your head. That bitch Xu has been like this since she entered the palace. If you don't take action, in the future..."
After the sick child died, Princess Zhaoyang was particularly happy and took her husband to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as I returned to Beijing, I learned that there was a new imperial concubine in the palace.
"Mother knows that she has a plan in mind. I'm telling you this today because I want to tell you that when you meet Xu in the future, not only must you not show any hostility, but you must also be friendly to her. That way, if something happens to her in the future, no one will suspect us, mother and daughter."
Of course the queen would not take action herself, she would only instruct others.
But she was also afraid that Zhaoyang would be impulsive. She knew her daughter's temperament very well and had spoiled her since she was a child.
"When will the Queen Mother get rid of this bitch?"
"Don't be impatient. She is now the apple of your father's eye. The more cautious we are, the easier it is to lose our composure if we are impatient. Have you forgotten our last enemy?"
The queen tried to comfort her, saying that it took her many years to get rid of the imperial concubine's daughter.
