In fact, this was a good idea, but Concubine Shu did not expect that, by some strange coincidence, the Empress Dowager's anger was directed at the child.
After learning about what happened in the Duke's Mansion, Concubine Shu thought about it for a long time and felt that the Queen Mother would never do this. This must be an accident. Perhaps the child was greedy and asked for food, so something happened.
But in this case, her plan had to be put on hold temporarily.
She realized it later and became afraid. What if this matter was traced back to her? Wouldn't that offend two parties at once?
That foreman must be dealt with quickly! She called out, "Come here! Where's Zhao Liang?"
After a while, Zhao Liang came in hurriedly: "My queen!"
"Where have you been!" Concubine Shu glanced at him. Zhao Liang's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Fortunately, Concubine Shu did not doubt it and only said, "It happens that my sister is getting married tomorrow. You can ask to leave the palace for a while, and then..." She whispered a few words in her ear.
Zhao Liang's eyes flashed and he lowered his head in response.
In the Cining Palace.
...
...
After Nanny Fu and the others came back, the Empress Dowager felt better.
Apart from her blurry eyesight and bad teeth, she was actually in good health and did not collapse after going through all this trouble.
But he kept claiming to be sick and only told others that he felt sorry for his children.
As an elder, she was heartbroken and sick because of an accident. To be honest, even if Jiaozi Nian Gao died, Yan Shiyue couldn't settle the score with her! Otherwise, it would be unfilial!
Thinking of this, she just lay there.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw someone talking to Aunt Fu outside, and Aunt Fu looked shocked.
But after coming in, he said nothing.
The Queen Mother was terrified, fearing that she would hear something bad, but enduring this made her feel doubly uncomfortable.
So the Queen Mother finally asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Fu hesitated.
The Queen Mother glared and said, "Tell me! I have enjoyed enough blessings over the past few decades! I have seen a lot of ups and downs! It's just that my children and grandchildren are unfilial! I can bear it!"
How did it get to the point of unfilial children and grandchildren?
Madam Fu was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "My Queen Mother, please accept my condolences. It was the prince who got drunk and rode a horse... and we were unable to save him."
The prince? The queen mother was stunned. Riding a horse while drunk?
She suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was talking about Nansui Bo's Mansion, her nephew.
The Queen Mother was surprised and asked, "What!"
Madam Fu said, "The prince came out of the Red Mansion yesterday. He drank a little too much and brought a new favorite with him. He didn't allow anyone to follow him. As a result, he fell off his horse and hit his head on a stone. He died when he was carried back to the mansion."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time.
Then he angrily said, "How could it be such a coincidence! Check it for me! Check it thoroughly!"
The Queen Mother has not been in charge of affairs for many years, and what she knows is what others want her to know.
Soon, she found out that Concubine Shu hated Yan Shiyue because of the Eighth Prince, so she deliberately caused the glass incident to sow discord between the Queen Mother and Yan Shiyue. And yesterday... Zhao Liang, the eunuch who was also Concubine Shu, asked for permission to leave the palace in the name of adding makeup, but he did not return to the palace until dusk.
Nanny Fu whispered, "The Concubine Shu has four concubine sisters, but she has never given any of them makeup. This one was still in her infancy when the Concubine Shu entered the palace."
"So that's it!" The Queen Mother sneered angrily, "How dare you! You're playing me like a monkey! Even after going this far, you still want to sow discord between me and Fu Yan!"
As I said, people are always used to forgiving themselves.
The Queen Mother was not stupid. She knew that this matter could not be made public, otherwise, if she tried to make dumplings and rice cakes, it would be like she had a pretext, and she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
She chose to ignore that it was because of Jiulang and Shilang that she thought of Jiaozi Nian Gao. She only knew that it was Concubine Shu who was stirring up trouble! She became tired of Fu Yan!
The Queen was a clear-headed person, and she rarely conspired to frame someone like that. Moreover, she was in this position, so she really didn't need to think too much about many things.
Now, they just need to bribe one person, and they can take care of the rest themselves.
Concubine Shu had no idea that her subordinates had turned against her, and even less that the Empress Dowager had made her hate her.
The queen has already retired and is waiting for these people to bite her slowly, resulting in both sides suffering losses.
The Duke's Mansion.
Since that day, Yan Shiyue has never left the house, just eating dumplings and rice cakes.
The two children are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
When feeding them medicine, they looked aggrieved and swallowed it obediently with tears in their eyes. Sometimes they spit it out because it was bitter. I held them and rocked them to comfort them so that they could be fed again later.
Sometimes when she feels uncomfortable and irritable, she won’t cry or make a fuss, but will just hum and try to get into people’s arms, hold her hand, and touch her head and her belly.
Every time Yan Shiyue saw it, he felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.
She always thought, even if it was ten or a hundred times, she would still feel the pain for them! They were not even three years old!
She had heard Linlang talk about this matter in detail. Unlike the Empress and Consort Shu, she was more inclined to believe that the Empress Dowager did it on purpose.
Maybe he didn't mean to harm them, but at least he asked them to drink the nourishing soup on purpose.
Sitting in the position of the empress dowager, she didn't even have to do anything personally. She just needed to express her dislike for them a little, and naturally people below would join in the fun and do their own thing.
The Queen Mother is a wise person.
But sometimes, whether you are smart or not depends on the time and the person you are with.
It’s just like the old princess back then. She would be nice to anyone who was useful to her, like Yan Tingyue.
As for the others besides Yan Tingyue, such as Yan Chengyuan and Yan Chengze, she had little affection for them, because she was in a superior position, and she could enjoy their filial piety as a matter of course, and demand and talk about privileges as a matter of course, without asking for anything in return.
But the Queen Mother is a little different.
She must have loved Emperor Ming Yan.
But other than that, she will be nice to anyone who makes her feel comfortable or happy.
From the first time they met, the first thing she asked was about good fortune. At the end, when she was arguing with Concubine Jing, she said, "You chatter non-stop as soon as we meet." In fact, her character can be seen.
At that time, she wanted to see her, firstly out of curiosity, and secondly because of blessing, and subconsciously, she might have wanted to use her for her own benefit.
But once you realize you can’t do it, your interest will fade away.
As for the concubines in the palace, they were just toys to her. If they couldn't make her happy, she would just drive them away. There was nothing to consider.
Very calm and willful.
As the empress dowager at this age, this is actually very normal and there is nothing wrong with it. Standing in that position, it is not good to worry too much.
But, you have to know that the Queen Mother had never raised a grandchild before, and she was not keen on asking any child to kowtow or something like that. If it weren't for the fact that Nine or Ten looked like Emperor Ming Yan, she might not have thought of asking them to raise her.
So she may not really like children, and her liking for dumplings and rice cakes is too sudden and inexplicable.
unreasonable.
There must be a problem.
She did it on purpose, deliberately harming her child!!
But even if Yan Shiyue thought about it over and over again in her heart and determined that the Queen Mother did it on purpose, what could she do?
There was Emperor Ming Yan between them, and she had to consider his feelings.
