The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

When people's rights reach a certain level, they can no longer control their ambitions.

Wang Ziteng was facing such a choice at this time.Because of the struggle with the abolished prince's party, he has accumulated more power.Later, the deposed prince's party was eliminated, and he used this time to insert many of his own people into the court.Now the person who sits in a high position in the court, no one can fight against him anymore.

At times like this, I can't help but wonder if I can go one step further. Isn't that how princes and generals come from since ancient times?Others can sit, why can't I?Once such an idea arises, it is out of control.

These days, the action is a little bit bigger, and the one above seems to have already taken action. At this time, Wang Ziteng knew that he needed to find an ally to achieve his political goals, and at the same time make this road to heaven more legitimate.So after making a desperate decision, he submitted a post in the name of Aunt Xue, asking Xue Baochai to visit her relatives.

Since Xue Baochai had a son, everything is fulfilled with a son.Besides, the Empress Dowager loves Xin'er very much, the relationship between herself and the Empress Dowager is getting better and better, and the concubines in the palace are also very harmonious, all in all they are doing very well.

Xue Baochai was also very happy when the emperor gave permission to visit his relatives this time.After greeting Xiao Rong and the queen early in the morning, she led the rewards that the two gave to her mother and brother, and embarked on the ceremonial drive home.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan got up and got ready before dawn, and the servants at home all put on the new clothes they only wore during the Chinese New Year, looking festive.

The mother and son led the servants at the gate and looked at the direction of the street eagerly.It is a great gift for the mother to visit relatives this time, and many common people watched from afar.

When the Xue family's mother and son were looking forward to see through, they finally saw the shadow of the guard of honor.

Aunt Xue hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, and she was so excited that she almost shed tears when she saw the royal ceremonial carriage slowly approaching.Seeing Yijia stop at the gate with red and swollen eyes, she led everyone to kneel down.

"The ordering woman leads the whole house to respectfully invite the empress Shengan."

Xue Baochai looked at the family members kneeling in a row in the sedan chair, feeling a little helpless in her heart. This is the royal rule, and it is a gift for monarchs and ministers.

The accompanying eunuch shouted: "Please drive into the middle gate, Niang Niangyi."

Everyone hurriedly got up and welcomed Xue Baochai's Yijia in.

After entering the inner mansion, through the curtain, the family told each other how they missed each other.The accompanying eunuchs were specially responsible for accompanying the empresses to visit their relatives. Knowing that these empresses had something to say when they returned to their natal homes, they led the accompanying palace people out after all the greetings and greetings were completed.

Aunt Xue quickly asked Xue Pan to go out to entertain.

After all these people went out, Aunt Xue hugged her daughter and began to cry emotionally.Ever since his daughter entered the palace, he has been restless in his heart. On the one hand, he enjoys the glory and power that his daughter brought to the family, but on the other hand, he is worried that his daughter is too weak to survive in the wolf-like harem.Now that my daughter has given birth to the prince safely, the Xue family and the royal family have a common blood. drop down.

Xue Baochai's heart was also sour, since she stayed in the harem, she realized that only her own mother was really kind to her in this world.

After crying for a while, Xue Baochai helped Aunt Xue up and wiped away her tears, "Mother, I am very happy today, and I should have a lively chat with my daughter. If I cry like this, it will be in vain."

"Well, I'm sorry for my mother." Aunt Xue wiped her tears.

Looking at her daughter in a bright yellow royal dress, she is noble and majestic, and she feels honored in her heart.

She caressed Xue Baochai and sat next to herself on the big chair, and asked with concern: "Is the empress safe in the palace?"

Xue Baochai took Aunt Xue's hand and said with a smile: "My daughter is fine, and there is nothing lacking in the palace, and the concubines get along well on weekdays."

"That's good. I heard from your uncle that the sage treats you a little bit wrongly, and I can't sleep or eat for my mother." Speaking of this, I remembered the fear of those days again.

"The empress dowager has treated the concubines in the harem very generously. Since her daughter gave birth to the prince, she has treated her more generously. Mother, don't worry."

Aunt Xue nodded, with a gratified expression on her face, "That's great, it's a pity that I haven't seen His Royal Highness before."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? After a few days, when it gets warmer, my daughter asked the Queen Mother to let her mother come to the palace to visit relatives, and then she will be able to see the prince."

Aunt Xue was pleasantly surprised, "It's so good."

After the mother and daughter talked about the family life for a while, Aunt Xue became a little hesitant.

Seeing that Aunt Xue was worried, Xue Baochai asked, "What's the mother hiding?"

Aunt Xue tilted her head, "It's not a secret, but this time your uncle knew you were coming back today, so he also came to the house, wanting to see your mother."

"Uncle?" Xue Baochai was puzzled.

Although it was somewhat impolite, Xue Baochai knew that his status in the palace had a lot to do with Wang Ziteng, so naturally he would not insult him.

Fortunately, Aunt Xue had made preparations in advance and opened a passage in the room, leading directly to the study, which was able to conceal the sight of the previous one.

In the study, Wang Ziteng has been waiting for a long time.He was wearing a uniform, and he looked majestic with a bit of kindness.

Seeing Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue entering the study, he hastily saluted, "I have seen your mother."

Xue Baochai hurried to help her up, "My lord uncle, why bother to be so polite, please hurry up."

Wang Ziteng stood up and looked at Aunt Xue next to him. Aunt Xue said quickly: "I'll go outside to guard first." Then he went to the previous room along the passage.

Xue Baochai saw that the two seemed a little mysterious, so she knew that there must be something inside. If the knowledgeable Prince Teng didn't talk about it, she would naturally not take the initiative to reveal it.

"My uncle, please sit down."

The two sat down across the table.

"Your Majesty, do you know the purpose of coming here today?"

"I don't know much about it."

Wang Ziteng said: "Your Majesty, now that you have the fourth prince, you can't see other things. Let me, my uncle, worry about it."

Xue Baochai frowned, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the grand wish of entering the palace that day?"

Before Xue Baochai entered the palace that day, in order to get Wang Ziteng's help, she once uttered a bold statement that if she could serve the emperor by her side in the future, she would definitely strive for supreme glory for the family.But now with her own status and the birth of the fourth prince, Xue Baochai felt that she had fulfilled her oath of that day.

"Naturally remember, it is now consummated."

Hearing this, Wang Ziteng frowned, and said with a sneer, "Isn't it possible that a single imperial concubine is enough for this?"

"Apart from the concubine position, there are still two vacant concubine positions in the palace. There may be more time in the future."

"Your Majesty." Wang Ziteng's tone was a little heavy, with a bit of oppression, "Isn't Your Majesty only thinking about yourself, and not thinking about the Fourth Prince?"

Xue Baochai felt a sense of oppression in her heart, and she asked in a daze, "What does uncle mean?"

"The throne."

Just two words, with a bang, hit Xue Baochai's heart like thunder, she looked straight into Wang Ziteng's eyes, that kind of firm, determined eyes, let her know that her uncle The adults are not kidding.

Wang Ziteng saw that Xue Baochai was a little moved, and continued: "Even if the empress still has a chance to advance to the throne in the future, the fourth prince can only be a prince if he is the top one. In the future, the four princes will not be able to get a good back cover, and most importantly, if one of them takes that position in the future, these other brothers will all become stumbling blocks. Empress, aren't you worried?"

Xue Baochai's heart shook, and she leaned back, her hands trembling slightly.

"The difference of one thought of the empress now, the fate of the four princes will be very different in the future."

"Your Majesty now has a prince, and I am also in control of the army. As long as you make a little move, the whole world will belong to the fourth prince." A gleam flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes.

"Don't you want to be the most honorable woman in the world?!"

Xue Baochai lowered her head, she was thinking of the child's face, pure and innocent.The child looks so much like the emperor, he should be the heir to the throne, in the future he will be the queen mother, the Xue family will be able to break away from the status of a businessman and become the head of the aristocratic family.As long as I control it properly in the future, even generations of queens in the future can come from the Xue family, becoming a truly prominent family for a century.Thinking of these, Xue Baochai's heart was filled with agitation, which was a desire for the highest glory.

"Miss."

Xue Baochai raised her head, her face full of determination, "Uncle, what should I do?"

When Wang Ziteng heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "In a few days, the Fourth Prince will have a happy March, and I will arrange soldiers and horses outside the palace. At that time, the empress only needs to lead the emperor to the bedroom. Put poison on it..."

"Killing the king?!" Xue Baochai exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly realized something, and hurriedly covered her mouth with a startled look on her face.

"If you don't do this, how will the throne be passed on to the fourth prince?"

"But, but..." Xue Baochai couldn't bear to think of the tenderness in his palm during the draft that day.No matter what, he is also my husband in this life and the child's biological father, besides that man...I also have him in my heart...

Wang Ziteng naturally saw Xue Baochai's careful thinking, thinking that after all it was worthless.But he said: "Your Majesty, you should think about it clearly. Is it important to have your own flesh and blood, or an emperor who is ruthless to you? The Emperor favors the Empress and Concubine Wu, and the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see her. If you are not cruel this time If the opportunity is lost in the future, the fourth prince will wait to be squeezed out by other princes and have no place to stand. Since ancient times, many princes and grandchildren have lost their lives on this road. Send to death!"

"No, I don't want my letter to die." Xue Baochai shook her head vigorously.This is my treasure, and it will be my reliance in the future. No matter what I do, I will never allow this child to suffer any grievances.

"The lady's decision?"

"Yes, but you have to test the eunuch for poison, and you won't be able to reach the emperor at all."

"Don't worry, empress, this medicine is colorless and tasteless. The emperor will not die immediately after taking it, but will just fall into a coma. At that time, the humble ministers will lead the troops to the palace Qingjun's side. Push the emperor's affairs to Empress Chen. Cleared away, the imperial concubine's natal family has passed away, and the world is dominated by our Wang Xue family."

Xue Baochai thought for a while about the infant child, finally calmed down, and nodded, "Yeah."
