The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The room was obviously warm, but Qiqige felt cold all over, like falling into an ice cellar.

The leisurely life made Qiqige relax her vigilance. She forgot that the queen mother is not an ordinary middle-aged woman, but a ruthless person who brought her young son through the bloody storm.

Qiqige's heart was beating wildly, "What does the Queen Mother want me to do?" Shall I do it?

The queen mother said coolly: "I don't need you to do anything, you just need to watch. Qiqige, you are the queen, and you will be the queen mother in the future. If one day I die, you have to learn to be the next me. "

Coming out of the queen mother's room, Qiqige seemed to have lost her soul. When she stepped down the steps, she stepped on the air and almost fell to the ground.

La Aunt Su Ma hurried forward, Aruna smiled and pushed her aside, "Auntie, let me do it!"

Aruna helped Qiqige leave the Compassion Palace, and Linnet followed behind with the reward in her arms.

Qiqige said to Linque: "Go back to Xian'an Palace to deliver things! Aruna and I will go to the imperial garden."

The cardinal left with her things in her arms, and Aruna asked softly, "Your Majesty, did the Queen Mother embarrass you?"

Qiqige shook her head, "No, the queen mother knows about the emperor, she wants to get rid of that woman."

Aruna frowned, "Could it be that the queen mother wants you to do it? The empress is kind and simple, how can she do such a dirty thing?"

"I don't need to do it, the queen mother will take care of it."

Aruna said: "That's good, don't worry, Madam, just pretend you don't know."

Qiqige laughed softly: "What you said is interesting, I am kind and simple so I can't do it myself, so what is it to stand on the sidelines?"

Aruna said embarrassingly: "I don't care about others, as long as the empress is happy."

Qiqige didn't say anything, and took Aruna to the small vegetable garden.

In autumn, the chrysanthemums and begonias in the imperial garden are in full bloom.And Qiqige's small vegetable garden has long been deserted, all the dead branches and leaves have been pulled out, leaving only the bare loess, which is very inconsistent with the exquisite imperial garden.

Qiqige looked at her small vegetable garden, wondering what she was thinking.

Aruna asked: "Your Majesty, before you came to the capital, didn't you say that you only wanted to protect yourself in the palace, and didn't care about other things? The Queen Mother didn't force you to do it, so why do you feel bad about other people's affairs? That woman did such a thing. After all, she deserved what she deserved."

"Aruna, I am a stupid person, but I especially like to think about some profound issues. For example, how should I spend my life, what kind of person should I be. I have been thinking since I was born, until now I didn't even think about it. I think the problem of style is not a crime of death, and I shouldn't just ignore it, but after thinking about it, I think I'm a trash saint who meddles in my own business. I don't want to be swallowed up by this deep palace and become a cold-blooded and ruthless person. But I don’t want to be too simple to kill myself.”

Aruna frowned and was troubled. She was proficient in three languages, Mongolian and Khan, and was familiar with Buddhist scriptures and Confucian classics, but she didn't know how to persuade Qiqige to be happy.

Qiqige squatted on the ground to play with the soil, and after a while she said to Aruna: "Aruna, go and find out about the emperor and that woman."

Aruna asked: "Your Majesty, have you figured it out?"

Qiqige got up and said: "Well! I figured it out, I want to live gently in this cold and ruthless world... No wonder! The only thing I can sell is money, because of the land and half of the treasures in the warehouse. For the sake of it, I will help the dog emperor once! After all, what bad thoughts can a dog have? He just wants to eat shit!"

Aruna didn't care about the life and death of that woman and the emperor, she just wanted Qiqige to be happy.

"Your Majesty, it's good if you figure it out. It's a good season for nourishment. What would you like to have for lunch?"

"Let's just eat something simple! Let's have a dog meat banquet. I heard that dog meat is great tonic, so I want to eat this!"

If you can't peel off the dog emperor's skin, then eat his fellow clan! .

It's a pity that Qi Qige didn't eat it in the end, because the people don't eat dog meat, and the dining room is not prepared at all.

Aruna was extremely efficient, but within half a day she had inquired about many old things.

In the evening, Qiqige took off her makeup and hair and reclined on the bed, and Aruna sat opposite her in a robe.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor and the Dong E family have known each other since they were in Shengjing."

Qiqige sat up abruptly, "Eh? They are childhood sweethearts! I thought they hooked up when Dong Eshi was serving sick in the palace."

Aruna said: "The emperor and Dong E's were childhood playmates. Later, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the emperor was in the capital, and Dong E's went to the south of the Yangtze River with his father. A few years ago, Dong E's returned to Beijing to participate in the draft, and the emperor liked her." , wanted to marry her as the queen. The queen mother thought that Dong E's status was low, and her family background was not as good as that of Xian'an Palace's Dong E, so she could not provide assistance to the emperor. In the end, the regent and the queen mother forced the emperor to marry the former queen. "

"Become a concubine if you can't become a queen! How could Dong E marry Prince Xiang?"

Aruna: "The emperor is young and vigorous, and he threatened to make Dong E's family an imperial concubine. At this time, the previous queen has not yet married. The emperor loves Dong E's family so much. How can there be a queen? Therefore, the queen mother is determined not to allow it." Dong E's entry into the palace, even a concubine is not allowed. The emperor did not give up, he did not allow Dong E's marriage, the queen mother did not allow Dong E's entry into the palace, so Dong E's marriage was put on hold.

"The government affairs of the court are controlled by the regent, and he can't even make decisions about the marriage. The emperor's temper became more and more irritable. He vented his anger on the former queen and often made things difficult on purpose. This kind of idleness can be tolerated once or twice. Who can bear to make things difficult for years? Come on? Doesn’t even the good temper of the empress make you jump in anger?”

Qiqige rubbed her chin, "Later, the emperor was in charge, and he abolished her under the pretext of being extravagant, just to marry Dong E?"

"Exactly. The Empress Dowager did not expect that after so many years, the emperor still hadn't given up. In the end, the emperor lost in the mother-son game. He married you, and the Dong E family was given a marriage to Prince Xiang. Although this past incident was covered up , but Prince Xiang had been living in the palace before getting married, so he had heard about it a little bit. He was more concerned about this, and it was just to save face for Dong E, and Dong E's life was not very happy."

Qiqige sighed: "According to what you said, I am the one who intervenes in their feelings."

In Aruna's eyes, Qiqige is perfect, she defended Qiqige: "Your Majesty doesn't know about all this, what does it have to do with you?"

Qi Qige asked: "How is Dong E's personality?"

"It is said that she is gentle and virtuous. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Because she has lived in Jiangnan, she has a kind of graceful and graceful Jiangnan woman, which is very different from the hearty and enthusiastic Fujin in the palace."

Qi Qige asked again: "How sincere do you think the emperor treats Dong E?"

Aruna thought for a while and said: "If the queen mother is drafted for the first time and agrees to Dong E's entry into the palace, this is about three points of sincerity. If the former queen is deposed and the queen mother allows her to enter the palace, the emperor's sincerity toward her is about six points." .Now Mrs. Dong E is married to someone else's wife, and life is not going well. Love without pity, the emperor's sincerity is about ten percent."

This is what Aruna found out. The emperor married a woman he didn't like, and Dong E's heart was depressed when he married someone he didn't like. When two depressed people collide, the old relationship will definitely rekindle.

It's getting late, and I have to greet the Queen Mother tomorrow.Aruna helped Qiqige to lie down, then put down the bed curtain and went to watch the night on the soft bed outside.

Qiqige tossed and turned on the big bed with her eyes closed and didn't sleep all night. After paying her respects the next day, Qiqige stayed in the Compassion Palace.

"Empress Dowager, my concubine has a way, maybe I can achieve my goal without getting rid of Dong E."

The queen mother said: "You don't know the emperor's attachment to Dong E's family. As long as Dong E's family is still alive, the emperor will not give up."

Qiqige got up and saluted solemnly, "The queen mother, please give me a few days, and I have arrangements for the family banquet on the [-]th of August. If the concubine's method doesn't work, it won't be too late for the queen mother to do it later."

"You have to know that Dong E's life is not good for you. Why did the emperor ask you to pay for the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet with your own money? Because the class started that day Dong E's entry into the palace aroused the emperor's resentment. Why did the emperor cut the palace banquet? Expenses, because from the end of the course that day, Dong Eshi can no longer enter the palace, he can't see anyone, so he blamed you."

Qi Qige said stubbornly: "I know that in your eyes, letting Dong E's family go is ignorance and stupidity. But the root of this matter lies with the emperor, not Dong E's family. Without Dong E's family, there can be others , getting rid of Dong E will only make your relationship with the emperor worse."

It would be fine if Dong Eshi was a witch who would bring disaster to the country and the people, but Dong Eshi had no choice from the beginning to the end of the matter.The emperor wanted her to enter the palace, but the queen mother refused. The game between their mother and son caused Dong E's youth to be delayed, and in the end she was randomly assigned to a stranger.

If possible, Qiqige would rather kill the emperor than harm Dong Eshi.

The queen mother twisted the beads, not knowing what she was thinking.After a while, the queen mother rolled the beads around her wrist.

"It's only three to five days until around August [-]th, and I'll give you a chance."

Qiqige saluted again, "Thank you Queen Mother."

When things are hidden in my heart, time passes slowly.In addition to being busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Qiqige also had to arrange the family banquet on August [-]th, so she was dizzy and exhausted all day long.

The palace banquet on August [-]th, Qiqige was absent-minded and confused, she didn't know what she ate or what was sung on the stage.That night Qiqige fell asleep early, and on August [-]th, Qiqige went to the Royal Garden to host a family banquet in high spirits.

In the imperial garden, the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress occupied a big round table, Fujin had a long table for two, and concubines had a long table for three.

A charcoal stove is placed between the tables, and there is a cover on the stove that allows the heat to pass through, so that even an open-air banquet will not feel cold.

It was not yet time to watch the moon and eat, so Qiqige got up and picked up the teacup.

"Today is a family banquet, everyone, don't be restrained. Speaking of which, the sisters in the palaces are still in the honor of the queen mother. This time, the palace specially invited the queen mother. But the queen mother is thinking about the emperor and the sisters in the palaces, so I brought you here."

Everyone hurriedly got up to toast the Queen Mother with tea instead of wine, and the emperor also toasted the Queen Mother lazily.

The queen mother looked very happy, "Okay, okay, everyone sit down! The queen is a rich man, don't be polite to her today!"

Qiqige smiled and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the concubine has already responded! Let's drink tea and listen to the book in the afternoon, and Xiao Mingzi in the concubine's palace has written a new script. I just hope that everyone will drink more tea while listening to the book. Eat less at night, so the concubine will save money!"

The Queen Mother laughed and said: "How cunning! I don't listen to you! What about the storyteller? Let him speak well, and he will be rewarded for his speech!"

Xiao Mingzi changed into brand-new clothes, he bent over to salute, with dimples on his face, he was happy just looking at it.

The concubines were all very excited, the queen is too busy recently, they haven't listened to books for a long time!

Xiao Mingzi told about an affair between a prince of the royal family and an official's wife.The son and the woman fell in love with each other, but they separated because of the pressure of the world.A period of emotional entanglement occurred in the middle. The son and the woman still loved each other and often had trysts secretly. Although they never crossed the line, in the end the matter was revealed. The woman committed suicide under the pressure of the world, and the son also died in love.

After the story was told, the emperor gave Qiqige a meaningful look.

Qiqige was sobbing and wiping away her tears, the concubines couldn't control themselves, they were also sobbing softly.

The queen mother sighed: "This story is different from the scriptures that are circulated today. It is indeed somewhat new and very touching."

E Wenzhu cried: "What a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, that Mrs. Shizi is too bad, how could she force Hui Niang to death. Mrs. Shizi should go to hell!"

Hui Niang is the heroine of the story, and Mrs. Shizi exposed the adultery indirectly leading to Hui Niang's tragic ending.

Qiqige glared at her younger sister, "Sister Keng's fucked up thing, this is a magical modification based on reality, take your seat, your sister, I am the wife of Shizi!"

Age also scolded: "Yes! That Mrs. Shizi is too vicious! Huiniang's husband is not a good person either!"

Qiqige couldn't help laughing and defended Mrs. Shizi and Hui Niang's husband, "In order to sing the beautiful love, the book will naturally discredit the supporting characters. If this happened in reality, you are the husband of Mrs. Shizi and Hui Niang. What will you do again?"

Age said: "If the concubine is the wife of the prince, she will definitely not do what she said in the story book."

The emperor smiled and said: "That's right! Hui Niang's feelings are pure and sincere, she is not wrong."

Age shook his head in surprise, "No! Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the concubine. If the concubine was the wife of the prince, she would have knocked on the door long ago, stripped off Hui Niang's clothes, and see if she dares to steal the man!"

emperor:"……"

All the concubines echoed in unison, "That's right! Although they are passionate and polite, but my husband has all his heart on other women, what does he think of Mrs. Shizi?"

"Mrs. Shizi wants to housekeeper, serve her parents-in-law, and bear children for him. She doesn't appreciate her hard work and her husband at all. This is too much!"

"When the son was in love, it was the wife who took care of his parents; when the son was making vows, the wife had to prepare hot soup and rice for him to go home. When the son wanted to elope with Hui Niang, the wife took care of him when he was sick. The child is worried. After much deliberation, a husband like Shizi might as well be a show!"

The scene turned into a conference for complaining about the world, and Qiqige quickly brought the topic back.

"I think Hui Niang is pitiful. She married someone she doesn't like, and her life is not going well. The son is her life-saving straw in her depressed life."

The emperor nodded slightly, seeming to agree.

Mrs. Dong E argued: "Your Majesty's words don't make sense. The concubine thought that it was this prince who killed Hui Niang. People are quite tolerant towards men, but they are especially harsh on women. After the incident is revealed, the prince is still the prince, and will be able to do so in the future." Inheriting the title, in the eyes of the world, it is just a romantic affair, harmless. But to Hui Niang, it is a disaster. Although she has never crossed the line, her reputation has been dirty. She has no way to wash it away except death own stigma."

Concubine Nala said: "What my sister said is very true. Not only Hui Niang's reputation has been ruined, but her family's reputation has also been ruined. In the future, it will be difficult for her cousins ​​to find someone else."

Another person said: "When I was at home, I heard that there is a kind of wicked people in the world. They make up women and treat women extremely badly. Some women are clearly innocent, but because they are splashed with dirty water, they can only die with hatred. It's not easy for this innocent woman to live, let alone Huiniang. If she doesn't die, I don't know what other people have arranged for her!"

The emperor's forehead was covered with sweat, and there was no trace of blood on his face and lips.

Qiqige said: "What you said is also reasonable. The eldest son in the story went with Hui Niang. If he is still alive, the story will change. He will become a bad man who seduces a good woman, and finally kills someone and lives happily. Free story."

Dong Efujin smiled and said: "My lady, just listen to the sentimental stories for fun, but it doesn't make sense in real life. If this kind of thing really happened in reality, Hui Niang and Shizi must be reviled by thousands of people, even if they die The world should also praise them for their good death. How many people have been cheated by their love, Mrs. Shizi, Hui Niang's husband, Hui Niang's natal family, which one is not the victim."

The queen mother smiled and said, "It's just listening to the book, you guys are arguing."

Qiqige smiled and said: "The more you discern the reason, the clearer it is! Today is a family banquet, so I don't have so many scruples. I ask all the sisters, if you choose, would you choose the eldest son as your husband, or Hui Niang's husband? Let me first Generally speaking, although Huiniang's husband is more handsome, but the family background is prominent, so I choose... the handsome one."

The emperor was present, and it was inappropriate for Qiqige to ask this question.

But the Mongolian concubines such as E Wenzhu and Age were bold, and they said one after another: "My son is gentle and affectionate, so I choose the handsome one!"

"Huiniang's husband is too boring and not as considerate as Shizi, so I choose the handsome one!"

"Huiniang's husband is just a small official, so there is no good son, so I also choose the handsome one!"

The emperor's face at this moment looks like he has been constipated for three years, and his face is yellow.

Coincidentally, Prince Xiang didn't receive an errand in the court, nor was he famous, but he was famously handsome.
