The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

In the Kunning Palace, the emperor and Hesheli's tent sitting ceremony is being held. After the ceremony, they will go to the Compassion Ning Palace to pay respects and offer tea.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager and Qi Qige sat together with smiles on their faces.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "I don't want anything else in my life, I just want my children and grandchildren to be healthy and smooth, and the Qing Dynasty will be prosperous and the people will be safe. If the emperor marries a wife, he will be considered an adult, and I am more than half relieved."

The Empress Dowager is a traditional woman, her wish is to take care of her husband and raise her children well.She has ambitions, but not many ambitions; she has abilities and wrists, but these abilities and wrists are used to assist her children and grandchildren. As long as the children and grandchildren can stand up, she can immediately let go of the power in her hand.

No one can resist the charm of power, and the empress dowager who can take the initiative to let go of power is a remarkable person.

Qiqige smiled at the Empress Dowager: "You haven't reached the time to relax yet! Raising a child is a hundred years old, and worrying about 99 years. The emperor has not yet taken charge of the government. You still have a lot to do!"

She crossed her legs and shook her head triumphantly, "Unlike me, I don't have to deal with palace affairs when I have a daughter-in-law. Then I will have nothing to do, and I will sleep when I am full, eat when I am full, and go to the palace when I have enough to lie down." Open up wasteland in the garden, dig out all those peonies and peonies, and plant them all with Chinese cabbage!"

The empress dowager laughed at her, "I'm already a mother-in-law, but I'm still so unsteady, am I ashamed?"

Qiqige pretended to be surprised and said: "We have been together for so many years, don't you understand me? When did I feel ashamed?"

The Empress Dowager nodded helplessly, "That's true."

Qiqige's famous saying: My face is like a floating cloud to me. I hope everyone can embarrass me for me when an embarrassing scene happens. Don't let me remind you, understand?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking when a eunuch came to report that the emperor and queen would be arriving soon.

Qiqige quickly sat upright, pretending to be generous and calm.

The emperor and empress walked in hand in hand in auspicious clothes. The two were dressed solemnly, but they still looked childish.

Qiqige felt funny and sad when she saw it.The marriage of the two children is like playing house, but after today, they are no longer children, and they have to shoulder the responsibility with their immature shoulders.

The emperor and the Hershey family saluted and offered tea, and Aunt Su Ma handed over the meeting gift prepared by the Empress Dowager. It was also a set of headgear, gold inlaid with rubies, the gem material was excellent, and the workmanship was excellent, which was more valuable than the one prepared by Qi Qige. , It looks better than Qiqige's preparation.

The Empress Dowager said a few words, nothing more than encouraging them to live a good life.After the empress dowager finished speaking, she motioned for Qiqige to say a few more words.

Qiqige thought, what can I say?I have treated the relationship between husband and wife as uncle and nephew, and I have no successful experience in marriage that Xuan Ye can learn from.

She lowered her head and smiled, "I don't know what to say, I just hope you are happy and safe and well."

If a person can be safe and happy for a lifetime, he is very blessed.I hope you will be a blessed person.

Aruna held out a large flat box, and Qiqige smiled and said, "A little gift, let's play with it! If you don't like this style, you can melt it and make it again."

Aruna lifted the lid of the box, and the golden light dazzled people's eyes.She handed the box to Hesheli, who almost missed it with his little arms.

Xuan Ye laughed when he saw it, this set of pure gold must have weighed several kilograms!

Hershey was terrified when she received such a gift, she smiled and thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness, but she was thinking about Qiqige's intention in her heart.

After paying homage to the tea emperor, Hesheli had no time to think about it, so he could only put down his worries and concentrate on other things.

The emperor's wedding process is cumbersome. Later, the emperor goes to the front to have a banquet with his officials, and the empress and the empress dowager entertain their wives in the harem.

The next day, it was announced to the world that the emperor was married, so it was considered a ceremony.

Hershey was busy for several days, and when she was finally free, she immediately took out the gold jewelry given by the queen mother and looked at it.

She looked over and over for a long while, but really couldn't figure out the Queen Mother's intentions.These jewelry designs are ordinary, except for being heavy, they have no other characteristics.

She asked her dowry mother, "You said...why did the queen mother give this?"

Mammy smiled and said, "Of course I like you and value you! How sincere is this gold jewelry!"

Hershey shook her head, "No... Grandfather once offended the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must have her intentions in giving this set of jewelry."

Is the Queen Mother warning me?She hopes that I can withstand the fire like gold?

The mother said: "Did you think too much, everyone in the palace has a delicate heart, even if she is angry with you because of the master, she will not bully you openly. This is a gift for the daughter-in-law, everyone She can see it all, she dare not play tricks on it."

The Hershey family still couldn't feel at ease. The Queen Mother's ability to see through people's hearts left a deep impression on her. Later, her grandfather also fell into the Queen Mother's hands, and the Hesheli family couldn't help but think too much.

The nanny brought by her natal family couldn't understand herself, and Hesheli never talked about this topic with her again.

A few days later, Mrs. Niu Hulu came to Kunning Palace to ask to see the Empress. After the business was finished, the two looked at each other, not knowing what to talk about.Everyone could get along well when they were beautiful women, but now they are all married to the emperor, one is a wife and the other is a concubine, but they don't know how to communicate.

The two looked at each other in embarrassment, and Hesheli suddenly asked: "I'm asking a presumptuous question, what gift does the Queen Mother give you?"

This question just hit Niu Hulu's heart, "The queen mother gave me a gold collar and a pair of gold bracelets. The design is relatively simple, but it is very important. I... the concubine wanted to ask the empress, what did the queen mother give me?" What is the purpose of heavy gold jewelry?"

Hesheli couldn't help getting closer, "The empress dowager gave me gold jewelry too. I studied it for a few days, but I couldn't figure it out!"

The two of them have similar family backgrounds. The elders of the family have offended the Queen Mother, and they both got solid gold jewelry. What does the Queen Mother want to express?

The two got together and muttered for a long time, but they couldn't see through the secret of the gold jewelry.In the end, Niu Hulu could only leave with regret. Although she did not understand the secret of the gold jewelry, her relationship with the queen was much closer.

Not long after the wedding, the emperor took people to hunt in Nanyuan.

In the past, when he went to Nanyuan, it seemed like he was practicing martial arts and playing around like a child.This Nanyuan hunt has a different meaning, which means that Xuan Ye is a young emperor who has already married.He hunted to promote the martial spirit of the Manchus, which has certain political significance.

Even though she has lived here for more than 20 years, Qiqige often cannot understand the thoughts of the world.

After the emperor got married, some ministers seized the opportunity and secretly pledged their allegiance to Xuan Ye, expressing that they were not in the same faction as the four ministers.

This was absolutely not the case before Xuan Ye got married, as if Xuan Ye got married, everything had a different meaning.

The emperor learned to be independent in the previous dynasty, and Qiqige felt that the queen should also take responsibility, and it was almost time to learn to handle palace affairs.

This is by no means an excuse for Qiqige to be lazy, absolutely not!

Hershey had learned how to be a housekeeper when he was at home, and handling palace affairs would not be much more difficult than being a housekeeper.There are old rules, just follow the rules.But when Hershey heard that the Queen Mother was going to teach her housekeeping, she felt extremely uneasy.

Queen Mother, what does this mean?Is she going to embarrass me in the name of instructing palace affairs?

That's right, the Empress Dowager has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, so it's easy to do something.She generously taught me that palace affairs are the kindness of elders, if I do not do well, I will be incompetent, and I will definitely be ridiculed by others.

Hershey was frightened by her own reasoning, she felt wronged, and had nothing to say about her worries.Because of her attachment to her husband, Hesheli chatted with the emperor.

"The empress dowager wants to take me to handle palace affairs, and the concubines are terrified."

Xuan Ye nodded after hearing this, "Maybe the Empress is lazy again..."

He smiled and comforted his daughter-in-law, "In this way, I will work harder for you."

Hershey was silent, she hadn't prepared well yet, the emperor was about to end the topic with a word.

Hesheli forced a smile and said: "The concubine is not afraid of being tired, nor is she afraid of hard work. It's just...the concubine is young and short-sighted. I'm afraid I will fail the Queen Mother's expectations."

Because he has seen the suffering of his own mother and concubines, Xuan Ye is very patient and gentle with his wives and concubines.

He comforted her softly: "Don't be nervous, the empress is the most talkative person in the palace, and she is the least scheming, just treat her as a friend. You just learned how to handle palace affairs, how can you do it well?" If it’s not good, don’t be afraid, the Empress will take care of it for you, if the Empress can’t handle it, there will still be the Empress Grandmother. You just have to let your hands and feet go and do things boldly.”

Hershey originally wanted the emperor to refuse the palace affairs for her, but she didn't expect to hear a lot of compliments from the emperor to the empress.

She knew that the emperor would be unhappy if he continued to refuse, and would feel that she was ignorant of flattery.In desperation, Hesheli could only accept the arrangement of the queen mother and emperor with a smile.

Ever since learning how to handle palace affairs with the Queen Mother, Hershey has been worried every day.But the difficulties she thought did not come for a long time, the Queen Mother treated her like her own daughter, and spoke kindly and humorously, which made people feel fond of her.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Qiqige simply let Hesheli take care of it.

The Hershey family took care of all the New Year's affairs with trepidation. Although there were some minor problems in the process, they finally got this big event done.

After the new year, Qiqige officially handed over the palace affairs to the Hesheli family.It wasn't until this moment that Hershey could react.It seems... as if... the Queen Mother doesn't hate herself.

The Hesheli who reacted felt ashamed in her heart. The queen mother treated her so well, but she kept looking at the queen mother with a scrutiny and defense. She was really disgusting.

Hesheli couldn't help talking about this matter with the emperor, and told all about his mental journey.

"The concubine was ignorant and misunderstood the queen mother. The queen mother can see through people's hearts. Have my little thoughts been seen by the queen mother? Tell me, how should I apologize to the queen mother?"

Hershey is a smart girl, she thought that her defense was seen by the Queen Mother.Instead of being vague and fooling around, it is better to express your apology openly.

Xuan Ye almost spit out the tea in his mouth after listening to his wife's confession.

Xuan Ye: "Do you think that the empress dowager gave you solid gold jewelry with deep meaning, that the empress dowager can read people's hearts?"

The Hesheli family quickly said: "It's all because the concubine is stupid, and treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The Queen Mother is smart, but she will not use her scheming on the concubine. It is the concubine who is narrow-minded."

Xuan Ye couldn't bear it anymore, and fell down on the table with a smile.

Hesheli didn't know which sentence he said wrong, and was very flustered.

"emperor……"

When Xuan Ye had laughed enough, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"You think too much! How can the Queen's mother have scheming? Didn't I tell you before that the Queen's lady was just lazy, so she pushed the palace affairs to you! It's nothing if she gave you solid gold jewelry Deep meaning, it’s just because she loves gold the most, even more than pearls and jade. She can give you the gold she likes the most, which shows that she likes you very much.”

After saying words of comfort, Xuan Ye solemnly warned Hesheli again.

"You are a very smart person. Smart people like to think a lot, I can understand. But in front of the empress dowager and the empress dowager, you have to put away your little thoughts. Especially the empress dowager, she has the heart of a child. Heart, sincere and true. Don't use your mind to figure out her mind. "

The Hesheli quickly agreed, and she asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how should my concubine apologize to the Queen Mother?"

Xuan Ye smiled, "There is no need to make an apology, I can swear that your little Si Huang Er Niang didn't notice at all. You must not make amends, otherwise Huang Er Niang will seize this matter and make fun of you for the rest of your life!"

Hesheli couldn't understand what the emperor said, the queen mother doesn't seem like someone who likes to make fun of others!But the emperor had already scolded her just now, she dared not disobey the emperor's words, so she could only stop apologizing.

Although he couldn't apologize in person, Hesheli still felt guilty in his heart.She treated Qiqige with more respect than before, and often found some good things to honor Qiqige, and by the way, honor the Empress Dowager.

Since the palace affairs were taken over by the Hesheli family, Qiqige has more time.She did not give up studying medical skills, but there are too many medical books, and medical skills cannot be practiced in a year or so.

Tired of memorizing books, Qiqige plans to go a little crooked.

She first bribed a few young eunuchs in the imperial hospital to observe the medical books that the imperial physicians often study recently.

She has already read and recited the basic medical books, and she also memorized the books that imperial physicians often read. In addition, she found the examination papers for the selection of imperial physicians in imperial hospitals in recent years, and started to do the questions frantically.

When she was almost done studying, she took the time to go to the empress dowager and the emperor, and let them inspect her study results.She was afraid that if it was later, all the things she had memorized would be forgotten.

Hesheli heard that the Queen Mother specially went to learn medical skills in order to take care of the Empress Dowager's body, and was moved and admired in her heart.

She began to brag about her mother-in-law without thinking, "The empress dowager is so filial, she is a model for my concubines to learn from. According to my concubine, it should be recorded in the history books, and it will last forever and teach future generations."

Qiqige waved her hand modestly, "Hey, this is what I should do, it's not worth it. Which history book should I write it in? You can't pass it in just two or three sentences! This story must be written in more than [-] words. It would be better to add more.”

Hesheli covered her mouth and smiled, "The Empress is so funny and humorous. It would be even better if the deeds of the Empress were compiled into a play and let the world sing about it!"

The emperor found that since the Hershey family dispelled the misunderstanding of the queen mother, she worshiped the queen mother too much.

He interrupted his daughter-in-law's rainbow fart, "Others would spend their entire lives daring not to say that they have mastered medical skills, but how long has your mother-in-law learned to say that she has mastered it?"

Qiqige smiled sternly, "Everyone's talent is different, and I'm a one-in-a-million genius! You just call the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital and ask them to ask questions on the spot. I'll answer them on the spot and see how I learn!"

The emperor didn't think much about it, he summoned the imperial physicians following Qiqige's wishes, and asked them to bring the examination papers for selecting imperial physicians over the years.

The emperor reads a lot of books, and likes to study medical books on weekdays, and often discusses with imperial physicians.

The imperial doctors arrived with the test papers, and the emperor checked a few difficult questions from the test papers, and then asked the imperial doctors to answer a few more questions.

The imperial physicians didn't know who was going to answer the question, thinking that the emperor wanted to test themselves on a whim.If the emperor does not do well in the exam, the emperor will lose face. In order to relieve the emperor's worries, the imperial doctors discussed and asked some simple questions.

In this way, a test paper with extreme difficulty and difficulty appeared.

Qiqige smiled disdainfully, picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, and handed it to Aruna to help her write and answer.

Qiqige: Just kidding, memorizing is already very difficult, who has time to practice calligraphy!

She sat beside her to dictate, and Aruna answered the questions with a pen.

The two cooperated tacitly, and they finished answering a set of test papers in less than a quarter of an hour.

When Qiqige was answering the question, everyone watched from the sidelines. When she finished answering the question, the emperor roughly looked at it, and then handed it to the imperial doctor for marking.

Qiqige got a perfect score on this hastily put together test paper. She not only has solid basic knowledge, but she also knows how to answer difficult questions.

The emperor found it unbelievable, and Qiqige asked with a smile: "I dare not say that I have great medical skills, but I dare say that I have unique insights into the way of keeping in good health. Should you also fulfill your promise? Empress Dowager, I will Come and take care of your food. Your majesty, you promised me something before, and now it's time to honor it!"

The emperor is a gentleman who keeps his promises, so he agreed immediately.

"Okay! What does Queen Mother want?"

Qiqige smiled shyly: "I remember you have a landscape painting of Tang Bohu, can I go to your warehouse to see it?"

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Mother Huang'er just go get it herself!"

The empress dowager, who had been silent all this time, became even more silent when she saw this scene. She covered her face, unable to bear to watch history repeat itself.
