[Qing Chuan] I became the queen mother after salted fish

It is said that it is for the two princes to prepare for the wedding, but in fact, most of the work is done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As Mianyi's biological mother, Si Ning just follows the queen to choose the pattern and furniture style.

But even this took a lot of thought. Sining took the furniture design presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and looked it over several times, and finally finally settled on a few. As for the undecided ones, she decided to consult Mian. Let's talk about Yi's opinion.

But Fujin is more straightforward, and the style was ordered within a few days, and it is the most complicated and exquisite look in the album.

Niu Hulu was still in front of him and gave Fujin a few details, and the relationship between the two seemed to be going well.

Si Ning has no idea about this matter, as long as people are willing to do well, she doesn't care about others, just do her own thing well, so after Si Ning listened to Qing Dai's report, she forgot about it After that, I went to Mian Yi and asked him about the style of furniture he liked.

But Mian Yi didn't seem to like it very much. Si Ning asked him to read the album, but he didn't bother to read it. He only let Si Ning decide. Set everything down.

After the style was settled, the House of Internal Affairs began to make furniture, and the elder brother's house also began to be repaired. Mian Yi was busy and noisy, so she simply moved to live with Mian Chen.

Mianning can sit still, she doesn't intend to move, she still lives in her courtyard.

Jiaqing even mentioned this to Sining: "Mianning is not very close to his brothers."

When Si Ning heard this, his heart skipped a beat, for fear that he would think that it was Mian Yi and Mian Chen who were rejecting Mian Ning, so he hastily and cautiously tested: "Second Elder Brother has a quiet personality, Mian Yi and Mian Chen are like monkeys, afraid It will also disturb his reading."

Jiaqing smiled after hearing this, as if the words just now had no other meaning: "You are right, Mianning is serious about studying."

Si Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

……

She was so busy until she got married, but just a few days before Mian Yi got married, the queen fell ill, and she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.

As a result of this incident, the happy events will not be lively all of a sudden, the imperial physician goes in and out of Yuqing Palace every day, Si Ning is worried, the queen will not just go there.

But after all the queen survived, she didn't know whether it was because she had a strong desire to live, or because she didn't want her own death to drag her son down, anyway, the day before Mian Yi got married, she also forced herself out of bed.

The entire palace was very lively that day, and Si Ning and the others also lived in the harem on this day.

Fujin moved to Jingren Palace, Si Ning lived in Yikun Palace, Niu Hulu lived in Chengqian Palace, Ying concubine lived in Zhongcui Palace, and Xun concubine lived in Chuxiu Palace behind Yikun Palace. As for the remaining two Chang Zai, Chun Chang lived with Niu Hulu's family, and Rong Chang lived with Concubine Ying.

Si Ning lives alone, she feels good in her heart, but she doesn't know if she will live with other people in this Yikun Palace in the future.

This thought just passed by in a flash, and Si Ning quickly returned to the current work, and moved to a new house, so she should be happy.Si Ning has been looking forward to this day since entering the palace, but thinking that Mian Yi will get married tomorrow, Si Ning has an indescribable feeling in her heart, excited, lost, empty, her own child will become someone else's Her husband and father have a new life. As an old mother, Si Ning has mixed feelings.

But apart from these complicated thoughts, Sining is still very satisfied with Yikun Palace. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw two sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard, which was the same as the sweet-scented osmanthus tree that she had planted at the gate of the back hall of Nansan before. The tree is very similar, but there is a wintersweet tree planted at the entrance of the back hall. It is actually the wintersweet tree that Mianyi had to pick flowers for her when she was a child.

Si Ning was stunned for a moment, then filled with sourness and emotion, her eyes almost turned red.

Zhao Juzhong was serving at the side, seeing Si Ning staring blankly at the plum blossom tree, he hurriedly explained: "This is transplanted by elder brother, who said you like it, and the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees in front are gifted by the emperor. I came down because I thought you were always talking about the beauty of sweet-scented osmanthus trees, so now I will plant two more trees for you."

Si Ning's nose was a little sore, and after a long time, he finally opened his mouth: "I like it very much."

……

The next morning was the day of Mian Yi's big wedding.

Si Ning woke up before dawn, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she had to sit up and lean against the bed to think about things.

In her mind, Mianyi was like when she was a child, calling her mother-in-law in a childish voice, walking on the road, seeing beautiful flowers, insisting on picking them off for her, and nestling in her arms every time When he was sleeping, he always put his little face against her neck, and his little hands hugged her neck tightly.

When he grew up a bit, when he started to study, it was as hot as the dog days and as cold as the three or nine days, but he kept writing and studying hard every day, but when he saw her, he always held his little chin up and acted. Putting on a relaxed look, he smiled and said, "I'm not tired at all, it's all too simple."

Si Ning sometimes feels sorry for him, so that he doesn't have to work so hard, the body is important.

But he said, Er Niang, I like reading.

Mother-in-law, I want to cheer you up.

Erniang, I will protect you when I grow up.

A child who is only seven or eight years old, he had such an idea at that time, and Si Ning felt sad when he thought about it.

Later, he grew into a teenager day by day, and the emotions between his eyebrows and eyes became unfathomable. He would never say stupid things to her again, and he never made her worry about his words and deeds, but Si Ning always I wonder if she didn't take good care of the child.

Is it because she is too weak, which makes the child always feel uneasy, and that's why she has the desire to fight for the position.

Si Ning didn't dare to think deeply, every time she thought about it, it hurt her heart.

Seeing that there was light in the sky, Qing Jin outside also woke up, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Si Ning sitting upright in the tent.

Qing Jin was startled, and hastily stepped forward in two or three steps: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Si Ning suddenly came back to his senses, his thoughts came back.

She nodded after a long time: "Clean up and wash up, in a while, it's time for Mian Yi to say goodbye and greet her."

Qing Jin heard that the tone was a bit wrong, but she didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly helped Si Ning wash and change her clothes.

After washing up, without eating anything, Si Ning went to sit in the main hall, waiting for Mian Yi's arrival.

I don't know how long I waited, but the news finally came from outside that the elder brother came to pay his respects to the imperial concubine.

Si Ning was a little excited and looked at the door anxiously.

Not long after, Mian Yi was dressed in a robe, and walked in from outside the house unhurriedly.

He was already straight and clean, but wearing this clothes, he looked more serious. He walked up to Sining, knelt down on the ground, and bowed to her twice, and Sining's tears had already flowed down He grabbed his hand and said, "Good boy, get up quickly."

Mian Yi didn't get up, but just raised her head, fixedly looking at Si Ning: "Er Niang, when Fujin enters the door, we will honor you together."

With a smile in his tears, Si Ning nodded: "Okay, good boy." Si Ning wiped away tears while speaking: "Today is your good day, Er Niang shouldn't cry."

But Mian Yi smiled: "Er Niang can cry when she wants to cry, and laugh when she wants to. My son knows that you don't want to part with me."

Looking at this child, Si Ning really didn't know what to say, she could only feel like she was a child again, touched his forehead, and said softly: "Mian Yi, once you get married, you will be an adult, you must be good in the future, don't worry about it. If you are wronged, don't wrong Fujin."

Mian Yi nodded with a smile, and rubbed her palm with some attachment, which was a move he hadn't done since he was eight years old.

"Mother, I'm going."

Si Ning couldn't hold back the tears when she heard this, and couldn't speak, so she could only hold her breath and nodded.

Mian Yi took a deep look at Si Ning, then stood up abruptly, and retreated from the room.

Si Ning sat in the room, watching the back of her son leaving, with a half smile on her face, since today, her Mian Yi has also grown up.

……

Mian Yi went to meet the bride, Si Ning sat alone in the room, but lost interest in doing things, just sat there blankly, staring at the void.

After a while, Qing Jin came over and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you haven't had breakfast yet, do you want to set something up?"

Si Ning came back to her senses, and couldn't help laughing at herself for being hypocritical, it was obviously a good day, but she was thinking so wildly.

She sighed: "Let's set the meal, use it up earlier, and go to see the empress."

Qing Jin nodded, then turned around and ordered the people below to prepare the meal.

At this time, Si Ning went to the back room and changed the court clothes on her body.

While serving her to change the court clothes, Qing Dai said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent us a few people. You want to see them. According to your status, there should be four big palace ladies. Now our palace is still short of them." Well, it’s nothing more than a small place in Yuqing Palace before, but now that it’s in the harem, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Thinking about this matter, Si Ning felt a little uninterested, but she couldn't just delay like this, so she could only nod her head: "Let's choose after Mian Yi's marriage is over."

Qing Dai complied.

Si Ning quickly finished his breakfast, and then went to the empress's palace in the same car, the empress was very sick that day, although they were spared to ask for their blessings, they had to come to attend to the sick every day.

When I came here, the smell of medicine in the room was quite strong. Aunt Yuqiu was telling an unfamiliar court lady what to do. When she saw Sining coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "Greetings to the imperial concubine, the empress is just here. Take a break, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."

Si Ning smiled and dismissed her courtesy, and said softly: "Didn't you say that the empress can get out of bed yesterday? But what's wrong today?"

Aunt Yuqiu sighed: "I can insist on sitting for a while, but that's all. This morning when the elder brother came over, the lady just said a few more words, but she became a little tired again, so she took a rest."

"So that's the case." Si Ning understood: "So, it's because of the elder brother's matter that the Empress Empress has bothered."

Aunt Yuqiu still smiled: "Elder brother is also the empress's son, so you should worry about it."

Si Ning only smiled when he heard the impeccable words, "That's also the Empress's kindness."

Afterwards, Si Ning did not see Sitara Shi, and only greeted her outside the main hall of Jingren Palace, and then left.

Aunt Yuqiu sent her to her personally, and she did things in a very two-faced way, without any carelessness.

Si Ning went to her shoulders again, and sighed inwardly, it seems that Sitara's family may really fail this time.

The Bauhinia City was extremely lively that day, Si Ning could hear the faint sound of joy while sitting in the room, but it was a pity that she was not able to attend.

Qing Dai went out to inquire about the news, came back soon, and said with a smile: "Fu Jin's sedan chair has arrived outside the gate of the palace city, and it will come in soon."

Si Ning smiled and felt a bit of joy in her heart.

After a while, Concubine Xun came to Sining Palace again. It was such a big event today, and she was dressed festively. As soon as she entered the door, she praised in a hurry: "Your Majesty, you are really a lucky person. Said, Da Fujin is really a lady from a famous family, she behaves well and speaks well, and she is top-notch among beautiful girls, not to mention that when the dowry was being shopped yesterday, there was no place to stand in the elder brother's house, and the yard almost couldn't fit .”

Si Ning couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the exaggerated words. Yesterday, Si Ning also let the people in her palace watch Niu Hulu's dowry store.

"Okay, okay, when we get married in the future, the scene will definitely be even bigger." Si Ning said with a smile.

Concubine Xun smiled and waved her hands anxiously: "I don't want this as a concubine, as long as Wu Gege can marry a good man, it's almost enough to be as capable and good-tempered as our elder brother."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing again, let's not say in advance, Mian Yi's temper is not good, maybe she still has a bit of a child's temperament, but in front of outsiders, she is really tight, you can't tell his mind and emotions.

But it's not easy to talk to Concubine Xun about this, the two of them can only talk about some family gossip, just talking like this, Si Ning's mood has improved a bit, and she is no longer as lost as before.

……

Today the palace was lively all day, and it didn't quiet down until night. Sining didn't sleep well that night, thinking about seeing his daughter-in-law tomorrow, what should he say, and what should he do with his son in the future? Daughter-in-law get along.

She's not very good at getting along with strangers, but she couldn't bear the feeling that a little girl from Niu Hulu's family would feel that she didn't like her as soon as she entered the palace, so she spent a whole night thinking about how to get along with people. Fell asleep.

She was still woken up by Qing Jin the next morning.

When we came together, it was getting late when we saw the time, Si Ning felt a little flustered, the first day I saw my daughter-in-law, but my mother-in-law overslept, this is not good to say.

Si Ning hastily asked someone to wash and tidy her up, thinking that Mian Yi's first wedding day should not come so early.

It turned out that it really came so early, when Si Ning went out, the young couple had already been waiting outside for a while.

Si Ning felt a little embarrassed, walked to the seat and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Mian Yi and Niu Hulu gave her two kneeling and six kowtows, Si Ning yelled according to the rules, and asked them to sit down.

It was only now that Sining began to look at his daughter-in-law. Niu Hulu's face was not round and blessed like ordinary royal daughters-in-law. She had an oval face, a slightly thinner figure, and she looked good, delicate and fair.

All in all, she's a pretty girl.

She looked gentle and silent, even if she was sitting in front of Mian Yi, the two of them seemed to match each other.

"Can I have breakfast in the morning?" Si Ning asked with a smile.

Mian Yi smiled and replied: "No, I just wanted to have a meal with you."

Si Ning couldn't help laughing: "You monkey, you already have a wife, and you even said some weird things." After she finished speaking, she looked at Niu Hulu gently: "I didn't eat early in the morning, I'm afraid you are also hungry. , I have to salute the queen and emperor later, I'm afraid I don't have time to eat, so you can have a meal at my place today, and leave after eating."

Niu Hulu didn't expect her future mother-in-law to be so talkative, so she hurriedly got up to respond.

They had a pleasant breakfast, and Niu Hulu wanted to serve cloth vegetables, but Si Ning refused.

"We're all a family. If we eat together behind closed doors, there's no need to be like this. Having a warm meal is better than anything else." Si Ning said with a smile.

Niu Hulu looked a little uneasy, and took a careful look at Mianyi.

Mian Yi pursed her lips, and said softly: "Er Niang never likes these things, you should sit down and eat."

Only then was Niu Hulu relieved and sat down.

After dinner, it was getting late, Si Ning took the couple to Jingren Palace.

The queen lay down for a whole day yesterday, and I heard that the imperial doctor went to give an injection. I think the queen will get up to see people today anyway, otherwise there should be something to say.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they were led by Aunt Yuqiu to wait in the main hall. After a while, the queen walked out of the room with Haitang's support.

Her complexion was still a bit unwell, but maybe it was powdered, so she couldn't tell. She was wearing a court dress and looked very formal.

Si Ning got up and bowed to the queen, the queen raised her hand and told her to sit up.

Seeing that her breath was not smooth, she said lightly: "It's early."

Si Ning smiled: "I was just about to bring the two of them here to kowtow to you."

Sitara nodded.

Aunt Yuqiu watched this scene, and hurriedly brought over two cushions. Mianyi and Niuhulu knelt down and saluted the queen again.

Although the queen saw that she was not breathing enough, she insisted on admonishing them before letting them stand up.

"Now that you are married, you are considered an adult, and you should get along well with Fujin in the future." Fujin finally said.

Mian Yi accepted them one by one, showing no trace of impatience.

Seeing how respectful he was, Fujin felt satisfied in his heart. In addition, his body became weaker and weaker, so he didn't keep them anymore. He only gave the couple a pair of jade pendants, and then sent the mother and son away with two or three sentences.

After leaving Jingren Palace, seeing that it was getting late, Si Ning said to Mian Yi: "Look at the time, it's time to go to court, you go to Yuqing Palace to pay your respects to Huang Ama first, and then go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation Kowtow to you Huang Mafa, don't delay."

Mian Yi nodded, sent Si Ning back first, and then went to Yuqing Palace.

As soon as Si Ning returned to Yikun Palace, she saw two people standing outside the house, Qing Dai was talking to them, seeing Si Ning came back, she hurried up to greet her: "Your Majesty, this is the person sent by the House of Internal Affairs, You see what to do with it."

Si Ning took a look and nodded: "Go in and talk, I'll get to know the person first."

Qing Dai responded, and greeted those people to enter the main hall.

There were a total of twelve people sent by the House of Internal Affairs, two of them were the big maids who supplied her, and there were ten people left, including four little maids and six little eunuchs.

Si Ning looked at each other one by one, pointed at the two people who stood in front and looked at the highest level of dress and asked, "Where did you come from before?"

One of the two looks mediocre, and the other looks pretty.

The pretty one was more courageous, and opened her mouth first: "The slave has been in the palace for three years, and he served in Chuxiu Palace before."

The other one who was more dull also replied: "The slave has been in the palace for two years and serves in Changchun Palace."

Si Ning listened and nodded: "Very well, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs has assigned you to me, it means that you have acted properly before, and you will follow the rules and do things well in the future. I will not treat you badly."

When Qiaoli heard this, she hurriedly took the lead and knelt down: "Your servant obeys, thank you for your kindness."

Others followed suit and knelt down to give thanks.

Si Ning felt that this pretty girl was quite interesting, and was about to ask her name, but she looked up and said: "The servant was serving elsewhere before, and there is no catchy name, so I need to ask the mother to give it a name. "

Si Ning was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was a show of loyalty to herself, so she followed suit and said with a smile: "In that case, then you will be called Qing He, and you will be called Qing Cha." She pointed to the mediocre maid.

Both of them agreed in unison, but as for the remaining little maids, she didn't need to name them.

When the maids and eunuchs all retired, Si Ning asked Qing Dai and Qing Jin to lead the newcomers Qing He and Qing Cha to do things. They should be properly assigned to the rough work outside, teach them good manners, and don't let them quarrel.

As for the eunuchs, they all belonged to Zhao Juzhong's subordinates. So far, he, the chief eunuch, has finally come to fruition.

……

After settling his affairs in the palace, Si Ning was free, and on weekdays he either talked with Wu Linzhu and the little Niu Hulu family who came to pay his respects, or read and write, living a leisurely life.

Little Niu Hulu is a person with high emotional intelligence. Although he is gentle and silent, he always speaks in a proper and decent way when he should speak, and never says a word more when he should not speak.

Even the queen and the big Niu Hulu family like her character.

Every time the queen looked at her, there was a look of regret in her eyes. Si Ning knew what she was regretting, but even if she was the queen, she couldn't intervene in matters like the prince's marriage.

Soon, it entered November, and Mianning also got married. On the second day, Mianning brought the Guerjia family into the palace to salute the queen, and Si Ning saw the Guerjia family again.

She was indeed beautiful, and she couldn't hide her beauty even in the stone blue court dress. Mianning looked at her brows with joy, and she probably liked this Fujin very much.

It's just that Sitara's face was full of sorrow, and only when the two of them kowtowed to her, did he forcefully smile and forcefully braced his body for a long time. Anyway, Si Ning felt that it took longer than the time Mianyi gave her. long.

After the exhortations were over, the two got up and gave the young couple a jade pendant, which was similar to the one given to Mianyi and the couple, without any selfishness at all.

Guerjia thanked him with a smile, Mianning didn't seem to care too much, the two of them took the things and retreated, ready to kowtow to Jiaqing and Qianlong.

Seeing people leave, Sitara couldn't help sighing again.

Da Niu Hulu looked on, smiled and said at the right time: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured now, our second elder brother and Er Fujin seem to be getting along well, they are really a good couple."

What else could Sitara say, he could only forcefully smile.
