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

Concubine Yi sat on the bed with a bitter expression on her face, staring at the window in a daze, unable to recover for a moment.

At this moment, Qiulan, the eldest palace maid in front of Concubine Yi, came in and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the emperor's reward has also arrived."

Concubine Yi smiled wryly: "It took a day to send it back, which shows the disappointment of the emperor."

Qiulan hesitated for a moment, but finally she comforted her: "Your Majesty, the emperor always treats elder brother and princess equally, and he will not be disappointed because you gave birth to a princess. Just look, isn't the eldest princess very much loved by the emperor?" ?”

But Concubine Yi shook her head: "The Eldest Princess is favored because the Eldest Princess has a temperament and looks like the Emperor, so the Emperor dotes on her. Our three princesses are so weak, how can we be the same as the Eldest Princess. "

After listening to this, Qiu Lan felt that the empress was thinking too much, but she didn't dare to refute her any more, she could only comfort her softly: "Perhaps the emperor is busy with government affairs, that's why the delay, empress, don't think too much."

Concubine Yi just sighed: "Take good care of the third princess, don't let the princess get into trouble."

Qiulan nodded in agreement, but did not dare to say more, and retreated carefully.

Concubine Yi was still leaning on the couch, her heart was very depressed, how could she be a princess, her luck was too bad.

……

Concubine Yi sighed and sighed, while in the palace, the concubine Jin who did not go to the Old Summer Palace because of the confinement only felt secretly happy.

Concubine Yi always thinks highly of herself and looks down on herself, but this time she just gave birth to a yellow-haired girl, let's see how she will show off in front of her in the future.

Thinking about it this way, I am really a lucky person, I can get a man in one fell swoop, and I think my blessings will be great in the future.

Thinking in this way, Concubine Jin felt that the life of confinement was not so difficult anymore, and began to happily yell at someone to prepare food for the second elder brother, and let the person who came back this time to give the reward take it to the garden by the way.

I also have to let these people know that I am not someone who has no heels!

……

This time, Si Ning lived in the garden until the end of September, and then returned to the palace.

As soon as they returned to the palace, Concubine Yi and several concubines who hadn't been to the garden came to pay their respects to Si Ning. They also came with the newly-baked third princess.

When Si Ning asked people to give rewards to Concubine Yi, they also had people teach her how to look like the third princess, but it is better to see her after all, and now that she finally sees her little granddaughter, Si Ning just feels so distressed no matter how she looks at it , It's just a little thinner, it's a pity.

Si Ning hugged the baby and handed it to the wet nurse. She looked at Concubine Yi and said softly: "You mother and daughter have suffered a lot during this time of childbirth. You should have a better childbirth in the future."

Concubine Yi bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. It is my concubine's blessing to be able to continue the emperor's offspring."

Si Ning smiled and said nothing, just raised his hand to let Concubine Yi sit down.

At this time, Concubine Jin also stood up, bowed to Si Ning, and said: "Earlier, Empress Dowager was not feeling well, and this concubine copied scriptures to pray for Empress, and now she has copied all the scriptures, please have a look at Empress Dowager."

Si Ning raised her eyebrows, and asked Qing Jin to bring up the scriptures. She raised her hand and flipped through two pages to read. Said: "Copy the scriptures and meditate, I only hope that you can also realize some truths from these scriptures this time."

Concubine Jin gritted her teeth when she heard this, knowing that the Empress Dowager was pointing at her on purpose, she was upset in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it at all on her face, she could only grit her teeth and nodded: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your reminder."

Si Ning smiled and said nothing.

The queen on one side smiled and said: "Concubine Jin has put her heart into it this time, this is a thick stack, I think it will not disappoint the Queen Mother's expectations in the future."

Si Ning smiled, but did not speak, while Concubine Yi glanced at the queen, feeling very complicated in her heart.

After greeting Si Ning and saying a few more homely words, Mian Yi's concubines left one after another.

The queen stayed at the end and did not go with her, but said to Si Ning: "Your Majesty, it's time for the draft next year, and Yixuan should be old, and this concubine is a little uneasy."

This is also the queen's heart disease. Seeing that her son will be fifteen years old next year, he is already at the age of marriage, but there is no news from the emperor at all. She is also a little anxious, for fear that the emperor will not take this matter seriously. thing.

Si Ning was a little surprised when he heard these words, it turned out that Yixuan is so big now.

Si Ning was silent for a while, then nodded: "I will mention it to the emperor, don't worry, Yixuan's marriage is a big deal, the emperor won't take it lightly."

Hearing this, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the Emperor was a filial person, and he liked to discuss with the Queen Mother about everything.

After dismissing the queen, Si Ning sent Qing Jin to the front to pass a message to Mian Yi, if you have time tonight, you can come to her for dinner.

She also wanted to touch her son's mind and see what he thought about the major events in her grandson's life.

……

After Qing Jin came back, she reported to Si Ning, the emperor agreed, but said that she would come to eat some, and let the empress dowager eat first.

Si Ning nodded, then ordered the people below to prepare dinner tonight according to Mian Yi's preference.

This night Mian Yi really came to eat some food, Si Ning waited for half an hour longer before he heard that the emperor finally came out from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Si Ning didn't let anyone delay, and hurriedly asked the people below to set up a meal, and tried his best to have a hot meal as soon as his son came over.

Sure enough, the timing was very accurate, as soon as Mian Yi entered the door, the food was already set.

Si Ning smiled and beckoned him to sit down and eat, Mian Yi felt a little guilty: "I kept Er Niang waiting for so long."

Si Ning smiled: "I'm not hungry right now, it's okay to wait."

The mother and son sat down, An An finished the meal happily, and then went to the back room to talk about business.

Mian Yi also knew Er Niang well, she knew that she would not come to her for no reason, and after drinking a sip of Xiaoshi tea, she took the initiative to speak: "E Niang asked Er Chen to come over today, but what's the matter?"

Si Ning nodded: "It's nothing special, it's just that the draft will be held next year, do you have any thoughts on Yixuan's marriage?"

Mian Yi didn't expect Er Niang to ask this question, so she nodded, "I've seen a few people, but I haven't made a decision yet, and Er Niang will be in charge of my eyes in the future."

Seeing that her son hadn't forgotten about it, Si Ning was also relieved, but she always felt that her grandson was still a little young, and getting married at such a young age was not good for her health.

But this is the case in this era, especially the marriage of the prince, it is generally impossible to delay, because it will send a very bad signal to others, that is, the emperor does not want the elder brother to get married early, if he does not get married, he is not an adult, and he is not qualified On business, many thoughtful people may think that Mianyi is not satisfied with Yixuan.

Si Ning didn't want to cause trouble because of these, so even though she still felt too small in her heart, she still didn't stop her.

"Since that's the case, then I can rest assured." Si Ning nodded with a smile.

Mian Yi glanced at Si Ning, and suddenly said: "Er Niang never worried about these things before, but what did someone say to Er Niang?"

Si Ning knew that she couldn't hide this matter from her son, so she simply said, "It's the empress who is worried about elder brother's marriage, so she came to ask me, as a mother, she will always worry about her children's life. It's a big deal, if you have time in the future, talk to her about it, so that she can feel at ease."

Mian Yi nodded silently: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

Si Ning smiled: "In the past, you always liked to hide things in your heart. I know your temperament, but there are some things that don't have to be like this. The queen and you are a young couple. You don't have to be so blunt with the courtiers, you should trust her more in some things."

Mian Yi smiled, knowing that Er Niang wanted to have a confidant, but some things were not as simple as Er Niang imagined, but Mian Yi did not explain these things to Si Ning, but said softly: "My son I understand, this time it was my son's negligence, and I won't do it next time."

Si Ning naturally trusted his son, and nodded with a smile: "That's good, after the Chinese New Year, it's time to choose a Fujin for Yixuan."

……

After this time, Mian Yi also quickly told the Queen about the draft, and the Queen was relieved, but at the same time felt that the Queen Mother was really careful and considerate, and the tone of the Emperor talking to her was much gentler than before.

Si Ning didn't know about this, seeing the queen becoming more courteous and filial to her these days, she just thought that the queen knew the good news and was happy.

By the end of the new year, the girls in the draft began to enter the capital one after another. As for the girls in the capital, they had already prepared early.

This draft is not only the first draft since the emperor ascended the throne, but also the elder brother who is most valued by the emperor is about to get married. This time there may be a prince Fujin. For them, it's all top priority.

As for Si Ning and the Empress, since the beginning of the new year, they have successively met some girls with good qualifications in Beijing who are waiting for the draft.

There are quite a few beautiful girls that Mian Yi has taken a fancy to, there are three or five of them, Si Ning and the queen met one by one, these beautiful girls are not young, the youngest is 15 years old, the oldest is older than Yixuan two years old.

Si Ning nodded inwardly, it seemed that Mian Yi also knew the disadvantages of getting married too young.

Among them, the most famous family background is of course the Fucha family. She is the granddaughter of Tuojin. Tuojin is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Mianyi also values ​​it. Mianyi can put Tuojin's granddaughter on the inspection list. Si Ning was a little surprised.

And the queen seems to like Fucha very much. Fucha is generous, neither humble nor overbearing, and his calligraphy and painting are also quite organized. He is really a lady of everyone.

After seeing these beautiful girls, the queen also came to discuss with Si Ning: "Which lady do you think is better?"

Si Ning smiled: "The Fu Cha family is not bad."

She could somewhat see what the queen meant, and she herself felt that the Fucha family was good, so she simply followed the queen's mind. After all, Yixuan's Fujin would deal with the queen in the future, if she found someone who didn't like the queen , is it not a crime.

Seeing that Si Ning agreed with her, the queen was also relieved, the emperor valued the queen mother's opinion the most, if the queen mother also likes the Fucha clan, then the matter will most likely be settled.

The queen was overjoyed, and told Si Ning a lot about the benefits of the Fucha Clan, but it was a rare expression of emotion.

Later Mian Yi came to ask Si Ning what he meant, and Si Ning also brought up Fu Cha and said something.

Mian Yi nodded: "It's not bad to be valued by Er Niang."

Mian Yi still attaches great importance to his eldest son, so this time he chose Fujin for his son, and he also used his thoughts. Several beautiful women were selected through thousands of selections by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. better people.

But if you don't ask about upbringing and only look at the family background, of course he also prefers the Fucha family, but choosing Fujin for his son can't be so simple and rude, we still have to look at the character of Xiunu herself. It's both.

Mian Yi thought for a while and said: "Since that's the case, then let Mrs. Fucha enter the palace again, I want to see her too."

Si Ning knows that his son likes to do things very close to perfection, and he has never seen it before, so he is still a little worried, so he nodded: "That's fine, but in order not to be too obvious, it's better to let all these beautiful girls enter the palace together."

Mian Yi nodded: "Emiang is very considerate."

……

Since Mian Yi had this idea, the servants naturally did not dare to delay, and soon, several girls who were waiting for the draft entered the palace again.

This time, they also knew in their hearts that the moment of fate was about to come, so they all prepared very well, and they did not dare to miss a single bit of expression on the surface.

When they came to Shoukang Palace again, the people they saw were still the Empress Dowager and the Empress, because they met once before, and this time they were not too nervous, and the performances of the girls were remarkable.

But at this moment, a message was sent from outside that the emperor and elder brother came.

For a while, the girls were flustered to varying degrees. Sining kept staring at Mrs. Fucha, and found that she was the first to calm down among the beautiful girls. She didn't even notice her panic at that moment.

Mianyi and Yixuan walked in amidst the greetings from the show girls, and not far from Sining, the father and son stood still and bowed to Sining.

Si Ning glanced at her son, then at her grandson, she really didn't expect that Mian Yi would bring Yi Xuan along.

Yixuan looked calm about this scene, as if he didn't know at all that this was the occasion for him to choose Fujin.

Si Ning raised his hand with a smile: "The emperor doesn't need to be polite, just sit down, and Yixuan will also sit down."

The father and son just got up.

The queen also saluted Mian Yi at this time.

Mian Yi nodded, waiving the queen's courtesy, and then looked at the girls below.

"Today, Empress Empress is quite busy here."

Si Ning smiled and said to himself, just pretend, but on the surface he still cooperated with his son: "It's because I feel deserted, that's why I asked a few people to come into the palace to talk with me."

Mian Yi nodded, and raised her hands warmly to the girls below: "Everyone get up and sit down."

Only then did the princesses of several families stand up tremblingly, and carefully sat down on the stools.

Mian Yi glanced at everyone's faces, and paused on Mrs. Fucha. He had seen Mrs. Fucha's portrait a long time ago, and knew that this was the rightful owner. This girl was also the most calm and stable among them. .

Mian Yi nodded secretly, then turned to look at her son.

Seeing his son sitting next to him without squinting, without looking away, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this child hasn't reached the point of enlightenment yet.

Afterwards, Mian Yi first asked a few beautiful girls a few questions about their family background, to see how they answered, and after listening to the answers, she nodded lightly and said nothing to Si Ning She started talking, but from the corner of her eye, she kept paying attention to the ladies from the families below, watching their respective reactions, and seeing that the Fucha family was still calm and calm despite such cold treatment, Mian Yi felt more and more satisfied.

Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

Yixuan also stood up to say goodbye.

Si Ning knew that his son had already made up his mind, so he didn't hold back any more, and got up with a smile to send his son away.

After Mian Yi left, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be much more relaxed. Seeing several girls, Si Ning secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Si Ning couldn't help smiling, thinking that these little girls are quite cute.

……

And Mian Yi left the Shoukang Palace at this time, and after walking not far, she turned and asked her son, "How do you see these girls today?"

The color on Yixuan's face didn't change, he just said indifferently: "My minister thinks everything is fine, for such a big matter, I have to ask Huang Ama to make the decision."

Mian Yi couldn't help but smiled: "I don't know how to use it even if I give you a chance, so I will push it to me."

Yixuan pursed his lips: "I believe in Huang Ama's vision."

Mian Yi smiled and nodded at last: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will make the decision for you this time, but you won't regret it when you get married in the future, you need to get along well with Fujin."

Mian Yi also remembered the troubles that happened in Mianning back then, so she vaccinated her son in advance, fearing that her son would also be at odds with her husband and wife, which would only increase the laughing stock.

Yixuan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Huang Ama, I will definitely remember your teaching."

Seeing her son's stern expression, Mian Yi couldn't help but sigh again, this kid is also not enlightened, and I don't know if he will regret what he said now.

But no matter what, the matter of finding Fujin for the elder brother can no longer be postponed, Mian Yi didn't say much, and left with her son.

On Si Ning's side, Si Ning spoke a few more words with several girls, and seeing that it was getting late, he let these girls go home, and gave everyone some rewards before leaving. Compensation for them.

……

When the day of the draft finally arrived, the girls from all over the world also entered the palace one after another.

However, among these people, the most eye-catching ones are the few beautiful women headed by the Fucha family who were met by the queen mother and the emperor in advance. They all know very well that Da Fujin will probably be selected from these people .

However, these girls have also been instructed by their families, and each of them is very low-key and stable, without showing any complacency or arrogance.

After staying for half a month, Si Ning and the Queen met several groups of beautiful girls, but finally Si Ning still felt that the aptitudes that Mian Yi valued before were the best.

Later, Si Ning called Mian Yi over and carefully told him that, except for Yixuan who was assigned by the Fucha family, the other beautiful women had to be pointed out to a good family, and they couldn't let them go for nothing.

Mian Yi naturally complied, but it was not his turn to worry about such matters, so he directly assigned the task, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs made three rounds, picked out a few outstanding candidates from the clan and handed them over.

Mian Yi looked at it for a while, deleted a few things that she thought were inappropriate, and pointed out marriages one by one, so that this matter was handled properly.

After the final hall selection was over, all the show girls returned home, but their futures will be determined one by one in the next few days.

As soon as Mrs. Fucha came home, Er Niang called her to the main hall and asked her what she might feel when she entered the palace this time.

The Fucha clan had a faint feeling that the queen mother and empress valued her very much, but they didn't say anything dead, they only said that the two palaces were very kind and gentle to her.

Fucha's mother stroked her chest, took her daughter's hand and said, "That's good, if you don't have that future in the future, you won't be treated badly if you think about it, and we won't lose if you marry a yellow belt."

Fucha pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.

……

Soon, the news spread from the palace that the Fucha family had become Dafujin, and the entire Fucha family was extremely excited. You must know that although their family has the same surname as the Fucha family of the Gaozong Dynasty, they are relatives. But the relationship is far worse, and the wealth is far less than others. Now it is a great honor to have a prince Fujin, not to mention that the elder brother is so valued by the emperor.

At such a time, Mrs. Fucha was completely confessed by her family, and began to accept the teachings of the nuns from the palace.

At this time in the palace, the queen called her son to her, and carefully told her: "This girl from the Fucha family is Fu Jin who was personally looked after by Er Niang. , you must live in harmony with Fujin in the future, and don't disappoint Er Niang's wishes."

Yixuan got up and bowed to the queen: "Please rest assured, Er Niang, I will definitely live up to your wishes."

The queen nodded with a smile, no matter how satisfied her son was.

My own son grew up under his father's halo since he was a child, and everyone has high expectations for him, thinking that as the son of the elder brother Mian Yi, he will definitely be smarter than his other brothers.

Such an aura is not only a kind of attention but also a kind of pressure. Every time the queen thought about it, she felt uneasy.

But this child carried it over silently, studying hard, studying riding and shooting with all his heart, not daring to relax in anything, not daring to be left behind in everything.

Now that she has finally grown into what she is now, the queen is both proud and distressed.

Thinking that the child will become an adult in the future, the queen couldn't help being excited, and only hoped that he would be able to go smoothly in this life.

……

When the prince gets married, there is no need for others, and there are many things that need to be prepared.

But Si Ning doesn't need to worry about these things, these are the Queen's work.

Si Ning also enjoyed watching the Queen, he was busy and busy every day, but he always had a smile on his face.

Si Ning can understand her mood, it must be full of energy to organize a wedding for her son.

On Mianyi's side, they found someone to calculate the date, and set the wedding in October at the end of the year, and the engagement ceremony in September.

Si Ning pinched his fingers to count the days, in October, the weather was not too cold, it was indeed a good day.

But even though the marriage was settled, it was time for the palace to go to the Old Summer Palace, so the queen could only leave the matter at hand to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and followed Mian Yi to the Old Summer Palace.

When we arrived at the Old Summer Palace, life became more and more comfortable. During this period of time, Tana would always come to talk to Sining. Sining also liked this lively little girl, and the mother-in-law and grandson were quite able to chat.

Tana was also very curious about her future sister-in-law, and always asked Sining what kind of person the Fucha family was.

But Si Ning looked at her granddaughter's innocent appearance, and sighed in her heart, she only hoped that her granddaughter could marry a good family in the future.
