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

After June, Mian Yi entrusted Si Ning to Rehe to escape the summer heat.

Although the summer resort is not as big as the garden, it is cooler than the garden, and Si Ning lives quite comfortably in the summer resort.

However, during this period of time Mian Yi was extremely busy, and she didn't see anyone all day long. She used to come here every day to say hello, but now she didn't see anyone after several days.

Si Ning is not a person who is worried about not being able to see her son for a day, but she is also afraid that his son will be ruined, so she asks Qing Jin to bring ginseng soup to Mian Yi every day, because she is afraid that her son will be in a hurry I even forgot to eat.

However, Mian Yi is obviously very good for Si Ning, every time Si Ning brings over soup or rice, he will honestly finish it.

The maid Ziyuan on the queen's side knew about this, and couldn't help admonishing the queen: "Your Majesty, the emperor has worked so hard these past few days, you should also send him some food, and let the emperor know that you Heart for him."

Hearing these words, the queen just stared out of the window in a daze, before sighing for a long time.

"If I send it over, the emperor probably won't take a bite."

Ziyuan was surprised when she heard this: "Why did your empress say that, the emperor has always respected your empress, why would he not eat the food that your empress sent over?"

The queen gave a wry smile and remained silent for a long time, but decided to cover it up: "I just said it casually, there is no need to mention this matter, so as not to disturb the emperor's work."

Zi Yuan still had some doubts in her heart, but seeing that the queen didn't want to talk more, Zi Yuan suppressed her doubts and said no more.

Of course the queen knew Zi Yuan's doubts at this time, but she didn't intend to explain any more, she just lowered her head, thinking about the relationship between her and the emperor.

They are husband and wife, and they have such an excellent son, but even at this point, she still feels that she doesn't understand her husband.

They raise their eyebrows together, and they respect each other as guests, but there is always a layer of separation between them.

Perhaps this is the love of the emperor, never completely heart-to-heart, and never letting go of freedom. The relationship between them is restrained, sober, and measured. If someone crosses that line, then the ending is unpredictable. would be great.

The queen thought about this very thoroughly, so even so, she didn't complain, and she didn't feel pain, but it was inevitable that there would be a trace of regret. In the end, they couldn't become a truly intimate couple.

……

After Mianyi has been busy with this, Mulan Autumn Hunting has not been held this year. It's not that Mianyi doesn't like it, but now that the national treasury is really in a hurry, what Mianyi has to do is to ask for money everywhere. This kind of large-scale event that burns money We can only do less.

Many Manchu ministers felt dissatisfied. After all, Mulan Qiushou was not only hunting for fun, but also to exchange feelings with Mongolian princes.

But now that Mian Yi has made a lot of promises, they are not happy in their hearts, and they dare not say a word of rejection, and they have to shout long live the emperor over there.

Mian Yi was also aware of the dissatisfaction in these people's hearts. He was not so stubborn as to completely break with the ministers. Instead, at this time, he married a daughter of a clan to the Mongolian prince of Mobei to stabilize this branch. distant Mongolian tribes.

As for these ministers in Beijing, in Mian Yi's view, they are just dead bones in the grave, they can be overthrown with a single hand, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them.

Mian Yi's actions calmed down the previous turmoil, and at the same time let the ministers see the determination of the emperor, knowing that the current emperor is not as strong as before, and his determination cannot be shaken.

……

Mian Yi continued to make moves here, and Yi Xuan's wedding day was getting closer day by day.

Seeing that September was approaching, the queen begged the emperor to go back to the palace to prepare a ceremony for Yixuan.

After hearing this, Mianyi naturally agreed, and at the same time ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle it carefully, and gave Yixuan many things.

After Yixuan thanked him, he served as the queen and returned to the palace.

Sining also wanted to go back to attend her grandson's engagement ceremony, but because the journey back and forth was not too far, Mianyi naturally couldn't let Er Niang go back with others, so Sining stayed in the summer resort after all.

It wasn't until mid-September, when Yixuan's ceremony was over, that Mianyi was honored by the Queen Mother to return to the Old Summer Palace.

After returning, seeing the queen's happy face, Si Ning knew that the ceremony was well done this time.

The Queen also came to Si Ning and talked with Si Ning about this incident for a long time. After listening carefully, Si Ning also saw that the Queen had put her heart into it, so she smiled and nodded: "You have done a good job, think about it When Yixuan gets married in the future, others don't have to worry about it."

The queen smiled modestly: "Where, this is the first time for this minister to do this. If there are some who are not thoughtful, I have to remind the queen mother."

Si Ning knew that this was the Queen's compliment, so she just smiled.

Afterwards, they talked about the procedure of the big wedding. After listening to it, Sining probably heard that it was similar to Mianyi's procedure back then. It could be seen that the queen followed Mianyi's wishes and was not extravagant, but she also tried her best not to lose face .

Si Ning looked at the Queen's careful planning, and couldn't help sighing. Now that Mian Yi wants to reform, there are many places to spend money, so she will inevitably feel a little bit wronged, but even so, compared with ordinary people, it is still very luxurious. Life is over, you still have to be content with yourself.

At the end of October, Yixuan's wedding day finally arrived.

But Yixuan himself is very calm, even if other people around him are very excited.

Tana followed the empress to learn how to be a housekeeper, three times a day she had to confirm the amount of dowry and dowry.

Mian Yi also found time to talk to Yi Xuan.

It seemed that everyone was busy around Yixuan, but Yixuan himself didn't look anxious or excited at all, he didn't look like a teenager about to get married at all.

Si Ning was a little surprised, this child is too able to handle it.

The day before the wedding, the dowry of the Fucha family entered the palace.

This dowry is not only provided by the Fucha family itself, but also partly from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the habit of my elder brother getting married in the past. As the eldest son of the emperor, Yixuan is subsidized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs more than before, so this dowry It can be regarded as looking Xuanhe.

Si Ning also took a special look at it, and it was really complete from the wedding bed to the toilet, and it was all made of good materials. It seems that the Fucha family also saved a lot of good things for their daughter.

The dowry was arranged all over the yard and almost couldn't fit it. Later, I borrowed the yard next to it and finished it.

When her natal family made the bed, Si Ning didn't come to her. Her trip was a big project, and there were so many people around her. If this kind of thing was involved, I was afraid that it would disturb Yixuan's good business.

Si Ning excused himself to be tired, and walked out from the South Third Office, but as soon as he came out, he saw Yi Xuan, who was about to be a groom, walking on a small road not far from the South Third Office, looking a little dazed.

When Si Ning saw it, he immediately asked people to stop the sedan chair, and waved to Yixuan: "Why are you staying here, your yard is so lively now."

Yixuan smiled a little awkwardly: "There are too many people, so my grandson came out for a walk."

Si Ning vaguely saw the uneasiness in his eyes, and finally understood in his heart that it wasn't that he wasn't excited, it was just that the child was mature enough to hide his emotions too deeply.

Si Ning smiled: "Since that's the case, then come back to Shoukang Palace with me, I just want to talk to you."

Yixuan hesitated for a moment, but finally saluted: "Grandson obeys the order."

In this way, the two returned to Shoukang Palace one after the other, and when they entered the house, Si Ning asked someone to serve Yixuan a bowl of his favorite almond milk, and said with a smile: "It's cool in this season, drink a bowl Almond dew to warm it up."

Yixuan took a sip, his throat moved slightly, but he didn't drink any more, and only put the almond dew on the table.

Si Ning looked at the bowl of almond milk, was a little lost in thought, and said lightly: "When you were young, seeing almond milk made you feel like you were going to die, and you had to drink it all in one gulp. Don't you like it now?"

Yixuan was slightly taken aback, and then smiled again: "Of course I like it, the almond dew from Mama's place is the sweetest made in the palace."

Si Ning sighed: "People say that you are like your mother-in-law, gentle and good-natured, but looking at you now, you are very much like your Ama, stubborn, unyielding, always wanting to restrain yourself , Restrain yourself, dare not show the slightest liking."

Yixuan froze for a moment.

Ever since he was young, many people would say after meeting him that his personality is really like Da Fujin, like a queen, but no one said that he looks like Ama.

At that time, he was not convinced. He was Ama's son, so how could he not be like Ama?So he worked hard to make progress, gritted his teeth and endured all the pointers and discussions, just wanting to win a sigh of relief and make Ama proud of him.

When he grows up and sees the wider world, he also sees this kind of statement in his heart, and he even thinks that maybe he is really not like Ama. After all, there are thousands of people and different faces, how can everyone be different Exactly the same?

But occasionally he would feel panic in his heart, he was so unlike Amma, what if Amma didn't like him?

But now, Mamo said that he was very much like Ama.

Yi Xuan didn't know what to say for a while, but just looked at Si Ning blankly.

Si Ning smiled at this time: "Good boy, I understand what you do, but there is something Mamo wants to tell you, no matter what, you are Mamo's good grandson, your Ama's good son, there is something Sometimes, you don't have to embarrass yourself so much, you can talk to Mamo if you have something that is pressing in your heart."

Yixuan lowered his head, and after a long time finally raised his head to look at Sining, with a wry smile on his face: "Mama, thank you for letting me go, I'm the one who got stuck."

Si Ning just smiled: "When you, Ama, were your age, you would sometimes tell me what was in your heart. He might not be as stable as you at that time."

Yixuan was a little surprised, after all, in his eyes, Huang Ama is a perfect emperor, restrained, calm, smart, and filial.

You can't find the slightest flaw in him everywhere, as if this person was born to be the emperor.

Now hearing Sining talk about Huang Ama's childhood, Yixuan felt a little strange for a while.

The mother-in-law and grandson laughed while talking, and at the end of the conversation, all the tension and anxiety in Yixuan's heart disappeared.

This night, Yixuan had dinner at Sining's before going back.

Si Ning walked him all the way to the door, and told him when he was leaving: "Go back tonight and drink a bowl of hot milk, go to bed early, tomorrow is your big day, you have to rest well."

Yixuan smiled and nodded before leaving.

Seeing the back of her eldest grandson disappear into the night, Si Ning also sighed softly, was Mian Yi ever so confused back then?

She tried hard to recall now but couldn't remember it, maybe Mian Yi at that time was already able to hide her emotions very well, and she, as a mother, didn't notice it at all.

Thinking of this, Si Ning turned his head and was about to go back, but when he turned around, he saw Mian Yi standing not far away, he didn't light up the lantern, just standing there, almost blending into one body in the deep night.

Si Ning frowned, and immediately stepped forward: "It's so cold, why are you standing here?"

Mian Yi looked at Er Niang, and smiled softly: "Listening to Er Niang telling Yixuan about my childhood in the room, I, as an Ama, naturally feel a little embarrassed to go in."

Si Ning couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Such witticisms at such an age, it seems that what I said just now was really correct."

Mian Yi couldn't help but also laughed, and it took a long time before she said warmly: "Thank you, Er Niang, for enlightening Yi Xuan, this child is just a bit serious."

Si Ning sighed: "Princes, especially princes who are expected by everyone, naturally have serious thoughts, and you should understand it yourself."

But Mian Yi didn't continue the topic, just nodded lightly, and then changed the subject: "I haven't eaten anything today, I'm hungry."

Si Ning laughed, hurriedly beckoned his son to enter the house, and asked the servants to go to the imperial dining room to bring food.

The manpower of Shoukang Palace suddenly became busy again.

……

The next morning, Big Brother got married.

The whole Forbidden City became lively.

Si Ning got up early in the morning, sat in Shoukang Palace and waited for Yixuan to come and say goodbye.

It didn't take long before Yixuan came, and he solemnly gave Sining a big gift.

Si Ning smiled and raised his hand to make him stand up: "Good boy, don't delay the good time, let's go."

Yixuan bowed his hands solemnly again, and then backed out.

Looking at Yixuan's tall and straight back, Sining seemed to think of Mianyi in a trance. When he got married, he came to say goodbye to him in the same way. For a while, the figures of the two father and son gradually appeared in front of her. Eyes overlap.

Si Ning couldn't help but burst into tears, the children have grown up!

……

Yixuan's wedding ceremony was solemn and dignified, and when Dafujin's sedan chair was carried into the Forbidden City, Nansan Institute had a banquet, and the wedding was finally completed.

When the banquet is over, the guests leave the table, and the big brother and the young couple enter the bridal chamber, the excitement is over.

The next morning, Sining got up early again, and specially asked Qing Dai to dress her in joyful clothes, Qing Dai looked at Si Ning through the mirror, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is so happy today, It looks like the whole person is a few years younger."

Si Ning smiled and shot her a look: "You're talking nonsense again, if it's what you said, I'm not a rejuvenated old fairy."

Qing Dai smiled and continued: "The slave didn't say that, our empress dowager is an old fairy who has rejuvenated."

For a while, the room burst into laughter.

After finally tidying up, Si Ning came out of the house. At this time, the queen and his party had arrived. Seeing Si Ning coming out, they all got up and saluted Si Ning.

Si Ning walked slowly to the front seat and sat down, then raised his hand: "Everyone get up and sit down."

The queen and others sat down.

Si Ning glanced at the queen, she was also dressed very brightly today, and she looked much more energetic.

After Si Ning sat down, the Queen got up and said: "Big Elder Brother and Da Fujin are already waiting outside, they are about to come in to kowtow to you."

Si Ning smiled and nodded: "Let them in."

The queen nodded, and someone immediately went out to summon the elder brother and Da Fujin to kowtow inside.

Si Ning didn't wait long before Yixuan and Fucha came in.

Both of them were dressed in court clothes, looking extraordinarily solemn.

As soon as he came in, someone put a cushion in front of him, and the two bowed down to Si Ning one by one.

After the ceremony was over, Si Ning nodded with a smile: "Good boy, get up."

The two just got up.

Si Ning carefully looked at his grandson and grandson-in-law.

Compared with the day before yesterday when he saw him, Yixuan's face was a little more flushed, and he looked mostly happy.

On the other hand, the Fucha family, compared to the time of the draft, has a slightly ruddy complexion, a lot of white skin, and a touch of youthfulness on the face, but the whole person still looks stable and dignified.

Si Ning knew it in her heart, and she didn't say anything else, but there should be nothing wrong with the new marriage of these two people, she felt relieved, and immediately asked to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Si Ning called Mrs. Fu Cha to him and asked some questions carefully.

That is to say, if she asked her how she was eating, and whether she was used to these common household words, Mrs. Fucha could handle them, speaking in a gentle voice, and answering with impeccable answers.

Si Ning smiled and nodded: "Good boy, live a good life with Yixuan in the future, if he bullies you, you must tell Mamo, Mamo will help you teach him a lesson."

Yixuan hurriedly got up and saluted Si Ning and begged for mercy: "Mama is clear, my grandson dare not bully Fujin."

The queen on the side also smiled and said: "Now that your wife has the queen mother as her backer, I don't think you dare."

For a while, the room suddenly fell into a joyous atmosphere.

On the other hand, Fucha looked at the elder brother with a red face, then lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "Eldest elder brother is generous and polite, how could he bully his grandson-in-law."

Si Ning looked at the eldest daughter-in-law, patted the back of her hand lightly, and said nothing more.

After talking for a while, the time was almost up, Si Ning didn't keep them any longer, and directly asked them to go to Mian Yi's place to say hello.

After the two of them went out, the concubine Jin smiled and said: "Now that Dafu Jin enters the palace, the empress dowager is so distressed. After all, the empress dowager is blessed to have such a pleasing daughter-in-law. I don't know how we will be together in the future. Does Shen have this blessing?"

Although she was joking, her words were extremely harsh.

Si Ning glanced at Concubine Jin, and without waiting for the queen to respond, he said flatly: "Nonsense again, Yi Shen is also my grandson, so naturally I feel the same for his future Fujin."

Concubine Jin curled her lips inwardly, not believing what the Empress Dowager said, but she still smiled and complimented her on the face: "The Empress Dowager is generous, that's something that is well known in the palace, but the concubine said something wrong."

The queen also came back to her senses at this time, and said with a smile: "Since my concubine knows that I have said something wrong, I should reflect on myself this time when I go back. When Yishen gets married in the future, you will be happy."

Concubine Jin bit her lip, knowing that it was the empress warning her, she glanced at the empress, she dared not confront the empress, she could only obediently agree, then lowered her head.

Si Ning watched the undercurrent of Mian Yi's wives and concubines, but pretended not to see it, and just sat on it with a smile and listened.

After they finished speaking, they smiled and said: "Okay, it's almost time, you all go back, I'm tired too."

The queen and others then resigned and left.

After everyone had gone out, Qing Dai said with some dissatisfaction: "The servant has not calmed down after seeing that the concubine Jin has copied the scriptures, so I have to come out to spoil the fun on such a good day."

Si Ning smiled and waved her hands: "She is such a foolish person, why bother with her, clean up the outside, I'll go in and make a mess."

Today Si Ning got up earlier than usual, now that the excitement is gone, she is also a little tired.

Qing Dai nodded in agreement, and carefully helped Si Ning into the house.

……

In the next few days, the Fucha family often came to Sining Palace to say hello, and Sining gradually got acquainted with this eldest grandson-in-law.

She is able to talk, and she is also smart and winky, but she has the same temperament as her mother-in-law Niu Hulu, no wonder the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along so well.

Concubine Jin on the one side looked hot, and also thought about what kind of wife her Yishen should marry in the future, anyway, she must be a noble girl who is not inferior to Dafujin, otherwise she will not break up with the queen.

……

During this period of time, Mianyi's reforms in the previous dynasty also made preliminary progress.

Taking the guards in the palace as an example, Mian Yi took the lead in training a group of new troops, strengthened the coastal defenses, purchased countless gunboats, and let the craftsmen in Beijing and China study the Western ships, and now they have made preliminary progress .

Therefore, Mianyi has been very happy these few days, walking in and out with wind.

Si Ning heard from him that the reason why these craftsmen can make progress is because Mian Yi secretly obtained many craftsmen and blueprints from the West.

And it was Mian Chen who was in charge of this matter.

This kid Mian Chen has one advantage, he can talk to anyone, and he is sensitive enough to act, because he was brought up by Mian Yi, and his language foundation is not bad, so he is very handy in doing this, and soon he got a lot of Things eliminated by the Western side.

Coupled with the research of the craftsmen and the assistance of the newly purchased ships, some progress has finally been made.

Si Ning is also very happy, no matter what, she does not want this country to experience those painful pasts again.

……

There were many happy events in the previous dynasty, and now the harem also has good news. Concubine Ning, who had been looking at her silently, suddenly got good news that she was pregnant.

When the news came out, Si Ning was a little surprised.

Because Concubine Ning gave birth to the second princess before, but her body was injured, and now she is still pregnant, which is not easy.

However, other people in the palace may not think so. Anyway, Concubine Jin was so angry that she beat a set of porcelain that day, and was reminded by the palace maid that if they beat them again, there would be no hospitality for them, so I stayed hand.

When I was in Nansan Institute before, Concubine Ning was the most unconvinced in Concubine Jin's heart. She was obviously the same princess, but she looked more muddy and unstained, and she was often praised by the Queen and the Emperor, which made her so vulgar.

Later, when something like that happened, Concubine Jin was too happy to be happy, she only hoped that Concubine Ning would never stand up again, but after entering the palace, the two had the same status, which made Concubine Jin angry again.

But thinking that she would not be able to give birth to an elder brother in the future, Concubine Jin still feels comforted in her heart, unexpectedly, she got pregnant again.

Concubine Jin nearly gritted her teeth.

But other people didn't care about her mood, the empress dowager and even the emperor gave rewards one by one, and the things they gave were no worse than Concubine Yi's time.

Concubine Jin's nose was crooked, if not for the palace rules, she would have wanted to cast a villain in the palace and curse Concubine Ning.

Since then, every time she saw Concubine Ning, her nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not eyes. Unfortunately, Concubine Ning didn't seem to see it, and she didn't care at all. Concubine Jin became more and more angry, as if she had punched cotton Li, it's really unpleasant to hate.
