Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: Seventy-second bowl of soup (nine)
Seventy-second bowl of soup (nine)
Seriously, it doesn't matter what you do when you go to court, he's the emperor anyway. But once the mother found out about this, the cheeky little emperor would inevitably have a burning face on his face. He quietly took a step back to get away, but the **** chief beside his mother saw him, grinned at first, and then shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty is here—"
Driving when you arrive, what are you doing so loudly, what's the use? The little emperor slandered in his heart, but his face was calm, and he nodded to the general manager. Going around the screen, he saw Empress Dowager Wei sitting at the table, looking at him blankly.
The little emperor has long been accustomed to this kind of expression. He knows better than anyone that appearance cannot prove a person's good or bad. Looking at the indifferent mother, she is actually gentler than anyone else, but some seemingly gentle people are more cruel than anyone else.
He still retains the habits of his childhood, except that he is wearing a dragon robe, and he can't sit on the ground like he was a child. Moreover, there were quite a few servants present, and the little emperor was still embarrassed, and he was in front of the queen mother again.
"Mother, I'm back!" He sat next to Queen Wei, took a snack from the plate in front of her, and stared at Huazhi with squinted eyes: "Did Aunt Huazhi speak ill of me again?"
Huazhi watched him grow up, and was not afraid of him at all, she said with a smile: "My servant told the niece that you have grown up, and you are at the age of choosing a concubine!"
As soon as the little emperor heard this, he immediately forgot everything in his mind, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Those old stubborn won't come to look for the mother, right?"
"They are not bothered when they come with three meals a day, but Ai's family is bothered." Empress Wei was really annoying enough, and the ministers dared not provoke the little emperor for fear of being beaten, so there are not so many taboos when they come to her. After all, she is cruel, but she only treats people with different hearts. These ministers are all loyal and loyal, and the Queen Mother can't ask people to pull them out to fight like the little emperor.
They are the pillars of the country, what a formality.
The little emperor patted the table and stood up: "I'm just going to flatten them!"
"Emperor."
The little emperor immediately stood still and dared not move, and said eagerly: "Mother."
"They are right, you are indeed the age to choose a concubine."
The little emperor really doesn't want to choose a concubine. He feels that he is still a child. If he chooses a concubine, in the words of the ministers, he will really grow up, so he can't be so willful and rascal in the future? How about that! "Empress mother, I heard that the royal father married you when he was twenty years old."
He rarely mentioned the late emperor, and the Queen Mother Wei never took the initiative to tell him. Now that the little emperor mentioned the late emperor, her eyes became vivid. For many years, I never thought of that person again. After a long while, the Queen Mother said: "How can the late emperor be compared with you? He had just ascended the throne at that time, his foundation was unstable, and he had no support from outsiders. It could be said that he was walking on thin ice. You are much happier than him. A few side concubines, Aijia is just occupying the name of his wife."
The little emperor stared at the Queen Mother Wei strangely, always feeling that there was something in her tone that she didn't understand. "Empress mother, do you want me to choose a concubine?"
"You are the emperor, but Aijia is not." And she has no desire to hold a grandson or not, she can do anything, as long as the little emperor is happy, she can do anything. "It's just that how long can you delay this matter? Sooner or later, you have to choose."
The little emperor scratched his head: "It's not that I don't know, but the more they keep forcing me, the more I don't want to do it."
Maybe he inherited the cold-blooded side of his mother's bones and had no expectations for the so-called love. He didn't like any of the pretty and beautiful maids in the palace. He already understood the matter of men and women, but he just didn't have that demand. For the little emperor, national affairs are the most important.
He, like his father, is a born emperor, but the little emperor is more upright, tolerant and principled than his father.
Well, though it's a bit of a mess at times.
The Empress Dowager Wei smiled slightly. She never smiled, and occasionally she smiled at the little emperor. Just like when she was a child, she pinched the face of the little emperor with her hand: "When you are in his position, you should always remember that you are the emperor." It is okay to be arrogant and even moody, but you must always understand the most important thing. What is the important thing.
It is the country, the world, and the people.
Not love, not self.
Since you have enjoyed such glory and such admiration from all peoples, you will have to repay it, and you should not be the only one.
The little emperor listened to Empress Dowager Wei's words very much. He went back and pondered for another night. The next day, he announced that he would choose a concubine. The ministers were moved to tears, and they knelt down and shouted at His Majesty. Is it because he is usually too out of character, so it is rare to take the advice of the old stubborn people and let them look like this?
The matter of choosing a concubine is handled by the Ministry of Rites, and Empress Dowager Wei is not involved. As early as when she handed over the government to the little emperor, she no longer cares about world affairs. In the past, many people thought that her hen Sichen had different intentions, but who knew that she didn't take power too seriously?
She just...wanted to take the most important thing from that person, that's all.
Your Majesty, you lost, can you see that?
The Ministry of Rites is very efficient. The Empress Dowager Wei looked at the roster and felt that there was no problem. The queen and the four concubines were chosen by the little emperor himself. They should be the type he likes, right? No matter what, it is possible for people to spend a lifetime together, but it still needs to be pleasing to the eye.
But the Queen Mother may not have imagined that the little emperor didn't choose the type he liked at all. What does he think can be seen from each portrait? Simply hang it on the beam, grab the dart with both hands and shoot it.
Fortunately, these noble-born young ladies don't know how they got their positions, otherwise they would have to cry to death, feeling that they were insulted.
When I went to greet the Queen Mother on the first day, all the concubines felt uneasy in their hearts. Who did not know the reputation of this Jagged Queen Mother. It is said that she was an extremely powerful person when she was young. The reason why His Majesty's dragon chair can sit so Stable, the reason why the barbarians on the border did not dare to invade, and the reason why the common people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, was all thanks to the Queen Mother Wei.
However, Empress Dowager Wei did not appear for many years, and they were raised in a boudoir, so they never had the chance to see each other. So everyone is panicking, what will the empress dowager look like? Will it be too fierce? Will they be beheaded if they behave badly? I heard that the Empress Dowager cut off a series of heads without blinking her eyes.
The Queen Mother Wei didn't know what these little girls were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely show it—forget it, she would definitely be expressionless.
After the Emperor's death, she had no more expressions. The person she loves has died, as if her soul was taken away. Now it is not Wei Qinghuan who is alive, but the Queen Mother Wei.
Unexpectedly by the concubines, the empress dowager looked very young, and she was even better than them in terms of beauty, but the frosty feeling made one's heart palpitate, but there was no murder like hemp in the legend.
Empress Dowager Wei had no idea about these "daughter-in-laws". She only said a few words to let them serve the little emperor well in the future, and then asked them to retire. In the future, she would not use it to greet them, including the queen.
But the queen insisted on coming every day. When she was rejected by Huazhi on the first day, she still had tears in her eyes and asked Huazhi tremblingly, "Why did the concubine do something bad, and the queen mother didn't want to see the concubine? Is it?"
Empress Dowager Wei is not someone who can be moved by tears. What she doesn't want to do, even the late emperor can't force her, let alone a crying queen?
Sometimes she faintly thinks of the past, and she feels that she used to be a queen, but she never likes to cry like this, because crying is useless, people who don't love you will not pity you because of your tears, even if you If you want to marry the person you love, you will not get a good ending in the end.
The queen ate a lot of closed doors, and finally didn't come, but after a few months like this, she came to the queen mother crying, and threatened to hit her head to death if she didn't see herself!
Huazhi had no choice but to report back to the Empress Dowager Ming Wei. She thought that the empress would not care, but she let the Empress come in.
The queen cried as soon as she came in, "Queen Mother! Queen Mother!"
It can be seen that she is a pampered girl at home, so if she is unhappy, she will not be able to eat or sleep. The Empress Dowager Wei lowered her eyes and said, "The mother of a dignified country, it is not proper to make a loud noise outside."
The queen's eyes widened with tears: "How can the queen mother speak like this? Couldn't the queen mother understand the pain in the hearts of the courtiers and concubines?"
What pain can you have? The Empress Dowager Wei glanced at her lightly. She knew that the little emperor treated the queen with courtesy and could never pick the wrong place. The queen came from a scholarly family and would not fight for power. Naturally, her family would not fall. The concubine keeps herself safe, why does she cry like she can't survive?
Seeing that Empress Dowager Wei didn't answer her own words, the Empress sniffed: "Empress mother, the concubine is really sad in my heart. After thinking about it, there is no one in the palace to talk to except the queen mother, which is really annoying. Sad."
Huazhi felt that she couldn't sit idly by, otherwise she would not be able to talk anymore, so she continued, "Why is the Empress crying?"
She thought about a lot of possibilities in her heart, for example, someone was framed, someone wanted to be framed, and someone was going to be framed, but who knew that the first sentence the empress came out of her nose after crying for a long time was: "Your Majesty He went to the concubine's place last night!"
As soon as these words came out, Huazhi almost lost the teapot that she was about to change the tea for Empress Wei, her mouth twitched, she thought she had heard it wrong, "The Empress is so sad because Her Majesty was not there last night. Staying at Fengyi Palace?"
"Your Majesty was not like this before, His Majesty has always been with me!" The Queen said with wide eyes, she was so innocent even when she was injured.
