Chapter 117: Drunken Queen Mother 18
As soon as Wang Qingqing said something important to announce, all the concubines in the palace folded their spirits and listened carefully to her words, so as not to miss any important information.
"The two of Zhao's Gao family were imprisoned in the claustrophobic Ningfu Palace, leaving the third prince, the seventh prince and the ninth princess unattended. The responsibility of raising the prince's children is heavy, and the palace is busy and powerful. Not caught."
Wang Qingqing didn't talk too much, she said straight to the concubines and concubines: "If any younger sister is willing to share one or two for this palace, and if you intend to adopt three royal children, please show this to this palace first. This palace will consider the situation as appropriate, and choose the most suitable place for the three princes.”
Since ancient times, it has been said that once the palace gate is as deep as the sea, 90% of the concubines enter the palace gate by themselves, but they never take a step out of the palace gate in their entire lives. They can go back to their parents’ home to save relatives or go on tour with His Majesty the Emperor. That's the kind of treatment that only the most favored concubines have.
When the time comes, I will listen to the opera, I will have a feast if I want to have a feast, and I will go out to have a feast if I want to go out. How much fun? How comfortable are you? Wouldn't it be much more comfortable than being trapped in the West Sixth Palace with the Empress Dowager?
The concubines with children sat calmly and peacefully, and the children without children were eager to move.
Without waiting for the other concubines to react, the fiery concubine stood up in a flash: "Empress Empress, the concubine wants to adopt the seventh prince."
"Very good." Wang Qingqing nodded with a look of relief: "Which other sister would like to share the worries for this palace?"
"Apologize to Empress." The rich concubine Wen stood up with a respectful face: "The concubine intends to adopt the Ninth Princess, and I hope that Empress will be fulfilled."
Adopting a prince is definitely more beneficial than adopting a princess, not to mention whether it can survive the problem of His Majesty the emperor going out of the palace, but in terms of daily life supplies, the sacrifice of the prince is more important than that of the princess One more.
A child, what can you get before you are an adult? Wouldn't the extra sacrifices be able to subsidize one's own life?
Although the queen has always been in charge of the harem generously and never deducted the offerings of the concubines, there are still two kinds of life for those who are favored and those who are not favored.
Just relying on my own part, although I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, it is difficult to eat well and dress well. Although it’s bad, it’s not easy.”
Wen Concubine is not stupid, life is as hard as her, it is not that she does not know that adopting a prince is more beneficial than adopting a princess, but she also has her own considerations.
Wen Concubine, a wealthy and elderly lady, was the maid-servant who followed His Majesty the Emperor before he left the palace. She was three years older than His Majesty. She has been favored for many years and can be ranked among the nine concubines. It is still the position that Queen Wang has been trying to get her after serving the emperor for many years.
Concubine Wen, who was born as a palace maid, has a lot of wisdom in life. His Majesty the Emperor is the only direct son of the Queen Mother, and the process of his ascension was not smooth. It took a lot of trouble. Now the Queen There is no heir under his knees. When His Majesty the Emperor dies, will there be another **** storm in the harem?
Looking at the existing eight princes in the palace, they are only five or six years apart in age. In the face of the only chair, who would not be tempted? At that time, there will inevitably be a fight to the death.
.
It is not his own blood, so why bother to fight for it?
If she gets along well when she grows up, she will stay with her for two more years. Is it much stronger to raise a prince?
Wen Concubine made up her mind to raise the Ninth Princess, but she sold a lot of misery in front of Wang Qingqing. Shi is how to do her best, crying with tears in her eyes and begging for a good pass, Wang Qingqing deliberately comforted her for a long time, saying that she must be given priority, and this made her stop.
With the two pioneers, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Wen, do the rest of the concubines want to express themselves in front of the Queen? Or do you really want to adopt | raise a child? Or even simply go with the flow? One by one, they all put forward the object they want to adopt.
After Wang Qingqing carefully recorded it by the palace guards, she stood up and said to the concubines: "The whereabouts of the three royal children is a major matter, this palace needs to carefully consider, and ask your majesty's will, everyone Come back, sister, at the Good Morning Ceremony three days later, this palace will announce the result."
The concubines and concubines reluctantly left, and the good ones went to the side hall to visit and tease the three princes.
After the good morning ceremony, Shunyi's little maid waited for Wang Qingqing to eat breakfast with a sad face. Thinking about it, these three children are easy to send out, but hard to come back. Haven't you always wanted to adopt a child? Don't come again when you can't miss this opportunity. If you missed such a good opportunity, where can you get it? How can you get this Qiaozong?"
"Shun Yi, shun Yi." Wang Qingqing took a sip of the porridge slowly: "Do you think this palace needs to use children to keep the pet?"
Shun Yi was stunned, this is really unnecessary.
In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, the relationship between him and his wife is definitely more brother and sister than between men and women. It is not necessary. His Majesty the Emperor will never stay in Changchun Palace. , In this case, what is the reason for solid love?
Wang Qingqing looked at the dumbfounded Shunyi and asked, "Do you think this palace is lonely?"
Is the mother lonely? If this were three or four months ago, Shunyi would definitely have answered: Yes!
Niangniang has nothing to spend time except palace affairs, her loneliness shrouded the entire Changchun Palace, Niangniang once sighed with emotion: "This Changchun Palace is too spacious and quiet, if there is Just a baby, even if he cries all day."
Is the empress lonely now? Shun Yi glanced at the bird cages hanging under the porch, looked at the half-embroidered fan, and glanced at the book of words on the small table, she really couldn't say the lonely words of the goddess.
Shun Yi gently put on Wang Qingqing a cloak to prevent the cold wind from going out, Wang Qingqing sat on the phoenix and muttered: "It's too troublesome to deal with palace affairs, it will delay the palace's reading. book."
Shun Yi bowed her head and said nothing, Empress is not lonely, she is busy!
As soon as he arrived at the Jiaotai Hall, Wang Qingqing ordered his confidant **** to send a message to Huagai Hall: Please, Your Majesty, please drive the Jiaotai Hall after the court. The Empress has an important business to discuss.
When His Majesty the Emperor came to Jiaotai Hall after the morning, Wang Qingqing had already ordered the palace servants to prepare lunch. After that, the couple with the highest status in the empire sat opposite each other with a cup of hot tea in each hand.
"Your Majesty." Wang Qingqing took the lid and widened the tea leaves, and then said directly: "Today, the concubine invited Your Majesty to come here to ask His Majesty to show you, the third prince, the seventh prince and the nine princesses. How to arrange it?"
When he mentioned the three princes, His Majesty the Emperor thought of the second concubine Zhao Gao, and when he thought of those two people, he thought of what he said in front of Wang Qingqing, "The second daughter of Zhao Gao is naughty, but she has a pure and kind heart" Come.
His Majesty the Emperor, who felt that he had lost face in front of Wang Qingqing, said angrily, "According to the palace rules, how to arrange it in the past, how to arrange it now!"
"Follow Your Majesty's holy will." Wang Qingqing stood up and gave a vacuous salute: "Li Concubine is good at writing essays, and Zhang Guiren is good at writing poems, both of her are talented and knowledgeable. And the Seventh Prince will be brought up by the two of them, and it is better to learn the words of the sage early, what does Your Majesty think?"
Lady Zhang? His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes and thought for a moment, only vaguely remembering that they were two elegant women, he nodded and praised: "Good."
"The whereabouts of the two emperors have been decided, which one is suitable for the ninth princess to adopt?" Wang Qingqing continued to ask.
"A-Qing sees it." His Majesty the Emperor took a sip of tea: "Let whoever is suitable to be adopted, I trust you."
In the face of Zhao Gao’s second daughter, he had a lot of love for the third prince, the seventh prince and the ninth princess. Now, with the second daughter being imprisoned in the Ningfu Palace, his love for the three children is very important. Also went with the wind.
"How does Your Majesty feel about Concubine Wen?" Wang Qingqing explained to the emperor seriously: "Concubine Wen has followed His Majesty for many years, but she is getting older but her knees are desolate. The ninth princess is entrusted to her to raise, and it can be regarded as a reward for her dedicated service to Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty think?"
"Yes!" His Majesty the emperor nodded and put down the tea cup and said to Wang Qingqing, "Aqing, is it the year of the draft again after the new year?"
"Yes." Wang Qingqing replied respectfully: "The selection is made every three years, and next year is the year of the draft."
"Yeah!" His Majesty the Emperor said to Wang Qingqing with a solemn expression: "You are in charge of the Sixth Palace, so this matter should be done early."
Scumbag, big stallion! Can you sleep with so many women in the harem? Don't be afraid of dying!
Wang Qingqing gritted her teeth in her heart and despised the dog emperor.
Contempt is contempt, in this feudal dynasty where imperial power is paramount, even if she is a queen, she cannot say a word to the emperor's reasonable requirements.
Wang Qingqing stood up and saluted: "The concubine leads the order."
Changkong sighed leisurely.
Three thousand weak water, I only want to take a scoop to drink! As the most honorable person in the empire, why is it so difficult to meet a confidant?
The emotion of His Majesty the Emperor Wang Qingqing did not receive, otherwise she would have to give her a good or bad disgust.
The three princes went to the place they planned. Wang Qingqing was in a beautiful mood. She happily returned to the Changchun Palace nest and read the book on the warm couch.
Shun Yi continued to circle around Wang Qingqing with a face full of desire to talk.
