Chapter 435: Queen mother

The queen mother went to Xishan to see the chrysanthemum. It has been two or three months since she was there. She was looking at the end of the year, and indeed should send someone to pick it up. Feng Xuanche thought a little bit, although she knew that Du Qingheng proposed to pick up the queen mother this time, There must be her own careful thinking, but she can't say anything, so she nodded and said: "The concubine is still thoughtful. There are so many things in the past these days, and I have no time to take care of family affairs. You have the heart."
Hearing this, Du Qingheng had some shyness on his face. Today's makeup is clear and beautiful, and it is indeed unique. Unfortunately, although Feng Xuanche looked at her, he couldn't get enough of it.
The little on the side caught his attention. When he was talking to Du Qingheng, he noticed that the little had been staring at him and looked unpredictable. He intuitively felt that the little was not quite right, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he said: "Where did the imperial concubine find the little eunuch, she looked very clever."
Mu Shen used to look at his face, and knelt down quickly when he heard that, and said, "Thank you, the emperor for the praise."
The people around him were praised, Du Qingheng also had a good-looking face, and said with a full smile: "The one sent by the Office of Internal Affairs a few days ago is not as good as the emperor said."
Looking at him again, Feng Xuanche spoke lightly and said, "I am a little tired. If the concubine has nothing else to do, please go back first."
This time I came here originally because I wanted Feng Xuan Che to pick up the Queen Mother and return to the palace. Now that Feng Xuan Che has agreed, Du Qingheng hasn’t stayed too much. She is not in a hurry to let Feng Xuan Che see herself. The days are gone.
So he got up, said that the concubine retired, and then left the Hall of Yangxin with the maid and eunuch.
"Go and check the history of this little eunuch."
After waiting for people to leave, Feng Xuanche said to Guo Yuanqing, the chief on the side.
The queen mother has left the palace for so long without any movement at all. This is not her style.
She was a victor in the previous generation of imperial palaces. What she thought was not comparable to a newcomer. Feng Xuanche closed her eyes and leaned on the collapse, thinking about what happened when the queen mother left Beijing, but she didn't have a clue.
The new year is approaching, and this year is another unstable year. When will Dashun's court be cleaned up and fight less overtly.
In the throne, Feng Xuanche knew the position everyone was fighting for, and only when sitting on it did he know how difficult it was.
"Guo Yuanqing, order to go down. Seeing the end of the year, the palaces must not be extravagant and keep everything simple."
Just after the snow disaster, the national treasury was in deficit, and Feng Xuan had a headache. After thinking about it, he asked: "The silver carbon in Kunning Palace cannot be reduced. The other palaces can reduce the amount and replace it with ordinary charcoal."
Guo Yuanqing knew it, and as expected, the most important position in the heart of the emperor was always reserved for the empress.
Usually the little can't handle these things, and he has to do it himself. Although it is just a carbon exchange, it is enough to get a glimpse of the emperor's importance to the palaces.
Not long after he returned to Yanxi Palace, Guo Yuanqing brought people over and talked about it, and the tea bowl in Du Qinghengqi's hands was about to be crushed.
It’s just that Guo Yuanqing followed the emperor every day, gaffeinated in front of him, and passed to the emperor’s ears. He would definitely end up with a bad reputation. Du Qingheng gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor loves his people like his son, and his concubines admire him so much. Thank you father-in-law for running here. One trip."
This has to be replaced by someone else. I am afraid that the hot tea in Du Qingheng's hands has already been spilled on him. Guo Yuanqing saw it in his eyes, did not say much, only said to leave, and left with someone.
The finest silver wire carbon burns without the choking smell of charcoal. Du Xuechun watched the little eunuchs send the carbon for this month, and heard the news about the halving of other palaces, and shook his head helplessly. Why is the emperor doing this recently? Naive, I'm afraid there are many more concubines to be sad.
Left and right, Du Xuechun was pregnant with a dragon fetus and was worried about all day long. Feng Xuanche did this to warn others and save them of Du Xuechun's idea.
The room was a little depressed, and Du Xuechun walked down the yard with Mingying's help. Since the twelfth lunar month, the yard has been decorated with red cloth and colored ropes. This cold winter twelfth lunar month also seemed a little lively.
Three days later, when the Queen Mother came back from Xishan, Du Xuechun led a group of concubines to greet the Queen Mother.
I haven't seen it for many days, and the queen mother hasn't changed much. Her eyes that have gone through the years are bottomless. She sits in a high position in the Ci Ning Palace, overlooking the concubines of the emperor.
Leaving the palace was not a temporary intention. The two attempts to remove the eldest son from Du Xuechun’s belly were unsuccessful. If he did not leave the palace at this time, Feng Xuan would inevitably be investigated thoroughly, although he could not do to his nominal mother queen. What, but it will inevitably delay things in the future.
Now when she comes back, Du Xuechun still looks aloof, which is what disgusts her most.
The queen mother lifted her eyes and let everyone sit down. The beads in her hand turned gently, "My palace is devoted to worshiping Buddha in Xishan these days. I am very worried when I heard about the snow disaster. I came back today and heard that the snow disaster was resolved smoothly. The queen, You did very well."
"The queen mother has a good reputation." The corner of Du Xuechun's mouth raised slightly, and the empress dowager's compliment was just to attract more jealousy to her, not sincere.
"It's almost the end of the year. The queen is inconvenienced. Please leave it to Concubine Shu to prepare for the New Year in the palace."
As soon as I came back, I gave Du Xuechun off the horse. It was indeed the Queen Mother’s usual affiliation. Zhang Waner heard the words and hurriedly got up and said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the concubines must be prepared."
Over the years, the queens were responsible for the affairs. The queen mother let Concubine Shu take full responsibility. In fact, she evaded Du Xuechun's power. Originally, Zhang Waner was only coordinating the sixth house, but now the Queen Mother gave this right to Zhang Waner?
"Mother..." Du Qingheng became more and more angry, but the queen mother went to ask the emperor to take it back, but she gave this right to Zhang Wan'er. She was naturally unconvinced in her heart, but just opened her mouth. Mu Chen pulled his sleeves behind him.
She changed her words and said, "Concubine Shu has done a good job helping the empress's harem affairs these days. There are a lot of things in the New Year. If my sister is exhausted, my sister will feel distressed."
After explaining these things, the Queen Mother was exhausted, and everyone was inconvenient to disturb, and they left Ci Ning Palace one after another.
"Mother, what do you mean by the queen mother? I am so angry that I don't put you in my eyes!"
Back to Kunning Palace, Mingying said angrily.
"Everything in the palace is dependent on misfortune and good fortune, Mingying, my body is getting heavier these days. It's okay to let them do those trivial things." Du Xuechun gently touched her slightly bulging belly, what harem power, she If you want, who can take it away is just trying to protect your children.
"Sister, sister."
The two were chatting in the room. They heard Wang Chuan's voice from far to near, and ran into the room not long after. Before breathing well, they said, "Xue Lan is awake."
Hearing this, Du Xuechun was taken aback and said softly: "What's wrong with her?"
"The emperor said today that Xue Lan didn't remember anything when she woke up and was picked up by Master Xue Ning."
After all, Feng Xuanche let Xue Lan go. Du Xuechun seemed to put a stone down in his heart. Xue Lan is her friend, such a simple child, it’s okay to forget this, it’s best, never remember these bad things.
