In Cining Palace, Queen Mother Qin was silent for a long time towards the young man with tears on his face in Aunt Qi's arms.
"Aqi!"
Aunt Qi looked at the helpless look on the Queen Mother's face and couldn't help laughing and handed the young man from the Guan family to the palace maid next to her.
"I obey your orders."
The Empress Dowager Qin felt that she had a lot to say, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start. In the end, she had no choice but to touch her forehead and say: "Call the imperial doctor to come and check this young man."
"Yes." Aunt Qi obeyed the order and went to make arrangements.
When she came back, the Queen Mother Qin had asked the palace maid to take the young man of the Guan family to a side hall to rest.
"This child entered the palace alone, but he is still a child who cannot speak clearly. Although we are a royal family, we must be reasonable and check everything in advance to avoid being left behind outside."
The Empress Dowager Qin only felt that this child was troublesome: "When it is checked and it is ready, coax it up and send it to the emperor."
It seems that the emperor has nothing to do and feels uncomfortable, but he wants to take care of Cen Minzhou's family affairs. Otherwise, how could Sister Yuan think of sending the child over? Since he can take care of Heli, the eldest wife of the Cen family, he should also take care of the third wife of the Cen family!
Aunt Qi smiled and said hello when she heard this, and then said: "This young man from the Guan family is mellow and cute. He looks a bit like Sister Yuan when he was a child. I think Sister Yuan brought him here because it was fun." I'll be happy to see you."
"That girl is quirky and always mischievous!" Empress Dowager Qin couldn't help laughing when she thought of Sheng Yuan, "She only wanted to make me happy, but she didn't want to send a stranger's child to the palace. Sent to the palace? He’s still a child after all, and he doesn’t always think well.”
"..." Aunt Qi paused, adjusted her thinking slightly, and said with a smile, "I don't blame Sister Yuan for not thinking carefully. It's rare to see such a round and plump girl with exquisite appearance in Kyoto." Children, if it were me, I'd probably bring them in for you to look at and be happy with them. Who doesn't like a baby?"
Empress Dowager Qin waved her hands disapprovingly: "I saw this young man from the Guan family, and that's all. Although he looked okay, he didn't have the festive energy that Sister Yuan had when she was a child, let alone the clever energy. Damn it! When our sister Yuan was three years old, her little mouth was as talkative as an adult’s. I don’t think this child can speak a complete sentence even now!”
Seeing that the Queen Mother Qin had no interest in the young man, Aunt Qi stopped talking and turned to the Shengyuan Examination.
When she mentioned this, Queen Mother Qin remembered that the servants she sent out had not returned yet: "Aqi, ask Wen Heng, why haven't he returned the servants he sent out? Could it be that Sister Yuan really let those ignorant people know what's going on? Did it affect the exam?"
Wen Heng was the eunuch in charge that the Empress Dowager Qin was used to. Hearing Aunt Qi's message, he comforted him in a gentle voice: "We have been waiting here. When the little brat comes back, I will report it to the Empress Dowager immediately."
Aunt Qi counted the time and found that the young chamberlain had not been out of the palace for too long. It was clear that the Queen Mother was anxious, and she nodded with a smile: "The Queen Mother is concerned and confused. I will stay outside and go back to coax her later."
While the two were talking, the waiter did not wait for him, but instead waited for the palace maid with a frightened face.
Aunt Qi asked the reason and found out that the imperial doctor had just come to examine Xiaolang of the Guan family, but found that the child's arms and legs were covered with bruises, which looked like they had been pinched out.
"Hey! Come with me!" Aunt Qi was shocked when she heard about it, and hurriedly led people to report to the Queen Mother Qin.
“Mr.
When the words presented by the imperial doctor and the maid in the palace were basically consistent, the Queen Mother Qin snorted coldly and ordered: "The imperial doctor should prescribe medicine for the child first! Aqi, wait for them and the young man to be sent there together." Go to the emperor and let him figure it out!"
Everyone saw that the Queen Mother, who had not lost her temper for a long time, had a gloomy face, and they all reacted accordingly.
After the Cining Palace became quiet again, Queen Mother Qin sneered and said: "The Ai family heard that the Longdong Guan family has been through five generations and is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. I thought it was better to think more highly of it, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen." The family's virtue is not worthy of its reputation! The direct descendant was treated like this... It's okay if the family doesn't mention it!"
Aunt Qi is an old woman in the palace, so she is not unfamiliar with these methods: "Ms. Cen San is devoted to her career in the imperial examinations, so she is unhappy with her husband's family. Although she has never reconciled with Sanlang Guan, she is still living separately.
If the Guan family is willing to let him go, that's all. Just looking at the Guan family's criticism of Cen Ge Lao, we know that they may not be willing to do so! If this is the case, it wouldn’t be surprising if his anger would be directed to the husband born to Mrs. Cen San’s wife! Maybe it was the master who did it, or maybe it was the child who was trying to figure out his superiors' intentions with the maid or the maid in front of him, so it's not certain. "
"If a family cannot manage its servants well, or ignores or allows the servants to harm the family, then the roots of such a family will be broken, and the family tradition will surely decline step by step! Maybe it is From the outside, there are no clues for a while, but if no one is willing to take drastic measures to reshape the atmosphere, even good children may be gradually led to bad things, and over time, their decline is inevitable.”
The Empress Dowager Qin also came from a noble family. When she thought of the Guan family, she would inevitably think of the Qin family. The sarcasm on her face became more and more obvious: "If the Guan family didn't occupy Longdong and didn't have so many clan members holding important positions in many places, how could they dare to compete with Yichaoge?" Is Lao Yi giving orders? They are just relying on themselves in a corner of Ju'an, and Cen Minzhou, the wall-mounted boss, has nothing to do with them!"
Seeing that Queen Mother Qin's face was still angry, Aunt Qi was afraid that she would think about the past and cause discomfort, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said: "I just feel sorry for Mrs. Cen. Mr. Cen only has eyes for the husband of the Cen family, and he refuses to give his daughter to her." As a support, if the Guan family refuses to reconcile, she will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, fearing that there will be entanglements in the future."
"That's not necessarily the case." Empress Dowager Qin thought of that girl, her eyes sparkling, "If that girl is decisive, there is no chance that she will be able to make a future."
Aunt Qi seemed a little excited when she saw the Queen Mother talking about this, and she couldn't help but wanted to continue asking curiously.
Just at this time, the young chamberlain sent by Wen Heng came back to resume his duties.
"You said...Sister Yuan had the Cen and Guan families knocked out with medicine?" Queen Mother Qin couldn't help but ask again.
She had frightened herself before and imagined a lot of scenes of Sister Yuan being bullied. Although she knew that the child was not a bully, she couldn't help but think so.
"I thought that girl was so angry that she couldn't help but ask someone to beat Cen and Guan, but she was just knocked unconscious?!"
When the young chamberlain recounted the situation again, Empress Dowager Qin couldn't help smiling and stroking her hands: "That girl has grown up and understands the importance!"
"..." Aunt Qi looked at the sincere relief on the Queen Mother's face and was embarrassed to flatter her.
