It's just that although she had already put her own life and death aside for the sake of family honor, Qiu Wan's ideas were obviously contrary to Queen Min's.
Therefore, when Queen Min asked her to incinerate the letter she had read, she was slow to act.
Queen Min only glanced at Qiu Wan faintly.
Queen Min didn't need to say anything, Qiu Wan had already knelt on the ground.
Qiu Wan whispered, "Madam, this is too risky, please think again!"
However, Queen Min's slanting phoenix eyes only showed the coldness of a person in a superior position.
"Qiu Wan, I don't avoid you because you are loyal and clever. What I need is a think tank who can give me advice, not a long-serving officer who questions my decisions."
Queen Min's words were as cold as the ice on the eaves in the cold moon, and they pierced directly into Qiu Wan's heart.
Under her intimidation, Qiu Wan only lowered her head, but stubbornly refused to answer.
"Qiu Wan, are you determined to go against me? Aren't you afraid that I will send you back to the swamp prison full of snakes, insects, rats and ants?"
Queen Min's words were to intimidate her, but also to give her some advice.
Qiu Wan only had a slight tremor on her spine.
After all, if there had been no Queen Min, what she just said was the fate she would face as the daughter of a guilty minister.
Although she did nothing when she was still young, her father was on the wrong side.
Her father's decision easily plunged herself and her people into a place of eternal doom.
After Emperor Yong Ling was deposed, her father was soon put to death on some false and true charges. She heard the jailers tell her that before leaving, her father was still making passionate speeches against the man who controlled the government. Four assistant ministers.
However, these behaviors are really stupid in Qiu Wan's opinion.
After all, if his father hadn't been too radical back then, he would have ignored it. In fact, their family would not be liquidated so completely.
Even though the Chen family wanted to let him go because of their reputation, the other families couldn't let him go easily.
Moreover, Emperor Yong Ling was not a wise king. Apart from the fact that he had the orthodox blood of the imperial power in his body, the scandalous things he did were also publicized by the other three families. His reputation spread far and wide, so even though Emperor Yong Ling came to the throne, he was deposed by the Chen family in the name of the Queen Mother only three months later. But there was no scholar to speak for him.
On the contrary, it was her father who was so stupid that people at the time had to praise his integrity.
After all, there are not many strong bones in this world, but it is a pity that this toughness was obtained at the cost of the lives of himself and the men directly under him, as well as the fate of the female family members as slaves.
There are two sides to one thing. Sometimes I don’t know whether this person is selfish or selfless.
She and her father are two completely different models.
After all, she is a concubine, and her mother was born in Hualou, but she is nothing more than a concubine.
Moreover, although her mother was favored by her father in her early years, she was not a good judge of others. She acted too high-profile, and was a beauty who was the leader of the church before she was a good person, so she was only used to being praised by others.
She even thought that everything would be fine with her husband's favor, but she didn't know that the back house has always been a battlefield between women.
And what these men want to marry you home is just for your gentleness and beauty.
A few other ladies can make enough for a person to drink a pot just by making some small mistakes. If you want to find out who did it, there is no one who can instigate it. Even if you cry and ask the man you think loves you to the bone to stand up for you a few times.
Cry once or twice, and maybe he will stand up for you. If you cry too much, they will start to get bored and even think that you are the troublemaker.
After all, this era has always told them that they should build their own merits and achievements outside their own country. As for women and families, they are nothing more than trophies outside of their achievements.
In addition, traditional men always only love young and beautiful girls no matter how old they are, so her father found several more obedient and easy-to-handle beautiful concubines in the side room. Naturally, he also forgot about the oath of love he had promised to his mother.
Children born from such a concubine are no different from maids. In addition, her mother was too flamboyant in her early years and offended many people.
After her mother fell out of favor, her life was actually very difficult for a long time, and even the servants in the house started to make things difficult for them and their daughter.
If she hadn't gotten a chance to save the mistress's daughter later and attracted her attention,
She took advantage of the opportunity to please her mistress in every way. She was afraid that she would die due to the harsh treatment and torture of those servants.
As for her appearance and behavior around the mistress, although she was looked down upon by other people in the room, they secretly scolded her for being a little snob.
But she, who had never been looked down upon, didn't find these words so uncomfortable.
At least she can eat more than before.
She even got several rewards from her mistress.
Therefore, because of this experience, she did not cry even after she was taken out of prison and marked as a slave together with her half-sisters.
Later, when she was sent to various prefectures by the nuns to be sold, she did not refuse to face her future fate like the other sisters, or she was confused and did not know what day it was.
She only deliberately tried to please and flatter Ya Po, just like she had flattered the jealous and harsh mistress. She also kept the jade bracelet that her mistress had given her secretly on her body and gave it to Ya Po, just asking Ya Po to pity her. , find a place for her to sell that is not so difficult.
There was no enmity between Ya Po and Qiu Wan's family, Qiu Wan was very sensible, and women had a soft nature. The Yapo didn't let her suffer much, and even showed her a suitable mansion for sale.
It's just that those mansions that wanted to bring the Qiu family's female relatives couldn't be avoided. She then calculated the general situation of each mansion that she had heard when she was with her mistress, and then decided what she should look like based on the situation of each mansion.
Fortunately, she was still young and had not grown up at that time, even though some mansions were willing to humiliate these female relatives. The only ones chosen are those girls who have already grown.
And she looked silly and clumsy.
Even though some people with evil intentions want to vent their anger over the previous disputes by bullying the female members of the Qiu family. He won't blame her.
After all, what fun is there in bullying an idiot who still smiles when you pinch her? Besides, she's so clumsy, maybe she's not angry yet, but you're going crazy with her recklessness.
Therefore, she went from house to house again and again, where the female members of the Qiu family were hired by name.
Until she entered the Chen Mansion, she knew that her family's confiscation was also involved in the Chen Mansion.
But she also knew that the Chen Mansion was one of the few residences in Beijing that had a reputation for not doing dirty things. After all, the Chen family is a family of three father-in-laws, and the Chen family once produced a famous virtuous queen. How could the family tradition in a place like this be so bad?
And since she was a maid anyway, in the choice of life, she had to choose the most prominent family. Otherwise, how could she live up to the term snobbery that those people once said about her.
She also knew that the women in the Chen family were used to being arrogant and domineering.
I've only heard people say that Miss Chen is a model lady. Everyone said that he had the demeanor of the wise empress Chen Jin.
She doesn't want revenge, she just wants to live a better life as much as possible.
Therefore, when she saw Chen Zhiwei, who was still young at that time, she tried her best to look pitiful in front of him.
At that time, the Miss Chen family had not yet entered the palace, and her mind was as pure as her character.
At least she couldn't bear to see the poor man, and Na Yapo helped him to say a few words.
Miss Chen took her into her courtyard.
Queen Min treated her very well, just like the ideal eldest sister. Even if he later entered the palace and was tortured into changing his character. Queen Min became more and more unsmiling and harsh in her words, but she still treated her well in actual actions.
She originally thought that she was just a snobbish and heartless little white-eyed wolf as they scolded her.
After all, when she was in the swamp prison and listened to the guards vividly describe how her father was abandoned and killed, she never shed a single tear.
After all, when the mistress's legitimate daughter bit her tongue and committed suicide in prison, she didn't stop her.
But after meeting Chen Zhiwei, she realized that she could actually feel sorry for someone sincerely.
Seeing that Qiu Wan was still motionless, Queen Min just sighed and said, "Qiu Wan, don't worry, if I fail, I will leave you a way out. I only let you come up with ideas, and I will not let you You’re involved in every aspect of it.”
Before Qiu Wan could answer, the palace people's greetings came one after another outside the palace.
When Zhao Yanzhen stepped into the room, he saw Qiu Wan kneeling on the ground, and the queen mother was obviously very embarrassed.
He took the initiative to walk to Queen Min, bowed politely, and then asked, "Queen Mother, what mistake did Sister Wan make? Do you want to punish her like this?"
Empress Min only said, "It's nothing, she just accidentally broke one of my favorite phoenix hairpins."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only smiled slightly. He was already a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth.
At this time, this smile was even more charming and full of spirit for a few minutes.
"The Queen Mother will order someone to create another one in the future. The Queen Mother must not be angry with Sister Wan." His voice was like the collision of sapphires.
Even if I try my best to restrain myself, I can still feel the joyful and bright mood.
Seeing her son in such high spirits and without any shadow of gloom, Queen Min was proud.
Even though she can be considered a failure in her life, Zhao Yanzhen is undoubtedly the proudest person in her life.
She and Emperor Yong had always been in love with each other. If it weren't for the Chen family's pressure, Emperor Yong would have been deposed long ago because of his marriage.
But no matter how much Emperor Yong disliked her, their son had always been cute and lovable since he was a child.
Therefore, he always loved Zhao Yanzhen very much.
Queen Min seemed to be affected by her emotions and said, "Of course I don't mean to blame her. Qiu Wan, go and bring a bowl of Tremella Lotus Seed Soup for His Highness."
After saying that, she just motioned for Qiu Wan to go down first.
Qiu Wan looked at Zhao Yanzhen, but she was hesitant to speak. But in the end she said nothing. He just retreated silently.
Although Queen Min was very satisfied with Zhao Yanzhen, she was also very strict. She quickly calmed down and said, "Yanzhen, if you don't study with Mr. Meng Han now, why are you here with your mother?"
Zhao Yanzhen only said respectfully, "To return to my mother, Mr. Meng Han has been feeling cold these days, and the study has not been opened for several days."
Queen Min obviously disagreed with this, "Even if there are no classes in the study, you should be tighter on weekdays."
"What the Queen Mother said is that I have been busy with my homework in the past two days. I came here today just because my father gave me some cakes newly made in the imperial kitchen. After I tasted them, I thought they tasted very good, so I came here. I want my mother to taste it first. That’s why I have the courage to come to Fengchen Palace.”
