"No one would be cruel enough to sell their children into the palace as slaves unless absolutely necessary, right?"
"My mother and I used to think that in addition to being my husband, your father is also the emperor of this world. The people of the world need him as much as I do, but he can only give so much. There will always be times when he cares about one thing and the other. As his Queen, you should not care about personal gains and losses, you should stand by his side and assist him, and together we can do our best for Li Tang and the people of the world."
"The queen mother thinks that only in this way can she be considered a good queen!"
Empress Wang held her in her arms and said warmly: "But after my mother entered the cold palace, she learned from the concubines, maids and eunuchs who were sent to the cold palace that they had a very hard life before entering the palace. Some of them even had no choice but to be persecuted by corrupt officials. He entered the palace, but later he was relegated to the cold palace because of his mistakes."
"The situation of these people is more miserable than mine, so why should I be brooding over my past and current situation?"
"On the contrary, the queen will think that when she was a queen, there were many times when she cared too much about your father's favor, so she acted unfairly and was not a good queen."
She was framed and thrown into the cold palace, unable to defend herself. After experiencing so much, she was actually reflecting on whether it was unfair to be a queen before.
Is she introspecting and reviewing her gains and losses?
After enduring the fire, there is no resentment, but the most beautiful flower can bloom in the fire.
This is probably the pattern of being a queen of the Tang Dynasty.
No wonder Master Yao asked her to protect his mother before he died. Master Yao knew very well that the Tang Dynasty needed people like her who were frank, selfless and righteous to sit firmly in the back seat.
Queen Wang took off her shoes and socks and asked her to put her feet into the stream to enjoy the coolness. After hearing this, Li Sixu was a little touched and tilted her head in her arms like a baby.
"The queen is already doing very well. I feel that it is precisely because the queen took care of the harem in order that the father can handle the affairs of the court with peace of mind and does not have to worry about things in the palace."
"The Queen Mother is too benevolent, magnanimous and selfless. She disdains plots and intrigues. She doesn't want to stir up troubles and intrigues in the back. The brothers and sisters in the palace are living a good life. In their hearts, the ladies are grateful to the Queen Mother's Zeren and You are generous, these are all the work of your mother."
"Some people don't know how to cherish them, so let's ignore them!"
Xuanzong and Yang Sixu, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
He didn't know that the little cotton-padded jacket he loved so much would go behind his back and say bad things about him in front of the Queen and the Queen?
When Xuanzong secretly made a note for her in his heart, the queen rubbed Li Sixu's little head: "The queen felt that these were not enough. She wanted to be a country where ordinary people like Yang Qing before entering the palace could live in the big world. Only a queen who lived and worked in peace and contentment in the Tang Dynasty is worthy of the title of Empress of the Tang Dynasty."
"It's just that now your mother doesn't need to think about these things anymore!"
Queen Wang said contentedly: "With you by my side, I can live a leisurely life farming and raising chickens and ducks in the cold palace."
After holding Li Sixu in her arms and sitting next to the canal and playing with the water for a while, Queen Wang obviously remembered that there was one more thing she had to do. She stood up anxiously: "By the way, the pigs have not been fed, and I have to feed the pigs!"
"Are you going to the pig pen with the queen, or are you going to cool down here?"
Li Sixu quickly retracted her feet from the stream, wiped off the water stains with her skirt and put on her shoes and socks.
"Sisi went to feed the pigs with the queen..."
His tenth princess also pulled the queen and danced around like a baby. Only when the two shadows, one big and one small, walked away did Xuanzong recover from the petrification.
He looked at Yang Sixu: "Did I hear you correctly? The queen said to feed the pigs?"
"Yes, you heard that right!"
Yang Sixu was also confused: "The Queen and the Tenth Princess are raising pigs in the cold palace!"
After finally digesting the news that the queen was indeed raising pigs, Xuanzong snorted: "How dare you raise pigs in the cold palace without my permission?"
Yang Sixu wanted to laugh!
The little princess always does some weird things. With her in the palace, everything seems to be more interesting.
It's no wonder that the ladies of the palaces and her royal brothers and sisters all like the princess.
The balance tilted a little towards Li Sixu, and Yang Sixu subconsciously spoke for her: "The emperor has given the Leng Palace to the princess and said that he will not interfere in the affairs of the Leng Palace."
"How could I not keep my word?"
Xuanzong said sourly: "She is not as good to me as she is to the queen. She and the queen are even better."
"The queen actually feels at ease in the cold palace. It seems that she has forgotten that she is the queen of the Tang Dynasty and no longer wants to leave the cold palace!"
In that last sentence, the emperor actually seemed a little angry?
The corner of Yang Sixu's mouth twitched!
Does the Emperor want to take the Queen out of the cold palace?
Under the cover of the vines in the yam field, when Xuanzong and Yang Sixu returned to the foot of the wall next to the courgette field, they saw Concubine De still lying on the ground and not waking up.
Xuanzong remembered that the land next to the creek was hoed by the queen last time. There were strange low plants growing in the land, with small yellow flowers blooming on them. They looked very lively and energetic.
Xuanzong asked Yang Sixu: "What does the queen plant?"
Before entering the palace, Yang Sixu was the son of the leader of the barbarian tribe in Lingnan. He had seen various crops while traveling around, but he squatted on the ground and studied them with Xuanzong for a long time, but he couldn't identify what they were.
"The old slave thought it was the medicinal material grown by the little princess."
He suggested: "Why don't I dig a plant for your majesty, and ask the imperial doctor or the minister of agriculture to identify it?"
Thinking that the queen planted it, the plant with small yellow flowers was pretty pretty, Xuanzong nodded: "Just plant it in the flowerbed outside the imperial study room!"
The stunned Concubine De had no idea that a flower thief had entered the cold palace. After she woke up from the ground, her face was smelly because of the dung residue, so she washed her face with water from the stream and continued to take the dung ladle. Water vegetables.
While pouring it back, he cursed: "That little bitch Xu Cairen made me suffer such shame and humiliation. When I get out of the cold palace, I won't let her go. She won't give me food if I don't pick excrement and pour excrement on her." , Let me starve, what a bitch, so vicious, so dark..."
In fact, there was a hole in the broken wall of the cold palace pig pen. When Queen Wang was feeding the pigs, Li Sixu looked through the hole and saw Xuanzong who was invisible among the vines with Yang Sixu.
As she practiced the Taoism recorded in the Sun family's medical inheritance, Li Sixu became more and more intelligent. She had actually noticed that his father and Eunuch Yang were hiding in the medicine field next to the canal.
Last time outside Chenxiang Pavilion, Eunuch Yang was in the dark, and she actually knew it.
She deliberately revealed to Yang Sixu what her uncle Wang wanted to leave the palace for the summer resort.
Sure enough, Eunuch Yang really favored her!
She actually went behind her father's back and followed her wishes, allowing his uncle Wang to get what he wanted, and successfully made Ming Si commit suicide out of fear of guilt.
At this moment, Li Sixu smiled as she looked at the people disappearing from the bank of the field.
Queen Wang, who was feeding the pigs, looked up and saw her smiling: "What makes the queen's little princess so happy?"
