. "Queen Mother, Concubine Shu is here."
Aunt Jin looked up thoughtfully and glanced at the Queen Mother. She was a little unpredictable about the Queen Mother's thoughts tonight. She had known about what happened in Leng Palace for a long time. If she was really worried about that person, she should have taken action long ago. .
The Queen Mother was reading a Buddhist scripture and turning the pages, "Let her come in."
"yes."
Aunt Jin bowed her head and retreated, and soon a woman in aqua blue palace clothes walked in with light steps, the tassels and jade ornaments on her bun making a clanking sound.
"I send my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and happiness."
Xie Churou performed a standard salute, her voice was as clear and moving as an oriole, and her whole person looked gentle and elegant.
"Get up."
The Queen Mother put down the Buddhist scriptures a little irritably, but in fact she didn't read anything just now, because she always felt very irritable somewhere in her heart, and her whole heart could not calm down. No matter how many scriptures she read, she could not calm down.
"You all step aside, I have something to say to the Queen Mother alone."
Xie Churou looked around and asked all the people waiting around to retreat.
"Auntie, Concubine Zheng has become more and more bullying in recent days. She often makes sarcastic remarks in front of me, not to mention she dares to plot against the person in the cold palace. This obviously does not take my aunt's face into consideration!"
Xie Churou bit her lip angrily. It had been almost four years since she entered the palace, but in the past four years, she always seemed to be under the shadow of Concubine Zheng. Ever since Xie Ruling was deposed, Concubine Zheng had been in the harem. Dominate.
"Do you think the Ai family doesn't know this? What's the use of knowing it? Ru Ling entered the cold palace just to bet on that breath. The Ai family couldn't stop her even if they wanted to, but they didn't expect that she would stay in the cold palace for so long. for many years!"
When talking about what happened back then, the Queen Mother still hated the iron. She knew that Ru Ling was very arrogant, but she didn't expect that she could be so arrogant. She joined Leng Gong as soon as she was told and stayed there for so many years. .
She knew the grievance of being wronged, but now that she had entered the harem, she had to control her temper and not act like the eldest lady at home.
At that time, I thought it would be good to live in the cold palace for a year or two to sharpen my temper, but I didn't expect that I would never come out once I entered it!
"Sister Ruling has also been wronged. She has not had a good time in the cold palace for so many years. It seems that it was caused by the charcoal theft. This must be Concubine Zheng's conspiracy. I am afraid she thinks that my aunt has treated Sister Ruling for so many years. No matter what, just dare to plot against her boldly!"
Xie Churou said angrily that at first she always said that Concubine Xie was arrogant and domineering, but now she only felt that Concubine Zheng was the real arrogant and domineering one.
Thinking that having a son and a daughter was the greatest confidence, His Majesty gave her the right to manage the harem. Although the queen was deposed and the queen was not established in the harem, Concubine Zheng was still acting as the queen.
"She is willing to stay in the cold palace. No one can persuade her. Unless she wants to come out, she was tricked today. She should know how painful it is to be hit by this plan. Unless she is still willing to stay in the cold palace in the future, Unless she wants to get beaten up a few times in the future, she will always ask for help."
After all, the Queen Mother had been thinking longer, and she also knew that the most important thing about this person was her own heart. Even if she asked someone to pull Xie Ruling out of the cold palace at this moment, what use would it be? Xie Ruling was willing to Stay there.
Even if the person is pulled out, the heart has not come out. It is just an empty shell. What's the use?
"I heard that Sister Ruling seems to be raising the daughter of Queen Mu, the princess who is in the cold palace."
Xie Churou thought about it carefully and mentioned that Queen Mu was also quite sad at the beginning, and she heard that she died in the cold palace just last month. It was really pitiful to think about it.
"It's just a princess, just keep her if you want to raise her," the queen mother didn't care. "Raising a child can at least temper her temper. Don't want to be as pampered as before when she comes out. How can the Ai family still protect her?" For life?"
The Queen Mother said helplessly that she used to like that girl quite a lot. The girl was arrogant. If she married an ordinary family, she would definitely be able to live a stable life with the power of the Xie family.
But who would have thought that he would actually fall in love with the emperor. This companion is like a tiger. If you can't control your temper, you will suffer!
In the beginning, it was just because of that incident that the trouble had to come to this point. I thought it would be a good idea to temper my temper in the cold palace. I should have figured it out in a year or two at most, right?
But I didn’t expect that it’s been almost eight years. Does this tone have to be a gamble for so long?
"My aunt is the Queen Mother. She has been aloof for too long. Sister Ruling, who had just entered the palace, was full of love. At that time, she was the most beloved by His Majesty. Your Majesty was willing to believe Concubine Zheng's clumsy plan. At that time, this was because it had severely broken her heart, so she was so desperate that she voluntarily went to the cold palace."
Xie Churou couldn't help but feel aggrieved. She was also a woman, so how could she not understand Xie Ruling's original actions?
When your full love is hurt by others, you will be really disheartened.
"Although you two are just nieces from the same clan as the Ai family, the Ai family seems to like you two very much. I want to make something clear to you two. After entering the palace, these romantic things are the most important. It’s not important, Ru Ling is just too persistent in love, and that’s why she suffered a big sin!”
Seeing her two favorite nieces being more stubborn than the other, the Queen Mother was really helpless.
Many of these things seemed to be bigger than the sky when I was young. When I get older, when I look back, they are really nothing more than that.
That girl Ru Ling will definitely regret it in the future. The eight years in the cold palace were all spent slowly!
"In a few days, I will bring some medicine and clothes to the Cold Palace to see Sister Ruling. I also visited her after I entered the palace. Except for letting me in a few times, she was unwilling to see me most of the time. Yes She doesn’t want to see everyone in the palace, she wants to isolate herself in the cold palace.”
Mentioning those things, Xie Churou couldn't help shaking her head. When she entered the palace, it had been almost four years since Xie Ruling was sent to the cold palace. At that time, out of the feelings of being sisters of the same race, she thought about going to the cold palace. have a look.
But every time she went there, she was met with disappointment. Xie Ruling didn't want to see her. To be precise, she didn't want to see everyone in the palace. It can be seen that what happened at the beginning really made her despair.
"Then when you go, you have to persuade her well. Whether she can get out of the cold palace is just a matter of words. She has to suffer there. Even if the Ai family has the intention, it is powerless. In fact, it has been so many years, no matter how deep it is, It’s time to let go of all the hatred.”
The Queen Mother sighed and said, in fact, whether this can be brought out of the cold palace is just a matter of her words. It has been so many years, and Her Majesty will not pay attention to this matter. Even if it is for the sake of her, the Queen Mother, she will allow it. Ru Ling came out of the cold palace.
"Yes, I will tell you. This time I will persuade Sister Ruling to be good."
Xie Churou nodded. In fact, in addition to the sisterhood of the same clan, she also wanted Xie Ruling to come out and help her resist Concubine Zheng.
The relationship between the Queen Mother and His Majesty is not close. This was the case when His Majesty was still the prince. The Queen Mother prefers His Majesty's younger brother, King Rui, so the mother-son friendship between His Highness and the Queen Mother has always been weak after he ascended the throne.
It is precisely because of this that the Queen Mother allowed the good girls of the Xie family to enter the palace one after another, hoping to alleviate the alienation and indifference between mother and son.
When Ruling entered the palace, she was quite popular with His Majesty. She was made a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, but she was made a noble concubine in March. Everyone said that Concubine Xie was arrogant and arrogant back then, but so what, your Majesty is still fond of her. Very good?
But later, after Concubine Zheng entered the palace, her love for Ru Ling seemed to slowly slow down. At that time, Concubine Zheng was pregnant within half a year, and His Majesty completely ignored Ru Ling.
The people in the palace always flatter others and put down others. Seeing that Ru Ling has fallen out of favor, they are a little bit neglectful towards her. But Ru Ling has never been a person who can tolerate such things. The more neglected, the more she becomes. It is to punish the slave.
When these things came to His Majesty's ears, they were naturally processed. In addition, there was a considerate and beautiful woman like Concubine Zheng in front of her. How could she think of Ru Ling, whom she loved at first? I'm afraid the impression became more and more intense. Difference.
Later, Concubine Zheng had abdominal pain, and the imperial doctor was informed that she had eaten something that could cause a tire slip. His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. Later, it was found on Ru Ling.
At that time, Ruling had a lot of resentment in her heart since she fell out of favor, and the incident with Concubine Zheng was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Especially seeing how His Majesty had wronged her like this, Ruling was so angry that she was willing to ask herself to give up her position as a concubine, and to go to the cold palace and never see her again.
At the beginning, everyone thought that these decisions were just actions made by Ru Ling because she was too aggrieved. They thought that she would stay in the cold palace for a year or two at most before she could no longer bear it and come out, right?
But I never expected that this was already the eighth year, and Ru Ling's tone had really been blocked for too long.
It was precisely because after Ruling entered the Leng Palace, she stopped coming with people outside the Leng Palace. The Queen Mother had no choice but to choose her to enter the palace.
But her life after entering the palace was not easy. Concubine Zheng already had a son and a daughter, and her position was the most stable. His Majesty gave her full power to manage the harem. The other concubines were all vying to please her. They are all people who flatter others and suppress others!
She didn't like to fight about these things, so her life was not bad at all. After all, the Queen Mother was her aunt, so her food and clothing would not be any worse.
It's just that sometimes I really don't want to be so angry. Concubine Zheng is really very good at making things difficult and sarcastic. She is so angry about many things that she can't sleep for days and nights.
"By the way, I went to help the Ai family to see what kind of child Princess Xin'er was. Ru Ling was able to raise her, which means that the child must be lovable. What your Majesty did at the beginning was really too much. The Ai family Even if you want to say something, His Majesty won’t listen!”
The Queen Mother always feels a little guilty when it comes to what happened back then. After all, Her Majesty was able to ascend the throne with the help of the Mu family's influence. She didn't expect that in the end, he would indeed kill everyone, even Mu Wan.
Fortunately, Mu Wan gave birth to a daughter in the cold palace, so she can survive until now. Otherwise, both mother and child would not survive. No matter what, it would be great if the daughter can survive.
In the future, when the princess grows up, she will have to take her out. Then she can marry someone else. Even if His Majesty doesn't mean it, she will have it. After all, she is His Majesty's own flesh and blood, so how can she let her go for the rest of her life? What about in the cold palace?
