The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 56 The Queen Mother
Cining Palace.

In the queen mother's residence, sandalwood was bursting in the palace, Zhao Quan was led by the eunuch, and he had the illusion that he had come to the temple.

Just which temple would be so magnificent?
The queen mother is paying respects to the Buddha.

She is also plainly dressed, wearing plain white Sanskrit silk and satin clothes, and there is no trace of jewelry on her bun. She is more than 50 years old, but she does not look old, but has a kind of Buddha air.

An old palace lady came to report: "The Empress Dowager, the Taiwei is here and waiting in the front hall."

The Empress Dowager sat cross-legged on the futon, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

After hearing this, he stopped moving, and slowly opened his eyes, a pair of slightly cloudy eyes revealed a sharp and sensitive air.

He opened the mouth and said, "Bring Mr. Taiwei in."

The voice was a little cold, and the tone was calm and calm.

"Yes." The old maid bowed and then withdrew.

Nanny Fang, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, looked outside and said, "Queen Mother, could it be that something went wrong this morning when Mr. Taiwei came?"

"Are there still few problems?" The queen mother closed her eyes, twirling the beads with her hands, and asked in a neutral manner.

Nanny Fang immediately closed her mouth, lowered her head and stopped talking.

It wasn't until the arrival of Taiwei Zhao that the queen mother got up from Putian.

"The old minister pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother was supported slowly to the side room on the side of the Buddhist hall, and said: "My brother is here, sit down."

After the Queen Mother sat down on the chair, Zhao Taiwei dared to sit beside her.

"Is the Queen Mother in good health?"

"Well, you came to Ai's family today just to greet Ai's family?" The Empress Dowager always didn't like other people lingering in front of her, especially if the person in front of her was her own younger brother.

Zhao Quan smiled cheerfully, and said hastily: "Today the regent has dealt with the prefect of Yangzhou and his officials, and His Majesty has confronted the regent in front of the courtiers for this."

"Hmph." The queen mother sneered and just sipped her tea indifferently, without saying or asking any more questions.

At this moment, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door: "The emperor is here!"

Taiwei Zhao quickly stood up and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I am afraid that the old minister will offend Your Majesty today..."

"Well, you go first." The queen mother said.

It didn't take long to see the emperor in dragon robes running in, "My son and my mother pay their respects to the queen."

"The emperor is here, hurry up and sit next to the queen mother." The queen mother changed her previous innocence and waved to the emperor with a loving smile.

Yan Anzhi was overjoyed, and hurried to the Queen Mother: "Mother, today the regent is bullying the ministers in front of the officials! Even the uncle is speaking for the regent!"

"The emperor was wronged. Yan Sihan is the person left behind by your father, and your uncle has no real power now, so he has no choice but to submit." The queen mother comforted.

"But the queen mother! Is it possible that the ministers will have to listen to the regent in the future? The ministers are the king of a country!"

The Empress Dowager's complexion also became serious, and she said in a deep voice: "If the regent is not removed, it will be difficult for you, my son, to control the government! Just follow your uncle's arrangement, and get rid of the regent, just around the corner."

Hearing this, Yan Anzhi nodded in agreement, and then said rather dissatisfied: "The regent left all today's memorials to his ministers. If I have to deal with everything, what do you want the regent to do!"

"You are the emperor, you can do whatever you want, and don't do what you don't want to do." These words came from the empress dowager's comfort.

When Yan Anzhi heard this, he still felt that something was wrong. If he really didn't manage it, the king regent would investigate him in the future, and he would have to severely reprimand him.

His complexion turned bitter for a moment, it was really humiliating for him to listen to the regent's pointing and pointing, even though he was the emperor!

He stood up and said: "Mother, there are a lot of things today, so I will take my leave first, and come back to accompany my mother some other day."

"Well, let's go." The Queen Mother nodded with a gentle smile.

After the emperor left, Mother Fang took the initiative to come out and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is still filial."

Regarding this, the queen mother was just indifferent: "What's the use of filial piety? After all, he is not the son of the Ai family."

Nanny Fang also knew about this, the queen mother was infertile when she was a queen, and when she was forty, the noble concubine was favored and arrogant, and the queen's position was turbulent.

In order to protect the position of empress, she took a fancy to a nobleman who was born as a court lady. When she was pregnant and waiting to give birth, the mother left her son and received it by her side to raise.

It is considered to have kept the turbulent Queen's position.
