Delicate green plum dressed as the little emperor of green tea

Chapter 383

Xie Chunxiao was betrayed before, although she tried her best to come out, she also tried her best to embrace her current life.

Chu Xiu's existence largely comforted her scarred heart, but there are always scars.

"I know you. You have been a very enthusiastic child since you were a child. You will treat anyone who treats you well, let alone your sweetheart. But it is better for women to be selfish."

"It's not that you are not allowed to love others, but that you must have a sense of proportion when you love someone, and you must learn to hold back, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

As a mother, Xie Chunxiao naturally hoped that Zhen Baozhu would think more about herself.

Zhen Baozhu nodded obediently, she knew that A Niang was doing it for her own good, and there was no one in this world who was kinder to her than A Niang.

Xie Chunxiao was very pleased that her daughter was as well-behaved and sensible as ever.

"As for the Empress Dowager Qi," Xie Chunxiao's eyes flashed sharply, "I was separated from your biological father back then, and I lived briefly in the Jiangling Palace. I remembered her kindness and knew her ambitions, so I reciprocated and sent her news. , when she brought the emperor to the capital, I and even the whole Hou Mansion took good care of her."

At the beginning, Xiehou's Mansion didn't have other better choices, but because of the old friendship between the two families, and the relationship between Zhen Baozhu and Lu Zhan, they decided to choose Lu Zhan.

Xie Chunxiao thought that she would do her utmost to benevolent to Queen Mother Qi, but Queen Mother Qi secretly made things difficult for her daughter.

"In this way, between the two of us, we will owe nothing to anyone. Since she makes things difficult for you, I will not be lenient as a mother."

Zhen Baozhu was secretly startled, "What does A Niang want to do?"

She knew that her grandfather's family had some influence among the generals, but that was all. When it came to influencing the palace affairs, it was impossible.

Xie Chunxiao rubbed Baozhu's head, "After all, Empress Dowager Qi was only the concubine of Jiangling. Although the mother is more valuable than the son, the new emperor was adopted at the knee of the late emperor. It should have nothing to do with these people in Jiangling, let alone benefit Qi. Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Liu."

"At that time, the first emperor was only afraid that the new emperor had just ascended the throne and his foundation was still shallow, so he specially favored Empress Dowager Qi and Empress Dowager Liu."

"I just want the new emperor to have an ally in the harem."

"But now the new emperor obviously doesn't need these two empress dowagers to sit in the harem, so it's time for them to abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

Zhen Baozhu felt a little embarrassed: "This matter is a little difficult. Let's not say that these two queen mothers were conferred by the late emperor, but brother Zhan's feelings for the queen mother would not allow him to do such a thing."

"He won't chase the Queen Mother away."

"Well, it's a bit difficult, but it's not particularly difficult." Xie Chunxiao has been thinking about this problem carefully for a while. When she returned to the capital from Qingzhou alone with the orb, she never let others give it to her. It doesn't make sense that if the orb enters the palace, it will be tortured by the Empress Dowager Qi instead.

She is not someone who just sits and waits to die, she just wants to clear the way for her daughter.

"To make this request rashly now, not to mention that the emperor will not agree, I am afraid that many ministers will think this request is too unreasonable, but what if the Empress Dowager Qi made a mistake first and intends to intervene in politics?" Xie Chunxiao guided step by step. Looking at Zhen Baozhu, "You must know that they themselves are somewhat inappropriate when they become queen mothers."

It has to be said that Zhen Baozhu felt that the method A Niang proposed was very feasible.

Xie Chunxiao and Zhen Baozhu whispered again: "The Empress Dowager Qi relied on her adopted son to become the Empress Dowager. She has no family support behind her, and her roots are basically weak. Now her only reliance is her natal family's Chengenhou Mansion."

"Because of this, she will devote herself to making her niece gain favor as soon as possible."

"The Marquis Cheng En is also a man of real ability and hard work. Since marrying the Zhuang family, he has successfully gained a foothold in the household department. Household Department."

"With this nephew, the Empress Dowager Qi can breathe a sigh of relief. If Marquis Chengen commits a crime, do you think the Empress Dowager Qi will try to intervene in politics?"

Zhen Baozhu thought for a while, and said: "The Empress Dowager Qi will definitely find ways to speak for Marquis Cheng En in front of Brother Zhan. If these words are spread, it will be a surefire way to intervene in politics."

"But Cheng Enhou didn't do anything wrong, did he?"

"If Marquis Cheng En suffers because of these palace fights, I feel a little unbearable."

Xie Chunxiao sighed, and thought that Zhen Baozhu was still young, and she still had some kindness in women.

But in her heart, the world is not as important as her own daughter.

If her daughter really disagreed, she could only handle the matter in private, as long as Baozhu could not be ruled by Queen Mother Qi in the palace, and her safety could be guaranteed, she would do anything.

It is true that she is not a particularly ruthless person. As an official, the crimes she committed ranged from minor to serious. She did not think of killing Cheng Enhou, as long as the Queen Mother Qi's goal of intervening in politics was achieved.

"Think carefully, after all, getting rid of Empress Dowager Qi is not a temporary matter." Xie Chunxiao said.

Zhen Baozhu was a little confused, but said to Xie Chunxiao again and again: "Mother, don't worry about the Empress Dowager Qi's affairs. Although she didn't treat me very well, she didn't make things difficult on purpose."

"What do you mean by not deliberately embarrassing me? I have heard about being a mother. She made you kneel outside for a long time in front of many concubines. Today she just made you kneel. If you become pregnant in the future, you will not I know what secret means she is going to use."

"Being a woman has to be ruthless, and being a concubine is even more ruthless. In the palace, kindness is the most useless thing. Living is the most important thing."

Xie Chunxiao spoke dryly, afraid that Zhen Baozhu would be bullied for being too kind, and repeated it several times.

Zhen Baozhu responded over and over again, and finally said with a smile: "After that, brother Zhan came forward, and it has been a long time since Queen Mother Qi made things difficult for me."

"Look, you're playing sloppy with me again. Do you think I'm outside the palace and don't know anything about the situation in the palace? She and her little niece even slandered you for having an affair with someone, and took someone to catch the adulterer in the middle of the night."

Zhen Baozhu was dumbfounded, A Niang even knew this?
Xie Chunxiao said triumphantly: "So, don't think about reporting good news and not bad news in the future. Your eldest aunt has someone in the palace, and we know exactly what's going on."

"The Empress Dowager Qi must be removed. She is so old, and she always thinks about adopting sons to favor women, that is, she is too free. Send her back to Qingzhou, let her face her husband's concubines, give her She's looking for something to do."

Xie Chunxiao fell in love with A Niang's admiration, and said: "I thought so too, but don't worry about it beforehand, after all, the Queen Mother Qi is not the only enemy in the palace, and the Queen Mother Qi is Brother Zhan's adoptive mother, no matter how you say it, she won't do it." Things that are not good for brother Zhan are just making things difficult for me now."

"Empress Shen is not sure. She has a big ambition. What she really wants is brother Zhan's life. My honor and disgrace are all tied to brother Zhan. We must distinguish between priorities."
