Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 94 Own Ways
Sheng Shaoqing asked him to get up in a gentle voice, and the child stood up boldly, but his eyes were still fixed on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Che'er, why didn't you introduce it to the queen mother?"

Only then did Yuan Che rub the back of his head in embarrassment, and said to Sheng Shaoqing, "This is the friend I met in the palace recently. He came to the palace to participate in the election as a companion, so I just..."

Seeing that Sheng Shaoqing was still a little puzzled, Yuan Che quickly talked about the benefits of his friend, "Mother, don't look at him not talking now, he, he is really good at making things!"

Then, Yuan Che shook the wooden horse just now as if showing off, turned around and waved to the little eunuch behind him, and the eunuch cleverly walked up with a plate, all of which were small wooden objects, although It's not exquisite, and the carving skills are not very mature, but it can be seen that it was done with care, revealing a childlike innocence and simplicity.

Looking at Yuan Che's expectant eyes, Sheng Shaoqing was secretly startled by the child's precocity, but he didn't intend to object to his idea, and just smiled and said, "You are so well prepared, can the queen not let him stay?"

Yuan Che cheered, jumped to the couch, pulled his Aning and said, "Look, I said that the queen mother will agree to let you stay!"

"Che'er, my mother stewed your favorite big chicken drumsticks for you in the back kitchen in the afternoon, you go to see if Auntie Aning is ready, and my mother would like to say a few words to your friend, what do you think? "

Yuan Che was still immersed in the joy of his friend being able to stay, nodded and rushed out.

Seeing Yuan Che leave, the child panicked again, and the little hands under the sleeves trembled unconsciously.

"I heard Che'er called you Aning just now, so what's your name?"

The child was about to answer when the queen mother asked her a question, but Sheng Shaoqing continued, "Don't be afraid, since I promised Che'er to let you stay, you can stay at ease. Che'er regards you as a friend, and I won't make things difficult You, you just have to be brave enough to answer."

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Ah Ning was relieved, and boldly replied, "The minister's name is He Yuning, and everyone in the family calls him Aning, so Your Majesty also calls him Aning."

"What's your last name?"

That means he was born in Jiangdong?

He Yuning nodded, "Yes."

"Then your uncle is He Zizhi, a regular servant of Sanqi, and your uncle is He Zili, General Anyuan, who is now guarding Jiuluanguan. Your father is slightly inferior, and he is an official in Jizhou. Are you right?"

He Yuning was shocked by the queen mother's amazing memory, he just gave a name, and the queen mother could even accurately name several court officials in his family, which shows that what his father said was true.

Thinking of this, He Yuning became even more nervous, for fear that she would show timidity and lose face at home.

"The Queen Mother is wise."

According to the information provided by the system, the He family had just emerged in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, and it rose rapidly in just a few years. Children and grandchildren, now some people are already in the third rank, and some people are in charge of the military power?
"Your handwork is exquisite? I see that Che'er likes what you make very much."

He Yuning squeezed the corner of his clothes to stabilize his voice, "The empress dowager praises me, my minister... How can the three-legged cat's kung fu compare with the craftsmen in the palace? It's just that your majesty saw that the minister's gadgets are fresh, so... "

Sheng Shaoqing thought that Yuan Che was precocious enough, but when he met He Yuning today, he realized what precocity was. The answers he gave were perfectly matched and leak-free, almost no different from those ministers at the court. If a few years later...

"How old are you this year?"

He Yuning's words were suddenly interrupted, he woke up a little and immediately replied, "I will be nine years old in half a month."

nine years old?

When she was still in Jiewa, He Yuning was already able to meet the top leaders of the country and answered questions fluently. At the same time, she won the favor of the top leaders of the country in the future. Sheng Shaoqing thought that this child was too successful.

On the one hand, Sheng Shaoqing felt the power of the ancient "chicken baby", but on the other hand, he thought that He Yuning was only a little older than Yuan Che, but this child was really mature and frightening, which made Sheng Shaoqing doubt her own education method. I still feel that Yuan Che is precocious. In this comparison, what should Yuan Che do if he can't keep up with his peers?
Outside the courtyard, Yuan Che's footsteps gradually approached, Sheng Shaoqing finally only said to He Yuning, "Your Majesty rarely makes friends, I just ask you, don't disappoint His Majesty's sincerity."

Knowing that he probably passed the test, He Yuning said solemnly, "I will treat Your Majesty with sincerity!"

When Yuan Che rushed in with a big chicken leg, he saw his mother looking at him with indescribable eyes, and his good friend Aning looked at him with less worry and more determination, and he was curious , but the queen mother asked, "Who are you going to give these two chicken legs to?"

broken!

I have to eat it even after forgetting my mother!

Sheng Shaoqing really wanted to teach this little white-eyed wolf who had friends and forgot his mother on the spot, now he was just chicken legs and friends, if he married a daughter-in-law in the future, wouldn't he just throw her mother aside? !

However, He Yuning was also there, and Sheng Shaoqing secretly gave Yuan Che a look of waiting for me. Yuan Che's whole body was agitated, and he quickly looked away, and quietly put the wrapped chicken legs into his sleeves, pretending that nothing happened.

"Che'er, you haven't told the queen mother how you met?"

Sheng Shaoqing didn't realize that he was gnashing his teeth, but Yuan Che heard the prelude that he was going to be beaten that night, so he flinched and said, "A few days ago at the palace banquet, I saw that there were a few more young men of the same age in the palace. Mr. Lang, guessed that the empress mother selected them as companions for the children, and after asking Liu Dajian, he knew where they lived."

"Later, Erchen pretended to be a companion reading with them, but it turned out..."

Yuan Che silently rolled his eyes, "Only Aning is willing to play with me, and the others are either silent, or dislike my fabricated low status, so I only regard Aning as my friend!"

Sheng Shaoqing was stunned on the spot after hearing this, this little brat was very clever, and he knew that Weifu had made a private visit.

Yuan Che said happily, "Mother, you see that Erchen is smart, and he helped the mother solve a big problem in one fell swoop. Those who despise Erchen, I still look down on them! Hmph!"

Following Yuan Che's heavy "hum", He Yuning's cheeks flushed quickly, and he faltered, "Chen...Actually, I..."

Yuan Che thought that He Yuning was embarrassed by his praise, and said carelessly, "A'Ning, you don't have to be humble, you deserve it!"

However, Sheng Shaoqing saw that there was another reason for He Yuning's shyness. Otherwise, why was Yuan Che not shy when he praised his craftsmanship just now, but said that his cheeks were blushing during Weifu's private visit? I know it's His Majesty..."

Yuan Che's proud expression froze on his face, and it took a long time before he uttered two words, "What?!"

"You...you knew it a long time ago, so... then them?"

He Yuning lowered his head, His Majesty treated him solemnly, and the Empress Dowager also made him treat His Majesty with sincerity. It was too uncomfortable to keep this matter in his heart, and now he felt relieved when he said it. He was just a little worried now...

Will His Majesty believe in himself again in the future?

He Yuning said with a trembling voice, "When His Majesty comes the first day, I will know."

Unconvinced, Yuan Che pouted and said, "How is it possible?! I changed my clothes that day, and I didn't let Supervisor Liu follow me. I also specially found someone to collect a set of baggage. How could you see that?!"

He Yuning smiled bitterly, "You...Although you have changed your clothes, the ones you wear around your waist are all made in the palace. Since His Majesty praised the minister's good craftsmanship, why can't I see the quality of His Majesty's accessories? As for whether others have seen it It can be seen that the minister is not good at lying."

Yuan Che was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, it was a thousand calculations, and he missed an accessory, and tomorrow he must beat Liu Dajian severely to vent his anger!
After a while, he calmed down from his anger. This was originally a whim on his mind, no wonder Supervisor Liu.But he still felt that he had been fooled, so angry!

He also didn't want to see He Yuning again!
"You! Big liar! I... I won't play with you anymore!"

Sheng Shaoqing's sharp eyes cast on Yuan Che, he was indeed a child, and he lost his temper when he disagreed with him.

Yuan Che froze instantly like a broken ball, "Mother, woo woo woo... Erchen... I..."

This world is too evil, where is the most basic trust and sincerity between people?
Sheng Shaoqing originally thought that Yuan Che begged her to let He Yuning stay because the two children met by chance and fell in love with each other, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the middle.

In order to prevent Yuan Che from feeling that this world is not worth it, Sheng Shaoqing asked He Yuning, "Since you know the identity of His Majesty, why didn't you tell him? You are also acting with him, do you have the suspicion of deceiving the emperor?"

He Yuning understood that the Queen Mother asked him to explain, but he really couldn't explain anything, could he say that he thought this was His Majesty's little fun?

He heard rumors that many high-ranking officials and dignitaries like a game called role-playing, just like actors, each has its own role, in it, you can no longer treat it as an ordinary status, otherwise it will destroy the game rule.

Since His Majesty wants to pretend to be a son of an aristocratic family, what else can he say, just play with him, His Majesty is having fun, so there is a way out for him?

"I...I thought that your majesty wanted me to keep it secret, so I kept my mouth shut and treated my majesty as a family member..."

"But I assure you that even if His Majesty is not Your Majesty, even if you are just a trafficker, I will still be your Majesty's friend!"

Yuan Che looked up to the sky and sighed, "What you say now is up to you!"

It's really hard for him to make friends!

Yuan Che walked up to Sheng Shaoqing, took out a chicken leg from his sleeve and handed it to Sheng Shaoqing, "Give it to the queen mother!"

Sheng Shaoqing didn't want to hurt his young heart any more, so she had no choice but to take the chicken leg that didn't belong to her in disgust, and put it on the table.

He Yuning lowered his head in despair. If he had known this, he might as well have told His Majesty that he knew His Majesty's identity, so he wouldn't play any role-playing games!Now it's all right, if you don't steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.

I regret it, I regret it!

Sheng Shaoqing said bitterly, "A-Ning still has a lot of advantages, at least her observation skills are outstanding among these few children."

Yuan Che knew that his mother was choking him, so he silently lowered his head.

"Okay, didn't the queen mother tell you that when you test lies with lies, you can only get lies. Even if He Yuning knows that you are His Majesty, you have already said it yourself. How dare he expose such a big battle like yours? Why are you still blaming him?"

Sheng Shaoqing turned to He Yuning and said, "It's good to be smart, but don't be too smart. Since you have seen His Majesty's intentions, as a companion, you should always remind Your Majesty not to act recklessly. This is a true friend. Do you understand?"

He Yuning nodded dejectedly, and suddenly realized the mystery in the Queen Mother's words, his eyes lit up and he looked up at the Queen Mother, and said in a trembling voice, "Is...Is it okay?"

Sheng Shaoqing nodded, and said to Yuan Che, "Che'er, if you want to test them, you can indeed see whether their character is good or bad, but you have to understand that sometimes your identity doesn't allow you to do whatever you want."

Yuan Che said aggrievedly, "I just don't want a companion who bows to my son and turns his head to rely on the royal power to do his best. Why did the world fall into chaos at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty? There is a lesson from the past, and my son... just ..."

Sheng Shaoqing patted Yuan Che's little head, and asked, "Why do you like He Yuning, is it really because he didn't please you because of your identity?"

Yuan Che tilted his head and said, "It's not entirely because of this. You also know, the queen mother, how skillful his hands are!"

"Also, he can also help the birds in the imperial garden to make nests, and he can also recite so many poems, many of which I can't remember!"

Yuan Che talked about the advantages of others like a torrential river, and he felt ashamed as he talked.

Sheng Shaoqing asked He Yuning again, "Then you and His Majesty are only because of his status as His Majesty?"

He Yuning shook his head resolutely, "Whether your majesty believes it or not, I am definitely not flattering you because of your majesty's status. Your majesty is talented and sincere, and even if your majesty is a gangster, I am willing to make your majesty your best friend." !"

After hearing this, Yuan Che felt a little more at ease, and after a while he hesitated and said, "You... what you said is true?"

He Yuning replied firmly again, "If even half of what I said is true, I will definitely be struck with thunder, and I will die!"

"Hey", Yuan Che hurriedly stopped He Yuning's nonsense, "It's true, it's really necessary to swear such a heavy oath!"

Seeing the signs of reconciliation between the two, Sheng Shaoqing was relieved a little, "Che'er, those who look down on you, just tell the queen mother, and the mother will cross them off the list, so as not to upset you in the future."

Yuan Che said proudly, "Don't worry, Empress Mother, I have my own way!"
