Chapter 57 The Queen Mother
When the dining table was set up at a young age, the queen held the chopsticks in person, held the plate with her left hand, walked around the dining table on the ground, and picked up the dishes for the queen mother with the eyes of the queen mother.

The breakfast for the Empress Dowager usually has soft and glutinous porridge and pastry, and the Empress Dowager also likes to eat these.The queen turned to the pastry, and saw the pastry with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar and new chestnut noodles at a glance.

She hesitated for a while, and the gold-inlaid silver chopsticks brushed past the pastry, but did not pass it into the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager has a shallow appetite, and she has already used it up in a short time.The queen mother smiled with satisfaction: "There is no need to take it down, the queen can just sit down and use it."

Only then did the queen put down the chopsticks, and knelt down to thank her: "My son, I thank the emperor's mother for the reward."
.
Usually, if the queen mother asked the queen to stay for dinner, in order not to make the queen restrained, the queen mother would usually hide in another room.But today, the Queen Mother sat still.

Her Majesty asked for a hookah.The exquisite pure gold hookah inlaid with eight treasures is held in the palm of the hand, and the cigarette holder is full of emeralds. The gold and emerald complement each other, which is particularly vivid and beautiful.

The empress knew the empress dowager's temper, so if she used a jade cigarette holder, the water in the pipe must be soaked from mint and licorice leaves, which can clear away heat and reduce irritation.

The queen mother took a breath slowly: "You use yours, we two are talking here."

After the Empress Dowager said so, An Shou, the old maid beside the Empress Dowager, finished lighting her cigarettes, and blessed the Empress with a smile, and walked out, closing the door behind her.

The queen knew that the queen mother had something important to say, so naturally she lost her appetite for meals.

"My son listened to the teachings of the emperor's mother."

The Empress Dowager took another puff of cigarette before saying, "I heard that this time the Ministry of Internal Affairs drafted a lot of noise."

The queen hurriedly got up: "This time, the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be able to support the overall situation alone, so it will be hard to catch. It seems that the emperor's mother and the emperor are in the same town..."

The queen mother also smiled: "You don't have to be so self-effacing. I was thinking that this time is just a draft for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's nothing important, so I won't go. The emperor is also involved in state affairs, so it's okay not to go."

The queen smiled softly and replied: "It's really not a big deal, it's just that a beautiful girl tripped over the threshold of the Shunzhen Gate..."

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes lightly: "That's true. Those children waited outside the Shenwu Gate in the middle of the night, and only entered the Shunzhen Gate at dawn to take a look. They were empty stomachs and tied their hands and feet, and the threshold of the Shunzhen Gate was so high. "

The queen's heart skipped a beat: "Then the empress mother said...?"

The Empress Dowager put down her cigarette pouch and raised her eyes: "I'm talking about that Hannv."
.
The Queen's heart twitched again, and she leaned over quickly: "It's all because of the unfilial sons and ministers, and they didn't tell the Queen Mother in advance."

The queen shook her head: "My son, you don't have to worry about everything for the emperor! You are a virtuous woman, I know it all, but how could this matter be arranged by you, it is all in the emperor's own mind."

The queen could only squat on the ground, not daring to answer casually.

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply: "I also miss my grandson Yong Lian who left early... If he is still here, the emperor will have a successor, so I won't bother to ask about the emperor's harem. I want some Han girls , it’s all up to the emperor, don’t I want to make my son happy as a mother-in-law?”

"Besides, is it a rare thing to have Han women in the harem? There are in the palace of Lord Kangxi, and there are also in the palace of the first emperor; isn't the pure concubine the first emperor who pointed out that he entered the emperor's hidden residence? It's no big deal."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, her eyes turned suddenly: "But now, Yong Lian is no longer here, so all the circumstances have to be considered separately."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief.

The Empress Dowager said: "Now the emperor has three elder brothers. The eldest elder brother Yonghuang's concubine Zhe Erniang is of low status. Yongxuan was born by a concubine... Although the elder brother is from Manchuria Gege, but Er Niang is no longer there, if the son is more expensive than the mother, how can he be the opponent of the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother."

"But one of the two biological mothers was originally a Han woman, and the other was a coat from Gao Lizuo. Do you think they can inherit the throne?"

The queen was startled.

"The emperor doesn't want to think about the emperor's heir, so why not invite a Han girl in, what is he trying to do?!" At the end of the morning, the Empress Dowager's face was gloomy.
