(Mu Yan's cutie wants to add more O(∩_∩)O)

The benzoin burning in the incense burner in the hall gradually gave off lavender smoke, lingering on the bed curtains as if gelled on them, soft and lingering, and lingering for a long time.

The queen lowered her head, only to see that the blushes on the bright yellow flat gold and silver embroidered double-happiness pattern cotton cloak she was wearing were extraordinarily abrupt, shining so brightly that her eyes were sour: "Returning to the words of the emperor's grandmother, my son-in-law!" Didn't do those dirty things."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes slightly, sniffing the sweet smell of benzoin in the hall.Her face is serene without any hint of anger or anger, as if she is a big gilded Buddha enshrined in Anhua Temple, which is both admirable and intimidating.

After a long time, she said: "If you don't do it, someone else will do it. If you say that all these things are natural disasters, Aijia especially doesn't believe it. If someone else did this, you can't find it. You are incompetent as a queen. If you find out and don’t deal with it strictly, and let her run amok, it is also your dereliction of duty as a queen.”

The empress dowager slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the queen, her complexion was as frosty as ice: "How much do you know about Concubine Hui, the Ai family knows how many things she doesn't have to do but is thoughtless It’s done, the Ai family understands the reason for this, but because she is a woman selected by the Ai family from Mongolia, the Ai family’s face will be shamed when this incident occurs, so they can only turn a deaf ear and ignore it.”

The queen trembled slightly, and immediately knelt down and bowed to the queen mother: "My minister made a mistake for a while, but it was also because of Oboi's power in the previous court at that time, the Niu Hulu sisters in the harem had to guard against it. For my son's sake, Your majesty, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, this is the only way. As for the matter of the emperor's heir, I have never done anything!"

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There are so many people in the palace. When they saw the Ai family, they either called themselves slaves, servants, or servants, but you are different from others. You are the queen of the Qing Dynasty. The phrase "children" in your mouth is the same address as the empress dowager, the emperor, and the Ai family. You and the Ai family should be the same as this address. Naturally, it is also different from others.”

Because of the wind in her head, the Empress Dowager's voice was very soft, but at this moment it pierced the Queen's heart like a cotton needle: "The Ai family knows, you actually feel very sorry for the Ai family in your heart, right?"

The queen frowned slightly, and repeatedly denied the words, but the empress dowager ignored her, and said to herself: "Since Emperor Taizong's time, the position of the middle palace has been chosen from the Borzigit clan of the mother family of the Ai family. In the reign of the first emperor, whether it was Meng Guqing, the abolished empress, or the current Empress Dowager Renxian, they were all daughters of the Borzigit family. If the emperor ascended the throne, if the situation in the previous dynasty did not change, the latter would be It will fall on the head of Concubine Hui. Because of the power of the Hesheli family in the previous dynasty, you have been supported by the Ai family to become a queen. Instigated to do so many things that you don't want to do, how can you not resent Aijia in your heart?"

The empress dowager said, sighing deeply: "The Ai family knows that things are going smoothly in the previous court. Although you are happy for the emperor, you are also worried about your own future, right? The late emperor can abolish Borzigit Meng Gu Qing, the emperor can also abolish you, Hesheli Shulong, if there is an Ai family, as long as the Ai family wants to preserve the glory of the Borzigit family, you will not be able to rest for a day. So when you entered the house just now, Although seeing Aijia's painful appearance is also anxious, but in my heart, I am afraid that I wish Aijia could go to Huangquan earlier, right?"

Hearing what the empress dowager said, the empress felt a chill down her back, and drops of cold sweat were forced out from the pores, almost soaking through her clothes.

She hurriedly bent down and kowtowed repeatedly, and replied with a trembling voice: "The emperor's grandmother has learned from you, my son and minister will never have such crazy thoughts!"

She buried her head extremely low, her eyes were closed tightly, her ears seemed to be plugged, and she couldn't hear the slightest sound.

After a while, a red shadow flashed in front of her, and then a force as light as a butterfly fell on her shoulders. She raised her head and saw that the Empress Dowager was on the couch, trembling, trying to lift her up. : "You get up, think or not, Aijia never blamed you."

The Empress stood up with the support of the Empress Dowager, and then waited for the Empress Dowager to sit down again, and said respectfully: "Grandmother, since I am in the middle palace, the only thing on my mind is how to manage the affairs of the sixth palace for the emperor. Open branches and leaves for the Qing Dynasty, I can't think about other things, and I don't want to think about them."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and a gleam of starlight flashed in her eyes: "There is no one else today, and Aijia never meant to blame you for saying this to you. First, I want to remind you, and second, I also want to tell you Voice, sorry."

The empress dowager's tone was sincere and firm, which made the empress confused for a while.Right now, her head was drenched in sweat, and she was terrified and sweating, unable to speak.

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Over the years, you, the empress, have done a good job. You Ama made a lot of efforts to put down Oboi in the previous dynasty. For the sake of the emperor, your credit is indispensable here."

She handed the string of beeswax eighteen-child bracelets to the Queen's hand, and said with a smile: "This bracelet is the only one in Ai's family, and I will give it to you now. Just remember, Aixinjue Luo Xuanye's Empress, from now on there will only be you alone, you can rest assured."

This sentence, you can rest assured, is what the queen has been looking forward to for a long time.Her hanging heart finally let go at this moment.

The empress dowager expressed all the worries in her heart, but now that the matter is open, it is not as terrible as I thought before.

Looking at the woman in the deep palace who was over sixty years old in front of her, she felt admiration and yearning in her heart.

She has been ups and downs in this palace for decades, how wise and shrewd she is.

And the current self, at a very good age and with a noble status, if she reaches her age, she can live safely in the palace and enjoy unlimited luxury to spend her old age. For her, it will be an excellent ending, right?

If this is the case, why does she still need to compete for favor with the Niu Hulu sisters, and why does she need to be afraid of the heirs born by others?

Thinking of this, the queen unconsciously showed a bright smile.

On this day, the queen's heart knot was cleared up, and she chatted with the empress dowager for a long time.For the first time, she felt that she could get along harmoniously with the Empress Dowager just like the grandparents of ordinary people after letting go of the big rock that was squeezing her heart.

When it was time for dinner, the queen personally cooked some delicious dishes to share with the empress dowager, and ordered Qingyue to go to Kunning Palace to hug Chenghu to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

Cheng Hu's child has a unique intelligence, but at the age of two years, he can already speak a lot of words and sentences.

When he saw the Empress Dowager, he babbled: "Grandson Chenghu, to the ancestors, please be well."

The Empress Dowager was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear. Seeing that the master was happy, Aunt Su Ma added to the side and said: "My brother is smart, and there is an extravagant aura between his brows. He must be a very lucky person!"

The queen smiled contentedly, lovingly caressing Cheng Hu's delicate cheeks.

Yes, the eldest son of the Qing Dynasty has such a noble status.

His blessing must be endless and endless.
