The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 293 Succession (Part [-])

On the next day, the new empress first entered the Palace of Mercy and Benevolence to greet the Empress Dowager An Xie En, and then entered the Palace of Compassion and Ning to invite the Empress Dowager An Xie En.

Empress Dowager Renxian was resentful that the new queen was not a Mongolian concubine, she didn't look good when she saw Yide, and she just waited for the courtesy to tell her that she was upset and ordered her to step down.

For example, in the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager was letting Aunt Su Ma put on makeup for her eyebrows. When she saw Yide coming, she said with a faint 'huh' smile: "I came so early, I'm afraid it's at the Queen Mother's place." Have you been shut down?"

Yide smiled slightly, then knelt down and kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times. After the ceremony, he said: "My son, Niuhulu, has been taken care of by the Empress Dowager for many years. He is in the middle palace. I am very grateful. I am here to say good morning to the Empress Dowager." .May the queen mother be blessed and live a thousand years."

It was a bit of a mouthful to say this, but no matter how awkward it was, it meant that her identity was different from before.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and ordered Aunt Su Ma to step back, then sat in front of the dressing table and took a look at Yide: "Get up and serve Ai's hair."

Yide took the jasmine hair oil that the Empress Dowager was used to on a daily basis, soaked it with a comb, and slowly combed it on the Empress Dowager's forehead hair.

The hair was hidden all over the black hair, and Yide carefully hid the hair at the bottom, but the Empress Dowager laughed: "What is there to hide? If there is something, there is nothing, and if no one knows it, you can still hide it." go alone?"

Yide respectfully nodded: "The emperor's grandmother taught me that."

The Empress Dowager slowly put on the green jade armor, and said calmly and leisurely: "It's just gossip, how can the Ai family teach you a lesson."

Yide smiled, and said in silence for a moment: "I still need to thank the emperor's grandmother for speaking to the emperor on my behalf."

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly: "You know?"

"The emperor's grandmother and the emperor have the same heart and mind, and the sons and ministers are one with the emperor, so they naturally know."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her and said calmly: "Although you are not the one who mourns the family, you are the most suitable person to be a queen today. Just like the empress Renxiao in the past, your fate should be yours, and it will be yours after all. What about others?" I can't take it away either. Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, you are the first queen of the Niuhulu family. Although you are glorious, you got it when your mother's family was in decline. It's a pity."

Yide shook his head slowly: "Now that I have no family background, I have the best family background. If it weren't for the wind of the previous dynasty blowing to the Tong family, how could I get the position of queen now?"

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, her eyes were full of disdain: "It is often said that the monkeys are scattered when the tree falls, but the emaciated camel is always bigger than the horse. No matter how bad the Niu Hulu family is, there will always be old people in the previous dynasty. Even The wind blows heavily in the previous dynasty when the Tong family was appointed as the queen, but it is strange that no one speaks for you. Do you think the Ai family does not know your thoughts? The more people recommend the Tong family, the better your chances of winning. The emperor went through the turmoil of the previous dynasty. He saw how domineering and authoritarian Oboi was. In the past, the Ai family chose Shuyu as the heir to check and balance the Guerjia clan. Now the emperor chooses you as the heir to check and balance the Tong family. You Sending a message to your uncle in private, asking him to encourage the courtiers to recommend Tong as queen, do you really think you can hide these thoughts from the Ai family?"

Yide suddenly knelt down, bowed down and said in a deep voice: "I know that I can't hide it from the emperor's grandmother, so from the beginning, I never thought of hiding it from you."

"The tricks you're playing now, Aijia got bored early in the morning. Aijia doesn't blame you for scheming. In this deep palace, how can a person who has no heart to protect himself?" The Empress Dowager looked straight at Looking at Yide, he said leisurely: "Get up, now that you have become a queen, you have fulfilled your vision for many years. In the future, if you look after the harem for the emperor and the Ai family, it means that the Ai family has not chosen the wrong person."

Hearing this, Yide couldn't help being a little surprised.

I thought the empress dowager would reprimand me, but I didn't expect her to forgive me so lightly for plotting against her and the emperor?
In fact, ever since the emperor wanted to become a queen, Yi De did not fight or grab on the surface, but secretly he never stopped.

In private, he ordered Niu Hulu's former survivors to give a lot of money as a gift, so as to win over officials and make Rongyue his queen.

What's more, Arjun spread the story of the previous court to the Six Palaces, so that everyone would spread it like this, and Rong Yue's chances of winning the posthumous event were even higher than her.

Even if the concubine of Lianhe Palace moved to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects to Rong Yue, it was also in her calculation early in the morning.

It's just because in the past because of her status as Aobai's adopted daughter, she missed her post.At that time, she knew very well that to be a queen was never because of the glory of her mother's family, or because of the emperor's favor.

This latter position must fall on someone who can stabilize the previous dynasty and make the emperor feel at ease.

In the past, that person was not her, but now, that person can only be her.

Since Empress Renxiao passed away, when the emperor wanted to make Yinreng the crown prince, Yide knew that if he wanted to be the successor, he would have to fail.Otherwise, the coexistence of the crown prince and the legitimate son will always embarrass the emperor.

Left and right my own fortune is poor, and I haven't had a son and a half in all these years.Therefore, the only chance for her to have a son is to raise the heir of a low-ranking concubine.

If someone else's child is taken over for him to raise, in the end he will get a cheap son. If his biological mother survives after he grows up, how will he remember his own kindness?
It's better to pretend that you don't like children, so that even if the prince reaches the age of one and should choose a new mother, she will be the first one rejected by the emperor.

In fact, ever since Yinti was raised under Rong Yue's lap, Yide knew that his chances of winning were geometric.

It wasn't until later, when Concubine Rong Ma Jiaxiuyan was unable to give birth to an heir to Rongyue because of the 'Kezi', that her mind was completely settled.

The long silence in the hall was broken by Yide's question: "Your minister made a wrong idea, why doesn't the imperial grandmother blame you?"

The Empress Dowager smiled indifferently, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are plotting against the Ai family, and the emperor, and the Ai family should blame you. But you know, what is the most pitiful thing about this harem woman?"

Yide hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said nothing, then the Empress Dowager said: "It's just that I have calculated all my life, thinking that I am the mantis catching cicadas, and I have been complacent for half my life. The beak aimed at himself. After calculating to the end, he thought that he was the one who made the layout, but he didn't think that he had already become a pawn in the game." The empress dowager paused for a moment, and looked at Yide with a calm smile: "Such a poor person, How can the Ai family have the heart to blame?"

Yide was puzzled by the profound meaning in the empress dowager's words. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "My son is stupid, I don't know what the emperor's grandmother said."

"It's rare to be confused. If you see everything clearly, you will not live happily." The empress dowager lazily stood up, and her old palm covered with veins rested on Yide's shoulder: "Now that you have what you want, Just take it well. The emperor has never been a cold person. Even if he is cold, he always wants to show face to his people from all generations. Just look at the example of Empress Renxiao, and you will know a thing or two. But be a good wife , you have to be tolerant, Aijia has watched you grow up all the way, you are too stubborn, if you can't erase the edges and corners, you will only be the one who stabs you in the end."
