Chapter 258 How to Be a Good Queen
The Empress Dowager said: "Linglong, today is your concubine's congratulations. Everyone is vying to curry favor with you and say auspicious words to you, but Aijia wants to say two unfavorable words to you. Do you know why?"

Linglong frowned, and quickly understood: "I said unlucky words today, because I don't want to have unlucky days in the future. After all, from now on, my concubine is already the emperor's queen."

The queen mother nodded, and said quietly: "That's right, the ugly words are up front, so that you won't be embarrassed in the future, Linglong, you are already a queen now, do you know how to be a good queen? How to get from the queen to the queen mother?" "

Linglong understood that the Empress Dowager was passing on her experience of becoming a champion in palace fighting, so she hurriedly said, "This concubine has only a half-knowledge, so please ask the Empress Dowager to teach me?"

The queen mother looked at Linglong and said carefully: "It is also a 'queen'. The status of the queen and the queen mother is completely different. The queen is the emperor's wife, and the queen mother is the emperor's mother. The wife can be dismissed or divorced, but the mother must be filial. The fundamental reason why the empress dowagers of all dynasties can die well is that a "filial piety" is enough to keep the empress dowagers standing forever."

"But the empress is different. As the emperor's wife, as the harem woman's most scheming object, a woman in the empress position is often precarious. She loses her position, dignity, power, and finally dies in a miserable state. If you want to avoid being To abolish the tragic fate of not being able to die well, one must understand the essence of the queen."

"The empress is not only the emperor's wife, but also the master of the harem. The so-called master of the harem is the housekeeper. Since you are the housekeeper, you have to use your abilities as a housekeeper to manage the harem well and balance the harem so that the emperor doesn't worry about it. Let the emperor think you are a qualified empress, and the second is to balance the harem, but management is easy to balance and difficult to balance, do you know how to balance it?"

Linglong seemed to understand, and said: "The concubine has a little understanding of the way of balance, but it is not thorough enough. My aunt walked all the way from the empress to the position of the empress dowager. She must know the trick very well. I also ask the empress to teach me."

The queen mother looked at the floating gold outside the palace, and said slowly: "The emperor has 72 concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, and there is a draft every three years as a supplement, so the women in the palace are like endless flowers in the imperial garden. In a wave, there are still newcomers pouring in."

"At that time, Aijia, as a queen, as a wife, and as a woman, was also jealous and jealous. He fought one woman after another, eliminated new favorites one after another, and even quietly killed the concubine's belly. It's an evil child, but after a long time, the Ai family discovered that if they tried their best to get rid of one, it would only make the other woman the emperor's new favorite."

"Gradually, the Aijia realized that emperors are all amorous people, and there are very few infatuated ones. To deal with this kind of amorous person, we must enrich the harem for him. The more women in the palace, the more difficult it is to compete for favor. The more powerful he is, the more he can't handle it. If everyone competes for favor, there will be no special favor, no concubine favorite, and no one will be able to shake the queen's position."

"Therefore, the secret to balancing the harem is also the word 'many'. As a queen, if you can increase the number of concubines and allow them to bloom and compete for splendor, there will not be a favorite concubine who stands alone and monopolizes the favor. I like that only one canopy of flowers in the palace is in full bloom, and a hundred flowers are in full bloom, which is the real spring scenery."
