Chapter 64

Ting Lan said: "The daughter-in-law is ignorant and doesn't know what the queen mother intends?"

The queen mother gave her a detailed analysis: "This way, the Ai family is the empress dowager, and through Emperor Xiaozong's edict, she has mastered a part of the power, which has already made the harem very afraid. As the niece of the Ai family, Linglong will become a noble concubine , surpassing the other two side concubines, will inevitably become the target of public criticism."

"Secondly, the Ai family suppressed the emperor with Emperor Xiaozong's edict and refused to allow him to honor his biological mother as the empress dowager. Concubine, I'm afraid he will vent all his dissatisfaction with Ai's family on Linglong, instead of doing that, it's better to follow the emperor's wishes now."

"In the past three years, the harem has always been valued by mothers and sons. Whether it is a queen or a concubine, the status of her own son must be stable. The emperor is afraid of the monopoly of the Ai family. If the Ai family shows excessive importance to Linglong, the emperor will Will be afraid of her, the Ai family can use the edict to restrain the emperor's power, but they can't restrain the emperor's bedtime affairs, if he doesn't perform Zhougong's rituals with Linglong, wouldn't the Ai family's hope of a grandson of the Yu family be completely Frustrated?"

Ting Lan nodded deeply when she heard this: "The queen mother is very thoughtful. This time the conferment of the queen mother is so big. Although the queen mother has the upper hand based on Xiaozong's edict, the emperor is the emperor after all, and it is the hope of all the women in the harem. If we push him too hard, it won't do us any good, and it will cause Linglong to be angered by the emperor."

The queen mother sighed: "The emperor is Linglong's husband's family, and Ai's family is Linglong's natal family. When a girl gets married, if she is ignorant towards her husband's family, her natal family will definitely be dissatisfied. On the contrary, if she is ignorant towards her natal family, her husband's family will inevitably hate her. It is really difficult to strike a balance between the husband's family and the mother's family."

"Instead of asking Concubine Feng to make the emperor dissatisfied and the women in the harem to hate her, it's better to take a step back and let her be the same concubine as Concubine Hui and Concubine Rou, so that she will not become a target of public criticism."

"What's more, although Linglong claims to be a concubine, but with the Empress Dowager of the Ai family and you as the backing behind her, who would dare to bully her?"

Ting Lan said: "Empress Shengming, Feng Guifei and Fengfei don't mean much to her, it's better to be safe."

The Empress Dowager said again: "Originally, the emperor's title for Linglong was Concubine Li. The Ai family thought the word 'Li' was too vulgar, so they changed it to the word 'Li'. The implication is that having this word as a title not only improves her status in a disguised form, but also slaps the queen in the face, killing two birds with one stone."

Ting Lan said: "The queen mother is really far-sighted, my daughter-in-law admires it!"

The Empress Dowager smiled wryly and said: "What is farsightedness? It's just that after living in the harem for a long time, people have become more and more calculating."

The next day, the queen led all the concubines to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects.

Although the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, the patriarchal law and filial piety are the dual constraints, the emperor cannot be unfilial to the queen mother, and the emperor's wives and concubines naturally have to be filial to the queen mother.

After a period of deep sorrow, the queen mother has gradually walked out of the haze of losing the late emperor, and she has become cheerful.

The Empress Dowager was dressed in a luxurious purple and black brocade robe inlaid with gold trim, sitting on the Nine Lotus Red Sandalwood Phoenix Seat in the center of the main hall.

Ting Lan sat beside her in a Ruyi satin embroidered multicolored auspicious cloud and phoenix gown, chatting and laughing with her about homework.
