The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 239 Wisdom of the Empress Dowager

While Minzhi was teaching the mother how to knit and chatting with the Queen Mother, Kangxi arrived.Minzhi retreated to her own room with the child. Kangxi came today without a bunch of radish heads, obviously it was not the time to pay a respectful greeting.After the two chatted for a long time, the Queen Mother called Minzhi out, and at this time, Kangxi had already left.

The old lady changed her usual kind appearance, and frowned slightly: "Caixuan, the emperor came over just now and said something to Ai's family. This year is a general election year, you know." Minzhi was taken aback, then blinked. Only then did she remember: "My daughter-in-law knows that at the beginning of the year, Er Niang mentioned that it was..." Minzhi paused on purpose.The queen mother beckoned her to sit beside her: "Caixuan, your mother-in-law is soft-tempered. It's rare that she cares more about your affairs than her son's."

Minzhi blushed a little: "The emperor Mama was joking." The queen mother said seriously: "The Ai family did not joke, since the Wei family has already told you, the Ai family will not beat around the bush. The emperor came just now to report his worries. , the two little elder brothers who were just born in the fourth brother’s family lost one, just yesterday.” Minzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: “The grandson’s daughter-in-law has been at home for a long time, and she forgot that the three sister-in-laws of the fourth brother’s family have already given birth. It's..."

Counting the days, it has only been a few months since he was born, why did he die, but he didn't know whose son it was?In history, the New Cobalt family, according to Baidu, started from Gege.Before Yinzhen became emperor, she had never been promoted to the throne.But Minzhi clearly remembered that when Niu Gulu's family entered the door, it was Side Fujin who was carried into the original Sibeile Mansion through the side door in pink clothes and a sedan chair. Her child, Sifujin didn't have the guts to move, did he?

In other words, three of them were pregnant, and two of them had sons. If Si Fujin wanted to adopt him, he would definitely choose the one with a lower status. The dead one might also be the child of the New Colu family. Now Minzhi is eager to know who is alive. Is the child Hongli, so he tentatively said: "Little elder brother, I am pitiful, our family Yan'er was born weak, but fortunately Huang Ama gave him a name when he was born, and he was blessed. Now A day is better than a day. But I don’t know if Huang Ama has given another little elder brother a name?"

The queen mother frowned: "The emperor mentioned it just now, and asked Ai's family for their opinions. Ai's family didn't know much about Chinese characters, so they didn't give any advice." Minzhi was silent. Is this child Hongli?Of Yinzhen's few children, only Gege who is about to leave the court, Hongshi, and a boy and a girl are left now.Minzhi thought of two men and two women in other people's family, but three men and one woman in her own home, and inexplicably thought about Han Yue, how wonderful it would be if she was alive.

Seeing that her expression was gloomy, the queen mother knew that she was soft-hearted. When she heard that the child was dead, she thought of her daughter again, took her hand and patted it: "Everything is destiny." After a pause, she said: "Hey, Let’s get far, let’s talk about the draft this time, this time the children’s appearance and personality are better than those of previous years, the emperor’s intention is to leave one for Yinhu.”

She knew that was the case. She had talked so much about the children of the Sifujin family before, but in the end she had to come around to this. She pursed her lips. She didn't know the seat and expression. She can still smile "tenderly", and say in cooperation: "Thank you for your kindness, Mama Mama, thank you for your kindness." But now, what should she do?
What would happen to the Guo Luoluo family in history when this happened?The queen mother personally mentioned it to her, does she dare to refuse it forcefully?Minzhi smiled wryly, she definitely didn't dare.When she got here, she felt how powerful the oppression from the superiors from Kangxi was. How did the Guo Luoluo family keep only two named concubines in the family?She and Yinhu were married in 38 years. Could it be that the old man didn't have any people in the subsequent elections?It took a full ten years until Hongwang was born in 47.

In Minzhi's view, this is completely absurd. After three general elections in ten years, the old man always thought that his son had not been careful in his marriage for such a long time, so he should give him a marriage or something.Even if the wife doesn't allow concubines, the old man can always get a paratrooper, right?How could he tolerate a woman dominating her husband for ten years?There is only one possibility, that is, after Kangxi married Guo Luoluo, he changed his target to favor Yinxiang, completely ignoring the existence of Yinhu.I don't care about him at all, that's why this happens.

Just imagine, if Kangxi intervened in advance, Guo Luoluo would never have the courage to turn against Kangxi. The later Mao and Zhang are good examples.Thinking of this, Minzhi sighed, the old man's taste is weird, he likes underage children, first Yinhu, then Yinxiang, Yinxiang grew up and got married, the old man took aim at Yinjin again, and in the end he fell in love with Yinxiang. Jin killed it directly.

Fortunately, now Yinzhen has been moved by her golden finger, and she has grown up safely.Avoiding a disaster, and having three sons by his side, Yinhu will not be criticized for having no heirs, but even so, he can't resist Kangxi's paratroopers!The old man's attention to his family has always caught people off guard. If Tong Fangfujin himself was somewhat prepared before, then what the queen mother said now is completely in the cloud.

"Caixuan, tell Huang Mamo honestly, did that Tong Jia family do something out of the ordinary?" Min Zhi lowered her eyes. Where did the old lady ask Tong family? Shi has done extraordinary things.Did she do anything to her?No way: "Returning to Huang Mama, Tong's family was very good when she first came. She looks good, has a good temperament, and is talented. Our master also spoiled me for a while, and later when I was pregnant with Yan'er, I think our master is still moved by her."

"And what happened next?" asked the Queen Mother.

"When I was pregnant with Hongyan, she was diagnosed with a weak disease. Our master specially invited the wife of Tong's family to visit her and invited her to be a doctor. It turned out that it was a physical problem, so our master was relieved. But later I don't know what happened, Hongyan fell into a coma for two days after I gave birth, and only after waking up did I realize that our master had treated her coldly, until now, I don't know what happened."

After hearing this, the queen mother sighed softly: "In this way, Tong Shi, Yinhu doesn't like it anymore, even if this is the case, you can't let him be like this, the ancestor's rules are there."

"What the emperor Mama said is that the granddaughter-in-law has neglected her duties and failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife." The old lady sighed: "If you had used your brain earlier, the emperor would not have sent people to the Prince's Mansion of Lian County at this time. Already!" Minzhi jumped, what time?When are the Cypriots still pinching?What time is this?Yinhu became a fake fourth master party, helping Yinzhen and his younger brother fight in the ring.

Is this a good time?Minzhi didn't understand at all, but she heard the empress dowager's tone of reproach.She had no choice but to bow her head as if she was wronged.The old lady didn't pursue it anymore, but said to her earnestly, Aijia doesn't know what happened to your family, and I don't want to know. Aijia just wants to tell you that as a first wife, in many cases, you can't go by your feelings or interests. When doing things, you must use your heart, measure with your heart, measure gains and losses, weigh pros and cons, and even measure the care you give.Have a ruler in your heart, no matter what you do, you must measure it in advance, and don't let any kind of emotion become a burden! "

After listening to this passage, Minzhi was very moved. She could finally confirm that the reason why the queen mother sent the nuns beside Aunt Su Ma to her house and let her stay in the Buddhist hall for such a long time was because of the incident just now. In other words, the highest standard for a royal daughter-in-law is to control. Before controlling others, one must first learn to control oneself.And to control the highest state of oneself, not only must there be a limit to advance and retreat, but also a limit to emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. After this limit, it is not to express emotions, but to increase the burden.

"Thank you Mama Mama for your guidance, I understand!" Minzhi called "I" for the first time in front of the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother doesn't mind either, just by looking at her expression, I know that my words have worked, or else this girl is smart, spiritual, and I like it, you see, it's not obvious at all!Now that she has figured it out, let her explain it to her.

"Caixuan, I would like to know whose family the emperor left for Yinhu, is it a girl?" the queen mother said in a deceptively real way.Minzhi knew that the queen mother wanted to spoil the story.Immediately shaking her head: "Huang Mama, the person Huang Ama chooses is naturally a good one. It doesn't matter about her wealth or background. The important thing is that she treats him wholeheartedly."

"Stupid child, the only one who will be devoted to her husband is the wife." The queen mother sighed, "Other people who serve a husband are just bargaining chips in the hands of the regular wife. Why do you think the ancestors ruled that the emperor turned over the sign every day to write in In the daily record, do you want the official seal to be used? Those who can't see through will never be able to see through..."

Minzhi was dumbfounded, what did the queen mother say?Queen's rules of survival?This is too profound!The bargaining chip under the hands of the main wife?Flipping cards, daily life records... She said that these are just floating clouds and she doesn't understand at all.

"Emperor Mama, daughter-in-law... stupid..." Minzhi stuttered.The queen mother smiled gently: "Caixuan, you are not stupid... Hey... Since you are not interested in their wealth, Aijia will not talk too much. You will find out in a few days, so don't give them any hugs." If you have extravagant expectations, don’t measure whether others get or give equally, that’s fruitless.”

"Granddaughter-in-law understands, and she will follow Mama Mama's instruction." Minzhi respectfully kowtowed to the old lady.The queen mother was very pleased: "You are soft-hearted and filial, but in the past, all your attention was only on the people around you. From this moment on, you have to look farther away. Because your attention Too much, for them, may also be a scourge."

Minzhi nodded, the queen mother was right, she used to be messed up, and the problem was "too much care". Sure enough, there are limits to everything.The old queen has been in the palace for many years, it is really a story from experience!
