Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 42

"Follow what the queen mother wants!" Tan Wenhao nodded in agreement.

"Mother..." Du Xiaoyue got up and blessed her, and wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by another voice.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Queen, Wang Fulai from Xingyun Pavilion, when Concubine Tong Gui woke up early today, she retched and retched. I invited the imperial doctor to check and found out that Concubine Tong Gui is happy." Eunuch Liu entered the back room, bowed and said with.

"Oh?! Really?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows lightly, but asked with a smile, "Did the imperial doctor say how many months?"

"It's been two months since I returned to the Queen Mother."

"Two months?" The Queen Mother repeated softly, then turned her head and smiled at Tan Wenhao, "Concubine Li Gui has also been two months old, what a double happiness!"

Ha ha, this empress dowager is really interesting, can her words be interpreted as: Your son, you are really good, those concubines are not pregnant, one is two!Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, and quickly took a sip of the tea beside her.

"Mother, the palace will be more lively in the future." Tan Wenhao also took the words, "Isn't the mother eager for grandson? Now that Li and Tong have two noble concubines, the mother's wish for many years has finally been fulfilled. .”

Well, according to modern people, this can be understood as: You have been urging me to have a son soon, and now I have two sons. I have completed the task you entrusted to me. Hurry up again, otherwise these two children will be handed over to you to raise!
"But the Ai family still hopes that the successor of the Datong will come from the main palace in the future - this is also the ancestral system of the past generations." The queen mother said unhurriedly. main palace.Even if the East Palace does not come from the main palace, when the crown prince is established, his mother will definitely be named the main palace. "Huanger, you also know what Aijia means! You see, Xiaoyue is also nodding her head in agreement!"

"Ah!?" Du Xiaoyue was thinking about talking to the queen mother again, but she didn't want her old man to talk about herself, so she quickly put down the teacup and smiled slightly, "The queen mother said it! The things left by the ancestors , naturally has its usefulness. However, the rules are dead and people are alive, so they can naturally deal with it randomly. When the emperor thinks..." When Du Xiaoyue said this, she suddenly stopped. The agreement between Hao and Hao, so there are some things that cannot be said.

Tan Wenhao naturally understood what Du Xiaoyue meant: she wanted to express that she could give up the queen's position at any time, and she was very happy. "What do you want to wait for me?" Even if you know what she wants to say, you still have to ask knowingly. Anyway, she dare not say it in front of the Queen Mother, otherwise she won't be able to say half of it. Now, I want to see how she is in front of the Queen Mother. What kind of words are there.

"When the emperor is happy, come and discuss with the concubine what the queen mother said. The concubine is waiting for the emperor at any time!" Du Xiaoyue almost gritted her teeth and said it. You know, she didn't sleep well for two nights in a row. It was because of Tan Wenhao's "kindness" warning before leaving that night!
"Hehe, good, good, good!" The queen mother said with a smile when she heard it.

Tan Wenhao also laughed, but stood up slowly, and first bowed to the queen mother: "Mother, my son has gone to Xingyun Pavilion first." At the same time, he also walked in front of Du Xiaoyue, Du Xiaoyue quickly stood up, smiled at Talk about Wenhao.

"Queen, I am very happy today. In the evening, I can discuss any issues with the queen!" Tan Wenhao leaned closer to Du Xiaoyue's ear, and said in a low voice, but enough for a third person to hear.

"Okay!" Du Xiaoyue replied calmly, but the base of her ears still turned red in disobedience. A light air flow penetrated into her ears, and a faint musk intruded into her nose. She was not used to being in such close contact with him. "The concubine welcomes the holy frame!" Hmph, don't think that your ears are red because you are afraid of you!
"So cute!" Tan Wenhao chuckled, reaching out to pat Du Xiaoyue's shoulder.

He...he is like a cat or a dog!Also pat the shoulder!Du Xiaoyue wanted to sideways dodge the 'Dragon Claw', but the Queen Mother was watching with a funny face, so she endured it.

"Okay! You two...do you want to make the old man Aijia jealous!" The queen mother said with a smile, "Huanger, you go to Xingyun Pavilion first, Aijia and the queen will arrive later."

After seeing off Tan Wenhao, Du Xiaoyue sat comfortably on the chair again.Just now, Du Xiaoyue heard from the Queen Mother that she wanted to hand over the real power of the harem to herself. She must have some intentions in making such a sudden decision, and now, she must say something to show her intentions.

"Xiaoyue, there are no outsiders now, so the Ai family will make it clear." When the queen mother signaled that Ruan Si also retreated, and only Du Xiaoyue and herself were left in the room, the queen mother straightened her body, and said very formally, with eyes in her eyes. Unspeakably shrewd.

"Mother, please speak." Du Xiaoyue also straightened up.

"You have been in the palace for nearly four months now!" The queen mother said slowly, "What do you think of the land of the palace in the past three months?"

"After returning to my mother, the queen mother has managed the harem very well, and the concubines have no opinion." I don't know what the queen mother will sing, and a conservative answer is the safest.

The Empress Dowager stared at Du Xiaoyue closely, and after a while she smiled and said: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial palace, but in the battle between dragons and tigers, few people can really protect themselves."

"What the queen mother said is true." Du Xiaoyue followed the scene without expressing her opinion.

"Thus, it is difficult for those who show their sharpness to survive in the palace; those who play tricks secretly are always worried that one day they will be tricked by others; Misunderstood by cleverness." The Empress Dowager's tone remained the same, but from the outside, it seemed a little bit of a commonplace, but Du Xiaoyue knew very well that every word the Empress Dowager said at this moment would not be nonsense.

"However, you are a very smart child that the Ai family has ever seen. You know these truths very well. You usually keep a low profile and don't compete with others. In reality, you can see through it better than anyone else, right?! Everyone in the harem You can not offend both sides of the disputes and disputes—for this, the Ai family has to admire your intelligence."

Uh... this is called sloppy, falling on both sides, as long as you are not a fool, ordinary people can do it!Du Xiaoyue sighed bitterly in her heart, the queen mother is the queen mother, how could she observe the small details and see through her true nature in daily contact? !
"You know that you are a member of the Du family, and you understand what kind of status you are to the royal family. Therefore, you never ask for the real power of the empress, nor do you ask for the emperor's favor. Over the past few months, the Ai family has suffered a lot. Now, are you planning to hide in the deep palace and eat and drink for the rest of your life?"

The queen mother's words made Du Xiaoyue withdraw her hand that was about to hold the teacup, she quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "Mother, you praise Xiaoyue too much, Xiaoyue is stupid, it is a fluke to be a queen, Xiaoyue Yue doesn't dare to ask for anything else." These words sound a little forceful, but they are indeed Du Xiaoyue's psychological words.

"The Ai family has been in the palace for so many years, what kind of person hasn't seen it? Whether there is a wrong person, the Ai family can decide for themselves." The Queen Mother's smile is still there, but there is no rebuttal in her tone, which makes the smile on Du Xiaoyue's face unstoppable. Hang on like that again.The queen mother's words, Du Xiaoyue can understand it as: You are a petty boy, you still want to fight with us with your little care, you are still young, go back and practice for a few more years!
"What orders does the queen mother have, please tell me directly!" Du Xiaoyue also knew that she couldn't hide her tail in front of this shrewd old demon fox, so she simply stood up and spoke out.

"The Ai family likes your straightforward temper!" The queen mother smiled naturally, but that smile seemed to be calculating, "Although you are from the Du family, the Ai family thinks that you are the Ai family." The family is trustworthy. Therefore, the Ai family wants to entrust this harem together with the emperor to you!"

"Why?! Why do you trust me? Trust the daughter of the man you are dealing with?" Du Xiaoyue didn't understand where the queen mother's trust came from, "Also, why did you entrust the harem and the emperor to me? You have always been assisting the emperor, you have always been in charge of the harem, and you have always done a good job!"

"The end of mourning is coming!" The Queen Mother did not shy away from it, looked at Du Xiaoyue, and said quietly, her tone was relieved, and there was even a trace of relief. "The mourning family believes in you, and there is a reason for mourning the family."

The end is approaching? !Du Xiaoyue looked at the queen mother incomprehensibly. The queen mother's face was ruddy. When she saw her, her eyes were always sparkling. When talking and laughing, she was radiant. It was impossible to tell that she was a dying person!Most importantly, how did she know she was going to die?Could it be that she will fail to predict?Of course, Du Xiaoyue didn't think she had the ability to predict, otherwise, she wouldn't have to spend a few months observing herself.Then, after thinking about it, there is only one possibility: she has an incurable illness—but there is no sign of lingering pain on her face or body, especially the relief in her tone, which is not at all like a What patients can have!Therefore, even after this possibility was denied, Du Xiaoyue really couldn't guess the reason for her words.

"Why don't you ask the Ai family what they said?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile in her eyes again.

"I'm afraid I'm asking, but you won't tell me!" Du Xiaoyue replied softly, everyone in the palace has a story, the queen mother must have experienced many people or things in order to be able to come to this day in the palace, There are some things she doesn't want to mention, so if asked, she may not necessarily answer, and why she believes in herself, Du Xiaoyue and this feeling, it is better not to know the answer, otherwise it is very likely to jump into another in a circle.

"Aijia likes that you know how to advance and retreat!" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Okay, since you have agreed to Aijia's request, Aijia can rest assured. Now let's go to Xingyun Pavilion together and have a look. I mourn my future grandson."
