First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 347 Mother and child unite (one more)

  "Don't do it!"

"Do not listen!"

   "No way!"

   "Unless Ai Jia is dead!"

  In the bedroom of Renshou Palace, Queen Mother Zhuang, who had listened to Gu Jiao’s suggestion, refused without thinking, and there was no room for maneuver.

  Gu Jiao groaned weirdly.

  Knowing my aunt for so long, the first time I was rejected so thoroughly.

  In fact, she didn't do anything, just relayed the words of her grandfather and asked her to put aside her prejudices and work with the emperor to bring out the people behind the scenes.

  It seems that my aunt seems to be dissatisfied with Grandpa’s proposal.

  "Eat three more candied fruits every day?" Gu Jiao threw out sugar-coated cannonballs.

   "Huh!" The Queen Mother was unmoved.

   "Four?"

   "Hmm...five?" Gu Jiao measured her five fingers.

  Queen Mother Zhuang defended her position, seemingly to prevent Gu Jiao from using sugar-coated cannonballs to smash her defenses. She went to the study without looking back.

   "Sigh." Gu Jiao sighed.

  Gu Jiao walked out slowly, came to the courtyard of the front hall, and sat down on the lone swing stand.

  How lively is Xiaojingkong when he is here, how deserted he is when he is away.

  There is not much coolness on the night in July, and the heat is still full, but because of successive rains, it is not as sultry as the previous days.

  Gu Jiao sat on the swing stand, sighing boredly on the swing.

  Duke Qin clinging to the whisk and walked over: "Girl Gu."

  Gu Jiao touched the ground with her toes, and stopped the swing which was swinging around.

   "Duke Qin." She said hello.

  Duke Qin stood still by the swing stand, looked at Gu Jiao, and then at the boundless night.

  It was the first time he saw Gu Jiao in his mind. He regarded her as a little girl who didn't understand the rules and did not know the heights of the sky. After some contact, he found that he was wrong.

  Where is this girl who doesn’t understand the rules and does not know the height of the sky? She clearly stepped on the rules and punched a hole in the sky.

  She has the calmness that does not belong to girls of the same age, and she also has the childlike innocence that girls of the same age have long abandoned.

  She doesn't have so many sloppy intestines, nor so many worldly burdens. She wants to be good to a person, that is, to be good to a person regardless of the cost, without the slightest reservation or suspicion.

   Regardless of whether that person is good or evil.

  She has her own beliefs and is so firm that no one can easily shake her.

  The thin and small body somehow seems to contain infinite power, reassuring power, and power that makes people want to be close.

  Occasionally, Duke Qin would think, if the original Majesty could be as firm and convinced as Miss Gu, would he not go where he is with the Queen Mother?

   "Your Majesty was very clingy when he was a child. He was very clingy to the queen mother, and even Princess Biningan was clingy to the queen mother."

Duke Qin said, as if recalling something interesting, he laughed, "The old slave remembers one time... the queen mother brought a dealer's little son over. It was the little son who didn't know the way and was caught by Concubine Liu Gui. The dog was frightened, and the queen mother refused to hug him, so she took him by her hand. But her Majesty was jealous for this. He didn’t eat well at night, and he refused to sleep well at night, lying on the bed tossing and irritating him. But just don't say what's wrong with me.

  Tsao Jing asked him, is it uncomfortable? He didn't say a word. Princess Ning An also asked him, he just sulked and didn't speak. "

  Gu Jiao's expression is hard to express, and Xiao Jingkong is not so naive.

   "Then, what happened later?" Gu Jiao asked.

Duke Qin recalled with a smile: "Later, Princess Jing sent people to the Queen Mother’s palace, which is the Kunning Palace where Queen Xiao now lives. His Majesty climbed onto the Queen Mother’s bed and slept with the Queen Mother for one night, and the next day he was alive and kicking. Up."

  Gu Jiao pouted her mouth, her childishness died.

  Gu Jiao said, "How old was your Majesty then?"

Duke Qin thought for a while: "Let’s look like seven or eight years old. I don’t remember the details of the old slave. It’s a bit smaller than the Seventh Prince now, and not as fat as the Seventh Prince. Don’t look at the height of the current Majesty. Like a skinny monkey, he looks like he is only five years old when he is seven years old. For a time, the Queen Mother thought that her Majesty would not grow tall in the future.

   is similar to Xiaojingkong. It seems that she doesn't need to worry too much about Xiaojingkong's size. Some people really start to grow upwind when they are older.

   "What's next?" Gu Jiao thought this story was quite interesting.

Qin Gonggong sighed, "Later, your Majesty and the Queen Mother are slowly estranged for some reason. The old slave can't tell exactly where it started. In short, the relationship between the two is getting more and more stiff, and Princess Ning'an is caught in the middle. Difficult. After your majesty ascended the throne, the queen mother listened to politics, and sent the concubine Jing to the nunnery, and the relationship between the two was completely shattered."

   sounds very sad.

  Gu Jiao can't understand too complicated emotions, but she substitutes Xiaojingkong and herself. If one day Xiaojingkong hates herself for another person, then she will be sad and sad too.

  Emotion is the most wonderful thing in the world. It has nothing to do with blood. Just as a family, you can't lose this person.

  "Auntie and Concubine Jing are the same?" Gu Jiao asked.

  Duke Qin nodded, the queen mother used to be sincere as her friend with Concubine Jing Jing, but who didn’t look away when she was young?

  The enemy’s attack is not terrible. The betrayal from the most trusted person is the real pain.

  Gu Jiao paused, and asked, "Auntie is such a smart person, can't take your Majesty back from that person?"

  Duke Qin shook his head helplessly: "It's not that I can't help but I don't want to think of a solution. Once my heart is chilled, it doesn't matter."

   "Is... Is it true that sorrow is more than heart-death?" Gu Jiao looked at Duke Qin and asked.

  Duke Qin nodded: "Yes, this is the reason."

Gu Jiao probably has experienced this feeling. It feels that she no longer remembers it. There are only a few sounds and pictures left in the memory of childhood abandoned by her parents. She can look at them calmly without feeling the slightest pain. .

  This is actually called numbness.

  She was numb at a very young age, so she can be an agent of the organization and the coldest-blooded killer.

  The Queen Mother Zhuang only experienced this until her middle age. She couldn't be completely numb, she could only try to make herself dead.

  She is Zhuang Jinse, the most powerful queen dowager in Zhaoguo. She has her own pride. When she was a queen, she didn't bother to fight for favor with the harem. How can she fight for a man with Princess Jing now? Even if that man is his adopted son.

  Gu Jiao understood. She held the rope of the swing and looked at Duke Qin, "I see, thank you Duke Qin."

  She will not force her aunt to do what she does not want to do.

  Since Grandpa's method didn't work, she came to think of other methods.

  Duke Qin was secretly pleased that he was really a sensible child, not to mention that the queen mother loved her, he couldn't help but want to love her.

  It's a pity that he is an eunuch, he has no abilities and can't hurt her.

  Gu Jiao got up from the swing and went to the study of Queen Mother Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was very angry when she looked at the Zhezi--someone under her hand was caught with dirty hands and feet. She was not a meritocracy monarch. After so many years of ups and downs in the harem and court, she deeply understood a truth. That means there is no fish when the water is clear.

  She has always valued a person’s ability, and the strength of a person can accommodate the shortcomings of others. This is not to say that the people under her can do whatever they want.

  Everything has a limit. You can't really kill people and set fires, nor can you unscrupulously fish and flesh the people to fill their desires. Everything has a limit, and she won't indulge and shelter her.

   "One million taels of disaster-relief silver, 950,000 taels of greedy ink, and some people grab the handle and don't kill anyone!"

  The Queen Mother coldly hummed and threw the folds into the pile of folds on the left hand side. These are the folds that can be presented to the emperor. With the emperor's temperament that can't rub the sand, she will definitely do it strictly.

   "Auntie?"

  A round head stuck out.

  You can guess who it is without looking.

   Empress Dowager Zhuang responded indifferently: "What are you doing?"

  Gu Jiao said: "It's getting late, I'll go home first, you rest early."

   After that, she gently closed the door for her aunt.

   "Hold on." The Queen Mother faintly stopped her.

   "Huh?" Gu Jiaofu pushed the door open again, her eyes rolled, and she stepped across the threshold, staring at the Queen Mother Zhuang with her phoenix eyes unblinking.

  The Queen Mother took a booklet and said casually: "Does the words just now count?"

  "Which sentence?" Gu Jiao asked.

  The Queen Mother cleared her throat: "Just... the sentence with five stars!"

  Gu Jiao stretched out her hand, looked at her five fingers, and then at the Queen Mother Zhuang, her eyes were shining: "I count! But, isn't my aunt unwilling?"

  The Queen Mother was furious in her heart. A successful Queen Mother can’t get along with Candied Fruit!

  Queen Mother Zhuang said coldly: "Start counting from today."

   "Okay!" Gu Jiao didn't hesitate. It happened that her purse was filled with the newly-contained candied fruit. She took out the candied fruit box, counted five and left it in the candied fruit box, and stuffed the rest into her mouth.

   Queen Mother Zhuang: "..."

  The Queen Mother took a deep breath, depressed her heart and rolled: "Isn't it eight? How come there are only five?"

  Originally three pills a day, but I said that I would give five more pills. Isn’t that eight?

  She just held back today, she hasn't eaten one yet.

  Gu Jiao filled her mouth with candied fruit, and said vaguely: "It's just five...If you don't believe me, think about it..."

  The Queen Mother Zhuang recalled her original words in her mind.

   "Eat three candied fruit every day?"

  She did not agree at the time.

After   , this girl said--

   "Four?"

   "Hmm...five?"

  It seems that the following two sentences did not add the word "eat more".

  The Queen Mother Zhuang punched the memorial!

  ...Sloppy!

  Gu Jiao was very gentle with her aunt. She focused on respecting her aunt’s opinions, spreading the incident, and did not hide anything from her aunt.

  The emperor doesn’t have this treatment anymore. The old Jijiu is dug pit after pit, so that the emperor is planted and can’t get out of the pit.

  However, the emperor was obviously also strongly resistant to the cooperation with the Queen Mother: "Anything else is fine, but this is not the case! I don't want to fight with that poisonous woman!"

The old Jijiu said earnestly: "Your Majesty, it's not a time to behave, it's important to pull out the real murderer behind the scenes. Is your majesty your face important, or the life of the concubine? And the life of Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao. I don’t even say my life, anyway, it’s not your Majesty."

  Listen, listen, what kind of mess is this? How come the little genius doctor is not him anymore?

  Co-authored In the whole world, only the poisonous woman Zhuang Jinse will love her, and she will ignore her, right?

"The minister failed to speak." The old Jijiu replied and apologized. "The minister means that Jiaojiao can protect herself at any rate. The Taifei empress was persecuted by Concubine Liu in her early years and left her old wounds. If the assassin attacked the Taifei empress again, it was really impossible to guard against. what."

  This is what Jing Taifei's master and servant said by herself, Jing Taifei has old wounds and is very weak!

  The emperor was finally persuaded.

   So the next morning, there was a scene in which hundreds of civil and military officials dropped their chins in shock—the emperor went to the Jinluan Palace with Zhuang Tai.

  Aren’t these two people hating each other even when they appear in the same yard? Why are you here at one hour today? Usually it was either the Queen Mother Zhuang who came first or the emperor first. In short, the two did not meet each other.

  The two came to the gate of the Jinluan Temple. The emperor stopped, smiled at Queen Mother Zhuang, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please, mother queen."

   Empress Dowager Zhuang was so thundered that she almost didn't pick up the sole plate of the shoe and called to the spoon of his brain!

It took a lot of effort for the Queen Mother to hold back. She nodded and crossed the threshold calmly.

  Hundred civil and military officials knelt to greet each other, holding slabs on both sides.

  The Queen Mother Zhuang walked over immediately, and when she was on the steps, Qin Gonggong cleared her throat, the corner of her mouth twitched, she stopped and stretched out her hand.

   Now it was the emperor's turn to pick up the sole of the shoe and stun himself.

  Is there still this operation?

  He didn't say the surname Huo either!

  The emperor held back the twitch in his heart, and held onto the wrist of the Queen Mother.

  Mother and son filially went up the steps, and after sitting in their respective positions, they wiped their hands without a trace!

  Emperor: Dislike it!

   Queen Mother: Oh, who isn’t!

  Today’s early dynasty is also incomparably harmonious-the emperor dealt with a minister from the Empress Dowager’s camp. Not only did the empress dowager not hinder him, she praised the emperor for his good work.

   Empress Dowager Zhuang said with concern that the emperor’s body seemed to be thinner than before, and that she should take care of the dragon body, and don’t break her body due to state affairs.

   "What the mother said is extremely true, the son has written it down." The emperor said respectfully in the direction of Zhulian.

  Civil and military officials simply suspected that they were blind and deaf!

  I can see the emperor and the queen mother reconciled in the rest of his life, are they crazy, or are they crazy?

  The news was so shocking that even the officials of the two factions who were supposed to fight against each other became dumb guns.

  It's not enough to let the civil and military officials see it. It has to be known to everyone in the harem.

  So after the next day, the mother and son went to the Imperial Garden together again, chatting and laughing along the way, it was very uncomfortable.

   "Your Majesty, it's time to laugh." Wei Gonggong reminded.

  The emperor squeezed his fist and smiled soullessly: "Hahaha!"

  "Queen Mother, it's your turn." Qin Gonggong reminded.

   Queen Mother Zhuang rolled her eyes, but didn't smile: "Ha ha ha."

  In less than a day, the Sixth House heard that the two had settled their suspicions.

   Empress Xiao came to the Huaqing Palace for the first time to inquire about the news: "Your Majesty! The concubine heard about you and the Queen Mother..." Halfway through the conversation, she saw the person sitting next to the emperor and owed her body, "The Queen Mother."

  Quiet Toffee smiled slightly: "The queen, come and sit down."

"Yes."

  Actually, in the position of Empress Xiao, there is no need to salute a concubine, but the emperor regarded her as his mother, and Empress Xiao could only be a filial daughter-in-law.

  Queen Xiao sat down on the other side of Princess Jing.

  Queen Princess smiled and asked: "What did the Queen want to ask your Majesty?"

  Queen Xiao looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The concubine has heard about some things about your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and I don’t know the truth or not, so I would like to ask."

  The emperor's tone was open: "Since you all know, then I don't need to say more."

   Empress Xiao couldn’t hide her surprise: “So it’s true? Why?”

It is indeed strange that people who have been fighting for more than ten or twenty years suddenly relieved their previous suspicions. In order not to arouse suspicion, Lao Jijiu found a perfect explanation for the reconciliation of the two.

  The emperor's memory is not bad, he didn't forget his words, he said: "Does the queen remember that Xiao Heng was poisoned near Renshou Palace more than ten years ago?"

  Queen Xiao's eyes were cold: "The concubine remembers it!"

  Xiao Heng is her brother's aunt and her most beloved nephew. He was almost poisoned to death, and she will never forget this enmity in her life!

The emperor    said: "The murderer was found, not by the Queen Mother, but there is someone behind him. I have misunderstood the Queen Mother all these years, and I am truly ashamed of the Queen Mother."

  The last few words are really hard for him to say, but Old Jijiu said that these few words are soul lines, and they are not enough to win people's trust.

  He seriously suspects that the old Jijiu is acting for the sake of public welfare!

   "What? Someone else? Who?" Queen Xiao asked three times in a row!

  Quiet Toffee lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea quietly, holding up her teacup.

  The emperor said: "The person who poisoned Ah Heng is called Zhang Xiu. He once worked in the Shanggong Bureau, and he is considered to be the person next to me."

  Queen Xiao: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor sighed reproachfully: "I didn't expect that she would do such a thing. I was oversight. A few days ago, she suddenly committed suicide, and one of her deceased took away her belongings until a few days ago. The old man discovered a secret many years ago from her remains."

  Queen Xiao directly stood up: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't believe me!"

  Lao Jijiu did not tell the emperor that Zhang Xiu was really the murderer. He used it as an excuse to announce to the emperor.

  The emperor thought that what he said was false, and Empress Xiao also thought that the emperor was deceived by others. These are not important. The important thing is that the person who instructed Zhang Xiu to understand that this matter is true.

  As long as she believes it is enough.

  　 Thank you, thank you all.
