   Chapter 28 The Queen Mother

  The Queen Mother twitched the corners of her mouth very quickly when she heard the words.

  The old general Lin passed away, but when he passed away, he was nearly sixty years old, and the granddaughter of the old lady could get married. Is the statement of orphans and widows an exaggeration?

  The Queen Mother flashed this thought in her heart, and she was still concerned: "Where did the old lady come from?"

The old lady stopped crying immediately, holding a cane and said, "I didn't want Wanqing to marry Wen Rugui back then, but who makes Wanqing like it, a mother will always be soft-hearted towards her children. …”

  The Queen Mother nodded.

Isn't that the case with her too? That year, the second son led the army to Beijing to win the throne of the eldest son. Although she was angry with the second son, she still felt distressed when she saw that the second son was struggling because of the opposition of some officials, so she put on a gesture of supporting the second son. , to help the second son through the difficult period of his succession.

   Of course she also felt sorry for the eldest son, but the life and death of the eldest son's disappearance is unknown, and the second son is right in front of her eyes. What is the way to not help the second son?

   Thinking of this, the Queen Mother squeezed the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eye.

   "I thought he would be a poor scholar without the help of the Yue family in the future, and he would not be bad for Wanqing, but who would have thought that today, he would bring the outer chamber and a pair of outer chambers into the house!"

   "Is there such a thing?" The queen was shocked, but she was not surprised.

   After listening to the old lady saying so much, she would be too stupid to guess that Wen Rugui is hiding in a golden house.

   And the anger towards the old lady, the queen mother did not feel so sympathetic.

   When she became the queen mother, I don't know how many Yingyingyanyans she has seen around the emperor, and an outer chamber is also worth being an old lady of the Lin family to come to the palace to cry?

  Lin Wanqing was really spoiled by the old lady, she was so stupid.

  The Empress Dowager is naturally familiar with the Lin family.

   When General Lin followed the previous emperor to fight for the world, the old lady also went to the battlefield with her husband. Lin was left behind and was often called by the queen mother to speak.

   Lin Wanqing was only in her teens at that time, and her temperament did not like the queen mother. The reason why the queen mother often cared about it is self-evident.

   "The queen mother will almost never see her old body!"

  The Queen Mother coughed: "Relax, old lady, is this man—"

  The old lady interrupted the queen mother's comfort: "I saw that the outer room was even bigger than Chan'er, and almost didn't come up in one breath!"

   This time, the Queen Mother was really surprised.

   "Bigger than Chan'er?"

   Does this mean that not long after Lin Wanqing and Wen Rugui got married, Wen Rugui raised the outer room?

   No wonder the old lady was so angry.

   This is not just a matter of slapping the General's manor's face, but the affection Wen Rugui showed to Lin Wanqing has become a joke.

   The old lady loves Lin Wanqing as her eyeball, can you not be angry?

"That's all. Who let Wan Qing take a fancy to it first, how can it be so good to have a lover." The old lady's expression changed from anger to icy cold, "but he said in front of countless people that he was being raped back then. My old man forced me to agree..."

  The Queen Mother listened to the old lady all the way to the steward Wen Ping.

"Fortunately, the people around him are honest, and they didn't help Zhou to lie to him, or else the General's mansion would not be able to be washed away if he jumped into the Yellow River." Having said this, the old lady's eyes were already red, "That ruthless beast pretended to be a jerk. Ten years, it was just to see my old man go. Lao Shen and Wan Qing lost their greatest support, so they showed their fangs. Empress Dowager, Lao Shen has no other choice but to ask you to call the shots..."

   Hearing the old lady's cry, the queen mother thought of herself.

  Different from those women who climbed to the position of queen from ordinary concubines by fighting for favor, she was his first wife before the previous emperor competed for the world, and she became the queen after that was a matter of course and could not be ignored.

   That's it. During the period when the late emperor died, she also experienced some difficulties in losing the support of her husband.

   Those difficulties are not the same as the old lady, but they are similar.

   Looking at the old lady with red eyes, the long-lasting friendship in the Queen Mother's heart was awakened.

   It is a little bit, but it does not mean that the friendship between the two women was too shallow when General Lin accompanied the late emperor to conquer the world. During that particularly difficult and anxious period, the Queen Mother and Mrs. Lin were once very close.

   Of course, the Empress Dowager was very close to several of the first emperor's right-hand wives, so there is no need to go into details.

   Just over twenty years have passed, time has hardened the heart of this most honorable woman in Da Zhou, and diluted the friendship that was once sincere.

   And this moment of communication finally made the Queen Mother relent.

   "I really didn't expect—" The Queen Mother sighed and patted the old lady's hand, "What is the old lady's plan?"

  The old lady's expression was extraordinarily resolute: "Wen Rugui slandered my old man, it is no different from killing me, righteousness, must be righteous, the Lin family does not want to have any connection with such corrupt people!"

   Righteousness.

  The Queen Mother did not surprise the old lady's decision: "It's really impossible to be a family if it's like this."

   "The two granddaughters are going back to Lin's house, so they can't follow their wolf-hearted father!" The old lady said again.

   This is the biggest purpose of her going to the palace to find the queen mother to complain.

   She didn't have the slightest patience to compete with the beast for the ownership of her two granddaughters. It was the quickest way to find the queen mother to be the master.

   As for Wen Rugui's dismissal, that's what the censors would do.

  Wen Rugui has such a big handle, no matter what the motive is, there will always be an official who will stand up.

  The Queen Mother then turned her attention to the girl standing quietly behind the old lady.

  The girl was wearing a half-new white robe and green skirt, with a simple double bun. The dress was very ordinary, but she was dazzling and beautiful.

   "Is this right?" The Queen Mother asked based on her impression.

   Wen Hao bowed his knees and said yes.

  The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Wen a few more times and smiled: "Ai Jia had heard that Ah Hao could speak, but she didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

   She said, and patted the old lady's hand again: "Old lady, your granddaughter is all well, the only regret is not being able to speak. Now there is no regret, good days are coming."

   "It's all thanks to the Queen Mother." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

  The Queen Mother said so, obviously willing to intervene.

  Not long after the old lady left with Wen Hao, Emperor Tai'an came to the Cining Palace.

   Emperor Tai'an was very filial to the Empress Dowager. As long as he was not too busy, he would always come to Cining Palace to chat with the Empress Dowager every day.

   "Why doesn't the mother look happy?" After saying a few words, Emperor Tai'an saw it.

Mrs.   's face was light: "The old lady of the Lin family came into the palace just now."

   As soon as he heard the word "Lin Family", Emperor Tai'an immediately realized which family it was. After all, he didn't even want the position of the king, and General Lin was the only one in the world.

   "Could it be that the old lady of the Lin family is upset with her mother?"

   "The old lady of the Lin family didn't make the Aijia unhappy. She just heard the old lady talk about her son-in-law, and the Aijia felt heavy."

  The Queen Mother told the message that the old lady had brought, and sighed lightly: "Even at the age of the old lady of the Lin family, if a woman loses her husband, will she be bullied by others?"
