Chapter 977 Believe in Your Clever Mouth

Every time I go back to the harem to pay my respects to the Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother, as an old mother, has nothing else to say.

After all, the mother-child relationship between her and fourth master was just like that.

For everyone in the harem, it is even more indifferent.

However, what is said the most every time is that more sons and more blessings will extend the succession of the emperor's heirs.

After a long time, even she, who is the queen, has to be said a few words.

Whoever let the entire harem belong to her.

There has been no movement in the harem for a long time, and she, the queen of the harem, is most responsible.

So, if you go to Ningshou Palace today, Ruoyin can guess what the queen mother and everyone in the harem will say.

As for the servants around her, only Banmei is the most calm, she is always at ease.

Down below is the older Nanny Liu.

"Yes." After the servants agreed, they helped Ruoyin onto the chariot.

A moment later, the phoenix chariot stopped at Ningshou Palace.

Ruoyin supported Nanny Liu's hand, and led by the maid, entered the main hall of Ningshou Palace.

When we got there, everyone in the harem was there.

No matter what, it is the queen mother's territory, and no one dares to show off.

"Auspicious queen." When they saw Ruoyin, everyone saluted.

Ruoyin waved his hands casually, signaling them to get up.

Then, she took a seat near the front.

As a queen, as long as you arrive within the stipulated time, you will be fine.

Anyway, the queen mother waited for everyone to arrive and appeared on the stage according to her mood.

I'm in a good mood, and it's only time for a cup of tea.

If the harem is intentionally left on the bench, it may take half an hour before they are willing to appear.

The mood of the Queen Mother today is neither good nor bad.

After about a stick of incense, she held Aunt Cui's hand and came in through the side door.

"Auspiciousness for the Queen Mother, good luck and prosperity for the Queen Mother." Ruoyin and everyone stood up and saluted the moment they saw the Queen Mother.

After the queen mother sat down, she said calmly: "Get up, it's rare that you often come to pay your respects, and you will never be shaken."

"It's all taught by the empress." Concubine Xi put a high hat on Ruoyin.

"It's what concubines should do to pay respects to the Queen Mother. Besides, the sisters all know the general idea, so I don't need my teaching." Ruoyin smiled lightly, and took off her high hat lightly.

The Empress Dowager was used to this kind of bickering when she was young.

At this moment, it is not serious.

It was only after everyone was seated that she casually mentioned: "You guys are always in front of Ai's house. But don't lose your mind when you are with the emperor."

Everyone in the harem looked at the queen mother, each of them just smiled, not talking.

The queen mother looked at the concubines below, but she would not give up easily.

"Now, the emperor has been on the throne for several months. Not only the Ai family is looking forward to holding the first grandson after he ascends the throne, but the royal family also pays attention to having more children and more blessings. The emperor has few heirs, and the ministers in the court are even more anxious. Looking forward to the emperor's first son after ascending the throne, this is not just as simple as an heir, but also a blessing of the Qing Dynasty."

Hearing this, Ruoyin and the others smiled and listened humbly.

Regardless of what the Queen Mother said, just nod in approval.

Only Concubine Xi seemed to be in harmony, but in fact she was provocative and said: "What the Empress Dowager said is that the concubine is also anxious about the matter of pregnancy. But no matter how anxious she is, she can't be as grand as Concubine Qi and look at herself. If she couldn't give birth, she carried the palace maid up. If this offends the emperor, the loss outweighs the gain."

The queen mother has never seen anything in the world.

Concubine Xi's tricks are not enough in her eyes.

The old man snorted coldly and said: "Why can't you be like Concubine Qi. According to Aijia, each of you, if you can give birth, you should seize the opportunity. If you can't give birth, you should be like Concubine Qi. , as a dowry maid, in short, we must give up the opportunity and don't occupy the space and not lay eggs."

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is common for concubines who have fallen out of favor to carry maids in order to have a place in the harem.

Even if there is an older sister, the younger sister will enter the palace again.

There are many cases where sisters serve a king.

Back then, Queen Tong Jia and her younger sister lived in the Forbidden City as well.

Just waiting for the sisters to serve the emperor together when they become adults.

At this moment, Concubine Qi was praised by the Queen Mother, but she couldn't laugh no matter what.

Even if she was praised by the Queen Mother.

But after losing the favor of the emperor, it is strange that she can laugh.

However, she thought that she could be among the crowd and avoid the empress dowager's lecture.

Who knew that the Empress Dowager actually called out her name and said: "Concubine Qi, you said you are too. Since you know that you can't give birth, you don't know how to persuade the emperor to go to other concubines. Why do you have to bring up the maids around you? Those court ladies, Her status is low and her origin is unknown, but the emperor is so cautious, even if she is born like a flower, naturally she will not take a second look."

He still knew her own son.

"Yes, what the queen mother said is right, and the concubine will keep it in mind." Concubine Qi didn't expect the queen mother to say it.

Seeing that Concubine Qi is quite sensible, the Queen Mother didn't say much.

Those sharp and sophisticated eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the harem.

In the end, it fell on Ruoyin's face.

Ruoyin met the Queen Mother's eyes, and knew that the old man was going to talk about her.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager looked at her and said: "Queen, the Ai family has already said that, as the middle palace, you should persuade the emperor to be exposed to both rain and dew."

"Emperor's mother, the emperor is exposed to both rain and dew. But he is the first to become a great treasure, and the court is busy with business, and he often spends all night reviewing memorials. Even if he is resting, he can't sleep for a few hours at night. Not to mention the time in the harem, of course. greatly reduced."

"Listen, in this way, the Ai family will see, it's still your fault." The queen mother said.

Ruoyin lowered his eyes and listened attentively, "Please tell me, Queen Mother."

"When you were canonized, Ai's family reminded you to give appropriate advice to the emperor. You knew that he was so diligent that he didn't care about his health, but you didn't know how to advise him."

"But the emperor's whole heart is devoted to the imperial court, and the concubine can't persuade him. Besides, the concubine thinks that the emperor is doing business, and it will be better after a while."

"As an emperor, there is no such thing as too busy." Regarding this son, the Queen Mother couldn't understand him any better.

Then, the Empress Dowager seemed to think of something, her complexion sank, and she snorted coldly: "Empress, Aijia believes in your clever mouth, there is nothing I can't persuade you."

Ruoyin twitched the corner of his mouth.

She knew that the Empress Dowager was referring to the event that the Fourteenth Lord was in the funeral palace.

In this matter, she made the Queen Mother suffer, so naturally she couldn't say much.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "The concubine will try her best."

"Okay, you all go back." The queen mother waved her hand, a little tired, but when she raised her eyes, she said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty Zhuang, stay here."

Hearing this, everyone paused for a while, then saluted and left.
