The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Xuanye lay on the bed and ate candied fruit, while Qiqige sat by the bed and watched him eat.

Xuan Ye sighed: "Emperor Niang, you are so kind, I want to eat candy, but the emperor's grandmother and Er Niang won't let me."

Qiqige persuaded him not to be too moved, "Oh! Your imperial grandmother and Er Niang are also doing it for your own good! Like me, I don't care if you eat candy and you get cavities. Anyway, you already have a pockmarked face, not very handsome. It doesn't matter if there are two black holes on the front teeth!"

Xuan Ye put down the candied fruit, feeling suddenly lost his appetite.

Qiqige laughed in his heart that his idol was burdened, "Eat it, young master, if you eat it once in a while, why would you get rotten teeth? I was just trying to scare you!"

Xuan Ye sighed, "Forget it, I have no appetite, just hide the rest and eat slowly!"

He closed the lid of the box and carefully hid the box in the dark compartment next to the bed.

Qiqige said: "Are you so picky? It's not like you can't afford it."

Xuan Ye turned around and said seriously: "Although I am an emperor and rich all over the world, I am burdened with the country and the foundation of my ancestors, so I can't act willfully. There must be moderation in everything. I can't eat sweets wantonly now, and I can't indulge in wine and sex in the future." .”

Qiqige couldn't agree, "You are an emperor, but you are also a human being. If you are an emperor, then the emperor will not do it. People's desires are like a surging river. If you build many dams to block the river, one day the river will collapse. Dams, the consequences will be even more serious."

The Empress Dowager often taught Xuan Ye to be self-disciplined and not to act willfully, and Qi Qige taught Xuan Ye not to be too depressed.The two different education methods confuse Xuanye, who doesn't know who to listen to.

Xuan Ye muttered: "But the emperor's grandmother said that being an emperor can't do everything according to one's own temperament. I hold the power of life and death in my hands, so I should be more cautious and restrained than ordinary people."

The first emperor was self-willed, and never cared about other people's feelings when doing things.The empress dowager was afraid that Xuan Ye would follow his father, so she was very strict in this regard.

Qiqige is also not good at criticizing the Empress Dowager's views on education, she can only say: "Your imperial grandmother is well-informed, so what she said is naturally very reasonable. However, as you said just now, everything must be done in moderation." .If you make it too hard for yourself, to the point of being almost harsh, isn't that too much?"

Xuan Ye nodded thoughtfully, "There is some truth to what Queen Mother said."

Qiqige shook her head triumphantly, "Oh! I'm always very reasonable, all the people in the world have the surname Qiqige."

She asked Xuan Ye, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some supper to pad your stomach?"

Xuan Ye rubbed his belly, "I'm not very hungry, but I want to eat the duck neck from the Queen's Palace."

Qiqige gave a thumbs up with a smile, "Young man is very discerning! Coincidentally, I happened to have a duck neck marinated in the palace, so I brought it for you to eat!"

Qiqige ordered Aruna to prepare food, and after a while Aruna brought two big bowls of porridge and some side dishes, as well as the duck neck that Xuanye wanted to eat.

The moonlight was bright, Aruna opened the window, lowered the window drawer, and the hazy moonlight shone in through the window screen even more hazy.

Qiqige poured herself a cup of tea, "Such a beautiful moon needs to be eaten with wine."

Xuan Ye said: "Mother Huang, you can't eat the moon, and drinking alcohol can hurt your health, so you should pick the meat off the duck's neck for me!"

"Stinky boy, you still dare to order me! You have to chew on the neck of the duck. You will have no soul if you eat like this."

Cursing like this, Qiqige still put down the teacup and washed her hands, picking meat for Xuanye to eat.

Xuan Ye scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and picked up a chopstick of duck meat, eating happily.

He said: "Mother Huang, my mother treated you badly, and I apologize to you on her behalf. You came to visit me today, but you didn't say a word to me. I thought you were angry with me! "

"Is this the attitude of apologizing? If you sincerely apologize, don't eat this duck neck!"

Xuan Ye hurriedly stuffed all the shredded meat into his mouth, "Emperor Niang, which one of us is with whom! You don't need to be so polite."

After getting along with each other these days, Xuan Ye has grasped the essence of Qi Qige's nonsense.

Qiqige deeply felt that the child was not easy to deceive, "Hey! You have learned to use words to deal with me!"

Xuan Ye asked: "Empress, you are eloquent, can you persuade my mother? She is always in charge of me, and she will cry if I go to Jingren Palace. Talk with me, and when I leave, she just sits in the house, and if this continues, all good people will be bored."

Qiqige resolutely refused, "I can't persuade you, don't look for me."

Xuanye complained: "Mother Huang, didn't you say that we are friends who do homework assignments and that our friendship is very strong?"

Qiqige: "Since you said that, I now officially announce that our friendship has capsized! The boat of our friendship is strong, but it capsized! It sank!"

Xuan Ye puffed up his face and was annoyed, the Queen's mother's friendship was worthless.

Qiqige tore off a piece of duck meat and threw it into her mouth, "Don't blame me for being heartless, the person your mother hates the most right now is me, won't I add fuel to the flames if I go to persuade her?"

Xuan Ye nodded, "That's true."

"In the final analysis, this is a matter between you mother and child. It is inconvenient for me, an outsider, to intervene. If you feel that your mother's love is too heavy, you can talk to her calmly and tell your mother how you feel. But you have to Mentally prepare, if you are willing to talk, your mother may not be willing to listen. She understands the truth, but she can't control herself."

Qiqige poured herself another bowl of tea, "It is difficult to be a woman, but it is even more difficult to be a woman in the harem. Our days are endlessly waiting, waiting for the emperor to come to the harem, waiting for his son to visit. But the emperor and the child have their own Things, wives, concubines and mothers are just insignificant people in their lives."

Xuan Ye said excitedly: "You are not insignificant!"

"Have you ever experienced the feeling of waiting? From morning to night, day after day, year after year, you can't see your family or friends, and you can only talk about trivial things with other concubines. If you make a mistake If you say something, it will become an excuse for others to attack you. Xuan Ye, you can give too little, and your mother wants too much."

Xuanye lowered his head and looked sad, Qiqige reflected on whether he had talked too much.After all, the child is still sick, and it will be even worse if he has something to worry about.

Qiqige quickly persuaded: "I'll give you an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work. You should have a good talk with your mother first. If she can listen, that's the best. If she can't You don’t need to persuade her to go in. You can find something for her to do, such as letting her sew two clothes for you with her own hands, or find a docile kitten and puppy for her to raise. Don’t be afraid of her hard work, you want Make her feel needed."

Xuan Ye sighed: "What Queen Mother said makes sense, let me give it a try."

Qiqige sympathized with Xuanye's embarrassment, but she really couldn't help him.

Aruna came in and reminded, "Madam, it's getting late, the emperor should rest."

Qi Qige said to Xuan Ye: "Brush your teeth and go to bed quickly. You are still young, and it is time to grow your body. If you don't sleep and eat well, you will not grow tall. Don't stay up late and study hard in the future!"

Xuanye quickly agreed, and Qiqige helped Aruna back to Xian'an Palace under the moonlight.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning Qiqige went to the Compassion Palace to pay her respects, but found that Tong Jiashi hadn't come.

When the crowd dispersed, Qiqige couldn't help but ask the Empress Dowager, "Why didn't Xuan Ye's mother-in-law come?"

The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead in annoyance, "I'm sick, I felt uncomfortable when I went back yesterday.

, I developed a high fever again this morning, and I have sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it. "

Qiqige sighed: "He had a high fever in the morning... Don't be ill because I heard that I visited Xuanye last night!"

"Hmph, who knows?"

The empress dowager looked down on Tong Jia's narrow-minded look, "Xuan Ye crawled out of her stomach, that child is gentle and generous, how could he forget his mother? It is pitiful for a child to lose his father since childhood, how many times?" Isn't it good for a few people to love him? Holding the child in her hands every day, sowing the relationship between the child and the grandmother and aunt, what good can she get?"

Qiqige stepped forward and squeezed the empress dowager's shoulders, persuading her to calm down.

"She is a fool, don't worry about it like her. Last night I advised Xuan Ye to find something for his mother to do, so that she would not be thinking about it all day long."

The Empress Dowager was still very angry, "Xuan Ye is still sick, she fell down first, and Xuan Ye still has to care about her body, how does this make the child recuperate?"

Qiqige echoed: "Yes! We have no way to persuade her. She won't listen to what is said lightly, but she feels aggrieved when what is said too seriously. Xuan Ye is in the middle of a dilemma."

"Who says it's not!" said the Empress Dowager, "Yesterday I said a few words to her, and she became ill. Who should I show this illness to?"

Qiqige smiled and said: "You are too domineering, Tong Jia's health is not good, and he gets sick three or five times a year, you still don't allow him to get sick! Don't worry, let Xuanye persuade him Er Niang. Some words of persuasion can only be said by Xuan Ye, they are mothers and sons, even if some words are harsh, Tong Jia will not hold grudges."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "This is the only way to go now, you and I will persuade, if Tong Jia's family makes a fuss again, won't Xuan Ye want to separate from us? Oh, it would be great if Xuan Ye was your biological son ?”

Qiqige smiled and said: "My empress mother! Fortunately, Xuanye is not my own child, and the children I give birth to must be as virtuous as I am, so can they still be emperors?"

The Empress Dowager imagined Xuan Ye as Qi Qige, and the word "fortunately" immediately popped into her mind.

Fortunately, Xuanye was not Qiqige's own, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would be over!

The empress dowager didn't dare to complain anymore, she told Xuan Ye a lot of good things about Tong Jia's family in private, said a lot of Tong Jia's difficulties, and then taught Xuan Ye how to persuade Tong Jia's family.

Seeing that her grandmother didn't blame Er Niang, but instead spoke kind words for Er Niang, Xuan Ye felt very grateful.

It can be seen that although the Empress Dowager is no longer fighting in the palace, the skill of retreating into advance is not unfamiliar.

Xuanye went to Jingren Palace to visit his mother, and he didn't know how the mother and son talked.In the end, Tong Jiashi dragged his sick body to apologize to the Empress Dowager and Qi Qige, saying that he was ignorant.

Of course the Empress Dowager and Qi Qige wanted to forgive her, and they comforted Tong Jiashi softly and advised her not to worry too much.

Everyone shook hands and made peace, Qiqige thought the matter was over.Unexpectedly, a few days later, Tong Jia, who was still ill, asked the Empress Dowager to allow her family members to visit the palace, and it was best to stay with her in the palace.

Tong Jia just apologized, of course the Empress Dowager wanted to give her this respect.Moreover, the arrival of Tong Jia's family members can also make Tong Jia no longer hold on to Xuan Ye, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

The Empress Dowager agreed to Tong Jia's request, and Tong Jia's family members entered the palace the next day, and it turned out to be a seven-year-old girl.

The empress dowager laughed angrily when she heard the news. She said to Qiqige: "This empress dowager really has a good plan. What is she doing? She thought her son was bewitched by you and me, so she dragged her niece into the palace Win over the emperor for her?"

Qiqige also felt speechless, "How old is Xuan Ye, he is at this age when he is studying hard and playing hard, why would he bring a little girl into the palace!"

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Eight years old is not too young. The first emperor was in charge at the age of 14. Taking the first emperor as an example, Xuan Ye had better be in charge at the age of 14. The power of the court is in the hands of the four ministers. I can't rest assured. If If the emperor wants to be in charge at the age of 14, he has to start a family at the age of 12, so that there is plenty of time."

"Twelve? Twelve years old is still a child!"

The Empress Dowager said: "The consummation of the house can be postponed, but you must get married as soon as possible, otherwise the four ministers will have an excuse not to return the government. Of course, even if the emperor gets married, the ministers may not want to return the government. But Qiqige you Remember, we have to do things rationally."

Qiqige nodded in response, and the Empress Dowager sighed again: "I chose a girl from the Borzigit family, and I want her to enter the palace to accompany the emperor, and I don't want Tong Jia's family to come first."

Qiqige was stunned again, "Huh? Our girl?"

It turned out that the Empress Dowager also wanted to do something close to the water, no wonder she was so angry when she found out that Tong Jia's girl had entered the palace.

The empress dowager made sense, "Emotions must be cultivated since childhood. You are so cute and funny, if you grew up with the first emperor, how could there be anything about Concubine Dong E?"

Qiqige curled her lips in disdain, and the Empress Dowager poked her on the forehead.

"You are the only one in this palace! I was late. Other concubines couldn't bring their natal family in. This time, Tong Jia took advantage of her illness to bring her natal girl in. Only you, who only know how to eat and drink every day, I don’t even know how to support my mother’s family!”

Kikig: Is there a mistake?You engage in unfair competition and call me not smart!
