The Regent's Tender Darling

Cining Palace.

In the residence of the Queen Mother, sandalwood scented the palace. Zhao Quan was led by the eunuchs, giving the impression that he had arrived at a temple.

But which temple would be so magnificent?

The Queen Mother paid homage to the Buddha.

She was also dressed plainly, wearing a plain white Sanskrit silk and satin dress, and her hair was tied up in a bun without a trace of jewelry. She was over fifty, but she didn't look old, but had a Buddhist aura.

An old palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, the Taiwei is here and is waiting in the front hall."

The Queen Mother sat cross-legged on the futon, gently twirling Buddhist beads in her hands and reciting Buddhist scriptures silently.

After hearing this, he stopped moving and slowly opened his eyes. A pair of slightly cloudy eyes revealed a sharp and keen aura.

He opened his mouth and said, "Bring the Lord Taiwei in."

His voice was slightly cold and his tone was calm and calm.

"Yes." The old palace maid bowed and then withdrew.

Nanny Fang, who was standing next to the Queen Mother, looked outside and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that there was another problem with the morning court today when Lord Taiwei came?"

"Are there not many problems?" The Queen Mother closed her eyes, twirled her beads with her hand, and asked in a nonchalant manner.

Aunt Fang immediately shut up, lowered her head and stopped talking.

It was not until the arrival of Captain Zhao that the Queen Mother got up from Putian.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was helped slowly to the side room on the side of the Buddhist hall, and said: "My brother is here, sit down."

After the Queen Mother sat down on the chair, Lieutenant Zhao dared to sit down next to her.

"Is the Queen Mother in good health?"

"Okay, you came to the Aijia today just to greet the Aijia?" The Queen Mother always didn't like others to hang around in front of her, especially when the person in front of her was her younger brother.

Zhao Quan smiled happily and said quickly: "Today the regent punished the governor of Yangzhou and his officials, and your majesty also confronted the regent in front of the courtiers."

"Huh." The Queen Mother sneered and just sipped the tea indifferently, without saying or asking anything.

At this moment, the eunuch's long and shrill voice came from outside the door: "The Emperor is here————!"

Lieutenant Zhao quickly stood up and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I am afraid that I will offend Your Majesty today..."

"Well, you go first." The Queen Mother said.

Not long after, the emperor in dragon robes ran in and said, "My son, please pay your respects to your mother."

"Your Majesty is here, hurry up, sit down next to the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother changed her apathy and waved to the Emperor with a loving smile.

Yan Anzhi looked happy and hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother: "Mother, today the regent is bullying my son in front of the ministers! Even my uncle also helped the regent to speak!"

"Your Majesty, I feel wronged. Yan Sihan is the one left behind by your father. Your uncle has no real power now, so he naturally has to give in." The Queen Mother comforted him.

"But Queen Mother! Is it possible that my sons and ministers will have to listen to the regent in the future? My sons and ministers are the kings of a country!"

The Queen Mother's face also became serious, and she said in a deep voice: "If the regent is not removed, it will be difficult for you, my prince, to control the affairs of the state! Just listen to your uncle's arrangements. Get rid of the regent and it will be just around the corner."

Hearing this, Yan Anzhi nodded in agreement, and then said with dissatisfaction: "The Regent has left all today's memorials to his ministers. If I have to handle everything, what else will the Regent do?"

"You are the emperor, you can do whatever you want, and don't do anything you don't want to do." These words came from the Queen Mother's consolation.

When Yan Anzhi heard this, he still felt that something was wrong. If he really didn't manage it, the regent would investigate him one day and have to reprimand him severely.

His face turned bitter for a moment. It was really humiliating to have to listen to the regent's instructions even though he was the emperor!

He stood up and said: "Mother, there are many things going on today, so I will leave now and come back to accompany my mother another day."

"Well, go ahead." The Queen Mother nodded with a warm smile.

After the emperor left, Aunt Fang took the initiative and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is still filial."

In this regard, the Queen Mother was just indifferent: "What's the use of being filial? After all, he is not a son born to the Ai family."

Aunt Fang also understood this. The Queen Mother was infertile when she was a queen. When she reached forty, the imperial concubine became favored and became arrogant, and her position as queen was in turmoil.

In order to protect the position of the queen, she took a fancy to a nobleman who was born as a palace maid. When she was pregnant and expected to give birth, she left her mother and kept her son by her side.

Only then could she keep her position as queen in turmoil.
