The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Empress Dowager Qin had just sent Princess Hong'an away when she turned her head and heard that the servants in Qingyuan Palace were asking to see her.

After watching the performance-style retelling of the servants and rewarding them generously, the Queen Mother Qin's reaction was completely different from what the emperor had expected.

"The sixth lady of the Sheng family is really ugly!" She snorted, "Brother Xun is his elder, but she dared to resent her for exposing her hypocrisy! No wonder I and Concubine Wen don't like it." Ah! Although the Sheng family says that only Sister Yuan is the best, the other girls are also very good, but such a ruthless thing has lowered the standards of the girls of the Sheng family."

Aunt Qi took it for granted that she listened to the empress dowager's eccentric remarks, and silently sighed for the emperor. The good show that the emperor thought was impossible to happen. In the eyes of the empress dowager, Marquis Yongxing could not be wrong.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qi couldn't help feeling that Marquis Yongxing wasn't easy, and he didn't grow crooked.

Then, she thought of Sister Yuan from Yongxing Hou, and couldn't help smiling.

Their father and daughter are really in the same line, they are extremely favored, and they both have good conduct.

"Aqi! Aqi!" The Empress Dowager Qin's call dissipated Aunt Qi's thoughts.

Aunt Qi hurriedly smiled and said what she just thought.

When the Queen Mother heard the words, she nodded her head as a matter of course: "No, they are all good boys!"

When it came to the eldest son Huaiyan committing suicide, the Empress Dowager Qin skipped the passage with tears in her eyes, and said softly with sobs: "...the first emperor was angry, and cited dozens of crimes against Taifu Lu, ordering him to punish him. Send his whole family away, and from then on, the Lu family, which has been famous for decades and has nine scholars in one school, no longer exists."

Aunt Qi saw that the queen mother was crying for the former prince, but she didn't dare to say more, for fear that she would remember the past.

Empress Dowager Wen assigned two more palace servants to Sheng Han, and Sheng Han had no objection to this.

"It doesn't seem to be common. The gate of the palace is only opened once every ten days, and the maid in charge occasionally takes the palace staff to pick some flowers and plants."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager Qin looked at the handrail unhurriedly, "Do people from Anluan Palace come out often?"

Ordinarily, as the prince's teacher, he should be a good student to teach the prince and let him secure his wife and concubine; but because he wanted to show his loyalty to the prince, he followed the meaning of the banquet and tried to abolish the prince in the name of Hong'an childless!How could the first emperor not hate him? "

"The former emperor was also very angry. When his anger dissipated, he couldn't help regretting it. Concubine Wen Taigui mentioned that the emperor blamed himself. If he hadn't promoted Taifu Lu to be the prince's tutor, I am afraid that their monarchs and ministers would not have come to this day." This is also the reason why the former emperor did not allow the emperor to make peace with Lu Shi, and let Lu Shi be the empress."

Aunt Qi paused: "The scenery in the back garden of the imperial palace is excellent, and it is far away from the east and west palaces. It is a very quiet and elegant place. There is only one nearby, Anluan Palace, which is the place for the empress to practice."

But after laughing, I couldn't help sighing with regret: "At that time, when the Taifu's young girl was famous in the capital, and she stood side by side with the emperor, who would not say that she was a beautiful woman? But I didn't want to change the times. One of them became the emperor and the other became the queen, but when they came to [this life] See you no more, to the point where I regret seeing you again.”

When the Empress Dowager Qin mentioned this, she shook her head helplessly: "Although the late emperor was kind, but in this matter, he was ruthless in the places that should not be ruthless, and the places that should be ruthless are exceptionally gentle."

After Aunt Qi finished speaking, she added: "That day happened to be the day when the gate of Anluan Palace was opened, and Liu Niang of the Sheng family met the nanny in charge who led the palace staff to pick flowers and plants from a distance, but they didn't speak, and separated from each other. Kong saluted, and went back separately."

The Queen Mother Qin narrowed her eyes: "How many palaces are there near the back garden?"

Aunt Qi didn't bother seeing this, and continued to knock on the nuts quietly.

After she finished speaking, she asked Aunt Qi: "You send someone to keep an eye on the sixth lady of the Sheng family, I want to see how ambitious she is?"

The Empress Dowager Qin wanted to frown: "She can restrain herself like this? It's because Aijia underestimated her before."

Seeing the Empress Dowager was very sad, Aunt Qi couldn't help comforting her repeatedly: "This is neither the fault of the emperor nor the fault of the empress, I can only say helplessness!"

The Empress Dowager Qin sneered and said: "If there is really one party at fault, it can only be the fault of the late Emperor and Grand Tutor Lu!
The first emperor naively thought that promoting Huaiqian's father-in-law to be the teacher of the prince Huaiyan would bring their brothers closer and make Huaiqian the arm of Huaiyan. , alienated Huaiqian!On the contrary, it made the indifference between their brothers more and more.

Aunt Qi nodded: "Of course I remember. At that time, people who didn't know thought that Baoxianghou Lu's family and Tai Fu's Lu's family belonged."

It didn't take long to see Sheng Xiangxun, the little maid who followed Sheng Han that day, caught cold and moved out of the palace to recuperate.

After Aunt Qi agreed, she went to Tai'an Palace in person.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with emotion of memories: "Aqi, do you still remember that when the queen was drafting, there was a saying in Kyoto that 'civil and military confront each other, and both of them shine'?"

Aunt Qi didn't express her opinion, and continued to say what she asked: "However, the sixth lady of the Sheng family didn't go directly back to Tai'an Palace on the day she lost her composure. Instead, she went around the back garden to pick flowers and plants."

Aunt Qi knocked on the nuts and said to the Queen Mother: "Probably because Yongxing Hou was so angry that time, he showed some clues, but after going back, he was still as usual, and he didn't seem to be angry."

Later, the child Huaiyan listened to Yun's and Liang's instigation, and distanced himself from Hong'an and got close to his concubine's house. How many times did the first emperor anger Grand Tutor Lu because of this.

The Empress Dowager Qin sat up straight on the cushion and looked out of the window silently.

……

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager Qin mediated very well, but returned to normal after a moment of silence.

Aunt Qi listened to the Queen Mother silently, but refused to answer a word.

The Empress Dowager Qin couldn't help laughing when she thought about how stupid the emperor was at that time, and sent the young Taifu girl she met by chance to the Baoxiang Hou's Mansion.

"The little maid said that the sixth mother of the Sheng family is very cautious. Although she often jokes with them, she refuses to trust anyone. She has never said anything inappropriate, let alone lost her temper with them."

The Empress Dowager Qin didn't point her finger at her to express her opinion, instead she sighed and said, "The emperor is still trustworthy. After all, he didn't abolish the queen for Xie's sake. She was raised with good food, good drink and good treatment, but all the tributes were never given. Without her at all... I can only hope that she will be content, don't let her make things difficult for herself, the emperor, and me because of my dissatisfaction."

Although this remark feels a bit uncomfortable when standing up and talking, but if the Queen Mother of Qin is chosen, she would rather destroy her promise to the first emperor, and she would not like her sons and grandchildren to be schemed against.

When she really had to, she was afraid that she would remove the constraints herself.

Because of this awareness, the Queen Mother Qin hoped that Queen Lu could enjoy the peace as always.

"Ah Qi, people in Anluan Palace should pay more attention. Since there is no dispute with the world, there will be no dispute to the end."
