Chapter 259
Speaking of this, the queen mother couldn't help sighing: "It's just that as a wife, you have to watch your husband doting on other women. It feels uncomfortable in your heart. This is also the greatest sorrow of being a queen."

Linglong said thoughtfully: "No matter how hard it is, you have to bear it. Whoever makes a concubine a queen now, to be a regular wife must be tolerant."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Yes, to be a regular wife, one must be tolerant. It's really not worth it to waste one's life's glory for nothing because of those vicious sons and the emperor."

Linglong thought to herself: "The key point of the way of balance mentioned by the Empress Dowager is in the word 'many', but it is still not thorough enough. Letting a hundred flowers bloom in the harem is not just to prevent a certain concubine from being the only one, becoming a favored concubine and shaking the queen's position. , more importantly, if there are more concubines who are like wolves and tigers, hungry and thirsty for heaven's grace and rain, they will be able to hollow out the emperor even more. Only a short-lived queen can become a queen mother. Otherwise, if she lives as long as a pig's hoof, no matter how stable the queen's position is, it will be difficult to become a queen mother. This coincides with my own idea of ​​using Wei Yanwan to arrange pheasants for the emperor .”

The queen mother said again: "In addition to balancing the harem and increasing the number of concubines, it is also very important, that is, don't take the harem too seriously."

Linglong was puzzled and said: "The position of empress is incomparably noble, once someone doesn't value it, the concubine finally becomes the empress, but the queen mother asks the concubine not to care too much about the latter, why is that?"

The Empress Dowager said meaningfully: "Standing on a wall, you can be strong without desire. If you care too much about the back position, it is tantamount to exposing your weakness, and it will let others take advantage of it and harm you."

Linglong said: "But if you don't care about the posthumous position, what should you do if there is a concubine who favors and monopolizes power and then shakes the posthumous position?"

The queen mother said: "As long as you master the way of balance mentioned earlier, it will not be easy for a favorite concubine to appear. Even if there is a favorite concubine, it is not a big deal. In the past dynasties, even if there is a favorite concubine who monopolizes power, making the queen's position unstable, then It's just unstable, and only the emperor can really shake the throne."

"The most typical example is Empress Xiaozhen Wang of the Ming Dynasty. Her husband Chenghua Emperor doted on his 17-year-old nanny Concubine Wan Gui. Shi can't make it through."

"Wang sees through Wan's intentions, and unlike her confrontation, treats her indifferently, and handles things coldly, so that the queen mother is satisfied and the emperor can't find any faults to abolish her. Concubine Wan Gui has nothing to do with her, and finally saves her. After taking the post, from the queen all the way to the empress dowager."

Linglong was thoughtful: "What does Auntie mean, that I want my concubines to be like the Queen, to be calm in situations, to deal with them indifferently, to satisfy the Emperor, and to not find any faults, so that I can keep my position?"

The queen mother nodded slightly: "That's right, if the emperor can't find the slightest mistake, no one can shake your post. After all, abolishing the queen is an act of immorality. Now the emperor is a person who cherishes face. If he hadn't come to a dead end, he wouldn't have abolished you."

Immediately, she smiled and said: "Of course, there is Aijia, even if he wants to abolish the empress, Aijia will not agree, so you just need to be yourself."

 I remember that in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", as the queen mother, Niu Hulu Huanhuan said to Ruyi in the cold palace: "Aijia doesn't like that there is only one flower in the palace that blooms brightly, and the blooming of hundreds of flowers is the real three springs." Great view."

  A simple sentence, but it has exhausted the true meaning of how to be a good queen, but it is a pity that Ruyi is too affectionate, wisdom will be hurt, love is deep and lifeless, too much affection, too caring, and it is exposed The weakness is an opportunity for others to take advantage of.
