The ugliest queen ever

Chapter 53 Chapter 54
Listening to the little girls' endless compliments to Su Xueqing, Empress Dowager Han smiled and nodded in approval.
Su Xueqing, who felt quite dishonored, hurried forward to stop her: "Queen Mother, it's late at night, don't listen to their nonsense. It's windy and cold tonight. Go back to rest earlier. If the phoenix is ​​ill, we can take care of it." Sorry."
"The Ai family can't be so old and fragile, right?" The empress dowager Han's watery eyes were a little playful, and her delicate face of peerless elegance was even more charming under the moonlight.
This should not look like the expression that a woman who is almost 40 years old should have. Her skin is comparable to that of a 20-year-old girl.If it weren't for the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and this dignified and luxurious dress of the Queen Mother, it would be hard to imagine that she is really that old.
"The queen mother misunderstood, that's not what concubines mean..." Seeing her misinterpretation, Su Xueqing hurriedly lowered her head and explained.
Qing'er quickly followed up and said, "Yeah, your empress doesn't mean that. Queen Mother, you are always young, and now you seem to be full of vigor and vitality."
"That's right, the queen mother is one of the four beauties in Xidan, how can she be old?" Guoguo also agreed.
Hearing the compliments from these little girls, Han Guanyue showed a gratified and natural smile on his face.There was a rare blush on that jade-like face, and it was even more intoxicating and beautiful under the hazy moonlight.
Yes, what she looks like now seems to be back to many years ago.That radiant beauty, that invincible demeanor, and that star-studded posture all moved her heart.
After a long time, she shook her head reminiscingly, and sighed: "That's what happened in the past, getting old, getting old. You guys, you have small mouths, but you can really talk. It's right for me to say it again. Be happy."
"Hehe, it's not that we can talk, it's that you are the queen mother. Your appearance has never changed, and your skin is not old. If you walk with the emperor, no one will know, and you will be his sister!"
Seeing what Qing'er Guoguo said, Lu'er also scrambled to say: "Yeah, the Queen Mother is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, your beauty is like Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, with a holy beauty and a touch of kindness. .Like the sun, it shines on the warm beauty of the earth."
"Look at what you said. After all, I am just a mortal. I am invincible to the passage of time, and I can't compare to the ruthlessness of God. Now, I am really old. Oh, that's it, that's it. People, at this age, how can I not accept it? Old man! You guys are very talkative and well-behaved. You can spend more time with this old lady of the Ai family and chat more, but today. The Ai family has something to tell your mother, so you should step back first!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking in a detailed and friendly manner, the three little girls looked at each other with watery eyes.Then he nodded respectfully, blessed his body and said: "Yes, Empress Dowager."
Afterwards, the three of them looked at Su Xueqing the same way, and retreated timidly.However, at this time, Chu Yaofan, who had been sideways and silent all this time, also looked at Su Xueqing with a different look, and then left with everyone.
Su Xueqing, who was left alone, looked at the stars in the sky a little uncomfortably, and then turned her eyes to the two nuns beside the Queen Mother. Seeing that they didn't have any expressions, she looked at the Queen Mother Han.
Yes, she didn't know why the queen mother left her alone, but seeing the soft smile on her brow, she immediately felt relieved.
"Queen, do you have anything to tell me?"
Han Guanyue nodded with a slight smile: "Queen, from now on, I will leave Aijia's secret to you..."
"The queen mother?"
"In the future, the entire Xidan country will depend on you."
After Su Xueqing heard this, her heart was suddenly shocked, and she stared at that beautiful woman with a pleasant face full of disbelief.
"I..." Su Xueqing was about to say something, but she saw the faint candlelight shining on her frail and ethereal face, reflecting a faint halo, and for a moment there existed in her eyes like nothingness.
Empress Dowager Han's dark eyes like autumn water were full of earnest expectations. After a long time, she grasped her hand and said: "The Ai family will call you Qing'er. Qing'er, you are a smart person, you must know Ai's family the meaning of."
Su Xueqing's hands trembled slightly, but her heart was still full of horror after the aftershock.She said, "My queen, I'm afraid I can't do this."
Empress Dowager Han seemed a little excited and held her hand tighter: "Why?"
Although Su Xueqing was having a hard time opening her mouth, she still bit her lip and said: "The emperor now regards me as a thorn in his side, and always wants to get rid of me quickly. It is impossible for me and him to coexist."
"No, Aijia can see that you are a smart and kind child. It's just that Jue'er is young and frivolous, doesn't understand the advantages and disadvantages, and is still fascinated by appearances. Therefore, he didn't notice your kindness. Aijia believes that, He is not really stupid, in the future, in the future, he will definitely know how good you are."
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother Han's mouth trembled, and she shed a tear silently.
Qianjiao Baimei, who was standing beside the Empress Dowager Han like a sculpture, saw that the Empress Dowager Han was crying, she was like an ant in a heat disaster, and was at a loss what to do.
"The Empress Dowager..."
Empress Dowager Han raised her slender hands like green onions, and said in a deep voice, "Stand back."
After Qianjiao Baimei listened, she retreated a meter away wisely.
Su Xueqing had mixed feelings in her heart, and secretly sighed.This Empress Dowager Han is a good woman, with the demeanor of a mother of a country and a keen insight into people.At the same time, she is also a loving mother who is considerate and considerate of her son.It's a pity, how could Sikong Jue understand it?
"Queen Mother, in fact, there are some things that cannot be forced!" Maybe, even if her son is really not stupid or bad.However, it is difficult for even normal people to accept this appearance.What's more, a high-ranking emperor who is favored by thousands of people and has three thousand beauties in the harem?In this life, she definitely can't expect Sikong Jue to fall in love with her, so she can't spend her whole life with someone who doesn't love her. Although she looks ugly and fat in this life, no one can stop her from pursuing happiness that power.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Han felt a little sore in her heart, her eyes darkened, and she said in disappointment: "Qing'er, the Ai family knows that you are an independent child. From your temperament, the Ai family can tell that you don't like this place. If you insist on It's useless to force it. But, for the sake of Aijia's face and the fact that you are the mother of a country, please help me!"
"I...I...how can I help him? Besides, isn't he fine now? "
Su Xueqing stared at her fixedly, showing a look of powerlessness and helplessness.
The Empress Dowager Han shook her head, sighed softly, and said with deep eyebrows: "Now, it is said that the country is easy to fight, and the throne is difficult to sit on. In court, it seems that the weather is calm, but in fact it is now turbulent. Once, your father was alive. At that time, the military power was in your hands. Your grandfather was a veteran of the three dynasties, and no one in the dynasties disrespected you. It can be said that more than half of the entire Xidan belongs to your Su family, but because your Su family has no males, the late emperor rest assured to entrust it to your father. , thinking that the Su family only had one daughter, she accepted her as the queen. Therefore, the Su family and the royal family are originally a family, and there is no danger."
"Now, isn't it the same?"
"No, since your father died, although some of the military power has been in the hands of your brother-in-law, most of them have been returned to the court. That is to say, these troops have been controlled by others, and your grandfather is seventy-seven and old. Gao. Gradually unable to do what he wants in the affairs of the court, and the younger generations who came later have no respect. Therefore, his current position in the court has plummeted."
"Well, I seem to have heard from grandpa." Alas, she also knew that grandpa did this for himself.
Empress Dowager Han nodded painfully: "Therefore, his power in the court is gone. Naturally, someone wants to replace him, so the Ai family is now very worried about Jue'er."
"Queen? You mean..."
"That's right, the Dai family is now the emperor's head of state, and was posthumously named grand master by the minister. The power in the court is out of control. Right now, the two daughters are favored by each other. Relying on the emperor's favor, many officials secretly If this continues, Xidan will be destroyed in my son's hands."
Speaking of the last sentence, Empress Dowager Han's eyes once again burst into tears.Thinking of the time when her husband ruled the whole country with one hand, but now her son is about to lose it, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Su Xueqing saw it in her eyes, and said shyly: "I understand the queen mother's thoughts. But, the emperor's love for women is not always temporary. Once the novelty wears off, won't it be fine?"
"Wrong, if the Dai family takes the opportunity to expand their troops and secretly increase their generals during this period, they will be able to control Jue'er in the future. Surviving like a puppet, then this Xidan will be destroyed in name only."
"So, the Empress Dowager wants me to kill their ideas in the cradle when they are just formed?"
"Qing'er, your words are very sophisticated, but that's exactly what Aijia means."
"But, apart from this, what can I do? It's not that I won't help you, but that I'm just a piece of meat under your son's chopping board. You can slaughter if you want, and you can kill if you want. I don't even have the freedom to leave the palace. , what can you do to help!"
"Qing'er, as long as you give birth to a prince, the Ai family can appoint your son as their heir, and all this will become a big deal, as stable as Mount Tai."
"Halo, Empress Dowager, do you think it's possible for me to... and your son...?"
It's not that she, Su Xueqing, doesn't want to, it's that that kid Sikong Jue... so...she doesn't want to say more disgusting things.Rather, is the queen mother too naive?Or, is it too rich?
"Qing'er, you heard from the Ai family that you can use some means when necessary. The harem is like a swamp. If you want to protect yourself, you must stabilize your position and consolidate your position."
After hearing Han Guanyue's words, Su Xueqing suddenly felt that the empress dowager was not weak on the surface.Sure enough, women who have been in the harem are superior to ordinary people no matter what.Whether it is scheming or wrist, it is incomparable to ordinary people.It seems that she helped herself for a reason. She saw her potential, so she prevented Sikong Jue from hurting herself.
"Actually, don't blame the Ai family for having bad ideas, Qing'er, think it over clearly. If possible, the Ai family will definitely issue an order to let Jue'er..."
"Wait, I think it's better to be willing to do things like the Queen Mother. If you force me, it's no different from forcing a good girl into prostitution. Besides, he has hated me so much now. If you want to force him to do this kind of thing again, I think he will be very happy." Kill me. And it is impossible for me to have a child with him without love. In that case, the future child will not be loved by grandpa and grandma, so what can I do if I become a prince?"
Hearing Su Xueqing's open-minded and straightforward words, Empress Dowager Han was surprised at first, and then nodded approvingly: "Queen, I never thought you would have such thoughts. In the palace, how many women can live as they wish, and who can live as they wish?" It's not to win the emperor's favor, to survive, and to use all means to win the emperor's favor. Who cares, loves, or likes it?"
"I'm different from them, ma'am, it's better to slow down this kind of thing. It's impossible for me and the emperor..."
"Could it be, are you really unwilling to help the Ai family?" Suddenly, Han Guanyue's face once again showed a look of sadness and despair, which made Ying's fragile and delicate face even more pitiful.
Su Xueqing was in a dilemma for a while: "It's not that I don't want to help the empress, but that the method is wrong. Now, the emperor hates me, hates me, and won't even give up the palace, what can I do?"
"Well, the Ai family will give you an amnesty token now, you can use it to enter and leave the palace at any time without the emperor's will."
"what?"
"Anyway, in the future, Xidan Kingdom will be handed over to you. The Dai family will be under your control."
"Only by me?"
"No, these years, although the Ai family has never participated in political affairs. But for the sake of the emperor, the Ai family has secretly amassed an army. Among them, 1 people are carefully selected, all of them are strong and powerful, and have excellent martial arts. In addition, some Three thousand intelligence officers are also hidden. There are tens of thousands of generals who can be dispatched on the battlefield!"
"Ah, Queen Mother, you..."
"That's right, it's all up to you. From then on, the Ai family can really devote themselves to eating fast and reciting Buddha's name without asking about anything."
