Chapter 339: The Substitute's Past
Lin Junxue nodded slightly
"The Queen Mother has just returned to the palace, and what she wants to take back the most is the power that she cares about the most. Now, someone has taken the initiative to join her, so the Queen Mother is naturally happy. The Queen Mother has returned to the palace, so there must be something to be happy about."
Qiao Xin nodded
"Your Highness is right. The Queen Mother will definitely recruit Eunuch Wang, the newly promoted Chief of the Jingshifang, to serve her."
Lin Junxue curled her lips. The Queen Mother now urgently needs to cultivate confidants.
Then I will send these confidants to her one by one, so that she can save some energy, which can be regarded as a "filial piety"
the other side
Ci'an Palace
After the Queen Mother returned, she looked at the long-lost, newly renovated Ci'an Palace.
If this was arranged by someone else, she would be in a better mood, but when she thought that it was arranged by Lin Junxue, she felt even worse.
After washing up, Nanny Wu looked at the empress dowager who looked unhappy and served her tea.
"Queen, please drink some tea and calm down."
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, her face grim.
"It's only been three years, how come the emperor treats me like this? Today, I returned to the palace, and the emperor looked down on me and Princess Huan'er in public. I have worked hard to support him to ascend the throne for so many years. If it weren't for me, how could the late emperor look at a prince like him and pass the throne to the emperor? But look at how the emperor treated me today."
Aunt Wu looked at the angry Queen Mother and sighed.
She had been serving the Empress Dowager since she was a child. After the Empress Dowager entered the palace, she was favored by the late Emperor for decades. How could she have ever suffered such injustice?
After the Emperor ascended the throne, he also respected the Empress Dowager very much.
If it weren’t for the incident of the eldest princess three years ago, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had a quarrel.
Why is the relationship so distant now? It is not something that others can easily stir up.
Aunt Wu's words are heartfelt
"Queen Mother, it has been three years now, and the Emperor has become somewhat estranged from you. The most urgent task now is for you to awaken the Emperor's mother-son love for you. This is the most important thing. As long as the Emperor treats you the same as before, you are still the most honorable person in the harem. You have been ill for many years, why bother about those trivial matters and hurt your body?"
A hint of coldness flashed across the queen mother's eyes.
"You are right. Today, I was angry for a moment. After all, the emperor is the child I raised. I know what is going on. Today, do you see any changes in the queen?"
Aunt Wu nodded
"Queen Dowager, don't you think that the Queen's performance today seems to be the same as before? However, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't put it into words. Just look at the fact that the Queen is in favor, and you know that she is not a simple person now. Queen Dowager, we can't be careless. But for the time being, since the Queen is in favor, let's wait and see. It is most important to ease the relationship between you and the Emperor first."
The Queen Mother said, "Well, I'll listen to you. However, since I'm back in the palace, the power of the harem must be taken back as soon as possible. It belongs to me, and no one can take it away from me."
The maid came in and knelt down
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother, the Chief of the Jingshifang, Eunuch Wang is waiting outside."
The Queen Mother frowned, "Where did Eunuch Wang come from? Where is Zhu Qingren?"
"Your Highness, Eunuch Zhu suddenly fell ill last month and died overnight. This Eunuch Wang is the newly appointed Chief of the Jingshifang."
The Queen Mother paused.
"Newly appointed?"
Nanny Wu immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant and leaned forward.
"My Queen, I will find out the details of this new Chief Steward Wang and see if I can use him for your benefit."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction
"Okay, let him in."
Soon
A young eunuch followed the palace maid and walked in, kneeling on the ground and respectfully greeting.
"Your servant Wang Chu pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and good health."
The Queen Mother said, "You, raise your head."
Wang Chu slowly raised his head
Next second
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, and Nanny Wu's face also changed drastically.
Zhonghe Palace
Danzhen walked quickly into the courtyard and saw Lin Junxue standing next to the fish pond.
"Your Majesty, the people have arrived at Ci'an Palace. Now, the Queen Mother has met with Eunuch Wang."
Lin Junxue continued to feed the fish without raising her head.
"Well, the Queen Mother should like this gift very much."
After all, in this world, no one is more like that man than Wang Chu.
A man whom the Queen Mother could not forget since she was in the boudoir.
Unfortunately, he died young and died an untimely death, becoming the eternal regret and white moonlight in the heart of the Queen Mother.
The power of first love is not small
See, when the Queen Mother entered the palace, the late Emperor thought that she loved him deeply.
In fact, the late emperor was just the empress dowager, a substitute that she could not get.
Most of the people who knew this secret are dead. Coincidentally, there is still one person who knows it, and that is Lin Wei.
Back then, the man was Lin Wei's brother, and the two had a deep brotherly love.
Lin Wei said in the letter that the man was also a brilliant and talented person, but unfortunately he fell ill and died early.
The Queen Mother thought that no one knew about her relationship with this man.
Unfortunately, Lin Wei actually happened to see the two of them hugging each other.
For so many years, Lin Wei has kept it in his heart and never told anyone.
If Lin Junxue hadn't sent a letter saying that the Queen Mother wanted to kill her
I'm afraid that Lin Wei, a man who values trust and loyalty, would never tell Lin Junxue the secret that the Queen Mother has hidden for many years.
Lin Junxue curled her lips
Sure enough, this cliché of Bai Yueguang's first love has existed since ancient times.
Life is a huge scam!
The late emperor was played around by the empress dowager and doted on her for decades.
If she knew, the empress dowager was attracted by her because her face resembled the man of her dreams, and that’s why she entered the palace and became a concubine.
If the late emperor knew the truth, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life from the imperial mausoleum.
Now, Wang Chu, the person she had carefully selected.
He looked almost exactly like the man when he was young. She was really curious about how the Queen Mother would react.
In the future, how should the Queen Mother promote Wang Chu?
Lin Junxue said again, "Tomorrow, have the Ministry of Internal Affairs send some palace maids and eunuchs to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is worth a fortune, so we can't be careless about the people who serve her. Let Xiao Cheng carefully select them and send them to the Queen Mother for her to choose."
Guyu said, "My lady, I will arrange it right away."
Qiao Xin came forward
"Your Majesty, today, the Emperor didn't give face to the Queen Mother and the Princess because of you. I'm afraid they will be even more jealous of you. However, I think you haven't shown any changes in your temperament today, so the Queen Mother should not be suspicious for the time being."
Lin Junxue smiled
"Jealousy? Even if today's incident hadn't happened, it would have been inevitable. However, the Queen Mother and Nanny Wu beside her should have begun to be wary of me. Now, the Queen Mother should be anxious about how to repair her relationship with the Emperor, and she doesn't have time to deal with me for the time being."
Today, the Queen Mother was only temporarily irritated by Xie Yu's attitude. Now, she should have reacted.
If you don't doubt her, you wouldn't be the champion of the last palace fight.
However, there is one more thing, which is also quite interesting.
She discovered that Nanny Wu, who was beside the Empress Dowager, was no easier to deal with than the Empress Dowager and was also a difficult person.
What's more interesting is
Why is the always arrogant princess so obedient to Nanny Wu?
