Comprehensive experience of time and space

Xiaozhuang looked at him and said slowly: "Now, the Ai family is no longer involved in politics. The Ai family only wants to manage the harem. If the Ai family is still the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, she should have this right, right?"

These words were already heartbreaking. No matter how much Shunzhi had objections to her, he could not deprive her of the rights of the empress dowager. What's more, "not participating in politics" in exchange for managing the harem was the best thing for him. , no one will judge his decisions anymore, and he will be able to truly take charge...

Many years flashed through Shunzhi's mind. After all, he was the emperor. His joy at being in charge outweighed his anger at being unable to be promoted to Wu Yunzhu. He opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing more and walked away with a cold face.

As soon as Shunzhi left, Xiaozhuang issued an order to go to Chengqian Palace, remove Dong E's green head card from the concubine Dong E, and ordered her to concentrate on raising the fetus in Chengqian Palace, without having to pay respects, and return the Phoenix Seal to the queen.

Wu Yunzhu looked at Su Moer's smiling face and gritted her teeth tightly. If someone else came to deliver the order, she could still drag it out and ask the emperor to find a solution, but Su Mo'er was different. She was the empress dowager's number one confidant, and even the emperor had never looked down on her.

Forcing a smile on her face, Wu Yunzhu ordered the palace maid to hand over the Phoenix Seal and things related to the management of the palace to Su Mo'er, and said respectfully: "I also ask Aunt Su to thank the Queen Mother for her care on my behalf. It's just that I The nuns have been prepared here to take care of them, these four nuns..." She looked at the four people behind Su Mo'er who had the same expressions, and felt wary.

Su Mo'er lowered her head slightly and replied: "To return to the Concubine Xian, these four nuns behind me are proficient in medicine and medicine, and are very good at taking care of pregnant women and children. They were specially sent by the Queen Mother to take care of the empress. The Emperor said "Yes, he cherishes this baby very much, so the Queen Mother has a destiny to take care of her personally so that the little brother can be born safely."

Wu Yunzhu clutched the handkerchief, composed herself, and said with a smile: "So, thank you Queen Mother for taking the trouble."

Su Mo'er watched her salute in the direction of Cining Palace, and then she took the people back to Cining Palace with satisfaction.

Queen Naren sat beside Xiaozhuang's bed and asked uneasily: "Huang'e Niang, are you going to have a quarrel with the emperor? In fact, it doesn't matter."

Xiaozhuang was half lying on the bed, and patted her hand with a wry smile, "Silly boy, haven't the Ai family and the emperor already had a quarrel? The emperor, now he actually calls himself 'I' in front of the Ai family. The Ai family still What is there to look forward to? But you, now that Concubine Xian is pregnant, I have taken away her green card, so you must seize the opportunity to have a child yourself. "

Naren lowered his head, stirred the handkerchief in his hand, and responded in a low voice, "Yes, I understand."

Xiaozhuang had checked Naren's pulse without any trace before. His body was a little cold and his conditioning method was wrong, but it was not a big problem and he would be fine soon after taking her medicine. Although sixteen is still young, how much time can be wasted in this harem? The harem has been too lonely for decades. If Naren has a child, Naren will have someone to rely on and will not be hurt by Shunzhi's willful behavior.

She shook her head and called up Aunt Chen, and smiled at Naren: "This is Aunt Chen. She once served the beloved concubine of the previous dynasty. She not only knows how to fight for favors, but also knows how to take care of palace affairs. E Niang will send her to her today. I gave it to you, she is yours, you can use it with confidence. Naren, you also know the emperor's character. You don't need the emperor to pamper you, as long as he can stay in your palace a few times a month, and you will be pregnant. Your lucky."

Grandma Chen took two steps forward, saluted Naren, and said, "This slave bows before the master."

Naren was startled, and then she realized that Xiaozhuang was really thinking about her. She quickly stood up and helped Nanny Chen up with her own hands. She turned to look at Xiaozhuang and said with a smile: "My dear, thank you, the emperor. E Niang has planned so much for my son, I will not let Huang E Niang down. "

Xiaozhuang nodded, "You have done palace affairs before. If you have any difficulties or don't understand anything, just come and ask the Queen. This is something you will come into contact with every day from now on, and it is something you can hold in your own hands." Do it carefully and don’t let others take advantage of your rights.”

After Naren left with Nanny Chen, Su Moer hesitated for a moment and said, "Gege made such a decisive decision this time, I'm afraid the emperor will feel uncomfortable."

Xiaozhuang supported her hand and walked to the window, looked at the plum blossoms outside the window, sighed and said: "Suma, do you think the emperor is worried after I fainted this time? I married the late emperor when I was thirteen. , intrigues in the harem, and tried their best to ensure that he grew up safely, but the emperor expected his mother to be a kind and kind person. How naive and ridiculous? Since ancient times, emperors have experienced a lot of undercurrents when they were in charge. This emperor is not refuting me for the sake of the world, but refuting me because he is against me. I feel very sad!"

She waved her hand to stop what Su Mo'er wanted to say, "Suma, we have gone through ups and downs for decades, and how much hardship we have endured, outsiders will never be able to understand. Now that we are finally standing on this high place, I think It’s time to live for yourself.”

If anyone in the world loves Xiaozhuang the most, it must be Su Moer. She has accompanied Xiaozhuang step by step to the top of the harem, and her efforts have been incalculable. She smiled with relief, no longer tried to persuade Xiaozhuang, but said firmly: "No matter what Gege wants to do, Su Mo'er will always support you!"

Xiaozhuang laughed when he heard this. The resources left by the original owner were really rich, and she had confidants in the previous harem. When she no longer tolerated Shunzhi and was no longer soft-hearted, what leverage did Shunzhi have to fight against her? All he relied on in the past was his mother's love for him!

Xiaozhuang rested for a few more days and pretended to be recovering slowly. Shunzhi didn't come to pay his respects, and she never interfered in Shunzhi's affairs.

On this day, Shunzhi went to Chengqian Palace to relax after going to court, but his interest was disturbed by four nuns. The nuns said that Concubine Mingxian's pregnancy was unstable and she could not let him stay overnight. He wanted to have a seizure, but the old woman couldn't say anything. It's the truth, everything is focused on the fetus, leaving him no way to vent.

He left Chengqian Palace and wandered in the imperial garden. He thought about the good concubine raising the fetus, but he had no one to talk to about his concerns. He felt irritated. Then he thought about how his decrees in the court had been carried out smoothly recently. Indeed, as she said, she no longer participates in politics, and she feels physically and mentally comfortable.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard voices in the pavilion on the left. He turned his head and looked through the gaps in the branches. He saw a woman in palace clothes with her back to him, playing chess with him, and comparing the chess records in the book while playing. , still muttering something in his mouth.

The little maid next to the woman advised: "My dear, the wind has picked up, why don't you go back?"

The woman stared at the chessboard and shook her head, "Just give it a while, and the results will be out soon."

Shunzhi's interest was piqued and he heard the little palace maid calling her "Empress", so she should be his concubine. Why didn't he know that he had a concubine who could play chess? Wu Liangfu rolled his eyes, stepped forward and shouted: "The Emperor is here!"

The woman and the little palace maid were both startled, and immediately turned around and saluted Shunzhi. The woman lowered her head so quickly that Shunzhi didn't see who it was, so he walked up and said softly: "Lift your head and let me see."

The woman pursed her lips and slowly raised her head.

"Naren? How could it be you!" After seeing the woman's face clearly, Shunzhi's eyes flashed with surprise, but more of it was surprise. He looked at her up and down and felt that Naren was exceptionally beautiful today, with her pink palace The outfit made her look more feminine, and the smile on her face seemed to be more gentle than usual.

Naren glanced at the chessboard on the table, smiled and said: "To make the emperor laugh, today I saw a chess book in the small study, and was very interested in the chess game drawn on it. Thinking of the boredom in the room, she Come to the Royal Garden to play chess and enjoy the scenery.”

Xiaozhuang no longer interfered with his decisions, and he was a little more patient with the queen who was born in Horqin. She followed Naren's eyes and found to her surprise that Naren's chess skills were pretty good, "Naren can actually play How about a game of chess with me?"

Naren smiled and sat down opposite him, stretched out her hand to put away the black and white chess pieces, and said with a smile: "I am not good at studying. Your Majesty should let me be more careful."

The two of them started playing chess back and forth. Shunzhi loved Sinology, but there were not many concubines in the harem who could speak Chinese. He thought that no one except Wu Yunzhu could discuss Sinology with him, but unexpectedly his queen also Can speak Chinese and play Go. "Does Naren know how to recite poems and compose poems?"

"Naren doesn't know much about poetry. She remembers some famous lines, but she is unable to compose her own poems."

"Oh? Naren reads some poems and listens."

While playing chess, Na Ren softly recited the poems she had memorized. These days, she has been taught by Grandma Chen, and her voice and tone have changed, as well as her every move. Grandma Chen has carefully taught Shunzhi's preferences. After analyzing it to her, and combining the experience of the previous dynasty's beloved concubine and the situation in Shunzhi's harem, today's game was arranged. Naren had worked hard, she had suffered enough of the loneliness in her empty boudoir, and she could do it no matter how difficult it was to have a child.

After playing a game of chess, when Naren leaned over to pour tea for Shunzhi, suddenly the earring on her left ear fell to Shunzhi's feet.

Shunzhi picked up the earrings and helped her put them on, and praised, "Naren, you look so beautiful dressed like this today."

A blush suddenly flew over Naren's cheeks, and she lowered her head shyly, revealing a beautiful neck like white jade.

The beauty was so picturesque that Shunzhi moved his fingers and resisted the urge to hold her in his arms. He turned away and remembered the memory of getting along with Naren and Wu Yunzhu's grievance of being imprisoned in Chengqian Palace by Xiaozhuang, so he didn't stay anymore. He coughed slightly, stood up and said, "It's getting late. Naren should go back to the palace early. I have to review the memorial, so I won't accompany you."

Naren darkened her eyes in time, showing a hint of disappointment, lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, the emperor should also take care of himself."

Shunzhi paused, and then took Wu Liangfu back to Qianqing Palace. In his memory, Naren always had the childish and timid face she had when she got married. Later, when Naren grew up, he always thought she had a wooden face. , expressionless and unfeminine. Unexpectedly, it turned out that his queen also had such a gentle and gentle side, which was completely different from the Mongolian concubines in his palace.

Wu Liangfu had always been very thoughtful. When he saw that Shunzhi was interested in the queen, he made a mental calculation. In the past, the emperor had a concubine who could entertain him and relieve his boredom. However, since the concubine became pregnant, the emperor had no close friends to accompany him and was often bored. It's important, now judging from the Queen's behavior, she must be trying to win favor. The Queen is a member of the Queen Mother's tribe. If he helps the Queen secretly, maybe the Queen Mother won't have such a big objection to him! It doesn't matter who the emperor favors, but if the emperor, the queen mother and the empress are all happy, then his position will become more stable and his rewards will not be less!

Naren returned to the palace and said to Nanny Chen worriedly: "Is this really possible? Your Majesty, he does seem very happy, but he has no intention of coming to Chuxiu Palace."

Nanny Chen stepped forward and whispered back: "Master, there is no need to worry. As long as you submit to the emperor's will and make an impression on the emperor's mind, when he is free one day, he will be the first to think of master."
