Chapter 219 The Queen Cries
Chapter 219 The Queen Cries
"Mama, mother." It was just a simple address, but the queen's voice was already choked with sobs.
Seeing her daughter like this, Gabula's wife felt extremely distressed, but because of the old wife's previous instructions, she dared not move.
The queen knew at a glance that her mother had not been having a good time recently. It had always been like this. Although her mother was the eldest son's wife, she was not as respected as her uncle's (Soetu) wife in the Hesheli family.
Fortunately, I became the queen and gave birth to a legitimate son. With my support, my mother could finally stand up straight. However, now, everything has returned to the way it was before.
The queen felt very upset, but she still needed the help of the Hesheli family and could not show her dissatisfaction at this moment.
"Ma, granddaughter, my granddaughter has such a hard life!"
"You are so stupid! You are the queen, the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty. How can you live a hard life? If your words were heard by His Majesty or the Empress Dowager, what would they think? They would think that you are not satisfied with the position of queen!"
The queen's face turned pale. She didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to use the self-torture trick to make Mama soften her heart. However, she didn't expect to be blocked by the other party.
The queen quickly adjusted her state, smiled miserably, and then said: "His Majesty has long been alienated from his granddaughter. Even if his granddaughter says something outrageous, I'm afraid he won't care."
"How could this be?" The old lady was shocked and angry. She knew that the queen must be having a hard time in the palace, but she had never imagined that the situation had become so bad.
"Why not? Mama doesn't know how much His Majesty favors the one in the Yanxi Palace. She had already framed my granddaughter at the flower viewing banquet, leaving her speechless. She dared to do this in public, and I don't know how many bad things she said about my granddaughter behind her back."
The old lady's face was full of suspicion, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. If it weren't for that incident, how could Sony pass away so soon? But until now, the queen still denied it.
The Queen smiled bitterly when she saw this, "Madam, I admit that my hands are not clean for Chenghu, but why would I be so stupid as to leave Chengqing, a healthy prince, alone and instead take action against a baby whose gender is unknown."
this......
What the queen said was indeed reasonable, but there was something strange about this matter. However, at that time, the rumor was so popular that even if it was false, it became true. However, the reason why so many people believed it was that the old lady suddenly thought of something.
"It was because His Majesty was ambiguous at that time, yet he firmly defended your position as Queen, that the court officials believed your evil deeds. Could it be that His Majesty did it on purpose?"
The old lady's heart began to beat rapidly. If this was really the plan of His Majesty, he must hate their Hesheli family so much that their family would probably be doomed, let alone turn the situation around.
The queen comforted him, "With your thunderous means, if you really want to attack the Hesheli family, why would you use such a roundabout way. At that time, Nara mentioned her granddaughter... He really believed what Nara said, but he didn't want to do anything to his granddaughter.
It's just a pity that other people in the palace stirred up trouble and spread the news widely. Everyone in the court knew about it. And because they believed that their granddaughter was not innocent and could not find out the truth to clear her suspicion, they spoke up to defend her. "
In fact, the Queen did not completely believe in Kangxi, and she once speculated whether this was a trick performed by His Majesty and Nara clan.
But at this moment, it is obvious that the queen cannot say this, she needs to increase her own value.
"Ma, you don't know that my granddaughter is unwilling to accept this. The Emperor and I were once a loving couple. At first, even though he was dissatisfied with his granddaughter's scheme against the concubines, he didn't say anything.
He just opened his heart to his granddaughter and assured her that she was his wife and his only queen. But now, those seductresses have intervened to alienate the relationship between his granddaughter and His Majesty, and the only word left is "Queen."
The Queen seemed to be crying about how she and Kangxi had gone from being a loving couple to becoming strangers, but she was actually telling the people of Hesheli's family indirectly that His Majesty loved her very much, and even if their feelings were no longer the same, she was still special in His Majesty's heart.
At this point, the old lady finally believed it and understood the meaning of the queen's words. Her expression softened a lot. "So that's how it is. I said that the flower viewing banquet was very different from your style of doing things. It was actually a deliberate false accusation by the concubine."
Others also spoke up to agree. No matter how dissatisfied they were, the queen was still the queen, and they would not slap each other in the face.
"How dare a mere concubine to murder the Empress? She deserves death."
"He is just relying on his belly to show off. With such an arrogant personality, I don't know how he will die in the future."
"This lowly servant from a bannerman family is truly cunning."
……
Not only people from the Queen's family were present, but also the Queen's principal wife. Regardless of their closeness or stance, none of them would like a favored and restless woman like Concubine Hui.
Therefore, they all criticized Concubine Hui together, but deliberately did not mention that it was the Queen who killed the child in Concubine Hui's belly first, and it was also the Queen who killed Chengqing not long ago.
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, the old lady knew that they were using Concubine Hui to vent their dissatisfaction with the girls in her husband's backyard, so she had to interrupt them and focus on the business.
"I understand the difficulties faced by the Queen, and I also know that Concubine Hui is not a good person, but the Queen must not be blinded by these trivial matters."
The queen was a little unhappy. What was a trivial matter? If she lost favor and became infamous because of a concubine, it was a trivial matter, then why should the Hesheli family be dissatisfied with her because of such a trivial matter?
It's just that the knife did not fall on them, it's just that they only want to bear the benefits but are unwilling to share the risks, it's just that they take advantage of the glory when they are in glory but avoid it when they are in disgrace.
The Queen did not show her confusion on her face and asked, "What did Mama say?"
"Of course it's the one from Zhongcui Palace."
"As for her, Mama, you don't have to worry. Ma Jia is nothing to worry about." The Queen looked relaxed, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of disdain.
"Your Majesty! How could you be so careless!" The old lady was somewhat dissatisfied. The Queen was already in deep trouble, yet she was still so arrogant. No wonder she lost so miserably.
But for the future of the Hesheli family, the old lady suppressed her impatience, broke the matter down and explained it clearly to the queen.
"No matter how charming Concubine Hui is, Prince Chengqing is dead and she has lost her support. She has to rely on the baby in her belly, whose gender is unknown. Not to mention whether she can give birth or grow up, even if she is lucky, it is not too late to make plans."
The Queen frowned. She regarded Concubine Hui as her greatest enemy, but Mammy didn't care about her. "Mammy, you don't know how much influence she has on His Majesty. If it weren't for her, His Majesty wouldn't..."
"My Queen!" The old lady was a little helpless, knowing that at this time, her granddaughter still couldn't let go. "You are the Queen, you should not care about the Emperor, the most important thing is the East Palace!"
"Besides, even if her seductive skills are so powerful that she can really confuse the emperor, don't forget that the Grand Empress Dowager is still here. She will definitely not allow Nara to do whatever she wants, and the civil and military officials in the court will not agree to it."
The Queen thought that Mama's words were too light. She had not lived in the palace, so how could she know how important His Majesty's intentions were. As for the Empress Dowager, if she was really willing to suppress them, why would the La family be so arrogant?
But the queen also understood that she could not convince Mama. If she continued to talk, Mama would only think that she was still expecting the emperor's unrealistic love.
"My granddaughter understands, but my granddaughter and the Yanxi Palace have become mortal enemies. There is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence. It is better to prevent the trouble from happening again."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction. Her original intention was to let the queen pay attention to the one in Zhongcui Palace, but it did not mean that she would really ignore Yanx Palace.
"Gong Zhongcui is now a concubine. You should know that in the palace, except for the queen and her, everyone else is just a concubine. Besides, the queen has only one child, but Gong Zhongcui already has two princes."
"Ma Ma, you don't know that Rongpin did give birth to two princes, but upon closer inspection, neither of them was useful."
"What do you mean?" The old lady realized that there must be something she didn't know. If this was true, it would be a great joy.
