"Mother, the prince does have a childlike mind. Don't worry, just teach him slowly. Maybe when the prince inherits the throne, he will be more mature and steady!" Grandma Pei said from the side.
Although she felt that the King of Wei had been spoiled by the Queen Mother in an inappropriate manner, as a slave who had served the Queen Mother for many years, Grandma Pei knew what to say and what not to say.
The King of Wei is the Queen Mother's counterpart. She can teach the King of Wei a lesson herself. If others dare to say something bad about the King of Wei, then just wait for death.
Once upon a time, there was a palace maid who thought she was the Queen Mother's confidant. When the King of Wei was a child, she once advised the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother doted on the King of Wei too much, and if things went on for a long time, something big might happen.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything at the time, but two months later, she suddenly released her from the palace to get married, and even gave her a marriage herself. It seemed like a great grace, and even Grandma Pei thought so at the time.
As a result, within a year, the palace maid died. As for the reason? It was said that her husband was drunk and accidentally killed the man.
Shojue told Nanny Pei that the matter must be related to the Queen Mother.
In order to survive, those who serve closely are very careful about every word they say.
Of course, as long as you follow the Queen Mother's wishes, you can save your head.
"Yes, once he inherits the throne, the burden on his shoulders will be heavy. The Ai family can't believe that he is still as idle as he is now!" The Queen Mother said with a sigh of relief.
She always believed that her son was still young and it didn't matter if he was more romantic and cheerful. When he got older, he would eventually restrain himself.
"But having said that, the emperor really cares about the queen. As soon as he heard that the queen was at the Ai family, he hurried over, as if he was afraid that the Ai family would bully her." The queen mother sneered.
"It is rare for the Emperor to be attracted to a woman. In addition, due to his poor health, he cannot consummate the marriage with the Queen. He must feel guilty in his heart. He must be nicer to the Queen to compensate." Grandma Pei thought about it for a moment and said.
"Do you really think that the Queen is still in perfect condition?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Yes." Grandma Pei nodded.
"In my humble opinion, the Emperor and the Queen should not lie about this matter."
"What a pity." The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "The Ai family had already arranged everything, but the emperor disrupted it."
The Queen Mother had long ago asked Nanny Pei to call over the two extremely experienced nuns in the palace. She originally planned to ask the two nuns to examine Meng Shu on the grounds that she was concerned about Meng Shu's health, but she failed to do so.
"Empress, the Empress has strong martial arts and medical skills. She may not be fooled, and she will not be subdued. If she discovers something abnormal, those two nuns can't do anything to her." Aunt Pei said quickly.
Having said that, the Queen Mother also planned to give it a try and use her status to pressure others, and maybe Meng Shu would agree.
However, it is too late to say this now.
"The Ai family does all this so that Hui'er can successfully inherit the throne. Over the years, the Ai family has been worried about him, but he has been careless and has no formal status. If the Ai family is no longer there one day, what will happen to the bastard? Is that good?" the Queen Mother sighed.
"Your Majesty is in your prime, at the peak of the sun. You can protect His Highness the King of Wei for another thirty to fifty years, until your grandson ascends the throne and inherits the throne from generation to generation..." Aunt Pei quickly complimented her. .
The Queen Mother felt much more comfortable after hearing this, and said to Nanny Pei: "Keep an eye on the Emperor and the Queen. For some reason, ever since the Queen entered the palace, the Ai family has always been uneasy, as if something big is going to happen, but this time Everything was calm in the palace and in the previous court, nothing unusual happened, but the more it was like this, the more uneasy the Ai family felt. "
Aunt Pei nodded quickly: "Please rest assured, I will not let you down."
"That Meng Shu is really not easy. Not only does she control the emperor very well, but the female guards and maids she brought into the palace are also very powerful. They guard Fengyi Palace like an iron bucket. The Ai family asked you to arrange it. People who go in don’t have a chance to do anything.”
When Meng Shu entered the palace, in addition to the female guards and maids she brought with her, the maids and eunuchs who had been sent to the British government to serve her also stayed in Fengyi Palace.
In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent some rude maids and young eunuchs. Although there were only eight people in total, there were many internal agents inserted by others.
Unfortunately, everything is under Meng Shu's control.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to add some spices to her meals to prevent Meng Shu from actually consummating her marriage with the emperor and having children in the future.
As a result, the people she sent just couldn't find a chance to take action.
Because of this, the Empress Dowager became a little anxious and made arrangements for today. Unfortunately... all her efforts were in vain.
At the same time, in Fengyi Palace, the emperor was drinking tea with Meng Shu.
The meals in the Queen Mother's Palace were a little greasy and salty, and mostly consisted of big fish and meat. Today, they also ate bear paws and sea cucumbers. Meng Shu and the emperor were not used to it. After returning to Fengyi Palace, Meng Shu asked people to drink them. Tea that understands tiredness and quenches thirst.
"Does the Queen Mother like this kind of food every day?" Meng Shu asked.
If you eat like this all year round, you will not only gain weight easily, but also get sick. Meng Shu has studied medicine since she was a child and has excellent medical skills, so she naturally understands these things very well.
Her grandmother had always paid attention to her diet. As she got older, she even deliberately told the maids and cooks around her to reduce salt and oil.
Because of this, although my grandmother has some minor ailments, she is still in good health.
If the Queen Mother continues to eat like this, something big will definitely happen.
The emperor raised his hand slightly when he heard this, and Wang Fusheng, who was standing on one side, quickly went out with the eunuchs and maids waiting on his left and right, including those around Meng Shu.
"The Queen Mother likes meat. She has been like this since she was young. When the late Emperor was here, she kept her mouth shut for the sake of her slim figure. In the past few years since she became the Queen Mother, she no longer has so many scruples. However...the imperial doctor said that she was born with a spleen and stomach. If you are weak, you won’t gain weight easily if you eat, so it doesn’t matter if you eat more.”
After the emperor finished speaking, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "Your master has refined a lot of beauty elixirs for the Queen Mother a few days ago, and some are tonics for regulating the body. The Queen Mother used them very well, so she sang a poem. Not broken.”
Meng Shu had already heard the hidden meaning in the emperor's words.
"She is the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Hospital naturally has her confidants. Although she trusts your master very much, the elixirs and tonics she needs to take will definitely be checked by the Imperial Doctor, and they will be checked again and again to make sure that nothing is wrong before they are taken. It was almost impossible to poison her, and it would easily expose your master, so your master added some medicine to the beauty pills and body conditioning tonics. On the surface, they looked very good to the queen mother, but they actually made her appetite. I’m very open, and I especially like to eat big fish and meat, which are greasy and flavorful.”
"In this case, even if you don't take action, the Queen Mother may not have a few years to live." Meng Shu said.
The Queen Mother has become much mellower these days, which is visible to the naked eye.
