Chapter 1, time travel
"Mother, please wake up."
Oops, my head hurts.
What's going on here?
Her eyelids were so heavy that she used all her strength to open them just a crack.
The large antique bed was decorated with carved dragons and phoenixes. It was somewhat valuable, but also very unfamiliar. She sat up subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, you're finally awake." Someone said in surprise, then turned to another girl and said, "Go and talk to the Queen Mother, and say that the Queen Mother is awake."
Your Majesty?? Imperial Physician?? No way?
Just when I was confused, memories that did not belong to me appeared in my mind.
She turned out to be Horqin Borjigit, the first queen of Emperor Shunzhi, the daughter of Prince Wu Keshan of Horqin Zhuoli Ketu, and the niece of Queen Xiaozhuang Wen.
Meng Guqing, who has a slight understanding of history, clearly knows that this queen was appointed by Dorgon for Fulin, so she was always ostracized by him, and was finally abolished because of some unfounded charges.
After being deposed, Wu Keshan originally wanted to take her away, but she loved the emperor and was willing to demote herself as a concubine and stay with the emperor. In the end, the emperor died in depression because of the death of Dong E, and she also died in love.
.
Did he actually dress like her?
How sad.
"My Lady, please be patient and don't be angry with yourself. The Emperor is the Emperor after all. He will accept whoever he wants to accept. Even if he accepts whoever he accepts, that person will not be able to surpass you."
She was jealous, and she had been married to the emperor for a year. Whenever the emperor flirted with that girl, she would get involved and cause trouble.
But now, knowing the outcome, she doesn't want to make a fuss.
She is the queen, and her aunt is the queen mother. The Qing Dynasty has been trying to win over the Mongolian nobles for hundreds of years. As long as she lives long enough, her life will definitely not be bad.
"May I have your name?"
"Empress, slave An Qier, you..." She looked at him in a panic, and then hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor.
Meng Guqing looked helplessly at the panicked expressions of these people.
She knew the current situation and didn't say anything.
The imperial doctor was standing guard outside, and soon an old man of considerable age came in.
"Old minister Qi Kun, I would like to ask the empress Jin An."
In order not to make mistakes, Meng Guqing said softly:
"Doctor Qi, there's no need to be polite. Get up quickly."
These words made Qi Kun confused. When did the queen in front of him become so polite? But he didn't think much about it, but stepped forward and said:
"Queen, please let me take your pulse."
Meng Guqing stretched out his hand and saw that he was about to squat down, so he said to Anqi'er: "Give me a seat."
Angel was also stunned. In the past, her master always asked the imperial doctor to kneel and take pulse, but she did not dare to object. Instead, she brought a low stool and placed it behind Qi Kun.
After that, An Qi'er put a silk handkerchief on Meng Guqing's wrist, and then Dr. Li put his hand on my wrist. When the doctor said that my mother is fine, An Qi'er and others breathed a sigh of relief.
They sent the imperial doctor away. When Angel saw the queen still sitting blankly, he stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything else that makes your queen uncomfortable?"
Meng Guqing shook his head.
Just when Angel was about to say something else, he heard voices outside.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
"Happy Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang? A famous and strange woman in history. She was trained throughout her life and assisted the two emperors Shunzhi and Kangxi. She was a great person.
At this moment, she felt like she was about to meet a great man. She felt nervous and couldn't help but stand up.
I saw a woman coming in with someone's help. She was about forty years old.
Wear fine clothes, don’t be angry and have authority.
She seemed to have a sullen look on her face, and when she came in and saw Meng Guqing, she seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"Queen, after making such a fuss with the Emperor, don't you want to recognize me as your mother-in-law?"
Who dares to do this?
It’s too late for me to curry favor with you.
"I met my aunt."
Seeing that she was not angry, on the contrary, her face was calm, as if she didn't know what was going on.
"Queen, you, the empress of the Qing Dynasty, why are you angry with a little girl? You don't mind losing your identity?"
Today, the emperor came to Kunning Palace to have dinner with the queen. The emperor and Hua Shuangzi said a few more words, which made the queen very jealous. When the emperor left, she would use the back foot to scold the palace maid. The emperor heard about it
, go back and argue with the queen.
They were all young and energetic, and no one cared about the other. The final result of the commotion was that the emperor got angry and wanted to make the flower bunch his concubine.
The queen was so angry that she fainted.
Meng Guqing felt helpless just thinking about it. Jealous? If you are jealous, just be jealous. Everyone knows that you are showing off. Isn't that stupid?
It's not that she's stupid, she's like a spoiled princess who thinks that everyone in the world should focus on her. But with her appearance, she might be satisfied in Horqin, but this is the capital?
The emperor is the one who respects the most. There is a saying that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The original owner must not know this.
The Queen Mother comforted her and said:
"Don't worry, the bouquet won't be able to bounce around."
"Didn't the emperor want to make her his concubine?"
"Female concubine? How can the Ai family tolerate a girl who makes the emperor and empress disagree with each other and makes our queen of the Qing Dynasty angry and ill?"
Meng Guqing stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother sit down, and then said: "Aunt, I was also at fault for what happened today."
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang glanced at Meng Guqing inexplicably and thought: How did this girl become enlightened today?
"Tell me, where did you go wrong today?"
Meng Guqing knew that the Queen Mother still preferred her son in her heart, but she was not the original owner, so she was not too sad.
"Aunt, Gu Qing is stupid. He has not been able to please the emperor this year, and he often makes the emperor angry. This is really wrong. Gu Qing has already realized his mistake."
When the Queen Mother heard her rare admission of mistake, she stretched out her hand to pull the person to her side. Meng Guqing knelt down at the Queen Mother's knees, like an obedient daughter, which made the Queen Mother suddenly realize that all her previous behavior was just a disguise?
But it's impossible. What's a little girl pretending to do? Since she has to pretend, she should pretend to be virtuous and virtuous. How could she be so competitive in everything and even suppress her own men?
"We Horqin women are born with responsibilities. You have been engaged to the emperor since you were a child, and your etiquette and rules have been specially trained by others. Before you came, your grandmother should also have told you how to become the empress of the Qing Dynasty."
Meng Guqing nodded.
"Amma said she wanted me to be like my aunt, with both ability and political integrity, and a mother who respects the world."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"You know in your heart that this is for the best. Don't do something so inappropriate next time."
Seeing that the Queen figured it out on her own without persuasion, the Queen Mother thought about her difficult son again, and looked at the maid next to her with some embarrassment: "Aunt Sumala, where is our Emperor?"
Aunt Sumala?
Meng Guqing, who was squatting, suddenly turned around and saw the woman who had just helped the Queen Mother in. Is she Aunt Sumala?
Gentle and kind, he is indeed a great person.
"Returning to the Queen Mother," Aunt Sumala understood what the Queen Mother meant, she said, "The Emperor didn't come, but the Emperor asked the servant to apologize to the Queen. He was also angry today, so he said nonsense. He didn't want to
The one who seals the flower bouquet as a concubine."
"If you don't make her a concubine? What will happen to her?"
"Of course she was kicked out of the palace and returned to her mother-in-law for instruction."
It should be good to leave the palace.
The Queen Mother seemed to have dealt with a matter, finished it, and left.
Meng Guqing was sitting on a chair, thinking about what happened today, but he hadn't sorted it out yet.
The palace maid came to send word that a bouquet of flowers had been brought.
Bring it?
Didn’t the Queen Mother handle the matter?
