Chapter 215 Women's Ambition
The empress dowager was trembling with anger, and raised her hand, wishing to slap her on the face.
She held back, and said in extreme disappointment: "Do you still remember when Ah Jie was born, you hugged him and told me that there is nothing more important than him in the world, and you said that this is the most important thing God bestowed on you?" Nice gift."
The noble concubine sneered, yes, after giving birth to him, the emperor made her a noble concubine, indeed, he was the best gift.
However, there is indeed a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, it is nostalgia for that man, he has never known how much she loves him in his whole life.
The Empress Dowager saw that her expression had warmed up, and thought she would be able to persuade her, and continued: "Remember? Before Ah Jie was three years old, no one wanted it. As long as you and Si Zhu, Ai's family could give you a hug once in a while. At that time, You said that he is just a entanglement, and I am afraid that he will not be able to live without you as a concubine in this life."
Some tears fell quietly, but it was Aunt Sizhu's.
Recalling back then, the prince was really clingy and obedient, and he was only three years old, so he knew how to give the delicious food to his concubine and Aunt Sizhu.
The empress dowager continued: "The first emperor has so many children, and his favorite is Ah Jie. If it weren't for the fact that the dynasty wanted to establish a long-term successor, the throne would be his. But this child, how did he care about these things? In order to protect his emperor Brother's country, he spared no effort, and even fought bloody battles several times, repelling the domineering powers, you mother and concubine, aren't you proud of him?"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the establishment of the elders and the establishment of the heirs, but not the establishment of virtuous people, this is what she hates.
When the late emperor loved Murong Jie back then, she thought that the late emperor would be willing to make an exception and establish virtuous talents instead of establishing a heir. However, she overestimated the late emperor's love for him, and the late emperor did not even have the idea of making him the crown prince.
I still remember that year, when Ah Jie was six years old, the first emperor took their mother and son to hunt.
Ah Jie, who was only six years old, shot and killed a wild wolf. This is an unprecedented thing, not to mention the royal family, even in the martial arts world, it is rare to see such a genius.
At that time, Emperor Xian was very happy, he carried him around the spot several times, and then said to the ministers who were hunting together: "This son of mine will become a great weapon in the future."
She was there at the time, seeing the emperor's joy, she was also so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt that the emperor might make some decisions.
Therefore, when she went to serve the emperor that night, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the rules of establishing a prince in this dynasty.
The first emperor slapped her across the face, and said to her viciously: "I will not make Ah Jie the crown prince. The rule of this dynasty has always been to establish the elder and establish the heir. Even without this rule, I would not have made Ah Jie the crown prince." Prince, because his mother and concubine are too ambitious and I am in poor health, it is a catastrophe to set up a Jie, with young sons and strong mothers, unless you are willing to be buried in me."
She remembered this slap and those vicious words until now.
The man she loved with all her heart, thought that he had some kind of true love for her besides the emperor's favor, but she didn't expect that in his heart, she was actually an ambitious man.
That's right, she admits that she has ambitions, but why can men have ambitions but women can't? Did the Queen Mother Long have no ambitions back then? If it weren't for the check and balance of the courtiers, she would have been enthroned as emperor long ago.
"Proud, why not proud? He is able to ascend to the position of regent and supervisor of the country today because of his imperial brother's promotion." The noble concubine said.
The empress dowager listened to her with a submissive voice, but every word was thorny.
She sighed softly, "Now you are a noble concubine, enjoying the glory and wealth, is there any dissatisfaction for you?"
The imperial concubine laughed lightly, "The empress dowager's words are really ironic. What is there to be dissatisfied with? How can there be any dissatisfaction? As you said, I am now enjoying prosperity and wealth, and my days are nourished. Two sons, one regent, and one entrusted to the Southern Kingdom, they are all promising, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"
The empress dowager pressed her hand, "Come on, let's not talk, it's not Aijia who satirized you, it was you who satirized Aijia, your two sons are promising, but you think you are a noble concubine, don't you? What should I do?" Promising? Is it because the Ai family handed over the Queen Mother's position, so you feel satisfied?"
The empress dowager's words were already a little angry.
The imperial concubine stood up, "Is the empress dowager angry? What is there to be angry about? You are now high above you, holding the supreme power in your hands. Naturally, anything the people below you do is ridiculous to you. Back then, the empress dowager Before the Empress Dowager left the palace, didn't you respect her in the same way? Did you have the ambition to replace her at that time? Don't say no, I don't believe it. Besides, you always say that women should not have Ambition, could it be that the Empress Dowager had no ambition back then?"
"Shut up!" the empress dowager said angrily, "what's on your mind? The empress dowager supported Emperor Hui to ascend the throne. How could she intend to replace Emperor Hui? After Emperor Hui passed away, the first emperor ascended the throne, and the first emperor The Empress Dowager's mother died young, and the Empress Dowager helped her, and if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have a stable life today, don't forget that she was the one who conferred the concubine to you back then."
The noble concubine smiled sarcastically. The old hag didn't like her from the very beginning, and suppressed her both openly and secretly. She made it clear that she respected her.
The title was chosen by her, the word "order", "law", "law", "warning", the old hag used this word to warn her to remember the law.
It's ridiculous that she herself is a person who does not disregard the law, but warns her like this.
"There's no need to say anything more. Just do what the empress dowager asks me to do. Isn't that just agreeing to their marriage? The Ai family agrees."
The empress dowager knew that she was dissatisfied, but since she agreed, she will deal with other things slowly in the future, "Okay, when they enter the palace, you put away your sharp claws. If you are dissatisfied, come to Ai's house."
As soon as Murong Jie and Zi An entered the palace, the rain slowed down.
Nanny Yang went directly to the Queen's Palace, while Zi'an and Murong Jie carried an oil-paper umbrella and headed for the Queen's Palace.
After entering the palace, after saluting, the Empress Dowager looked at Murong Jie, and stretched out her hand to beckon him over, "Come and sit next to Ai's family."
Murong Jie smiled and sat down, "I haven't seen this old lady for a while, she looks younger."
"Spoof!" The empress dowager said angrily, reaching out to beat him, "Even the empress mother dares to make a joke of it?"
Zian listened to the conversation between the two with some surprise. Although he knew that the relationship between the two was not bad before, he had never seen anyone talking like this. This relationship is very good.
She raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the noble concubine next to the empress dowager, seeing her expression was cold, with a cup of tea in her hand, she tried her best to look disapproving.
Zi'an Fushen said, "My daughter Xia Zi'an, see the noble concubine."
The noble concubine slightly turned her face away, and said to Aunt Sizhu beside her, "The tea is cold, please change to another cup."
She had no intention of talking to Zian, Aunt Si Zhu went down to serve tea in silence.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager said, "Zi'an, sit down, here at Ai's house, there is no need to be formal."
Zi'an straightened up, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Zian found a seat and sat down, lowered his eyes, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose.
