Chapter 712 Tug of War
Everyone here obviously thought of this problem.
The Empress Dowager even appointed Minzhou as the eunuch who was in charge of Zhao Xi on the spot, and said, "If anyone has any objections, you can say that I decided. What does he have to say to me? Let him tell me. I want to see what they are doing to them?"
No one can catch this big hat.
Minzhou was so excited that his eyes were wet and "punched" and knelt down to the Empress Dowager. He kowtowed nine times in a row, calling him merciful, worthy of being Zhao Xi's great-grandmother. He really loved Zhao Xi and said to everyone: "With the Empress Dowager, she is the master of me, and I can always accompany the eldest son in the future."
I don’t know if it’s born to be suitable for survival in the palace, or if Minzhou has instilled something in private in Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi was young, but as if he understood, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked the Empress Dowager, and said politely: “Great-grandmother is the best person to me in the world!”
The Empress Dowager was very excited when she heard it. She held Zhao Xi in her arms and called out "Son" and said to Minzhou: "You teach the eldest son very well. You should teach him this way in the future."
Minzhou looked grateful and swearing to his death, he knelt down and thanked the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager ordered Meng Fangling: "Carry out the green gauze cabinet behind me, and the eldest son will rest there temporarily. It is not too late to move out to live after the Emperor Daxing's coffin is up the mountain."
This is to keep Zhao Xi in front of him before he ascended the throne.
Meng Fangling smiled and agreed respectfully.
Minzhou became a little panicked.
He was afraid that he would be rejected and undermined by then.
After all, Zhao Xi was still young. When he was in Wanshou Mountain, Empress Dowager Cao didn't like him, so the palace maids and eunuchs naturally dared not give him a good face. Only him, thinking that Empress Dowager Cao was old and trapped in Wanshou Mountain, and he could not rely on her for the rest of his life. He was still hoping to go back to the palace! In addition, he was the chief supervisor of Wanshou Mountain. He did some small things behind Empress Dowager Cao's back, and no one dared to complain to Empress Dowager Cao. Zhao Xi looked at him always helping him, so he gradually got closer to him.
Although no one has made it clear now, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Xi will become the next emperor. People in Cining Palace will not be able to curry favor with Zhao Xi!
Zhao Xi is so young, and when his wet nurse disappeared, he was coaxed by himself after crying twice. Princess Jianan clearly wanted to control Zhao Xi, so he knocked and beat him, and he was both kind and powerful. If Zhao Xi was won over by the people in Cining Palace, what hope would he have?
In the eyes of these noble people in the palace, they are like kittens and dogs. If they dare to take it seriously, they will be able to kill you!
What should I do?
Minzhou is so worried!
Jiang Xian understands the rules of the palace better than him. Seeing him like that, he thinks that since he has used him, he should use it well. He can't always make people feel worried and insecure. Although many people like this kind of ruling, Jiang Xian likes that everyone around him is harmonious, loves and takes care of each other, rather than intrigue, you are humble and I am cruel.
She simply said to Minzhou: "You should talk less and do more things these days, and follow the people around the Empress Dowager to learn how to serve people. In this palace, those who can serve in the Cining Palace are all top figures. In the future, you will not be in a hurry after moving out of here with the eldest son. If you have any questions, you can have someone to discuss with me."
Minzhou's eyes lit up and a hung heart finally fell to the ground.
He responded repeatedly and kowtowed to Jiang Xian and the Empress Dowager respectfully.
The Empress Dowager said "um" with satisfaction and asked Zhao Xi about his daily life in detail.
Minzhou used to be careful and did not answer at all.
The Empress Dowager was even more satisfied with her.
After lunch, Meng Fangling also packed up.
The Empress Dowager urged him to carry Zhao Xi to the Bisha Cabinet to rest first: "The child is young, and he can only be healthy after resting. You must serve him well. When he wakes up, he needs something to eat and drink. I will give him instructions and just ask the imperial kitchen to prepare. You can't bear it just because you have arrived in a new place. You can't stand it, but the child can't."
Minzhou responded in a different voice, and followed Meng Fangling with Zhao Xi in his arms.
Zhao Xi, whose body was originally tight, quickly softened his bones. He quietly asked Minzhou: "Eunuch Min, great-grandmother, do you like me?"
Just now, the Empress Dowager not only hugged Zhao Xi, but also found that he was a little uncomfortable when he fed him water. He didn't force him, so he handed him over to the palace maid who was good at taking care of children, and asked the palace maid to feed him water. Everything was based on his comfort. The child had no external things in his mind and felt comfortable being taken care of, so he felt that he was good to him.
Minzhou did not expect Zhao Xi to adapt to the Empress Dowager so quickly. He hesitated and said, "The Empress Dowager of course likes you, you are her great-grandson. However, the Empress Dowager has many great-grandsons. If you listen to me, the Empress Dowager will only like you more and more in the future. You don't have to go back to Empress Dowager Cao."
He felt that he was not wrong with saying this.
Didn’t the King of Liao have several sons?
That is also the great-grandson of the Empress Dowager!
Zhao Xi nodded obediently and promised Minzhou in a slight voice: "I must listen to Eunuch Min."
He likes Cining Palace better than Wanshou Mountain. People in Wanshou Mountain seem to have no sees him, and always have a stern face. But people in Cining Palace smile when they see him from afar, as if he is a rare treasure.
This made him feel very good.
He hugged Minzhou's neck and smiled affectionately at the palace maid behind him.
The palace maid blinked at him kindly.
He giggled.
But when the Empress Dowager came out of the warm cabinet in Minzhou, her smile faded and she could not see any joy at all.
Jiang Xian frowned almost invisibly and asked the Empress Dowager in a gentle voice: "Are you tired? Why don't I help you back to the house to rest?"
"No need!" The Empress Dowager said depressedly, "Before you came, the people from the West Sanyuan told me that the queen was slightly ill and wanted to invite Princess Dongyang to the palace to comfort the queen. I agree. When was Ayi's funeral? Let her move there! The Tartars retreated. She is the mother of a country. The emperor is in great service. What's the matter with her always living here?"
"I understand!" Jiang Xian smiled, "I'll send someone to ask."
Since the Empress Dowager learned about the situation outside, she closed the gate of Cining Palace and did not allow the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to walk outside Cining Palace. She did not inquire about any news or participate in anything, for fear that any inappropriate words and deeds would affect the Wang family and Jiang Xian.
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Go! If you have any news, I'll just say it back and forth by the people around you."
This is what makes Jiang Xian retreat.
Did she really fall out of favor?
Jiang Xian resigned from the Empress Dowager laughed and cried.
