[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 171: May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health 4

As for the original body's meeting with Qin Dingxiang, it happened much earlier than the original body's meeting with An Wang Minghe.

Her original body's parents died early, and she had lived with her uncle and aunt. When she was about seven or eight years old, she went to Baihua Temple with her aunt to burn incense, but was separated by the crowd.

The original body had a special radar effect on the opposite sex since childhood. The original body, who could not find his relatives, saw Qin Dingxiang, who was only twelve years old and was eating a candied haws.

So, the cry of "Brother, I can't find my home" coupled with a pretty little face that seemed to be about to cry, directly melted Qin Dingxiang's heart. Not only did he accompany the original body to find his way home, but he also came to play with the original body every day.

Even at Qin Dingxiang's strong request, the Qin family found a good job for the original person's uncle.

Qin Dingxiang, who was controlled by the repeated calls of "brother", gave his personal jade pendant to the original body and promised to marry her as a general's wife when she grew up.

However, the Qin family was stationed at the border all year round, and within two years Qin Dingxiang followed his mother to the border.

The original body was selected into the palace at the age of eleven. After suffering for several years, she was noticed by the old emperor and became a palace concubine.

We met again at a royal banquet.

At that time, she was still a small concubine, and she and Qin Dingxiang, who inherited his father's will and had lost his wife, were facing each other.

Qin Dingxiang felt that the two of them were not destined to be together, but his original body felt that the opportunity for him and his son had come.

So, one of them still had feelings for the other, and the other wanted to seduce the other, and the two of them got in touch again privately.

However, the original body was well aware of the power of Bai Yueguang and Zhushazhi. Therefore, unlike the intimate actions that she and Prince An deliberately created from time to time and the soul resonance of watching flowers, snow, stars and moon, what the original body showed to Qin Dingxiang was always "love but cannot get" and "regret not meeting before marriage".

In short, through a series of manipulations by the original body, Qin Dingxiang was successfully lured into becoming a black carp, and later helped the original body stabilize the situation during the succession of the throne. Afterwards, he also helped the original body kill Minghe, and finally died on the battlefield with his wounds.

"They are all good men, what a pity!" Mei Xiangxue sighed after taking a sip of tea.

Shang Lu, who was massaging her legs, snorted coldly and asked sarcastically, "Which outstanding person has the Empress Dowager been thinking of? Prince An? The general? Or someone else I don't know about?"

Mei Xiangxue paused holding the melon seeds, but before she could say anything, Shang Lu spoke again.

"Indeed, those are the pillars of the country, naturally they are not comparable to a eunuch like me! I think it's best for me to find a deserted place and end my life as soon as possible, so as not to bother the Empress Dowager!"

Although he looked angry, Shang Lu's movements were gentle and moderate, for fear of hurting Mei Xiangxue.

Mei Xiangxue smiled and touched Shang Lu's little face: "Oh, whose vinegar jar has fallen over? Why does it smell so sour?"

Chunyu, who was peeling walnuts for Mei Xiangxue, was laughing secretly and was glared at by Shanglu.

What are you laughing at? What's so funny!

Mei Xiangxue pulled Shang Lu up, asked him to sit next to her, and coaxed him with sweet words: "Those are just passers-by in my life... You are the only one in my heart!"

When Shang Lu heard this, his face turned red and he quickly turned to look at others, his eyes full of warning.

What the Empress Dowager said was too... explicit. If it gets out, it will damage the Empress Dowager's reputation.

It is not a pity for him, a slave and eunuch, to die, but the Empress Dowager must not allow any mishap to happen to her.

Chunyu and Xiachan, who were present, quickly lowered their heads to indicate that they heard nothing.

Mei Xiangxue pinched Shang Lu's face and scolded him, "Why are you scaring them? Who among them doesn't know about you and me?"

Chunyu and Xiachan were the palace maids that Shanglu had taken great pains to find to serve the original body when she first became a lady. They have been loyal to the original body for all these years.

In the original plot, after the original body became the queen mother, she could no longer tolerate the fact that she had to be submissive and flattering to the eunuch Shanglu, so she found an excuse to kill Shanglu, and also killed Chunyu and Xiachan who were arranged by Shanglu.

The original body also had two senior palace maids, Qiu Shuang and Dong Yue.

Qiu Shuang was a spy planted in the old emperor's harem by one of the women. Now she has been sent back to her real master by Shang Lu.

As for Dongyue, because of her clean background and meticulous work, Mei Xiangxue arranged her to be with the little emperor to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In the original story, the original character always had a grudge against Chunyu and Xiachan, so he was closer to Qiushuang and Dongyue. Among them, Qiushuang ranked ahead of Dongyue because of her sweet talk and good manners.

The original body was good at dealing with men and knew nothing else, and she made a mess of her harem.

The old emperor's concubines were all troublemakers, causing a lot of trouble for the original body. Qiu Shuang's master, Concubine Wen, was even more cunning, treating the original body like a monkey.

As for Dongyue, she was also sent by her original body to be with the little emperor.

Dong Yue is a smart and charming girl. Although she doesn't talk much, she is very aware of what is wrong with Qiu Shuang. However, her original body trusts Qiu Shuang very much, and she has not found any evidence that Qiu Shuang is wrong. So after coming to the little emperor, she manages Taihe Palace like an iron barrel, helping the little emperor escape persecution from the women in the previous emperor's harem several times.

In the end, while fleeing, Qiu Shuang and Dong Yue both died at the hands of the rebels.

But now, Mei Xiangxue is impatient to see her fake "sisters", so she asks Shang Lu to clean up Hechang Garden and send all the concubines and imperial concubines there.

Concubine Wen still wanted to make a fuss, but when Qiu Shuang arrived, she became obedient.

Mei Xiangxue sent someone to Hechang Garden to tell them that if they wanted to go home, they should ask their family to report and come to pick them up.

If they wanted to leave the palace and remarry, the young emperor would confer upon them the title of a county lady and give them an additional dowry so that they could marry in style.

If they don't want to leave the palace or get married, then they can just stay in Hechang Garden and the royal family will pay to support them.

The old emperor was such a bad person that he still took in teenage girls at his age. Mei Xiangxue really couldn't bear to let them waste their time.

Since there was no precedent, Mei Xiangxue's move led to impeachment from the Ministry of Rites.

Mei Xiangxue took a look and thought, okay, if you don’t let me do what I want, then I’m going to start making trouble.

So she chose a time to go to her son with great fanfare and expressed her intention to rule the country from behind the scenes.

King An: Agree +1.

General: Agree +2.

The Grand Tutor remained silent. After all, in Zhong Yu's opinion, there were precedents in the past where a young emperor ascended the throne and the empress dowager ruled the country from behind the scenes. Mei Xiangxue's request did not break the rules.

Mingang, the good son, naturally would not refuse his mother and voted in favor.

This put the Minister of Rites, who advocated impeachment, in trouble.

Everyone knows that Mei Xiangxue comes from an ordinary family and has little experience. If she were really put in power, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.

Also, if the empress dowager is in charge of government, she will definitely promote her own people, and each position in the court will be filled by her own people. This will definitely occupy the positions of other forces.

In the end, the Ministry of Rites quietly withdrew the impeachment memorial, and Mei Xiangxue, having achieved her goal, patted her butt and returned to Qingning Palace.

At the grand court meeting the next day, the Minister of Rites did not see the curtain and felt relieved.

Can't be bothered.
