Chapter 279 Daily Life of the Queen Mother (2)
Huimin looked at her little niece and patted her head gently.
"All right."
"You want to use her?"
When Yingyue heard Huimin start talking about business, she also sat up straight.
She agreed readily.
"Yes, aunt."
Yingyue looked at Huimin's calm and serious face and said seriously:
"Aunt, I haven't slept with you yet, as you know."
Yingyue thought for a moment before saying, "Among the concubines who entered the palace at about the same time, I am the youngest. It will take me two years before I can sleep with the emperor. By then..."
Yingyue paused, "I need someone to help me in the palace anyway."
Listening to Yingyue's words, Huimin nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"It's better to be prepared. It's impossible for the palace to fight alone. Besides, it's rare for high-ranking concubines to go to the battlefield personally."
Yingyue blinked, "Besides, I am my cousin's biological sister, so he will never forget me, and I don't have to work so hard to win his favor like other concubines."
As she spoke, Yingyue frowned.
"Aunt." Yingyue hesitated for a moment, "And Yingyue sees that there will be more and more people in the palace. It's better to cultivate someone of our own who can be controlled. I think Concubine Rui is not simple."
The figure of Fu Cha also appeared in Huimin's mind.
Fucha was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She was a person who would never admit defeat and was strong-willed. The Fucha family had trained her for the position of queen.
However, among several candidates, the late emperor decided on the Niuhulu clan.
and……
Huimin thought about Hongyao's personality.
If the queen was too stubborn, she might not get along well with Hongyao.
Niuhulu was gentle and generous, kind and polite, which was more in line with Hongyao's temperament.
Hongyao is a person who overcomes hardness with gentleness. Although he may not be as hard as a rock, he is not easily moved by others.
If Fu Cha is like this, as there are more and more concubines in the harem, the two of them will inevitably quarrel in the future.
With Niohuru as his wife, the emperor and empress got along better.
However, it's good that my niece can see it clearly. They are cousins, and they have this kind of affection. In addition, Hongyao is handsome and has a noble status, so it is normal for them to have feelings for each other. Huimin is afraid that Yingyue will fall in love and lose her mind.
Once you are in the game, your eyes are limited and your heart is covered with a veil, making it difficult to see clearly.
That girl Qingyan couldn't hide her love for Hongyao at all.
The same goes for Niuhulu and Fucha. Even if they tried to restrain and hide their feelings towards Hongyao, Huimin could still see that they both had a good impression and were attracted to him.
So the two of them, Huimin shook her head, some things can't be seen now, they have to wait for time.
Once the word "emotion" is involved, things become complicated.
However, Huimin looked at Yingyue again.
Although she is young, she is very clear-headed and thorough.
In her words, "I enjoy the highest wealth in the world in the Forbidden City, and I have my aunt to protect me. I feel free."
"As for the cousin, he is Yingyue's biological cousin, and he is a family member."
From the very beginning, Yingyue defined her identity as a family member.
The current emperor's family.
That distinguishes her from the women in the harem.
It's not love, but there is family affection and affection.
Nowadays, when rich families marry, many men and women are arranged by their parents. There is no emotional relationship between them. They just get to know each other slowly after marriage.
On the contrary, marriage between cousins is a match made in heaven, which can strengthen the ties between the two families. Moreover, cousins have more contact with each other and have deeper feelings for each other.
Yingyue played the family card against Hongyao.
On weekdays, Yingyue is the image of a cousin who loves to eat and drink, is innocent and lively, and loves to make trouble and play.
Although Yingyue is not old enough to sleep with the emperor, Hongyao often goes to Chengqian Palace to sit.
Hongyao brought some new things, and Yingyue talked about the interesting things that happened recently and what new pastries she had eaten. The two cousins got along well with each other.
Hongyao also dotes on this cousin.
When she was young, it was Xitala who first entered the palace with several daughters-in-law. Later, the wives of E Rong'an and E Shi would bring their daughters to visit Huimin by handing over a sign.
Qingyan and Yingyue are both Hongyao's cousins.
But at that time, everyone thought that Qingyan would marry Hongyao, and Yingyue would just be a younger sister. Moreover, Yingyue was chubby and cute when she was a child. She often chased after Hongyao just for the delicious snacks and to play.
The snacks supplied to the princes were naturally different from those available to people outside the palace.
Moreover, Hongyao has always been popular. When he was a child, he would call his friends over and Yingyue would play with him and have fun.
Even though she made herself look embarrassed, Yingyue just kept running with him with a silly smile on her face.
Qingyan became even more reserved and paid close attention to her image, fearing that Hongyao would be displeased.
Qingyan is a little girl who likes to be clean and tidy, and she won't run around with her brothers and make a mess of herself.
Thanks to that time, Hongyao's impression of Yingyue is vaguely that of a greedy, playful, and somewhat silly little troublemaker. She was a little follower in childhood and loved to pester her mother and act naughty.
Overall, Hongyao has a good impression of Yingyue.
Nowadays, Yingyue and Hongyao mostly get along in this way, like cousins who get along relaxedly.
Moreover, Yingyue was still young and had never served in the emperor's bedchamber. Although she had temporarily lost the opportunity to be favored by the emperor, she also had more time to develop feelings with Hongyao.
Yingyue then pulled this relationship more towards family members, as the younger sister in the family would always be pampered more.
Huimin agreed with Yingyue's idea.
As a cousin, I can attack or defend.
Niuhulu was the empress appointed by the late emperor, and now it seems that this empress is indeed a good one, so the Xilin Gioro family naturally has to put themselves in the right position.
Yingyue's identity is too sensitive.
By doing so, it can not only show that Yingyue has no intention of fighting for power, but also make Nianhulu more tolerant of her and allow her to live more comfortably in the harem.
After thinking about this, Huimin nodded slightly.
"It's up to you to decide this matter, but remember, don't trust others easily."
"We should not only judge Li by appearances, but also by his behavior. We should not make wedding dresses for others."
Yingyue also had a serious expression, "Aunt, don't worry."
"I know that in this palace, only my aunt truly cares for my own good. Before I entered the palace, my father told me that if I was unsure, I should ask my aunt. In the palace, I can only trust my aunt."
Looking at Yingyue's serious eyes, Huimin smiled instead.
"We are all Xilinjueluo clan."
"You, everyone says your cousin is smarter, but this intelligence is not the most important thing, this insight is the most important thing."
As she spoke, Huimin reached out and touched Yingyue's forehead.
“Only by keeping a clear head can you be invincible.”
"This is what my aunt has kept in mind for all these years."
