This is true. The recent teaching tasks of the inner school have indeed come to a standstill. This is partly because the inner palace has to lay off some people and continue to recruit some new people. At this time of personnel turnover and chaos, the internal
No one cares about the school anymore.
On the other hand, it was Wang Zhenying's negligence.
The empress dowager in charge of the harem is now mainly focused on the politics of the previous dynasty.
As for the harem, just don't cause any trouble.
To put it harshly, there is no adult emperor in the harem today, and the concubines are all old men of Sima Yao.
These people are just hanging around in the harem now. Wang Zhenying understands them very well and gives them better treatment than what Sima Yao provided them before.
The meaning is very clear.
I can provide you with good food and drink, and as long as you don't cause trouble, everyone can live in peace.
You can do whatever you want, and I can turn a blind eye or close an eye.
As long as she is not facing Zhang Guiren, Wang Zhenying is a very tolerant queen. She has no disgust and no jealousy towards these so-called sisters in the harem.
It seems that this is how she treated Chen Guinv from the beginning.
She also knew what Chen Guinv had experienced in the harem these years. Although she had children, she was not much better.
So, as long as you are honest and obedient, I don't care about anything.
Moreover, Wang Zhenying also had a plan to release the young concubines of Sima Yao who had not been in the palace for a few years when the time came to release the concubines, so that they could get married on their own.
This is also a pioneering work of Wang Zhenying.
In the past, when the previous emperor passed away, the court would release some of the concubines to show tolerance, just like a general amnesty.
It's all grace.
However, at that time, the scope of concubines was limited to the maids and slaves in the harem, that is, those who worked.
It is impossible for a serious woman who was taken as a concubine by the former emperor to be released.
Even if it does happen, it is very rare.
However, Wang Zhenying planned to evacuate a large number of people. To be honest, if she hadn't become the Queen Mother and couldn't escape, even Wang Zhenying herself would have wanted to run away!
Therefore, the blame for the recent emptiness of the inner school should actually be placed on her, Wang Zhenying, as it is all her responsibility.
As the master of the harem, she should be the one to worry about the management and improvement of the women in the harem.
"You are right, the current inner school is indeed abandoned."
"However, don't worry. When new people are recruited, I guarantee that the inner school will be filled up immediately. By then, I'm afraid you will be overwhelmed."
“Very busy!”
Enough of the good things said, Song Qingyin had no intention of refuting, so the conversation, which should have been full of vigour, with all kinds of overt and covert attacks, turned out to be dull and tasteless now.
This has a lot to do with Song Qingyin's refusal to accept the move.
What does this conversation mean now?
It was like Wang Zhenying was forcing the conversation forward with questions. If Wang Zhenying had not provoked, the conversation would not have progressed at all.
Song Qingyin is really difficult to deal with!
Wang Zhenying couldn't help but sigh like this.
If you say that Song Qingyin is a scheming person, that is definitely slander. No, Song Qingyin has a good character and will never engage in those conspiracies.
But, similarly, she will not be flattery. For example, she clearly knows what Wang Zhenying wants to hear most and what she wants to inquire about most at this moment.
However, she just refused to take the initiative to explain.
Of course, this does not mean that Song Qingyin will not tell the truth. In fact, she has long been prepared to give a full explanation.
From the moment she saw Wang Zhenying, or from the moment she agreed to teach Chen Guinv knowledge, she had expected such a day.
Definitely.
Can't escape.
On the one hand, it is due to Song Qingyin's personality. She is not a liar. She has never had such nerves in her brain, nor has such thoughts arisen.
Therefore, whenever Wang Zhenying asks a question, she will answer truthfully.
On the other hand, as Wang Zhenying said, the two people are real friends, and there is nothing false about this.
How can friends deceive each other?
Therefore, Song Qingyin is also watching Wang Zhenying's actions. As long as she is honest enough, Song Qingyin will naturally not hide anything.
Of course, the more important reason is that Wang Zhenying is the Queen Mother.
Can anyone resist the Queen Mother's orders?
Of course not!
Think about it, those majestic officials in the imperial court are unable to disobey the Queen Mother's will. Who is she, Song Qingyin?
She is just a female official in the inner court.
Living completely dependent on the court, it should be said that Song Qingyin can still live well now because she lives in the inner court and is decent.
If she disobeys Wang Zhenying's order, Song Qingyin will naturally not end well. Although Song Qingyin is a human being, it does not mean that she is a fool who insists on hitting the south wall.
She still wants to live a good life, so why should she get into trouble?
"Empress Dowager, I have no intention of disobeying you. I have my own reasons for doing this."
Huh, does she still have a point?
Listen to it!
Let's hear what lies she can come up with.
Wang Zhenying didn't speak, she just pretended to be listening. As a friend, Song Qingyin also knew Wang Zhenying's temper very well.
Then he said: "My dear, if you think about it carefully, wouldn't it be more suitable than others if I'm here to take care of you?"
"What does it mean?"
"Are you doing this because of me?" I can't believe it, I simply can't believe it!
There was no sadness or joy on Song Qingyin's face, she just spoke her thoughts calmly.
"What you think is a matter for your Majesty to consider. I just need to make my thoughts clear. I don't mean to take any credit when I say this. I hope the Queen Mother will learn from it."
"Of course I know this, you are not that kind of person."
"If you have any ideas, it's okay to say it."
At this point in the conversation, although no specific reason had been obtained, Wang Zhenying had gradually come to believe Song Qingyin's words.
This is not a mystical person.
Since she is so conclusive, there must be a reason. She will not deceive or exaggerate.
Amidst Wang Zhenying's approval, Song Qingyin talked eloquently.
"Your Majesty, you can think about it seriously. Now, Empress Chen is determined to learn to read and write. The official once interviewed her. Her will is very firm, she wants to learn very much, and she is very eager to learn. This is not true.
changing."
"If the official doesn't agree, will she give up studying?"
"No, she won't."
"I am not the only female doctor in the inner school. If I don't agree, she can find someone else. There will always be someone who is willing."
"At that time, what are the Queen Mother's plans to do?"
"Ms. Chen is not very old. If she joins the apprenticeship of another female doctor, then they will definitely think highly of Ms. Chen and teach her seriously so that she can make progress."
"My dear, think about it, wouldn't it be very dangerous if things develop like that?"
"Once Empress Chen's knowledge improves by leaps and bounds, the threat of Empress Chen in the harem will become even greater."
Wang Zhenying hissed and was stunned.
this……
It's totally possible!
How dangerous!
Just before Song Qingyin mentioned it, Wang Zhenying had never considered this direction at all. Such an idea had never appeared in her mind.
terrible!
"Qingyin, can you really keep an eye on Mrs. Chen for me?" Wang Zhenying asked urgently.
By this time, Wang Zhenying could figure out Song Qingyin's true thoughts. It turned out that she was using herself to be more tired to prevent Chen Guinv from joining other female doctors.
This is also true.
Chen Guinv's current wish is probably not that lofty. She just wants to learn a few words and at least be able to read a book.
Since Song Qingyin doesn't agree, she can go find someone else. I believe that the female doctors in the inner school will definitely not miss such an opportunity.
Moreover, he will do his best to teach Chen Guinv knowledge.
Once Chen Guinv really gained some knowledge, she would be even less honest in the inner palace.
It doesn't matter if she is an ordinary concubine. Even if she becomes a female doctor, she won't be able to make such a big splash.
However, if it falls to Chen Guinv, the trouble will be big.
Don't forget, the current emperor is her biological son. This silly baby has no blood relationship with Wang Zhenying.
If he had some knowledge, acquired some principles, and had the emperor's son in his hands, then Wang Zhenying's position would be in jeopardy.
Of course, all these crises may not be obvious in two or three years.
After all, the child is still young and he can't tell who is his biological mother and who is his adoptive mother, but what about in a few years?
The situation will definitely be different.
There has never been a son who would respect his adoptive mother instead of his biological mother, especially when his biological mother is still alive.
This is the unbreakable blood relationship. When the time comes, only Wang Zhenying will be unlucky. Others, mother and son, can work together and kick Wang Zhenying aside with a little effort.
Don't count on the ministers in the court, there is no hope.
For them, they only need to have such a decoration on the golden throne. In fact, whether this decoration is Sima Yao's biological child or not is not that important.
So it doesn't matter who plays the role of the mother who controls this decoration. In fact, for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Chen Guinv was more suitable to play such a role than Wang Zhenying.
First, Chen Guinv had no backing. She did not have a strong natal family outside the palace who could not provide her with any support.
Even if there is a son who becomes the emperor, everyone knows that this is just a mistake. Ministers in the court can listen to her if they want to, and they don’t have to listen if they don’t want to. It doesn’t seem to be the case.
Something is wrong.
Furthermore, compared with Wang Zhenying, Chen Guinv is a fool.
So what if it is just a temporary fix, the foundation is not solid, and the level of knowledge cannot be compared with that of a woman from a family like Wang Zhenying.
The mind and vision are different.
For the courtiers, Chen Guinv was a better candidate for the Queen Mother.
In other words, compared to Wang Zhenying, Chen Guinv is quite easy to coax and deceive.
As long as you use your brain a little, you can make Chen Guinv play around. Isn't this court only controlled by the ministers?
However, with Song Qingyin guarding him, he can feel more at ease.
"Qingyin, can you guarantee it?"
"Wouldn't it make Mrs. Chen too smart?"
"Of course!"
"Otherwise, why do you think I did this?"
"Don't worry, with me guarding you, I won't let Mrs. Chen learn many real things. It's just a show."
"Although you and I have not interacted much over the years, we have been friends for many years. I will always remember this friendship and will never forget it."
"Although I can't be of much help, I won't make it difficult for you. In fact, I can guess a little bit of Madam Chen's intentions. And Madam Chen, although it seems that you are going smoothly now, the crisis is just
It’s not far away.”
"It's obvious."
"Once you let Madam Chen take your son back, Madam, your position will not be guaranteed. Although I did not participate in the politics of the previous dynasty, I can still see this."
"Why!"
"That's right, but I can't help it. I have no children. This has been the case before. Now that Emperor Daxing has passed away, I can't give myself a son. So what can I do?"
Only old friends like Song Qingyin could talk about this kind of depression, not even his brother Wang Gong.
Although Wang Zhenying became the Queen Mother as she wished, and seemed to be very happy on the surface, in fact, she was not that happy.
After all, the current equilibrium state can only be temporary and cannot be maintained at all. Everyone can see this.
You see, Song Qingyin is no exception.
"So, you should make plans early!"
"Although I can help you delay it for a while, it is not a long-term solution after all. The passage of time is something that neither you nor I can stop."
"The relationship between mother and child is natural. Can we still change it?"
"What will he think when His Majesty grows up and realizes that the Queen Mother is just his adoptive mother and that his biological mother is by his side but cannot raise him?"
"He will definitely defect to Mrs. Chen immediately. Even if Mrs. Chen doesn't have a glorious family background, doesn't have much knowledge, and is just a vulgar woman, it doesn't matter."
"As long as Your Majesty goes to the side of Empress Chen, the situation will turn around in an instant. Empress Dowager, your position will be in danger."
Song Qingyin just didn't open her mouth. The moment she opened her mouth, Wang Zhenying was forced to express all her hatred.
"Yes, everything you said is right."
"I also know that I should have made plans in advance, but what can I do?"
"We can't drive Mrs. Chen out of the palace!"
"In this case, although it can relieve temporary worries, it will definitely cause disaster. After all, Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, and this cannot be changed."
"If I do that, once Your Majesty finds out, the rift between Your Majesty and I will be even greater, and he will no longer be of the same mind as me."
"So, at this stage, it is better to keep Lady Chen in the palace."
Although he said this, Wang Zhenying also knew that this state of affairs could not be maintained and a solution must be found.
