The emperor went to court and court every day. He came to greet the empress dowager, had lunch in the empress dowager's palace, and went back to take a lunch break to approve memorials. The evening was his free time.
Every day when the emperor came to greet the queen mother, he would meet the queens with a group of concubines to greet the queen mother. The emperor would talk to these concubines, and when it was almost time for dinner, the emperor would mercilessly issue an "expulsion order". He just wanted to eat alone with his mother, and he only wanted to share the delicious food with his mother alone.
When having lunch, the emperor did not have to follow the rules of eating and sleeping, but chatting happily with Tian Miao while eating. Say whatever you want, without any pressure or scruples. No, now the emperor is complaining again, a kind of complaint that can only be made in front of Tian Miao.
"Empress mother, I didn't understand before, what's so good about being the emperor? Every morning, I wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and during the day are more tired than cows. There are only a few days of rest a year, and I have to marry a large group. The woman I don’t like. Now I don’t even know what it’s good to be an emperor. A group of ministers in the previous dynasty did not let me clean, and whenever there was a problem, they would make a noise in my ear. And that remonstrance officer, who has nothing to do all day long When I was participating in this and that, I sometimes criticized me. I really want to take off the dragon robe and throw it in his face, you can do it." The emperor was still aggrieved at the beginning, but he became angry after speaking.
"It's really tiring to be the emperor. If the emperor feels tired, it's because the emperor is a good emperor." Tian Miao said with a smile, and then gestured to the maid behind her to give the emperor a dish at hand. This dish is fat. But not tired, the emperor must like it.
"Why do you say that?" The emperor was a little puzzled while eating the food, but he was still adding in his heart, ah, the mother is also very good, and the dishes made by the cook are delicious.
"Because a good emperor will think for the sake of the people and the people of the world, he will take care of a lot, and naturally he will have a lot of constraints. If he is a tyrant, he will have no scruples and only care about his own enjoyment. But I am not, I will consider a lot of things, I will consider the feelings of many people. Even if I was in this position at the beginning, it was not my son's wish, but after becoming the emperor, my son has been doing what the emperor should do seriously." Tian Miao praised warmly, "The previous dynasty was Needless to say. Women in the harem, even if you don’t like them, you will go to see them, so that the palace staff will not treat them lightly. My son is a very gentle and kind person.”
"The queen mother..." The emperor had a piece of meat in his mouth, and there was a mist in his eyes. The queen mother was the person who knew and understood herself best in the world, and the queen mother was the best mother.
"My son will definitely be a famous emperor, and the mother will always be with you." Tian Miao looked at the emperor in front of him lovingly and said softly. The person in front of him didn't actually want to be an emperor, and he never wanted to. But when he became emperor, he tried his best to be a good emperor. Even if he is full of reluctance, even if he is sometimes wronged, he still works hard.
"Then, it's agreed, the mother will always accompany the child, always." The emperor swallowed the flesh in his mouth, smothered the wetness in his eyes, and looked at Tian Miao and said.
"Well, it's done." Tian Miao smiled and nodded.
…
In the afternoon, the emperor went back to appraise the memorial, and Tianmiao went to the imperial garden after the lunch break.
Walking along the road and turning a corner, I heard a commotion in front of me.
Tianmiao signaled that the maid did not need to go and see, she just went to see what happened. When he got closer, he found that Concubine Rong was pointing angrily at the Qing nobles who were kneeling on the ground and reprimanded something.
