C233 Her Majesty's intentions

Even as an esteemed empress dowager, she couldn't help but worry about her son. The empress dowager's kindness towards the emperor touched Blue River, making her feel ashamed of her previous schemes.

In the future, if your wife does anything wrong, your mother will have to tell your wife that she has changed as soon as possible, so it's possible for her to scold you a few times. Otherwise, your wife will have no face for your mother.

Qingluo moved closer to the empress dowager, her repentant expression making the empress dowager laugh. "We're all sons and daughters of our own family, how can we not scold you?"

"There's something wrong with Wailing Home, if you come here, Wailing Home will just open his heart and chat with you, and nothing will happen. Qingluo, Wailing Home is also not too willing to let you interact with too many things regarding the harem."

"Or else, a simple heart will be complicated. No matter how pure and flawless a woman is, once she enters this place, she will become sinister and terrifying. She will no longer be as pure as before."

This really was a secret message from the imperial harem. Even Qingluo didn't know if it was fortune or misfortune that she'd heard. Although the empress dowager's words had shocked her, she could clearly feel that her relationship with her had grown closer.

It was as if no one could listen to the empress dowager's words. The empress dowager, on the other hand, was more at ease with the matter of Zi Rou. She told Qingluo everything that she shouldn't have said, making it seem like she treated Qingluo as an outsider.

"Muhou, what you said is incorrect. You have stayed in the harem for dozens of years, but based on your behavior, how could you be so dark? I have learned a lot from you. At least, you have a magnanimous personality, and the harem may have a lot of sinister benefits, but it is definitely not all of it."

Qingluo's flattery was a proper benefit, even the Grand Consort who didn't say a word was amused by Qingluo's serious attitude, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"Kid, I didn't know that Wailing Home would actually listen so smoothly." As long as she could win with a smile, then even if today's trial was over, Qingluo would also let out a long sigh of relief.

All the elites of the imperial palace were walking on the edge of their blades, their thoughts even more complicated. How could there be truly magnanimous and selfless people here? If the empress dowager really was such a person, she'd have long since been tricked.

The higher one's position was, the more one couldn't bear to be used by others. Therefore, this knot in their heart had to be untied. Otherwise, the knot would only grow bigger and bigger, and it would become unmanageable in the future.

"Qingluo isn't just saying that. Imperial Mother, you have to give more pointers to your wife in the future. You also know that Qingluo is not from a wealthy background and didn't receive any special instruction since she was young. You have to pity your daughter-in-law and help her improve."

Qingluo kept feeling that in the past few years that she had been in the Duke Palaces, even her own brain had become sluggish. Especially since she had become pregnant with Yu Er, she felt that her thinking skills were far from being as sharp as before.

"Child, you are quite carefree, no one can compare to you in terms of etiquette and etiquette. Wanting you to make mistakes is already extremely difficult, how can Wailing Home teach you anything?"

"A person's way of life is not something that others can teach you. You need to slowly understand it yourself. In this lifetime, there are many things that a person will never be able to learn."

"Merely, for some people, their lives are very peaceful, and they aren't willing to think about such random things. However, for some people, their lives are very difficult, and it is impossible for them to not think about it."

"Qingluo, Wailing Home and your mufei have come from the winds and waves. Only after experiencing it many times will they think about it more.

"Although we also hope that you can progress a little bit in this area and become more worried for the Seventh Brother, but to be honest, what we hope more is that you can live a peaceful life without any interference from the mundane world. This is the happiest and most peaceful way of life, however, for us, people like us, this kind of life is an extravagant request."

The empress dowager's words really struck directly into Qingluo's heart. Wasn't this what she was thinking? After all, Luo Qingxi had given her too simple and warm a life, so she wasn't willing to think about all those random things.

Thinking back to when he was in the Weir Prefecture, he couldn't live without thinking, and he couldn't help but think. At that time, his mind really thought of an idea, that was really interesting.

If she didn't want to be bullied, then she had to have water and dirt, soldiers and generals. Otherwise, how could she live? As expected, she agreed with the words of the empress dowager and became tired of living.

Like Zirrou, wasn't she smart enough? Obviously that wasn't the case. She was being doted on by everyone so she didn't need to live so hard. She also didn't need to play with her own little tricks for such insignificant matters.

This was because there was someone blocking everything for her. She just didn't know if there was anyone blocking everything for her now that she had entered this bottomless harem.

Although the Empress Dowager and the Emperor both expressed their desire to protect her in their own ways, they did not know if this kind of protection would allow her to live as lazily as before. Since they had already done everything they could do, the only thing left was to bless her.

"Back then …" The empress dowager's words continued, but Qingluo was already completely focused. The empress dowager was trying to remind her that if she couldn't benefit from this, it would be her own loss.

"Your mufei must have suffered endless hardships for Seventh Brother's sake. She has suffered a lot, and lost a lot, but even in that situation, she can still make both of us live well. This is skill."

Qingluo was moved by the empress dowager's words. She looked at Grand matriarch in reverence, but her mufei's expression was still warm and calm, as if she wasn't the one saying these words. Qingluo couldn't compare to her composure.

"As for me, to be able to sit in this position all those years ago would be akin to enduring countless hardships. Not to mention the hard work the emperor went through before and after he ascended the throne, just saying that I'll raise him up and not let him suffer the schemes of others was already extremely difficult."

"Those years, every day we live in fear and trepidation. Our minds never stopped. If not for ourselves, then we have to do it for our children. We don't dare to relax for even a quarter of an hour."

"Therefore, Qingluo, take good care of yourself. When someone wants to protect you and has the ability to protect you, cherish him well. However, do not forget to spare no effort when you have the ability to protect him."

Qingluo, there is only so much I can teach you. Life is not smooth sailing, but if you are smart, you can make yourself comfortable in adversity.

She was physically and mentally exhausted, and as a matter of fact, a trip here and now was enough to make her feel uncomfortable. She also went out and fought with the empress dowager for intelligence and courage, then lay down on the bed. Although she was tired, Qingluo raised her eyebrows.

No matter what tricks the empress dowager had used on others, she was still very tolerant of herself. She didn't really care about her schemes and usage today. Thinking of this, Qingluo's smile faded once more.

"Mo Liu, go and invite Mister Lin over for me." Mo Liu quickly replied, "Alright, wangfei, this servant will go invite them now."

Mo Liu went to the outer room, called Mo Li into the house to guard, and left the house herself. Qingluo thought about the events of the day, and felt a little guilty towards the empress dowager.

When the empress dowager was treating him wholeheartedly, he did not do it wholeheartedly. After all, he had lost his duty and she had to find a way to make up for it.

"Qingluo, you called me? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? " Lin Qing had arrived very quickly. After all, the princess was very heavy, and would not agree to leave the palace.

It was just that he could not endure Princess Hua-Yang's disagreement and quickly came over to see if she had returned back home. He did not expect that she would have actually sent someone to invite him first, which made Lin Qing even more worried.

"I'm fine. Although I'm a bit tired from this trip, I'm fine. I've invited Mister Lin here for another request."

Before Lin Qing had arrived, Qingluo had already been helped to sit up by Mo Lai, and had even propped herself up on her pillow. Actually, this wasn't very polite, but Qingluo was indeed a little tired, fortunately, Lin Qing was not an outsider. Qingluo didn't want to be too polite with her.

"Qingluo, if you have something to say, just say it to me. However, you've just returned home and we've finished our journey. You should just lie down and talk like you're lying. Do you think Qingluo treats me as an outsider?" Lin Qing went to the bedside, wanting to help Qingluo lie down.

"Mister Lin has truly spoken into my heart. I really don't treat you as an outsider. Otherwise, how could you be so disrespectful? Please don't take offense to me, Mister Lin."

Seeing that Qingluo was insistent, Lin Qing had no choice but to give up. "Then, what does Qingluo want me to do?"

Qingluo looked at him, and he quickly took an embroidery block to the bed and sat down with Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin did not stand on ceremony this time, but sat down.

"Mister Lin, it's like this. I want you to prepare a prescription for my mother and Grand matriarch. You should know that I once wrote prescriptions for two elders …"

Qingluo explained her thoughts to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin was her teacher, so all of his medical knowledge was given to her by him. She also believed that Mr. Lin's prescriptions were definitely better than hers.

After all, Mr. Lin was often busy outside and had seen countless patients. This was something he could not compare with, and he naturally had more experience than himself.

Moreover, the diet itself was mainly used for treatment, so it needed to be adjusted at all times. If one's body was better or worse, there would be a requirement for both diet and medicine.
