Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

After the death of the previous emperor, the Queen Mother had to rule the country from behind the scenes and teach her son personally. Firstly, she could not take care of the concubines in the harem, and secondly, she was soft-hearted.

Who knew that tolerating Concubine Shen Gui, who had no prince, would allow her to turn her life around.

However, Concubine Shen Gui guessed wrongly, thinking that Queen Mother Wang was an ordinary mother. By capturing the son, she also captured the mother.

The emperor has shown his incompetence in governing the country, so let the Shen family take control.

Guanzhong suffered a major defeat this time, and if the Shen family still doesn't know how to restrain themselves, don't blame her for being rude.

Queen Mother Wang knew that the Shen family wanted to use Guanzhong as a test and then target the Xue family in Liaodong.

Mo Chenxi heard about Liao Wenshan from Old Lady He. Because Shanqiao was the son-in-law of the Xue family, Old Lady He paid more attention to this aspect.

She thought that Queen Mother Wang sent Liao Wenshan to Guanzhong as a precaution against the Shen family.

So letting Wang Dongjia return to Guanzhong will help Liao Wenshan?

Her brain can't think of anything too high-level, so just treat it as gossip.

Three years later, if Mo Chenxi went out again, she would be a widow, and someone from the palace came to take her in.

She was very grateful to the Queen Mother for remembering her mourning period, which showed that she cared about a small person like her.

When I saw the Queen Mother again, she was different from three years ago, but very similar to the first time. Her eyes were sharp, but there were more wrinkles on her face, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes when she smiled.

The Queen Mother asked the prince to come over. Mo Chenxi saw that the prince was looking at her curiously. The pits on his face had faded a lot and his skin color was darker.

"This is Madam Xiaojiexian, who is also your husband. You can call her Mr. Mo."

The prince bowed respectfully, "Mr. Mo."

Mo Chenxi was so frightened that she quickly stood up. What kind of a husband was she? Not even a nanny.

The Queen Mother believed the rumors that Madam Mo was not an ordinary person, especially since her cousin's wife always said so. She asked Madam Mo to be named as the Prince's mistress, also because she wanted to bless the Prince to grow up safely.

The son taught by Mrs. Mo did not have any great abilities, but at least he was obedient and knew when to advance and when to retreat.

"Mrs. Mo, please sit down. You have raised him for two years, so it is only right that you receive the respect of the Crown Prince."

Mo Chenxi sat down with great fear and trepidation, feeling very uncomfortable.

At this time, the emperor also came. Mo Chenxi was surprised. She had seen the emperor before as a handsome young man, but now his eyes were blurred and he walked a little unsteadily, as if his body was hollowed out.

Are there too many beauties in the palace? And handsome men too?

The current emperor is not interested in He Shankun, but is interested in his mother. He heard from his brother-in-law that Madam Mo is a spiritual person.

No wonder the Queen Mother asked Madam Mo to accompany the Crown Prince in the manor to protect the house.

When the Emperor heard that Madam Mo had entered the palace, he hurried over and asked excitedly, "Madam Mo, I've seen countless villains running around in the palace lately. Are they about to enter the fairyland?"

The Queen Mother frowned. The late emperor had done the same thing and said that he would never take her with him to the fairyland, leaving her to suffer in the human world.

I don’t know who my own son will take with him.

Mo Chenxi was shocked when she heard what the emperor said, remembering that anyone who ate Jianshouqing would see a room full of dancing figures.

Seeing the emperor staring at her, waiting for her answer, she made up her mind and said, "Maybe it's because I ate something wrong and I'm hallucinating. For example, some mushrooms will make a room full of little people when you eat them."

The Queen Mother was stunned, and the Emperor remained silent.

Mo Chenxi quickly took his leave.

The palace discovered that the pills made by the Taoist priests who frequently entered the palace contained fungal powder, so they sought advice from Taoist priest Feng.

Taoist Feng heard about the symptoms of the pill and said, "This is the fungus var. intestinalis. A small amount will cause hallucinations, but a large amount will kill you."

He had wandered around and had been to Yunnan and Guizhou, so he knew that some Taoists used pills mixed with fungus powder to deceive people, saying that they could lead them to heaven.

The guards arrested the Taoist priest on the spot. He confessed that he had used this pill to deceive many people and did not dare to give it too much just to make people believe him.

The man who introduced him to the emperor was executed along with his entire family on the charge of plotting to murder the emperor.

To protect the Crown Prince, the Shen family, who were implicated by that family, were not mentioned. The Queen Mother asked Concubine Shen Gui to eat the meatballs with intestinal fungi and sneered, "That's what you gave the late emperor back then, right? If it's good, why didn't you eat it with him? The late emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

Concubine Shen Gui's face turned pale. A month later, news came out that Concubine Shen Gui choked to death after eating meatballs sent to the palace by the Shen family.

Everyone who should know knows that the Shen family is doomed.

Old Lady He came to see Mo Chenxi and said that there really were people who choked to death. She had seen it with her own eyes in the countryside. She also said that Concubine Shen Gui was unlucky and she was not able to enjoy the good days when they came.

Mo Chenxi didn't think so. The emperor's physical abnormality must be related to the Shen family.

She thought that in this palace fight without weapons, the Queen Mother had won again.

When rumors of an affair between the Emperor and Shen Xiuwei spread, Princess Hanshan took Luo Yulan and Luo Zizhen to Jiangnan. Before leaving, she went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager with an apologetic look in her eyes.

Neither of them spoke, and finally Princess Hanshan bowed deeply to the Queen Mother for the first time.

The He Shanluo brothers did not take the imperial examinations, but copied books for decades.

The people who copied books in the Ji family library changed one after another, but only the two brothers and Nie Lingxuan's son-in-law had been copying for decades.

He Shankun taught at home in his middle age. People in Beijing tried every means to send their children to the He family to study because Ji Chengping said he was not as good as He Shankun.

Ji Chengping and his brothers went back to Guanzhong with his brother-in-law's family. They returned to Beijing, while his brother-in-law's family stayed in Guanzhong, saying that they wanted to build a ancestral hall for the Wang family. Decades later, his son Wang Lichuan studied gunpowder and created a cannon with greater power, longer range, stronger barrel and thicker wall.

Lord Cao led Mo Xinzhi to develop better quality catapults and crossbows, and Lord Cao was promoted to a fourth-rank official. No one expected that the honest and loyal Mo Xinzhi had strong hands-on skills. Lord Cao recommended him several times, and Mo Xinzhi, who was originally a scholar, was promoted to the fifth-rank official.

Although Mo Chenxi is a widow, as a grandmother, she is not like young widows who have to dress plainly and cannot go anywhere, otherwise the old ladies in each family will be suffocated to death.

However, she was unwilling to stand out, so she bought a farm, grew vegetables, fed chickens, and cooked delicious food. She did not allow her son and daughter-in-law to follow her, saying that it allowed her to live a more comfortable life.

He Shanluo wanted to persuade him, but He Shankun stopped his elder brother, saying that he should let his mother live the life she wanted. As a son, he should be obedient.

Ten days a month, the two brothers would bring their families to the village to spend a day with their mother.

Several families that Mo Chenxi was familiar with, especially Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qiu San, came to the manor from time to time, saying that they wished they could just ignore everything and live with Mo Chenxi.

The old ones passed away, such as Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Cao. Mo Chenxi's parents died one after another, and she was in mourning.

Mrs. Xue became increasingly confused in the years before her death. On the day she died, she suddenly asked whether the eldest son had returned, saying that she was sorry for leaving his mother at such a young age to follow his father to fight in the war.

General Xue and his son returned to Beijing to observe mourning. A year later, General Xue's son returned to Liaodong.

At that time, someone attacked General Xue, saying that Liaodong only knew about the Xue family army and not the Great Yan Kingdom.

Queen Mother Wang directly asked the official surnamed Zhao who impeached the Xue family to go to Liaodong and said that if you bring out a Zhao family army, as long as it can defend the border, I would rather the Great Yan Kingdom send out several Zhao family armies, Qian family armies, and Li family armies.

This was the first time she called herself "Zhen", with her back straight and her eyes blazing. The ministers were panicked, worried that the dynasty would have a female emperor.
