Chapter 96 With a clear conscience
What Cui Xiu says now has revealed her personality. In the past, outsiders said she was stupid, but in fact it was because of her straightforward temperament and her willingness to help people in distress. .
The water in Kyoto is very deep. Sometimes you can’t even take care of yourself, let alone help others?
So whether they are officials or concubines in the palace, they are unwilling to take action. When they see others being bullied, most of them just ignore it and ignore it.
Live your own life without seeing anyone else.
When most people are like this, Cui Xiu's helpful behavior seems very unusual, which will make those who are indifferent think that Cui Xiu is worthy of being the queen of the generals, and his temper is more or less reckless and stupid. .
In this harem, there is no real right or wrong. Whatever the majority is, is right, and the handful of alternative people are wrong, stupid, and annoying. People laugh.
Cui Xiu felt the look from Mrs. Qiu, that admiring look, as if she was not like this before, but later became as shrewd as she is now.
Cui Xiu only felt that it was ridiculous, and he felt a little cold in his heart. He couldn't explain why he felt cold. After the coldness, he became a little sad. In this world, people who do good deeds become fools.
Those people who are evil-hearted and do bad things have become completely good people.
When refined egoists control the discourse, good people will be forced to take evil paths.
Cui Xiu was a little hesitant. She still remembered the fire in her heart that day when she had just come back to life. She told herself that from now on, she, Cui Xiu, would no longer be a good person.
It’s not that it’s bad to be a good person. On the contrary, it’s a good thing to be able to truly become a good person.
It’s just that the world’s requirements for a good person are too high, and most moral senses cannot meet that requirement.
Cui Xiu knew in her heart that she could not achieve it either.
Because she also tried to be a good person and help Ning Bin, who had the same experience as her, but what was the result she got?
The result she got was that Ning Bin exchanged her child for her own selfish interests, and finally manipulated others to destroy her reputation, causing her to die with hatred.
If she can let go of the matter of "she was sincere to Ning Bin, and Ning Bin stabbed her in the back like this", then she has the potential to be a good person.
But let’s be honest.
She can't do it.
It was impossible for her not to hate Ning Bin.
It is impossible to let Ning Bin go easily.
So she can't be a good person.
But she didn’t want to live like the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Queen, and the people in the harem of the imperial city, living without any intention.
Cui Xiu is still willing to be a kind person, a person who is worthy of himself first, and who can try not to harm the interests of others.
In this world, nine times out of ten things will be unsatisfactory, but I just want peace of mind.
Being a kind person is not easy, but life is not easy. She has chosen the path she wants to take, and she will go on it without hesitation.
In a daze, Cui Xiu felt that a lot of things were pouring out of her mind, and she seemed to be able to feel some meaning of rebirth.
The hatred and resentment between people are secondary. They cannot be ignored, nor can they be taken entirely to heart, because those things are not worth wasting her precious life.
The first thing is to live a good life, get along with your family, your children, and your loved ones.
Live naturally with heaven and earth.
Get along with yourself.
For her, her feelings are more important than anything else.
Cui Xiu thought about it, his face showed the same calmness as before, and he said: "I appreciate the kindness of the eldest empress on behalf of my second brother."
"But the matter is over. It is also the second brother who has no chance to meet Princess Wanning. It is his fault.”
Cui Xiu finally responded to the Queen Mother's words decently. The Queen Mother's meaning was already very clear. If she was pretending to be stupid at this time, then she would have used too much force. The few people staying in Rende Palace are not good people, especially the Queen Mother.
Cui Xiu knew in his heart that the Queen Mother, as the final winner of the previous generation's palace battle, her methods, her eyes, and all aspects of her were not to say top-notch, but at least she was much better than them.
Cui Xiu felt that there was no need to pretend in front of the Queen Mother, it was best to just show it naturally.
After listening to Cui Xiu's words, the Queen Mother's expression also changed. The emperor proposed the marriage, and she knew that the emperor always had his own ideas.
Besides, Wanning's marriage also made her worry a lot. Since the emperor had already made up his mind, she, as a mother, would probably help.
I never thought that that girl from Wanning was a failure. Before the marriage edict was issued, her innocence was lost.
This is really difficult for them to do.
Seeing that Cui Xiu had talked so much, the Queen Mother couldn't say any more. She might as well forget about the marriage and leave the matter of Wanning to the Emperor himself.
She is already old and can no longer take care of so many children's affairs. She would like to take some time to get close to the fifth prince.
Ning Bin never imagined that the Queen Mother would relax her vigilance towards Cui Xiu because of the fifth prince. Not only that, the Queen Mother's favor towards Cui Xiu would also improve.
What bothers the Queen Mother the most is those who are eager to win over trivial matters, who keep showing off after they have achieved a little bit of credit, and are so petty.
So she doesn’t like Ning Bin.
Cui Xiu is just the opposite. The Queen Mother likes Cui Xiu's calm and calm temperament. Although Cui Xiu is more straight-tempered, she has never been competitive and relied on favors for so many years after being married to the emperor. Proud look.
I have always been neither impatient nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing, and I try my best in everything.
Now that she was able to distance herself from Ning Bin, the Queen Mother saw this and had a good impression of Cui Xiu.
“Now that the matter has come to this, it is not easy for the Ai family to do things that will attract hatred.”
“It is also Wan Ning who has no chance of getting along with your second brother.”
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"The Ai family is also tired. Let's talk about the other things another day."
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, she was given an eviction order. They had no reason to stay any longer, so they had to leave.
As soon as Cui Xiu left the Rende Palace, the queen walked up. There was no expression on her face, she just glanced at Cui Xiu.
"Concubine Jia, don't be too proud."
"In this palace, there are more than five princes and one grandson."
The Queen said this For my sake, even if Cui Xiu didn't want to understand, he would still understand.
What the Queen Mother means is, don't think that the Queen Mother likes the fifth prince, so you, Concubine Jia, can stick up her tail. Her son is the prince, and he is also deeply loved by the Queen Mother.
“That’s what the Queen said.” Cui Xiu replied.
Seeing Cui Xiu acting like this, the Empress was somewhat unwilling to give up, and thought of suppressing him a few more words.
"Your Majesty is now in his prime, so he will naturally have many heirs in the future."
"Xiao Wu was born not long ago, and the eldest lady saw it interesting, so she got closer."
"There will be seven, eight, and nine princes in the future, and the eldest lady will treat them all equally."
"You must be clear in your heart."
