Chapter 342 Can’t Forget
I didn't want to be the queen, but you put me in this position without caring whether I was willing or not!
The queen lowered her eyes to hide the gloom that flashed across her eyes, but she still replied honestly:
"I know I am wrong, but I don't know why you kept me here, mother?"
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the Queen's well-behaved appearance. As daughters of the Lin family, it was their mission to become the mother of the country and continue the glory of the Lin family. However, the niece in front of her, whom she had raised since childhood, did not understand this truth.
“Empress, you were brought into the palace by me since you were young, and I provided you with food, clothing, and other necessities… Not to mention the princess, even the princes can’t compare to you.
It is also for this reason that you are accustomed to life in the palace and always feel that life outside the palace is free.
I will tell you today that what you think of as 'freedom' is empty talk. The real 'freedom' is holding supreme power and having the right to decide life and death!
What's wrong with being a queen? Not only is she the most powerful woman in the world, but she also brings honor to her mother's family!
I have not given birth to a child with Lin family blood, but you are also a daughter of the Lin family. Once you give birth to an imperial heir, you will be like Huizong, with the blood of the royal family and the Lin family flowing in your body. How glorious it will be!
Why can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
The Queen Mother had never given birth to a child, so she would bring her brother Lin Xiaotian's children into the palace from time to time to keep them company.
Among them, the ones who entered the palace the most times were Lin Xiaotian and Lin Zhuohua.
Later, the Queen Mother even let Lin Zhuohua live in the palace permanently, treated her like her own daughter, and finally helped her ascend the throne of Queen.
Facing the child she had raised with her own hands, the Queen Mother always felt a little soft-hearted. After giving a stern persuasion, she softened her voice and said earnestly:
"Aunt knows that you like the one from the Huo family, but you are your father's only daughter. If you don't enter the palace as queen, do you want the daughter of the Lin family's side branch to enter the palace as queen, and from then on, her status will be lower than yours?"
The Queen's pupils shrank slightly. It was obvious that the Queen Mother's words touched her heart.
The Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother are both legitimate daughters of their Lin family. She is the only legitimate daughter of the current head of the Lin family. She has a noble status and has been high and mighty since childhood. She will never allow other noble ladies to step on her head!
Now, she has become the queen and continues to be high and mighty, but she can never forget Huo Qingyun in her heart!
Her aunt was the Empress of Huizong, and Huo Qingyun's aunt was the Concubine of Huizong. Because of their aunts, they had been in and out of the harem frequently since childhood.
Huizong had few children, so when he saw younger people like her and Huo Qingyun entering the palace, he liked to gather them together to watch the fun.
Finally, Huizong even issued an edict, asking them to go to the Shangshufang and study with the princes.
She knew from a young age that Huo Qingyun was very good at studying, but he knew that he could not steal the limelight from the prince, so he always hid his abilities.
From the moment she discovered Huo Qingyun's secret, she fell in love with Huo Qingyun. It was a feeling as mysterious as a deep forest and as sweet as a mountain spring.
Later, the former Crown Prince Chen Xuanli passed away, and Huo Qingyun entered the palace to work in the Palace Front Department. She simply couldn't believe it!
Huo Qingyun, the legitimate grandson of the Huo family and the future patriarch of the Huo family, actually degraded himself to become a guard!
But... Huo Qingyun was also the best as a guard. In just two years, he was promoted to deputy commander of the Palace Front Department. Two years later, he became the youngest commander of the Palace Front Department since the founding of the Daliang Dynasty.
It turns out that Huo Qingyun is not only talented, but also very skilled in martial arts!
The throbbing in her heart became even more intense...
