Since the marriage of Song Renzong and Empress Cao, there has been no progress between the two. The official family did not go to Empress Cao on the night of the wedding, and Empress Cao always wanted to be a good queen since the official didn’t like it. She, she can't be her wife, so be a servant of the official family. So the relationship between the two of them afterwards is more like the relationship between officials and courtiers.
Of course the officials are aware of this, he knows that Empress Cao is a very suitable person to be a queen, even without him, she can be a queen. It's just that the officials might have misunderstood that Empress Cao wanted power instead of really wanting to marry him. Obviously he didn't know that Empress Cao really liked him, but didn't say anything.
Mao also has his selfish intentions. Although he knew that Empress Cao liked the officials, he did not explain this to the officials. Instead, he secretly helped Empress Cao to deal with Zhang Guiren. The introduction of Qiuhe was enough to illustrate this point. . Mao liked Empress Cao, but he didn't really promote Empress Cao and the officials. He just risked a big deal to mention Empress Cao, but didn't substantially change the relationship between Empress Cao and officials.
Mao spends the most time with the official family. Even if the queen is sad, he did not talk to the official family. It can be seen that he has his own selfish intentions. In fact, he does not want to see the empress's affection. Because Empress Cao is the person he likes, who is willing to promote the marriage of the person he likes? The answer is not willing. He just wanted to help Empress Cao consolidate the power of the Empress, the others really didn't really help.
Does the official family have feelings for Empress Cao? In fact, it is. Huaiji sees this most clearly. The painting made by the former official also illustrates this point. He did not paint his favorite Zhang Guiren, but he painted the queen and painted his heart. man of. At that time, Huaiji could tell at a glance that it was the empress, and he also understood what the officials thought of the empress.
was just the same as the later official, but he respected the queen very much. But it turned out that Huirou saw the official respect for the empress, but the reason was the words Huaiji said, which caused the official to act like this. When the official asked him whether he liked the queen, what he said was to respect the queen. Officials also agree that it is indeed the most appropriate to respect the queen.
If Huaiji had said something different, I wonder if the progress of the official family and Empress Cao would be different? At first Huirou told him that the officials respected Empress Cao because the officials didn't like the empress. At that time, Huaiji didn't react. Later, it seemed that something was wrong, because the officials had some doubts at the beginning and didn't know whether they liked the queen or not, so Huaiji asked. In fact, at a deeper level, he was asking whether he liked the queen or not, and what kind of attitude he should treat the queen best.
To a certain extent, Waiji also realized that what he said at the beginning made the officials have those behaviors later. So Huirou talked to him again about the official family and Empress Cao, and he corrected her opinion, because only when she likes a person can she share what she likes with her, while the official family is even his favorite Fan Zhongyan's words should also be shared with the queen.
Huirou's view is a bit one-sided after all. After all, Huaiji was the one who saw the most clearly, and he broke the official sentiment towards the queen. At this time, Huirou also suddenly understood that it turned out that Huaiji respected herself, and he didn't necessarily dislike it. This view of Huaiji made Huirou clear, so she said to Huaiji: "I don't like Heitian, and I am a little scared, but I will like it from now on, because there is a Huaiji in Heitian. , Looking at me!"
Huaiji sees the affairs between officials, queens, and Zhang nobles very clearly. This is also the most direct feeling as a bystander. Perhaps he has a similar experience to that of the official family. He likes the princess and respects the princess very much. Only then will he understand that respecting someone is not necessarily disliking. Because of his words, Huirou finally got rid of the haze of the past. Huaiji is like a ray of starlight in the night sky, which can light up her world and is a warm presence in the dark night. Huirou finally understood that Huaiji's respect for herself had something else profound.
