The Queen Mother's hand shook slightly, and a few drops of tea splashed on the back of her hand. She threw the teacup on the ground with a snap, which frightened several servants nearby and fell to their knees on the ground with a plop, remaining silent.
"She said she wasn't feeling well?" The Queen Mother frowned and gritted her teeth and said, "Afraid of giving it to the Ai family after she is over? The Ai family just wants her to come over and talk to the Ai family. It's time for her to be sick.
.”
Yurun lowered his head and said with a trembling voice: "I went to inquire and found out that the eldest son of Guan Mansion once went to look for her, but she was not in Xiaoyaoju at that time. I heard from the slaves in Xiaoyaoju that she went to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Before returning to her ancestral temple, she married the eldest son of Prince Xuan’s Palace at the behest of the Queen Mother. However, she was unable to conceive a child, and Prince Xuan’s Palace was very dissatisfied with this.”
"Who did you go to inquire about?" The Queen Mother glared at Yurun, who was trembling slightly.
"It was Miss Liuli who sent the message." Yurun said with a trembling voice, "The Queen Mother sent the father-in-law to Xiaoyaoju, but failed to invite the princess he liked. He happened to meet Miss Liuli and chatted for a few words. Miss Liuli
He immediately went to Xiaoyaoju and asked the servants he had known before and got the news. I heard that the eldest son of the Xuan family was going to confine his favorite princess to Xiaoyaoju until she could get her health back and become pregnant with the eldest son of the Xuan family.
You can leave Xiaoyaoju."
The Queen Mother was silent for a while, "This girl Liuli was personally trained by the Ai family. She understands the thoughts of the Ai family best. If it is really because of the wishes of Prince Xuan's Palace, we can't blame Zi Yun for not coming."
"I heard from Miss Liuli that when she was in the Xian family, the princess she admired was bullied since she was a child. She has been weak since she was born. After marrying the eldest son of the Xuan family, Prince Xuan's palace also asked people to look at her. Listen to what the doctor said.
, within three years, the beloved princess cannot be pregnant, otherwise it will kill her. Even if she becomes pregnant, she will die young." Yurun glanced at the Queen Mother secretly, "Miss Liuli is afraid that the Queen Mother will be angry.
, I guess it’s because the Queen Mother felt empty after Princess Hanyu got married and wanted to talk to her favorite princess, so she specifically told the father-in-law who went to invite her to her.”
The Queen Mother pondered for a while and then glanced at Yurun, "You said, Guan Yupeng went to see Xian Zijian?"
"Yes." Yurun said softly, "Empress Dowager, you arranged for the secret guards near Xiaoyaoju to see it with your own eyes. You also brought the woman named Xiaochun who once served the princess you like. She is now Guan Yupeng's aunt. The secret guards
It is said that the eldest son of the Guan family was very angry at that time and smashed the wooden planks of the carriage. Aunt Chun was even injured and was sent back to the Guan Mansion. However, no one in Xiaoyao Juli answered them."
The Queen Mother nodded, "Xiaoyaoju is the territory of Prince Xuan's Palace. How could Prince Xuan's Palace, which has always been arrogant and arrogant, take Guan Yupeng seriously?"
There were footsteps outside, and then there was the shrill voice of a eunuch, "The Emperor has arrived. The Queen has arrived."
Yurun immediately shut up, and several of the slaves on the ground also stood up under her eyes and returned to their seats, as if nothing had happened. The Queen Mother watched a slave hurriedly move the people on the ground.
The tea cups were put away, and the expression on his face returned to normal.
"The child has met the Queen Mother." The Emperor walked in and greeted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother who followed behind also showed a very respectful greeting and sat down on a chair beside the Emperor.
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, as if she did not remember the previous dispute with the emperor at all, as if the accidental fire in her palace had never happened before. She said very gently: "What's the rush to come to the Ai family so early? Chao
Are you busy?"
He didn't even look at the queen standing aside, as if there was no such person in front of him.
The emperor smiled and said calmly: "My child has just left the morning court. The ministers mentioned the matter of establishing a prince. My child wants to discuss this matter with his mother. This is a matter related to the future of our Wumeng country.
It's a big deal, I hope the mother can give me some reminders."
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, but smiled and said nothing, waiting for the Emperor to continue speaking.
The Emperor was a little surprised when he saw that the Queen Mother had no reaction at all about her confrontation with the Prince. He paused, glanced at the Queen beside him, and motioned for her to continue.
The queen lowered her head slightly and spoke softly: "It's all because of my daughter-in-law's incompetence that the news of Prince Yu's disappearance leaked out. Now some ministers in the court know about this and have repeatedly asked the emperor to find him as soon as possible.
The missing Prince Yu also established a crown prince very early."
The Queen Mother did not answer, she just sat there quietly, as if she had not heard what the Queen had just said, but there was some disgust hidden in her brows.
"My child also thinks there is some truth." The emperor looked at the Queen Mother's expression, hesitated, and said softly, "Although my child is not old and can still rule for many years, it is still appropriate to establish a prince."
"What does the establishment of a crown prince have to do with Yu'er's disappearance?" the Queen Mother said indifferently, "The power of a queen in the harem is only to manage the entire harem on behalf of the emperor and take care of the rights and wrongs among the concubines.
, you actually care about the princes' affairs. Queen, you are really working hard!"
The Queen was startled, and she raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother quickly. The Queen Mother looked at her with sharp eyes, like a sharp knife, slowly across her face. The Queen shuddered subconsciously, and then lowered her head.
The head said, "It's my wife's fault."
"Of course it's your fault!" the Queen Mother said indifferently, "The Emperor has always pampered you. This is a matter between you and your husband. As an elder of the Ai family, I can't say it, but you are too doting. The Emperor ordered you to be in your own family.
In the courtyard, you shut yourself up and thought about your mistakes, but you followed the emperor to the Ai family to talk about establishing a prince. Don’t you remember the ancestral teaching in the palace that women should not be involved in politics? Your Majesty, how can you condone a queen who is so unreasonable and helpless? Last time
For your sake, you didn’t put her in the cold palace, but she is so bold and rampant!"
The emperor was startled, and just as he was about to speak, the Queen Mother's face sank, "The Ai family is in a bad mood today and don't want to talk about this matter. Now they want to find out who leaked the news about Yu'er's disappearance. Queen, you'd better be good
You should take a good look at yourself and give the Ai family a good explanation for this matter."
The queen did not dare to reply, but glanced at the emperor, as if asking for help.
"The queen has no other intentions. She just feels a little guilty that she didn't take care of the palace affairs well and let outsiders know about Yu'er." The emperor explained with a smile.
"Then find a woman who can take care of the harem well." The Queen Mother said indifferently and directly.
