Chapter 202 The Emperor's Heart Technique, Unfathomable
Teach rules?
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Where are you? Which royal princess or noble daughter from aristocratic families doesn't understand the rules and etiquette of the palace? Just take some time to mention it before getting married, and she is not a beautiful girl who has just been selected into the palace."
Concubine Wei Shu was hit with a problem. She looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. I didn't think carefully."
Her original intention was to show off to the emperor and make her presence felt in front of the queen mother, so that the queen mother and other concubines would know that she was now the concubine with the highest status in the harem, but she didn't expect that she would backfire and end up embarrassing herself.
Even without raising her eyes, she knew that the concubines in front of the table were looking at her with mocking eyes, and they couldn't help but feel a burning embarrassment on their faces.
"Concubine Shu also means well." The emperor tried to smooth things over, "But the empress is right. Royal princesses and noble daughters from aristocratic families have always had good upbringing and good manners. There is no need for formal instruction. A little reminder before getting married is enough."
The emperor is really good at telling lies with his eyes open.
Other people may not tell you, but with all the recent words and deeds of the princess, how can she show any sign of obeying the rules and understanding the etiquette? I have never seen any princess who does anything that goes against the rules and regulations like her.
Everyone slandered, but in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, they could only respectfully agree: "The Emperor is right. The upbringing of the princesses and princesses of the Dayong Royal Family is excellent, and there is no fault in it."
As a new and young concubine, Situ Xue couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she listened to the insincere compliments from the Yong concubines. They are all a bunch of hypocrites.
From top to bottom, from the king to the ministers, everyone in the Yong Dynasty is greedy for life and afraid of death, deceiving themselves and others. Do you really dare to praise without conscience?
Okay, let them all think they are right. When Yun Zishu arrives in Dongyou, she will know how strict the rules of the Dongyou royal family are. When the time comes, let her call the sky and the earth intolerance.
The palace banquet ended in this atmosphere of ulterior motives. The emperor complained on the grounds that he was busy with government affairs and left in a hurry. As soon as he left, the harem concubines and several clan ladies also left in a sensible manner.
Yun Zishu stayed to talk to the Queen Mother. Seeing that Wu Jingyi and Yun Baozhu had no chance to talk to the Queen Mother, they had to respectfully excuse themselves and leave.
"They are all a bunch of careless people." The Queen Mother was supported by her personal maid and walked to the phoenix couch to sit down. "When Mrs. Wu came down, Concubine Wei Shu thought she had a chance and hurried to stand in front of all the concubines.
Wei...the Ai family is not dead yet, is it her turn to make the decision in the palace?"
Mammy comforted her: "Queen Mother, calm down. As long as you are here, no one in the harem will be able to get up."
Yun Zishu thought for a while: "Concubine Shu is not something to be afraid of. What we should really keep an eye on is Concubine Xian."
"Concubine Xian?" The Queen Mother was surprised and looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that Concubine Xian is better?"
Yun Zishu shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter whether the wise concubine is superior in skills, but who is the most preferred heir apparent in my father's heart. Under normal circumstances, the one who wins in the end is the one who has the Sacred Heart."
The Queen Mother frowned and instantly understood what she meant: "Your father wants to make Prince Jing the heir apparent?"
Yun Zishu nodded: "My father indeed means this. He has even been using Wu and Yun Chen as bait in order to fool the ministers into thinking that he likes Wu and dotes on the prince Yun Chen."
Seeing the Empress Dowager waving, Yun Zishu walked to her and sat down next to her, and continued: "My granddaughter didn't understand before. For a stupid and incompetent waste like Yun Chen, if my father handed the country into his hands, wouldn't he be causing trouble?
A century-old inheritance from our ancestors? I later found out that my father had good intentions."
The Queen Mother said nothing.
The words "well intentioned" always sound ironic at this time.
"The Ai family thinks they know the emperor quite well." The Queen Mother stretched her body and leaned on the phoenix couch with a sneer, "I didn't expect that he hid the matter of establishing a heir so well. Is this because he was afraid that the Ai family would be disadvantageous to King Jing?"
"It shouldn't be entirely to guard against the Queen Mother and the Feng family. After all, the Feng family doesn't have a prince to support, so my father won't be too worried." Yun Zishu said in a calm tone, "What my father really wants to paralyze is Prime Minister Wei and the Wu family.
Party minister."
The Queen Mother hummed and nodded slowly: "The emperor's mind is indeed unfathomable."
He did not show any preference for King Jing, and gave all the honors and favors to the Wu family and his son, making people think that the Wu family was always favored, but in the end it was a deception.
Yun Zishu took the tea presented by the palace servant and pondered for a moment: "I want King Jing and Feng Ci to escort me."
The Queen Mother looked up at her and met Yun Zishu's calm and transparent eyes. She couldn't help being slightly startled, and then thought, this granddaughter is really an extraordinary woman.
The Queen is of true royal blood, and Yun Zishu has her blood flowing through her body, and what she inherits is the noble bloodline that truly belongs to the royal family.
When she thought of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel sad. If her daughter were still alive, she would be a truly graceful queen now. Who would dare to be presumptuous in front of her?
The eldest son she gave birth to will also be the future heir of Dayongjiang Mountain. Who dares to compete with him in the legitimate blood of the emperor? However, in order to guard against the Feng family and hide the secret of his life experience, the emperor did not even tolerate his own son.
.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, a cold color and a bit of sadness flashed across her eyes, and she said lightly: "Tell me your plan."
"My father probably wouldn't agree at first," Yun Zishu said. "After all, Dongyou's situation is uncertain. It's normal that he doesn't want King Jing to take risks. But if Feng Ci follows me, my father's attitude will change."
He's shaken, maybe he still wants King Jing to get rid of Feng Ci halfway."
Although Yun Zishu couldn't be sure about her father's thoughts, she could still make a close guess.
The Queen Mother looked slightly cold: "The emperor can indeed plan like this."
"He planned his plan, but it is not up to him whether it will succeed or not." Yun Zishu said, "As long as King Jing escorts me to Dongyou, I can keep him there so that he will not be able to return in a short time.
Come."
The Queen Mother was moved, but her voice became much calmer: "Feng Ci is Feng Ci's only direct grandson, and the Ai family doesn't dare to let him take risks."
"With the protection of the Feng Family Army, the Queen Mother does not have to worry." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "Besides, there is also Sicang."
Speaking of Sicang, the Queen Mother felt increasingly uneasy: "Zishu, you said you liked Sicang before, and even designated Sicang as your future consort. Now that you are marrying Dongyou, will Sicang become a variable?"
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment and asked bluntly: "Is the Queen Mother worried that Sicang will hate him out of love?"
"He is the leader of the Shadow Pavilion, and now he is your personal shadow guard. He is the person closest to you. If he has any thoughts, you will be in danger."
Yun Zishu took a sip of tea and said in a very calm tone: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Anyone in this world can harm me and plot against me. Only Sicang can never do anything against me."
