After the queen returned to the palace, she smashed a whole set of teacups and teapots, banging them all over the place. The fierce noise frightened the palace people, and they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
Anger spread throughout Fengyi Palace.
"Evil beast!" The queen's voice was cold and angry, "I should have drowned him when I gave birth to him! We should not have left this scourge behind!"
"Queen, please calm down!"
The queen couldn't calm down her anger, and still had a frosty face: "White-eyed wolf! How can the serving mother be unfilial to be the crown prince of Dongyou?! I shouldn't have agreed to get him back -"
"Your Majesty, please be careful what you say." Aunt Zhao's expression changed and she quickly interrupted her, "Your Majesty, please don't say these nonsense! If the news reaches the Emperor, I'm afraid the Emperor will be unhappy."
"Is he unhappy?" The queen gritted her teeth and sneered, "Why should he be unhappy? The original decision was not made by me alone. The emperor was also the mastermind! It's good now. Seeing that there is not much time left, he has become a wise king.
Dear father!"
"The Queen!" Nanny Zhao suddenly raised her voice, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
The queen closed her eyes, walked to the side and sat down bitterly, her tone unable to contain her anger: "Tell me, what exactly does he want to do? Does he want to force me, his biological mother, to death?"
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she knew she was talking about the prince. After thinking about it for a while, she asked in a low voice: "Does the queen know what the most intimate relationship in the world is?"
The queen said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
"Yes." Aunt Zhao sighed and spoke earnestly, "The most intimate relationship in the world should be between mother and child. How can I not kiss a piece of flesh that fell off my body when I was pregnant for ten months?"
The queen said coldly: "How has he ever regarded me as his mother?"
"Your Majesty, please listen to this old slave." Aunt Zhao lowered her head and said with some sincerity in her tone, "You were wrong from the beginning."
The queen's expression darkened: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down first and let me give you a detailed analysis." Aunt Zhao raised her hand and squeezed her shoulders, and said respectfully, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have known each other since the Dayong Dynasty, and even fell in love with each other. They have a close relationship, and
The queen is a vicious woman who abandoned her own son——"
The queen's expression suddenly changed: "Presumptuous!"
"Damn it, old slave! This old slave is not blaming the Queen." Aunt Zhao said quickly, "This is the Crown Princess's impression of you. Has the Queen forgotten what the Crown Princess said last time she came to Fengyi Palace?"
The queen's expression became even more ugly when she thought of Yun Zishu's repeated acts of arrogance.
That rebellious woman deserves to die!
"In my opinion, since the Crown Princess has such thoughts, it can prove at least two things."
The queen frowned.
"First of all, the prince probably thinks the same way, so he may have resentment towards the empress."
The queen said nothing.
"Secondly, it is true that the Crown Princess is the legitimate princess of Dayong, but how can a princess know what happened in Dongyou twenty years ago? I'm afraid even the Emperor of Dayong doesn't know about this." Aunt Zhao didn't know.
Analyzing the main key points at a leisurely pace, "The prince should have told her this matter. This is enough to prove that the relationship between the prince and the princess is extremely close and is not comparable to ordinary people."
The queen said coldly: "So I should help them?"
"The Queen should not only help them, but also try her best to be kind to them and make up for the mistakes she has made as a mother." Aunt Zhao lowered her voice, with some deep meaning in her voice, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, the Emperor's Dragon Body
He is getting weaker day by day, and it will not take long for the prince to ascend the throne. When the prince becomes the emperor, you will become the high-ranking empress dowager."
The queen looked gloomy, but her anger was visibly reduced, "So what? The prince has ascended the throne, and as his mother, it is not natural for me to ascend the throne of the queen mother?"
"But if the emperor is unfilial to his maid, even if he is the queen mother..." Nanny Zhao hesitated, "Don't forget, my dear, although the Dongyou royal family has always advocated filial piety to govern the world, from the time when the emperor was young, he has always relied on his ability to serve others.
, among the civil servants and generals he used highly, which one talks about filial piety all day long?"
The queen was silent.
"Old slave knows that the empress is thinking about my cousin and the Situ family, but the days are long and the prince will definitely fill the harem after he ascends the throne. When the time comes——"
"Wan'er will be old by then, so how can she still have the chance to enter the palace?" The queen closed her eyes and leaned on the phoenix couch tiredly, "otherwise, why do you think I am so anxious?"
It's not because of Situ Wan's age that there is no room for delay.
Aunt Zhao was silent: "Even if you don't enter the harem, your cousin may not be a poor candidate for marriage. Besides, if this generation's marriage cannot be successful, the next generation can still do it - but the premise is that you and the prince can repair the relationship, not
It has always been the same as fire and water."
The Queen rubbed her brows and looked a little irritated: "What's the use of talking about it now?"
"I have to say something unpleasant. The prince has no feelings for you. If the empress continues to oppose him, it is hard to say whether she will be able to sit on the throne of the queen mother in the future."
The queen rubbed her brows for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed: "He dares?"
"What if he really dares?" Aunt Zhao asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you should know that the people the prince needs to win over are the General Wang, the Fu family, the Xi family and the Qi family. As long as these families support the prince, the Situ family will not be able to win over him.
Nothing to fear."
The queen became more and more irritated: "Why don't I know this? If no one from the Situ family could become an official, would I be so anxious to let Wan'er marry the prince?"
Don’t you want the Situ family to continue to marry the royal family?
Even if he has no fame or military exploits, he is at least a prominent relative of the emperor.
"The empress has been in shackles and can't get out." Aunt Zhao sighed, "Actually, the biggest key lies in you, the empress. The relationship between you and the prince has been restored. In the future, mother and son will have a deep love. After he ascends the throne, he will respect you."
As the empress dowager, the empress dowager has a distinguished status, so the Situ family will naturally rise, and no one dares to underestimate it."
After a pause, "But once the relationship between the empress and the prince is tense, even if she becomes the queen mother according to the rules in the future, the emperor's attitude will determine the glory of the queen mother. Whether she is low-key, quiet, reclusive, or prominent, noble and dazzling, there is a big difference.
the difference."
The queen frowned: "What happened to you today? You kept speaking for the prince."
"Your Majesty, Ming Jian." Aunt Zhao apologized quickly, "I think about your Majesty wholeheartedly. Think about it for yourself, haven't the recent events that have happened one after another made the Prince farther and farther away from you? Even the Emperor's attitude is a bit dissatisfied.
It’s the same...The emperor’s heart is unpredictable, so it’s best for the empress to protect herself first.”
The queen leaned on the phoenix couch in silence, recalling everything that had happened recently, and couldn't tell whether she was angry or regretful.
The queen's majesty and perfect demeanor that she had maintained for more than twenty years were ruined by the return of the prince.
