"Mother, my son has been to Cihang Temple." He said insinuatingly.
"The Queen is meditating in Cihang Nunnery. It is normal for the Emperor to visit the Queen." The Queen Mother nodded. She gave birth to the son. How could she not know his temperament?
"There is not only a queen in Cihang Nunnery, but also Zhou Meijuan." After the emperor said this, he felt a little shameless.
How could the Queen Mother not see the emperor's embarrassment?
Her purpose in forcing the emperor to come was to tell him that this matter was a scandal, so as not to make him think that it was a natural thing. Even if Yan Guan wanted to impeach the Zhou family in the future, it would be in line with etiquette, law and human ethics!
The Queen Mother knows her son very well. If it comes to other matters, he is very clear about it. But when it comes to women's matters, he is very easy to get involved. In the past, he did not hesitate to go against the world for the Queen, but now for Zhou Meijuan, I am afraid that
Another drama of sadomasochistic love is about to be staged.
The Queen Mother did not give the Emperor a chance to act.
Her relationship with the emperor had been strained for a long time because of the empress, and now she would not make the same mistake again.
If she did not allow Zhou Meijuan to exist, the emperor would definitely quarrel with her overtly or covertly because of Zhou Meijuan. Then the emperor would get excited and praise the Zhou family again, which would put the prince into a passive situation.
It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't like King Chen, he is her grandson, and there is no difference between liking or disliking him. It's just that the Queen Mother feels that the future of Da Xie cannot be left in the hands of King Chen.
The prince may be mediocre, but as long as the emperor who defends the city is stable, kind and wise, he can defend Da Xie's country. At best, he will be a futile person. However, King Chen's temperament is too gloomy, and he is friendly to everyone on the surface.
In fact, he is very vindictive, and behind him is the ambitious Zhou family. If this big empire falls into the hands of King Chen, he may change his surname to Zhou within fifteen years...
The Queen Mother sighed silently in her heart, what does this have to do with her? Da Xie's surname is not Fu! If she hadn't promised the late emperor back then, she wouldn't want to care about these messy things!
But please feel free of guilt, as long as she can protect Da Xie during her lifetime! As for what will happen to her a hundred years from now, what else can she do?
Seeing that the Queen Mother was still reluctant to speak, the Emperor felt even more guilty. "Does Mother also feel something is wrong?" he asked cautiously.
"It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong now." The Queen Mother sighed, "I'm afraid everything that should have happened has already happened. The question now is what do you think, Your Majesty? Do you really want to keep that girl Zhou Meijuan?
Your Majesty, it is not that the Ai family holds grudges, but the Ai family has to remind you that this girl was sent to Cihang Nunnery because of her evil intentions."
The emperor's old face immediately turned red. If the Queen Mother hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten how Zhou Meijuan went to Cihang Nunnery!
"I will compensate Princess Anrong." The emperor whispered, "Zhou Meijuan has been in Cihang Nunnery for more than half a year. She has been reflecting on her these days. I feel that I cannot blame her blindly."
The Queen Mother shook her head silently in her heart. This was where her son was confused. If he liked someone, he could ignore all the shortcomings of that person!
"The Ai family is just reminding you that they are not necessarily fighting for Princess Anrong. Princess Anrong has now married into the Dingguo Palace and is very stable. All the Ai family wants for her is stability."
The Queen Mother sighed.
"Yes, yes, what the Queen Mother said is right." The emperor nodded. "Then, seeing how Mother is doing now, how should she arrange for Zhou Meijuan?"
"Everyone has been brought back by Your Majesty. If we are driven out again, I'm afraid there will be a big stir," the Queen Mother said.
The emperor's eyes lit up, "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true!" He quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Please ask Mother to help me find a way."
"Arrange the prince's wedding quickly," the Queen Mother said. "In this way, all the ministers' attention will be focused on the prince and the Cui family."
"Yes! This is a good idea!" The emperor was overjoyed, knowing that his mother was willing to find a way for him, and Zhou Meijuan's matter would be solved perfectly. Although the prince had already gone to the Cui family to hire someone, the wedding date had not been decided because the queen had not returned to the palace.
.We have to wait for the queen to return to the palace, and it’s the Chinese New Year. This matter keeps being put off for who knows how long.
The longer the time dragged on, the more variables there were in the middle. The Queen used a tactic of dragging her feet in order to retreat. How could the Queen Mother not figure out what she was thinking.
The Cui family of Qinghe is the head of the clan in Longxi. The three major sources of wealth for Da Xie are Jiangnan, Longxi, and Shuzhong. If the prince can get the support of the Longxi clan, his strength will be greatly increased.
Jia Kaienke had already accumulated some connections in the court for the prince, and with the support of the Longxi clan, the queen also knew that in this way, the prince's strength would be greatly strengthened.
She went to Cihang Nunnery not only to make the emperor feel guilty so as to compensate the Zhou family and King Chen, but also to delay the prince's marriage.
The queen is the mother of a country. If her return date is uncertain, the prince's wedding date cannot be determined. Even if the betrothal gift is given, it can only be said that such an agreement has been made in advance. Before the marriage, everything may still change.
If something happens to the girl from the Cui family, the wedding will be ruined.
"The Queen is not here." the Queen Mother reminded.
"It's okay. I can make the decision for the queen on this matter." The emperor was extremely happy. In his eyes, such things were impossible to do.
"That's good. It's better to do this sooner rather than later." The Queen Mother smiled.
"Yes, my son understands!" The emperor is naturally more anxious than the prince. The prince's marriage is the prince's business, and he wants Zhou Meijuan to be able to see people in an honest manner!
"You ask the Zhou family to publish an obituary. Just say that Zhou Meijuan contracted a serious disease in Cihang Temple and has passed away!" The Queen Mother said to Her Majesty, "The person you connected to the palace was a distant cousin of the Queen. As for her name,
Let the Zhou family decide for themselves."
"This is a good idea!" In this way, Zhou Meijuan no longer exists! The emperor suddenly smiled.
"There are too many people who have met Zhou Meijuan." The Queen Mother poured cold water on the emperor, "Zhou Meijuan almost grew up in the palace. You have to tell Zhou Meijuan that if you want to avoid being criticized, you have to put away the things you did before.
It looks like you'd better find a tutor to teach her palace etiquette and try to change her appearance. Does your Majesty think this is good?"
"Thank you, mother!" His Majesty almost jumped up with joy. He saluted the Queen Mother, "By the way, this nanny still needs more trouble from my mother."
"The Ai family should not be such a villain!" The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you can settle the troubles you caused yourself! If the Ai family sends Auntie to teach, I am afraid that Miss Zhou will be dissatisfied. Your Majesty.
Send someone there to make her feel better!"
When the emperor thought about it, it was true! His mother was thoughtful!
"Thank you, mother, for helping your son!" After receiving the Queen Mother's approval, he saluted with joy and left.
