In the palace, in the Yishou Palace, Li Yu was sitting and drinking tea, but impatience flashed in his eyes from time to time.
The King of Southern Xinjiang, Li Gong, came to Beijing yesterday. In just one day, Princess Minghui came to the Yishou Palace to file a complaint. The person who complained was Ruan Mianmian.
Li Yu today is no different than before. Ever since he tripped Li Ling, he has slowly penetrated throughout the palace and now has many eyes and ears.
After receiving the news, Li Yu, who was concerned about Ruan Mianmian, rushed to Yishou Palace immediately, but when he arrived, Ruan Geng had just left.
After suppressing his temper and greeting the Queen's grandmother, Li Yu sat down. He originally wanted to ask about the matter, but he didn't expect that Li Minghui would pester the Queen's grandmother and say bad things about the little breast dumplings.
Li Yu didn't know what happened between Ruan Mianmian and Li Minghui, but he believed in Xiao Naituanzi from the bottom of his heart.
Listening to Li Minghui pouring dirty water on Ruan Mianmian, even saying that the Ding'an Marquis Mansion was too arrogant and did not take the royal family seriously, Li Yu finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Royal grandmother, if I remember correctly, Princess Minghui arrived in the capital yesterday. I didn't expect that as a boudoir girl, she knows so much about the affairs of the ministers in the capital despite her young age. The imperial uncle is really easy to teach."
There was something wrong with these words, and the Empress Dowager felt a chill in her heart. Li Minghui was not stupid either. She looked at Li Yu and was secretly frightened.
Li Yu almost said that the King of Southern Xinjiang had arranged ears and eyes in the capital to monitor the ministers of the DPRK. Even his daughter knew about it. If this word reached the ears of the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Queen Mother knew that the two brothers had a grudge, but the palms of their hands were flesh and the backs of their hands were flesh. She simply wanted to see her youngest son and was unwilling to cause any further trouble.
She was confused. She shouldn't have defended Li Minghui in front of Ruan Geng just now. The Queen Mother was awakened by Li Yu's words and felt extremely upset.
Li Minghui noticed the change in the Queen Mother's expression. She lowered her head and murmured, "Emperor Grandma, I just speculated on the matter and said casually."
"Okay, little girl, quarrel. Although tens of thousands taels of silver are a lot, your father can still afford it, so don't take it to heart." The Queen Mother said to Li Minghui impatiently.
It was only now that the imperial grandmother thought about settling the matter, Li Yu thought to himself, but if Mianmian knew about it, she might not be willing to let it go.
Now that the Imperial Grandmother had understood, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Li Yu stood up and was about to say goodbye when he heard footsteps.
"To report to the Queen Mother, Marquis Ding'an and Princess Linglong are outside asking for an audience." The little eunuch outside came in and reported.
Here, the old Marquis and Mianmian came together. It looked like there was a good show, so Li Yu stood up and sat down again.
The Queen Mother glanced at Li Minghui. She was originally very happy and overjoyed with her arrival, but suddenly she felt that her granddaughter was too ignorant and had gotten into trouble as soon as she arrived in the capital.
"Why don't you invite the old Marquis and the princess to come in?" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
After Ruan Geng and Ruan Mianmian came in, they greeted the Queen Mother and Li Yu with respectful expressions.
"Empress Dowager, my grandfather brought Mianmian into the palace to plead guilty." Ruan Mianmian glanced at Li Minghui while speaking.
Hearing this, Li Minghui couldn't help showing a proud look. No matter how capable Ruan Mianmian was, he wouldn't dare to offend the royal family.
Li Yu couldn't help but chuckle. He knew Ruan Mianmian very well. Seeing her so confidently saying sorry, someone was going to suffer.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment: "Mianmian, you and Minghui have a few quarrels, so it's not like this."
Ruan Mianmian said respectfully: "My grandfather already scolded Mianmian after he returned home."
"Old Marquis, this little thing is just a quarrel between two children." the Queen Mother said with a smile.
Li Minghui saw the change in the Queen Mother's attitude, and she set her sights on Li Yu.
I heard before that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was always bullied by the eldest princess and was not favored by the queen. In her mind, Li Yu was a coward who could not be helped. But now she saw that he was so light-hearted and could make a fortune with just one word. She thought to herself.
He is not simple either.
Ruan Mianmian felt clear in her heart. The Queen Mother had figured it out and wanted to reduce big things to small things.
"My granddaughter, I have spoiled you rotten." The old Marquis said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Ruan Mianmian looked directly at Li Minghui with sharp eyes: "Please give Mianmian a chance to speak, the Queen Mother."
"The Imperial Grandmother already knows what happened, so you don't need to say anything." Li Minghui obstructed her with a guilty conscience.
"The Queen Mother can't listen to the opinions of the whole family. You should give me a chance to speak." Ruan Mianmian sneered at the corner of her mouth, "Princess Minghui is guilty, are you afraid that I will tell you about you?"
Li Yu sat quietly without making a sound. He knew that Princess Minghui was not telling the truth and he believed Ruan Mianmian.
Seeing the change in Li Minghui's expression, the Queen Mother knew that what she just said was false, and she was angry that she had lied to her. However, after all, she was her granddaughter and Li Gong's legitimate daughter, so she still had to protect her more or less.
"Mianmian, the Ai family already knows about this."
"The Queen Mother has misunderstood. Although the process is difficult to describe, the money and goods have been paid. Princess Minghui does not owe me anything."
"What about you?" Everyone present was surprised.
Li Yu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mianmian, do you have anything else to do when you enter the palace today?"
"Mianmian was taught by his grandfather to be upright, so he doesn't bother to stab someone in the back. Right is right and wrong is wrong."
Looking at the upright little breast dumpling, Ruan Geng wondered in his heart, the little doll didn't act according to the rules, and he didn't know what her plan was?
"Who is Mianmian trying to talk about?" Li Yu took the words and at the same time his eyes fell on Li Minghui.
The Queen Mother made a serious face: "Oh, what exactly do you want to say?"
"What Mianmian wants to say is that Princess Minghui uses her power to bully others. This is true even in my embroidery workshop, let alone in ordinary people's shops. If she behaves like this, the reputation of the King of Southern Xinjiang and the royal family will be greatly affected."
The Queen Mother's expression changed again and again, Ruan Geng was also surprised, Li Yu was stunned for a moment and then showed a look of realization, and Li Minghui's face turned pale.
Ruan Geng never expected that Ruan Mianmian could elevate a trivial matter to such a high level. Xiao Naituanzi is really a ghost.
When it comes to reputation, it can be big or small, but the Queen Mother knew that the emperor was afraid of Li Gong, and he must not make any mistakes in his actions in the capital.
To say that Princess Minghui was extremely intelligent was obviously to hold her father back. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother gave Li Minghui a fierce look.
Ruan Mianmian smiled: "The Queen Mother, please calm down."
"You are still thoughtful. The Ai family is old and confused." The Queen Mother sighed long and long.
"That's it for today. It's just a little quarrel between Princess Minghui and I." Ruan Mianmian stopped as soon as he saw that it was okay. This chapter has been completed!
