Mrs. Hu waved her hands to the servants outside the door, but none of them followed her into the house.
The door is closed, and there are three people in the room.
"My good princess, tell me, what is going on? Your mother-in-law has always doted on you, how could she do something to you?"
Princess Wenya stopped crying, her tone still filled with childish resentment.
"Because of Luo Yuanliang, my concubine and I had a few words, and my concubine then——"
As she spoke, she reached out to cover her cheek, feeling sad and aggrieved.
"Because of Luo Yuanliang?"
Mrs. Hu seemed to understand something.
What does it mean that the imperial concubine beat her own daughter because of Luo Yuanliang? It means that she does not agree with Princess Wen Ya marrying Luo Yuanliang.
If he had agreed, he would have already thought of ways to rectify the Duke's mansion.
"But, your cousin came back and said, didn't you go back to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for a wedding decree?"
On the bed, Hu Hanyu also reluctantly got up and leaned against the bed.
"Yes! What did the Emperor and the Queen Mother say? Did they grant you a marriage?"
Princess Wenya looked at her cousin.
"Cousin, what are you-"
"No problem."
Hu Hanyu waved his hand.
"The Queen Mother summoned the Duke, his wife, and Luo Yuanliang to the palace, thinking of granting the marriage in person, but... the Duke and his wife played a trick and suddenly fainted and fell unconscious."
"But Luo Yuanliang took advantage of this opportunity to bring Shen Miaoqing into the palace and asked his father for a marriage. I, I have taken a step tonight and have to watch him marry another woman. I feel uncomfortable."
Speaking of sadness, Princess Wenya began to lower her head and cry again.
Mrs. Hu and Hu Hanyu looked at each other, and there was a hint of evil in Hu Hanyu's eyes.
"So, are you going to let go of today's matter? In terms of identity, status, and power, you are enough to crush Shen Miaoqing. How can you be so suppressed by an editor's daughter that you can't hold your head up?"
On the side, Mrs. Hu also added fuel to the fire and said:
"The Emperor's golden words may never be changed again."
"My good princess, if Luo Yuanliang really marries Shen Miaoqing, and you, maybe the emperor will find a match for you right away, or you may marry far away."
"After all, now your grandfather--"
Mrs. Hu lowered her head sadly.
"The Luo family is now a new member of the imperial court, a popular figure in front of the emperor -"
When Princess Wen Ya heard about the distant marriage, her face was full of anxiety and she couldn't listen to anything else.
"No, absolutely not!"
"Aunt, I don't want to marry far away. Please help me think of a way. I like Luo Yuanliang and I want to marry him."
"I begged my concubine to beg my father, but my concubine didn't agree. What should I do? Ever since I was little, I have never gotten anything I like, but this time... I am not willing to give in."
On the bed, Hu Hanyu lowered her head, and the long hair scattered around her cheeks covered the sinister expression on her face.
"My mother can't help you with this matter, only you can help yourself."
Princess Wen Ya was stunned and suddenly stopped crying.
Hu Hanyu said:
"Well, Luo Yuanliang did have a relationship with Shen Miaoqing, but the two have separated, and now they are together again. I suspect that it is not the sincerity of the two of them. It should be what Luo Yuanliang promised Shen Miaoqing? Then the two of them
I made a show for you."
Princess Wenya shook her head while listening.
"But, Luo Yuanliang had a fight with me in the palace for Shen Miaoqing, and he said, and said -"
Princess Wenya's voice became more choked up.
"He also said that Shen Miaoqing is his fiancée. From the beginning to the end, he only has Shen Miaoqing in his heart and no one else."
Hu Hanyu raised an eyebrow, but he never thought that such a thing would happen in the palace.
Princess Wen Ya was feeling sad, and the next moment she heard Hu Hanyu speak in a low voice.
"If you are not the king and will not marry, then unless there is no more Shen Miaoqing in this world..."
Princess Wenya suddenly raised her head when she heard this.
——
Qin Yin didn't understand why his master didn't show any surprise at the news he brought back. Even after leaving the house, he still hadn't digested his master's confident expression just now.
"Is this also part of the master's plan?"
Qin Yin looked back at the two shadows reflected on the window in the room, shaking his head and unable to guess his master's thoughts.
In the room, Luo Jiuli stood beside Xiao Mingxuan.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu also intend to let King Zhao get close to the fifth princess of Nasangnan Kingdom?"
"And the emperor deliberately gave King Zhao this opportunity to set off to Jicheng to welcome the fifth princess to the capital? To give those two people a chance to be alone?"
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"Yes, now that Hu Jue is dead and the Hu family is sunset, the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu are doing everything possible for the future of King Zhao."
Luo Jiuli smiled mockingly.
"These people are all crazy. They suffered so much from Na Yan Tinglian, yet they still dare to touch a woman who possesses charm skills without a long memory. Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"Besides, I don't believe that the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu don't know about the fifth princess raising a favorite boy?"
Xiao Mingxuan turned to look at her and smiled teasingly.
"Do you think the Queen Mother will care?"
Luo Jiuli slapped his forehead.
"Really, how could I forget this? In this matter, the Queen Mother is more experienced and has more say than the fifth princess."
How many people in high positions, whether men or women, can truly stick to their true intentions?
People like Xiao Mingxuan are probably rare.
"It's just that I'm a little worried about my eldest brother. He has just escaped Princess Wen Ya's entanglement, resolved the misunderstanding with Shen Miaoqing, and gained the emperor's golden words."
"But, after all, we haven't received the imperial edict of marriage yet, so we have to escort King Zhao to Jicheng overnight."
The more Luo Jiuli thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
"Your Majesty, why do you insist on asking my eldest brother to go?"
Xiao Mingxuan comforted her.
"This is the uniqueness of the Emperor. If you think about it carefully, your eldest brother is the commander of the Imperial Army. His main task is to protect the safety of the Emperor and the palace."
"But the emperor asked your eldest brother to protect King Zhao when he went to Jicheng. Wouldn't it be a great favor to King Zhao in front of outsiders?"
Luo Jiuli was startled, realized something, and spoke hesitantly.
"It also gave the Queen Mother, Concubine Hu and the courtiers who supported King Zhao the illusion that the emperor still cares about family ties? Has he started to pay attention to King Zhao?"
"clever."
Xiao Mingxuan smiled.
"Hu Jue was very ambitious during his lifetime. He didn't just want to support King Zhao to ascend to the throne. It is unknown whether the Queen Mother was aware of Hu Jue's ambition."
"But the emperor will never let go of anyone who has anything to do with the Hu family, let alone give the Hu family and King Zhao a chance to rise."
Luo Jiuli was secretly speechless.
The emperor looked gentle and elegant, but he was actually quite ruthless. Even his mother, queen, daughter-in-law, son, and alien court officials were all involved in this big game.
When the net is truly closed, no one on the chessboard can escape.
