(Sorry for being late, everyone, I have been a little busy these two days. Although it is a little late, it will not stop updating. In addition, this book is not ready to be put on the shelves at the moment. If there are flowers, I will smash a few flowers. Haha) "Mother, you
Don't listen to people's nonsense, Sister Yun Fei is definitely not the kind of person you imagined. She treats her son like her own sister, how can she harm him?" Xiao Yingying saw Shao Yan's ugly face and hurriedly walked out.
Intercede for Yunyun
Empress Dowager Guo's face sank and she gritted her teeth and said, "Stop defending her. She knows people but doesn't know her heart. This girl is simply not what she looks like. She is jealous that you are pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, and she is afraid that she will fall out of favor, so
Only then could he come up with such a dirty trick."
Shao Yan felt very uncomfortable when he heard the words "Xia San Luan". As the ancients said, a horse's strength can be seen from a distance, and a person's heart can be seen over time. He knows better than anyone else what kind of person he is, who is the Queen Mother?
What he said was inconsistent. In his opinion, the biggest shortcoming of this girl was that she was too honest. No matter how others criticized her or criticized her, she would not be angry, but would repay them with kindness, until those who opposed her were completely convinced.
If post-election matters are now decided by ** voting, this girl will definitely come out on top.
At this moment, seeing the old Queen Mother being so slanderous, he took two steps forward and said angrily: "Mother, I would like to vouch for my personal integrity. This matter was definitely not done by this way. You don't know how Yun Yun has treated you for so long."
, it is understandable that others would look at her like this without knowing the truth, but you are a highly respected Queen Mother, if Yun Yun knew that you misunderstood her, what do you think she would think?"
Empress Dowager Guo raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does the emperor mean by saying that the Ai family's eyesight is so dim that they can no longer tell right from wrong?"
"My son, that's not what I meant."
"Okay, the emperor doesn't have to intercede for this girl. The Ai family knows that she still hates the Ai family for killing her whole family, so she wants to take this opportunity to cut off the relationship between our Chen family," Queen Mother Guo said coldly.
There was a hint of contempt in it, "There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. Even if she wants to avenge her family, she can go directly to the Ai family. At worst, the Ai family will pay for it with their lives, but Yingying and the child in her belly are innocent.
, Why did she do this? She is so cruel and ruthless at such a young age. The Ai family really misjudged her."
You are judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. Shao Yan wanted to say this, but he swallowed it again. Although the old queen mother was not his biological mother, in general, this old lady
The woman was kind to him, but the old queen mother's far-fetched and arbitrary behavior reminded Shao Yan of the historical case of Qin Hui accusing Yue Fei of treason, and he sighed and said: "Why bother to accuse me? Since my son, I have no excuses."
I can't dispel the doubts in my mother's heart, but I still hope that my mother will not make this matter public until the truth is found out." When he said this, Shao Yan glared at Xiao Yingying and all the maids present, and said angrily: "Including
The same goes for you, if I hear someone outside making lies and deceiving people, I will definitely not be lenient. Do you hear me clearly?"
The palace ladies responded in unison: "Yes"
"I obey," Xiao Yingying trembled and bent down.
"All the evidence and evidence are there, what else are you searching for?" Empress Dowager Guo said impatiently, and handed a package of things wrapped in yellow paper to Shao Yan, "This is what the Ai family just found from Concubine Yun's palace.
of saffron, for the emperor to see for himself"
Shao Yan peeled off the outer layers of yellow paper, only to find some dried red petals wrapped inside. A strong scent of jasmine came to his nostrils, and he couldn't help but be startled. Could this be the legendary saffron? Although he didn't know it yet
I have seen this plant with my own eyes, but I can guess a bit from its appearance. It is said that saffron is a rare medicinal material among the people, and it is difficult to buy it in ordinary drug stores. It is strange, how can there be such a medicinal material in such a palace? Shao Yan
frowning suspiciously
Seeing that his expression was abnormal, Empress Dowager Guo cleared her throat and continued: "The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, so you should ignore the affairs of the harem. The Ai family has ordered people to imprison Concubine Yun in the heavenly prison. Sorry -"
"What? You put Yunyun in the Heavenly Prison? How is this possible?" Shao Yan was very anxious when he learned that Yunyun was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and hurriedly cut off Queen Mother Guo's words, "The Queen Mother convicted Yunyun without even trying him.
, don’t you think this is too far-fetched? Besides, I am still ill and my body is relatively weak, how can I withstand the environment in a prison? "
"That's her fault." Empress Dowager Guo showed a victor's attitude and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Emperor, fortunately nothing big happened this time. The Ai family doesn't want to embarrass this girl. They can just lock her up for a few days and treat it as a crime."
A small punishment is a big punishment, but whether she can still stay in the palace in the future depends on her attitude of pleading guilty."
Bullshit, she has not committed a crime, so what kind of "pleading attitude" do you want? Aren't you just torturing people? Shao Yan felt aggrieved in his heart, but he couldn't show any dissatisfaction on the surface. After thinking about it, he said: "The Queen Mother is absolutely right.
, the prince breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. If he has indeed done such a thing, I will never tolerate adultery, but if she is unjustly accused, I will feel very uneasy in my heart. In addition to looking forward to marrying a good husband, a woman's dignity in this life
It is also very important. You must know that no amount of gold and silver can buy a person's dignity. Are you right, Queen Mother?"
Dignity is one of the beliefs that women live by. If a woman is slandered as having bad character or misbehavior, the feeling is actually worse than death. In order to win favor, Empress Dowager Guo was also slandered by the concubine of the late emperor, so
Lots of feelings
"Otherwise, please mother, please hand over this case to me, and I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it." Shao Yan took advantage of her wavering position and hurriedly added on the side.
"Well, I'll leave the Ai family alone." Empress Dowager Guo knew that she couldn't defeat the emperor after all, so instead of being in such a stalemate, she might as well fulfill his wish.
After hearing this, Xiao Yingying looked unhappy. Fortunately, she had been canonized as queen, and she felt quite proud, so she quickly turned from worry to joy.
Shao Yan had already noticed these details. He asked himself that he could read the hearts of all girls, but he could not guess the thoughts of the 'mother-to-be' in front of him. Since the Queen Mother supports her so much, why don't I just go along with it? But
I hope she can curb those intrigues after becoming queen.
In the morning of the next day, Shao Yan mentioned the matter of establishing a queen in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The ministers expressed their opinions. Some proposed to establish Yunyun, and some proposed to establish Xiao Yingying. However, when everyone heard that the emperor decided to establish Xiao Yingying as the queen,
Sometimes, even if I disagree in my heart, I can only nod my head and say yes without conscience.
According to the old system, the emperor had to hold a coronation ceremony after he became emperor, but Shao Yan was indifferent to this matter because he knew very well what the so-called 'coronation ceremony' meant. To put it simply, it was to hand over the Phoenix Seal to Xiao Yingying.
In the entire harem, whoever owns the Feng Xi is the boss. With Xiao Yingying's personality, once she masters the Feng Xi, she will make the entire harem uneasy. Shao Yan, out of various considerations, said that 'the country is in danger.'
Because of this, Xiao Yingying deliberately delayed the coronation ceremony. Seeing that she was only a queen in name, Xiao Yingying was very angry.
In the evening of that day, Xiao Yingying led four maids, four eunuchs, and a group of nine people to the sky prison. They saw Yun Yun wearing a white prison uniform, sitting by the bed holding a thin embroidery needle.
She patiently mended a worn-out dragon robe stitch by stitch. When she saw the Queen arriving, she quickly put down her work and knelt down across the iron bars of the cell. "I have seen the Queen."
Xiao Yingying hummed and did not call her to get up. Instead, she paid attention to the dragon robe on the bed and said coldly: "Sister Yun Fei is such a diligent person. Even though everyone is locked up, she is still thinking about her.
I’m sewing the emperor’s robe, and tomorrow I will also bring the phoenix robes of several concubines. Anyway, my sister has nothing to do, so she might as well kill the time.” As he spoke, he opened his arms in front of Yunyun, deliberately showing off the robes on his body.
