The Royal Highness - C35
Her Majesty was so kind and gentle that it was a blessing to meet such a mother-in-law, but she could not be a proper daughter-in-law.
Beautiful son slightly bowed his head, frankly said: “Mother, it is better not to force it. Chenqie was the daughter of an old official from the previous dynasty, while her father was still in power in the imperial court. Only after the emperor had set his mind on it would he be able to have the ability to use it. However, chenqie did not know whether or not he had the ability to use it. Although the emperor would never betray the emperor, he and the emperor had only known each other for a few days. It wasn’t realistic for the emperor to unreservedly trust the imperial concubine. “Imperial Mother, please allow me to say something disrespectful. I don’t care how the Emperor treats me right now.”
The empress dowager smiled. “I know that you don’t care. If he didn’t bully you like this, would you have spoken to me like this? Little girl, you are a child who has self-restraint, and that is better than anything else in the world. “” No, no… But you are already the Queen, the wife of Zhu Er, his woman, if he treats you badly, other people will bully you, too. Those concubine s, and even the Maid Eunuch’s people, it’s fine if I stay here for a day, but what if I’m not here anymore? ”
On the other side of the door, Consort Shu who had already left earlier seemed to have forgotten something as she turned back around. Although she didn’t hear the Wife and Wife’s conversation, she saw the empress dowager carrying the empress dowager. She knew her mother-in-law was gentle and kind, but the old woman had never treated her like this in all these years.
Yes, the empress had been wronged these few days, but wasn’t Consort Shu wronged. After her sister had passed away, she paid so much for her family, and gave birth to a son for Xiang Ye, what did she get? The most realistic position in the harem was that of a concubine. Now that there was a new person and a real daughter-in-law, she could just stand to the side.
Zhou Huai had already left, only Qing Ya and the people from the Longevity Palace were there to guard. They did not dare to say anything to Consort Shu, but when Xiao Qian returned to the upper yang palace, Qing Ya had to remind her that the Consort Shu had returned once more.
“Don’t worry.”
On this day, the Emperor left for the Qinzhou with his men. As soon as he left, the empress dowager ordered the Maid Lin to pack up for her. She planned to leave the palace the next day. The Maid Lin advised for the weather to be too hot, so it was not appropriate for us to go out. However, the empress dowager said worriedly, “My heart is very unsteady, I can’t explain why. If I don’t do this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Although it seemed calm and peaceful at the moment, there was actually a big problem between the Emperor and Shen Zhe. Maybe when one of them was his own son and the other was his nephew, both of them possessed the same bloodline, which would allow the empress dowager to sense something from them. However, if the empress dowager found out that the two brothers were related to the same woman and that this person was Su Mei, would she still be able to caress her daughter-in-law like she did today?
Two days later, the empress dowager and empress departed for the Qinzhou. The emperor had already arrived. Xiang Ye was furious, but it was his mother after all. How could he be at ease traveling in such a hot weather?
The empress dowager was naturally optimistic. In her youth, she had always been a lively person. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rode in a carriage, and upon learning that the emperor had arrived, the old lady smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents. She said to her son, “He doesn’t dare do anything to you with me around.”
But when the Emperor received his mother, he vented his anger and worry and asked the question, “Why didn’t you stop my mother from going out on a hot day? What are you thinking?”
She calmly replied to the Emperor, “The empress insisted on going, so I had no choice but to accompany her.”
Xiang Ye frowned: “We are asking you, why did you not stop us, even if you insist on going, you should stop us, what are you thinking?”
The empress dowager sat on the carriage and heard these words. Her face turned cold as she called Yue Yang over and got on the carriage. When she saw that Zhou Huai was right beside her, she said angrily, “Hurry and move the emperor’s carriage away, do you want to block my path?”
Xiang Ye walked under the carriage and said angrily to his mother, “The weather is so hot, Mother shouldn’t have gone far. Your son will send you back.”
The empress dowager turned her face away. “There’s no need. I have a daughter-in-law by my side. She’s always considerate and considerate, a hundred times better than the emperor in front of everyone who’s angry.”
“Muhou …”
“I need to go and tell Ruo Yao that our family has a mistress again.” Her Majesty cast a cold glance at her son. She could not allow a woman who had been dead for ten years to turn a loyal son into a heartless and unfaithful person. Even if he treated an innocent woman this way, he should not have done so.
These words enraged Xiang Ye, and he immediately turned around, wanting to reprimand Ming’er and order her to go back. Unexpectedly, Ming’er slowly turned around to avoid the horses, and since the emperor was blocking her path, she decided to change sides and continue her journey. Under Xiang Ye’s dumbstruck gaze, the two of them sat down once more.
