In the study.

Prince Qing was dressed as a servant and had a beard pasted on his face.

If you don't look closely, you really can't tell that he is a noble prince of the Dajing Dynasty.

The study door was closed, and Prince Qing bowed slightly to the Queen and said, "Greetings, Sister-in-law."

"Everyone said that I had fallen from favor and that the Su family was on the verge of collapse. I never expected that Prince Qing would still treat me like the mother of the country."

Prince Qing raised his lips slightly and said slowly, "No matter what outsiders say, as long as the Emperor has not issued an edict to depose the Empress, you are the honorable Master of the Six Palaces."

The Queen took a deep breath and said slowly, "You went through so much trouble to send a letter to the palace, just to see me. Now that I'm here, just say whatever you want to say."

Prince Qing lifted his legs and sat down next to the Queen. Although there was a smile on his face, the words that came out of his mouth were indeed horrifying.

"If the young prince says that he can help the Queen achieve her wish, what do you think?"

The Queen's eyes shone, and she said solemnly, "Help me achieve my dream? Then do you know what I'm thinking?"

Prince Qing straightened his sleeves and said slowly, "Of course it's the position of Crown Prince that you care about most, the glory of the Su family."

"snort."

Upon hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but sneer: "Your Highness seems to have forgotten that the Emperor is not deposed. No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, I will always be the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager."

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Rather than having two palaces coexisting in the future, why should I be the only one in power?"

The Queen narrowed her eyes and her voice gradually tightened: "What do you want to say?"

"After the Double Ninth Festival, the Autumn Hunting Ceremony will be held. However, no one can predict what will happen on the hunting grounds. As long as Your Majesty cooperates with me, then by the beginning of next spring, you will be the most honored woman in Dajing."

The queen's eyes darkened and she said coldly, "You want to rebel?"

Prince Qing smiled faintly, not at all afraid of the word "treason": "The throne has always been held by the capable, but the current emperor is lustful and incompetent. He is just a legitimate son. If he can be emperor, why can't others?"

"You want to be emperor?"

Prince Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I have no interest in becoming the emperor."

"Since you have no desires or requests, how can I be sure that you really want to help me?"

"Because I want Concubine Yi!"

The Queen was slightly startled: "Noble Concubine Yi?"

Prince Qing slowly recounted what happened at the New Year's Eve dinner that year, with lust and anger welling up in his eyes again. The queen felt nauseous when she saw this look.

"So, you did appear in the Imperial Garden that night?"

"A vile woman like this, who dares to play tricks on this king, should pay the price."

The Queen raised an eyebrow: "What do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, do not worry about the little prince's preparations. When the time comes, you only need to announce the enthronement of the third prince as the crown prince. Then you will be the rightful empress dowager."

"Ridiculous!" the Queen said disdainfully, "This palace and the Imperial Concubine have always been sworn enemies. How could I possibly support her son to ascend to the throne?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is still young, and as his mother, you naturally have to rule the country from behind the scenes. Just like Empress Dowager Kangxian, who controlled the government for over twenty years, isn't that enough to make you excited?"

Prince Qing stared at the Queen's face and continued to tempt her: "When the Emperor comes of age, I will choose a suitable person from your mother's family to be the next Queen. That way, the entire Dajing will be firmly in your hands."

Hearing these words, a hint of relief flashed across the queen's eyes.

Everyone knows how powerful Empress Dowager Kangxian was in the past.

They are both women, so what’s the difference?

"Please let me think about it."

Prince Qing slowly approached the Queen, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his tone was drawn out and slow: "Your Majesty, those who hesitate are destined to achieve nothing great."

The Queen hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully, "How sure are you?"

Prince Qing spoke in a lazy tone, "Seventy percent, and the other thirty percent is in your hands."

The Queen raised her eyes to meet Prince Qing's half-smile, and sighed deeply, "As long as His Majesty does not let me down, I will naturally not let His Majesty down either."

Prince Qing smiled with satisfaction: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

——

It was almost evening when the queen returned to the palace.

This grand visit to the emperor’s parents silenced the rumors of discord between the emperor and the empress.

It's getting dark.

Huayang Palace was preparing to serve dinner. Fu Xiyu was sitting cross-legged on the couch, playing with two little people. Hai Ning lifted the curtain and came in to report: "Your Majesty, the Shangqin Bureau has sent a message that the Emperor has again turned over Concubine Mi's card tonight."

"knew."

Fu Xiyu was not in a hurry at all, but Peirong could not help but murmur, "Ever since Concubine Mi entered the palace, she has been the one who sleeps with us. The Emperor hasn't come to our place for a long time."

"Mi Fei is beautiful, and she can sing and dance well. Even if I were a man, I would like her too."

Peirong sighed softly, "Other palaces brew jar after jar of vinegar, but you don't care at all."

“Isn’t that wonderful?”

Fu Qianyu leaned over and kissed her son, saying lovingly, "Isn't it nice to just be with Heng'er and Yi'er like this?"

Lingyun nodded: "Of course it's fine, but Your Majesty, the autumn hunt will be in a month. Last year, it was because of the Emperor's ascension to the throne, and secondly, we also have to observe mourning for the late Emperor. Will you go to the hunting grounds this year?"

"The Emperor told me about this a few days ago. Of course I will go, but he hasn't decided who to take with me."

Fu Qianyu thought of the Imperial Concubine and said slowly, "Sister Gao loves horseback riding the most. She originally agreed to go too, but now that she's pregnant, I'm afraid she can't come along."

As they were talking, Baozan came in and announced that Roumei had arrived.
