The Minister of Rites was thrown into prison. Some people present felt relieved, but others looked very unhappy.

Song Qianfan was the one with the ugliest expression. He tried many times to step forward and plead for mercy to help Minister Du out of the predicament, but Su Juan kept exposing Minister Du's past one after another.

The Minister of Rites is already old, and Minister Du is one of his own and is very likely to take over the position. But now everything has been messed up by Su Juan. How can he not be angry?

However, Su Juan didn't know. If she knew, she would probably step on him a few more times.

On the way back to Prince Jing's mansion, Song Qianfan had a gloomy face and none of the guards dared to say anything.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Su Juan was questioned by Song Qianfan as soon as she entered the mansion.

"Princess, have you swallowed all the words I said two days ago!?"

Su Juan was confused: "?"

[Brother, are you okay? ]

[Looking for trouble again? 】

Prince Jing and his wife, who had just returned, hurriedly protected Su Juan behind them. They knew that their son had recently been on good terms with the family of the Minister of Rites, but they did not expect that their son would scold his daughter-in-law for this. It was really absurd!

"Minister Du behaved improperly and brought about his own destruction. Even if you have a good relationship with him and are angry about this matter, you should not take it out on Juaner!" Princess Jing scolded her son.

Su Juan understood after hearing this, [So Minister Du is Song Qianfan's man, I didn't know that.]

Song Qianfan sneered, "Foolish and ignorant woman! Now you know how much you have delayed this prince's business?"

[This prison is a good one, a wonderful one! ]

"......" Prince Jing and Princess Jing looked at each other with complicated expressions.

If this continues, my son and daughter-in-law will probably become a pair of resentful lovers.

Song Qianfan's face looked ugly, dark and green, as if he was about to faint from anger.

"Fan'er, Juan'er is your wife, how can you speak ill of her?" Princess Jing advised earnestly, hoping to bring the couple closer.

Prince Jing at the side couldn't help but scold, "Juan'er, what did you do wrong? You lost your temper and scolded me as soon as you came in. How did those teachers we hired for you teach you?"

"I think you have swallowed all the holy books you read before!"

Song Qianhang, who was in the mansion, did not go to the palace and did not know what had happened, but since the whole family was arguing like that and even his father and mother said so, it must be his eldest brother's fault!

"Brother, if there is anything that you are not satisfied with, just say it in a nice voice. Father and mother have said so, and I also think that you should listen to it."

Song Qianhang was usually very afraid of this elder brother. Now that he had found an opportunity to criticize Song Qianfan, he was afraid that if he said less, he would be at a disadvantage.

Unexpectedly, the whole family spoke up for her. Su Juan was moved and wiped away tears. "Father, Mother, don't blame the prince. The prince has always been good to his daughter-in-law. She is a good friend of his. He needs to vent his anger for a while. It's okay for his daughter-in-law to suffer some grievances."

After she said this, Prince Jing and his wife felt that their son was an asshole even more.

I have such an understanding wife, but I don’t know how to cherish her.

Song Qianfan sneered, "Two-faced!"

After saying this, he left angrily.

I don’t know what kind of love potion Su Juan gave these people, and they all protected her!

Song Qianhang suddenly felt that his sister-in-law was really powerful. If she said a few more words, his father and mother would probably think that his brother should die today to atone for his sins.

As soon as Song Qianfan left, Su Juan felt better and thought the moonlight was very beautiful today.

Except Song Qianfan, everyone in this family is a good person.

...

That night, the emperor slept at the empress's place. Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, the empress guessed that it was because of what happened to Minister Du today that made him think of the past.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about the past again?"

The emperor sighed slightly, pulled the queen behind him, and sat down beside the bed, "Queen, after so many years, do you still blame me?"

The queen was slightly startled, then replied in a gentle voice, "Why does your majesty ask this?"

"Your Majesty has promised me the position of Empress Dowager, the supreme position for women in the world. Why should I complain?"

After hearing this, the emperor felt even more guilty.

"If I hadn't sent you away back then, my daughter wouldn't have gotten into trouble. I know you still have resentment in your heart, and so do I."

The queen pursed her red lips, brought up old matters again, and sadness emerged in her eyes.

At that time, the emperor was still a prince and was competing with the crown prince. Although she was born in the Xie family, she was just a concubine and was barely a concubine.

In order to consolidate his power, he married another daughter of an aristocratic family as his principal wife, and for this purpose, he sent her away because she was pregnant at that time.

Later, the queen found out about it. How could she possibly let her give birth to the child safely, so she secretly sent people to kill her.

While fleeing, she entrusted her newborn daughter to the care of a hunter family in the mountains. But when she went back to look for her, the family had been killed and her daughter was missing.

There is so much of a sea of ​​people, and decades have passed, but there is still no news of my daughter.

The emperor was heartbroken. "For so many years, I have no other offspring. Now I think it's all my retribution..."

The queen felt bitter, but still advised, "Your Majesty, it's all in the past. Talking about it now will only add to your sorrow. Be careful not to hurt your body."

Decades have passed, she has grown old, and doesn't know how long she has left to live. She has lost all hope of seeing her daughter again.

The emperor sighed and patted the back of the queen's hand. "I see you like the Crown Prince's Consort very much?"

The queen nodded, "That child is quite likable."

The emperor said: "It's hard for you to like quietness and not mind the child's noise. If you like, please invite him to the palace more often and I will be relieved."

The emperor had never heard the queen say which child she liked. He had previously thought about picking a child from the families of princes and nobles to keep her company.

The queen liked quietness, so he chose from among those well-educated and well-mannered ladies from noble families. But after choosing and choosing, the queen could never find anyone that suited her eyes.

The emperor always felt guilty towards the queen.

Now that the Queen has said she has a favorite, he thought that he could adopt her as a goddaughter for the Queen. As long as she is happy, it would be feasible.

...

The next day, Su Juan had just gotten up and had not yet had her meal when someone came from the palace and summoned her in.

Prince Jing and his wife were even more surprised when they learned that it was the Queen who sent someone.

The Queen seldom summoned any female member of the family, as she was of a quiet nature. Except for big occasions like last night, she seldom showed up.

The palace carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion. Song Qianfan naturally recognized the palace carriage.

When Su Juan got on the carriage, he passed by and saw her. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

I don’t know what kind of drug Su Juan gave these people!

Su Juan lazily leaned on the soft cushion of the carriage, and with the top-grade incense, she felt relaxed and happy. [The carriages in this palace are so comfortable.]

It’s great to be an emperor. You have the best food, clothing and other necessities. It’s really enviable.
