Chapter 223: Absurd! Absurd!
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? You just want to take the imperial edict? Do you want to use the public pressure of "righteousness" to force my brother to step down? ]
System: [Yes. After all, your brother has a strong army and horses, so they can only use public pressure to gamble on your brother's conscience. Hehe, it just so happens that your brother has no conscience.]
The emperor's face darkened.
The Crown Prince and the civil and military officials all bowed their heads and counted the ants.
Yuanruan: [Poof…]
System: [When they rushed to the harem, they found that the Queen Mother had tried to leave the palace once before, but was forced back and was injured and unable to speak. The male Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were once the unfavored princess and prince of the Chu State. The Queen Mother was married to the Xia State as a marriage partner in her early years. They are twins of dragon and phoenix, and their appearance is very similar except for their height, so the Queen Mother asked the male Queen Mother to pretend to be herself to announce the imperial edict...]
Civil and Military Officials: …
Is there such an operation?!
Yuan Ruan: [What! The Queen Mother of Xia is a princess of Chu? ]
System: [Ah? Yes. The princess of Xia is the former queen mother of Chen. The high-ranking officials of these countries are intermarried. But it's useless. The princess of South Korea was the queen of Xia. Didn't the previous emperor destroy South Korea directly? But he was soon attacked by the pillow talk, but no, the previous emperor rebelled.]
Yuanruan: [Pfft. I see. What happens next?]
System: [The male queen mother failed in reading the imperial edict and retreated to the queen mother's palace to escape. As a result, the queen mother bled to death and was surrounded by palace guards outside the palace. He could only pretend that the queen mother was lame and sat in a wheelchair, and disguised his identity to save his life.]
Yuan Ruan: [His disguise was quite successful.]
System: [It’s mainly because your brother didn’t take the Queen Mother seriously. He was always bothering the previous emperor, which gave the male Queen Mother the opportunity to become effeminate step by step.]
Yuanruan was shocked by the "step-by-step feminization".
Yuan Ruan: [With so many opportunities ahead, he doesn't want to escape with his life? ]
System: [He wants to. But Chu doesn't. Chu wants him to stay in Xia to pass on messages. Alas, this is a bit sinful.]
Civil officials and military generals all looked towards the system.
Yuan Ruan was surprised: [No way, you feel sorry for him? ]
System: [After all, he is your biological father, so you still have to show some respect to him.]
The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty collectively have shark faces: !!!
What?!
The Imperial Preceptor is the daughter of the Queen Mother?!
The prince nearly stumbled and fell. He looked towards his father anxiously and was surprised to find that there was no expression of surprise or even anger on his father's face.
The prince seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that his father had long had doubts about Jiuer's background. If that was the case, he didn't need to worry too much.
Yuanruan's expression was the most shocked: [What! I'm his daughter! You're not mistaken.]
The system was surprised: [Yes, I clicked on this melon when I saw the other party. Eh. Didn’t I say that?! ]
Yuan Ruan was speechless: [No! ]
System: [Aruan, I forgot. But it doesn’t matter. ]
Yuanruan was about to ask how it could be unimportant, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed unimportant!
She was originally a princess as the "adopted daughter of the emperor".
She became the imperial teacher because of her amazing magical powers. As for who her biological father and mother were, does it matter? It seems to be irrelevant. Anyway, ancient people had no way to verify it.
Yuan Ruan: [That’s right, then who is my biological mother? ]
The emperor's expression was tense.
System: [Let me see. Concubine Hu.]
Prince: !!!
Civil officials and military generals: !!!
The system continued: [The male queen mother was originally very low-key in the deep palace, but there was no other way. Your biological mother, Concubine Hu, was extremely beautiful, outgoing and lively, and had a photographic memory and the ability to read poetry and books. Each of these qualities is a killer move, and when put together, it is simply a set of killer skills. The male queen mother chatted with her for a while and fell for her.]
The spectators looked out of curiosity:!!!
Is there going to be some romance news?! I want to hear it but I don’t dare to.
They even breathed softly, as if they were playing a game of one, two, three.
Yuan Ruan: [What? She is my brother’s biological mother? Does she know the gender of the male queen mother?]
The emperor clenched his fists.
System: [Empress Dowager Hu didn’t know. The male queen mother was afraid of exposing her identity, so she entered the palace as an imperial physician and had one or two encounters with Empress Dowager Hu.]
The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor closed his eyes slightly: It’s a good thing that my mother doesn’t know the true gender of the male empress dowager.
Yuan Ruan: [It’s okay. If you knew, wouldn’t you be even more sad? 】
System: [Yes. Concubine Hu values you the most. The Queen Mother and Concubine Hu accidentally conceived you, and your mother sent you away the moment you were born, saying that the bloodline could not be disrupted. The Queen Mother was also very angry.]
Yuanruan: [I see. No wonder I was left out.]
System: [Yes. So the male queen mother tried very hard to find someone else, hoping to make Concubine Hu jealous, and gave you a new half-sister who was just born... Concubine Hu didn't care at all. The ancients had open-minded ideas, and many concubines did it secretly. She was also ready to change someone...]
The emperor couldn't hold back his cough.
Yuanruan didn't even have time to be shocked. After hearing the sound, he turned around worriedly.
The emperor just happened to be seen bending his waist slightly, and the prince gently patted the emperor on the back. The other court officials also beat their chests and stamped their feet, as if they had been hit by someone.
Just at this moment, the eunuch in black suddenly came trotting over.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, after changing her clothes, the Queen Mother felt very tired, but she was still worried about the Ninth Princess and the Seventh Princess, so the Queen Mother thought that it would be better to hold the cleansing banquet as a family banquet."
The emperor was stunned.
Yuan Ruan: [Wa Qu, I suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother is still in the harem, we must get rid of her as soon as possible. ]
System: [Are you okay, Ah Ruan? He has been in the harem for so many years, if he wanted to cheat on her, he would have done it long ago. Don't worry.]
The Emperor and the Crown Prince: ...System, what are you talking about?
Civil officials and military officers: quickly lowered their heads and tried hard to hide their expressions.
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [I didn't know before, but now that I know, I have to take some measures. Let me think about how to get her out.]
The emperor saw Yuan's soft and chubby face and thought it was about to be squeezed into a bun.
He smiled inwardly, and then said to the eunuch in black: "The Queen Mother's health is the most important thing, and the etiquette should be kept simple. Jiu'er and I will leave now."
The black-robed eunuch smiled and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The civil officials and military officers were a little reluctant to let him go. Is the melon master going to leave like this? !
But they were all smart people and knew that the emperor was about to explode and it was impossible for them to just sit there and watch.
They bowed one after another and watched with regret as the emperor and his entourage went to the family banquet.
