"But Prince Yun was able to send him here because he must have some special qualities. Prince Yun couldn't possibly not seize this opportunity to turn the tables on the Yun family. What do you think?"
But the Queen Mother felt that this was disrespectful to her by her brother.
She said in a cold voice: "Yun Jing is a child with many small cleverness, but he is really not very smart. Besides, he is just a bastard of the Yun family. Do you want me to spend so much effort to train a bastard? Even if this bastard is trained, what can he achieve? Can he really become something?"
"My brother looks smart on weekdays, but he is very stupid when the real situation comes!"
Aunt Hua shook her head and said, "But if Yun Jing is not sent over, who else can come over? Concubine Xi has been stripped of her title as a concubine and is locked up at home. I don't know what to do in the future!"
"There really is no one who wants to marry her. If she becomes someone else's concubine, who would be willing to marry the emperor's woman as a concubine?"
"There are only a few bastards left in the family. Some of them just eat, drink and have fun all day, some are just romantic, and some are just bookworms. Yun Jing is the only smart one. If we don't send him here, there will be no other candidates."
It seems that Nanny Hua has been with the Empress Dowager for many years. When she mentioned these things this time, she knew them all like the back of her hand, and her expression was extremely calm, which showed her true feelings.
It seemed that he was genuinely concerned about the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sighed and continued, "It seems that the Yun family has given up on this generation. I thought I could raise the Yun family up. If you think about it again, I was just being sentimental."
“That’s all…”
The Queen Mother leaned back on the chair at the back, but Aunt Hua still lowered her head slightly. Looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, she couldn't help but comfort her and said, "Let's wait and see. If Yun Jing really doesn't do well, we will send him out."
The Queen Mother seemed to have been hit hard. She said nothing but looked coldly at Qiao Yuange and Prince Yun who followed her over.
Yun Jing followed behind with his head lowered respectfully.
After Qiao Yuange came over, he bowed slightly, which was considered as meeting the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was naturally unhappy when she saw Qiao Yuange's careless greeting, so she said to Qiao Yuange coldly: "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position?"
"Everyone in the harem knows that you will be the future queen. Even if you are the future queen, you still have to be polite when you see me. But you seem to have been spoiled by the emperor. You don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. You don't even want to pretend to be polite when you see me?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was actually using this matter to talk about, Qiao Yuange said bluntly, "The Queen Mother is really a stubborn person. Your health is already like this, and you still care whether I bowed to you one more time or one less time?"
"You are such a fool, Queen Mother. What's the point of bowing or not? Will it make your body healthier? If that's the case, I'd rather bow to you a few more times so that you can get better soon."
The Queen Mother sneered and said, "Forget it. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just wish I would die quickly!"
Qiao Yuange laughed and said to the Queen Mother: "You, this idea is wrong. I have never hoped that you would die! Let's not talk about anything else. After the Concubine left the palace, are you really happy?"
The Queen Mother was choked by Qiao Yuange's words and was speechless.
What Qiao Yuange meant was that the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager were sworn enemies. They were originally at loggerheads with each other and were both plotting for their own families.
But after something happened to the An family, Concubine Dowager An was sent to the Imperial Temple for reflection, and the Empress Dowager was the only old woman left in the harem.
It can be said that the Queen Mother won the war between women.
But people say that after you succeed, you will feel a little empty, and everything will become boring.
The person who really competed with her left, which made her feel that she had no interest in doing anything.
Sometimes, comparison can be a person's most productive force.
The Queen Mother said to Qiao Yuange, "You mean you regard me as an enemy, right?"
Qiao Yuange immediately asked back: "You mean you regard Concubine An as your enemy?"
This little girl is like a puppy, not a mad dog, but if the Queen Mother says a word, Qiao Yuange will bite her back, making her feel like she has holes all over her body.
She said to Qiao Yuange, "I have always been an enemy of the Concubine Dowager. We have been rivals in love since the beginning. There is no doubt about that. But what is your relationship with me? Could it be that you are also rivals in love?"
After saying this, the Queen Mother burst into laughter, and her laughter was so loud that it could be said that her whole body was shaking.
Qiao Yuange raised his eyebrows and said, "We are really enemies. If I haven't forgotten, it was you who pulled me out of the laundry department and made me a spy for the emperor."
When this matter was mentioned, the Queen Mother became very angry. She stared at Qiao Yuange with wide eyes and said, "From this matter, you should be grateful to me. If I hadn't rescued you from the laundry department, you would still be a maid in the laundry room!"
But Qiao Yuange took two quick steps and said, "What were you thinking when you asked Concubine Xi and Fang Yuan to whip me in the main hall of the Yangxin Palace? You still wanted me to be grateful to you, right?"
The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied and said to Qiao Yuange: "A disobedient maid should be punished! Isn't that right?"
Qiao Yuange nodded and said, "Yes, a disobedient maid should be punished, but I am not your maid. Moreover, my identity should not be just a maid! My identity should have been a princess from the beginning. I will have more identities in the future, and I may be waiting for you to see them one by one and stop believing them bit by bit."
Qiao Yuange had a very sharp tongue from the beginning, and a girl with a sharp tongue will naturally suffer physically.
The Queen Mother shook her head and pretended to speak to Qiao Yuange earnestly, "Qiao girl, you are beautiful in every way. You are very sensible and your character is as tough as grass. But you only have this mouth. Don't you know how many disasters this mouth has brought you?"
Qiao Yuange pretended to be surprised and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Then she said to the Queen Mother with a shaking laugh: "How much trouble has my mouth brought me? Open your eyes and look carefully. How many troubles have I brought upon myself? I feel that my life is getting better and better, but it is all thanks to my mouth!"
