Chapter 88 Hide Quickly
Su Qinglan was uneasy. "Your Highness, I am Su, my maiden name is Qinglan, and my father is Su Jingyi, the governor of Nanyuan."
"Su Jingyi?" Queen Mother Jiang paused as she was about to serve the tea. "This name sounds familiar. I think I've heard of it somewhere before."
Fuling, the senior palace maid beside her, whispered, "Madam, I remember that the emperor's childhood companion also had this name."
"It's my father!" Su Qinglan nodded hurriedly, "My father once had the honor of being the late emperor's companion."
Queen Mother Jiang and Concubine Wei were both slightly stunned when they heard this, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged surprised looks.
They knew that at the beginning of this year, the prince had openly and openly interacted with court officials, with the intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate, but for some reason, nothing came of it.
It seems that the prince has not given up completely, but is intentionally contacting old ministers close to his biological father, Emperor Yongshun, and secretly accumulating strength to continue to confront the emperor?
The smiles in Empress Dowager Jiang and Concubine Wei's eyes were almost overflowing, and they held Su Qinglan's hands and asked about her well-being.
Su Qinglan was flattered and a little confused.
Bright sunlight shone into the hall through the windows. Xiao Qing stood by the window, his face hidden in the interlaced shadows, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
He was not surprised that the Su family was entrusted by the late emperor with the important task of raising the princess. They must be the late emperor's close confidants.
He observed the faces of Concubine Wei Shu and Su Qinglan calmly, his eyes deep.
As Yuanyuan said, there were indeed some similarities between them, but judging from Concubine Wei Shu's expression, she seemed unaware of it.
But the truth is not clear yet and everything is unknown.
Suddenly, Queen Mother Jiang said in a serious tone, "Qing'er, since you have brought Qinglan into the palace, how about I make her a Liang Di?"
She took Su Qinglan's hand and said with a smile, "I like this child very much. Her father was the late emperor's companion, so she should be given a high position."
Su Qinglan was stunned, bewildered and confused.
Didn't they say that she would be allowed to enter the palace and choose her own husband? Why are they going to make her the Crown Prince's Consort?
Xiao Yan remained calm, "The Queen Mother may have misunderstood."
Queen Mother Jiang's expression froze slightly: "What did I misunderstand?"
Xiao Yan said calmly, "This Miss Su came to the palace to stay for a few days to accompany Yang Shangyi because she got along well with her. It's not what the Empress Dowager thinks."
Queen Mother Jiang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes narrowed slightly, "You mean, this Su family has nothing to do with you?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan's eyes were calm and composed.
Concubine Wei Shu's face darkened slightly, and her heart was in turmoil.
She thought her son had come to his senses and saw through Yang's true nature as a seductive whore, but she never expected that he would remain stubborn and continue to stay with Yang...
Queen Mother Jiang was humiliated one after another today, and her temples were throbbing with anger.
But she didn't want to break up with her grandson, so she had to ask the palace maids in the East Palace in a stern voice: "Where is Yang Shangyi?"
"I've been here for quite a while, why hasn't she come out to greet me?"
The palace maid was so frightened that her knees went weak and she fell to the ground, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I didn't know..."
Queen Mother Jiang snorted coldly, "Go and call Yang Shangyi now! Could it be that I, the Queen Mother, can't invite her?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, "Empress Dowager..."
But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Concubine Wei Shu: "Yang Shangyi is indeed a bit rude. The Empress Dowager is the elder after all, how can she be so neglectful?"
Queen Mother Jiang's face became increasingly gloomy.
Tong Lin, who was standing by, stepped forward at the right time and bowed calmly, "Queen Dowager, please calm down. Yang Shangyi has been feeling unwell since she woke up this morning. The imperial physician said that she is not fit to see guests. Yang Shangyi was worried that she would offend you, so she did not come to greet you."
Concubine Wei's eyes flickered, and she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Is Yang Shangyi sick? Why didn't anyone mention it just now?"
Queen Mother Jiang became even more furious, "I want to see if she is really so sick that she can't get off her bed."
Before she finished speaking, she stood up suddenly.
When Xiao Yan was about to stop him, Concubine Wei quickly grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Yan'er, mother is doing this for your own good!"
She advised softly: "What's so good about Yang? Her father was recently involved in..."
Recently, there have been many major events in the court, one of which was related to Yang Shangyi's father Yang Qianxing, and involved many people.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and spoke in a cold tone, "The matter of Minister Yang will be decided by the emperor, so please be careful with your words, Madam Shufei."
It was like a basin of ice water was poured over her head, and Concubine Wei Shu's hands trembled.
She hesitated to speak, "You, how can you not understand your mother's painstaking efforts for you..."
Xiao Yan's eyes were like a pool of deep and still water. He didn't say anything else, but quickly stepped forward to stop Queen Mother Jiang.
As she watched her son's tall figure disappear behind the pearl curtain, a hint of resentment flashed across Concubine Wei's eyes.
At this time, Queen Mother Jiang had already walked through the winding corridors with a fierce look on her face and arrived at the bedroom behind the front hall.
Before the palace servants waiting outside the palace gate could react, she rushed in without hesitation and shouted, "Yang Shangyi, I heard that you were sick, I came to see you!"
At the same time, in the bathroom on the west side of the bedroom.
After making love, Yang Manyan felt sore all over and dizzy, and let the man put on her clothes one by one.
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at her, his throat tightening.
He was by no means a person of great sexual desire, and he had even abstained from sex for many years when he was at the most vigorous age.
But as soon as he met her, his self-control, which he was most proud of, would instantly collapse...
"Wish it." The emperor turned his head to kiss her red earlobe, his voice hoarse, "I have something to tell you."
At this moment, the sharp voice of Queen Mother Jiang suddenly resounded throughout the bedroom, and Yang Manyan was immediately frightened.
Her heart was beating like a drum. She twisted her body and tried to get up, speaking incoherently: "Your Majesty, we..."
She whispered, "Your Majesty, please hide!"
"What?" The emperor was slightly stunned, and almost laughed out of anger, "You want me to hide?"
