"Oh, look, you are a big businessman, and you know how to talk. I still remember you two back then. You always had conflicts when you got together, which gave me a headache." The queen said with a smile.
"That's all because I was young and ignorant, and I caused trouble for the Empress. Wanyun is ashamed."
Li Fengmian had been sitting there without saying anything, and now he said, "When it comes to being a good person and speaking well, I'm definitely not as good as Madam Xie."
Xie Wanyun smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Rui'er pays his respects to the Queen Mother!" A young man's clear voice came from outside the door, and several people turned their heads.
The eighth prince Li Chengrui was striding in.
He was only sixteen years old, tall, handsome and imposing.
When he came in and saw the empress dowager was there, he paid his respects to his grandmother again, and then greeted Li Fengmian and Xie Wanyun in turn, being polite and without any arrogance.
Li Fengmian and Xie Wanyun were ministers, so they quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Li Chengrui said to his mother, "Mother, I have just come down from the upper study and come to pay my respects to you. You have a guest here, so I will take my leave first."
The Queen looked at her son and said gently, "Rui'er, you have worked hard. Please return to the palace first."
The love in my eyes can't be hidden.
Xie Wanyun was overwhelmed with emotions, and her heart was filled with sorrow. Seeing Li Chengrui was like seeing Jin Bai.
The Queen then suggested they stroll through the garden. Xie Wanyun tactfully walked last.
Sure enough, Li Fengmian stopped and waited for her.
"Does the princess have anything to say to me?" Xie Wanyun asked when she saw the queen supporting the empress dowager walking in front.
"That's not true, it's just a coincidence today." Li Fengmian looked at the team of guards passing by in front.
Strange, what's wrong with these guards today? They're constantly walking back and forth, and the patrol frequency is at least twice as high as usual.
She originally wanted to take the opportunity to create some accidents. For example, she had people saw off the two railings of the wooden bridge ahead. After the Queen Mother and the Queen passed by, she only needed to pretend to accidentally bump into Xie Wanyun, and she would definitely fall into the water. She also had poisonous snakes prepared in the water.
Even if Xie Wanyun cannot be killed today, she will lose half her life.
Li Fengmian has been competing with Xie Wanyun since childhood.
Up to now, Xie Wanyun is the richest woman and is famous in Beijing.
But apart from having a nominal husband, she is inferior to Xie Wanyun in every way.
How can I swallow this?
But what about these guards?
There was a wooden bridge in front, and I saw several eunuchs repairing the guardrail there.
Seeing the Empress Dowager coming, he hurriedly knelt down to report that the guardrail was broken and was being repaired, and asked the Empress Dowager to be careful when passing by.
Li Fengmian's eyes almost popped out! How could this be such a coincidence?
Suddenly a eunuch cried out, "There's a snake in the water!"
"Where, where?"
"Someone come quickly! Catch the snake!"
"Where do these snakes come from?"
"It's still a poisonous snake! Catch it quickly! Don't hurt anyone!"
"Protect the Queen Mother, protect the Queen!"
The eunuchs shouted, attracting the guards to come over one by one.
He was busy protecting the Queen Mother and the Empress as they left, catching and beating snakes, and was having a lot of fun.
There were several poisonous snakes that had not been caught yet, scurrying across the grass with their tongues spitting out.
The timid palace maids were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions.
It's very lively.
Li Fengmian's face turned pale. He had planned everything carefully, so how could it turn out like this?
Xie Wanyun watched this farce with cold eyes and said calmly: "Princess, I am so lucky today to see such a good show."
Li Fengmian pursed her lips and said nothing.
After such a commotion, the Queen Mother and the Empress lost interest in visiting the garden and returned to their respective palaces.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Wanyun stood up and said goodbye.
The Queen Mother sighed, "I was thinking of bringing you into the palace to talk, but who knew we'd encounter something like this! How could there be a poisonous snake in the palace? If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to the garden."
Xie Wanyun smiled and said, "Queen Dowager, who could have predicted this? Besides, if someone is determined, they can encounter it wherever they go."
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment before saying, "I haven't been in good health these past few years, and I don't want to meddle in other people's affairs. But I didn't expect some people to become more and more presumptuous!"
Xie Wanyun remained silent. The affairs of the imperial palace were not her business.
