Empress Dowager Xiao had never liked Queen Duan in the first place, and she was also dissatisfied with the fact that the Emperor had asked her to practice Buddhism secretly in recent years. This time when she returned to the capital, the Empress Dowager had no intention of letting Queen Duan live in peace.
She glanced at Queen Duan coldly, her tone sarcastically cold.
"It's really unlucky. You caused me to leave the palace, and now my child is going to bring disaster to our Heavenly Dynasty. Duan Yun, are you the nemesis of our Heavenly Dynasty?"
These words are very serious.
When Concubine Wen and Concubine De heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground and said in panic.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Her Majesty the Queen, and the little princess are all blessed people, how could they be disaster stars!"
Empress Dowager Xiao disliked Empress Duan the most. Now that she wanted to teach her a lesson, someone unexpectedly ran into her trap. Of course she didn't mind teaching her a lesson.
"De Fei, Wen Fei, I heard that your handwriting is beautiful. The queen has given birth to a pair of children. Why don't you two copy the Buddhist scriptures to pray for the princess and the prince? To show your sincerity, you must copy a hundred chapters of the scriptures."
After the Queen Mother said this, the two concubines did not dare to say anything. However, no one could persuade the Queen Mother's temper, so it seemed that they needed to go find the Emperor.
Thinking of this, the two of them bowed respectfully, then looked at the Queen Mother worriedly, and then left Fengyi Palace.
Queen Duan felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a little strange, and it was not difficult to guess that the Queen Mother was going to make trouble again.
Master Liaochen walked straight to Queen Duan, stroked the Buddhist beads, chanted "Amitabha", and then pointed his finger with the Buddhist beads at the little princess, saying in a horrified voice
"Empress Dowager, for the sake of our dynasty's destiny, please deal with the little princess as soon as possible, otherwise the evildoer will suck away the emperor's fortune, and our country will be in danger."
Aunt Cui pointed coldly at Master Lechen and cursed
"Where did you come from, you crazy monk? How dare you talk nonsense like that? Our little princess is a lucky star, how could she be a disaster star? If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying this, Nanny Cui asked the palace servants to drive Master Lechen away.
It's so unlucky. Their princess is smart and cute. She is well-behaved and lovely at a young age. How could such a lovely person be a disaster!
Xiao Ruyu smelled a familiar fragrance and opened her eyes from Queen Duan's arms. She looked around and saw the noble lady not far away with a graceful and elegant appearance. Could she be her grandmother?
However, the Empress Dowager didn't seem to like her.
Master Lechen's eyes changed slightly, and he pointed the peach wood sword directly at Xiao Ruyu's brow. When he was about to attack, Doctor Yang arrived in time and kicked Master Lechen away.
"How can there be such a rude and presumptuous monk in the palace of the Queen?"
Doctor Yang was relieved to see that the little princess was safe. For some reason, he seemed to be able to sense the little princess's safety.
His heart was pounding on the way here. He guessed that something might have happened in Fengyi Palace, so he hurried over.
Fortunately, we arrived in time and nothing serious happened to the little princess.
Empress Dowager Xiao said coldly, "Doctor Yang, this is the master I hired with a large sum of money. Things have been going wrong in the palace recently. It must be caused by evil spirits. I will never let evil spirits do whatever they want in the harem!"
These words were full of meaning. How could Empress Duan not hear that the Queen Mother was determined to plot against her Yu'er?
Although Master Lechen was injured in the fall, he patted his clothes without hesitation and sat up from the ground. There was some displeasure in his eyes and his expression was slightly cold.
"Last night, I observed the sky and saw a lucky star descending upon the palace. I guess one of the ladies in the palace is pregnant?"
Empress Dowager Xiao remembered that Concubine Li was pregnant and nodded solemnly.
"That's right!"
Master Liaochen said meaningfully, "The lucky star descended upon the world, but it was affected by the evil star. If the evil star is not sent away, not only will the lucky star be affected, but the imperial court will also suffer a severe blow. Whether you believe it or not depends on you."
After saying this, Master Liaochen said "Amitabha" and was about to leave.
Of course Empress Dowager Xiao would not let him leave, she said solemnly.
"How do you think this matter should be resolved? Is it enough to just send the evil star away?"
Master Liaochen nodded, "That's right, but the time limit is only three days. How to do it depends on the Queen Mother."
Empress Duan said to the guards coldly, "The emperor hates people talking nonsense the most. Send these monks away. They are not allowed to enter the capital without my permission."
The guard captured the monk and said respectfully, "I understand."
The monk snorted coldly, turned around and left. However, Empress Dowager Xiao had no intention of giving up.
She glanced at the little person in Queen Duan's arms with contempt and spoke in a cold tone.
"Empress, you are the mother of a country. For the sake of the people and our Celestial Empire, you should know how to make a choice, right?"
Queen Duan sneered. Ha, is Queen Dowager Xiao threatening her?
"Yu'er is my child, she is not a disaster, I will not do anything to her, it is getting late, I will take my leave."
After saying that, Queen Duan turned around and left with the little princess in her arms.
Xiao Ruyu glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao and complained secretly.
[Is this my grandmother who is not good at judging people? Oh, she is still charming now. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.]
When Empress Dowager Xiao heard the soft, baby voice, she looked around curiously. Could it be that the Queen was so mad at her that she heard the sound of a child talking?
She glanced suspiciously at the baby in Queen Duan's arms. It couldn't be that the little princess who had not been weaned said that.
"Wait, bring the princess over here for me to see."
Empress Dowager Xiao said in a cold voice that the Queen did not get along with her, and she did not like the little troublemaker, but she wanted to see what she looked like before sending her away.
Queen Duan reluctantly carried Xiao Ruyu to the side of the empress dowager. The empress dowager looked at the baby in her arms with a smile on her face, looking very soft and cute.
It doesn't look like a disaster.
She thought secretly in her heart, but she had to admit that the little princess was cute.
However, her decision remained unchanged.
Duan Yun was the empress, a marriage bestowed by the late emperor, but she had never agreed to it. This daughter-in-law was born into a military family and had been wielding swords since she was young.
She doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all. Even if she is pretending to be one in the palace, she doesn't look like one.
Xiao Ruyu suddenly remembered the plot of the original book. The famous old naughty boy in the palace was Empress Dowager Xiao, who was the most incompatible with her mother. The two would quarrel whenever they met. In short, there was no time for them to coexist peacefully.
At this moment, she even wanted to send herself away. She was not a disaster star at all.
[My poor grandmother, you probably don't know that Master Liaochen was sent by Prime Minister Lu just to throw dirty water on me.]
[My poor mother, the Queen, was almost killed by Concubine Li when she gave birth to me. The Queen Mother actually helped Concubine Li leave the cold palace. There will be a storm in the harem in the future. ]
Empress Dowager Xiao paused. Something was wrong. Why had she never heard anyone talk about this matter? No one mentioned it since she returned to the palace.
