However, three years after Empress Qingyao came to power, her mother, who was promoted to empress dowager, announced that Empress Qingyao had suddenly fallen seriously ill and that she would temporarily rule the country from behind the scenes.
There were all kinds of speculations at the time.
No matter what speculation there was, Empress Qingyao never recovered from her illness and never attended court in person again. It was as if this person had disappeared out of thin air, and even the Empress Dowager herself did not mention it.
Disappeared along with Empress Qingyao was her twin sister named Qingyin.
Since then, Fengluan has been under the rule of the Queen Mother alone for more than twenty years.
Nowadays, the ones who usually surround the Queen Mother and the ones she likes are all princesses from the side branches, not the princes. It can be predicted that the next person to sit on the throne will probably be a woman...
Under this general trend, the status of Fengluan women is naturally getting higher and higher.
Of course, the Queen Mother was a powerful and resourceful person, and she had been in power for so many years. Her majesty and prestige were something that no one dared to defy or challenge.
Right now, the Fengluan Palace.
The empress dowager, who was extremely revered by both court officials and common people, was sitting on a luxurious chair covered with exquisite cushions. She never smiled, and although her face showed no expression of joy or anger, Miss Feng Wu, Miss Feng Qi, and Bai Xiao, who were standing below, were all afraid of her.
Empress Dowager Feng Luan's gaze finally fell on Miss Feng Er, who was standing in the front.
In other words, it fell on Qian Jingshu.
"Finally you've decided to come back." His tone was calm, but it contained a natural sense of authority from a superior.
The other three still didn't dare to look up. The Queen Mother looked at Bai Xiao again, "Bai Xiao, you lived up to my expectations and brought Jingshu back. Go back and make preparations, choose an auspicious date, and hold your wedding with Jingshu."
Bai Xiao was startled, then overjoyed. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Queen Mother. I will definitely live up to your kindness!"
Qian Jingshu looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Grandmother, I will not marry Bai Xiao. I will marry the Regent of Dajing, Changsun Wuji."
Feng San and Feng Qi were shocked, something bad had happened!
As expected, the Empress Dowager Fengluan, who was sitting on the throne, narrowed her calm but sharp eyes slightly, "What's going on?"
Feng Qi knew that although Qian Jingshu's words were true, they could easily cause misunderstandings, so she quickly told him what she could say about the specific matter. The main purpose was to show that the regent of Dajing already had his own princess, and he was very affectionate to her, regardless of her life or death.
What this means is that Qian Jingshu’s love for him is destined to go unrequited!
Besides, I feel sorry for Bai Xiao!
Bai Xiao already knew what Qian Jingshu was thinking, so he was not embarrassed. His infatuation with Qian Jingshu could not be shaken in just one or two moves.
But he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he found an excuse to leave.
After Bai Xiao left, Qian Jingshu whispered again, "Grandmother, my granddaughter will not marry anyone other than the Regent Prince of Dajing in this lifetime."
Feng Qi and Feng Wu were about to break out in cold sweat again.
Queen Mother Fengluan said calmly, "I have heard of the Regent Prince Dajing, and he may be a good match for you. As long as you are willing to marry him immediately and give me a great-grandson, I will allow you."
Feng Qi and Feng Wu's hearts skipped a beat and the hairs on their bodies stood up.
"Grandma, I do." Qian Jingshu smiled happily.
Feng Qi and Feng Wu really couldn't laugh, really!
But they also know that it is useless to say anything now, because Imperial Sister Jingshu is truly the apple of the empress dowager's eye and the sweetheart!
Before one thing was settled, another one arose. At this time, an old palace servant came in, shaking like a sieve despite trying to suppress the situation. "Empress Dowager, there is someone outside the palace gate... someone claiming to be... claiming to be..."
I really don't dare to utter those three words.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Speak."
The palace maid thumped her head, closed her eyes and kowtowed, "A woman who calls herself Qian Qingwu wants to see you!"
Boom!
Feng Wu and Feng Qi almost fainted.
Qian Qingwu, that is, that is the maiden name of Aunt Empress Qingyao!
Although the two of them didn't know what happened to Empress Qingyao more than 20 years ago, why she suddenly stopped attending court and disappeared. However, they knew that this Empress Aunt was a taboo in front of the Queen Mother and in this palace!
Absolute taboo!
