Chapter 155 Meeting the Queen Mother
"Empress Dowager, do you really have to do this? Do you really have to talk to me like this?"
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Which one of my words is wrong? Or is Your Majesty dissatisfied with my praising the Prince in public? The notebook is also correct. Most of the Yueqi Kingdom says that the Prince conquered it! This is something all the people know, right? Not long ago, the notebook heard that the Prince defeated the Sangyou Kingdom again.
"Why? The Prince has made such a great contribution, shouldn't I open my mouth and praise him?"
The emperor's face turned pale and he stood up angrily: "My mother, do you think I should give up the throne to Prince Yu?"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then said with disdain: "Shouldn't it be?"
"Haha! What a good mother you are! You can actually say such words!"
"Your Majesty is blind and blind, I may be old, but I have a clear mind and a clear vision!
This throne should have belonged to Prince Yu! In what way is Prince Yu no better than the Crown Prince you, Your Majesty, appointed? Has the Crown Prince ever been on the battlefield for a single day? Has he ever been trained in the barracks for a single day? Did he just have a good mother who whispered in the Emperor's ear, and he appointed him Crown Prince?
Isn't Prince Yu more legitimate than him and you?
Has Your Majesty ever felt that he owed the Prince any of these years? Has he ever dreamed of Yanran in his dreams?
Don’t forget, Your Majesty, you ascended to the throne by standing on the shoulders of the entire Yuwen family!
Is this how you treat the only remaining bloodline of the Yuwen family, Yanran's only child left in this world?"
The Queen Mother's words made the Emperor look painful. He stood there motionless, as if he was lost in memories of the past.
The Queen Mother stood up, glanced at the Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, please go back if you are alright! I am tired and need to rest."
After saying that, he turned and went into the bedroom without even looking at the emperor.
…
In the evening, all civil and military officials brought their families and children to the palace to attend the banquet.
Yunli and Helianchi were dressed very brightly today. They both wore white dresses. Helianchi wore a white robe with grey edging on the collar, cuffs and waistband, and golden auspicious clouds embroidery. Yunli wore a white gauze skirt with golden flower embroidery, which made her look like a fairy who had come down to earth.
It looks like the two of them are wearing the same couple outfits as a joke
Yun Li felt that Helian Chi was a little uncomfortable and asked:
"Why are you looking down? Why do you seem distracted?"
"Li'er, I'm uncomfortable wearing this white dress you made for me! To be honest, I've never worn white clothes except for my inner garments in my entire life!"
Yun Li chuckled and said, "You look so handsome in white! You look a lot softer, like a handsome gentleman! You're so handsome that you can't take your eyes off!"
Hearing Yun Li's words, Helian Chi smiled, held his head high and chest puffed out, and walked into the hall with a dignified manner!
He was just walking along and noticed that everyone was looking at him. He thought that the white clothes he was wearing today did not suit him and he was a little embarrassed.
But after hearing Li'er praising him like this, he gained confidence! Nothing could be more beautiful than the praise from his princess. As long as Li'er was satisfied, that was all!
And he knew the meaning of "handsome", which was Li'er's hometown dialect, used to describe a man who was good-looking!
"Li'er, let me take you to see the Queen Mother first! When the Queen Mother returns, I should go and pay my respects to her!"
"good!"
…
Cining Palace
The eunuch announced loudly outside the door: "His Royal Highness has arrived! Princess Mingxi has arrived!"
The Queen Mother sat in the main seat and looked towards the door excitedly.
I saw two people slowly coming in
The Prince bowed and said, "Grandson pays his respects to the Imperial Grandmother. Thank you for your hard work in returning safely!"
Yun Li: "May the Empress Dowager be well!"
The Queen Mother, with tears in her eyes, stood up and walked to Helian Chi, helping him up.
Touching his face with both hands, he said excitedly: "Chi'er, you have grown up so much! Time flies so fast, you have grown up so much in the blink of an eye! You were only ten years old when I left."
Yun Li watched the interaction between the Queen Mother and Helian Chi, and stood quietly aside without making a sound to disturb the two of them reminiscing about the past.
It seems that the Queen Mother treats Helian Chi very well. She also looks very gentle. It seems that she is not difficult to get along with.
Suddenly, Helian Chi pulled the Queen Mother to Yun Li.
"Grandmother, let me introduce you. This is Li'er, Princess Mingxi of Lanxi Country! She's my grandson's princess!"
Yun Li smiled at the Queen Mother, who asked in surprise, "Your princess? Chi'er, you're already married? Why didn't you tell me? The Emperor didn't even send me a message?"
Helian Chi smiled and said, "Grandmother, my grandson and Li'er haven't gotten married yet, but the marriage is already set! Princess Yu is here to stay!"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother turned her gaze back to Yun Li, sizing her up.
"Are you the princess of Lanxi Kingdom?"
Yun Li nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Were you sent here to marry?"
Yun Li shook her head: "No! Our Lanxi Kingdom does not need to send a princess to marry!"
Helian Chi hurriedly said, "Grandmother, Li'er has a noble status in Lanxi Country and will inherit the throne of Lanxi Country's queen in the future. She is not here to marry a foreign prince! Besides, Lanxi Country does not need a foreign prince!"
The Queen Mother was astonished and asked, "Queen? If she succeeds you, what will you do? Will you go with her to Lanxi Kingdom and become her consort?"
The Queen Mother's words left the two speechless, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.
"Ahem~Grandmother, this is between Li'er and me, please stay out of my own business!"
"How can I just ignore it? No, you can't be together!"
Yun Li frowned. She had just thought the Queen Mother was okay, but now she was trying to stop her marriage? The question she asked was quite tricky and hit the nail on the head.
But they said they wanted to merge Yueqi, Lanxi, Sangyou and Yu into one country, so that the four countries would become one. Can I tell her this?
Tsk tsk, even if we say it out loud, I’m afraid people will think they are crazy!
"Grandmother, what's going on between my grandson and Yunli is unchangeable and unstoppable! So even if you disagree, there's nothing I can do. I can't listen to you!"
The Queen Mother said with a look of disappointment: "You...why don't you listen to my advice? I'm doing this for your own good!"
Helian Chi didn't plan to continue talking to the Queen Mother. He was afraid that Yun Li would be angry. He couldn't explain it to the Queen Mother anyway. The Queen Mother's opinion was not important to him. No one could influence his affairs except Li'er!
So he changed the subject and said, "Grandmother, the banquet is about to begin. Please go to the main hall. Li'er and I will go first."
After saying this, without waiting for the Queen Mother's response or bowing, he dragged Yun Li out of the Cining Palace.
Along the way, Helian Chi asked: "Li'er, you are not angry with the Queen Mother, right?"
Yun Li chuckled: "I'm not a gas tank, why should I be angry with her! You said the Queen Mother wanted us to separate as soon as she came, she wouldn't find you a granddaughter-in-law in Jiangnan that she would be satisfied with!"
