The Empress Tan Tai Zijun looked impatient and didn't take the matter of a mere palace maid to heart at all.
This is exactly the effect Ji Huangzhen wanted.
There are many things that Your Majesty does not need to know, just sit back and enjoy the results.
Because she is the emperor.
Ji Huangzhen smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en caught a glimpse of Ji Huangzhen's expression, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said unhappily, "Emperor, you must respect Aunt Ji."
"...Because of those reasons back then, I had no choice but to keep you outside the palace."
"It is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so I have asked Aunt Ji to visit you regularly."
"Your food, clothing, housing, transportation, and the resources that raised you from childhood to adulthood were all arranged by Aunt Ji."
"She is like your adoptive mother to you. You must not act like an emperor to her."
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun's pupils shrank slightly, she secretly clenched her fists, and even showed anger on her face.
Ji Huangzhen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
"I just visited His Majesty as you instructed. I didn't do anything else."
"Your Majesty, please remember the kindness shown by the Queen Mother in giving birth to you."
"I am the Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting. Everything I do is in accordance with the Queen Mother's orders."
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun snorted coldly: "...You are nothing but a dog of the Queen Mother! You still want my respect?! Queen Mother, do you want to listen to what you are saying!"
Having said that, she stormed off angrily.
Ji Huangzhen was so embarrassed that she knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, I have offended Your Majesty. I will leave the palace now."
"Please allow me to resign as a court lady and retire from the palace."
Although Empress Dowager Li Fengen had a stern face, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
She said calmly, "Your Majesty's temper is getting worse and worse, and he's forgotten his roots..."
"She forgot how she came to be on this throne!"
"If I hadn't prepared for her, she would have been just an ordinary princess raised among the common people."
Ji Huangzhen noticed something was wrong with the Empress Dowager's tone and hurriedly advised, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is young and energetic, and holds the most noble position in the world. It's inevitable that he will have a temper."
"You are the elder and the only relative of His Majesty in the royal family. If you don't pamper her, who will?"
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know, but I am also angry for you."
"You have also worked hard for His Majesty for so many years. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard."
"But she didn't take it to heart at all."
Ji Huangzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Queen Dowager, please don't say such things anymore."
"If you keep saying that, you're pushing me into a dead end..."
"Your Majesty is a member of the royal family. Who would be willing to listen to you mentioning that she was kept outside the palace?"
"This is your biological daughter!"
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en snorted softly and said, "If she weren't my biological daughter, would I have allowed her to ascend the throne?"
"It's such a pity for my prince... If he hadn't been in trouble, I would have only wanted Zijun to be a happy noble lady, and never know her identity as a princess!"
Ji Huangzhen sighed softly and said, "My Lord, what a pity..."
"Who knew...the late emperor...would be so excessive..."
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en frowned and said, "The late emperor was just excessive?! The late emperor was completely insane!"
"I'm actually very happy that someone killed that beast!"
For her, being the Queen Mother is far better than being the unworthy queen who is humiliated every day!
This was the first time Ji Huangzhen heard such straightforward and decisive words from Empress Dowager Li Fengen.
She hurriedly covered the mouth of the Empress Dowager Li Fengen and said anxiously: "My Queen Dowager! Please hold it in!"
"If Lord Zong Ling hears this, you'll be in a lot of trouble!"
When Empress Dowager Li Fengen heard the word "Zongling", she became a little crazy, and then slowly calmed down.
She subconsciously took two steps back and said uncomfortably, "Did I say something outrageous just now?"
Ji Huangzhen sighed and nodded.
Empress Dowager Li Fengen's eyes turned red and tears fell down in big drops.
She held onto Ji Huangzhen's hand and begged, "Huangzhen! You can't leave! If you leave, I...what will I do if I get sick again?!"
"I really didn't mean to say those words... I just... I just got so excited that I just... just... I just couldn't control my mouth!"
Ji Huangzhen hurried over to pour her a cup of tea, helped her drink it, and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. This is a calming tea prescribed by the imperial physician."
"Have a drink, and you'll be at peace."
"You're not sick, you just can't get angry."
"From now on, just cultivate your mind and character, and ignore everything else."
"Your Majesty has grown up and can stand on his own."
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to enjoy some music in the palace?"
"If you don't want to live in the palace anymore, you can live anywhere you want on one of the many habitable planets in the Beichen Empire. Who dares to say 'no'?"
"Your Majesty, you're just overthinking it... Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so just relax!"
Empress Dowager Li Fengen drank the tea quietly before she calmed down.
She rubbed her tense temples and said with a dim look in her eyes, "I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap."
"Huang Zhen, don't go."
Ji Huangzhen had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't leave. I'll stay here with you."
With the help of Ji Huangzhen, Empress Dowager Li Fengen went to the bedroom in the palace to take a nap.
Only after she fell asleep did Ji Huangzhen quietly leave.
