Chapter 549: Concubine Yun is Here
The old lady has an imperial decree, but she is too old to enter the palace.
Neither she nor the old marquis entered the palace yesterday.
Yueying ate her meal hastily and left the palace.
Murong Li didn't come back until noon.
Seeing his tired face, Su Yue asked, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Murong Li hugged her: "Well, there are too many things to deal with. If we don't deal with them overnight, some things will be too late to deal with them today."
For example, when King Huai'an's sons wanted to move, they were secretly intercepted by his men.
It is estimated that he suddenly heard that King Huai'an's plan had failed and decided to leave on a whim.
Before this, they had never thought that the plan would fail and were sure it would succeed 100%.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Some people even ran away with the finances, but were stopped by his men.
Some people were even trying to destroy some important evidence, but before they could do so, they were caught red-handed by his men.
Normally, mice can’t find these important things, but they can take them out directly like this.
The same goes for the three major families. They all left the capital empty-handed. However, how could they be willing to give away the wealth that several generations have fought for to gain just like that to Murong Li?
So some of their forces secretly did some small work, trying to transfer some of their wealth, but Murong Li's people came like a god from the sky and caught them off guard.
Even if someone took away some, it was only a small portion.
There were also people from the three major families, Murong Li, who would not allow them to go to the same place and drove them all to a bitter and cold place.
They would never be given a chance to fight back, and all three families had imperial edicts with them, and the content of the edicts was the same, which was that the descendants of the three families were not allowed to do business or enter officialdom, and they could only be commoners.
Then Murong Li sent officers and soldiers to escort them all the way, saying that they were leaving the capital on their own, which was actually almost like exile.
"Do you need my help?" Su Yue asked.
Murong Li kissed her and said softly, "No need. Yue'er's current task is to take good care of her body. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Now his cultivation has reached the third level of Qi Refining. For ordinary people, it is harder than climbing to heaven to do anything to him.
"Okay, just tell me when you need me. Then we'll serve the food."
Murong Li nodded.
After dinner, Murong Li hurried to the imperial study again, and Su Yue was waiting for the eldest lady to arrive in the palace.
The affairs of the palace had long been in the hands of Hongyu, so she didn't have to ask about them, as Hongyu would handle them.
In the afternoon, only people were arranged to clean the Qifeng Palace, which was the bedroom of the empresses of all dynasties.
Just after the hour of Wei, Yueying came into the palace with the eldest lady.
As soon as the eldest lady entered the palace, she pulled him aside and asked him all kinds of questions, and was extremely nervous.
It turned out that Yueying told the eldest lady about Su Yue's pregnancy, which made her extremely nervous. She simply arranged the affairs of the mansion and then went into the palace with Yueying.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, mother. I'm in good health. I'm just not used to being alone in the palace. I want you to come and keep me company."
She was indeed not used to it, as she couldn't go out casually while living in the palace.
It’s so troublesome to leave the palace.
Also, after getting pregnant, I felt a little irritable.
One purpose was to let the eldest lady accompany her for a while, and the other was to help the eldest lady out of trouble.
Now that she was the queen, the young masters and young ladies in the Duke's Mansion, the queen's mother's family, became popular. Those who came to visit would definitely break down the door of the Duke's Mansion.
After the eldest lady was taken away, since the mistress of the house was not around, the visitors would tactfully leave.
The eldest lady patted her hand and said, "I am worried about you living alone in the palace. I plan to stay with you in the palace for a while longer. Anyway, I will treat this period of time as a refuge."
Su Yue smiled and said, "Okay, you can stay as long as you want, Mom."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived."
While the mother and daughter were talking, a palace maid came to report.
"Please come in."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked the palace maid to invite Concubine Yun, and she also stood up.
After a period of recuperation, Concubine Yun's body has recovered to its original state. Today, she is dressed in cool clothes, which makes her look a little cooler in the hot weather.
"Why is the Queen Mother here?"
Su Yue stepped forward and bowed. She was curious about why Concubine Yun came to her palace.
"Your Highness pays respects to the Empress Dowager!"
The eldest lady also knelt down and saluted Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun immediately helped the mother and daughter up and said gently, "I came to see you, and mother-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. We are all family, no need to be polite."
“Etiquette cannot be abolished!”
The eldest lady would not dare to ignore the etiquette just because she is the queen's mother. If others knew about it, not only would she accuse the people in the Duke's Mansion of bullying others, she would not let others criticize her daughter.
Concubine Yun smiled. Since the eldest lady insisted, she did not force it. The three of them came to the main hall together and sat down in turn.
"How is Yue'er's health recently?"
After they sat down, a nanny came to serve tea. Concubine Yun took a sip of tea and asked Su Yue.
Su Yue: "I'm fine. I can eat, drink and sleep. I'm just not in a good mood. That's why I asked my mother to come to the palace to accompany my daughter-in-law."
"It's a bit lonely living in the palace by yourself. After the Emperor and his men leave, there will be even fewer people in the palace."
Su Yue frowned. What did Concubine Yun mean by this? Was she hinting to Murong Li to take a concubine?
"My daughter-in-law doesn't feel lonely. It's good to be alone without all those troubles."
After hearing Su Yue's words, Concubine Yun pursed her lips and looked a little unhappy. Su Yue was a smart person and should have understood what she meant, but she was pretending to be confused. She had no choice but to explain: "The emperor has just come on board and his foundation is not very stable. As the queen, you should help him."
"My Queen Mother is saying that I want my daughter-in-law to help him find concubines to consolidate the court?"
Concubine Yun nodded and said, "That's true. However, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, so it's not appropriate to recruit a large number of concubines yet. However, we can select a group of beautiful women to join us, and we can proceed in a month."
Su Yue's face darkened, and without any mercy, she said directly: "If the Queen Mother is here for this matter, then there is no need to say that my daughter-in-law will not marry a woman for him, and it is none of his business if he wants to marry a daughter-in-law.
As for Murong Li's kingdom, there's no need for a woman to stabilize it. Just the two of us are enough. Mother, please don't worry about these things. Just enjoy your remaining years in the palace."
“Bang!”
Concubine Yun was so angry at Su Yue's rebellious words that her forehead hurt. She slammed the table. This Su Yue was really a scoundrel. It was bad enough that she was the only woman in the palace before, but now he only wanted her as the only woman in the harem. It was simply nonsense. Which emperor of any dynasty had only one woman in the harem? Which emperor of any dynasty did not need a lot of women to consolidate his regime.
Su Yue doesn't need anything anymore.
"Please forgive me, Queen Dowager. Yue'er didn't mean it."
The eldest lady was also shocked and quickly knelt down to plead with Concubine Yun.
