The Queen Mother's mood swings were common, and Jiang Yuzhu knew this all too well.
On the side, Princess Yutan was about to speak up for Jiang Yuzhu, but Jiang Yuzhu pulled her sleeve.
The Queen Mother is already furious. If Princess Yutan helps, it will only add fuel to the fire. She is really going to see Jiang Yuzhu punished!
"Queen Mother, I am wrong."
Jiang Yuzhu steeled herself and bent her knees, but didn't move for a long time. She couldn't kneel any further.
So, Jiang Yuzhu changed her tactics and stood behind the empress dowager to help massage her back, using her ancestral massage technique.
The Queen Mother felt relieved and suppressed her anger as she asked, "Oh, what's wrong with you?"
"I cheated, and my victory was unfair."
In public, Princess Yutan's loss would be a slap in the face of the royal family.
After a deeper understanding, Jiang Yuzhu finally understood the vanity of the royal family and was no longer able to complain.
Admitting to cheating is not a big deal, at most you will just be scolded.
"Queen Dowager, please forgive Yuzhu. To make amends for your crime, Yuzhu is willing to come to the palace every day to stretch your muscles."
Jiang Yuzhu was humble, but not too humble, and showed her intimacy with the empress dowager in a timely manner.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You are a girl who will not do anything without profit. I have been having nightmares recently..."
"You are too compassionate, that's why you are like this."
Jiang Yuzhu was an expert at flattery, and with just a few words she made the empress dowager very happy.
A woman with blood on her hands prefers to be praised for her kindness.
Jiang Yuzhu stared at Wei Jing with a half-smile. Wei Jing's eyelids twitched wildly and she thought to herself, could it be that Jiang Yuzhu wanted to report her?
The idea of painting erotic pictures is very good, but it's a pity that Zhao Zhe is too stupid.
If Wei Jing intervenes, I guarantee that every high-ranking family in the capital will have a copy of the book, and Jiang Yuzhu will hide in her house from then on and dare not go out to see anyone!
Now the opportunity has been wasted and this path is blocked.
Jiang Yuzhu leaned against the Queen Mother and smiled sweetly, "Come to think of it, there hasn't been a wedding in the court for a long time. Why don't we take this opportunity to celebrate for you?"
After Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, she directly called out Wei Jing: "I think Miss Wei's lifelong affairs require your attention."
Wei Jing is already twenty years old, which is considered an old maid among the wealthy families in the capital.
The Queen Mother had heard rumors in the capital that Wei Jing did not marry because she was in love with Xie Zhao.
Wei Jing's status is high, and Jiang Yuzhu's status is not low either. The one who came in later can only be a concubine at most.
It sounds nice to call her a concubine, but she is just a concubine.
When Jiang Yuzhu mentioned Wei Jing's marriage, she would not suffer any loss in any way.
If Wei Jing marries someone else, her dream of a happy life will be shattered. If she really marries Xie Zhao, she will fall into Jiang Yuzhu's hands and will have to kneel down and kowtow to call her sister.
Wei Jing was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Yuzhu to dare to bring it up and catch her off guard.
"Empress Dowager..."
How to refuse a marriage proposal?
The Queen Mother has granted the marriage, so wouldn't it be disobeying her order if I refused?
Wei Jing waited for many years and refused to get married, because she was eyeing the position of Xie Zhao's wife.
If the Queen Mother randomly matched the couple, as long as she mentioned a word, there would be no possibility of changing it, and Wei Jing and Xie Zhao would no longer be together.
Wei Jing was so confused that she made the most regretful decision in her life. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have a crush on someone..."
The Queen Mother was not about to let him go. She blew on the hot tea and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
It would be easy for Wei Jing to marry someone she loves, unless that person is already married.
Most of the people present were ladies from wealthy families. They were all stunned and looked at Wei Jing in surprise.
Miss Wei has always been polite, but she actually said such bold words in front of the Queen Mother.
"this……"
When Wei Jing realized what she had said, she broke out in a cold sweat. She clenched her fists and forced herself to remain calm, thinking about how to explain herself and get through the current obstacle.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't give Wei Jing this opportunity and asked curiously, "Miss Wei, I don't mean to pry into your privacy, but the Queen Mother loves to act as a matchmaker to help lovers come together. Why not take this opportunity to help you find a happy marriage?"
Wei Jing was in a dead end due to the dilemma.
Jiang Yuzhu continued to question Wei Jing, forcing her into a corner.
Jiang Yuzhu doesn't like to fight with others, it's quite boring, but there are always a few foolish people who challenge the authority.
In front of the lady of a high family, did Wei Jing have the guts to say that he was concerned about Xie Zhao?
Even if I said she could be my concubine at most, Prime Minister Wei would not agree.
Another thing is, knowing that Wei Jing has someone in her heart, which lady would be willing to find such a daughter-in-law for her son?
No matter how good your background is, you will be ridiculed.
In fact, Wei Jing had another option, which was to express her determination to pray for the Queen Mother, vow to never marry, and shave her head to become a nun on the spot.
Wei Jing was embarrassed, while Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao were about to laugh themselves crazy. They looked at each other and then whispered, "The eldest son of the Zhao family is quite good, but he's still unmarried."
I'm talking about Zhao Zhe.
The Queen Mother had obviously heard the discussion and asked the lady beside her about Zhao Zhe's character.
Now, Wei Jing's face turned pale and her heart was dead.
She knelt down and took two steps forward, lowering her eyes and saying, "Your servant's heart is with Lord Xie, the Jingzhao Yin."
This sentence was like thunder, and everyone was stunned and unable to react.
Especially Madam Wei who was in the front row and wanted to stop it, she almost fainted.
What a sin!
How can you be reputable if you are obsessed with a married man?
Wei Jing continued, "A few years ago, the Wei and Xie families were planning a marriage, but unexpectedly, the late emperor suddenly granted them permission..."
The blame for the mismatching of couples falls on the late emperor, and Wei Jing is the poor little one.
Upon hearing this, Chen laughed out of anger: "Miss Wei is quite capable. Are you questioning the late emperor?"
Wei Jing straightened her back and said nothing.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. A palace maid reported back, "The emperor and a dozen others have arrived at the tent door."
Among this group of people, Xie Zhao must be one!
Jiang Yuzhu was extremely excited, and with trembling hands she held onto Princess Yutan. She had never seen such a big commotion and extreme pulling in her life!
Princess Yu Tan was a little worried: "Wei Jing is so shameless, where does she get the courage? Yuzhu, are you crazy?"
Jiang Yuzhu's lips trembled and she couldn't find her voice. She was excited!
The new emperor, Xiao She, brought his men in. The empress dowager saw Xie Zhao and said with a smile, "Master Xie, there are some difficult problems that I cannot solve."
Xiao She saw Wei Jing kneeling on the ground: "Miss Wei, did you make the Queen Mother unhappy?"
Wei Jing is the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, so she needs to be given some face.
Wei Jing looked up and her heart almost stopped when she saw Xie Zhao.
She just revealed the secret that she had hidden in her heart for many years: she liked Xie Zhao!
If Xie Zhao also has the same idea, the Queen Mother will definitely grant the marriage!
Although her status is not as high as Jiang Yuzhu who entered the family earlier, what if Jiang Yuzhu died?
Furthermore, Jiang Yuzhu is a barren hen that does not lay eggs.
From many aspects, Wei Jing is not without advantages.
Marrying your loved one is destined to endure some pain, and it may not be so justified.
If that person was Xie Zhao, Wei Jing would be willing to do so. She looked up at Xie Zhao again, her eyes filled with expectation, not shying away from everyone.
Princess Yu Tan was successfully disgusted and interjected, "Thank you, sir, for coming at the perfect time. Miss Wei has confessed her feelings for you in front of everyone. This is a difficult problem."
