Chapter 53 Puzzles
The Queen Mother's mood swings were unpredictable, and Jiang Yuzhu knew this well.
On the side, Princess Yutan was about to speak up for Jiang Yuzhu, but Jiang Yuzhu pulled her sleeve.
The Queen Mother is angry now. If Princess Yutan helps, it would be like adding fuel to the fire. It would mean she wants to see Jiang Yuzhu get punished!
"Queen, I am wrong."
Jiang Yuzhu made up her mind and bent her knees, but did not move for a long time. She could not kneel down.
So Jiang Yuzhu changed her tactics and stood behind the empress dowager to help massage her back, using her ancestral massage techniques.
The Queen Mother felt relieved, suppressed her anger and asked, "Oh, what's wrong with you?"
"My wife cheated. This is not a fair victory."
In front of everyone, Princess Yutan’s loss was a slap in the face of the royal family.
Jiang Yuzhu finally understood the vanity of the royal family after a deeper understanding, and she was no longer able to complain about it.
Admitting to cheating is not a big deal, at most you will just be scolded.
"Queen Mother, 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 Queen Mother 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 merciful, 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 wondered in her heart, could it be that Jiang Yuzhu wanted to report her?
The idea of painting erotic paintings is very good, but it's a pity that Zhao Zhe is too stupid.
If Wei Jing intervenes, it is guaranteed that every high-ranking family in the capital will have a copy of the book, and Jiang Yuzhu will hide in her mansion 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 need your attention."
Wei Jing is already twenty years old, which is considered an old maid among the wealthy families in Beijing.
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 entered later can be a co-wife at most.
It sounds nice to call her a concubine, but she is actually just a concubine.
When Jiang Yuzhu mentioned Wei Jing's marriage, she would not suffer any loss in any way.
If Wei Jing married someone else, her Chunqiu dream would be shattered. If she really married Xie Zhao, she would fall into Jiang Yuzhu's hands and would have to kneel down and kowtow to call her sister.
Wei Jing was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Yuzhu would dare to bring it up and catch her off guard.
"Queen Mother..."
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 had her eyes on the position of Xie Zhao's wife.
If the Queen Mother randomly arranged the couple's marriage, as long as she mentioned one 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, "Queen Mother, I have a crush on someone..."
The Queen Mother did not intend to let him go, and blew on the hot tea: "Who are you talking about?"
If Wei Jing has someone she likes, it will be easy for her to get married, unless that person is a married man.
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 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 likes to act as a matchmaker to help lovers come together. Why not take this opportunity to create a happy marriage?"
Wei Jing was in a dead end with this 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 noble family, did Wei Jing have the guts to say that he was concerned about Xie Zhao?
Even if I say that she can be my concubine at most, Prime Minister Wei will 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 choice. She expressed her determination to pray for the Queen Mother, vowed to never marry, and shaved her head to become a nun on the spot.
Wei Jing was embarrassed, Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao were about to laugh like crazy, the two looked at each other, and then whispered: "The eldest son of the Zhao family is not bad, but he is 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 she felt hopeless.
She knelt down and took two steps forward, lowering her eyes and said, "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 tried to stop it, she almost fainted.
What a sin!
How can you have a good reputation if you are obsessed with a married man?
Wei Jing continued, "A few years ago, the Wei family and the Xie family were planning to get married, but unexpectedly, the late emperor suddenly granted them the marriage..."
The blame for the mismatched marriages was left to the late emperor, and Wei Jing was the poor little thing.
Upon hearing this, Chen laughed out of anger: "Miss Wei is so capable, are you questioning the late emperor?"
Wei Jing straightened her back and said nothing.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and a palace nanny reported back: "The emperor and a dozen adults have arrived at the door of the tent."
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 scene in her life, with such extreme pulling and tugging!
Princess Yutan was a little worried: "Wei Jing is so shameless, where does she get the courage? Yuzhu, are you so angry that you are stupid?"
Jiang Yuzhu's lips trembled and she couldn't find her voice. She was excited!
The new emperor Xiao She brought people in. The queen mother saw Xie Zhao and smiled, "Master Xie, there are some problems that I can't solve."
Xiao She saw Wei Jing kneeling on the ground: "Miss Wei made 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 what happened to Xie Zhao.
She just revealed the secret that she had kept in her heart for many years: she liked Xie Zhao!
If Xie Zhao had the same idea, the Queen Mother would definitely grant the marriage!
Although her status is not as high as Jiang Yuzhu who entered the sect 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 bound to mean enduring some suffering, and it may not be so justified.
If that person was Xie Zhao, Wei Jing was willing to look up at Xie Zhao again. Her eyes were filled with expectation, and she did not avoid anyone.
Princess Yutan was successfully disgusted and interjected, "Thank you, sir, for coming at the right time. Miss Wei confessed in front of everyone that she is concerned about you. This is a difficult problem."
