The emperor thought about the scene for a moment, and he would indeed be even angrier. "Ning'er is still the one who thinks things through."
"Your Majesty is too busy in the front court, how can he have time to think about these things. I and so many sisters in the harem are here to accompany you! Let your mother go out and see the beautiful mountains and rivers under the rule of your Majesty.
By then, your mother will surely be proud to have the Emperor as her son."
The queen is a smart person. A smart person would not say bad things about someone in front of his or her own son.
The Queen would never underestimate the means of a woman who had the last laugh, not to mention that there was no conflict of interest between the Queen and the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother treats the eldest prince better than other princes, so of course the Queen will speak up for the Queen Mother.
When the Emperor heard what the Empress said, his anger completely disappeared, "Ning'er is right, let Mother go out and take a look.
"My mother has been trapped in Yuan'an for these years, and she must have wanted to go out and see the world!"
Seeing that the emperor had come to his senses, the queen praised him generously, saying, "Your Majesty is truly filial, and your mother is truly blessed."
The emperor took the queen's hand and said, "Don't worry, our Yan'er is also very filial."
Although the emperor said this, he had no intention of appointing a crown prince. The emperor felt that he could not treat his son the same way his father treated him.
Especially since the emperor gave up his power so early and ended up in such a miserable state, any son would reach out to him for his own benefit.
The emperor felt that he did not want to follow his father's old path, and power must be kept in his own hands to be guaranteed.
Zhou Qiongyue and her group were of course unaware of what was happening in the palace, and they had been traveling very safely. Especially after her fifth cousin, Prince Rong, caught up with them, the group was so large that no one dared to confront them.
Although they were carrying the coffin of the old Marquis Cheng'en south, the weather was not hot during that period, so they were not in a hurry to travel.
We stopped and walked along the way, looking at the scenery along the way, and everyone was in a good mood.
At the beginning, the relationship between Marquis Cheng'en and his wife and the Empress Dowager was a little unfamiliar. After all, they had not had any real time to spend together in these years.
After traveling together for a while, Marquis Cheng'en and the Queen Mother regained the feeling of getting along with each other as they did in their youth. Occasionally, when they stood together, they would never run out of things to talk about.
Jin often rode in the same carriage with Zhou Qiongyue and the Empress Dowager. The three of them chatted about all kinds of gossip about Yuan An over the years, ate snacks, and got along very well.
Traveling with family makes me happy even if the journey is long and difficult.
So the group traveled south for more than forty days. When they arrived at their destination, the Empress Dowager was not sick at all and was even in high spirits.
When they arrived at Hong County, the hometown of Marquis Cheng'en, he originally planned to let his daughter and the empress dowager live in the old house.
Both Zhou Qiongyue and the Empress Dowager refused. Zhou Qiongyue had already sent people to buy the house in advance, and later the Empress Dowager and fifth cousin also came.
Zhou Qiongyue sent a carrier pigeon to the person who wanted to buy the house on the road, asking him to buy two, both of which were large houses with four courtyards.
Maybe it is particularly small compared to Yuan An and his family's house, but Zhou Qiongyue feels that there are not many masters in the mansion, and a small house has its advantages.
Besides, Hong County was not a particularly wealthy county, so a house with four courtyards was considered quite good.
They are just coming to live in this place for two or three years, there is no need to be so exaggerated.
They hadn't planned to announce the Empress Dowager's arrival, as she didn't want to make a big fuss about it, nor did she want those people paying their respects to disturb her peace.
The two houses that Zhou Qiongyue sent people to buy were both next to the old house of Cheng'en Marquis, so the Queen Mother lived directly with Prince Rong, and Zhou Qiongyue and her family of four lived in one house.
After attending the old marquis's final burial, the Empress Dowager and Zhou Qiongyue began to stay at home in seclusion.
In fact, Zhou Qiongyue and the Queen Mother often changed into ordinary clothes and wandered around the streets. They would buy anything they liked and eat anything delicious they saw.
Sometimes, they would even order a pot of tea in a teahouse, listen to storytelling and chat with people around them, and they could stay in the teahouse for an entire afternoon.
The Queen Mother felt that days like these were truly good days.
Yuan Bohua and Prince Rong occasionally accompanied them, and sometimes Zhou Qiongyue and the Queen Mother would not let them accompany them. Whenever someone came to pay a visit, it was usually just the two of them.
Yuan Chaochang went to study at Yuxian Academy and could only come back one day in ten days. Even so, Yuan Chaochang was very happy.
Yuan Chaokang ate, drank and had fun with a group of young masters here, and secretly investigated business opportunities. He planned to build up his business here in the next two to three years.
As for Marquis Cheng'en and his wife, they both had to observe mourning period and could not participate in the activities of Zhou Qiongyue and the Queen Mother.
However, the Marquis of Cheng'en had all the clan members in the old house investigated and those who were restless were dealt with. During the mourning period, no blood could be seen, and fines of silver and expulsion from the clan were imposed.
Marquis Cheng'en felt that after all, he would be living here for three years, and it was impossible for him to allow those ignorant tribesmen to jump around in front of him every day.
Marquis Cheng'en adhered to the principle of cleaning up early and clearing up early, and when he dealt with his clansmen, he was as ruthless as an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
After Marquis Cheng'en used this set of tactics, all the clansmen in Hong County became very obedient, fearing that they would accidentally fall into the hands of the clan leader.
The children in Lianzuo School are much more serious in attending school.
Suddenly, a Marquis of Cheng'en and two princes came to Hong County. The forces in Hong County were terrified, but at the same time, they felt that an opportunity had come.
Prince Fu'an, in particular, had only one princess and two legitimate sons, no concubines. Prince Rong didn't even have a principal wife. Both princes were still in their prime, handsome and elegant, and many young ladies in Hong County were attracted to them.
I just know that they are still in mourning period and no action has been taken for the time being.
However, the mourning period for Yuan Bohua and Li Jingyu is only three months, after all, their surname is not Zhou.
As soon as the two men were out of mourning, more ladies came to visit them by sending invitations.
But who is Zhou Qiongyue? She could meet any of the ladies in Yuan'an who sent her invitations, so she didn't have to worry about the ladies here.
Zhou Qiongyue's attitude is very clear, but there are always people who are self-righteous and self-important wherever you go.
Yuan Bohua has always been impatient with these things. Apart from accompanying Zhou Qiongyue out, Yuan Bohua basically practices martial arts or reads military books at home, and does not give anyone the chance to contact him.
Prince Rong did take in two concubines. Although it had not been three years since the late emperor's death, it was not much different. As long as they did not have children, it was not a big taboo.
Prince Rong had no objection to this, so he accepted it, as long as he didn't bother him again. He didn't want to live a good life, and he wouldn't stop her from entering his backyard.
The Queen Mother had no objection to this. After all, there were a lot of people in Prince Rong's backyard, but she just didn't bring them along this time because she was in a hurry.
Now the Queen Mother has given up and wants to find a gentle princess for Prince Rong. As for the crowd in her son's backyard, the Queen Mother only wants to find a powerful princess for her son so that she can manage her son's backyard in the future.
