"Mother, this is too difficult for Your Majesty!"
"That's Princess Ankang, the Empress Dowager's only remaining blood. She cherishes her like her life. I wonder how many famous noblemen from the capital have been ignored by the Empress Dowager."
"Even the late emperor favored Ankang the most. There's no guarantee he wouldn't leave some 'grace' for his only legitimate daughter."
"I know that mother loves her family and wants to promote her nephews and nieces, but, but you can't ignore His Majesty."
"If things get out of hand, the Queen Mother will definitely be furious, and even some of the senior officials in the court will be dissatisfied with Your Majesty."
"If there is another will from the late emperor... Your Majesty's situation will be worrying."
"Hey, what on earth is your mother thinking? My nephew is my blood, but he is not as close as Your Majesty."
"Even if you want to improve your family, you don't necessarily have to ask for Ankang to marry you. Wouldn't it be better to hire famous teachers for your cousins and help them find a future than to ask for Ankang to marry you?"
"...Yes, I know that mother has good intentions and perhaps wants to help Your Majesty through marriage, but, but——"
Gu Qingcheng continued to compartmentalize her mind, speaking her "true thoughts" wantonly.
Min Huang: ...I couldn’t agree more!
The Queen's words were reasonable and touched Min Huang's heart.
She felt even more sorry for her husband.
This made Min Huang, who had been betrayed by his own mother, feel warm in his heart.
The most important thing is that Min Huang keenly discovered that even in her heart, Queen Gu only complained about Empress Dowager Xie because she did not love her son enough.
From beginning to end, Queen Gu never regarded Concubine Xie as a disgusting fool.
"The Queen truly loves everyone in her family."
"Unlike some of the concubines in the harem, who flatter A-niang in front of her and then turn around and despise her for being vulgar and confused!"
People are probably just so complicated.
It was a fact that Concubine Xie was confused, and Min Huang himself obviously despised her, but he would not tolerate anyone other than himself being disrespectful to Concubine Xie.
Queen Gu appears aloof and cold, and seems to be the person in the harem who "despises" Concubine Xie the most.
In fact, she regarded Concubine Xie as her mother-in-law and elder from the bottom of her heart.
In the past, the Queen would always bring him over, probably not to take the blame, but because she didn't want to have a direct conflict with her mother-in-law.
Then it implicated the mother-in-law!
Yes, you read it right, it means “involvement”.
After all, in the capital and in the harem, everyone knew that Gu was of noble birth, talented and beautiful, and of high moral character, while Concubine Xie was a well-known fool and muddleheaded person in the harem of the previous dynasty.
If she had a dispute with the Queen, everyone would know with their toes that it must be Concubine Xie who was causing trouble.
And in ancient times, how important was a woman’s reputation?
Even the emperor's biological mother was not immune to this.
If a critical moment comes, these can be used as evidence by political opponents to attack, and it is irrefutable.
Min Huang now recalled the past and suddenly realized that Queen Gu's approach was the smartest, as she did not directly conflict with Concubine Xie.
If there is anything, let Concubine Xie and Min Huang, mother and son, close the door and handle it themselves.
Not involving a third person, especially a daughter-in-law who has a very good reputation and is not from the same family, can also appropriately reduce Empress Dowager Xie's "bad reputation".
"Ah Qing, you have good intentions!"
I have to say that the power of "voice of the heart" is still very great.
Not only was Min Huang moved by Queen Gu, he also learned self-PUA.
He directly found a very reasonable reason for Queen Gu's previous calmness and indifference.
When he looked at Gu Qingcheng again, there was a hint of relief and gratitude in his eyes.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh wow, today’s results are pretty good.
Although she didn't know what Min Huang had imagined, Gu Qingcheng was very sure that her image as a "virtuous wife" was completely established.
Quit while you’re ahead!
Too much is as bad as too little!
Gu Qingcheng knows the meaning of "measure" too well.
She has already initially established her own image, so she won't continue to work hard.
This kind of thing needs to be done slowly.
"Mother, Ankang is not appropriate!"
Moved by Gu Qingcheng, Min Huang calmed down and began to deal with his mother who was making trouble.
He changed his address to Concubine Xie again - Mother!
Well, you’re very polite.
She actually seemed more "respectful" than her mother.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This really annoyed Concubine Xie.
At least today, Concubine Xie has become a negative figure in Min Huang's heart.
It may be possible to reverse the situation in the future, but even if the relationship is reconciled, scars will still remain.
A mother and her son, after repeated heartbreaks, will eventually become strangers or even enemies.
"As I said, Concubine Xie lost because she is still alive."
"If she died, she wouldn't have to cry, make a fuss, or even hang herself. Min Huang would have found ways to elevate the Xie family!"
Gu Qingcheng divided her heart into sections again——
Area 1, can be heard by Min Huang who has activated the cheat;
Area 2 was isolated by the soul. Min Huang outside the body could not hear it, but the evil water hidden deep in Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness could hear it;
The third district is also the core area, where Min Huang and Huo Shui cannot explore at all.
This is also where Gu Qingcheng is cautious.
She can control her emotions perfectly, but she can't let the troublemaker (the system) notice it.
In the past, Gu Qingcheng only needed to hide her feelings.
This time, the male protagonist has a plug-in, so Gu Qingcheng has to increase the number of partitions.
Otherwise, she would only be on guard against Min Huang and would not reveal any of her "inner thoughts", which would arouse the suspicion of the troublemaker.
