Jiang Yi then looked at Wei Yue, who knelt beside him even more humbly.
"This humble woman greets Her Majesty the Queen."
"Cousin, please stand up." Jiang Yi personally helped the person up. She said with some surprise, "Generally speaking, if ordinary people encounter such an opportunity, they will rarely be as rational as you."
"My cousin has exceeded my expectations, and I am very pleased."
"My cousin has such a mindset. If she gets the chance, I think she will achieve something."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Wei Yue smiled bitterly. "When I first heard the Queen Mother's words, my heart was moved for a moment."
"How could I not be moved? Every young girl has a crush on someone. When she's ready to marry, she also wants to marry the best man."
"But being someone's mother is different after all."
"No matter how wonderful the imperial palace is, it is not a place to be without my children."
"I don't want others to talk about me in front of my children, saying that I am a shameless evil woman who seduced the king. I don't want them to think that I have abandoned them."
"I am no longer a naive little girl. I was moved at first, but later I always think that everything has a price."
"So what's the price of being the Queen Mother's pawn, gambling for wealth and glory? Probably my two children, and my own life."
"When I think about it this way, I feel it's not worth it."
"Children are a mother's greatest weakness. Compared to her children, such temptations are even more insignificant to me."
"Fortunately, I made the right choice. Especially after seeing the Emperor's feelings for the Empress, I am even more grateful."
"It was the Queen Mother who threatened me with my two children and abducted me into the palace. I beg the Emperor and the Empress to spare my life and let me return home."
Wei Yue knelt down and begged.
"Of course, cousin, get up first." Jiang Yi said, "I know a little bit about your family's situation."
"In fact, ever since you came to Beijing, your husband has believed that you eloped with someone. He vented his anger on your two children, especially your youngest daughter."
"Your husband even wanted to sell your little daughter."
Wei Yue's face turned pale immediately. "How could he..."
Wei Yue hurriedly said, "My Lady, I have to go home quickly."
"Don't worry." Jiang Yi continued, "After I found out, I had them brought to the capital and settled in the house where I used to live. I'll have someone take you there."
Wei Yue hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. You are truly my benefactor."
"Since we are cousins, it doesn't matter whether you thank me or not. But do you still want to go home? Your husband doesn't seem to be a good match for you." Jiang Yi said with some concern.
Wei Yue smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how bad he is, he is still the biological father of my children and will support them."
"Besides, where can I go if I leave him?"
Jiang Yi remained noncommittal. "It's really not good to let children live in such an environment."
She knew that Wei Yue cared about her two children the most.
"It is indeed difficult for us women to survive in this world. It was not so difficult before, but now that I know about this, I will not ignore you."
Wei Yue hurriedly said, "Sorry to bother you, Madam. Although I am your cousin, I have never taken care of you, so how dare I..."
Jiang Yi said, "Although I have never been with my cousin before, so what? Even if my cousin is someone I don't know, I have seen this injustice and I have the ability, so why not help?"
"Besides, this is just a piece of cake for me."
"Because I feel that my cousin is a person who knows how to repay kindness, I am willing to help her."
"That house has been lying idle for a long time, so I will give it to you."
Afraid that Wei Yue would not accept, Jiang Yi hurriedly said, "I'll lend it to you."
She then asked, "What skills does my cousin have?"
Wei Yue could see that Jiang Yi really wanted to help her.
She was a little moved.
Jiang Yi is the noble person in her life. If she seizes this opportunity, she can truly change her destiny.
Wei Yue said, "My embroidery is pretty good, and I can cook some food, too."
Jiang Yi said, "Then you can stay in the palace for the time being and learn some skills from the palace embroiderers and imperial chefs. In the future, whether you make a living with your skills or do some small business, you will be able to support yourself."
"It won't take long. I can help you take care of them first."
Wei Yue said, "I obey the Queen."
Jiang Yi said, "Well, they've been terrified these days. You should go out of the palace and appease them first, and then we can talk about other things."
Wei Yue agreed repeatedly.
She continued to express her gratitude to Jiang Yi, "I don't know how many lifetimes I've been blessed to have met such a kind person like the Queen."
Jiang Yi said: "You are a good person, and good people will naturally have good fortune."
After seeing Wei Yue off, it was already late.
The emperor immediately pestered her, "Sister, you were talking to someone else just now and forgot about me. I'm hungry, and my stomach has been growling several times, but you didn't hear it at all."
He was a little dissatisfied.
He behaved like that just now, but his sister didn't praise him, but praised Wei Yue instead.
But he couldn't say this out loud, otherwise it would seem that he was too stingy.
Jiang Yi tried to coax him, saying, "I was talking to my cousin just now and was so engrossed that I forgot about An Ning."
"This is the first time I've met such a compatible relative, so it's inevitable that I've been talking a lot. I think Aning can understand."
