Even in the afternoon of that day, many people saw Yu Shu, who was beside the emperor, taking Jiang Yi away, but they were just curious about why the emperor summoned Jiang Yi into the palace.
This question troubled Jiang Yuanying for the whole afternoon. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
But unexpectedly, that night, she received the emperor's decree to appoint Jiang Yi as the queen.
As luck would have it, the day the emperor and empress got married was the day Jiang Yuanying entered Prince Gong's mansion.
Jiang Yuanying couldn't believe it for a long time.
Naturally, many people in the Jiang family were shocked, even the eldest princess was shocked.
She remembered that not long ago, when she brought Jiang Yi to the palace to express her gratitude, she didn't think anything of it at the time, but now when she thought about it carefully, everything seemed to have a traceable cause.
The emperor and Jiang Yi probably, possibly, or perhaps have known each other for a long time.
One is her granddaughter and the other is her great-nephew. The Grand Princess naturally hopes that they can be happy.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Jiang Yuanying came to He's room, looking panic-stricken.
"Mother, did you know about this in advance?"
There was a hint of questioning in these words. Jiang Yuanying couldn't help but wonder whether He's attitude towards her and Jiang Yi had suddenly changed recently because she had known for a long time that Jiang Yi and the emperor were having an affair in private.
"Look at Sister Yi's attitude towards me. Do you think she would tell me these things?" He was very happy for Jiang Yi.
Although Jiang Yi has not forgiven her yet, she still hopes that she will get better.
If she became the queen, she naturally wouldn't have to worry about Jiang Yi being plotted against by Jiang Yuanying.
When Jiang Yuanying heard what He said, she felt that what she said was true, and she stopped doubting her for a moment, "Mother, you can't let her marry the emperor."
He looked up at Jiang Yuanying.
"She hates us. She doesn't just hate me, she hates mother even more." Jiang Yuanying blurted out, "If she really marries the emperor, how will she treat us in the future?"
"I am inferior to her. I am afraid that she will make things difficult for me every day. In serious cases, she might even take my life."
"Mother, you love me the most. You absolutely cannot let her become the queen."
"She will eventually come back to get married, and then you..."
"Shut up!" He shouted at her. "Is this how I taught you all these years? I actually taught you to become like this."
"In the past, you could say that you were used to those things belonging to you, so you were unwilling to give them up, but what about now?"
"Sister Yi has already given you the Prince Gong you wanted. She sacrificed herself like this, yet you're still dissatisfied."
"You be your concubine, Prince Gong, and she be her queen. What's wrong with not getting along with each other?"
"Can you not bear to see my own daughter like this?"
"After all these years, even if you have a dog, you should know how to be grateful, right?"
"I've been so devoted to you, and yet you want to destroy my daughter?"
"You are so selfish it's scary."
He had never said such words to Jiang Yuanying before. She was venting all her dissatisfaction with what she saw in the mirror.
Jiang Yuanying was scolded like this. When she came to her senses, she felt even more wronged, "Mother, you really still miss her."
"You really still like her more."
"You're partial to her."
"You've been so rude to me these days because your precious daughter has been wronged."
"Mother, you don't love me anymore, do you?"
He was exhausted. "Don't you know whether I love you or not?"
"If I don't love you, would I let her go for you, knowing that asking her to break off the engagement would put her in that situation?"
"You can't be so selfish. You want others to only care about you. If they don't care about you at all, it means they don't love you."
"Jiang Yuanying, you are about to get married. You are not a child anymore."
"I've been sincere to you. Of my three children, I've treated you with the utmost kindness. I've done everything I could to be kind to you. If you think this way, then don't come to me anymore. I'll just raise a daughter for Cui Shi in vain."
Jiang Yuanying panicked. She said hurriedly, "Mother, that's not what I meant. I was just too scared."
"What Cui Shi? I didn't recognize her before, and I won't recognize her now."
"Is that so?" He said quietly, "If that's the case, then you should talk to the Marquis and ask him to hand Cui over. The Grand Princess wants to sell her off, and the Marquis wants someone to buy her back and take care of her. So what's going on?"
"And you, you clearly knew that Cui was hidden by your father, and you helped them hide it from me. Isn't it obvious who you are on my side?"
"I, He Shi, am stupid, but I wouldn't let you suck my blood knowing that you are an ungrateful wolf."
"Get out of here!"
Aunt Cui was sold out two days ago after she recovered from her injuries. Marquis Anyuan did it very secretly, and even the people around him did not show up.
Jiang Yuanying naturally knew about it. She went to see Cui in the afternoon and talked about Yu Shu bringing Jiang Yi into the palace.
However, He had always been slow to react to these things, and Jiang Yuanying had never thought that He would actually know about this.
"Mother, I just can't bear it. You will always be the first in my heart. I will ask father to hand over Aunt Cui. Please don't treat me like this. Please don't abandon me."
"Forget it. You're protecting Aunt Cui, and I actually think highly of you. What's the point of doing this? Whoever benefits from you, you're going to side with them. I can't help but think that maybe it's because I spoiled you too much in the past that you became like this."
He became more and more disappointed.
When Jiang Yuanying heard this, she felt a chill in her heart, and felt that He Shi would really not help her in the future.
"I look like this, what am I like? Didn't I learn all this from you?"
"You are not like this yet. In the past, you disliked Jiang Yi because she came from a small place. You were afraid that she would embarrass you, so you didn't recognize her."
"Now that she's going to be the queen, you're protecting her in every word."
"Do you really love her? You're just being a snob."
"Did you really love me in the past? You just thought I was capable of doing well and could hold the position of Princess Gong."
"We're just using each other. How dare you blame me? You've never been any better than me. Why put yourself in the position of a victim?"
Jiang Yuanying's words were merciless, and they made the He family on the verge of collapse.
After saying that, she left.
I ran into Jiang Yuanci head-on.
"Seventh brother." Jiang Yuanying's eyes suddenly lit up, "Seventh brother, you love me the most."
"I heard everything you said to your mother just now," Jiang Yuanci said.
