Outside the city, Pei Wanxiao was playing chess with Hua Zhishang at Youxiang Pavilion.
“Chi’er…!”
"The name Uncle has never belonged to me. From now on, I'll just call you Ah Shang."
Oh! I don’t know how my nephew has been through all these years?
"Shang'er, tell me what you want to do? Your uncle will help you."
"Thank you, uncle. Actually, I just want to avenge my mother."
When my mother fell off the cliff, she held me tightly in her arms, but she herself was broken into pieces, and her blood dyed the entire flower valley red.
He hated her because his mother was so kind and had never done anything to harm others.
After her death, she was buried as the wife of Pei Weiwan, the Marquis of Yuanzhong. She was clearly Pei Xingyun! The eldest daughter of the Pei family, the Empress Dowager, who was personally arranged to marry her by the late Emperor.
After the prince recovered from his illness, he went to the prince's uncle's house every day.
"Cousin, I really would love for you to be my Crown Princess, right?"
Su Moyan nodded shyly.
"I like my cousin too, but my aunt doesn't seem to like me."
At the royal banquet, the Queen was full of malice towards her.
The prince returned to the palace to question the queen.
"Mother, I don't care. I just want my cousin to be the Crown Princess. If you don't agree, then at worst, I won't marry or have children."
The Queen really doesn't like her niece Pei Luoyan.
"Chi'er, you are the crown prince, the future ruler of a country. How can you act according to your own whims? Your uncle commands a million-strong army. Even if you don't marry your cousin, he will still stand by you."
"Shouldn't you marry a more helpful Crown Princess at this time? As long as you take your father's position, you can have any girl you want in the future."
No matter what the queen said, the prince was stubborn and refused to let go of Pei Luoyan.
"My son simply wants to be with the one he loves. Queen Mother, aren't you and the Emperor in love? Otherwise, why would you have had an affair and given birth to me?"
The queen raised her hand and slapped him in the face.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you evil creature?"
What affair? Your Majesty and I are in true love. It is clear that we met first and fell in love later.
It was my elder sister who took away the position that originally belonged to me. Is there anything wrong with me just taking back the position of queen that belongs to me?
Because of a woman, the prince and the queen had an ugly quarrel.
The queen was so angry that she sent someone to summon Pei Luoyan into the palace.
Pei Yu was a little worried.
"If you really want to enter the palace, that woman is not someone you can easily get along with. Be careful not to fall into her trap."
"Don't worry, brother. I will handle it carefully."
Pei Yu looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally could only speak softly to her back.
"I'm not your brother, and I don't want to be your brother."
In Kunning Palace, Pei Luoyan had been standing outside the hall for quite a while.
The Queen wanted to intimidate her, but Pei Luoyan didn't care.
After a while, the prince heard the news and rushed over.
As soon as she saw him, Pei Luoyan immediately looked aggrieved and stubborn.
"Cousin, why are you standing here and not going in?"
"My aunt is still taking a lunch break. It's okay for me to stand here and wait for a while."
Has my mother ever had the habit of taking a nap?
The prince was furious and rushed into the hall despite being stopped.
Sure enough, the queen was not taking a nap, but was leisurely enjoying tea and snacks.
"Mother, you've gone too far. How could you treat my cousin like this? You let her into the palace and then left her outside. Aren't you just trying to force her to leave her son...?"
Look, this is my good son. He blames me as soon as he comes in. That niece is not even the Crown Princess yet, but my son is protecting her like this. If she really becomes the Crown Princess, what status and position will I, the queen, have?
Although the queen was angry, she still coaxed her son well. This was probably her only precious son, and she couldn't really be alienated from him.
"What! Luo Yan is here already? Madam, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let Luo Yan in quickly..."
"It's all my fault. I was just about to report it to the Queen when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in."
The queen sent the prince away with just a few words.
I felt so much hatred when I saw my niece sitting next to me.
"Luoyan, you are sixteen this year, right? Ordinary girls of your age would have been married long ago. It's your father's fault that he refused to remarry for so many years."
"If there was a mistress at home, you wouldn't have been kept here for so many years."
Anyway, everyone in this room is the Queen's confidant, so Pei Luoyan is not afraid of them hearing what she says.
"That's right. If my mother were still alive, she would have found me a perfect husband long ago. Now, because I don't have a mother to help me, the prince comes to my house every day to pester me. He's an illegitimate child, how could I possibly look down on him? Yet, he doesn't realize it and keeps pestering me every day."
The Queen suddenly raised her voice.
"What did you say? How dare you say such a thing?"
Su Moyan pushed back without fear.
"Why not? Just because you, Empress Xu, did it, shouldn't I be able to say anything?"
"You are a whore who has no moral integrity. You had an affair with your brother-in-law. When someone caught you doing such a dirty thing, you murdered them to silence them. My mother died at the hands of a vicious woman like you. It's truly unjust..."
Mrs. Pei was eight months pregnant when she witnessed such a dirty thing and was pushed down by her sister-in-law. She died of dystocia on the spot.
Before she died, she told her husband Pei Wanxiao everything. Pei Wanxiao was so heartbroken that he took his son and sent his wife back to the border overnight.
Because she was the daughter of a general and grew up in the frontier, she said she did not want to be buried in this filthy royal city, she wanted to return to the frontier full of laughter and joy.
