Chapter 651: There is no mother-daughter relationship after becoming emperor!
There are pros and cons. Da Zhou is so big, I don’t believe that Shen Lanxi has millions of eyes and millions of hands to take care of everything.
The old Grand Tutor no longer attended court, and his vacancy was soon filled by the people below him.
At the same time, letters from the second sons of the Shen family were sent back to various bases.
"Yuan Xu said that it was a good idea for Lan Xi to arrange for the children to attend the folk academy. The children of the Shen family should not be ignorant of the five grains, but should be able to understand the sentiments and opinions of the people."
"The letter Yuan Jing sent back was written in a similar way. He also encouraged Emei to visit her aunt often and learn from her."
"Yuan Kun and the others' replies were similar. They all supported Lan Xi in sending the children to private academies."
"Could it be that Lan Xi is really considering her children at home?" Shen Conglian and others pondered silently.
"Since the children said so, there must be some reason for what Lan Xi did. When you think about it this way, it makes sense!" In the end, Shen Lan Xi will definitely choose an heir from among the children. She has no reason to spoil her children.
"What do you think? Does Lan Xi really not want her own child?" Liu asked what Miao was thinking.
Several people shook their heads, thinking that it would be better for her not to have her own child.
"Has the princess ever cared about Lan Xi's offspring?" Shen Congli asked in a low voice.
Liu curled her lips and said, "What she cares about most every day is the Buddha statue in the room. She wishes she could kneel in front of the Buddha every day."
Miao was puzzled: "As a mother, why isn't she anxious about her child's heir?"
Who knows this?
Last time, when the old lady and Shen Congyi had such a big incident, she didn't even come out of the house. That was a major event that would change the dynasty and kill all the descendants.
Compared with such a big thing, what are mere offspring?
Liu thought of something: "Do you think the eldest sister-in-law is strange? I saw Emei bringing her younger brothers and sisters to pay respects to her several times. Not only did she avoid them, but the servants also didn't take the children seriously."
Servants are the best at reading people's faces. They will imitate the attitude of their masters.
It is obvious that Zhou Xinrou doesn't take her grandchildren seriously at all.
"Maybe the princess was irritated here?" Liu pointed to her head.
Miao thought it made sense and nodded.
"When she was exiled to Dongchuan, I felt that something was wrong with her. How could someone remain silent when such a big thing happened? After the Shen family was sentenced to exile, she never begged for mercy or made a fuss." The more Liu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Miao also felt something was wrong, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Should we tell His Majesty?"
say what?
That her mother was stimulated?
"Let's talk to big brother first!" Shen Conglian was scared at the thought of coming into contact with Shen Lanxi.
The same goes for Shen Congli. He still doesn't dare to go out.
Soon Shen Lanxi came over in person with six imperial doctors.
"I heard that my mother was unwell, so I brought the imperial physician here."
Zhou Xinrou looked at Shen Lanxi coldly: "You finally remembered me?"
Shen Lanxi waved her hand and asked the imperial doctors to leave.
"Mother, what you said is true. I was busy and finally squeezed out an hour to rush here from the palace."
However, Zhou Xinrou was still bothered by Shen Lanxi's previous promise.
"Before, you said that if you solve the Jinmen Rebellion, you will let me win and enter the palace. Is this what you said?"
Shen Lanxi nodded, suddenly remembered something, and patted her forehead.
"So this is what mother was talking about. I was so busy that I forgot about it."
"I will return to the palace immediately to issue an imperial decree to welcome mother into the palace!"
Zhou Xinrou was slightly satisfied, but soon made another request.
"Your background must also be made public."
Shen Lanxi said generously: "Of course, but there is one thing I want mother to agree to."
Zhou Xinrou was a little displeased when she heard the rebuttal.
"you say."
Shen Lanxi: "I hope that mother will recognize Yuan Jing and others, and tell others that I am touched by Shen Congwen's efforts, so I sincerely commit myself to him."
Zhou Xinrou's face changed drastically, and she asked angrily, "You want me to betray your father?"
Shen Lanxi explained in an orderly manner: "Of course not, I am just trying to protect my mother's reputation. The Queen Mother is not allowed to have any flaws."
Zhou Xinrou looked at Shen Lanxi dimly, and seeing that she did not seem to be faking it, she began to think about the interests involved.
"Mother, I am the Son of Heaven. The people of the world can allow you to commit yourself to the Shen family in order to protect your daughter. But I will never allow you to take advantage of your benefactor and do something ungrateful!"
Zhou Xinrou naturally didn't want to do that. If she said so, that person must die.
"Don't force me!" Zhou Xinrou gritted her teeth and endured it.
Shen Lanxi is as cold as an emperor, and family affection cannot defeat imperial power.
"Mother, my origin cannot be flawed!"
Zhou Xinrou looked at Shen Lanxi coldly, and after a few breaths, she smiled sarcastically.
Emperor? This is the emperor!
What bullshit family affection! Once she sits on the throne, the mother-daughter relationship no longer exists.
"I need to think about it!"
Shen Lanxi: "Mother, take your time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry. The imperial physician has also left it for mother!"
Without waiting for Zhou Xinrou to wave her hand to send her away, Shen Lanxi turned and left.
Outside the house, all the members of the Shen family bent over with ingratiating smiles on their faces, and the welcoming ceremony was just like a play.
"Your Majesty, is the princess feeling better?"
Shen Lanxi smiled faintly: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern. I am very relieved to leave my mother to you."
Everyone in the Shen family had a forced smile on their faces, looking weird.
"The Shen family was convicted and exiled to Dongchuan, which was a big blow to my mother. Fortunately, she didn't suffer for too long."
Shen Conglian quickly complimented him: "It's all thanks to your Majesty. Our whole family is all thanks to your Majesty!"
Shen Lanxi: "I asked someone to send more medicine to calm the nerves, as well as some tonics. Give the medicine to mother, and give the tonics to second and third uncles!"
Shen Congli quickly pretended to refuse: "How can this be done? No, no, let's give it to the princess. We are in good health."
Shen Lanxi: "After I return to the palace, I will send two imperial doctors who are good at nursing. I hope that my family will live a long life."
The Shen family forced themselves to smile again.
After watching Shen Lanxi leave, everyone in the Shen family was drenched in cold sweat.
…
"Actually, it's understandable why Shen Lanxi did this!" Huang Yu thought he had a thorough understanding of Shen Lanxi.
"She doesn't want her life experience to be criticized, and she wants to portray you as someone who is grateful and repays kindness. This is also for your own good!" At least the empress dowager will have a better reputation for enduring humiliation and repaying kindness.
However, if the background of Shen Yuanjing and others were really made public, there would be endless troubles.
"Shen Yuanjing still controls the important areas in the northwest. Shen Yuanjun and Shen Yuanqing have also been assigned to important passes and they also command a large number of troops. If they were your own children, they would naturally listen to you!"
Huang Yu believes that nothing is stronger than the bond between mother and child.
"Now they don't know the truth and they all listen to Shen Lanxi. When the truth comes out in the future, they will all listen to me!" Huang Yu vowed.
