When he passed through the imperial garden and saw the "familiar face" of the little palace maid again, his anger rose.
What is Zhang Ru trying to do?!
He wants to marry Wang Xipei. Is this because he is dissatisfied and angry?
What a talent! Where did they find these dozen people?
Xuanyuan Hao walked towards Zhang Ru's palace.
Seeing Xuanyuan Hao coming in with a bad look on his face, Zhang Ru had no choice but to order someone to serve tea first.
Xuanyuan Hao said, "No need. Everyone, go out." The palace people filed out one after another. Before leaving, several maids looked at Zhang Ru with some concern.
Zhang Ru was also a little nervous.
Xuanyuan Hao looked at Zhang Ru and asked, "Is the Queen dissatisfied?"
Zhang Ru: "I don't dare."
Xuanyuan Hao's anger began to rise: "What's going on with those new palace maids?"
Zhang Ru said nothing.
Xuanyuan Hao: "Speak!"
Zhang Ru made up her mind: "That's what Your Majesty wants."
Xuanyuan Hao laughed angrily: "So you are dissatisfied with my marriage to Wang Xipei?"
Zhang Ru said, "Yes."
Xuanyuan Hao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and sat down: "Tea."
Zhang Ru had no choice but to serve the tea herself.
Xuanyuan Hao drank it, and then said, "What if I insist on accepting it?" His voice was much calmer.
Zhang Ru said, "No one dares to obey your majesty's order."
Xuanyuan Hao looked at her and said, "Get those people away from me." He didn't say whether he accepted it or not. He just drank the tea and left.
Zhang Ru called a few maids to clean up and make arrangements, and then ordered the new palace maids to be divided into different places so that they would no longer be in front of Xuanyuan Hao. But it did not mean that he would never see them again, as he would still see them from time to time.
Then, Zhang Ru returned to her parents' home.
Xuanyuan Hao returned to the palace and indeed no longer saw the palace maids. He breathed a sigh of relief and read the memorials for most of the day. When the meal was served, he said, "Let's go to the Queen's Palace."
Wang was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is not in the palace. She has returned to the Zhang family." While changing the tea, he took another look at His Majesty's expression and said, "The Empress Dowager said she has approved it. The Empress has asked Consort De to assist in managing the six palaces while she is away."
Back to her parents' home? Who else is there in her family? Thinking of this, I felt a strange sense of discomfort.
Wang was overjoyed and said, "In two days it will be the anniversary of the death of the Queen Mother. It has been four years since her death and the palace is not allowed to offer sacrifices. This is the first time that the Queen Mother has returned."
Is this the first time going back to pay homage? Xuanyuan Hao recalled the scene three years ago when the third and fourth sons had a fight with the eldest daughter of the Ren family. One broke off the engagement, while the other proposed to marry her.
The third son, after requesting permission, married quickly. His biological mother was in poor health, and the empress, as his legal mother, quickly arranged everything. The empress held a lavish wedding for the third son, giving the Third Prince and the Ren family amnesty and apologizing on behalf of the fourth son. That evening, he was also delighted to visit her palace. He saw the empress, after removing her makeup and hairpins, her face pale with exhaustion, her undergarment drenched in sweat.
Two years ago, the Queen took care of the Queen Mother for more than two months.
Something happened again a year ago. Wang Suwen and Zhang Guanghe were secretly competing with Prince Guanghuai in Yangzhou. The situation had reached the point of being on the verge of a fight, but they had not yet given up.
By then, Wan Luo, Old Master Wan, and the others were already dead, and the fighting among the various clans had just begun. Some of the six clans in Yangzhou realized that this was the Royal Family's move and proposed joining forces with Prince Guanghuai to strike a decisive blow. This might be the six clans' last chance. When word reached Prince Guanghuai, he began pushing his troops towards Yangzhou.
Likewise, Wang Suwen and Zhang Guanghe, upon learning the news, quickly reported it to Xuanyuan Hao. Xuanyuan Hao wasn't afraid of a formal conflict, but a new one would threaten to disrupt the situation, which had just begun to recover. If Yangzhou's immense wealth were to fall to Xuanyuan Min, Prince Guanghuai's power would surge, and gnaw away at this sluggish position would be costly. Xuanyuan Hao even considered personally leading the charge for a quick victory.
The Empress Dowager was extremely anxious when she heard the rumor. Ever since Zhang Ru had been attending to the Empress Dowager during her illness the previous year, the Empress Dowager seemed to treat Zhang Ru differently.
That night, Zhang Ru accompanied the Queen Mother. Later, she sent her personal maid to deliver the news that the Queen Mother had sent a secret letter to Prince Guanghuai, asking him to kill the six families in Yangzhou he had contacted. The Queen Mother guaranteed his safety. Zhang Ru asked Xuanyuan Hao to ensure that the letter would reach Prince Guanghuai, Xuanyuan Min.
After receiving the letter, Prince Guanghuai dispatched an assassination squad against the Six Families of Yangzhou, completely resolving the standoff and bringing a sigh of relief to Xuanyuan Hao. Zhang Ru remained with the Queen Mother in her palace until the matter was resolved. Prince Guanghuai sent two packages of local specialties from his fiefdom, one for the Queen Mother and one for his brother Xuanyuan Hao. The Queen Mother wept, and Zhang Ru excused herself, returning to her own palace.
It must be that the worship was delayed again.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Hao felt a little sorry for his wife. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Zhang's house as well.
The Zhang family, which had twelve sons in the past.
Wang Lingyi didn't expect that such a rumor would spread among the ladies' circle. She, Wang Lingyi, bullied Huang Mengling, a poor first wife who was favored by a concubine and neglected by his wife, and bought Huang Mengling's dowry farm at a very low price.
Wang Lingyi was a little confused. There was a business contract, the price was written down in black and white, and the money lender had actually paid. Why such a clumsy lie?
