This is somewhat surprising.
Ning Wanyin is respected as the empress dowager, but she is the grand empress dowager, and is superior to Ning Wanyin in terms of etiquette and law. Moreover, the Xue family is powerful, so if she does not want to retreat, she can create some trouble.
"The Mountain Resort has beautiful scenery and is a great place to spend your retirement. Is there anything that I need to arrange for you, mother?" Ning Wanyin understood what she meant and looked at the Empress Dowager.
There must be conditions for her leaving.
The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, "I heard that you have already chosen a tutor for Xi'er. You must also choose a tutor carefully and not be careless. I have a candidate. My nephew is about the same age as Xi'er and is smart. What do you think?"
Ning Wanyin understood instantly.
This time, the Empress Dowager is betting on Xier.
So he wanted to send a younger member of the Xue family to enter the palace to be the emperor's companion.
This means being friendly with the emperor and hoping to be favored by the emperor. They grew up together and generally, such ministers would become the emperor's right-hand men.
Ning Wanyin pondered for three times and answered decisively, "The person chosen by your majesty is naturally good. I will issue an order tomorrow to have him enter the palace to accompany you in your studies."
The Xue family guarded the southeast of Da Yan and were the heroes of Da Yan. As long as the Xue family did not rebel, Ning Wanyin would not get rid of them.
If the Xue family was too arrogant, Ning Wanyin would warn them, and if the Xue family wanted to be loyal to Xier, she would naturally give them a chance.
Otherwise, the emperor's cold rejection of the Xue family would be just pushing them away.
The Empress Dowager was a little surprised to see that she agreed so calmly without any surprise.
Ever since Ning Wanyin entered the palace, the Xue family has always stood on the opposite side of her, and the open and secret struggles between the two sides have never stopped.
Now that Xue Zheng is in the court, he also wants to sideline her and is no longer loyal to her.
She was also able to accept the younger generation of the Xue family as the emperor's tutor and was willing for the emperor to make use of the Xue family, which really made people look at her with a higher regard.
"You have always surprised me. Even until this moment, you still surprise me." The Empress Dowager had a complicated look in her eyes.
Ning Wanyin was neither arrogant nor impatient, and smiled, "Mother, you are praising me too much, but it is my duty."
In the past, it was her job to be loyal to the emperor and to check and balance the Xue family.
Now, it is her responsibility to take charge of the country and stabilize Da Yan.
The two sides agreed on the terms and Ning Wanyin bowed and took her leave.
Before leaving, Ning Wanyin also asked the Empress Dowager if there were any stewards or cooks she liked that she wanted to take away, and she was very polite, leaving no room for gossip.
The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered Helian Qi, who was also an unexpected person.
At the beginning, she played chess with Emperor Ming.
At that time, Ning Wanyin was just a chess piece in his palm.
Now, she is the one sitting across from the chessboard.
With one's own efforts, one can rise from a humble position to a great position. Such a method is rarely seen in the world.
She is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager thought that the Xue family would not lose money in this deal.
