Empress Dowager Liu does not want to completely break off relations with the emperor at the moment.
Because there is no prince or princess born in the palace yet, all her wealth, status and position depend on the emperor.
If there was no puppet emperor who was so easy to control, and someone else sat on the throne, I am afraid that the first family to suffer would be the Liu family.
…
The day of the palace banquet.
Zhao Yunzhu entered the palace with her maid.
At the palace gate, I saw General Liu going to the palace alone for a banquet.
On an occasion like today, Concubine Liu's status naturally does not allow her to enter the palace.
Zhao Yunzhu nodded to General Liu as a greeting. Prince An was not there, so it was inconvenient for her to talk to General Liu in such an occasion.
She was about to enter the palace with her maid and the palace maids.
Just then, General Liu raised his leg and walked towards her. Zhao Yunzhu frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"Concubine Yun, I'm sorry to bother you." General Liu was still several steps away from her when he stopped and looked at her apologetically. "Could Concubine Yun please come with me? I have something to say to you."
Seeing that he was extremely serious, Zhao Yunzhu sighed and said, "Well then."
"I don't know. General Liu came to me rashly, but what's the matter?"
"Well, I'd like to ask Concubine Yun to come forward and persuade Lord Wang and Madam Wang to leave Chang'an."
Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyes suspiciously, paused, and looked at General Liu intently.
General Liu looked even more embarrassed when she looked at him. "Right now, no matter how much I try to persuade them, they refuse to leave Chang'an. They insist on seeking justice for Miss Wang. My father, the Queen Mother, is already quite dissatisfied."
Zhao Yunzhu probably guessed that he was still thinking about his relationship with Wang Min.
Even if all the evidence shows that Mrs. Liu's death was deliberately caused by Miss Wang.
But he still chose to believe Miss Wang, even though he knelt in the Queen Mother's palace for a whole day for Miss Wang, before the Queen Mother and his father stopped pursuing the matter.
Also let Lord Wang and his wife go.
But none of the Wang family’s parents knew about this.
General Liu is in a dilemma at the moment, but he is still thinking about persuading Wang's parents to go back to give Miss Wang a last bit of dignity.
"General Liu, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."
Zhao Yunzhu looked at General Liu with a firm attitude, leaving him no room for any illusions.
"Concubine Yun--" General Liu tried to continue lobbying.
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and sarcastically said, "General Liu is so devoted to someone as insignificant as Miss Wang. I wonder if General Liu still feels a bit guilty about the fiancée the Queen Mother arranged for him to marry?"
In the past, she thought it was rare for the Liu family to raise such a young General Liu with such uprightness and integrity, which was a rare and precious quality.
But later something happened to the Zhang family.
After all, it was directly related to him that the Zhang family ended up with such a tragic outcome, but what did General Liu do?
It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Some of the genes that are engraved in the Liu family's bones cannot be changed after all.
After realizing this, Zhao Yunzhu could no longer value General Liu as much as before.
"What? Did General Liu forget about Miss Zhang so quickly?"
Zhao Yunzhu's lips were filled with sarcasm. He looked at the sullen-faced General Liu in front of him, clenching his fists. His eyes seemed to be burning with rage.
She showed no fear at all, raised her head slightly, and sneered, "That's right, General Liu would never think that what happened to the Zhang family and Miss Zhang has anything to do with you."
"I'm afraid that General Liu is secretly delighted in his heart. It must be God's will that has saved General Liu from such an unpleasant marriage."
After Zhao Yunzhu finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Never looked at him again.
…
In Concubine Rong's palace, the empress dowager sat on the main seat. Concubine Rong was wearing a bright yellow court dress and a red gold pearl crown. Her eyes were full of pride.
Many ladies with imperial decrees came to the palace today.
Under everyone's praise, Concubine Rong gradually became proud.
Zhao Yunzhu came forward and bowed to the nobleman.
Empress Dowager Liu gave her a gentle look and raised her hand. The palace maids came forward to support Empress Dowager Liu and said, "Since everyone is here today, please join me at the table."
"yes."
Everyone stood up and knelt to salute, respectfully seeing the Empress Dowager and Concubine Rong out of the hall, before standing up and following.
When they arrived at the banquet, everyone took their seats.
The emperor arrived later.
As soon as Zhao Yunzhu sat down, she felt a scrutinizing gaze directed at her.
She raised her head and followed the source of his gaze.
Seeing the man sitting next to Prime Minister Liu, she was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the Second Master Liu would also come to the palace today.
This left her speechless.
The gaze just now came from Master Liu Er.
He looked at Zhao Yunzhu, smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I accidentally found a treasure and wanted to give it to Concubine Rong. It can also be regarded as a gift from me to the little prince."
Master Liu Er suddenly stood up and bowed to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Liu's temples throbbed twice.
Just as he was about to politely decline, the emperor asked, "Oh? What is it? Let me take a closer look. What kind of treasure is it that Second Uncle is so anxious to present to me?"
The emperor waved his hand, signaling Master Liu Er to come closer.
Everyone at the banquet looked at Master Liu Er, who was holding a small red gold box with a picture of a hundred beasts carved on it.
The eyes of the beasts on the lid are decorated with gems of various colors.
