How come the little bit of good impression I had just accumulated towards Jin Suting was completely destroyed by Lin Shaohai?
It reminded her again that Helan Ruizhe was against her for Jin Suting.
"Stop arguing, what's the point of arguing?"
The Queen Mother rolled up her sleeves, obviously unhappy.
Lin Shaohai and Tang Xuwen also stopped talking and returned to their seats. The Queen Mother glared at the people below, "Tang Xuwen, you are already an adult. We have discussed this matter before. Do you agree?"
"And you," the Queen Mother pointed at Lin Shaohai, "if she has a bad reputation, then she has a bad reputation. Don't defend her here."
"Get out of court, get out of court. You guys are so annoying."
Whenever the Queen Mother was in a bad mood, she would start cursing people without thinking. After being in power for more than 30 years, everyone had gotten used to it.
The ministers below looked at each other, not daring to speak, their eyes full of complicated expressions.
Until Grand Tutor Yu knelt down and said, "Farewell, Queen Mother."
Everyone seemed to suddenly wake up and knelt on the ground to salute, their bodies extremely stiff.
When the Queen Mother stormed out of the hall, everyone seemed to be re-energized.
They dispersed from the neat queue, some went home, and some continued to quarrel.
Tang Xuwen glared at Lin Shaohai and muttered, "You ignorant brat."
Lin Shaohai was young and hot-tempered, so naturally he couldn't stand this. His anger outshone his reason, and when he was about to punch Tang Xuwen in the face, Grand Tutor Yu stopped him, "Shaohai, a gentleman doesn't use force."
Lin Shaohai withdrew his hand and walked behind Grand Tutor Yu, "Brother Tang, please don't be disrespectful to your elders."
Tang Xuwen's face darkened, but he managed to force a smile: "Brother Yu is right, I was inappropriate."
Prime Minister Tang claimed to be ill and did not attend court today. He has no backing now, so he has to appear friendly on the surface.
Grand Tutor Yu smiled faintly and left.
Lin Shaohai followed Master Yu without looking away and left.

“Snap—”
The vase at the door was smashed by the Queen Mother again. She would smash things when she was angry. Over the past few decades, no one knew how many decorations had been replaced in the Fengluan Palace.
Before she could even take a sip of the water, the Queen Mother angrily said to Eunuch Bai, "Go and call that grandson over to me and tell him I'm seriously ill and dying!"
Eunuch Bai's pupils dilated in shock. You can't say that, Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.
"yes."
But when Eunuch Bai arrived at the East Palace, he just said that the Queen Mother missed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and wanted to chat with him about family matters.
Helan Ruizhe guessed that Eunuch Bai was lying, but he would not expose him because in the past few years, after he moved out of the Eastern Palace, conflicts with the Queen Mother became more and more frequent.
People say that generations apart are close to each other, but he doesn't think so at all.
It was maintained by Eunuch Bai's "lies".
Helan Ruizhe put down the painting he was doing and told Yuan Jing before going out. When Jin Suting came, he told her to do as she pleased and then followed Eunuch Bai's carriage.
——
By the time Helan Ruizhe arrived at Fengluan Palace, the Queen Mother's anger had already subsided by half.
She herself knew that there was nothing wrong in asking Helan Ruizhe to come.
But because of this grandson, the decision on the "Crown Princess Candidate" was repeatedly discussed and argued about by the ministers.
How could she possibly swallow this?
