Demigod or something, isn't this too much? How dare you make it up!
Yan Shiyue found it a little unbelievable, "She believed it?"
Yuqing Sanren knelt on the ground and swore solemnly, "She believes it. I guarantee with my life that she will definitely believe it!"
Emperor Mingyan said coldly: "You have lost your life, what guarantee can you give?"
He raised his hand, and someone had already dragged Yuqing Sanren away.
On the second day, the old princess announced that she would spend the rest of her life meditating in front of the Buddha and praying for her granddaughter, and then she moved directly into the Buddhist temple in her home.
Although it may sound a bit unfilial, everyone was really relieved.
It's finally quiet.
From Yan Tingyue's behavior and the few times they met, we can infer that the old princess is a typical woman in the harem.
She is cold and cruel, extremely cherishes her life, enjoys life and likes to be in the limelight, has no overall view, and has no idea about the national economy and people's livelihood. She is praised highly, but she does not have the corresponding IQ, so she is a little confused.
...
...
But after this time, she should have understood the power of imperial authority.
If the Emperor is willing to give face to Prince An's Mansion, he can naturally grant you favors in every way. But once the Emperor is unwilling, he can strip you of all your honors and favors with just one decree.
Plus, the old prince came out.
The old prince was a man with a strong sense of male chauvinism. When he was around, the old princess did not dare to act arrogantly.
Now, I can’t borrow any blessings anymore.
The situation before her was that if she continued to make trouble, her life would be in danger. If she behaved herself and was taken care of, she could live a few more days. In the eyes of outsiders, she would have a good reputation and the honorary title of princess. This was an easy choice to make.
Even though the old princess has many faults, she has one good thing: she knows how to adapt to current situations. Just like she dared to resent the Imperial Noble Consort in the past, but now, she dares not resent the Emperor at all.
So, this incident happened with such a grand fanfare, and then ended quietly.
The reason behind this is unknown to outsiders. At most, people think that the old princess retreated due to various reasons.
Empress Su was so angry that she smashed teacups all over the palace and cursed: "It's useless! I spent so much effort to send the message in. She is an elder but can't even beat a wild girl! She is really a waste!"
She cursed for a long time and suddenly realized something was wrong.
When she turned around, she saw Emperor Ming Yan standing in front of her, and the palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, shaking like sieves.
Queen Su was stunned.
She felt a chill down her spine, her knees softened, and she knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Mingyan said coldly: "I wanted to ask you if you had anything to do with this matter, but now it seems that there is no need to ask."
He did not call out, but looked down at her with disgust in his eyes: "I just really can't understand why you are stirring up trouble and stirring up trouble like this!"
Empress Su was so angry that she could not suppress her grief: "Your Majesty! I... I did make mistakes, but what I said was also the truth! Could it be that Tang Shiyue knew that her elder was seriously ill, but she was unwilling to lend her blessings? How can such an unkind and unfilial person be named a royal princess!"
When Emperor Ming Yan heard her call him "Tang Shiyue" again, he was disgusted: "Yue'er has already recognized her ancestors and is the imperial princess appointed by me! The Queen Mother has praised her for being pure and filial! You scheme against her everywhere and dislike her, but it's just because you have an evil heart! How dare a person with an evil heart occupy the position of the mother of the country! You are not worthy!"
Queen Su's eyes widened in shock.
She never expected that Emperor Ming Yan would say such a thing.
This sentence is just short of saying that he intends to depose the queen!
Empress Su was so anxious that her whole body went limp. She murmured, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty... I didn't deal with her, she just didn't like me! Since she entered the palace, I have been trying to be nice to her, but she first harmed Ti'er and then Shouning. Shouning's husband was made a commoner by her and lost all his face... I just wanted to punish her a little, but Your Majesty said this. I am innocent!"
"You still dare to cry out for injustice?" Emperor Mingyan sneered, "Sanlang was punished because he didn't pay any attention to the goose report! He has no heart for the people! Shouning's son-in-law used the important matter of selecting scholars to make a profit. If I hadn't taken Shouning into consideration, his ten lives would not be enough to compensate! These things are all their own faults. What has Yue'er got to do with it? You can't even understand this. You are such a confused person. I don't think you can manage this huge harem!"
Emperor Ming Yan turned away in anger.
The next day, the Empress Dowager issued an edict that the Empress was not feeling well and that the Imperial Noble Consort would be in charge of the palace affairs.
At the same time, Emperor Ming Yan specially summoned his father-in-law to the palace to meet with the empress.
The father-in-law of the emperor, Prince Zhongshun, was a man of deep shrewdness, self-discipline and prudence. He once held great power in the court.
Otherwise, he would not have won the game between the monarch and his ministers and made his daughter the queen.
Empress Su is the exiled eldest daughter of Prince Zhongshun. She was brought up in a strict and law-abiding manner since childhood. Her temperament may sound very boring, but all these are advantages in her identity as the "legal wife", and even more so in her position as the empress, the mother of the country.
After Empress Su entered the palace, she was always cautious in her words and deeds and was in charge of the six palaces. She never did anything inappropriate because of the favor of the Imperial Noble Consort, so Prince Zhongshun was always at ease.
When he received the imperial edict today, he was shocked, knowing that something must have happened, and it was a big deal!
Otherwise, the emperor would at most call the princess over, but he would never call him.
After arriving and hearing the Queen's crying, Prince Zhongshun was speechless!
As an old fox who is used to calculating every step, he really couldn't understand this kind of behavior that disregarded personal interests and was simply for venting anger.
Empress Su cried, "Father, that Tang Shiyue is really arrogant. She teased Ti'er and bullied Shouning. I just wanted to punish her lightly, but the Emperor even said that she is not worthy of being the mother of the country... This palace is really chilling."
Prince Zhongshun felt the veins on his head throbbing.
The emperor said this and asked him to enter the palace. This was the last chance given to the queen, but the queen has not seen the situation clearly until now!
But even though he wanted to slap her in the face and wake her up, Prince Zhongshun could only suppress his anger and patiently said word by word: "Your Majesty, Ti'er's wild goose report is a small matter, but it involves the people's voice, which is a big deal! Ti'er is perfunctory, and the emperor will naturally be furious!
As for Shouning's son-in-law, he was involved in the sale of official positions, so being able to keep his life was a special favor! These two things, not to mention that they were not calculated by Fu Yan, even if they were, he was right, you can only accept it! "
Empress Su cried, "She must have deliberately targeted me! Otherwise, why didn't others get into trouble, but only my children did! Father, the emperor is clearly partial. If these things were done by Tang Shiyue, I don't believe he would be willing to punish her!"
“Your Majesty!” Prince Zhongshun shouted: “No matter how much resentment you have towards Fu Yan, she is the imperial princess personally appointed by the emperor. Do not call her by that name anymore! This is the first reason!
Second, you don’t understand what’s going on in the court, but you only need to remember that, for the cowpox incident, unless Fu Yan committed the crime of treason, she would have no worries in her life! And she is a woman, it is impossible for her to commit such a serious crime, so she will be honored and favored throughout her life, and she will be extremely noble. Therefore, you must do your best to please her. Going against her is extremely stupid! "
