The prince smiled and said, "Go ahead."
The Seventh Prince said, "I want to talk to you alone."
The prince laughed and looked at the eighth prince.
The Eighth Prince hated him deeply. But being looked at by the Crown Prince, he did not dare to say anything, and said, "Then I will leave first."
He withdrew, and the Seventh Prince held the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, I can't see Sister Fuyan. Please tell her for me that my Eighth Brother wants to ask the Empress to bring dumplings and rice cakes into the palace..."
Upon hearing this, the prince's face changed slightly. There was a rustling sound outside, and then the eunuch's voice was heard saying, "Eighth Master, what are you doing standing on the flower pot? Did you fall?"
How dare you eavesdrop? ? The prince snorted coldly and said to the outside: "Wang Chaoqing."
"The servant is here."
"Take Hachiro downstairs to change clothes."
Wang Chaoqing understood what he meant and immediately took the eighth prince away.
...
...
The prince then said, "Tell me in detail."
The Seventh Prince is not smart, but he is not stupid either. Why would he just find a vase when the Eighth Prince asked him to?
So he was squatting at the door and passively slacking off... He also heard what the Eighth Prince said, and then quietly told Ning Da Ying, who then told him that the Eighth Prince wanted to ask the Queen Mother to bring the two little ones in. Let him find a chance to tell Yan Shiyue.
But there was no one around him who could be used, and he really didn't know how to find Yan Shiyue. After thinking about it for a few days, he simply came here to talk to the prince.
The prince listened quietly, then embraced him and said softly, "Qilang is a good boy. I thank you on behalf of your sister. Don't tell anyone else about this matter. I will handle it. Do you understand?"
The Seventh Prince said, "I know! I won't tell anyone!"
The prince ordered someone to send him back and hurried in to find the queen. When he asked, he found out that they already knew about it.
The Queen said, "It's worth saving Qilang."
Yan Shiyue asked: "But what should we do now?"
The queen sneered: "It was not easy at first, but now it is easy."
She stood up and said, "You all should go about your own business. I will handle this matter."
Yan Shiyue said: "Mother!"
"Don't worry," the queen said, "I'll take care of the affairs of the harem, and I'll leave the affairs outside to you." She touched her head and said, "My children are all people who can do great things. You don't need to worry about these palace intrigues and women's affairs."
She drove them both away.
Yan Shiyue was really not good at dealing with this. As soon as she came out, she looked at the prince eagerly.
The prince rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, I will always be watching this place. Besides, under the current situation, who dares to touch the queen mother?" As he spoke, his face darkened, and he whispered in her ear, "Even the queen mother can't do that."
In fact, the Queen has been going to the Cining Palace quite often recently.
The empress has always been clear-headed. Of course, she has feelings for Emperor Ming Yan, but she never indulges in this and does not mind spending time to manage this relationship. No matter how beautiful a woman's appearance is, it will become ordinary after a long time. She has been the only favorite in the harem for decades, of course, not entirely relying on her looks.
She thought clearly that the Empress Dowager was in such a state that no matter how she was treated, she would not live for many years, so she went to see her more often and took good care of her in order to improve Emperor Ming Yan's favor.
After all, they are mother and son. They must be sad if they get sick or die. Why should she be blamed at this time?
So it wasn't surprising for her to come here this time.
As usual, the Queen changed into narrow-sleeved clothes and personally served the Empress Dowager dinner, while also asking someone to bring Nanny Xiang down to eat.
After everyone was around her, the Queen gently told her about Prince Ke, how Yan Shiyue had taken care of him, how he had guided him to discover his own interests, and how he had finally found something he was capable of doing, becoming an official in earnest, and receiving praise from the court.
The Queen Mother was not very familiar with the affairs of the court, and she did not think that painting was a good job, but the Queen mentioned many praises from the court, and the Queen Mother understood. She was relieved, nodded, and said with difficulty: "Fuyan, good."
Then she added: "I want... dumplings..."
The queen sneered in her heart.
When people are in good times, they are all like Bodhisattvas. But when they are in bad times, the selfishness in their bones can no longer be concealed.
The Queen Mother was obviously hypnotizing herself, convincing herself that bringing Jiaozi and the other two with her was a good thing for them, so she said so much. She was not without gratitude in her heart, but when she said this, she was justified.
In that case, there's no need to be polite.
The Queen pretended not to have heard clearly and continued, "I also advised Fourteenth Brother to come visit Mother more often, but Fourteenth Brother seems to have some misunderstandings about Mother. He is unwilling to come."
The Queen Mother's expression froze.
The Queen shook her head: "He said something that I don't quite understand. Mother is the most loving and has loved Fourteenth Brother the most since he was young. I don't believe what he said."
The Queen Mother's hands began to tremble.
She glared, but she couldn't maintain the posture and soon collapsed again.
The Queen said slowly: "Everyone has their own plans. Although I don't believe it and haven't told the Emperor, it's rare that Fourteenth Brother and Fu Yan get along well. I still told Fu Yan to take good care of Fourteenth Brother. Fourteenth Brother likes dumplings and rice cakes the most. Now he lives in the palace and doesn't go back to the palace all day..."
The queen finished feeding the child the porridge while speaking slowly.
People who were unaware of the inside story would not understand what she said, but the empress dowager was an insider in the matter and had lived in the palace her entire life, so how could she not understand?
She was telling her, if you dare to bring dumplings and rice cakes with you, I will tell Emperor Ming Yan about this!
The Queen Mother knows her own son well.
If Emperor Ming Yan knew about this, he would definitely feel guilty towards Prince Ke, but towards her as a mother...even though she had done so much for him, yes, she firmly believed in her heart that she did it for Emperor Ming Yan, not for the status of the empress dowager and the glory of the rest of her life...
In short, if Emperor Ming Yan knew about this, he would only find her terrifying.
It’s not that he couldn’t accept killing, but he couldn’t accept a mother killing her child.
Then it's really over.
On the second day, after Emperor Mingyan came to pay his respects, he heard that the Empress Dowager missed the Eighth Prince and asked him to stay with her for a few days.
The queen smiled when she heard this, and she was extremely virtuous and considerate, and sent Concubine Shu to take care of the sick. She also kindly gave her a few maids who were good at understanding the queen's intentions.
After that, she would naturally think of a way to make this care for the sick last forever.
How could the Queen Mother be willing to suffer a loss? Who wouldn't know the Eighth Prince's shallow little calculations at a glance? But he always thought he was flawless. The Queen Mother was willing to accept it before because it was beneficial to her, and she was happy to go with the flow. Now... Oh, it would be strange if she didn't torture him to death!
This mother and son brought this upon themselves. Go and experience the consequences of their own actions!
