Chapter 244 Wen Xingluo, you should quickly find a way to make your mother the queen
Thanks to his previous life, Wen Xingluo was deeply impressed by Empress Mei.
Empress Mei had no children, so she adopted Xie Xuchi from Concubine Zhang and supported Xie Xuchi to ascend the throne of crown prince.
When she was proposing to Xie Xuchi, Empress Mei disliked her very much. This empress, who was known for her kind heart, would often set rules for her in private and often punished her behind her back.
She thought she wasn't doing well enough.
But today it seems that Empress Mei disliked her because she looked like her mother, right?
Empress Mei betrayed her mother and married her mother's fiancé.
When Empress Mei saw her face that looked so much like her mother's, she felt uneasy and poured all her emotions on her, as if only by suppressing her could she prove that she was stronger than her mother.
Wen Xingluo thought for a moment and asked, "Empress Mei will definitely not tolerate you entering the palace, so, are you planning to start with the He family?"
"The He family feels guilty towards the Wei family," Wei Si said softly. "I plan to hold a flower-viewing banquet at the imperial palace, inviting the court officials and their families from the capital. I want to take this opportunity to meet He Weizhou in person. Whether it's to repay a favor or for some other reason, I will convince him to let me enter the palace."
Seeing Xingluo frowning, Wei Si smiled and pinched her cheek, "Don't worry about me. I'm no longer the woman who used to hide in the attic crying and complaining. Ningning, be good. Go to your room, wash up and rest. Go explore the capital tomorrow."
Wen Xingluo had no choice but to leave.
As soon as she walked into the corridor, she ran into the four siblings of the Wen family.
Wen Yueyin was the first to ask, "Little sister, why are you here so late? Did you already know that the powerful people in the capital wouldn't accept Mother and would laugh at us siblings, so you deliberately waited until we'd been laughed at enough before arriving?! Little sister, you're so scheming!"
After arriving in the capital, the brothers and sisters actively attended banquets hosted by the powerful and wealthy.
However, all the powerful people refused to let them in.
Those people mocked them as remnants of the previous dynasty and said they would send them and Wei Si to the Imperial Slave Department as slaves!
The imagined good days of unlimited glory for the dragon sons and phoenix grandsons have never come!
Wen Xingluo saw that they were covered in dust and dirt, and guessed that they had been having a hard time recently.
She laughed and said, "Didn't my sister say that after coming to the capital, you would become a prince or princess and enjoy endless happiness? How did you end up like this?"
"Wen Xingluo!" Wen Ruyun scolded unhappily, "How do you talk to your sister?! Watch your attitude!"
Wen Rulei also looked surprised. "Xingluo, we are brothers and sisters. The principle of prosperity and adversity is understood by even a crude person like me. How come you don't understand it? As long as you find a way to help us get promoted like you did in your previous life, our family will be even more prosperous than the Zhenbei Palace! Then, with three powerful brothers in your hands, you won't have to worry about marrying into a good family?!"
Wen Xingluo jokingly said, "Did I hear correctly? You three are proficient in all kinds of martial arts and civil affairs, and you can fly and hide in the sky, and you can do anything. Do you still need a girl like me to help you? Don't you always say that you are the lucky star? If you want to make a wish, you should look for your sister!"
"you--"
Wen Rulei's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Alright!" Wen Rufeng said impatiently, "I'll make the decision. Wen Xingluo, you quickly think of a way to make mother the queen as soon as possible!"
Wen Xingluo looked at him in shock.
Let my mother become queen as soon as possible?
Who does her eldest brother think she is?
The Jade Emperor or Taishang Laojun?
Could he accomplish something like becoming the Queen simply by talking?!
"I can't do this."
Wen Xingluo was too lazy to even respond perfunctorily and simply left the corridor.
Wen Yueyin was annoyed, "Brother, look at her!"
Wen Rulei was also very dissatisfied. "In her previous life, Wen Xingluo was so smart. She calculated everything, paved the way for us, and served us comfortably. In this life, she was deceived by those hypocrites in the Zhenbei Palace and even disowned us, her biological brothers!"
"What past lives and present lives?" Wen Ruyun waved his folding fan dismissively. "Why can't I remember anything at all? In my opinion, you're all possessed by evil spirits. The three of us brothers are both talented in literature and martial arts, and we're truly the best of the best. How could we possibly need a fool like Wen Xingluo to pave the way for us?"
Wen Rufeng was silent.
He also didn't want to admit that behind the family's prominence in his previous life, it was a woman named Wen Xingluo who was giving advice.
Women have long hair but little knowledge, and they can't even carry on the family line. How can they understand the politics of the court? How can they compare to the three brothers!
But no matter how much you don't want to admit it, the facts are right in front of you.
Wen Rufeng's face flushed, and he said unwillingly, "We all came from the same mother. Are we really any worse than her? I guess it's just that we're too righteous and didn't put our minds to her devious ways, so we can't succeed. Well, I'll make the decision. Each of us will come up with an idea to help Mother become Queen as soon as possible, and no one is allowed to be lazy."
The four siblings looked solemn. While they were sitting together trying to think of a solution, Wei Si had already sent invitations to the flower viewing banquet to the dignitaries in the court.
Kunning Palace.
Empress Mei is practicing calligraphy.
When she learned that Wei Si was going to hold a flower viewing banquet, she smiled and said, "Si Si still loves a lively atmosphere like before."
The trusted female official hesitated and said, "Wei Si's coming here is ill-intentioned. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Empress and the Mei family. In my opinion, we must eliminate the root of the problem!"
Empress Mei remained noncommittal. "I heard she gave birth to five children in Rongcheng?"
"Yes! I just received the news that the youngest one is recuperating in the Zhenbei Palace and just came here today."
"She gave birth to five children, but I couldn't give birth to any one..." Empress Mei put her brush on the brush holder, a trace of melancholy on her well-maintained face.
The female official helped her wash her hands. "I heard they were born to a local county magistrate. They are just five unpresentable children, not even worthy of serving the Empress in the palace. Although the Empress has no biological children, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely filial to you, and His Royal Highness is a rare talent. Aren't they a hundred times better than Wei Si's five bastards?"
Empress Mei smiled but said nothing.
The female official continued, "Back then, Wei Si was obsessed with the Emperor. Everyone in the capital knew about it. Now that Your Majesty has taken over her position as his wife, I'm afraid she has bad intentions towards Your Majesty and wants to replace her. In my opinion, we have to..."
"Stop talking! How could I bear to attack my childhood playmate?" Empress Mei sighed. "Furthermore, she has fallen from being a princess to a concubine who can only be kept in the palace by His Majesty. How pitiful!"
"The Queen has a heart of a bodhisattva."
Empress Mei recalled something and continued, "Send someone to tell Concubine Zhang that it's rare for His Majesty to find someone he likes, so tell her to be content. Concubine Zhang used to be a maidservant to Si Si, but now that her former master has returned to the capital, I'm afraid she's suffering."
