Chapter 243: Warm Daily Life of Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
"Mother, I..."
"Hush, Mother knows."
Seeing her daughter-in-law shut up obediently, the queen's eyes were filled with tender love.
"Some things are over and done with. There's no need to dig them up. That would be bad for everyone.
This is what I think, and the Emperor should think so too, so you should think so too."
"……yes."
"good."
The queen touched this incredibly beautiful face, and a hint of pride appeared on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
"Look at how beautiful my daughter-in-law is. My little grandson will surely grow up beautiful too. Just thinking about it makes me want to smile.
That's why people need to be thick-skinned. The fact that Li Laosi can have a bite of such a delicious piece of meat as you is all thanks to me, your mother, who is willing to be shameless! "
There was a hint of emotion in her tone.
“I just wronged you.
Your Majesty the Queen knows that marrying you to the prince is a waste of a good talent. You should be like your father, galloping on the battlefield and being unruly!
Jiang Wan, don't blame me."
“No complaints.
As the eldest daughter of the first duke and marquisate of the founding of the nation, if I don't marry into the royal family, not only will the emperor be worried, I'm afraid that those with ulterior motives inside and outside the court will also be worried."
Jiang Wan has always lived a very transparent life.
"My father may be a skilled warrior, but that's all he can do. He's been loyal to the Emperor from beginning to end, and he'll never have second thoughts. If someone were to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble, it's likely that our Jiang family would be finished.
Therefore, it was only after weighing the pros and cons that I decided to marry Li Chengxiu. You don't have to feel guilty about me all the time, he is really doing well now."
In response to her daughter-in-law's thoughtful advice, the queen just shook her head in understanding and said nothing more in the end. She just patted her head gently again.
Perhaps it was the slightest hint of relief in her eyes that made her look more relaxed. Jiang Wan stood up and skillfully massaged the Queen's shoulders.
"You're pregnant, and you've been traveling so long. Sit down and rest..."
"I'm not tired. Your son took very good care of me and the child along the way. I see your shoulders are drooping. Do you think you have a stiff neck again? Let me help loosen up your muscles. You know I'm an expert in this area."
When the queen heard her talking about you and me without paying attention to hierarchy, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"Look at you, naughty little girl. You've also picked up those weird things from the fourth brother. Well, what are you two going to do if neither of you has any manners?"
"What do you mean by posing? We act like princes and princesses outside, but why do we have to act like princes and princesses in front of our parents? If we act like princes and princesses every day, all we have to do is talk about this and that, wouldn't that make us exhausted?"
Jiang Wan snorted, but didn't delay his work. The Queen had lost a lot of weight; her shoulder blades felt a bit rough to the touch.
"You're such a good argumenter. It seems like you two are the only ones who are exhausted as princes and princesses. Aren't the eldest and second oldest couples also princes and princesses? How come they don't feel tired?"
The queen curled her lips and listened to the maid behind her continue to argue.
"How do you know they're not tired? I just came from my sister-in-law's place two days ago. You have no idea how much trouble she can make behind the scenes.
Compared to Princess An, I suddenly feel that I, the Princess of Qi, am actually quite impressive! "
This is absolutely true. Princess An Wang was a little funny when she was little. It is impossible for her to suddenly become smart when she grows up. She can only continue to develop in the direction of being a big funny person.
The Queen would often hear Concubine Rong complain in her letters about what stupid things her lovely and simple daughter-in-law had done, and she would always laugh along.
"You are such a jerk, girl! She's your sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"You're talking as if you haven't cricketed me from behind!
Humph, I heard from Concubine Rong a few days ago that you even wrote a letter to her to complain about your daughter-in-law.
What's wrong, Queen?
I'm not the perfect daughter-in-law you hold at the top of your heart, am I? When you like me, you call me sweetheart, and when you don't like me anymore, you turn around and call me crazy girl!
Did I hide from you that I have regular bouts of madness? What do you mean by calling me in the saddle now?
The queen's mouth twitched innocently.
"Wanjie, you are looking for my revenge now, right? To put it another way, am I not your beautiful, noble, kind and dignified mother?
Then can't I say a few words to my own children?
Besides, wasn't I there to have something to talk about with my sister? She's already complaining about her daughter-in-law, so how could I not complain about my own daughter-in-law? What if I couldn't keep up with the topic, would she still be willing to continue chatting with me?
"Oh, you two sisters are so affectionate. My sister-in-law and I are the only ones who are stupid and crazy, right?"
"...Don't worry too much about these little details."
"Hehehe."
“………”
The queen was embarrassed for a moment and then admitted defeat.
"Okay, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have teased you behind your back. I'm sorry."
"That's all right. You're the mother-in-law and I'm the daughter-in-law. It's only natural for you to say a few words to me in person."
When I returned, Concubine Rong specifically instructed me to bring you a message. If you're not feeling comfortable living in the palace, go visit her and relax. She's looking forward to your visit!
It's just right that you two won't have to write letters anymore. You can complain in person and save some money on paper, which is really great."
"………I see."
The queen felt tired and wanted to sigh.
"Wanjie, you said I taught you so seriously in the beginning, how could I have turned you into a hypocrite?
I think my process is fine. That's how my sister raised those princesses. Why did it go wrong with you?"
What Zhao Yu'e passed down was a good sutra, and Qiao Yunshu did indeed recite it word for word. Unfortunately, he met a crooked-mouthed monk like Jiang Wan, who ended up reciting the good sutra in a wrong way.
"Didn't I tell you many years ago? I'm completely self-taught and have nothing to do with anyone else."
Press your fingers on the acupoints under your hands, loosening and tightening them in moderation.
"Are you feeling better? Is your neck still stiff?"
"Oh, yes, yes, press that spot hard. You, as a master, must have good skills. What do Qing Liu and Qing Yang usually press? They almost broke my neck."
"If you want to order me around a few more times, you don't have to beat around the bush. We're not strangers here."
"Sister Wan, you're being naughty again, hahahahaha..."
Finally, the Queen Mother's hearty laughter could be heard again in Fengming Palace. Although it was still weak and out of breath, one could tell at once that she was genuinely happy.
Qing Liu and Qing Yang, who were guarding outside the door, turned their heads to look at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who looked like mother and daughter in the room. There were happy smiles in their eyes.
