Chapter 479: Staying in high places for too long will make people lose their sense of proportion
But the queen was not very rational. Later, when the old lady of Duke Cheng'en came to the palace and cried, the queen's heart, which had just been persuaded by her eldest son, began to restless again.
In the end, the Queen only gave a few cursory instructions, asking the old lady of Cheng'en not to take any other actions, otherwise she would not be able to protect her.
The old lady of Cheng'en felt aggrieved, but she still listened to her daughter and just kept it in mind, waiting for a chance to settle the score later.
By the time Yang Chengchen heard about this, it was almost noon. He had originally planned to visit his mother in the palace, but after hearing about this, he immediately gave up. He quickly pretended to be sick in his house. He couldn't get involved in such a matter. He couldn't afford to offend either side.
However, Yang Chengchen felt that his grandmother was cruel and dared to destroy others for the sake of power. But in the end, he could only sigh and say, "What a big heart!"
The queen was troubled by this matter for a whole day. When the emperor came to her bedroom at night, the queen couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, it was my mother who was wrong in this matter. Please consider that she is old and let it go!"
When the Queen said this, the Emperor and the Queen had washed up and were ready to go to bed. When the Emperor heard what the Queen said, he looked at her in surprise, and he looked at her for a long time.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that?" The queen didn't say anything that made her feel uneasy.
The emperor stared at her for a long time before saying only this: "I am observing whether your lineage has been raised with hearts."
The queen immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking about my mother's old age."
"When you get older, you can do whatever it takes to please someone. Don't think I don't know. You have a niece who is the same age as Fan Houyang, right? Isn't your Cheng'en Mansion already prosperous enough?
Or are all the famous and powerful people in the capital supposed to be from your Cheng'en Mansion? As the Queen, do you still know what jealousy is? Are these two beauties enough to make you treat them like your enemies?
After the emperor finished speaking, he put on his cloak and left with his men, heading towards the imperial concubine's bedroom.
Before the Queen could even apologize, the Emperor had already disappeared.
The Queen was truly awake now. She had never been treated this way since she was crowned Queen. It turned out that the Emperor was already so dissatisfied with their Cheng'en Mansion! At this moment, she wanted to slap herself twice. Chen'er had told her not to plead for mercy, but she refused to listen.
It seems that she has been in a high position for many years and has forgotten her former fearful situation.
The next morning, the Empress sent another letter to the wife of Duke Cheng'en, telling her not to act rashly and not to touch the two beauties bestowed by the Emperor.
The old lady of Duke Cheng'en could only cry in her own yard again, and scolded Zhao Lingmeng at the same time.
The Emperor had indeed long been dissatisfied with Duke Cheng'en. The Crown Prince's position was secure, Yang Chengchen had been granted the title of Prince, and the Empress was also in the Emperor's favor. What else could they be dissatisfied with?
Not only did Manxungui spread rumors everywhere, he also wanted to take over the Crown Prince and Prince Ruihe's harem. Now he even didn't let Fan Houyang go.
The emperor felt that even if he was more lenient, he could not be so lenient. He felt that Fu Ning was very sensible and knew what she was doing. She chose daughters-in-law of low status and basically did not touch military power.
Even the eldest daughter-in-law, General Chengguo, had only General Chengguo in his family, and all his descendants had learned literature. However, General Chengguo was already old and could not hold on for many more years.
The emperor felt that if he were replaced by a less narrow-minded emperor, he would probably not dare to sleep in this position. His respect for the crown prince did not conflict with his fear of the queen's lineage.
Fortunately, the prince and Chen'er are good people and don't get involved in these messy things.
Yuan Xiangxuan's life was not easy either. Although the two maids had not taught her any tricks before, with these two people keeping her in the backyard, Madam Yuan did not dare to act presumptuously, and the servants also flattered Yuan Xiangxuan.
However, Princess Funing summoned the two back after the Su Mansion's birthday banquet. Zhao Lingmeng hadn't concealed the events that took place at the Su Mansion's birthday banquet. So everyone knew that Yuan Xiangxuan had angered Princess Funing on the carriage and was thrown off midway.
So the Yuan Mansion also found out, and all of Yuan Xiangxuan's privileges in the mansion disappeared. Although it hadn't hit rock bottom, it was much worse than before.
It was at this moment that Yuan Xiangxuan truly realized what the five words "Princess Funing" meant.
What Yuan Xiangxuan didn't know was that if Fan Houyang hadn't arranged people in the mansion in advance, she might not even be living her current life.
Fan Houyang actually wanted his mother to help him teach his future wife. After all, he didn't know much about many of the inner chamber affairs. Although he had suffered enough in his previous life, he didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the inner chamber methods.
So after Fan Houyang watched for a few days and felt that he could not get rid of Yuan Xiangxuan's predicament, he had no choice but to ask his mother for help.
But before asking his mother for help, he first went to see his second brother Zhao Houming. Fan Houyang thought that if his second brother could help speak up, his mother would probably agree.
Fan Houyang got up early that day and waited outside Zhao Houming's yard for his second brother to go pay his respects to his mother together.
When Zhao Houming finished cleaning up and came out, he saw that his third brother had already pulled the petals and leaves of the flower in front of his yard into pieces.
Zhao Houming could only shake his head helplessly before quickly stepping forward and saying, "Why are you here so early in the morning to wreak havoc in my yard?"
When Fan Houyang heard his second brother's voice, he immediately went to meet him in surprise. "Second brother, are you ready? I'm waiting for you to go and pay my respects to mother together!"
"I don't know you yet! Just tell me what's the matter! I didn't plan to pay my respects to my mother this morning." Zhao Houming had an appointment to review the strategy paper with the teacher this morning. He wanted to arrive at the academy early and give the strategy to the teacher before class started.
Fan Houyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just want Mom to take care of my fiancée's affairs. Mom doesn't like Miss Yuan very much, and I want my second brother to plead for me."
Zhao Houming wanted to say that he didn't like Miss Yuan either, but after thinking it over, he felt that it was inappropriate for him, the second brother, to say so. Puzzled, he asked, "Do you really need her?"
Fan Houyang nodded firmly, "I will definitely marry her. I am willing."
Zhao Houming glanced at the love saint's brother and could only say helplessly, "Let's go. I'll only help you this time. If it happens again, don't look for me."
At this time, Fan Houyang didn't know that in his second brother's mind, he was just a fool trapped in love.
