Chapter 154: The wet nurse is not a mother, she is a slave
Old Madam Qian was so frightened that she got up from the bed, trembling as she tried to kneel down, muttering something.
"I am guilty, I shouldn't be so arrogant."
The emperor reached out to support her, and they looked at each other in an extremely awkward atmosphere.
The servants wanted to cover their ears, not wanting to listen, not wanting to see, and not wanting to know.
The emperor's face darkened as he said in a deep voice, "Jinyun, this is Madam Qian."
She is so bold, she dares to say and do anything.
Yun Zheng looked confused. "Although I don't know why you hid my biological mother in the Qian family, but she gave birth to you, so I respectfully call her the Empress Dowager. Is there anything wrong with that?"
She asked the question seriously, as if she was imagining a melodramatic palace drama.
"Your Majesty, is this a case of a cat replacing the prince? Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and will never tell anyone."
The emperor couldn't tell for a moment whether she was serious or not.
"Nonsense, my biological mother died a long time ago, this is my wet nurse."
Yun Zheng suddenly realized what was going on. Then, she curled her lips and said confidently, "Your Majesty, this is not my fault. You misled me."
"Aren't the elders in my family the elders in my family?"
She looked confused. "But, a wet nurse isn't my mother. She's just a servant of the royal family. How can she be considered an elder? Why are you lowering your status?"
Emperor: ...This is just a gesture of closeness and to raise the status of the Qian family.
But, after Yun Zheng said that, it seemed very embarrassing.
Some things can only be understood implicitly; it would be embarrassing if they were pointed out.
The Qian family's faces turned pale and blue, so complicated that they couldn't be described in words. They wished they could block her mouth.
Old Madam Qian looked at Yun Zheng deeply. This woman was unconventional, extremely bold, and spoke shockingly. She even had contact with the emperor.
"This is a favor from the Emperor, a gift to the Qian family. The Qian family is deeply grateful, but I dare not accept it."
This was a way for the Emperor to step down. The Emperor nodded at Yun Zheng unhappily and said, "Look at how well-mannered Madam Qian is. You should learn from her."
"Jinyun, I just hope you can get along well and stop being so confrontational."
Yun Zheng was speechless. Wasn't that a shame? He was the one who had bullied the Qian family, and now he was the one who was giving them face.
What is this? A slap in the face followed by a sweet date, the emperor's way of exorcising people?
"My principle is: if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. But if someone offends me, I will definitely offend him."
"Instead of worrying about these things, Your Majesty should restrain your ancestors."
The emperor glared at her angrily, and said, "Your mouth will cause trouble sooner or later."
Yun Zheng put her hands on her hips and said, "As long as the emperor protects me, I can walk sideways. Who is afraid of who?"
The emperor was speechless, "You still expect me to protect you?"
Yun Xiao raised his chin, extremely proud and arrogant, "What's the matter? You took the benefits and you don't acknowledge it? Or do you not want to make any more money?"
"I'm the goose that lays golden eggs, so you have to cherish me."
The emperor laughed in anger. She had said everything, good and bad, so what else could he say? Forget it, this was just her bad character, she spoke without restraint.
He didn't realize that his bottom line towards Yun Zheng was getting lower and lower.
The Qian family saw everything that the two did, and Qian Wei felt mixed emotions.
Even if the emperor does it for money, he wouldn't be so tolerant, right?
Old Madam Qian was deeply shocked. She knew the emperor's temperament very well and was extremely suspicious. However, he did not seem to have such suspicion towards Yun Zheng in front of him, and treated her as close as her own junior.
Who in this world has such a privilege?
Even towards his younger brother, whom he had raised, he still had an emperor's suspicion of him.
It’s amazing, how did Yun Zheng do it?
Her mind raced, "Princess Jinyun is straightforward and lovely. I really like her. It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively and bright girl."
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "She just has a bad temper, everything else is fine. Please don't take it personally."
Although he said that Yun Zheng was not a good person, his intention to protect her was obvious.
Madam Qian knew what he meant and quickly said, "I am already old, how can I possibly argue with a child?"
The emperor looked at Yun Zheng, then at Old Madam Qian, and suddenly an idea struck him. "Jin Yun, why don't you become a godparent of the Qian family and recognize Old Madam Qian as your grandmother?"
Yun Zheng was furious. Why would he drag her into this? "No."
Qian Wei's face darkened. "Are you looking down on my mother? Although my mother came from a poor family, she has made great contributions to the country."
Yun Zheng was not afraid at all, but was actually very loud.
"I don't dislike her, I dislike you and Jiang Shurong. When I think about calling you uncle and aunt, or dad and mom, I feel uncomfortable all over. One of you is stupid and mean, and the other is cunning and treacherous. I can't stand this injustice."
"You..." Qian Wei's face turned red with anger. Damn it, he really wanted to beat her up.
Yun Zheng yelled, "Your Majesty, you like to find an ancestor to put pressure on me and tell me what to do. I don't like that."
Who likes the emperor vomiting blood? Is there anyone who speaks like her?
"I don't want an ancestor who suppresses me in every way. Why should I be someone else's grandson if I don't want to be a good person?"
Her straightforwardness gave the emperor a headache, "You really are..."
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled. "Your Majesty, if you really like to marry someone, why don't you be my adoptive father?"
The emperor was stunned. This thought process was too fast. "What? No."
His daughter is a princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, and this kind of godparent cannot be recognized casually.
Yun Zheng felt extremely aggrieved, her eyes full of accusations, "I knew you disliked me."
The emperor felt inexplicably guilty and avoided her gaze. "This is not a trivial matter. We cannot be careless."
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, "I understand. I understand everything. You despise me, and I despise the Governor-General of Jiangnan and his wife. We have the same heart. Do not do to others what you do not want done to you, Your Majesty."
emperor:……
After being disturbed by her like this, he had no more ideas and no more interest.
The emperor did not stay long. He expressed a few words of concern for Madam Qian's health, comforted the Qian brothers, and then stood up to say goodbye.
The Qian brothers were very attentive and said, "We'll take you there."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "No, just serve the old lady well."
He left in a hurry with his men. Qian Wei hesitated for a moment and looked at the old lady. The mother and son exchanged a meaningful look.
In the Qian Family Garden, flowers are in full bloom.
When the group came around the rockery, they saw a girl in white clothes holding a fan and catching butterflies in the garden. She looked cute and lively, and she laughed crisply and sweetly.
She is dressed in white and looks elegant and refined, what a beautiful painting of a woman chasing butterflies.
The emperor stared at it in a daze, as if he was in a trance, as if he had traveled through time and returned to that afternoon thirty years ago.
Young boys and girls played in the garden, the sun shining on them, bright and full of warmth.
Those were the best times of his life.
"who is she?"
Yun Zheng looked at his infatuated expression, then looked at the girl in white who was fluttering butterflies lightly. She raised her eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
It's quite interesting.
