Chapter 245: Be good, don’t be afraid, I’m here
Yun Zheng's face turned red. She had just made a slip of the tongue. Ahhhh, so embarrassing!
The Queen sneered, "Yun Zheng, are you so impatient? Are you worthy of being the Queen Mother? You look so fawning."
They have torn their relationships apart and no one will tolerate anyone else.
The queen's authority cannot be challenged. She must put Yun Zheng under her feet to intimidate everyone.
Yun Zheng ignored her and just smiled sweetly at the Queen Mother. She looked so cute and sweet.
Her eyes sparkled as she praised, "Your Majesty, you are so beautiful! I am stunned by your beauty."
Her heartfelt praise startled the empress dowager for a moment, and then her eyebrows curved slightly.
"You are also beautiful, a bold and majestic beauty."
Yun Zheng's eyebrows curved and her voice became more cheerful.
"Hehe, the Queen Mother praised me. I'm so happy."
"When I first met Prince Rui, I noticed he had beautiful eyes. Turns out, they resemble yours."
"I've always said that like mothers, like children. Prince Rui, I should thank you very much."
She chattered away, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for making him so handsome."
The Queen Mother had never seen such a passionate and bright woman, who dared to love and hate, was unrestrained and free, and was adorable when she said sweet words.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she suddenly understood what her son was thinking.
People with indifferent temperaments are most likely to be attracted to those who are passionate and straightforward.
Falling in love with Yun Zheng is a very simple thing.
Yun Zheng naturally took her arm and said, "You should smile more often. Your smile is like a spring breeze blowing on your face, and it's so beautiful. I love it."
The Queen Mother's body stiffened; she was not used to being so close to others.
But, looking at Yun Zheng's sweet smile, he couldn't bear to brush her away.
She was just a little girl, she just wanted to be close to me.
Nanny Guan was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes. The empress dowager was used to being cold and aloof, rarely smiling, and didn't like people getting close to her.
Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him actually fell in love with the empress dowager.
Or perhaps the Empress Dowager and her son have the same taste and both like this.
The emperor stared at the faint smile on the empress dowager's lips, his expression a little dazed.
Seeing the two of them getting along so happily, the Queen couldn't help but get anxious. "She's such a smooth talker, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. She's the best at coaxing people. Don't be fooled by her."
She just couldn't understand why both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager liked Yun Zheng. What was it about her that attracted them so much?
The emperor wants to use her ability to make money more, but what about the empress dowager?
"I am punishing the princess who made the mistake. Please do not interfere, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother's expression darkened, and she was extremely indifferent. "Are you giving orders to me?"
She is majestic without being angry and has an extraordinary aura. The majesty of the empress dowager is unquestionable.
The queen's expression changed drastically. "No, no, I dare not."
Her attitude immediately became more respectful. "Her Majesty, please allow me to report this. Every word Princess Jinyun said is false. She is trying to deceive you."
Although the Queen Mother rarely shows up and has a weak presence in the palace, anyone who meets her must be respectful.
"You mean, Ai's family is ugly?"
The Queen's face turned green. "That's not what I meant. The Queen Mother is naturally stunningly beautiful, unmatched by anyone."
The Queen Mother said calmly, "As far as I know, she is not only a princess, but also an official of this dynasty. When did it become the Queen's turn to control officials? This is the harem interfering in politics."
The Queen was speechless. "But she has offended me, so she must be punished."
The Queen Mother looked at her deeply and asked, "Is it true that Prince Rui is not allowed to get married?"
The Queen's face turned pale. She knew in her heart that no matter how strained the relationship between the Queen Mother and Prince Rui was, they were still mother and son, and it was not up to others to point fingers.
She denied it repeatedly, "No, absolutely not. I wish Prince Rui would marry soon and have more children for the royal family."
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile, "Do you dare to swear to heaven that you did not interfere with Prince Rui's marriage? If you did, I will make sure you die a miserable death!"
The problem is, how can she swear that she did interfere?
The Queen flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you, a mere princess, speak to me like that? Slap me in the face!"
Her confidants were eager to try.
Yun Zheng huddled behind the empress dowager, tugging at her clothes pitifully.
"My Queen Mother, I'm scared."
The Queen Mother's heart softened, "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here, who will touch you?"
Everyone: ...
Can't you see she's pretending?
The Queen also felt that the Queen Mother had been deceived by Yun Zheng's innocent appearance. "Queen Mother, you may not know that Yun Zheng is determined to climb up the social ladder and has long had her eyes on Prince Rui."
"Prince Rui is the son of a great emperor and a descendant of the royal family. How could he marry a woman from a merchant family? This is an insult to Prince Rui."
As a mother, she naturally hopes that her son will marry a virtuous wife who is of equal social status, rather than a woman of humble origin.
Her plan was very good, but unfortunately, it was destined not to come true.
The Queen Mother saw through her thoughts and felt disgusted.
"You're overreaching. It's not your turn to interfere in Prince Rui's marriage."
The queen even boasted about her achievements with a clear conscience, "You have been worshipping Buddha for many years. As the eldest sister-in-law, it is my natural responsibility to take care of my younger brother-in-law..."
Yun Zheng suddenly said, "Empress Dowager, the Queen said you are irresponsible and don't care about the children."
The Queen Mother's expression changed and her eyes turned slightly cold.
The Queen was furious, "Yun Zheng, you are trying to sow discord."
The Queen Mother's cold voice rang out, "You're yelling and yelling in front of me. Are you dissatisfied with me?"
The Queen was furious and anxious. "I dare not, Queen Mother. Even if you punish me, I will finish what I have to say. Yun Zheng is from a merchant family. Merchants are only interested in profit and will do anything to get what they want. We must not let her marry into Prince Rui's mansion. That would harm Prince Rui."
She also pulled the emperor out, "Your Majesty, that's what I meant."
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with a cold gaze for the first time, "Really?"
The emperor's heart was slightly moved, but his expression was extremely serious.
"Wuyang is my brother. I will give him the best things in the world and marry him to the best woman in the world."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Okay, Wuyang will be grateful."
Her gaze fell on the jade pendant on Yun Zheng's waist, her eyes slightly fixed.
Suddenly, she raised her voice and said, "The Queen Mother's decree."
"Princess Jinyun accepts the order."
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, then knelt down to listen to the order.
Everyone was confused.
The authority of the imperial edict is second only to the imperial edict. Under special circumstances, it can play the same important role as the imperial edict. For example, when there is a power vacuum, the imperial edict can choose a new monarch.
Therefore, the imperial decree would not be issued lightly.
Now, as soon as the Empress Dowager issued the decree, everyone else knelt down in unison, even the Empress was no exception, and knelt on the ground.
Only the emperor was standing there, his expression extremely complicated.
How many times has she used the power of imperial decree? Ah, the third time.
It’s not used much, but every time it’s used it’s changed the fate of countless people!
So, what about this time?
