The emperor saw that the queen had already gone in, so he naturally followed suit. To be honest, he hadn't seen his child for more than a month.
This queen is really like this. He never takes the initiative to go to the queen's palace, and she never brings the child to see him. This makes the emperor sigh in his heart.
Those other women were vying for favor, but this woman was very generous and didn't fight for anything. Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little angry.
Could it be that she was willing to marry him only because the late emperor had issued an order? After this question flashed through his mind, he began to struggle again.
Why should he care about the opinion of such a woman? Although his thoughts were a little absent-minded, the emperor's steps were still not slow, and he had already entered the Queen Mother's Palace.
The eunuch's sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived."
These four words brought the emperor back from his trance. He saw the empress dowager standing up, and the queen beside her also stood up holding the prince. The emperor was the first to go up and pay his respects.
"My son has seen his mother."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, there is no need for so many formalities today. We are just having a family dinner. My son, you don't know that I am going out with Jiu'er this time."
"I have really gained a lot of knowledge, encountered many new things, and eaten many delicious foods. What I prepared for you tonight is one of them."
"It's called the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The real Hundred Flowers Banquet is only available in the Flower City. There are more than a hundred kinds of flowers, prepared on the spot. The taste is unforgettable."
The emperor listened to the empress dowager's words and laughed: "No wonder my brother doesn't want the throne. I can see the feelings a long time ago. It's not easy for the emperor to be like this."
"If I am imprisoned in this palace, I will have to deal with endless memorials every day. How can I be free and easy in the big world outside?"
The Queen Mother laughed: "What you said is true, but your royal brother is influenced by Jiuer. Jiuer likes to play, so to speak."
"A woman like Jiu'er is really the second most difficult person in the world! Although Xiaoman is somewhat similar, Xiaoman does not have Jiu'er's good temper."
When the emperor heard the empress dowager mention Xiaoman, he smiled: "Yes, Xiaoman is a girl who has a clear distinction between love and hate and hates evil. If you mess with her, it will be more terrifying than messing with your brother's wife."
As she said this, she actually laughed. The queen sighed, "So Xiaoman is more likely to offend people and be envied by others."
These words made the emperor confused for a moment, but he was thinking in his heart that Xiaoman had the support of him, the emperor, as well as the empress dowager, the queen, the prince and the princess.
With so many people around, is there anyone who dares to provoke her? So the emperor didn't take this issue seriously at all, but the queen mother smiled and said something.
"If you are not envied, you are a mediocre person. Xiaoman doesn't care. Speaking of which, she just left and I miss her already. Well, this is our family dinner, so let's not talk about Xiaoman."
"Come, let me see, Yin'er has grown so big now, he is so cute."
Touching Yin'er's face, the empress dowager thought about Nan, Nan, Bei and Bei. She didn't raise those two children, but she wanted to raise Yin'er by her side.
This kind of relationship must be the same as the one between Nannanbeibei and Gu Xiong and others. Then I won't have to be jealous anymore, because she has many grandchildren.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother became even happier. When the Queen heard what the Queen Mother said, she gave the child to the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother held the child, she looked left and right.
Then I realized that something was wrong with the child: "Why is Yin'er's lips this color? They look a little blue."
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the Queen began to cry. When the Emperor heard what was said, he also stood up and looked at Yin'er curiously. Yin'er was awake at this time.
With a pair of big black eyes, she smiled at the Empress Dowager, then at the Emperor. She looked very cute and made people feel very distressed.
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at the Queen: "What's going on? Why don't you speak? Why are you crying?"
After hearing this, the Queen knelt down and said, "Mother, please save Yin'er! I don't know when there has been so much insecurity in my palace."
"Someone actually dared to poison Yin'er's wet nurse. Yin'er drank her milk, so he got sick."
When the Queen Mother heard that someone dared to harm her grandson, she was furious. Even though there was delicious food in front of her, she had no appetite to eat it.
The emperor was also very shocked. Such things actually happened in the harem so early. It was simply outrageous. He looked at the queen angrily.
"What's wrong with you, Queen? Something like this happened in your palace, but you didn't investigate it. What's the point of telling your mother? You are in charge of the entire harem."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor's attitude and angrily smashed a teacup. "Emperor, shut up. Where's the nurse? Take Yin'er down first."
Seeing this situation, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was about to be angry. Worried about frightening the child, the palace maids retreated after Yin'er was carried out.
The Emperor still looked at the Empress with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Queen, when did this happen? Why are you talking about this today when the Queen Mother just came back?"
"Are you trying to prove to the Queen Mother how incompetent you are in managing the harem?"
The Queen Mother was so angry that her heart, liver and lungs ached: "Emperor, shut up! I asked you to speak, but you opened your mouth again."
The Queen Mother was extremely angry, otherwise, she would not have spoken to the Emperor like that. Seeing the Queen kneeling down again because of the Emperor's words, the Queen Mother was helpless.
"Queen, please stand up first and explain this matter clearly!"
In fact, the queen woke up from her dream when she heard Xiaoman's words in her own palace this afternoon. She was in the palace, a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones.
She couldn't always count on others to protect her and her children, so the Queen took this opportunity to attack. The first target was, of course, the Emperor.
Although no one knew what was going on, the emperor particularly disliked Lin Chuwan after she entered the palace. Since he already disliked her, she now had to protect her child.
Only by firmly grasping the power of the queen in her hands, even the emperor dare not easily shake her position! Although Xiaoman will support her behind her.
However, the most important person in the palace is the Queen Mother. But with the presence of the Queen Mother's niece, there will be variables, which is why this situation happened.
The queen wanted to establish her position in one fell swoop. She stood up and looked at the queen mother: "Mother, I am indeed incompetent because I don't understand pharmacology."
"Moreover, the thief was also very shrewd. He only gave the nurse a small amount of poison that was harmless to her, but he was able to gradually poison Yin'er through her breast milk."
"This poison will not put Yin'er in immediate danger, but will gradually weaken Yin'er's body until he slowly dies, in the eyes of outsiders or the emperor."
"It was because I didn't take good care of Yin'er, which led to his weakness and illness, and eventually his death. I found all this when I went to see Yin'er today, and you told me."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately furious: "There is such a vicious person hidden in the harem. What's wrong with not finding him? By the way, is there anything wrong with the wet nurse
The Queen continued to answer: "Yin'er's two wet nurses were originally arranged by the princess to come to Songjin Palace, and the one beside me is also a secret guard given to me by the princess."
"So I am very safe around you. That's why the evildoers can only hide in the dark and poison the nurse."
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why this situation has occurred?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment: "Mother, isn't this all because the Queen is not capable enough in managing the harem..."
Before she could finish her words, the empress dowager was already looking at the emperor angrily, and then threw a cup at the emperor's feet. The emperor sighed silently in his heart.
The Queen Mother went out for a while, and her temper became bad. She would hit people with a cup at any time. It was terrible! The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor who was still confused, and snorted coldly.
"You think it's the Queen's lack of talent. Are you doubting the late Emperor's vision?"
The emperor knew that the late emperor was the knot in his mother's heart. If he dared to question the late emperor, he would surely be hit on the head with a cup.
What's more, a son should not speak of his father's faults, so would he dare to say anything? Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything but looked angry, the queen mother didn't get angry this time.
He just said in a cold voice: "Have you ever seen a queen in any dynasty live as aggrieved as the current queen? Have you ever seen a concubine dare to act wildly in front of the queen?"
"Your father loves Concubine Qing so much, and Concubine Qing is also very respectful to me, because your father does not allow her to disrespect me, but what about you?"
"What is your favorite concubine doing? The greatest protection for the Queen is given by the Emperor, but what about you? You gave all your authority and favor to your favorite concubine!"
"Why, are you planning to become a tyrant right after taking office?"
The emperor was shocked. Yes, what had he been doing all this time? He had repeatedly disregarded the queen's authority for his favorite concubine! No wonder the queen couldn't move an inch in the palace!
It turned out that all these were the results of his actions, and Gu Xiangning had tried various ways to remind him, but unfortunately he didn't listen and still insisted on doing what he wanted.
No wonder Gu Xiangning went to Huadu. Saving people was secondary, and calling for help was the main purpose! He had pushed Gu Xiangning to such a point.
It seems that there is really something wrong with him as the emperor. The emperor looked at the queen, and the queen also looked at the emperor. Her eyes were calm, without a trace of emotion.
The emperor suddenly felt that she was a little uncomfortable with this look, and looked at the queen: "The queen has an opinion about me, why don't you raise it in front of me?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember what Princess Bingjian once said? The most powerful wind in this world is pillow wind."
