A group of people walked out of the palace gate, and soon disappeared.
Seeing the empress dowager's ugly face, the nanny next to the queen mother took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Why didn't the queen mother force Miss Su to stay? If you force her to stay, the emperor might not be able to disobey you."
The queen mother said angrily, "In front of this little girl, Aijia has become an unreasonable person? How can I force her to stay?"
The nanny said, "Miss Su is too unseemly!"
The queen mother was annoyed, "I never thought that a daughter who was born in a dignified scholar's mansion would teach her daughter to be a mountain girl. Seeing you today, I am really disappointed. With her like this, how can she be worthy of Yunchu?"
The nanny also agreed deeply, "This Miss Su is really out of shape. She even tore up her skirt in front of the queen mother in the palace. She didn't have the slightest upbringing to kill her like this. She really doesn't deserve uncle Xiaoguo. Forget it? Let the emperor marry her to Ye Shizi?"
The queen mother snorted, "What is the emperor's plan? Don't think that Aijia doesn't know. He wants to use General Su to return to the court and restore his post. With military power as his backing, he will marry the clan and support the nobles of the royal clan with the intention of suppressing the father-in-law. to weaken the power of the Guozhang’s House.”
The nanny said, "But Ye Shizi of the Rong'an Palace is really hard to describe. With him like that, can he support him?"
"What do you know? The emperor has made up his mind this time. Among the young princes and grandsons of the royal clan, Ye Chang is about the same age as Su Fengnuan. The rest of them are either married or too young. Besides , Ye Chang is the son of Prince Rong An's mansion, and he is a good match for the lady of the General's Mansion in terms of identity. In addition, Yu En, the former king of Rong An, is still there, and the clan's nobles and nobles are all present. In the face of the late King Rong An and the princess, they still took care of three points. Take Jin Wang as an example, although he reprimanded Ye Chang, but in fact he did not, and still let his grandson follow Ye Chang. In his heart, Ye Chang is the one who is sympathetic. No matter how difficult he is to say, the clan will tend to go with his identity wherever he is."
"What the empress dowager means is that the emperor chose Ye Chang to use him as a cohesive force to unite all the nobles of the clan to deal with the manor's mansion?" The mother suddenly worried, "Empress dowager, then you..."
The queen mother snorted coldly, "Ye Chang's yellow-haired child is naturally nothing to be afraid of. None of the nobles in the clan can support them. The Ai family has long known the emperor's thoughts. It's been two days. Su Fengnuan is so wild, uneducated, ignorant of etiquette, and lack of boudoir manners. It's really unbearable. But if you understand her temperament, it's easy to play with. Didn't the emperor make her happy just now? I'm not afraid of these What I'm afraid of is that I don't know what General Su is thinking."
The nanny immediately said, "The Queen Mother means that there is something wrong with General Su?"
The queen mother said with a sullen face, "It's not just wrong, it's really wrong! Su Che is very loyal to the imperial power and disdains nepotism. Before he resigned, he looked down on the mansion of the head of the country. Now that he has been reinstated, and He won a complete victory in the battle against the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that he has become a hero of the Southern Qi Dynasty again, and he has made great contributions. The emperor wanted to award him Wuhou, but he deserved it. Naturally, no one objected to the civil and military ministers in the court. If he returns to Beijing, knows the emperor's plan, and relies on his military exploits and reputation, as well as the emperor's reliance, to join forces with the nobles of the royal family, then the Guozhang's mansion may be in real crisis."
"Guo Zhang's Mansion is the backing of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, so it must not fail." The nanny said immediately.
"Yes." The queen mother sighed, "otherwise, the Ai family wouldn't have worked so hard to support the mansion of the head of state after so many years. It's just that the queen didn't live up to her expectations and gave birth to three princesses, but she couldn't even give birth to a prince. No A chicken that lays eggs."
Mammy sighed too.
The queen mother said again, "The Ai family made a big mistake when they chose her to enter the palace. They thought that she was a legitimate daughter, who should have the upbringing and demeanor of a legitimate daughter, and would be the most suitable queen. Jealousy, a small-bellied person, following her mother's temper, can't tolerate all the concubines in the palace. These years, not to mention provoking the emperor's disgust, it even made the palace a mess. Sick and sick, not one good one left."
Mammy whispered, "I heard that the prince is ill again."
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Concubine Yue Gui protected him airtight, afraid of the wind, rain, and even the wall tiles of the palace suddenly falling and crushing him to death. Sick and extremely weak. Just like this, how can we inherit the great power in the future?"
Mammy was also worried, "The prince is weaker than the emperor back then."
The queen mother said in a deep voice, "The emperor is the son of the Ai family, but the prince is not the queen's son. Although the queen is jealous, she has been filial to the Ai family these years. The Ai family can't bear that she will have a bad end in the future. If the prince succeeds, hum , Concubine Yue’s mother is more expensive than her son, so it’s hard to say anything in the future.”
After hearing this, the mother looked at the queen mother again.
The queen mother looked at the palace entrance, "Why hasn't Yunchu entered the palace yet?"
Mammy tentatively said, "Maybe something has delayed it? Why don't you send someone to remind you again?"
"Forget it, he probably also heard that Su Fengnuan is a wild girl who doesn't want to marry. Everyone says that she is perfect, but he grew up in front of Ai's family, but Ai's family knows that he is very proud, even more beautiful than plum blossoms." It's not necessarily a delay if it's too cold, it's probably because you don't want to go to the palace to see Su Fengnuan, so you're delaying."
After hearing the words, the mother said, "Then...do you still want Mr. Yunchu to marry Miss Su?"
"Whether to marry or not is not something that can be decided in a short period of time. After seeing Su Fengnuan today, Ai's family was really troubled by the turmoil. Ai's family has to go back to the palace and think about it. What's more, didn't Ye Chang come too? Although he is used to being absurd, the noble blood in his bones must have made him like gentle beauties. He always goes to the Red House, so that's the case?" The queen mother waved her hand, "Well, you send someone to tell Yun At the beginning, since there is a delay, there is no need to enter the palace today."
"Yes." The old lady nodded.
Empress Dowager Feng drove back to Ci'an Palace.
Out of the palace gate, the emperor took a look and saw that Su Fengnuan was relaxed, with a bright smile on his face. He said with a smile, "Little girl offended the Queen Mother today, are you not afraid that the Queen Mother will blame you?"
Su Fengnuan blinked innocently, "Your Majesty, when the Empress Dowager is unreasonable, can she still use her status as Empress Dowager to blame and punish oppressors?"
The emperor laughed.
Mrs. Su stared, "Feng Nuan, you are too outrageous today."
Su Fengnuan turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Mrs. Su, but remained silent.
The emperor laughed and sighed, "All the ladies in the capital city of Southern Qi were carved out of the same mold. No matter how beautiful or talented they are, they will be boring after a long time. At the beginning, before the imperial concubine Yue entered the palace, she was also She has a bit of a petty temperament, and I like her temperament, and later, the palace gradually wore down her temperament." After a pause, he said to Mrs. Su, "Your little girl is very good. , Mrs. Su doesn't have to let her change."
Mrs. Su immediately said, "But the middle of Beijing is no better than the outside. This child, Feng Nuan, is really worrying. If you offend the Queen Mother today, if there is a catastrophe someday, the concubine is such a daughter who is in the palm of her hand. Is life good?"
The emperor looked at her with a smile, "Since it hurts in the palm of my hand, naturally I don't want her to be wronged. Don't worry, I will protect this little girl of yours for a day. I may live a few more years, I will go Now, she has grown up, and when she gets married, her husband will naturally protect her."
Madam Su was overjoyed, but flattered at the same time, she quickly knelt down, "Great grace from the emperor, my concubine..."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, interrupting her, "Why are you kneeling? Get up? Back then you swore not to enter the palace, I didn't embarrass you, and now I certainly won't embarrass your daughter. I said to protect her, and I didn't mean it to you For some reason, she is the daughter of the great general. The great general protects his family and defends the country, and now he has finally returned to his post. Even if Bei Zhou retreats, I am determined not to let him go this time. I need him, He has to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility."
Mrs. Su blushed slightly, she understood the hidden meaning of the emperor's words, and slowly stood up.
Su Fengnuan looked at the emperor, then at Mrs. Su, thinking of her father at the border, she frowned with a smile.
