When Yun Fenghuang made up his mind to get as many benefits as possible, in the Fangyin Pavilion next to Zhu Xueyuan where the Empress Dowager lived, the sick Empress Dowager Yuan was sighing to comfort her niece Yuan Yuniang: "... everyone knows that Xiao Yun's talent She saved Huang'er, and because she had soaked in the river for a long time, the cold air entered her body, which further injured her body. If Huang'er had paid more attention to her at that time and spread the word, what should people say about Huang'er? Am I always the best? This is what the emperor thinks, so he has the heart to be criticized as being ruthless, unjust and unworthy of allegiance?"
"Can it be said that if Ji Laochen hadn't saved Xiao Yun's family, how could he have fallen off the cliff?!" Yuan Niang said bitterly, "Please tell me whether the grace of saving my life was due to Ji Lang's fault of Xiao Yun's, and what Xiao Yun's subsequent actions were. Isn't it a matter of course that Ji Lang does nothing to save her? Besides, no one knows what she is capable of, how can she be willing to save Ji Lang? He doesn't think Ji Lang likes her at all. Yes, you are trying to flatter her face on purpose!"
Empress Dowager Yuan frowned unnoticeably, then returned to normal and said softly: "When my child said such things, the Ai family felt wronged for the emperor! I think about when has the emperor wronged me over the years? When Aren't you on my side? Although Xiao Yunshi has some color, is Huang'er a superficial person who only cares about appearance? Even if he is not, it's not Xiao Yunshi's turn!"
After all, she was ill. She said so many words in one breath, and suddenly she felt a little distracted. A blush flashed across her face, and she could see her confidant, Zhan Liuluo, rubbing her back.
Zhanliu saw that although Yuan Yuan Niang was anxiously surrounding her, she had no other intentions. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has not been well in the past two months. It took a long time for the Queen Mother to take a breath after she came back. What's the matter?" Could you please tell me?"
"It doesn't matter." She was reluctant to let go of her master who was too tired, but Empress Dowager Yuan shook her head, closed her eyes for a while to recover, and then sighed, "Mother, the Ai family and the emperor must be okay. There is no need to doubt that I am facing me! The Aijia also knows that I am a good boy, and some of the things I say may not be sincere, and they are just words of anger. Can I think about it, what is the emperor's current situation? What does the Aijia know? What's the situation? The Aijia and the emperor don't care about what I said. I can't help but listen to those who are interested and stir up trouble!"
Yuan Niang pouted: "Anyway, Ji Lang has started to take charge..."
"So please be more cautious." Empress Dowager Yuan opened her eyes and looked at her, "I think that person would be willing to watch the emperor Qiangang act arbitrarily?"
"But they don't deny Jilang's wrong leg!" Yuan Niang snorted, "Jilang is the most powerful!"
Empress Dowager Yuan was silent and said: "But Ji Lang is very busy because of this, so he can't stay with me all the time. The Ai family's body is not up to expectations... I also saw the matter of Concubine Zheng's miscarriage, so Hsiao Qi The niece of the general, the eunuch has been working in the palace for many years, and her foundation is no worse than that of the Ji family! So what? The male fetus that was fully formed was gone as soon as it was gone! The noble concubine hasn't stopped crying until now, right?"
"I've already experienced such sadness once, do I really want to do it again?"
"Why do you, your Majesty, know that Xiaoyun's contribution to the rescue is worthy of merit, but why don't you seek to praise her like that?"
"After the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, I was the only happy concubine in the palace. Although the concubine in the Xuanqing Palace had just received good news, it was not known whether it was a boy or a girl. Moreover, Xiaoyun's family was not of high birth, even if the heir she raised was not Prince, what is your future?"
"Your Majesty, then it's up to me!"
"Is he afraid that something will happen to us, my mother and I? When the time comes, not to mention that the Ai family will not be able to survive at their age, how can the emperor be able to bear it?!"
"So Xiao Yun just happened to be living abroad with him and returned. He was ready to attract Zai Dongdong's attention and use him as a cover for me!"
The Queen Mother held Yuan's mother's legs, tears streaming down her face, and said with tears in her eyes, "I don't believe in the emperor's son, so don't I believe in the Ai family? The Ai family didn't have the blessing of having children in their life, so if they raised the emperor's son, they would treat it as... My biological son, as for me, what difference do I have from the direct blood of the Ai family? When the Ai family saw me and the emperor playing around the pillars in the east corridor, they thought that our childhood sweethearts would definitely make a good couple. Who knew that we would be awarded posthumous titles? In that state... Every time the Ai family thinks about it, they feel... "
She was so choked that she couldn't say anything. When she saw this, she refused to pat or persuade her. Yuan Niang also had red circles in her eyes and nodded vigorously: "Auntie, he knows it all! He... he actually So he hopes that Ji Lang will not beg for help, but he will stay with Xiaoyun’s bastard! He doesn’t really feel that Ji Lang has changed his mind!”
"Good boy, the Ai family knows that there is no reason why our wives are not united as one. But I also know whether Ji Lang Ruming is really going to go. What happened to the government and the public in the east during those months when he was living outside?" Empress Dowager Yuan Hearing this, he stopped crying and said softly, "If he dies tomorrow, he will not be able to kill me, let alone our children..."
Her eyes fell on Yuan Niang's swollen belly, and her tone became softer and softer, "Where was the way the Ai family came to the palace before, and they almost wanted to die! What made the Ai family grit their teeth and hold on, was the thought that even if the emperor's son fell in the east, Unknown, he was with my child..."
When the Queen Mother thought about this, her tears fell again.
I couldn't bear it that time, so I said with a straight face: "Mother, the imperial doctor just warned me that you should not be overjoyed or sad!"
He turned to Yuan Yu and said, "Jieyu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back to your room first. It's time for the Queen Mother to take medicine. After taking the medicine, the Queen Mother will ask for accommodation."
"...Oh." No matter how slow she was, Yuan Mian heard Zhan Liu's displeasure. She pursed her lips aggrievedly and glanced at Queen Mother Yuan. The aunt's face was red and weak, and she seemed to be unable to take into account the attitude of the nearest servant to her niece. She was entangled. Liao Dong, after all, did not pester Queen Mother Yuan to seek justice for herself, and left in dismay.
She didn't know that she had just left, so Zhan Liu said: "No, my maid told you, you are too cruel to Yue Jieyu! Didn't the mess we cleaned up for her over the years be terrible? There is nothing that should be persuaded. I've tried to persuade you, I've said everything I need to say, but I haven't made any progress at all! I'm almost a mother, but I don't know how much I care about you... You're used to it, my maid looks at you, I’m almost furious!”
"I, after so many years, I still have the same temper I used to have." Empress Dowager Yuan closed her eyes and smiled, "Mother Neem is not sensible, but she is not sensible for a day or two. The Ai family is used to it. Anyway, if you can't teach it, just coax, coax, coax. , it’s coming year after year.”
Zhan Liu hummed and said, "I'll break it up and tell her whether it makes sense or not. Before, Mrs. Yuan was very suspicious that we didn't care, so she specifically asked to arrange Yuan Zhu to be with her. It turns out that the maid thought that Yuan Zhu could not be allowed to do anything." She is more sensible, Ru Ming looks at it, maybe she thinks too simply. If the empress and Bidong have not accomplished anything, who does Yuan Zhu mean?"
Then he said angrily, "When you were at her age, how cautious you were in front of the concubine!"
"How can the Ai family compare with the Queen Mother?" Empress Dowager Yuan said lazily, "If the concubine can be half as considerate to the younger generation as the Ai family, the Ai family...hehe!"
She was too lazy to continue the topic. After all, her niece's virtues were known to everyone inside and outside the palace, and they were no longer new.
But he said, "What's going on with Yi Yuwan?"
