Chapter 24: Chess pieces
Chu Sleeve has been in and out of the palace frequently recently, and the Cai Mansion and his party are particularly ostentatious.
The Yao family also got the news, saying that Chu Sleeve had become a celebrity in front of Queen Yao.
The head of the Yao family guessed one or two, and immediately urged Yao Xingyuan to enter the palace with a roar, and he had to ask Queen Yao for clarification.
Yao Xingyuan hurriedly ran into the palace and told Queen Yao all the rumors that the Yao family had heard.
"My good sister, you shouldn't really be eyeing the piece of meat in Mrs. Caihou's belly, right?"
Empress Yao said with a mean face: "That stupid thing is only worthy of being used as a stepping stone for the palace, and the things in her stomach are not much better." ”
Yao Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and sighed: "It's still the mother's old plan, Weichen and his father were almost deceived." ”
Empress Yao was a little displeased, "How can this palace ever lie to you, it is you who have always disbelieved this palace." ”
Today, Yao Xingyuan came to the palace to see her, and when she asked those words in person, she understood that the Yao family mistakenly thought that she was going to form an alliance with the Cai family.
She worked hard for the Yao family to help her younger brother who was not a member of the household to the position of the head of the household.
In the past few years, she has done everything she can and has borne a lot of infamy, but even so, the Yao family is always on guard against her.
"What did the mother say?" Yao Xingyuan smiled and tried to prevaricate, "Father is just curious. ”
Empress Yao sneered and stopped answering.
Yao Xingyuan continued: "The hereditary marquis of the Cai family, although there is no outstanding person in recent generations, he is very powerful with the emperor's grace. ”
Empress Yao knew that her younger brother had been ridiculed by Cai Hou several times many years ago, and he had always held a grudge until now.
"If you really let the flesh and blood of the Cai family sit on the throne, where will there be the day when my Yao family turns over?"
As he spoke, Yao Xingyuan felt aggrieved and stared at Queen Yao.
Empress Yao had no choice but to patiently explain him and said, "You don't want to think about it, will this palace give up the position of the queen mother to a stupid woman?" ”
The two sisters and brothers talked for a while, and Queen Yao mentioned that she wanted to summon several important ministers into the palace.
"This time, the palace will borrow Chu Sleeve's hand to cut off the possibility of the emperor's eldest son returning to the country."
Empress Yao really invited several ministers and proposed in public that in order to prevent accidents, the imperial court should first appoint a prince.
Wang Qitang, Shi Yihuai and others were well aware of the fact that the first emperor had been killed.
Everyone said a word, and spontaneously divided into two factions, respectively wanting to promote the king of Xin, Chu Shizhao, and the emperor's eldest son, Chu Xue.
When Shi Huaili overrode public opinion and proposed to redeem Chu Ze from Chen Guo, Chu Sleeve suddenly entered the palace and asked to see Empress Yao.
Chu Sleeve said in public: "The concubine received a letter from the eldest emperor's brother a few days ago, saying that she had married the noble daughter of Chen Guo. ”
When everyone heard her mention the current situation of the eldest prince, they couldn't help but listen with bated breath.
"The eldest brother has been away for many years, and now that he has a wife, he still feels even more homesick. I hope that the queen's mother will be gracious and take the eldest brother and his wife back to China. ”
When Wang Qitang heard that Chu Xue had married a woman from Chen Guo, he was immediately furious, "Chen thief wolf ambition!" ”
Shi Yihuai also heard the question, and was about to refute, only to hear Yao Xingyuan's slightly sharp voice sound, "What does this mean, Prime Minister?" ”
"Humph!" Wang Qitang flicked his sleeves angrily, "Could it be that after I show the country, I will have to be sat by someone with Chen Guo's bloodline in the future?" ”
Empress Yao remained silent on the surface, opened her mouth to comfort everyone, and secretly praised Chu Sleeve in her heart that this chess piece was really useful.
Shi Yihuai noticed that Chu Sleeve joined forces with others and put himself together.
He pretended to hang his head unfazed, but secretly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Chu Sleeve, who was caressing his belly.
Since this woman is unkind, let us blame her for her unrighteousness.
He made up his mind that he must get rid of the Cai family behind Chu Sleeve.
Empress Yao's palace was treacherous, and there was also an accident in Chu Ning's palace.
Dongzhu told Chu Ning that there was a rash on Jade's body.
