As soon as Li Lingyou walked into the hall, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and the two queen mothers were sitting side by side, their faces were not very good.

Li Lingyu stepped forward to say goodbye in a regular manner: "Two sisters-in-law, I'm going out of the palace." ”

Empress Dowager Yin didn't squeak, and looked at Empress Dowager Rong expressionlessly.

Empress Dowager Rong stubbornly spoke: "Yongsi, did you forget to tell me something." ”

Li Lingyou shook his head suspiciously: "No." ”

"Think about it."

Li Ling pondered for a moment, but still shook his head.

Empress Dowager Rong was really hard to speak, and handed Empress Dowager Yin a look of help.

Empress Dowager Yin sneered and said unceremoniously: "Why should Princess Yongsi pretend to be confused, do you think you can hide the matter of asking the king for a dowry?" ”

Li Lingyou was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Empress Dowager Rong unexpectedly: "Sister-in-law, what you want to say is this matter?" ”

Empress Dowager Rong nodded curtly.

Li Lingyu smiled dumbly: "My sisters-in-law misunderstood me, I didn't deliberately hide it, nor did I forget to say it, but I didn't think it was necessary to say it." ”

Empress Dowager Rong and Empress Dowager Yin frowned together, "It's not necessary? ”

They didn't understand the meaning of Li Lingyou's words.

"yes, there's no need." Li Ling looked at them with a smile, but the words he said made the two queen mothers change color, "That's my dowry, what does it have to do with the two sisters-in-law?" Is it necessary to tell you? ”

Empress Dowager Yin reprimanded angrily: "Yongsi! You are presumptuous! ”

Empress Dowager Rong said sadly: "Yongsi, how can you talk to me like this? ”

"I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong?" Li Lingyou asked rhetorically.

Empress Dowager Yin said: "Of course it's not right!" Your dowry was given to the Khan of the Qiang State by the first emperor in your name in order to seek peace, and now that the Qiang State has been destroyed, those things naturally do not belong to you, and you should return them. ”

Li Lingyou put away her smile, looked at Empress Dowager Rong with her talking eyes, and asked softly, "Do you think so too?" ”

Empress Dowager Rong's heart was sudden, and she suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, on the day when the Empress Dowager designated Li Lingyou to kiss her, Li Lingyou also looked at her like this and asked her what she thought.

How did she answer at the time? She couldn't remember clearly, but she just remembered that she nodded and agreed, because she had to agree, for the throne of the first emperor and for the people of Daliang, she could only wronged Li Lingyou.

Did she do it wrong? She didn't.

"Yongsi, you are obedient, return those things." Empress Dowager Rong was ruthless and gave a reply.

Li Lingyu's throat was itchy and he wanted to cough, so he lowered his head and pressed the back of his hand against his lips, but he couldn't hold back.

She was a little disappointed, but not sad, because she had expected this to be the outcome.

"Okay, you can take it," Li Lingyu gasped slightly, looking delicate and weak, but when he raised his eyes, he showed a look of obedience: "As long as you take it back." ”

The faces of the two queen mothers froze, if they could get it back, why bother talking nonsense with Li Lingyou.

"Empress Dowager," Li Ling turned her eyebrows gracefully, looked at Empress Dowager Yin, changed her title, but lost her respect, "You should have sent someone to the princess's mansion last night, did you return empty-handed?" ”

Empress Dowager Yin was shocked, Li Lingyou was in the palace last night, how did she know?

"Actually, I promised the king before I entered Beijing," Li Lingyu said unhurriedly, "As long as he helps me keep the dowry, I will voluntarily give him half of it." ”

Empress Dowager Yin blocked her chest in one breath, and Empress Dowager Rong looked at Li Lingyou in disbelief.

"If you want my dowry, you can only negotiate with the king," Li Lingyu kindly reminded them, "unless he is willing to give up half of the benefits, or you are willing to give him more." ”

Whether the royal king is willing or not, Li Lingyou can't say well, but she can be sure that the two queen dowagers should be unwilling to share the wealth of the rich country with a different surname, even if the Empress Dowager Yin can agree, the Empress Dowager Rong will never agree.

Sure enough, the two queen mothers looked at each other, the Empress Dowager Rong saw the hesitation in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yin, and the Empress Dowager Yin saw the jealousy in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Rong, and the tacit understanding that the two had established last night collapsed in an instant.

"Yongsi," Empress Dowager Rong took the lead and persuaded earnestly: "You misunderstood, sister-in-law didn't mean to persecute you, you don't want to return the things, just keep it for yourself, you don't have to share it with the king, it is the dowry given to you by the first emperor, the mourning family wants to see, who dares to reach out and ask you!" ”

The last sentence was clearly for the Empress Dowager Yin.

Empress Dowager Yin immediately sneered: "Princess Yongsi doesn't have to sow discord, the king's personality, the mourning family knows better than you, even if he takes your dowry, he will return it to the palace in the end, and will never swallow it privately, as for the half in your hand, you have to pay it back if you don't pay it back, otherwise you don't want to step out of the palace gate!" ”

Li Ling frowned: "You want to put me under house arrest?" ”

"That's right."

Li Ling's face sank: "Why? ”

"With me being the queen mother of Da Liang, you are the remnant of the dead country!"

Li Lingyou's eyes instantly turned red, she stared at the Empress Dowager Yin, and asked in a dumb voice, "What do you say I am?" ”

It turned out that she gave up everything to marry the Qiang country and endured humiliation for 14 years, in exchange for the infamy of the remnants of the country?

Amusing! Damn it! Hateful!

Empress Dowager Yin felt frightened at first when she looked at Li Ling's cannibalistic gaze, and then there was a sense of shame that her majesty was provoked, forcing her to ignore the order: "Come on, escort Princess Yongsi back to Changle Palace!" ”

Empress Dowager Rong was hesitating whether to stop it, when she heard a sharp report from a eunuch outside the hall-

"The edict has arrived!"

Empress Dowager Rong clearly saw Li Ling's lips hooked and sneered, and then, a majestic figure appeared outside the palace gate.

The regent walked into the Zichen Hall quickly, holding a scroll of edicts in his hand, his sharp gaze swept over the two queen mothers, and he stopped for a moment on Li Ling's thin back, then lowered his eyes, and his voice was thick and powerful:

"Please take the decree from Princess Yongsi."

The two queens looked at each other, obviously not expecting this.

Li Lingyu exhaled slowly, his face regained his composure, and he turned around and bowed.

The regent announced with an expressionless face: "I Shaoying, Princess Yongsi Li Lingyou, the beloved daughter of the ancestor emperor, the sister of the first emperor, and my aunt, have intelligent knowledge, have a prudent trip, have a solemn manner, have the virtue of benevolence and righteousness, have surrendered and kissed for 14 years, and have meritorious service in protecting the country and the country...... Now canonized as the eldest princess of Dingguo, 3,000 households, and returned her dowry, admiration. ”

This edict, like a slap in the face, slapped the faces of the two queen mothers, making them feel at a loss for what to do.

The word "Dingguo" is the highest title that a princess can enjoy, and the eldest princess represents the noble status of the emperor's aunt. It was not enough to correct her name by canonization, this edict even stated that Li Lingyou's dowry would be returned to her, and she would be the richest woman in Da Liang in a grand manner.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Li Lingyun took the edict from the regent without being shocked, got up and straightened her back, she didn't look at the faces of the two queen mothers, and walked out of the Zichen Palace.

The regent turned his head and followed Li Lingyu's figure.
