It rained heavily at night, Yun Yuhong lay on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, people who have always slept well lost sleep on the first day after returning to the palace.

Recalling that after the family of three finished dinner, Yun Yuhong asked if there had been any visits to the queen mother in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion in recent years, but the queen couldn't hold back her tears again, and Qianzong also sighed on the side. The queen took Yun Yuhong's hand and cried while defending Jing Yuanhou: "It's the queen mother's stomach that doesn't fight, don't blame them, it's also a big family." And the queen's crying was out of control, crying for an hour, Yun Yuhong didn't dare to ask again, so she begged Qianzong to accompany her mother to visit relatives in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion tomorrow.

When leaving the queen's bedroom, Yun Yuhong pulled Defu to ask, Defu also sighed lightly, and only said that Yun Yuhong would see it himself, and his knowledge was limited, so he shook his head and left.

For the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion, Yun Yuhong didn't expect to be able to help, after all, they were not close to her before, but it was always the queen's closest relative, and she didn't want the queen mother to be sad, how to treat these relatives of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion was indeed a headache. But think about Bai Ziyu's words and Bai Ziyu's experience, these families attach the most importance to the inheritance of their descendants and the glory of the family, for these, they can give up everything, and for this from the dragon's work, a hundred years of glory, it is not impossible to abandon the queen mother. Yun Yuhong thought for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that if they were thinking about family affection, then they would still be her relatives, and she would definitely sacrifice her life to protect each other. After thinking about it, her mood relaxed, and Yun Yuhong fell asleep.

In the morning, the rain has stopped, the sky after the rain washing is extraordinarily bright, and slightly dyed with some morning light, the air is very fresh, making people vomit their hearts bored, and the sky and earth are like changing the weather, becoming pure.

Yun Yuhong, who didn't sleep long all night, was in good spirits, and after breakfast, she pulled the queen out of the palace and went straight to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion. On the way, the queen still couldn't hide the excitement of seeing her relatives, Yun Yuhong held the queen's hand and said secretly: If you still have a trace of family affection today, I will leave you a little life, but if I make my kind mother sad, I will not have your relatives in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless.

About half an hour, the group came to the door of the Marquis Jingyuan's mansion, and the Marquis of Jingyuan and his family were already outside. Yun Yuhong looked at her grandfather carefully, he is over fifty years old this year, but he is tall and majestic, with strong spirits and eyes like torches. The grandmother Mrs. Fang, who was standing beside him, was a few years younger than him, with a round face, thin eyebrows, and a ruddy complexion. followed by her eldest uncle Zhao Gang, second uncle Zhao Yi, eldest aunt Li, second aunt Sun, and her cousins who couldn't be named.

After greeting each other, Yun Yuhong's mother and daughter were welcomed into the house of Mrs. Fang in the inner courtyard, and Marquis Jingyuan and the two uncles retreated with a few cousins after saying a few polite words, leaving only a room of women to speak.

Old Madam Fang seemed to love her daughter very much, and pulled the queen to ask for warmth, the queen rarely showed a happy smile on her face, and the whole person was immersed in the warmth of her relatives. Yun Yuhong was left aside and watched, she didn't want to break this beauty, but unfortunately the fake is fake, and she has to see it clearly sooner or later, so the long pain is better than the short pain. Yun Yuhong has always been a person who knows how to judge the situation and act decisively.

Yun Yuhong interjected with a smile: "Why does the queen mother only care about talking to her grandmother, and she doesn't help me introduce a few cousins, and let our sisters get close."

The eldest lady on the side hurriedly continued: "Seeing that we are only happy when the queen comes back, we have forgotten about it, here is your eldest cousin Ruomei in red clothes, your second cousin Ruolan in white clothes, your third cousin Ruozhu in pink clothes, your second cousin and third cousin are the daughters of your second uncle, and there is also a little cousin, named Ruoju, who belongs to your third uncle's family, and was taken to the border by your third uncle's family."

A few girls stepped forward to greet Yun Yuhong again, Yun Yuhong looked at the beautiful and square Miss Zhao, took her hand and said with a smile: "My cousin is so good-looking, have you ever promised someone?"

Miss Zhao was stunned, and the room immediately fell silent.

Old Madam Fang said to Miss Zhao: "It's not interesting for us people to talk to you, Ruomei, you take the eldest princess and your sisters to the garden to see the flowers."

Yun Yuhong said lightly: "I'm not interested in flowers or anything, let's accompany the queen mother and chat with the old lady."

Old Madam Fang wanted to say something, but Yun Yuhong's identity was special, and it was not something she could say, and seeing that she was in a thunderous and unshakable manner, it was useless to say anything, so she let several granddaughters and servants retreat.

The queen also seemed to feel that something bad was going to happen, and quietly held Yun Yuhong's hand.

Old Madam Fang sighed and said to the queen: "I am also good for you in this matter, although you are the queen, but you have no children, once the emperor..., I am afraid that your situation is not good, it is better to find a concubine with a son to join forces and push her son to the throne, and then he will also think of your good, you will at least have no worries for the rest of your life."

"Grandmother doesn't have to worry too much about this, how can the queen mother say that she is also the mother-in-law of the princes, and when it really comes to that day, the new emperor doesn't say whether he has filial piety, even if he is for the world, he can only offer the queen mother. Besides, the queen mother is still young, maybe she can give me a little brother. ”

Old Madam Fang's face turned cold: "I am a mother, I naturally think about my daughter, and I don't want to do this, but you see that she has not moved in the past few years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to give birth when she is old." You must know that other people's children will not treat you well for no reason, you still have to think of a way out as soon as possible. ”

"What should I do with my mother?" The queen held back her tears and asked Old Madam Fang.

Old Madam Fang saw that the queen was a little loose, and her expression looked better, "Don't be sad, isn't there no other way." Among the four concubines, only Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui are the most powerful, and Concubine Xian is an indomitable personality, I think Concubine Hui is more suitable. ”

"Does Concubine Hui agree to pass her son to the name of the queen mother?" Yun Yuhong interjected again.

Old Madam Fang choked for a moment, the following words were a little difficult to say, and looked at the eldest lady. The eldest lady continued: "The eldest princess thinks too much, of course Concubine Hui refuses to pass on her stepson." We are like this, your queen mother asked herself to give up the throne to Concubine Hui, and then..."

"You total, have you asked your father, asked your mother, the queen is not at fault, why did she ask to abdicate, the abolition of the queen is a major national matter, have you ever asked your father to agree, the queen mother appeared as the master of the harem, in the harem is still walking on thin ice, but also to endure and retreat, if there is no more queen, how do you let her survive. Finally, I would like to ask, have you ever considered me, I am the eldest princess, and the son is precious to the mother, but once the queen mother is deposed, how do you let me deal with myself?" Yun Yuhong stood up and said angrily in the face of the Yuanhou Mansion.

Old Madam Fang and the eldest lady were stunned, they really hadn't thought about Yun Yuhong. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the second lady hurriedly added: "The eldest princess is thirteen years old, and she can stay in the palace for a few years..."

"Enough, I'm not angry, but I won't treat Hong'er badly, don't mention this matter again, I've been out for too long, let's go back to the palace now." The queen has a gentle temperament, and she rarely loses her temper on weekdays, but she rarely loses her temper, which does not mean that he has no temper, especially after touching her heart and liver baby daughter, it is even more unspeakable. Her mother's patriarchal family doesn't like Hong'er She knows, but she can't not consider Hong'er's interests at all, what her mother's behavior has disappointed her too much, she didn't feel the snubbing and neglect before, but she didn't want to care, she always thought about more than ten years of parenting, but today's conversation made her cold.

Yun Yuhong didn't want the queen mother to stay here anymore, so she pulled the queen up and walked out after returning to the palace, and Mrs. Fang's group of people hurriedly chased after her. As soon as he came out of the corner gate of the inner courtyard, Yun Yuhong met the Marquis of Jingyuan and his two sons who were waiting there.

Marquis Jingyuan held his father's shelf and said to the queen with a calm face: "Don't forget, you are the daughter of the Yasukuni Houfu, and this family has raised you for more than ten years, and you have to think about the long-term of the family."

"Presumptuous, Marquis Jingyuan, don't forget that it is not only your daughter who is standing in front of you, but also the queen. The long-term development of the dignified Jingyuan Marquis Mansion depends on the sacrifice and concession of his daughter, and it is maintained by nepotism, is the man of the Zhao family dead, such a Houfu is not far from declining. Yun Yuhong stood in front of the queen mother and blocked the rebuke of the queen by Marquis Jingyuan.

Marquis Jingyuan raised his hand angrily, but considering that Yun Yuhong's identity could not be left behind, Yun Yuhong sneered and pulled the queen to stride away.

In the carriage back to the palace, the queen hugged Yun Yuhong and cried bitterly, Yun Yuhong could only pat her back and keep comforting: "Don't cry, Queen Mother, you still have your father and me, we will always accompany you, we won't want you."

The queen kept asking, "They are my relatives, how can they do this to me?"

Yun Yuhong helped the queen up, and said while wiping her tears: "Once interests are involved, many things can become very complicated, and many things can also become very simple. They just gave up their relatives and gave up this family affection for their own interests. But since they gave up first, don't provoke them in the future. It's not a person all the way, let them toss it themselves, we live ours, remember, from now on, Jingyuan Houfu and our well water will not interfere with the river water, and it has nothing to do with it. Yun Yuhong said this in a very soft tone, but the meaning of her words was extremely indifferent.

The queen looked at Yun Yuhong in a daze, shocked by her daughter's transparency and indifference, but she couldn't say anything against it.
