Chapter 104: Using the Concubine
Saying that, Ye Qinxin was about to leave with the plate of pastries, but was stopped by Ye Teng shouting behind her.
"Wait. ”
Although Ye Teng was very disgusted with what her mother had done, after all, the girl in front of her was her own daughter, and she had grown up with him, so she naturally couldn't bear it, so she told her to stop, he came out from behind the desk, walked to Ye Qinxin and pinched a piece, she held the snack in the plate in her hand and put it into her mouth.
"Well, my daughter's craft has really improved, and she deserves to be my good girl. ”
"Thank you for the father's praise, the daughter has such a skill, or the father is better to ask someone to raise her. ”
After receiving her father's praise, Ye Qinxin was naturally proud in her heart, and she pinched another piece with a smile and put it into her mouth.
"Good daughter, sit down, come and watch the tea. ”
He beckoned the servants to bring the teacups, while Ye Qinxin sat down on the side, drinking tea and eating pastries while watching his father handle official business.
This is the first time she has gotten along with her father for so many years.
"Is there something wrong with you coming here today? But your unproductive mother wants you to intercede for her?"
"Naturally not, my daughter knows that what her mother has done is too out of line, how dare she clear her mother's hatred?"
Ye Qinxin is also a person who knows how to judge the situation, and knows that pleading for her mother at this time will make her father unhappy, so she naturally suppressed the words in her heart, Ye Teng couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that her daughter didn't come to intercede for her mother.
"Haven't you mother and daughter always been of the same mind? Why don't you plead for your mother today?"
"For today my daughter did not come to intercede for her mother, but to ask for a grace for herself. ”
Ye Qinxin clapped her hands as she said and shook off the powder of the pastries in her hands, and then cleared her throat and said: "The daughter knows what her mother has done, which makes her father embarrassed, and her daughter has something to ask for, maybe she can solve the current dilemma." ”
"Oh, what do you have to say!"
Although Ye Teng was annoyed by what the Liu family had done, these things had an irreversible impact on him after all, and now he was in a dilemma, if his daughter had a way to solve the current predicament, it would be a good thing.
"The daughter thinks that if her father can support Concubine Zhen as the queen mother, maybe Concubine Zhen will be willing to send her daughter to the palace, and then the father will be smooth sailing in the previous dynasty?"
Hearing that his daughter was still thinking of going to the palace to be a concubine, the anger in Lieteng's heart ignited again, he slammed the pen in his hand, stood up, pointed at the child's nose and scolded: "You bastard thing is really taught by your mother, and your mother is stupid!"
Ye Qinxin had long expected that her father, when she heard that she was going to enter the palace, she would be very angry, and she had already been mentally prepared, she first signaled her father not to make a big fuss, and then said: "The father has not listened to his daughter's strategy, and he is going to reprimand his daughter, what is the reason? If the father really wants to reprimand his daughter, it is not too late to talk about it after listening to his daughter's thoughts." ”
"I'm going to hear what ivory you dog can spit out of his mouth today!"
Ye Teng snorted coldly, he was already very disappointed in the mother and daughter of the Liu family, she had already told the Liu family not to do anything out of the ordinary, but she didn't expect the Liu family to do it, he had already told Ye Qinxin to stop forcing her to enter the palace, Ye Qinxin didn't listen at all, and now he was very disappointed in their mother and daughter.
"My father has been helping the Queen Mother before, but because I was afraid of the power in the hands of the Queen Mother, the former Queen Mother had a father who was a general in the previous dynasty, but now that the general has retired in old age, and those people in her mother's family are stubborn, and the father of the court is in full swing, and now that the Queen Mother has died, my father really doesn't want to support another concubine to ascend to the position of the Queen Mother and consolidate the power in his hands?"
Ye Qinxin's words can be regarded as speaking to Ye Teng's heart, those people in the Queen Mother's family have always been unruly and unwilling to listen to Ye Teng, so when the Queen Mother was there, Ye Teng needed to help the Queen Mother do things, and now that the Queen Mother is gone, Ye Teng will have nothing to fear, but her mothers are an eyesore in the court after all.
If you can take this opportunity to eradicate the power of the queen mother in the court and support the concubine to ascend to the throne, the concubine has no one to rely on in the previous dynasty, she can only rely on him Ye Teng, and then he will be alone in the court.
"Hmph, your idea is feasible, but tell me how we can make the concubine listen to us, and how can we explain it? Why does our Ye family support the Queen Mother for a while? Support the Concubine for a while, and how to stand up to those forces in the court that support the Queen Mother?"
Ye Teng's questions were thrown out, but it gave Ye Qinxin a little headache, she had just thought of this method before, as for the details or something, she hadn't thought about it carefully, so she began to think carefully again.
After being silent for a long time, she spoke again: "Your father's prestige in the court now, isn't it very simple to make those powerful people obedient? As for the concubine, hmph, the only way for her to control the emperor is to send her daughter to the palace." ”
Ye Qinxin knows very well that if the concubine wants to become the queen mother, the only one she can rely on is Ye Jia, and it is not difficult to use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail the concubine.
Besides, Ye Wanying's little hooves helped the concubine enter the capital back then, but the queen mother was also on Ye Wanying's side, it is difficult to say whether Ye Wanying will help the queen mother prevent the concubine from entering the palace, if the concubine wants her son to really become her own son, she can only let Ye Qinxin help her complete.
"Heh, you finally came up with a good way, since this is the case, then the father will do it, if you can't do it, you will wait, and then you will get out of the Ye family with your mother. ”
Ye Teng said this, but he was still reluctant to let the two of them mother and daughter do it in his heart, but this time the Liu family made too much trouble, and he had to let go of his cruel words, so that the two mothers and daughters would not do anything stupid when he was doing things.
The daughter knows her father's thoughts, and the daughter will naturally dissuade her mother, and the father can rest assured, and the daughter guarantees that the father will not cause trouble for you this time. ”
With Ye Qinxin's promise, Ye Teng could finally put his mind at ease, he nodded, asked someone to send the eldest lady out, and then began to encircle the magnates of Admiralty, and asked them to help him send the concubine to sit on the queen mother's duty.
But it was useless to just win over the powerful, he had to tell the concubine why she did it first.
