Chapter 24: Obstruction

"What? The emperor wants to appoint that unknown woman as a concubine, and he wants her to be in charge of the harem? When the Queen Mother heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor just said this to the slaves, let the slaves go and issue the decree now." Father-in-law Fu replied respectfully.

"This matter will be suppressed for the time being, and the mourning family will tell the emperor, you go down first." The Queen Mother ordered.

"Yes, the minions are retired." As he spoke, he bowed down and withdrew from the Queen Mother's Xianghe Palace.

"Little nobleman, go and bring the emperor to the mourning family." The Queen Mother instructed the eunuchs beside her.

The little noble son took the order and left.

Inquire all the way, knowing that the emperor will be in Zhuyuxuan, just now in the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace, the little nobleman also heard and understood, the emperor didn't know where to bring back a woman to live in Zhuyuxuan, and now he wants to set up this woman in Zhuyuxuan as a concubine, and the Queen Mother will definitely oppose it and obstruct it more. Think about it, the queen mother's niece is still a concubine Lan now, and suddenly she wants to become a concubine halfway, so wouldn't it be a pressure on Concubine Lan, it is estimated that the queen mother will be very angry in her heart, it seems that she should be more careful in the past few days.

After a while, they walked to Zhu Yuxuan, and the minions of Zhu Yuxuan saw that it was the person next to the Queen Mother, and they did not stop them much, and the little nobleman entered the inner hall smoothly: "The slaves knocked on the emperor, and on the order of the Queen Mother, please ask the emperor to go over." ”

After hearing this, Ye Yuntian didn't call him flat, but just asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The little nobleman replied, "The slave doesn't know. ”

Ye Yuntian was already very clear about the arrival of the little noble son, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored, and he had to pretend to be casual on the surface: "I know, you go back to the Queen Mother first, and I will arrive later." ”

Xiao Guizi hurriedly went back to his life.

"Bishui, serve the concubine well, if the person disappears this time, your whole family will also disappear with you!" Ye Yuntian said coldly.

Bishui trembled: "Yes, the slave obeys." ”

After Ye Yuntian left, Bishui fluttered and knelt in front of Xiao Qian: "Please have mercy on me and save my family's life." ”

Xiao Qian hurriedly helped her up: "What's the matter, if you have something to say, get up and talk slowly." ”

"After the disappearance of the concubine Niangniang on the day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor was furious, and scolded the minions who served Zhu Yuxuan one by one with a cane, and some of them were weak, and they couldn't stand it at all, and they were already dead in the cane. The slave maid was poor since she was a child, and she only entered the palace to be a palace maid, and the whole family relied on my income to make a living, the slave and maid couldn't die, and when the slave died, the family's rations were cut off, and they couldn't survive. Please Niangniang see, the slave has been doing her best to serve, don't disappear, you are disappearing, the whole family of the slave and maid has to die, please be merciful, please be pitiful! Bishui said while sobbing, and kept kowtowing.

After Xiao Qian heard this, she felt very guilty in her heart, she never thought that because of her departure, she would bring disaster to these innocent people, she glanced at the minions in this room, and she was a little staring. She didn't know how to respond to Bi Shui's request, and she was extremely reluctant to let herself stay in this birdcage as a canary, but if she left, I am afraid that the lives of the people in this room would not be saved. She didn't know these people, she had no grievances, and if they died because of her, it is estimated that she would have a bad conscience for the rest of her life.

She wiped the tears from the corners of Bishui's eyes and helped her up: "Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore, your whole family will live well." ”

Bi Shui gratefully wanted to kneel down again, but was pulled by Xiao Qian: "I have never regarded you as a subordinate, but as a very kind sister, during my recuperation, you took care of me wholeheartedly, I saw it in my eyes, and I was very grateful in my heart, I really didn't expect that the last time I left would cause you so much damage, here I sincerely say "I'm sorry" to you, I won't disappear again when I don't ensure your safety in the future, don't worry." ”

After hearing this, Bishui was grateful: "Niangniang's words really hurt the slave maid, it is right to serve the slave maid, Niangniang does not dislike the low status of the slave and maid, and treats the slave and maid as a sister, and the slave and maid suffer this little bit of suffering." ”

Xiao Qian listened to her slave on the left and a slave on the right, remembered her tragic life experience, and couldn't help but say: "Don't call yourself a slave in front of me in the future, just call me sister, listen to you as a slave, I'm really uncomfortable." ”

Bishui was flattered when he heard this: "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qian glared at her, and she hurriedly changed her words: "Yes, sister." ”

Xiao Qian nodded with satisfaction, and after a conversation, he felt exhausted, it seems that the effect of this cartilage powder is really powerful.

Bishui also saw that something was wrong with Xiao Qian, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qian was angry when he heard this question: "It's not your good emperor, you actually gave me cartilage powder, and now I am weak, I just told you such a conversation, and I immediately felt exhausted." ”

Although Bishui felt injustice for Xiao Qian after hearing this, he felt more distressed for the emperor: "Sister, don't resent the emperor, he is also afraid that you will leave when he does this." You don't know, the day the emperor learned that you left, he let the queen mother and the harem concubines go to find you in person, and in the end, the queen mother personally stopped and persuaded me, I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen the emperor do this for any mother. It can be seen that the emperor's intentions for you, this time he brought you back, he must be afraid that you will leave again, so he gave you this medicine, and asked my sister not to hold a grudge against the emperor. ”

Bi Shui's words, Xiao Qian didn't know that the emperor had a deep affection for her, but she already had a senior brother in her heart, and she couldn't tolerate others, alas, if she hadn't gone to participate in the birthday of the head of Wudang Mountain, she wouldn't have met it, and she wouldn't have faced this difficult choice today.

Yongshou Palace

"Queen Mother, is there anything you have done to summon your son-in-law?" Ye Yuntian asked.

The Queen Mother glanced at him: "The mourning family heard that you are going to set up a woman of unknown origin as a concubine." ”

Ye Yuntian raised his eyebrows slightly: "The queen mother's news is very well-informed, so the queen mother should also know her identity and background, not an unknown person." ”

The queen mother's face froze, there was a faint displeasure between her eyebrows, and there was a kind smile in her eyes, but it was difficult to hide the frost in her eyes: "It is precisely because the mourning family knows her identity and background that the mourning family disagrees, how can a woman in the rivers and lakes enter the harem and become a concubine, and this will not be laughed at by the world." ”

Ye Yuntian said nonchalantly: "Whoever dares to laugh, I will kill whoever I want." ”

"There are so many people in the world, can you kill them?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Ye Yuntian looked at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, do the people of the world disagree, or do you disagree?" ”

"The mourners disagree." The Queen Mother said firmly.

The corners of Ye Yuntian's mouth glanced coldly: "The concubines in the harem are all my women, I can set up whoever I want, I hope that the queen mother will not interfere in this matter, and rest in the Yongshou Palace to recuperate." ”

The Queen Mother slapped the table angrily after hearing this: "Unfilial son, do you talk to the mourning family like this?" Don't forget who is behind the scenes and has been helping you to sit on this throne. ”

Ye Yuntian's eyes instantly became cold and gloomy: "I naturally won't forget the credit of the queen mother, but please remember that the person sitting on this throne today is me, and I am the master of Yunyue Kingdom, you are already the queen mother, don't interfere too much, take care of your days!" ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother trembled with anger, and at the same time understood that now this son was no longer under her control, and if she wanted to force him, it would inevitably attract his resentment, and she still had to change her strategy.

Thinking of this, the queen mother calmed down her mood for a while, and then said slowly: "What the emperor said makes sense, the mourning family is the queen mother, and it should not interfere in the emperor's affairs. ”

Ye Yuntian heard that the queen mother was willing to give in, and his tone softened: "The queen mother, please speak." ”

The Queen Mother watched the expression on Ye Yuntian's face slowly calm down before she spoke: "There are so many concubines in the harem, if the concubine is in charge alone, I'm afraid it will be a little tiring, so it's better to let Lan Wan manage the harem together." ”

Ye Yuntian knew that this was the biggest bottom line of the queen mother's concession, the so-called acceptance when he saw it, he naturally understood this truth, and said obediently: "What the queen mother said is reasonable, just follow the queen mother's will." ”

"What about the canonization?" Ye Yuntian asked tentatively.

The Queen Mother looked at him with kind eyes: "Everything will be done according to the emperor's wishes." ”

Ye Yuntian smiled and nodded in agreement.

It seems that the fierce quarrel just now, the discord between mother and son is an illusion.
