For Princess Chu to return intact from nine deaths, the Son of Heaven and Qin Xiang were very dissatisfied, but life and death are uncertain, it is possible to be intact, and he was not caught off guard, the Son of Heaven had a plan in advance, no matter whether the Su family can save the day, she must also be expelled from the clan.

The only concern of the Son of Heaven is that the Empress Dowager will try her best to protect the Su family, in order to firmly encircle Yu Feng and the Su family, is that he immediately planned to secretly go to Chu with the intention of spying on Yu Feng, and found out the hiding place of the Qi family and the party by touching the melon, threatening and luring, causing the Su family to clear its name, and take the initiative first.

Not only did Xiao Li have no achievements, but the Empress Dowager was also on guard, and issued a secret decree to directly order Yu Feng to escort the Qi family back to Beijing, refusing to be interrogated by others on the way.

This further proves that the empress dowager is "ill-intentioned", greedy for the power of the superintendent and wants to make the emperor a puppet, and the Son of Heaven gritted his teeth.

However, he is not helpless, just because of Chen Xiangzhi's advice, he provoked the Empress Dowager and the Su family to turn against each other in advance, and Qin Xiang also expressed his resolute approval - as long as the Empress Dowager gives up the Su family and lets the Son of Heaven decide, his family's Qiniang will have ninety percent hope of becoming the concubine of the King of Chu, as for the Weiguo Mansion, to the point where the Son of Heaven is jealous and not tolerated by the Empress Dowager, the fall is only a matter of time, the Chen family wants to collude with the Huang family and the mother and son, and the Qin family has the in-laws of the Chu Palace, that is, the Son of Heaven has to be feared, and the power is just around the corner.

Qin Huaiyu's calculations are not pure, after all, it is not easy to suppress the Weiguo Mansion, he thinks that it is more difficult for the Son of Heaven to clean up the King of Chu, moreover, there is the Qin family and the Chu Wangfu together, the Son of Heaven is more and more difficult to succeed, although the Son of Heaven is a son-in-law, but also the emperor, Qin Huaiyu also understands that the identity of the Yue family of the Son of Heaven alone is not enough to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, and must have the strength that can restrain the imperial power, the Weiguo Mansion is a plan not to be co-opted by the Qin family, and the Son of Heaven does not allow the Qin family to get close to the Su family, only the King of Chu is the clan in the end, Even if the Son of Heaven is jealous, he is still "close and distant" compared to the foreign ministers, and he will not suppress it, but should also give grace, so he will condone the Qin family to calculate the position of the princess of Chu.

When those plans are implemented one by one, the Empress Dowager is not afraid, and the Weiguo Mansion has been suppressed again, even if Yu Feng is affectionate, he has to consider the survival of honor and disgrace, if he can form an alliance with the Qin family, he will not be cut by the Son of Heaven, Qin Huaiyu does not believe that Yu Feng will not know what to do, and he swore not to marry the bride, but he thought that the Weiguo Mansion was still powerful, and he knew that the Empress Dowager had the right to supervise the government, and he thought that it was not dangerous.

So Qin Xiang told his eldest daughter-in-law early, if there is a chance to contact Ziruo, he must tell her to be patient and not to act rashly, although the return of the Su family is sudden, it is not an accident, everything is still in the plan.

In Qin Xiang's mind, the queen has to rely on the family to even rely on the queen for security and stability, so he doesn't expect the queen to be of any help, the queen's existence is just a bond of mutual trust between the Qin family and the Son of Heaven, this time is not too long, it can only be before the unification of the monarchy of the Son of Heaven, and at that time, the queen alone is not enough to maintain the love of the monarch and ministers - the eldest son of the emperor is not the queen's own son, sooner or later it will end in premature death, the queen has no heir, how can Qin Xiang expect her to protect herself, and only the Qin family will grow into a heavy family that restricts the emperor's power, is expected to keep the queen on the throne.

So the queen, who didn't have the family's notice, couldn't wait.

Yijing's safe return not only did not make the queen worried, but made this overjoyed, of course, not out of good intentions, but the queen remembered Yijing's dominance for a long time, and hated Su's "short life", and she couldn't vent her anger - Queen Qin originally thought about venting her anger on Yichen, and humiliated her at the palace banquet, but Yichen was really wooden, and ignored the queen's contempt, the other party had no resentment, and the resentful became the queen, but Yichen was the concubine of the clan in the end, and now she is widowed, only guarding a pair of young children to live, The queen was so difficult, but was privately ridiculed and narrow-minded by the wives, and this word reached the ears of the queen mother, where could she bear it, and she reprimanded the queen.

Concubine Fu has no worries about the overall situation, just like a living dead, the queen has repeatedly made it difficult to distinguish between people and laughed at others, not to mention that the wives secretly despise her, and the queen mother feels ashamed.

The queen held back the fire in her belly, now it's okay, Yijing is sent to the door, how can she let it go?

It's just ecstatic, the ancestors finally blessed her, didn't let the Su family die so easily, and let her be severely humiliated and then see her ruined and discredited, and ended up with a genealogy removed and abandoned home, this is a shame.

Therefore, the queen sat on the top, gossiping with the eldest sister who happened to enter the palace today to ask for peace, and at the same time asked people to prepare the brocade group early, waiting for the beautiful scenery to prostrate on the top.

Yijing was introduced into the side hall, and he saw the brocade at a glance, but he didn't see it, just a deep curtsy, paused, and saw that the queen did not politely "exempt himself", so he stood up straight, but he was not arrogant to the point of sitting uninvited, but stood on one side, only raised his eyes and glanced at another guest who was unconscious, and smiled slightly.

The aunt of the Qin family, who only had a pleasant grade, suddenly stiffened her spine, she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the princess, so she stood up and stepped forward.

If it is said that the "blindness" of the beautiful scenery has made the queen's dantian scorching, and the humility of the elder sister is even more like adding fuel to the fire, the eldest lady of Qin is the eldest granddaughter of the Qin Xiang, and the queen and the son are the same mother, so she has been valued since she was a child, taught by Mrs. Qin herself, and was not arranged to take care of the do-nothing Mrs. Qin, but unfortunately the eldest lady of Qin failed in the selection of the crown princess, and the age is not close to that of other princes. Of course, the husband's family should not be underestimated, and it is the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, and Aunt Qin's father Weng was also a six-part Shangshu at the beginning, but he was unexpectedly calculated by the Jin Party and was dismissed from office.

Although Aunt Qin is the head of the family, she is far less arrogant than the queen, and she still knows the rules of etiquette.

The queen did not sympathize with the embarrassing situation of the eldest sister, and rushed out of the tip of her nose with a sneer, her eyes were like sharp thorns: "Concubine Su, you have been captive for more than a year, is it possible to forget the etiquette?" ”

Yijing looked inexplicable: "What does Niangniang mean?" Today is not a court meeting, and it is natural for concubines to see each other with family etiquette. ”

Yijing as a prince and princess, if it is not for the court to see the bow, usually only to see the family etiquette, although the queen is the mother of the world, but with Yijing is the same generation, on the clan ranking or the younger sister-in-law, of course, "the monarch and the minister are different", Yijing can not be blessed by the queen, but she bends her knees and a blessing is already a ceremony, and it is not to see the elders, why do you need to kneel and worship?

Of course, if the queen asks for guilt, even the princess and princess must kneel on the ground, but Yijing is not guilty to ask, and the queen has nothing to do.

The queen may not be ignorant of royal etiquette, but she didn't expect that she would hint so obviously, and the Su family, who saw that the catastrophe was coming, still refused to give in.

If there is no brocade group set up on the ground, Yijing probably feels a little embarrassed to stand on the ground, but now she has no grievances, only smiled and faced the queen, more than a year, the original princess Qing has been the mother of the world, but the act still has not grown at all, obviously can have the upper hand, but she is full of anger, the princess "cautiously" speculated, the mother should not lift the table and spill it, right?

"Concubine Su's teeth are as sharp as before, and this temperament is still the same as it was at the beginning." The queen sneered again: "I heard that the remnants are all extremely vicious, and Concubine Su fell into the hands of thieves, presumably suffering a lot." ”

These words are obviously paving the way for questioning.

Yi Jing's smile did not change: "If it falls into the hands of Yu Sin, the concubine will have no reason to survive, but fortunately, she was rescued by the Qi family in time." ”

There was only this coping explanation, and the princess didn't even have the leisure to repeat that set of rhetoric again.

"Saved? As far as the palace knows, the Qi family is extremely guilty of using the princess to threaten the court, how can according to the princess, the guilty has become a benefactor. ”

"The reason for this has been questioned clearly by the Empress Dowager earlier, and there is a conclusion." Yijing is still vague, but there is a layer of meaning that is very clear, about this matter, the queen has no right to ask.

Although the queen is narrow-minded and domineering, she is not so stupid as to not understand the meaning of the words, she raised her long eyebrows high, and there were two angers in her eyes: "What? Won't this palace ask you about this? ”

"If the mother wants to ask, of course the concubine knows everything." Having said that, Yijing didn't mean to take the initiative to explain.

The atmosphere in the side hall was like a tight string for a while, the queen was angry, the princess was silent, but the lady Qin who was on the side didn't hold back the cold sweat and wet her clothes, not only worried that the queen would be angry but also made a ridiculous act that couldn't be closed, and she really didn't resent Concubine Su for being so arrogant and domineering, it was clear that she was relying on the support of the queen mother and didn't look at the queen in her eyes.

However, the eldest lady of Qin is the eldest in the end, although she failed to marry a noble person because of "being born at the wrong time", but the prime minister's mansion has not completely given up on her, especially if Qin Zi is now trapped in the palace of the Chu Palace, it can't be like in the past often entering the palace to advise the queen, this heavy responsibility is transferred to the shoulders of the eldest lady, compared to the queen, she understands a little bit of the family's calculation plan, and knows that this is not the time to "scare the snake", and even if the queen is held responsible, it will not hurt the Su family, but may be reprimanded by the queen mother.

At this time, she resolutely could not add fuel to the fire.

It was she who smiled lightly and said from the middle: "The queen mother is worried about the safety of the princess, and she is inevitably concerned." ”

Yijing expressed her understanding and gratitude: "The concubine is all right, and she has the care of Lao Niangniang. ”

It's as if I didn't see the queen's face, which was burned blue and red with anger.

Seeing that she couldn't force Yijing to soften, let alone implement her innocent charges, where was the queen willing, she didn't want to sit, and she didn't care that her parents and sisters had to stand together, the long armor scraped the carved handle, pinched it heavily in the palm of her hand, and held back the words of scolding - the eldest sister heard her insist on seeing Concubine Su earlier, and she admonished that it was not easy to make Concubine Su convicted, and she had to think about it in the long run, although she didn't think so, but at this time, seeing that Yijing didn't hesitate to push the queen mother to block the arrow, she also understood that she couldn't be in a hurry.

Although her throat was burning, the queen didn't ask any more, but asked Ziruo: "My seventh sister, are you okay now?" ”

Not to mention that Yijing almost couldn't hold back her laughter, Qin's eldest lady was also red-faced, if Qin Zi was repeatedly rejected by the king of Chu, she did not hesitate to be willing to be a concubine, who didn't know that the Qin family had expelled her from the family, although the Qin family had the intention to spread the public opinion of Ziruo's "love to sex", but later it was still criticized for shamelessly corrupting the family style, that is, after the king of Chu went to the domain, these discussions gradually subsided, and the queen openly asked her at this time, didn't it show that the Qin family was acting cowardly and secretly supporting Qi Niang's willingness to be a concubine?

She hurriedly explained: "If the son is willful and reckless, the father and ancestor will inevitably be angry, but the mother can't bear it after all, and the mother is also sympathetic to the mother's compassion, so she cares about the situation of the son." ”

The princess didn't care about the little Yiren always interjected, and once again expressed her understanding: "Although Ziruo's trip is not tolerated by the etiquette, but in the end she is a blood relative to Niangniang, how can you say that the brotherhood can be broken, Niangniang is relieved, although Ziruo is uneasy, repeatedly asks for self-reliance, in the end, it is a pampered and raised lady, how can the palace really let her do heavy things, now only in the needlework room, that is, to do some light work of female red needles." ”

Not to mention that the queen grabbed the handle at once, even Mrs. Qin's face was not good-what a concubine Su really dared to call their daughter as a slave!

But the princess obviously didn't take into account the feelings of the sisters, and said: "From the perspective of the concubines, Ziruo has remorse, especially for Mrs. Qin, and she has also cried that she is unfilial, and her mother is sad...... Niangniang should also comfort Qin Xiang and Youcheng, and then forgive Ziruo once, let him return home, and not be humiliated by being a slave. ”

"Concubine Su, if you are really virtuous, how can you not know why Qi Niang fell into this realm and was willing to be said by others." The queen couldn't hold back her blurt out for a while.

Yi Jing only felt inexplicable: "If Zi Ruo is the daughter of the Qin family, even if she is abandoned by the family, it is also because of her obsession, Mrs. Qin begged hard, the palace gave Ziruo a place to live, the concubine really didn't know that she still had the responsibility to be considerate of her, she was not my family, at most it was old, although she was willing to be a maid now, the concubine had never been scolded and treated, as for Ziruo's previous thoughts, even Qin Xiang and Youcheng regarded it as a strange humiliation, and the concubine did not need to pay attention to Ziruo's wishes. ”

Yijing sighed lightly: "Niangniang, if you want to say it, if the son acts so wantonly, it is indeed an unfilial act, and it is really hurtful to the reputation of the family, no wonder Qin Xiang is angry, Qin Xiang is an important minister of the country, the palace should take into account the reputation of the Prime Minister's house, and will not really take the son as a concubine, if the son is innocent, he will repent in the future, and personally ask his father and ancestor for sin, maybe he can redeem one or two." ”

Willing to humiliate herself, that is also Qin Ziruo's wishful thinking, but the princess and princess have to take care of the family style, the threshold of her family is indeed not low, it is not to let people die and beg for nothing, the implication is - the queen mother, your Qin family is too shameless at the moment, not to mention that your sister has suffered most grievances.
