Chapter 233: More Important Than Her Princess
"If the emperor can ask you to tell the mourning family these words, he must be secretly guarding against the mourning family." It also means that she can't do anything by herself, otherwise she will be punished by the emperor.
But you can borrow the hand of others to thwart them.
Anyway, the Queen Mother now feels that Song Qian is not worthy of Ji Changye, and she has already found a suitable candidate for Ji Changye as a princess, which is Zhao Liuyin. However, Ji Changye didn't have any thoughts about her, so he had to make it himself.
But Xiao Xirou has now thought clearly, if Ji Changye is allowed to marry Song Qian, who has no ability, most of his power will be weakened, and maybe those who stood in his camp at the beginning will defect, so that Ji Changye will have no ability to threaten Ji Qirui at all, so she wishes that Ji Changye would marry Song Qian as a princess soon.
But in the face of the Queen Mother, she had no way to say what she was thinking, so she could only pretend to be embarrassed to excuse herself: "Queen Mother, now Your Majesty is on guard against concubines everywhere. I'm afraid that whatever the concubine says, His Majesty will think twice, and maybe he won't take the concubine's words to heart. Besides, looking at the appearance, Your Majesty is determined to make Song Qian the regent princess, if you want to stop it, I am afraid that you will openly act against Your Majesty, which will make Your Majesty unhappy, and things will definitely be reversed."
The power of the Zhao family should not be underestimated, and Xiao Xirou would not be stupid enough to let her help Ji Changye and threaten herself and the prince. Moreover, her family background is more than enough to become a crown princess, why should she be a little princess?
The Queen Mother heard Xiao Xirou's thoughts, but now she doesn't seem to let her get out of the way, after all, they have done such a thing together, how can they easily let go of each other's good chess pieces?
So the Queen Mother faintly threatened: "Now that you are the queen and in a high position, what you say and do, those people will not say anything if they are afraid that you are the queen. But in the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, you will be the queen mother, without any real power, what should you do then? Isn't it easy for those people to do what they want? Even if it is to let Your Majesty abolish your position as Queen Mother. At that time, the prince will not be able to save you."
Is she threatening herself?
Xiao Xirou didn't expect the Queen Mother to tear her face with herself, to the point of threatening each other, but what she said was very reasonable, not only in the future, but even now, the Queen Mother was powerful in the previous dynasty, and the position of the prince was not clear, and her position as queen was in jeopardy, and it was not so difficult for the Queen Mother to bring herself down.
So under the threat of Ming Huanghuang, Xiao Xirou could only grit her teeth and compromise: "What does the queen mother want to do?"
The Queen Mother showed a satisfied look, probably appreciating Xiao Xirou for knowing how to scrutinize.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, we can't startle the snake, in order not to reveal our identity, we also need a scapegoat......" The Queen Mother obviously has a better idea.
Xiao Xirou could only be sent by him.
At the same time, the Regent's Palace.
Because she hadn't seen Song Qian for a long time, after she came back, Yuan Bao never left, for fear that Song Qian would leave for so long.
Seeing that he was following behind Song Qian all the time, He Yujin stepped forward and persuaded him, "Yuanbao, isn't Song Niangzi back? And you can rest assured that you won't be away for such a long time. Mrs. Song still has a lot of things to do, so don't follow Mrs. Song and get in the way of her."
"Thank you, Ah Jin, I'll tell you." Song Qian was full of guilt for Yuanbao, but it was true that he always followed him like this, and it was more difficult for him to do things.
So he squatted down and persuaded Yuanbao: "Yuanbao, it was my mother's fault that I left for so long last time, and my mother swore that I would never leave Yuanbao easily, okay?" I hope Yuan Bao can forgive his mother."
"Yuanbao knows that his mother has her own tasks to do, so she is not angry with her mother, Yuanbao is just afraid that her mother will leave Yuanbao for so long, I really miss my mother during this time, but Ah Jin and Changfeng both told me that only in this way can my mother marry into the palace in a beautiful way. But my mother is so beautiful, and so smart and capable, why do I have to do this to marry into the palace?" Yuan Bao said.
This remark really made Song Qian not know how to answer Yuanbao for a while, after all, this matter seems really ridiculous, if you want them to live well in the imperial capital in the future
Some, without being pointed at by others, there is only this one way, otherwise Song Qian will not understand this approach.
Just when He Yujin and Song Qian didn't know how to explain to Yuanbao, he saw the dilemma between the two people, and obediently stopped dwelling on this matter, but asked another fatal question: "Mother, when are we going back to Sulou Town?" Or will we never go back when our mother becomes the princess?"
"The matter of ingots is not so absolute, as long as you want, my mother can find a way to take you back. But before that, I'm afraid we'll need to live in the Imperial Capital for a while." This question can be explained by Song Qian, but the explanation is not so clear. Because she didn't know if Ji Changye would want to return to Sulou Town.
Yuan Bao looked like he wanted to ask something, but He Yujin and Song Qian couldn't resist it, but fortunately, Ji Changye came back from the palace at this time.
Maybe he heard their conversation, so he said as if he was helping them out: "Yuanbao, the embroidery lady in the palace has arrived, didn't you promise me to measure the size?" Let Ah Jin take you there."
Song Qian was also worried that he was not here during this time, how should the two of them get along, but he didn't expect it to be good.
Because of Ji Changye's words, Yuan Bao gave up asking the question he had just raised, but took the initiative to take He Yu Ji to the front hall, and when he left, he told Song Qian with peace of mind: "Mother, you can't leave quietly by yourself, you must tell Yuan Bao."
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving, let's go." Song Qian comforted.
Only then did Yuan Bao leave with He Yujin completely relieved.
Ji Changye looked at this scene, and came to Song Qian apologetically and said, "This matter has wronged you and Yuanbao."
"The prince laughed, being able to keep the ingots safe and sound, this matter is nothing. Yuan Bao asked me just now, can we still go back to Sulou Town, and now this matter seems to be up to the prince." Who made her current status the princess of the palace? Every move is under the sight of others, and you can't be free, otherwise you will get into trouble.
Ji Changye sighed and replied, "Don't hide it from Mrs. Song, I've been thinking about this matter during this time. His Majesty wanted me to be able to return to the court, but I didn't, because so many years of shelving made it difficult to grasp something quickly, and once it was contaminated, it would be difficult to get out. You and Yuan Bao are innocent and shouldn't be involved, so I'll find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, at least to get you and Yuan Bao to a safe place." Stay away from this land of right and wrong. Look at the book
Song Qian looked at Ji Changye and found that his eyes were tired, he must have been tired of these things in the past few days, so he opened his mouth to ease the anxious atmosphere and said, "Lord Wang, this matter is a matter for the future no matter what, it is useless to talk about it now, and it will only increase the troubles if you think about it more. The top priority now is the big wedding, and there are still many things to work on, which should be discussed."
This is the first time she has experienced an ancient wedding, and in the past, she knew how complicated it was just by hearing about it, let alone letting her experience it herself, so she had to understand the process in advance to avoid mistakes and let others pick on them.
"I was just about to talk to Mrs. Song about these things. Your Majesty said that you don't have to worry about the dowry, and Your Majesty allowed Song Niangzi to marry in a phoenix crown, and the embroidery girl sent was waiting in front. As for the dowry and the big wedding banquet, I have arranged everything, so Mrs. Song doesn't have to worry."
She didn't have to do anything.
This made Song Qian very happy, but this was not the most important thing, so she hurriedly asked, "The prince misunderstood what I meant, I mean is there anything that needs to be paid attention to on the wedding day or the worship hall?" What are the customs? I don't understand this, I'm afraid something will go wrong that day,"
It turned out to be a worry about it.
After Ji Changye found out, he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Song, the palace will send a special grandmother to teach, don't worry." Don't say that Song Qian doesn't understand this, he doesn't understand that he still needs someone to teach.
"Well, then I'll be relieved." Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
After discussing these, the embroidery girl appeared to help Song Qian measure the size and prepare the wedding dress.
During this period, these embroidery girls kept praising Song Qian, and it seemed that they wanted to tie Song Qian's face.
She has not encountered such a situation yet, so she can only learn from the people in the plot she has seen, and reward them with silver taels, so that they do not have any crooked thoughts.
After measuring, Song Qian was about to leave the wing room to prepare food for the ingots, but he didn't expect to hear the conversation of the embroidery girls.
"She really flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix, from a village woman to a regent princess, how good it would be if I had this blessing." One of the embroiderers said.
The other hurriedly stopped her and said, "Be quiet, don't be heard by the one inside, or the princess will make you walk around without eating, and see if you still have the heart to say these words."
But this embroidery lady was very bold and did not be afraid to retort at all: "What are you afraid of? I saw it just now, she looks honest, even if she hears it, she still dares to sue me in front of the prince?" Is this pinching her as a soft persimmon?
Song Qian guessed her thoughts, and didn't go out now, but hid to hear what else she could say.
"And I heard that Your Majesty originally thought that her identity was not worthy of the prince, so he asked her to take care of the difficult Fifth Prince. She does have some means, otherwise how could the fifth prince listen to her? gave her a reward, and with her brilliance, she was barely worthy of the king." The embroidery lady said even more unscrupulously.
The others wanted to stop it, but when they heard this, they were intrigued and urged her to say more.
At this moment, Song Qian walked out, and they suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, and they all looked at Song Qian in fear, wondering if what they had just said was heard.
The embroidery lady headed by her was even more covered in cold sweat and bowed with a weak heart.
"Is the position of the embroidered lady very important in the palace?" Song Qian didn't reprimand them for the first time, but said these unmindful words.
Several people looked at each other, and one of them boldly replied, "Back to the princess, the palace people perform their own duties, all to serve the masters, so each department and position is equally important, there is no distinction between high and low."
"I see, I thought that my identity as an embroidery lady was so important in the palace, even more powerful than me, the princess." Song Qian walked up to the embroidery girl just now and said calmly.
This made the embroidery girl frightened, and immediately understood that what they had just said was all heard by Song Qian, so she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The princess forgives her sins, the slave said the wrong thing for a while, there is no disrespect."
