Promise

Promise

"Yanran, tell me, why do I have such a mother?"

Queen Gongsun looked at the half-open door and sighed for a long time.

In the past, she only felt that her mother was not considerate enough in her words and actions, but she did not expect that since she became the queen, her mother seemed to be possessed by a demon, and today she would actually say that she could choose any of the three nieces in the family.

Does her job mean that she must marry a daughter of the Gongsun family?

Yanran was the maid chosen by the queen from the imperial kitchen. Not only did she make good meals, but she also liked what she said and did. After Taohongliulu got married, Yanran became the most considerate maid around the queen.

Hearing this, Yanran stepped forward and gently rubbed the queen's shoulders: "Is the empress thoughtful?"

Before the Queen could speak, Yan Ran continued, "If it is inconvenient for the Queen to talk to this servant, then the Queen can talk to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has grown up and can now supervise the country for the Emperor, and the Queen does not need to treat him as a child."

Let’s look at it. My son is always easier to trust than others.”

Yanran's words did not move Gongsun Wanying. She sighed lightly: "You don't understand, Xing'er is still young."

There are some things that she can't say even to her son.

"If your Majesty doesn't want to say it, then don't say it."

Yanran's fingers deftly pressed the queen's neck and shoulders, "By the way, the little princess went to see Princess Anle early in the morning and said she wanted to learn embroidery from her aunt. I have to say that Princess Anle's embroidery skills are getting better and better.

Your Majesty, the embroiderers you hired for her are all full of praises."

"That child Yuanyuan is really good."

The queen twisted her neck, "If Ming'er wants to go from now on, don't stop her, just let Youran follow."

"Yes, this slave knows."

Yanran agreed and continued, "Yesterday was also a coincidence. When Madam entered the palace, she happened to meet Princess Anle and the little princess. Madam also asked the servant, did Princess Anle take a fancy to them?"

Gongsun Wanying suddenly asked: "What did you say?"

"The slave said that the princess is still young, and the Queen Mother and the Queen still want to keep the princess in the palace for a few more years. But..."

Yanran paused for a moment before continuing, "But I heard the lady murmur that the youngest son of my natal brother is already here, and he is just the right age."

"Bang."

Gongsun Wanying slammed the teacup she had just received on the table, and after a long time she slowly exhaled, "It's okay if you have heard this. My mother is a kind-hearted person and likes children."

"My slave understands."

"Just understand."

Empress Gongsun felt as if someone had stuffed a ball of hay in her heart, blocking and pricking her heart. As long as there was a fire, it would burn brightly immediately.

The mother only wanted to marry her niece to Xing'er, and she wanted to make Gongsun's house have another queen. She had never thought about letting Xing'er marry her mother's niece. But the niece was only eight years old, five years younger than Xing'er.

He was not very smart, so of course she was not satisfied.

Now my mother has her mind set on Yuanyuan again, and she actually wants to marry a princess to her natal family.

It's simply a fantasy and a dream.

Not to mention whether grandma has an outstanding son who can match the princess. Even if she does, the lintel is a bit low. Yuanyuan is really wronged by marrying the princess.

Yuanyuan is only one year older than Xing'er, and the queen has watched her grow up. Yuanyuan's marriage can only be decided by the queen mother. Since the queen mother is still here, how can she, a sister-in-law, have the right to tell her husband's family to her sister-in-law.

Now, Gongsun Wanying really regretted why she was obsessed with inviting her mother into the palace.

This is not to talk to her, but to cause trouble for her.

The queen personally sent someone to invite Mrs. Gongsun to the palace. She was just a little depressed and wanted to talk to the people closest to her. Her son and daughter were still young, and her grandfather was too smart. If she accidentally said the wrong thing, she might be killed.

The news will be leaked that the emperor is dead and the person pretending to be the emperor is Princess Changle.

No matter how stupid Gongsun Wanying is, she still knows that if this news is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Xing'er is already thirteen, and at this age, he is either too old or too young.

It would be better to wait a few more years, when Xing'er is older, and then she can have a good talk with Xiang Ge and ask her to give up the throne.

Now, Xiang Ge must be allowed to gradually delegate power to Xing'er. Xing'er has grown up, so Xing'er should have some power.

But Gongsun Wanying still hasn't figured out how to tell Lu Sheige.

Don't worry, let her think about it carefully and find a better excuse. For example, Xing'er likes to march and fight. A few days ago, Xing'er wanted to go to Xirong. It seems too direct to ask the emperor to hand over the Ministry of War to Xing'er.

Okay, what about letting Xing'er go to the Ministry of War for training?

Is it okay?

Seeing that the queen was deep in thought, the movements of Yanran's hands behind her became gentler and gentler.

Yanran always remembered what the Queen Mother said to her after she entered the palace, telling her to remember her duty and take good care of the Queen. The most important thing was that she should take good care of the Queen and not let her make mistakes.

It took Yanran more than five years to go from the imperial kitchen to entering the Jiaofang Palace. In the past few years, she followed the queen and devoted herself to her duties as a loyal palace maid.

The Queen is a nice person. Although she is not a very smart woman, she is also intrinsically kind. There is only one Lu Zhaoyi in the palace who is quiet and does not even leave the palace gate. The Queen and Lu Zhaoyi have always been at odds with each other.

.There are no other messy women in the palace, which makes the queen's temperament much simpler.

Yanran has been doing her duty as the eldest maid of the Jiaofang Palace. The Queen Mother has not sent anyone to look for her, nor has she sent any messages to the Queen Mother without permission.

However, in the past few days, the queen had obviously had something on her mind, and Mrs. Gongsun had entered the palace three times in a row, which made Yan Ran feel better.

Do you want to go and remind the Queen Mother? From what the Queen and Mrs. Gongsun said, the Queen seemed a little dissatisfied with the Emperor.

Why is the Queen dissatisfied with the Emperor? The relationship between the Emperor and the Queen has been very weak in recent years. The Emperor rarely comes to the Queen, but he also gives the Queen the respect she deserves.

If it were just like this, Yanran wouldn't be surprised.

As for the Emperor, it's normal to like Lu Zhaoyi if he doesn't like the Queen. So what about the Queen, even if the Queen doesn't like the Emperor, she shouldn't be so cold to the Emperor.

These two people don't look like a couple at all, but rather they respect each other like ice.

The wind outside blew through the window sill, raising and lowering the smoky blue curtains. The two people in the room, each with their own thoughts, did not hear the sound of Chen Luxing quietly opening the back door and leaving.

Chen Lu walked to the courtyard wall and waited for Lei Ming to lift him over the wall.

In his mind, he quickly integrated and decomposed the words he heard. His mother was dissatisfied with his father, and Yanran around his mother was pretty good.

The grandmother wanted to marry her cousin to him, and the grandmother also wanted to propose marriage to the little aunt, and wanted to betroth the little aunt to her natal family.

Nothing else is important. What is important is why the queen mother is dissatisfied with her father?

Chen Luxing frowned. What did his father do that made his mother so dissatisfied that he even invited his grandmother into the palace?
