"Why is the child crying? Ah, what should I do..." the concubine said in embarrassment and handed the child to someone else.
The Queen Mother was displeased: "Why did you make the child cry? I'll give it a hug."
Just when she was about to reach out and hug the child, she rushed over at nightfall, took the child into her arms first, and whispered comforting words.
When the child saw his mother, he no longer struggled, but became even more aggrieved, crying with a small face.
After comforting her for a while, the child slowly calmed down, clutching her chest and burying her little head in her arms. She seemed a little tired.
The Empress Dowager said: "The child is also tired, so he will stay in the palace to rest. You can go back first."
Into the night said: "The child is the flesh of the mother. Wherever the mother goes, the child will go."
The Empress Dowager's face sank and she said displeasedly: "Then just stay in the palace with your child. I will send someone to the palace to tell you."
At night, he lowers his head to coax the children: "We have a family, and we are not used to staying outside."
The Empress Dowager's face dropped: "You mean, this palace is not your home?"
"Public women dare not treat the palace as their own home"
The Empress Dowager said: "If you can't live with me, then live with me. I have something to tell you. The Ai family likes this child very much. They want Concubine Rong to adopt her as their adopted son. This is a good thing for the child and for you. You
Do you have any objections?"
In the evening, she hugged the child tightly and raised her head, with a hint of cold persistence on her face: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. The child already has a mother. The child only needs one mother."
The Empress Dowager finally got angry and slapped the table with her palms a little harder: "You child, why are you so ignorant? We want this child to be a prince, but to give you face, otherwise, based on your current status, the child will follow you.
It’s just a joke.”
Rui Ye was not angry, and just said calmly: "It's good that the child is following me. He can't do it without me."
The Queen Mother's fingers were trembling slightly: "You, you... you, you ignorant child..."
At nightfall, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed to her and the queen and said, "It's getting late, so the daughter of the people will leave first."
She just walked out calmly and without any hesitation, holding the child in her arms, leaving behind a bunch of stunned women.
She decided that she would never see these women again or let her children be tortured by them.
She doesn't want to kneel down to anyone, and she doesn't want to be manipulated by anyone. If this is the price that Madam Zuo Ye must pay, then she doesn't want the title Madam Ye.
The hall was quiet. He rejected the Empress Dowager so directly and left so neatly. This was unique in the palace compound. This woman seemed to have no hierarchy in her eyes.
The Empress Dowager's fingers were still trembling slightly. This folk woman was too... too ungrateful. Based on her attitude, she could be punished with the death penalty for lese majeste.
The queen spoke: "This woman doesn't know etiquette, is disrespectful towards others, and is inconsistent with others. It is really difficult for her to be a decent person."
The other concubines also spoke: "That's right, no wonder I gave birth to a son, not even a side wife."
"Having such a woman beside King Yuying is really embarrassing for the prince."
"I think we should find a princess for King Yuying to prevent the prince from being laughed at."
