"What a joke, who dares to hit the emperor in the face?" Shu Rumei smiled sarcastically, crying with sarcasm and speaking without thinking. "The emperor is the king of a country!"
"But didn't the Queen Mother just slap the Emperor today?" Xi Honglei sat down and looked at Shu Rumei with slightly narrowed eyes. She looked back at Shu Rumei because of her words.
Xi Honglei pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The Queen Mother does not need to be nervous, because even if the Queen Mother hits her, the Emperor will not feel pain, and he does not dare to feel pain."
"What do you mean by this? Do you want to slander the Ai family?!" Shu Rumei asked sharply.
"How dare I slander the Queen Mother? I just want to talk to the Queen Mother about what's in my heart. If the Queen Mother doesn't want to hear it, there's nothing I can do about it." Xi Honglei shook her head regretfully and sighed softly.
Shu Rumei looked at Xi Hong's tearful expression, snorted coldly and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Queen Mother, today the ministers forced the Emperor to establish a queen, some things need not be said so clearly. Whether this matter has anything to do with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother should know very well." Xi Honglei said slowly, looking at Shu
Rumei was anxious to refute her words, but Xi Honglei did not give her a chance and continued: "If the ministers did not have the Queen Mother as their backer, no matter how bold they were, they would never dare to force the emperor like that. The emperor today
To put it nicely, it was a bit reckless and impulsive. But to put it badly, it was because the ministers were forcing them to speak indiscriminately! Otherwise, how could someone like me, who couldn’t put it on the stage, speak out?
"
Shu Rumei looked at Xi Honglei silently, knowing full well what she had guessed. Shu Rumei had to admit that Xi Honglei was very smart, the smartest one among the women she had ever seen. If possible, Shu Rumei
Mei also wanted to draw Xi Honglei to her side, but unfortunately, Xi Honglei was not an obedient and sensible person.
The smarter Xi Honglei becomes now, the more worried Shu Rumei becomes. Keeping such a person who can see through her thoughts in the palace will not do her any good.
"Queen Mother, you must not have forgotten the purpose of my coming back this time. I came back for revenge, not to enjoy happiness, so there is no need for the Queen Mother to pursue me so closely. As long as I kill Mu Yunmeng and take revenge.
, even if the Queen Mother doesn’t want me to stay in the palace, it’s okay.”
"Are you willing to leave?" Shu Rumei said nothing to Honglei, who was so easy to talk to.
"I have indeed thought better of it, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in the palace. There are so many princes and ministers outside the palace, and the Queen Mother can just point me to a place to stay at will. Isn't it okay? Prince Nanjun has not gotten married yet, so he can't
Is there any reason why he is so close to women? Do you need to let me go to his house and take care of Prince Nan for a while first? "
Xi Honglei's words made Shu Rumei's slightly better expression turn gloomy again. No matter how you say it, Shu Rumei is a high-ranking queen mother. In addition, she comes from a famous family, so naturally she can't get used to hearing Xi Honglei's words.
Such cryptic words. She secretly cursed Xi Honglei in her heart as "an ignorant bitch", and Shu Rumei said: "Even if the Ai family is willing to betroth you to Prince Nanjun, the Prince of Nanjun will not want you.
It’s a problem.”
"Honglei just wants to find a place to stay with the child. The Queen Mother can give me to the prince as a maid. The prince's house is so big, why wouldn't she be willing to give us, mother and son, an extra bite of food?"
Xi Honglei deliberately told Ran Yunhao because she had not forgotten Jin Yu's words. Jin Yu said that Ran Yunhao had appeared in Xixi's country, and he was still with Qiu Shitian. Then that matter would not have happened with Qiu Shitian.
He can get away with it! As long as there are people involved, no matter who they are, she doesn't want to let anyone go! She must avenge Lin Wanru and Hua'er with her own hands in order to feel at ease.
"Queen Mother, actually sometimes, the tighter you hold the sand in your hand, the faster it will drain away. The Emperor is no longer a child. Even if the Emperor doesn't say something, he may not have thought of it in his heart. You are mother and son, really
It would be bad if there is a estrangement because of some trivial things. Queen Mother, do you think what Hong Lei said is right?"
Xi Honglei comforted Shu Rumei in a soft voice and talked to her. The two of them talked to each other in the room for almost an hour before Shu Rumei let Xi Honglei go.
, allowing Xi Honglei to leave.
When Xi Honglei walked out of Shu Rumei's residence, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if she had experienced a great disaster. Just because Shu Rumei let her go today does not mean that he already trusts her. In the future, such little
Making things difficult will only be more, not less. If it has to be so thrilling every time, then her future life will not be any easier...
Xi Hongtear left, and Shu Rumei fell into deep thought.
Xi Honglei's sharp tongue gave Shu Rumei a headache. Even Xi Yuanshan and Lin Wanru together could not speak as well as Xi Honglei alone. I really don't know what happened to these two people.
It's a good thing that Xi Honglei has been stupid for so many years to give birth to such a daughter. Otherwise, if she had been like this all the time, her hair would have been much grayer.
Xi Honglei's words today were obviously reminding Shu Rumei not to push Ran Yunpo too hard.
Shu Rumei also knew some things, and she understood some truths better than anyone else. However, the urgency of the matter forced her to do this.
Shu Rumei has never denied that she is a profit-driven person. She has paid too much for herself to be able to get to where she is today and sit in the position she is today. She hates that she is a daughter and hates that she cannot be an official in the government and cannot hold hands.
Real power. After fighting for so long in the harem and losing two children, only Ran Yunpo was left.
Shu Rumei now has no one to rely on except Ran Yunpo. Women cannot be officials and cannot rule the world. This is an unchangeable fact. No matter how hard she tries, she can only operate some things secretly. So Shu Rumei can only watch.
Looking at Ran Yunpo, she became anxious when she started not to listen to her words.
If Ran Yunpo really gets back together with Xi Honglei, then Xi Honglei will definitely say something in Ran Yunpo's ears. Shu Rumei can see that Xi Honglei is the same person as her. Xi Honglei's city and
The scheming is even a bit more powerful than hers. How could Shu Rumei not worry about leaving such a woman by Ran Yunpo's side? With a strategist like Xi Honglei here, wouldn't Ran Yunpo become even more disobedient to him?
arrangements?
But...if the words are spoken again, if Ran Yunpo really insists on leaving Xi Honglei behind, what should she do?
Shu Rumei thought about it and finally thought of a way. She had to find something to contain Xi Honglei, and she had to give Xi Honglei something to be afraid of...
Xi Honglei returned to Jialingyuan without any hindrance. After seeing Chen'er, her heart finally settled. She threw the medicine Shu Rumei gave her directly into the drawer, and Xi Honglei didn't even look at it again.
After taking a look, he took Chen'er to sit somewhere else.
Xi Honglei lived comfortably and leisurely for three days in a row. But on the fourth day, Ran Yunpo called her away again.
Xi Honglei reluctantly left the door and followed Ran Yunpo's people. Chen'er stood at the door eagerly, watching Xi Honglei's retreating back. She pursed her mouth pitifully and said nothing.
After Xi Honglei left, Xi Zichen was playing alone in the yard. After a while, Qiu Shitian and Jinyu also came out of the house.
"Chen'er, where is your mother?" Jinyu looked around, but did not see Xi Honglei.
"Mother was taken away." Chen'er frowned and looked at Jinyu. Without saying anything, he lowered his head again and played with himself. But after a while, Xi Honglei came back.
Xi Honglei came back so fast that Chen'er didn't expect it. He happily rushed over and let Xi Honglei hug him.
"Mom, the weather is nice today, can you please take Chen'er out to play?"
"Okay." Upon hearing Chen'er's words, Xi Honglei nodded immediately without thinking. "Mom will take you out right now."
Chen'er didn't expect that Xi Honglei would agree so happily. He grinned, hugged Xi Honglei's neck and leaned on Xi Honglei's shoulder. But before Xi Honglei took two steps, Chen'er came again.
He opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "Wait! Wait!"
Chen'er suddenly shouted out, causing Xi Honglei's footsteps to stop involuntarily, and also causing Jinyu and Qiu Shitian over there to look here in confusion.
"What's wrong with Chen'er?" Xi Honglei looked at Xi Zichen and asked with a frown.
"I..." Chen'er looked at Xi Honglei intently. After a while, she struggled to get off the ground. "I need to pee!"
Chen'er's words made several people laugh. Xi Honglei bent down and put Chen'er down, smiling and motioning for him to go back quickly, but Chen'er still stood in front of her in a daze, looking up.
She didn't move anywhere.
"What's wrong? I don't want to think about it anymore?" Xi Honglei said helplessly: "Can I take you to another place?"
Chen'er looked at Xi Honglei's extended hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Mom, squat down. Chen'er has something to tell you."
Xi Honglei nodded, knelt down, pinched Chen'er's face with a smile, and Xi Honglei asked softly: "What do Chen'er want to tell mother?"
"Mother." Chen'er came close to Xi Honglei, leaned in her ear, and whispered: "Master, when you just left, you wanted to beat Chen'er. Chen'er is afraid of him, mother, help Chen'er scold him, okay...
…”
Chen'er's words made Xi Honglei's eyes flash and she looked towards Qiu Shitian. Qiu Shitian saw Xi Honglei suddenly turn her eyes towards him, and was a little confused as to what she meant.
"Chen'er, be good. Mom will take you out to play first, and then you can take care of your master when you come back, okay?" Xi Honglei withdrew her gaze and asked Chen'er.
"No." Chen'er rejected Xi Honglei directly, then unexpectedly grabbed one of Xi Honglei's arms and bit it hard.
