Whoever dares to act presumptuously in front of the Queen Mother, even the emperor will try his best to maintain the superficial peace and maintain the appearance of a filial son.
The Queen Mother's words made Dongfang Ye's face darken. The Emperor quickly gave Dongfang Ye a look to signal him to calm down. He was really afraid that Dongfang Ye would humiliate the Queen Mother in front of her and there would be a big fuss.
.
However, no one expected that the person who did not show respect to the Queen Mother in person would be Liu Yun, who seemed to be knowledgeable and reasonable.
She covered her face with her sleeves and said with a chuckle: "What should we do? Now my young prince will be a person who breaks his word. If he is such a person, the emperor will not dare to use him again.
Is he dead?"
Everyone was startled, especially the Queen Mother, who had doubts in her eyes.
"Oh? How should I say this?" The emperor asked immediately, obviously very interested in Liu Yun's answer.
"Your Majesty may not know that my young Marquis is a man of great love and righteousness. He promised me to only marry one wife when we got married. Now that the Queen Mother is making such a request, I'm afraid that my young Marquis will not be disobedient. But if
By obeying the Queen Mother's wishes, wouldn't it mean that you have lost your integrity towards me? I want to ask, does the Emperor dare to reuse such a dishonest person?" Liu Yun frowned, as if he had really encountered a huge problem, Liu Li said.
There was sadness in his eyes.
These words were insulted by the Queen Mother in person. Although the rejection was subtle and cryptic, the meaning of the words was immediately clear to everyone present.
"What do you mean by this? Are you saying that the Queen Mother of the Aijia is forcing others to do something difficult?" The Queen Mother was angered. A humble businesswoman dared to be so presumptuous. The Queen Mother felt really embarrassed.
Yang Xin also immediately raised her chest, as if she was speaking for the Queen Mother: "You are a cunning man, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother, do you really not know where this place is?"
"This is the imperial study, the emperor's territory. I naturally know it." Liu Yun replied calmly, "I am just telling the truth. If there is anything that offends the Queen Mother, please forgive me. But I have always heard about it.
The emperor likes people who keep their word, and hates others who break their word. Although I am of low status, breaking one's trust does not depend on that person's status, does it?"
What she said was precise and hit the mark, and the Queen Mother was shocked and speechless again.
"Your Majesty, please tell me whether you will grant this marriage or not." In the end, the Queen Mother had to put on airs and asked the Emperor to give an answer. She did not believe that the Emperor would embarrass her in front of so many people.
Emperor Ling turned his head and looked at the Queen Mother. He had gone to the Queen Mother's palace when he was very young. She was not a competent queen mother, but at least she had never treated him badly. Later, he thought that maybe it was because of his status as the prince.
Let him occasionally get a touch of warmth. He has always known that the royal family has no family ties. The competition for the throne among the princes after he became an adult made him see this more clearly. The cold eyes of the Queen Mother also chilled him. He often thought if it was his
If his biological mother is still here, maybe he won't be so lonely in those years. Fighting alone is actually really hard.
After he sat on the throne, the Queen Mother did not stop. She held the power of the harem, regarded herself as the Queen Mother's adoptive mother, and supported the people of the Yang family to rise to power. These emperors were all aware of this, but he turned a blind eye.
Let her do what she wants, because at least she has nurtured him and made him develop the habit of not relying on anyone.
It's just that he forgot that people's hearts are greedy. When she is under one person, she will even want to climb to a higher position. The Yang family has gained power, but it has not satisfied her desire for power. She is the queen mother, and the Yang family is noble.
The emperor's maternal family still did not satisfy her. This kind of Empress Dowager Yang had made the emperor feel disgusted.
No one likes a greedy person, even if the person is his or her adoptive mother.
"Does Queen Mother also want me to become an emperor who talks nonsense?" The emperor said indifferently, "I once promised Ah Ye that as long as he does not take a concubine voluntarily, I will only allow him to marry one wife."
The emperor did not say it for sure, but for the queen mother, it was a slap in the face.
He actually disobeyed her in front of everyone.
"You..." The Queen Mother's eyes widened in disbelief. She still regarded the Emperor as the obedient Crown Prince, and still regarded him as the puppet emperor who could not regain power even after he ascended the throne.
"Come here, the Queen Mother is unwell and needs to return to the palace for recuperation." No one expected that it would be the Emperor who finally attacked the Queen Mother.
The development of the matter was really beyond everyone's expectation. Even Dongfang Ye, who knew the emperor somewhat, never thought that the emperor would fall out with the queen mother because of this incident. He silently thought about when his value would change.
He was so high that he could actually make the emperor and the queen mother fall out.
"How dare you do this to the Ai family?" The Queen Mother did not believe that the emperor would treat her like this. She always thought that the emperor needed the support of the Yang family, especially now that the Yang family has made such a great contribution. Who knows that the emperor now trusts Yang?
Family, how could he attack her, Queen Mother Yang, at this time?
However, many things are so weird. The emperor did not favor the Queen Mother, but instead helped an unknown little person. Concubine Xue's eyes flickered, and she looked at Liu Yun with more hatred in her eyes. Liu Yun
She noticed it when her eyes swept over her, but she still didn't understand the reason why Concubine Xue targeted her was just because of Yang Xin?
The emperor's confidant father-in-law called a maid to help the Queen Mother back to the palace. The Queen Mother's face turned green with anger. Concubine Xue and Yang Xin wanted to accompany her back, but she waved her hands and said no, and then Queen Mother Yang went back to the palace alone.
"Xin'er, you are the niece of the Queen Mother. I have always loved you very much, but this time you have made too much trouble. If someone with intentions spreads it out, even the Queen Mother will protect you if you play your father's book.
I can't help you Yang family." The emperor narrowed his eyes to scare her, "You should also know that the direction of the court is changing rapidly. Today you are a favored minister who is in glory, but you may become a prisoner tomorrow. If you want to live peacefully in the future,
You'd better calm down."
Yang Xin was still kneeling on the ground, her legs weak and trembling due to the emperor's words.
"This matter of marrying Aye is over. No one is allowed to mention it again. If I know that you still have this thought, I will let your father choose a marriage for you and marry you far away.
, I will never be able to shake my heart, do you understand?" It is really not graceful for a majestic emperor to scare a little girl, but this Ling Emperor seems to be very familiar with doing this kind of thing, and he is sure that she is a little girl and is timid and dare not refute,
"Yes, Xin'er remembered." Yang Xin finally stood up with the help of Concubine Xue, but her body was still trembling slightly, but she didn't know whether she was trembling with fear or anger.
"And you, don't mess up the harem all day long, go down." Impatiently waving his hands, Xue Guifei and Yang Xin had no choice but to leave angrily.
After they left, the emperor's airs immediately relaxed and he looked at Liu Yun jokingly: "Girl, I'm just venting my anger on you."
Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. Is the Emperor's kindness to Liu Yun... a bit too much?
