When Emperor Ming Yuan heard this topic, he lost his energy and asked calmly: "What do you want?"
The queen sobbed, feeling extremely aggrieved and said, "I am married to you. I made mistakes in the past, but I have changed my ways. I am the master of the harem. If I don't make you the queen mother, what will happen to me?"
Living with face in this world?
Although the imperial concubine was the crown prince's mother-in-law, she always accepted the son halfway. After accepting the prince, she was promoted from the position of virtuous concubine to the imperial concubine. The concubine believed that naming her an imperial concubine was enough.
This is the supreme grace!”
After she finished speaking, seeing the displeasure on Emperor Ming Yuan's face, she hurriedly added, "According to the rules of our ancestors, my concubine should also be the empress dowager."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "Since according to the ancestral rules, you should be the empress dowager, then why are you asking so hard?
Can’t we just wait to hear the seal?”
The queen murmured: "I am not thinking that I was a bit... harsh to the prince and his wife in the past, and I am afraid that they will remember it in their hearts."
She said and started to cry again, "Your Majesty, you also know that I have no ulterior motives. The things I caused were all due to my unwillingness to cause mischief. I already know that I was wrong. Please help me to speak in front of the prince."
In other words, even if I take away my glory from my concubine, I still have to retain my position as the empress dowager. Otherwise, I will really have no face to see my ancestors.
Moreover, I am not doing it for myself, but also for Lao Ba. He will have to follow me in the future. If I am only granted the title of concubine, he will also be bullied in the palace in the future. Don’t you think so?
?”
Emperor Ming Yuan was extremely angry, "Who do you think Lao Wu is?
Can he bully Lao Ba?
It’s too late for him to hurt me. You are full of resentment. You are thinking all the time about who will harm you and who doesn’t want to see you. But you have never seen you treat others well. In my opinion, you should be made a concubine.
As for the position, you and Lao Ba go out of the palace together to join Lao Qi, so that they can take care of each other as brothers!"
The queen was so frightened that she knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. I am a queen, how can I leave the palace to live there?"
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyebrows were stern, "Aren't you afraid that Lao Ba will be bullied if he has no one to take care of him?
Sending him to Lao Qi's house, isn't this exactly what you want?
I have not seen that you have any repentance, so in order to avoid causing trouble to the Crown Princess in the future, I feel that this is what you should do."
Emperor Ming Yuan had not considered this at first, but now that the queen came to cry, he suddenly realized that if he left the palace in the future, she would be named the empress dowager, and she would be the legitimate mother of Lao Wu. If she wanted to become a monster, there would be no way.
No one can defeat her.
In the past, it was for the sake of Chu Shoufu that she had not abolished the empress. Now she would naturally not abolish the empress. Since she had not abolished the empress, she would have been named the empress dowager when Lao Wu ascended the throne. This was indeed an ancestral rule. She just had a guilty conscience.
, will be unnecessary.
Emperor Ming Yuan thought about it and felt that he had to find a way to eliminate this trouble for the Crown Princess and the Imperial Concubine.
When the queen heard what he said, her legs were already weak, she was crying, and she had nothing to say in defense. This made Emperor Ming Yuan upset and called Eunuch Mu Ru to ask her to go out.
The queen was unwilling to leave, but Eunuch Mu Ru tried to persuade her, saying that if she continued to make trouble, the emperor's condition would become worse, and the position of the empress dowager would really be unsafe. Only after saying this, she was willing to leave.
As soon as the queen left, Emperor Ming Yuan began to think about this matter.
The next day, he asked Eunuch Mu Ru to invite the chief minister of Chu to come into the palace. He had an idea in mind, but he had to say hello to the chief minister first.
After hearing this, the first assistant was very satisfied with this arrangement and said: "The emperor's decision is really good. I know very well what kind of character my daughter is. If she is in the harem, no one will be able to control her and cause trouble."
The harem cannot live in peace, and the crown prince and the imperial concubine have been wronged."
Emperor Ming Yuan said happily: "The first assistant is really kind to the Crown Princess. I really feel a little guilty. I caused you to be injured before. It's a shame that the Crown Princess took you to get treatment, otherwise I won't be able to feel at ease in this life."
The Chief Assistant said sternly: "Your Majesty, you must not say this. It is a shame for me. I have suffered this disaster, but I have gained something else. But everything is destined. I am living a good life now. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty."
Emperor Ming Yuan was very happy when he heard what he said. Looking at this old man who had devoted most of his life to the Northern Tang Dynasty, his eyes were slightly red, and many of his words were lost in the conversation between the emperor and his ministers.
After the first assistant left the palace, Emperor Ming Yuan issued a decree, allowing the queen and Concubine Di to move to the Royal East Garden, and allowed the eighth prince to visit occasionally, but he could not take the eighth prince with him to raise him.
This move seems to be very cruel, separating mother and son, but in fact Emperor Ming Yuan just did it for the sake of the eighth prince. Only by following the seventh prince and his wife can the eighth prince live a peaceful and contented life. If he followed the queen to Dongyuan, he would be punished.
She uses it to become a monster.
And it's not like mother and son are really separated. She wants to see her son, so she can ask Lao Qi to send him there to spend a few days together.
After the decree was issued, the queen burst into tears and made a scene, which was equivalent to being kicked out of the palace. She was afraid that she would not even be granted the title of concubine.
After two days of rioting, they were about to hit the wall and hang themselves. No one could stop her. Concubine Di personally went to tell Emperor Ming Yuan, but Emperor Ming Yuan ignored her. The chief minister knew about the queen's temper, so he didn't understand it, right?
If you really want to commit suicide, you won't even make a fuss. You can just hang yourself. Is there any need to make a fuss?
Her making such a fuss convinced Emperor Ming Yuan to firmly tell her that moving to Dongyuan was the right decision.
Sure enough, after Emperor Ming Yuan left her alone, she packed up her things obediently and took away the most valuable things in her palace.
Concubine Di followed her in accordance with the imperial decree, but Concubine Di was not reluctant. She was very happy. She knew very well that the harem had changed hands. If she wanted to live under someone else's roof, she might as well go to Dongyuan.
Prince Qi and his wife sent them there, and Yuan Yongyi said to her: "Actually, as long as you say sorry to the Crown Princess, the past grudges will disappear. She is a very generous person and will not care about it."
The queen said coldly: "Needless to say, I will not apologize to this junior."
After talking about this, Yuan Yongyi stopped trying to persuade her.
After sending them off, King Qi said to Yuan Yongyi on the way back: "Actually, it's better this way. If some things can disappear just because you're sorry, wouldn't you have wronged the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law?
Moreover, as for those things, there is no need to look back at right or wrong at this time. It would be best to have less contact with them in the future."
Yuan Yongyi thought about it for a while and felt that what Lao Qi said was right, so she felt relieved.
But Yuan Yongyi still told Yuan Qingling about this matter. After hearing this, Yuan Qingling was a little bit dumbfounded, "I said before that she worries too much, it's true. Who has the time to remember the past?
And my father also punished her."
As a queen, she planned a future for her legitimate son, and her methods were indeed a bit dirty. However, Yuan Qingling really didn't take it to heart, because the queen's methods were really... not something she thought highly of.
Moreover, the things the queen did really hurt only herself.
Yuan Qingling also informed Lao Wu about this matter. When Lao Wu heard this, he took a sip of cold water and said, "It's good to go to Dongyuan. You don't have to go to say hello in the future."
"Lao Wu didn't take this to heart at all. He was just touched by his father's feelings. His father really arranged everything for him.
