When it comes to understanding people's hearts, no one can compare with Xie Mingxi.
Emperor Jianwen was hateful in every possible way, but he was dead after all. Everything that made people hate him so much gradually faded away, and what remained in Queen Yu's heart was Emperor Jianwen's deep love.
Furthermore, Empress Yu also felt guilty towards Emperor Jianwen, and she would protect Emperor Jianwen's "innocent" name after his death.
By stepping forward at this time, she not only complied with Queen Yu's wishes, but also sold the favor of the future Queen Xiao Yuhan and her Xiao family. It was killing two birds with one stone!
Sure enough, Xiao Yuhan glanced at Xie Mingxi gratefully.
Sure enough, Queen Yu made a decision in just a moment: "The Song family was talking and laughing uncontrollably while kneeling, and was disrespectful to the late emperor. I will give her thirty punishments with a cane and drive her out of the palace."
"The rest of the female relatives will slap their mouths twenty times on their own to serve as a warning to others."
"No one is allowed to tell outsiders about what happened today. If there is even a hint of rumors outside..."
Having said this, Queen Yu paused for a moment, her cold eyes lightly scanned the faces of the female relatives, and her tone revealed a hint of coldness and solemnity: "When the time comes, no one will be able to save your lives."
The female family members trembled and knelt down to thank him.
Even the Song family secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although it was quite embarrassing to be kicked out of the palace, it was better to be embarrassed than to lose one's life.
Princess Changping was filled with dissatisfaction. She stood up straight and whispered urgently: "Mother, this Song family has insulted the reputation of my father, how can I spare her so easily..."
She worked hard to set up this game. What she wanted was the Song family's life, what she wanted was the disgrace of the Xiao family, and what she wanted was the disgrace of the East Palace.
Why did the Queen Mother suddenly become so soft-hearted?
Queen Yu glanced at Princess Changping.
Princess Changping tightened her lips and swallowed all her reluctance and anger. A gloomy look passed over Xie Mingxi's face.
…
Song was dragged out and beaten thirty times, and then sent back to Xiao's house.
The other female family members each slapped their mouths twenty times and slapped their faces until their faces were red and swollen. They returned to the mourning hall in silence and dejection. All the female family members who had been ordered to see this were shocked and frightened in their hearts. No one dared to say anything or ask any questions.
A storm turned into nothingness.
However, the torrent beneath the calm surface is surging and frightening.
That night, Queen Yu was too tired and temporarily left the mourning hall and returned to her dormitory to rest.
Princess Changping was worried about Queen Yu and wanted to go with her. When she caught sight of Xiao Yuhan from the corner of her eye, she immediately changed her mind and suddenly said: "Third brothers and sisters, my mother has been working hard these past few days and is exhausted. She went back to the dormitory alone. It's really
It’s very reassuring. I’ll kneel down here, and how about the three younger siblings going to accompany their mother?”
He said it was a discussion, but his tone was just like an order.
If she agrees like this, what status will she have in the palace in the future?
Xiao Yuhan's sullenness, which he had held in for half a day, reached its peak. He responded calmly: "The person the Queen Mother wants to see must be the Imperial Sister. The Imperial Sister cannot worry about the Queen Mother, so she just goes to accompany the Queen Mother. I will stay in the mourning hall."
Princess Changping: "..."
What a Xiao Yuhan!
This is because he is confident that he will sit on the phoenix chair, and his tone and attitude are much tougher than before!
Princess Changping looked over coldly.
Xiao Yuhan knelt and straightened his back, looking back coldly.
A cold wind blew from nowhere outside the mourning hall, and a bit of cold air rushed in from outside the door.
The candlelight flickered constantly, with varying brightness. Princess Changping's charming and bright face was cold and solemn, and a shadow also fell on Xiao Yuhan's gentle and elegant cheeks.
The kneeling female relatives could not help but raise their eyes and look at this shocking confrontation.
One is the eldest princess of Da Qi who relies on Queen Yu, and the other is the crown prince of Da Qi. This is a power struggle in the palace, and a competition between old and new forces.
Zhao Changqing turned his eyes and remained silent.
Li Xiangru sneered in his heart.
When the third prince and the fourth prince were competing for the throne, Queen Yu, Princess Changping and her daughter praised Xiao Yuhan everywhere. What happens now? Isn’t it dog bites dog?
"How many years is the emperor's elder sister?" Li Xiangru opened her mouth at the right time to "smooth things over": "The third emperor's sister-in-law will listen to the emperor's sister and go to the dormitory to accompany the mother! This is also the filial piety of the third emperor's sister-in-law."
This is to avoid chaos in the world!
Yin Xiaoxiao was quite dissatisfied and said: "If you want to show your filial piety, why do you have to ask the Third Emperor's Wife to go? I'll just go."
After saying that, he stood up.
Even Princess Changping couldn't say anything like "What are you going to do?" at this moment. She watched Yin Xiaoxiao walking out, feeling furious in her heart.
Xie Mingxi originally lowered her head and closed her eyes to fall asleep while she was kneeling, but due to Princess Changping's fuss, she lost her sleep. She simply raised her head to watch the excitement.
Before Yin Xiaoxiao walked out of the mourning hall, Zhilan, a female official dressed in plain clothes, stepped in and bowed respectfully: "The Queen has an order, please invite the Seventh Prince and Concubine to go to the dormitory."
Everyone: "..."
Come on, no one should argue. Everyone must listen to Queen Yu!
Yin Xiaoxiao turned around slightly and knelt down beside Xiao Yuhan.
Xie Mingxi was also a little surprised, but she didn't show it. She stood up calmly. No one could see the slightest difference on her face.
Everyone watched Xie Mingxi's figure leave the mourning hall, and then turned their heads. While turning their heads, they could not help but exchange glances.
It’s really strange, why did Empress Yu summon only the seventh prince’s concubine?
Isn't that right? It's either Princess Changping or the Crown Princess, or even worse, there are the Second Prince's Concubine and others in front of the queue. Why can't it be the Seventh Prince's Concubine's turn!
…
Xie Mingxi walked into the dormitory unhurriedly.
Queen Yu lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
"My daughter-in-law has met my mother." Xie Mingxi walked six feet away from the bed, stopped moving forward, and bowed.
Queen Yu seemed as if she hadn't heard anything.
Xie Mingxi maintained her saluting posture for a moment, then stood up straight and asked with concern: "Why did the queen call her daughter-in-law here?"
Queen Yu opened her eyes, sat up straight on the bed, and twitched her lips sarcastically: "Among the daughters-in-law, you are the most considerate and the best at guessing my thoughts. Why don't you take a guess now?
, why did I summon you here?"
hehe!
What can happen?
It wasn't because she interceded for the Song family and saved Xiao Yuhan's face that Empress Yu felt unhappy and came to look for trouble.
Xie Mingxi responded with a sincere look: "My daughter-in-law is stupid, how dare she try to guess Queen Tara's thoughts in vain."
Queen Yu sneered: "You are too self-effacing. If you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the world."
On weekdays, she deliberately pretends to be low-key, but when she strikes, she is quick and accurate. She is much more powerful than Xiao Yuhan, Li Xiangru and others. Even Princess Changping is inferior to her in terms of city government and scheming.
If Xie Mingxi fully helps Xiao Yuhan... it will undoubtedly be a big help and a thorn in her side.
Xie Mingxi continued to respond humbly and sincerely: "My mother praised me so highly, and my daughter-in-law had no choice but to accept it with shame."
