Eight hundred and twentieth chapters sister-in-law (a)
Here are the three most noble women in the Da Qi Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Yu, and the young Empress Xie.
Empress Dowager Li was supported by the palace maid and sat on the bed, Empress Dowager Yu sat peacefully on the chair beside the bed, and Xie Mingxi stood beside the bed.
The positions of the three people just form a triangle. They are opposite each other and have a subtle relationship.
The Empress Dowager Li has a hoarse voice, and she can only speak word by word, which is too laborious. The Empress Dowager Li does not want to show weakness and make a fool of herself in front of the Empress Dowager Yu, and deliberately tries to run against the Empress Dowager Yu, deliberately keeping silent.
.
Queen Mother Yu, who is such a powerful person, naturally did not take such methods into consideration and just sat there calmly.
Xie Mingxi wanted to watch a good show, so she would not say anything.
Then, the dormitory fell into silence.
The atmosphere was horribly dull, almost suffocating.
The maids who were waiting on the side all lowered their heads, wishing they could lower their heads to their chests. Even Zhi Lan and Yu Qiao felt short of breath and tight in the chest.
The two of them have been serving Empress Dowager Yu for several years. Empress Dowager Yu suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of Empress Dowager Li in her early years, but later she gradually gained the upper hand. In recent years, she has monopolized power and no one dared to challenge her power!
But these days, Empress Dowager Yu has almost never had the upper hand against the young Empress Xie. At this time, Empress Dowager Li's condition improved and she fell into a subtle and unspeakable dilemma...
One can imagine how Empress Dowager Yu felt after suffering such a big secret loss!
…
After an unknown amount of time, Empress Dowager Yu finally opened her mouth to break the silence: "Mrs. Xie, from now on the Ai family will come to Cining Palace every day. You will take over part of the palace affairs, and it is time for you to learn to take care of palace affairs."
Empress Dowager Li's body suddenly tensed up, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
What a sinister Queen Mother Yu!
I don't want her condition to improve, so I have to free my hands to torment her!
Xie Mingxi glanced at Empress Dowager Li reassuringly, then smiled at Empress Dowager Yu and said, "The Queen Mother expressed her kindness, and my daughter-in-law was deeply moved. She shouldn't have refused. However, the Queen Mother has become accustomed to my company recently and cannot leave her even for a day.
Filial piety is greater than heaven, as long as I can make the Queen Mother happy and her illness improve, I have no choice but to live up to the Queen Mother's kindness."
Empress Dowager Li squeezed out one word: "Yes!"
After a while, he squeezed out two words: "Stay."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said to Empress Dowager Li: "The Imperial Grandmother is still ill and cannot speak in a hurry. As long as the Imperial Grandmother does not dislike her grandson-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law will definitely stay with the Imperial Grandmother."
A trace of gloom flashed in Empress Dowager Yu's eyes, then she returned to normal, and sighed with a smile: "That's okay! You insist on staying in Cining Palace, it's up to you. However, outsiders don't know the reason, and they are afraid that rumors will spread.
Such as the Ai family monopolizing power and not allowing the queen to take charge."
The implication is that if there are rumors, Xie Mingxi should take the initiative to clarify them.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Those who are pure will themselves be pure. My mother has a broad mind and a noble character, so why should I be afraid of mere rumors."
She didn't even respond to Empress Dowager Yu's words.
As cunning as a ghost!
Empress Dowager Yu snorted again in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face: "What a broad-minded person with a noble character. The Ai family has heard a lot of flattery, but this sentence is particularly pleasing to the ears."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "When my daughter-in-law was studying at Lianchi Academy, she heard her mother praise her master with these words. Today she shamelessly copied it. It makes her mother smile, and my daughter-in-law feels happy."
When mentioning Lianchi Academy, Queen Mother Yu's expression softened a little, and she said with a smile: "Since Xianzhi went to Sichuan, Chen Yun became the deputy head of Lianchi Academy. In the past two years, Chen Yun has destroyed the academy.
Everything is well organized. It can be seen that Xian has a precise vision and has entrusted the right person."
The Chen Yun mentioned by Queen Mother Yu was none other than Master Ji.
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and she followed Queen Mother Yu's words and mentioned Gu Shanchang: "Master has now opened several Gu's academies in Shu. He is busy running around teaching girls to read and calligraphy. He does not mind the hard work at all."
Speaking of friends, a strange light flashed in Queen Mother Yu's eyes.
Xie Mingxi happened to turn her head to glance at Empress Dowager Li, but also missed the sudden appearance of Empress Dowager Yu.
…
After this day, Mrs. Yu indeed went to Cining Palace to "say hello" every day.
Xiao Yuhan had been worried for five or six days, but he did not hear the news that Queen Mother Yu and Queen Mother Li had turned against each other. Instead, it was reported that Queen Mother Yu stayed in Cining Palace for longer and longer.
Xiao Yuhan was shocked and went to Fulin Palace in the evening.
Xie Mingxi stayed in Cining Palace for another whole day and just returned to the palace. When she saw Xiao Yuhan coming, she stood up with a smile and greeted him: "The emperor's sister-in-law came just in time. I haven't had dinner yet, so the emperor's sister-in-law stayed with us.
Have a meal."
When Sheng Hong was the king of Shu, he was often busy all day without being seen. Now that he is sitting on the dragon chair, everything in the court is busy, and he often reviews memorials until midnight. Naturally, he has no time to go back to the palace to eat with Xie Mingxi.
Xiao Yuhan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Xie Mingxi saw Xiao Yuhan's concerns and said with a smile: "If you don't worry about Sister Fu, just ask someone to bring her here."
Xiao Yuhan smiled helplessly: "Sister Fu is still in Jiaofang Hall, and will have dinner with the Queen tonight." After a pause, he whispered: "These days, the Queen often calls Sister Fu Rong to accompany her."
As a grandmother, calling her granddaughter to accompany her and talk to her is a sign of love for her granddaughter.
As the Queen Mother, she invited Princess Duanyi to have a meal with her. This was her preference for the imperial granddaughter.
Even if he knew that Empress Dowager Yu was using his daughter to massage and manipulate him, Xiao Yuhan had no good way to deal with it.
Empress Dowager Yu used this trick in a frank manner.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. She would rather separate mother and daughter than bring A Luo into the capital, just to guard against Queen Mother Yu's move.
It's a pity that Sister Fu has been living in the palace, right under the nose of Empress Dowager Yu. She can't avoid it even if she wants to.
The worried look in Xiao Yuhan's eyes was obviously caused by this incident.
Xie Mingxi stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Yuhan's hand and lowered her voice: "Don't be impatient. With Sheng Hong and I here, the Queen Mother will not dare to act rashly."
Xiao Yuhan heard the promise he wanted and glanced at Xie Mingxi gratefully: "Thank you. From now on, Sister Fu will have to rely on the seventh uncle and the seventh aunt to take care of her."
"There is no need to say such unreasonable things between us." Xie Mingxi laughed in a low voice: "Sister Fu is one year older than A'luo. When A'luo enters the palace, the two sisters will grow up together.
They are no different than biological sisters."
Xiao Yuhan's nose was slightly sour.
Xie Mingxi was promising her that Sister Fu's identity as Princess Duanyi would never change.
Even if A Luo becomes the apple of the eyes of the empress and the most noble and proud princess in the Qi Dynasty in the future, no one would dare to insult Sister Fu who belittled her own father and killed her.
"Seventh younger brother and sister..."
As soon as the three words were spoken, Xiao Yuhan was choked with sobs.
