Chapter 285 I'm Almost Angry
Chapter 285 I'm Almost Angry
"No need to bow, Auntie Huang. You are my elder, so just sit down."
The Empress Dowager at the side also said, "Since Qi'er has said this, Yuanshi, you should stop being so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Yueqi saluted to the Empress Dowager, stood up, sat beside her and looked at Xianxian with curiosity.
"I heard that Aunt Huang went to the border. Is there anything fun there?"
“There are so many fun things.”
Xianxian looked at Lichun, who at this time came forward holding a box.
"These are all the little things I brought back for Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Aunt Huang!"
When the little emperor heard that Xianxian had brought something for him, he jumped up excitedly.
He walked up to look at the box in Lichun's hand, his young face full of surprise.
Liu Yueqi acts a little like an adult on weekdays.
But now in front of Xianxian, he just looks like an ordinary child.
The Empress Dowager smiled kindly and shook her head helplessly, "You are such a child who never grows up."
Xianxian also smiled, "Your Majesty is just a child, right? It's normal for you to have things you like. I even brought a sword for your Majesty."
"It's just that it's not easy to bring it into the palace. I need the Queen Mother's consent."
"That sword was made by my father himself. I hope that Your Majesty will be healthy with it."
The country's general personally made a sword for Liu Yueqi.
Being willing to lower one's status and not being complacent is what a loyal minister does.
What the Yuan family is doing now is tantamount to surrender.
Tell the Empress Dowager bluntly that the Yuan family is willing to be loyal to Liu Yueqi and only recognize Liu Yueqi as their master.
The Empress Dowager knew that Liu Yi wanted military power.
He was even more worried that General Yuan was confused and would defect to Liu Yi because of Yuan Ningning.
Now Xianxian personally delivered the reassurance, which made the Empress Dowager smile brightly.
The Empress Dowager's eyes softened as she looked at Xianxian.
That look is the same as when looking at one's own people.
She nodded at Xianxian with satisfaction.
"I know your Yuan family's thoughts very well. Your Yuan family has always been loyal to the emperor."
"I understand this very well. As long as you assist the emperor well, I will not forget your Yuan family."
Not knowing what she was thinking of, the Grand Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Perhaps Qi'er's queen in the future will also be chosen from your Yuan family. Whether it's you or the Yuan family, I will protect you."
The Empress Dowager is really good at making promises.
But Xianxian understood the plot very clearly, and the Empress Dowager was not just talking nonsense.
Since she promised to protect the Yuan family, she must protect herself.
Then this statement was not made without reason.
Xianxian stood up and thanked the Empress Dowager.
"I don't ask for the chance to choose the queen, I just hope that mother can protect me a little."
Compared to his disliked younger son.
The Yuan family, which holds military power, is even more important.
Now the Empress Dowager is fully committed to making plans for Liu Yueqi.
He has the support of his clan members and the Yuan family's military power behind him.
This vast territory fell into the hands of Liu Yueqi.
That's definitely safe.
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Good boy, I am your mother-in-law. If I don't protect you, who else can I protect?"
I heard the other party say this.
Xianxian was naturally moved by the achievement of her goal.
Just then, the palace servant outside the door reported.
"Princess Rui is here to pay her respects to the palace."
"She's here quite early, let her in."
Prince Rui's biological mother was friends with the Empress Dowager.
But she died of childbirth complications and eventually entrusted Prince Rui to the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, Prince Rui was considered to be half the son of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager still had a somewhat favorable attitude towards Prince Rui.
He only felt disgust towards Liu Yi.
Prince Rui is sweet-talker and can make people happy, so it would be strange if the Empress Dowager didn't like him.
Princess Rui was dressed in jewels and had a smiling face full of joy.
"I greet my mother and your majesty."
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Hurry up and sit down. You are dressed beautifully today, and I am in a good mood just by looking at you."
Some are older.
I prefer to see people around me wearing bright and vibrant clothes.
The Empress Dowager felt unlucky every time she saw Liu Rong.
In order to highlight her own characteristics, Liu Rong likes to wear plain clothes.
Dress up every day as if you are going to a funeral.
When the late emperor passed away, he issued an edict prohibiting the whole nation from observing mourning for him.
What's more, three months have passed.
He pretended to be nice on the surface, but in fact he was having an unclear relationship with Liu Yi behind the scenes.
Even though Princess Rui often curses.
But she was very obedient in front of the Empress Dowager.
"To pay respects to my mother, I must dress modestly. This dress and headdress were bought for me by the prince."
Princess Rui talked about her husband.
That pretty face was full of shyness and pride.
Everyone in the capital knows about the loving relationship between Prince Rui and his wife.
Others who saw it were all envious.
Princess Rui is even more proud of this.
The Grand Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and shook her head gently.
"As long as you have a good relationship, I, as an elder, will naturally be happy. You can each take some of the Korean ginseng that Goryeo presented as tribute a few days ago back to replenish your bodies."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The three of them chatted one after another.
Liu Yueqi next to him was playing with the small gift given by Xianxian.
Until the Empress Dowager finally got tired.
She raised her head and gently held her forehead.
"I am tired, you can go back first. Princess Li, please stay. I have something to say."
"Yes."
Princess Rui and Liu Yueqi left together.
Only Xianxian was left in the room.
The Empress Dowager went straight to the point.
"Liu Rong is pregnant, Yuan Ningning, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"Queen mother?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Xianxian with her sharp eyes.
"You are Liu Yi's wife, so you should handle this matter personally."
Let me get rid of the baby in Liu Rong's belly?
He is worthy of being the champion of the palace fight last year.
This way you don't have to dirty your hands.
You can also remove the thorn in your eyes.
Xianxian stood up and said to the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, I don't know how to deal with this. After all, the Queen Mother is the mother of a country. How can I get close to her so easily?"
If you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, it depends on whether you are willing to do so.
I didn't expect Xianxian to reject me politely.
There was surprise in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
According to her thinking, her husband betrayed her and had an affair with another woman.
Xianxian should be jealous and resentful, but she behaves very calmly.
Give her a chance to retaliate.
But she refused happily.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but look at Xianxian.
"Why? I gave you the opportunity to kill your enemy, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Get rid of the evil seed in Liu Rong's belly. Why don't you seize such a good opportunity?"
Do you want to make yourself a pawn and take the blame when something goes wrong?
Xianxian said with a look of reluctance, "The Queen Mother and the Prince did not act properly, but the child in her belly is indeed innocent."
If Liu Rong really gave birth to a bastard, that would be the day of her real death.
The Empress Dowager cares about the reputation of the royal family.
He didn't want Liu Rong to give birth to a child.
But Xianxian really wants Liu Rong to have a baby.
This is evidence that can put Liu Rong and Liu Yi on the pillar of shame.
As long as the child is born.
Liu Rong will definitely be charged with the crime of being a whore.
Wouldn't it be easy to kill her then?
Why dirty your hands?
Hearing this, Xianxian began to feel more compassionate.
The Empress Dowager frowned and looked displeased.
"Alright, you're still thinking about whether you're innocent or not. You really disappoint me. Please leave now."
"Chen and concubine retire."
Xianxian took the opportunity to slip away quickly.
As soon as I left the Cining Palace, I saw Princess Rui.
"Yuan Ningning, why did you come out just now? What secret did your mother want you to tell her?"
Princess Rui came forward with a gossipy look on her face.
"I went back to my parents' home this time, and my mother couldn't help but express her concern."
Thinking of the Yuan family behind Xianxian, Princess Rui agreed with this statement.
"You and I are one civil servant and one military officer, but you want to be more like a civil servant's daughter than I do. You are usually dignified, virtuous and famous. It's really annoying."
Princess Rui made no effort to conceal her jealousy and spoke sourly with a pout.
This couldn't help but make Xianxian laugh.
"Are you jealous of me? But I envy you more. You have a husband who loves you so much, even though he is a little weak."
Prince Rui has been weak and sickly since childhood, but he is very elegant and refined.
Let’s put aside Liu Yi, who has the halo of the male lead.
Prince Rui is definitely the dream lover of many women in the capital.
Loyal and affectionate until death.
I heard Xianxian say that she envied me.
She even mentioned her husband.
Princess Rui blushed and twisted her waist.
"What are you talking about? I envy your reputation, but you tease me..."
Before she could finish her words, she caught a glimpse of Liu Rong.
The other person was wearing a turquoise long skirt, dressed very elegantly and beautifully, with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Xianxian closely.
Princess Rui went into combat mode on the spot.
"Hey, isn't this the Queen Mother?"
No matter how much I hate Liu Rong.
Princess Rui still understood that she should not underestimate the enemy and leave any evidence for him.
The two of them bowed perfunctorily toward Liu Rong.
But Liu Rong kept staring at Xianxian.
"Ningning, are you still angry with me?"
Perhaps he found it difficult for Liu Yi to enter the palace.
Now the Empress Dowager is watching too closely.
Liu Rong lowered herself again to look for Xianxian.
Princess Rui looked at Xianxian, then at Liu Rong, her eyes rolling around.
I only heard Xianxian reply with a sense of distance, "What does the Queen Mother mean? How dare I be angry with the Queen Mother."
"You are His Majesty's biological mother, and now the mother of the nation. I dare not be angry with you."
There is a lot of tension between the two.
Xianxian lowered her head slightly and held her body straight.
Princess Rui, who was standing by, finally noticed it.
The former good sisters have completely broken up.
Didn’t you see the embarrassment on Liu Rong’s face?
Liu Rong thought about her situation, bit her lower lip and spoke weakly.
"Ningning, have you forgotten our friendship?"
"When you and I were both single, you said you would treat me like your own sister and would never let me suffer any injustice."
To move forward from the past is nothing more than an attempt at moral kidnapping.
Her slender eyes were calm and expressionless.
The breeze blew the ribbons on her skirt gently.
Her voice was still cold.
"Liu Rong, since you have disregarded the sisterhood and insisted on getting entangled with Liu Yi, what sisterhood can we talk about?"
These words were like a slap in the face, slapping Liu Rong hard.
The evil gene in Princess Rui's blood began to boil.
He immediately put his hands on his hips and pointed at Liu Rong and cursed, "Shameless woman, when you were seducing Liu Yi, when did you ever think of Yuan Ningning?"
"Back then, Yuan Ningning offended all the noble ladies in the capital for you, and even risked her own life to bravely break into the palace and ask the imperial physician to deliver your baby."
"Don't you have any heart for all these things?"
The original person cherishes his friends and lovers.
But the two people she cherished most ruthlessly betrayed her.
Even Princess Rui complained about the injustice.
Liu Rong hates Princess Rui.
I just felt that she was like a mad dog.
Listening to Princess Rui's sarcasm.
Liu Rong couldn't help but replied angrily.
"Shut up, I'm talking to Princess Li, why do you need to butt in?"
Probably because of the pregnancy.
Liu Rong has a very bad temper now.
Because life in the palace was not going well.
Many valuable vases were smashed in Shoukang Palace.
Could Princess Rui be afraid of Liu Rong?
She just rolled her eyes and looked sarcastic.
"No matter how poor this princess is, she is married to me in a formal ceremony. No matter how arrogant you are, you still have to climb the dragon bed. You have a good fate to have the chance to become the queen mother."
"What's more, you are shameless and shameless enough to seduce someone else's husband."
She is indeed a brainless female supporting role, every word she says is heartbreaking regardless of the consequences.
No wonder he died so miserably in the end.
This outspoken mouth will cause him to lose several layers of skin if he doesn't die.
Liu Rong on the opposite side was shaking with anger.
Don't let your mood swings get too extreme during pregnancy.
Xianxian knew that Liu Rong was pregnant.
She pretended to be concerned and said, "The Queen Mother seems to be unwell. Why don't I ask the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Sure enough, Liu Rong looked pale and guilty.
"unnecessary!"
It can be seen that Liu Rong is unusual.
Princess Rui stared at her suspiciously, "Queen Mother, why are you so pale? Why don't you call the imperial physician?"
"No!"
Her voice was shrill and harsh.
I realized that I was being too extreme.
Plus there’s this sinking feeling in my lower abdomen.
Liu Rong gritted her teeth and said coldly, "I am not as fragile as you think. Let's go back to the palace."
Originally, I was planning to let Xianxian help me.
But I didn't expect to be rejected directly by the other party.
Princess Rui's words made me so angry that my stomach hurt.
It's really a waste of money.
Looking at Liu Rong's back as he left in a hurry.
Princess Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Xianxian, "I can guarantee that Liu Rong must have done something wrong."
"She's clearly feeling very uncomfortable, so why is she refusing to call for the imperial physician?"
Some things can only be understood, not expressed in words.
If I really told Princess Rui right away, she would be very careless with her mouth.
I'm afraid the whole capital will be filled with rumors the next day.
Xianxian just raised the corners of her lips slightly.
"We are not the worms in the Queen Mother's stomach."
Seeing Xianxian acting like it’s none of her business.
Princess Rui smiled and said, "It's my youngest son's birthday in two days. Come and have a drink."
"nature."
Because we have to wait for Prince Rui to return home together.
Xianxian then separated from Princess Rui.
Just when she was about to leave the palace.
Xiao Enzi called out to Xianxian.
"Princess Li, slow down."
Xianxian turned around and looked at him curiously.
"Xiao Enzi, does His Majesty have something to ask me?"
Xiao Enzi panted and nodded, "Your Majesty asked me to come and thank the princess. If it weren't for the princess's help, His Majesty wouldn't know what would happen to him now."
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
Xianxian was wearing a long dress embroidered with gold thread, and she had few hair accessories on her head, but each one was exquisite.
The sunlight fell on her, like a rosy glow, dazzling and eye-catching.
"Go back and tell His Majesty that this is my duty."
