Royal Palace, Kangshou Palace.
Nangong Yuanyi was deposed as the crown prince and removed from his official position. The emperor ordered him to leave the palace to hand over official duties. He said he was handing over official duties, but in fact he was kicked out.
The emperor sent Eunuch Fu to send many good things to the Queen Mother's Palace. The Flower Kingdom presented scented tea and golden cicada silk satin as tribute, and the Emperor sent many gifts to the Queen Mother's Palace.
The dazzling array of items attracted the maids and nuns from Kangshou Palace to come to watch them one after another.
After Aunt Gui sent Eunuch Fu away, she did not shy away from the fact that An Xiyue was also there, with a look full of showing off, and said: "Old slave, I heard that all the countries paid tribute this time. I didn't expect that the emperor would give it to the Queen Mother." It’s been delivered, your Majesty is really filial.”
The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor's actions were because she was afraid that she would really kill Nangong Yuanyi, and leaving him with nothing was also a disguised way of protecting him.
This way she couldn't find an excuse to get rid of him, and sending these things was just to calm her down.
When the Queen Mother thought about how her two sons had hid it from her for so many years, how could her anger disappear so easily? She obviously could not torture him, but secretly she would not let him go, and she must not leave any trouble behind.
An Xiyue's eyes were red, as if she had cried, and she stood aside respectfully.
The Queen Mother drank the medicinal food carefully prepared by An Xiyue and found it really delicious.
The Queen Mother said softly: "What, are you wronged?"
"Xi Yue...there are no civilian women." An Xi Yue replied against her will.
"Everyone in the Ai family knows that Princess Mingjing is causing trouble for you," the Queen Mother said calmly.
An Xiyue's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction and she said: "Just because my husband is no longer the heir, the princess..."
As soon as the incident in the Jinluan Hall reached the harem, almost the entire harem knew about it. Of course, Nangong Mingjing, who had a huge feud with An Xiyue, would not let An Xiyue go. He not only ridiculed her, but also destroyed the medicinal diet that An Xiyue had just prepared. It was overturned, causing An Xiyue to do it again.
If An Xiyue hadn't moved out of the Queen Mother, Princess Mingjing would not have let her go. Even if An Xiyue didn't say anything, these things would have reached the ears of the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother found out, she just laughed it off.
Suddenly, An Xiyue felt that her words were wrong, and she knelt down respectfully and said, "Queen Mother, what is going on? Why is my husband not the son of my father and my mother? I want to go to the palace to see my husband."
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, An Xiyue was just a sixteen-year-old girl who had not been married for long. The feeling of suddenly falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley made An Xiyue vividly express it.
The Queen Mother stirred the lotus seeds in the bowl and praised: "The medicinal diet you made is very suitable for the Ai family. It's better to stay with the Ai family from now on." This meant that she did not intend to let her out of the palace.
An Xiyue suddenly raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, wondering what the Queen Mother meant.
The Queen Mother looked at her tear-stained face and said, "Now your husband has nothing. If you stay with the Ai family, the Ai family will make the decision for you to reconcile. With your skills and looks, you can marry a better man in the future." .”
An Xiyue did not expect that the Queen Mother would still want to bribe her after learning that Nangong Yuanyi was defeated.
Suddenly, An Xiyue fell to the ground and couldn't hold back the tears anymore: "My husband is very good to me. I don't want to divorce. Even if he becomes a beggar, I will still be his wife. I will eat chaff with my husband." Xiyue is willing to eat any food."
When the Queen Mother heard these words, she only felt a sneer. There is no woman in the world who does not yearn for glory, wealth and delicacies. If he knew that the Crown Prince was interested in her face, she might not be so anxious to reject the Ai family...
