"Actually, when you were very young, I wanted to choose one of you as the Crown Princess. As you grew up, I became more and more fond of Shufen, and I also secretly I asked her how she felt about the prince, and she said it was pretty good."
"Thinking about it later, she actually just said Rong Cha's words at that time!"
"But I didn't think of this at the time. I thought she also had feelings for the prince, so I rashly proposed marriage to the Prince of Zhennan. As a result, the entire Prince of Zhennan was in trouble!"
Hearing these words of the Queen Mother, the Queen's face suddenly showed something strange!
"What?" Seeing the strange look on the Queen's face, the Queen Mother laughed dumbly and said, "Do you really think that the royal family has nothing to do with what your Zhennan Palace and Donghai Palace have done?
Do you know?"
The Empress Dowager chuckled and said: "Shufen successfully eloped with the help of the power of the Donghai Palace. You should be the one who pulled the string, right?"
"Queen mother?!"
After hearing that the Empress revealed the secret that had been hidden in her heart for more than 20 years, the Empress finally couldn't restrain her inner panic and burst into chaos!
"You...you all know?!"
The Empress Dowager smiled: "You are now a queen, don't you understand how much potential power our royal family has in the empire? If you don't even know that Donghai Palace helped their little princess elope behind Zhennan Palace's back, Then our Han royal family should have disappeared into the long river of history long ago!"
When she finished speaking, the Queen Mother showed a hint of pride on her face.
The queen understood very well that it was a sense of honor and belonging to herself as the daughter-in-law of the Han royal family!
"At that time, your father and I actually knew about this matter, but we didn't make it public."
"Actually, my mistake was that I should not have proposed marriage to Prince Zhennan so hastily. And Prince Zhennan's mistake was that I underestimated the magnanimity of our royal family!"
"He thought that once he let us know that Shufen already had a boyfriend and was pregnant, it would arouse the anger of our royal family, but he didn't know that our Han royal family has always adhered to the ancestral precepts passed down by Emperor Adou, like We will not and do not bother to do this kind of thing of relying on royal dignity to win love with a sword!"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Originally, this ancestral precept was only told to you when the prince chose his concubine, but now it is the same if I tell you in advance."
"Ah?" Hearing what the Queen Mother said, the Queen was stunned for a moment, "So, even if my cousin and the others didn't elope, the royal family wouldn't do anything to them, right?"
"right!"
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.
"..." The queen was speechless for a moment.
The reason why this commotion has been going on for a long time and caused the princess of Zhennan Palace to flee among the people for more than 20 years turned out to be just the result of King Zhennan frightening himself! I don’t know whether the uncle should cry after knowing this matter. , you should still laugh!
The queen immediately said: "Then...can my cousin and the others go home?"
"This is Zhennan Prince's own family matter!"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Although we don't care about the fact that Prince Zhen'an Mansion deceived the royal family at the beginning, we don't have to waste any extra efforts to wake them up!"
"Shufang," the Queen Mother paused, took a deep look at the Queen, and said solemnly, "You have to remember that since you joined the royal family, everything in the Zhennan Palace has nothing to do with you. You are the queen of the Han royal family! Every move, word and deed represents the majesty of the royal family, so you must not do anything that damages the majesty of the royal family."
Hearing these words of the Queen Mother, the Queen's heart trembled, and she immediately said seriously: "Yes, Queen Mother! I understand!"
The queen knew that the queen mother was reminding her not to interfere in the affairs of her cousin's family!
After all, the fact that my cousin escaped from marriage, eloped with someone and gave birth to a child was, after all, a matter of prestige for the royal family!
However, if I don't interfere, then with my uncle's stubborn and stubborn character, I am afraid that even if he knows the whereabouts of his cousin, he will never face her... But, okay...
The Queen Mother suddenly thought of Ye Ming, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.
Fortunately, my cousin’s children are promising. Even if my cousin cannot return to Guangdong Province, at least she won’t suffer outside!
"No, you don't understand." Just as the Queen was thinking in her heart, the Queen Mother suddenly smiled and said, "What I just said was just official talk and stage talk! How can we, as human beings, face ourselves? Your family members and sisters are suffering, and you just sit back and do nothing? If this is really the case, then it would be too cold-blooded and terrible!"
"Ah?" At this moment, the queen completely didn't understand what the queen mother meant, "Mother, is this really a wish?"
"Haha," looking at the bewildered look on the queen's face, the queen mother smiled and said, "Do you remember what I just asked you? You have never called me aunt since you married the prince."
"Although I have married into the royal family and become the queen of my mother's world, I always remember in my heart that I come from the Wang family of Guangdong Province and am a member of the Zhennan Palace!"
Under the Queen's puzzled gaze, the Queen Mother said: "Because of my status as a royal family, it is impossible for me to do anything that would harm the dignity of the royal family. But how can we say that we can just give up the blood and family ties!"
"I watched you and Shufen grow up," the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with tenderness and guilt, "and I am partly responsible for why Shufen ended up where she is today, so I have always been , I feel guilty for their family."
"However, due to various factors, I have not been able to help them. Moreover, I am even more worried that once I do something, if someone finds out, it may be counterproductive and destroy their peaceful life!"
"But now I have a perfect opportunity!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Because of Ye Ming's excellence, the entire empire is paying attention to him and his family."
"If his identity is exposed at this time, even if someone wants to embarrass them, they may have to worry about the feelings and reactions of the people!"
".`Huh?" After hearing these words from the Queen Mother, the Queen couldn't help but her eyes lit up, "Mother, what do you mean..."
"I don't mean anything," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "This is all the Emperor's intention!"
"Ah? Your Majesty?" The queen was stunned again and her eyes turned a dull earth color.
Seeing the cute look on her daughter-in-law's face, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh, shook her head and said: "You! You don't really understand your husband after all!"
"After living together for so many years, do you think your husband really can't feel the guilt and regret that have been in your heart for more than 20 years?"
"It's just that as an emperor, he also needs to consider all aspects of things, including whether this incident will have any impact on the royal family, Zhennan Palace, Donghai Palace and other major forces. Therefore, for so many years, he has been It’s just that we haven’t taken action yet!”
"And now, with such a good opportunity, he naturally wants to help his wife get rid of the thorn in her heart, so that his wife will never sigh when no one is around!"
"Mother!"
Hearing these words of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. Ten indescribable feelings surged out of her heart!
In an instant, the queen's nose became sore, her eyes turned red, and she shed tears!
"Mother!"
The queen, who was nearly forty, suddenly threw herself into the arms of the old queen mother, with tears in her eyes!
She didn't expect that her mother-in-law and her husband had already understood what she was thinking, and had silently done so much for her! Who said that the most ruthless emperor's family was?
This imperial home was filled with warmth in an instant!
