Chapter 85 Turning grief and anger into motivation
As the emperor and the empress left the table, some of the ministers who were preparing to show their hospitality also ate the vegetarian meal with great interest. Even the empress dowager felt that the vegetarian meal that she once liked to eat was not good because of the topic that the emperor and the empress had stirred up before. I don’t know the taste.
After eating a few simple bites, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to the imperial concubine who was eating slowly at the side, "Yun'er, are you ready? The Ai family is a little tired. Can you go with the Ai family for a walk?"
The imperial concubine was startled, "Yun'er is full, I will help you to the room."
"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager said with a straight face, "Although the Ai family is old, they are not yet at the point where they need to be supported."
The imperial concubine then realized that she had said something wrong and changed her words, "Then you can go back with the maids. Yoona also wants to eat some more vegetarian food. The vegetarian food here is quite delicious."
"You!" The Empress Dowager stretched out her foot and kicked the Imperial Concubine viciously. "You are so angry with the Aijia, so just deliberately make the Aijia angry! Doesn't the Aijia just want to talk to you?"
"How can Yuner deliberately be angry with the Queen Mother? Of course Yuner also knows that you want to talk to me, but..." The imperial concubine glanced at the other concubines at the other tables, especially Concubine Shu, the mother of the second prince, who was sitting at the same table. , and Concubine Yue, the third prince’s mother.
The two of them seemed to be eating their vegetarian meal with their heads down, but in fact they were secretly looking at her and the Empress Dowager casually. Their ears even perked up, wanting to put their ears in front of them.
Of course, the meaning in the eyes of the two people as they secretly looked at each other was also very obvious, especially that of Concubine Yue. It was not difficult to see that there was still a bit of hatred in her eyes.
When the empress dowager heard what the imperial concubine said, her face suddenly condensed, and she glared at Concubine Yue and Concubine Shu with a cold look in her eyes.
Concubine Yue and Concubine Shu were secretly looking at the two of them. They originally saw them talking and laughing, but suddenly they saw the Queen Mother's expression condensed, and she stared at this side with a cold look in her eyes. She suddenly said something bad to herself, He quickly lowered his head and immersed himself in eating, remaining silent and not daring to raise his head.
"Don't worry about them!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Are you still afraid of them?!"
"Of course I'm not afraid anymore!" the imperial concubine said. "You are here to make the decision for Yoona!"
The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes at the Imperial Concubine, "Even if the Ai family is not here today, I'm afraid you are not afraid of them!"
"No one knows me better than the Queen Mother!"
"With your mouth, you can say nice things to make the Ai family happy!"
"Hehe!" The imperial concubine chuckled, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and wiped her mouth, "Mother, Yuner is full. Didn't you say you want Yuner to accompany you for a walk? Let's go out for a walk now? "
"Okay! Let's go out for a walk now."
Not far behind, the maids waiting to serve saw the imperial concubine waving to her and others, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve them, but the empress dowager rejected them, "You don't need to, Yun'er, come and support the Ai family!"
"Mother, just now you said you didn't need Yun'er's support. Why have you changed your mind now?"
"I want you to talk too much!" The Empress Dowager glared at the Imperial Concubine, "If you don't come over to help me, the Ai family won't be able to get up today."
The imperial concubine was dumbfounded as she looked at the empress dowager who was acting like a child. The maids on the side also covered their mouths and chuckled when they heard the empress dowager acting like a child.
The Empress Dowager glared at the maids who were covering their mouths and laughing. The maids immediately buried their heads in their chests and remained silent.
"Okay, okay! I'm here to help you. Are you satisfied this time?" The imperial concubine stepped forward and helped the empress dowager stand up.
"Hmph! Pretentious! Duplicity!"
"If you say this, Queen Mother, then Yun'er won't help you. You can go alone!" After saying that, he pretended to let go of his hand.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she quickly grabbed the hands supported by the Imperial Concubine and scolded her with a straight face. "you dare!"
"Yooner doesn't dare!" said the imperial concubine, "Yooner is just joking!"
"That's pretty much it!" the Queen Mother said with satisfaction, "Hurry up and help the Ai family!"
The imperial concubine once again helped the empress dowager to leave the table and walked slowly towards the room.
The two of them were silent all the way, and just walked slowly to the empress dowager's room.
The imperial concubine had just sat down, and before she had a chance to take a sip of hot tea, she heard the empress dowager ask, "What's going on with Yuntao's grandson and Meng Ruoxi? The Ai family, from what the emperor said, you seem to be hiding something." Aijia.”
The imperial concubine was startled. She did not expect that the empress dowager would ask her this matter, "Mother, you better not ask. Didn't the emperor say that when your birthday is over, the emperor will tell you in detail."
"Okay!" The Empress Dowager lightly slapped the Imperial Concubine, "You even hid this from the Ai family. Alas! The Ai family are old and useless! They are despised by you!"
"Mother!" The imperial concubine stuck out her tongue, looking extremely playful, "Mother, it's not what you think!"
"Then why don't you tell the Aijia what's going on?!"
"This matter is a long story, but to make it short, I'd better not talk about it anymore."
"How dare you fight with the Ai family? Haha! I think you are asking for a fight!"
"Oh! Queen Mother, please don't embarrass Yun'er. Your Majesty has specifically told me not to let you know for the time being."
"It turned out to be the emperor who said it, then forget it, let's wait until the Ai family's birthday has passed!" The Queen Mother sighed, "Hey! If it weren't for the fact that you saved the Ai family, look at the Ai family How to deal with you today!"
"Hehe!" The imperial concubine hugged the empress dowager's arm and coquettishly said, "You won't deal with Yuner! The best thing you can do to Yuner is just talk!"
"You!" The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes at the Imperial Concubine, "How old are you? You are already a mother, and you still act like a child."
"Isn't it just the two of us in private? It's good to put on the airs of the imperial concubine in front of others, but how tiring it is to have to act like a concubine behind the scenes!" The imperial concubine relied on the empress dowager, like a child.
"Besides, don't you just like my straightforward temperament? If you hadn't helped me secretly when I married Yun'er, I would have been poisoned long ago when I was pregnant with Yuntao, and where would I be today? "
"Hey!" The Empress Dowager sighed again and talked about some past events, "These years have been really hard on you. If the Emperor hadn't met you once by chance, he would have been obsessed with you and insisted on accepting you as his wife. Concubine, maybe now you..."
"Mother!" the imperial concubine said sadly, "I promised not to mention this matter again."
"Okay, okay!" The Queen Mother also knew that she had said too much, so she quickly stopped the topic, "I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore, when people get older, they like to think about things from their youth."
"You will never grow old after you are a mother!" The imperial concubine showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said with a forced smile.
"Hey!" The Empress Dowager didn't see the forced smile on the Imperial Concubine's face, and she felt very guilty. It was all because of her own mouth, which always said nonsense.
The Queen Mother felt guilty and couldn't help but pat the Imperial Concubine's head, which was leaning against her.
…
Bi Yuntao returned to his room angrily, breathing heavily. Grandma has legs! I'm so angry! A pair of adulterers and adulterers!
I sat down on the bed, ready to lie down and take a nap, but as soon as I spread out the quilt, I saw a touch of green.
Damn it! Even your broken pillow is laughing at me, right?
Bi Yuntao angrily grabbed the pillow and threw it against the wall!
This didn't seem to relieve his anger, so he jumped up, rushed over and kicked and stomped on the pillow violently.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" Bi Yuntao vented his anger and fell down on the bed panting.
"I vented a bit, and I feel much better!"
Bi Yuntao breathed for a while and calmed down. He took out a pillow from the storage ring, lay down, and began to think about how to deal with the matter between Meng Ruoxi and Han Wuyong.
But when I think of Meng Ruoxi and Han Wuyong talking, laughing, and quarreling with each other, I feel depressed.
That bastard Han Wuyong even served Meng Ruoxi food affectionately. What was even more annoying was that Meng Ruoxi didn't refuse, and ate it as if nothing was wrong.
The more Bi Yuntao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he sat up suddenly. No, I can't just fool around with it. Now I need to find where Han Wuyong lives. Wait until night...
After making up his mind, for the first time, a strong and intense murderous intention appeared in his eyes.
"Gululu!" Because Bi Yuntao's mood had improved, his stomach began to growl uncontrollably.
Bi Yuntao took out a pot of soy sauce beef from the storage ring. Yes, that's right, it was a pot. Anyway, the storage ring has a huge space. Bi Yuntao considered that he might be alone in the future, so he spent a lot of money to buy a lot of meat to prepare for emergencies. This is one of the reasons why Bi Yuntao wanted money from the imperial concubine.
"Just eating beef is not enough, we need staple food." Bi Yuntao thought for a while, walked to the door, and called out to a young monk.
"Grandmaster!"
"Amitabha!" The young monk clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute. "Master, I don't dare to accept it. I wonder what the donor has done?"
"Amitabha!" Bi Yuntao also pretended to return the favor, "Excuse me, Master, where is the kitchen? I just went to help the emperor do something, and I haven't eaten yet. I guess lunch is over now, so..."
"Amitabha! Donor! I'm afraid there's not much left in the kitchen now. There's probably only some steamed buns left."
"It doesn't matter!" Bi Yuntao's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that there was still food. "I wonder if master can bring some for me? I am really tired."
"Amitabha! Of course, please wait a moment." The young monk bowed and left. Not long after, the monk came back with a basket full of steamed buns.
"Thank you, Master! Helping others is better than building a seven-level pagoda!" Bi Yuntao made up nonsense and flattered him.
"Amitabha! Donor, you're welcome!"
Full of joy, he returned to the room, took out a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water from the storage ring, and ate steamed buns with soy sauce beef. In fact, I originally wanted to take out a bottle of wine and get drunk, but the smell of wine was a bit strong, and I was afraid of being smelled by others, so I had to settle for drinking Feizhai Happy Water.
