There was a dead silence in the hall, and the air seemed to be frozen.
"Hehe, hehe, you kid, of course I didn't mean that..."
"My wife is stupid and didn't hear any other meaning. Could you please clarify?"
The queen wanted to have a laugh.
This kind of thing cannot be stated clearly, it must be covered up and ambiguous, so that people can speculate and guess!
Once it is made clear and exposed to the sun, wouldn’t it mean that a Ding is a Ding and a Mao is a Mao?
The queen's face was embarrassed and stiff, while Wen Jin's eyes were firm and refused to give in.
It seems that if the Queen doesn't explain this matter clearly today, she won't be able to get over this hurdle.
"Hiss..." The Queen Mother suddenly took a breath of pain.
It turned out to be Wen Yu's little hand grabbing her arm. He couldn't hold it back and suddenly exerted force.
The Queen Mother turned to look at Wen Yu.
The small, fair and delicate face of a child, with a pair of big watery eyes, were red and ready to cry.
But the child must be strong. He gritted his teeth and held back the tears. His red lips trembled slightly because of the forbearance.
The Queen Mother's heart seemed to be squeezed by a pair of invisible hands...
Who did this kid offend?
Because his parents didn't get along, he was born in Lengyuan and spent five years in that small courtyard.
Now Xiao Yuchen finally admitted his identity...but he was repeatedly questioned by outsiders about his bloodline.
"Yu'er is not afraid." The Queen Mother patted the back of his hand.
Yu'er quickly let go of her hand, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"Great-grandmother, did I hurt you?" His small voice flowed into the Queen Mother's heart like a sweet sweet spring.
"Great-grandmother doesn't care. With the Ai family here, who can say such nonsense again! Great-grandmother will never spare her!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at the Queen coldly.
The Queen took a deep breath and turned pale instantly...
Is the Queen Mother's heart in her armpits? She has no doubts about the bloodline issue?
"Why did King Huai imprison their mother and son in the cold courtyard? The queen didn't ask King Huai about this question. Why did the queen make things difficult for the mother and son who were unable to resist back then and could only accept the situation?
"It's like, the Ai family slaps you for no reason. But others ask you, why does the Queen Mother slap you? Why only you? Why not slap others? What do you say?"
The Queen Mother's eyes were cold and she stared at the Queen without blinking.
Under such a stern gaze, the queen had difficulty breathing and her chest felt tight.
She expected that Wen Jin would have a hard time explaining this kind of thing. Things in the inner courtyard have always been based on suspicion. No matter how many mouths she has, she can't stop others from being suspicious.
But the queen never expected that the queen mother would stand up and protect their mother and son.
It seems...she's still a step too late!
She has already asked Wen Jin to please the Queen Mother... She was careless!
"What the Queen taught me is that I also heard some rumors and thought it would bring bad reputation to the royal family, so I asked Princess Huai face to face." The Queen said with a smile.
"Queen, rumors stop with the wise. You are the head of the Sixth Palace and the mother of a country.
"If you were really concerned about the reputation of the royal family, you should have asked the matter thoroughly in front of my concubine and King Huai.
"Then if you hear rumors from anyone, you will be severely punished. Only in this way can the rumors be stopped. Instead of making vague and random guesses in front of the Queen Mother.
"As for the Queen Mother, it is unfilial for you to make random guesses about things that you have not figured out yourself and make the Queen Mother worry!
"As far as Chen's wife and Yu'er are concerned, you are the queen, the legitimate mother, and the elder, but it is unkind to doubt the younger ones for no reason."
When the queen heard this, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Wen Jin in astonishment.
She didn't expect the Queen Mother's reaction, and she never expected Wen Jin's reaction!
How dare she criticize herself like this? Saying that you are unkind and unfilial?
The queen's face turned from white to red... she was so angry.
"You...you..." The queen raised her finger and pointed at Wen Jin, her fingertips trembling with anger.
Seeing this, Wen Jin suddenly knelt down and saluted, "I don't say anything about my parents' faults. I'm offended. But because there are still the emperor's grandmother and Xiao Yu here, I have to say it for the sake of the emperor's grandmother and the youngest son."
"Hehe..." The queen was so angry that she vomited blood.
Before she had a seizure, Wen Jin blocked her back!
People say that children are the first to tell the faults of their parents... It means that they criticize their elders for being "unkind and unfilial", and people know that they have made a mistake.
But for the sake of the elder Queen Mother, I have to offend you, the elder who happens to be in the middle. It is for greater filial piety and kindness!
In order to protect his youngest son, you have already hurt his heart by speaking like this...
Didn't you see that Xiao Yu is still lying in the Empress Dowager's arms right now, with his little face buried in the Empress Dowager's body and refusing to raise his head?
Being a mother means being strong.
A mother, in order to protect her children, contradicts authority... This is like making trouble in front of the emperor, and the queen has nothing to say.
unwise……
The queen felt suffocated in her heart.
There is a saying in the military book, "Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in a hundred battles." She miscalculated.
Ever since she thought Wen Jin was still the empty-headed woman she had been many years ago...she was destined to lose this battle.
The queen swallowed hard the sour water and bitter taste in her stomach... thinking about how to end this embarrassing situation.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Princess Pregnant...
"His Royal Highness King Huai came here just now, but he left angrily before entering the palace. King Huai..."
A young eunuch stood at the door of the palace, panting and looking panicked.
"Come in and talk, what's wrong with King Huai?" the Queen Mother said.
The young eunuch entered the palace and knelt down to report, "His Royal Highness King Huai knelt down outside the door of the royal study, crying bitterly, saying that he had not been a good father and allowed his son to suffer humiliation and suspicion outside. Please ask the emperor to punish him. And I will ennoble the young master as the crown prince, and ask the emperor to stamp the official seal of the canonization document."
The queen's whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She never imagined that Xiao Yuchen would bring this matter to the emperor before the matter in Renshou Palace was over!
The Queen Mother turned to look at the Queen and sneered, "Are you satisfied now?"
The queen's body softened and she almost slipped from the chair.
What's her name? Shooting yourself in the foot?
It was agreed in Daliang that the direct eldest son had the right to inherit. But the canonization document stamped with a jade seal is like the emperor appointing a heir apparent or a prince in public.
It is officially announced to the world. After this level of ceremony, whoever doubts the qualifications of the Crown Prince is not a personal provocation.
It is a provocation to the imperial power and the Emperor Long Wei!
The queen did not remember how she returned to Fengqi Palace in despair.
The first thing she did when she returned to the palace was to ask, "Has the Emperor agreed to Huai Wang?"
As long as the emperor doesn't agree, she won't lose this battle!
