After talking to Mrs. Qin, the Queen Mother quickly made another decision.
She wants to marry the fifth princess Rong Jinyue to Chen Qingwu, the second son of the Chen family.
And after deciding on this matter, he directly sent someone to invite Emperor Mu.
She is the emperor's mother. She has voluntarily closed the palace for more than 20 years, and now she has opened the Shou'an Palace. As her son, the emperor, out of filial piety and intolerance for so many years, will not easily disobey her wishes.
So she had to strike while the iron was hot and arrange something for herself as soon as possible that she could decide.
Sure enough, when Emperor Mu heard about her decision, he did not immediately refute it. Instead, after a long silence, he said: "Jin Yue was spoiled by her mother. I asked the queen's nun to discipline her for a while. Although her temper has changed now, Quite a few, but her mother is vicious and has been relegated to the cold palace, so why would the Queen Mother think of marrying Jin Yue to the Chen family?"
"The Ai family treats every grandchild equally. After Jin Yue was born, the Ai family barely saw her a few times." The queen mother sighed softly, with a look of pity on her face. "This child is also pitiful. From the very beginning, The noble princess has become a poor little girl whose mother has fallen out of favor and has no one to love her. The Ai family must plan for her future."
Emperor Mu took a sip of tea calmly, thinking about the Queen Mother's successive decisions, and he already knew it in his heart.
"The Queen Mother is right." He nodded, "Jin Yue is famous for her unruly temper in Shengjing. The men in the ordinary family would not be able to hide if they saw her. Who would dare to marry her? Marry into the Chen family in Jingxi It’s just the same, the Chen family’s family background is worthy of her, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, she has no one to support her, so she will always control her temper and be a good wife and mother."
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with his attitude: "Since the Emperor has no objection, let's make the decree tomorrow."
Emperor Mu nodded: "Okay."
Hearing how straightforward he was, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile a little: "Speaking of which, although the Ai family has been used to being quiet these years, they haven't seen the princes and princesses for a long time. The Ai family wants to open a family in Shou'an Palace. Let the children gather together at the banquet, and the Ai family will be lively and lively. I wonder if the emperor can fulfill the Ai family’s wish?”
"There is no reason why I should not respond to this request." Emperor Mu agreed without thinking, "The twenty-sixth of this month is a good day, why not just fix it on that day?"
The Queen Mother nodded: "Listen to the Emperor."
Emperor Mu stood up and straightened his dragon robe a little: "I will leave first, and my mother will rest earlier."
"Um."
Emperor Mu turned and left with Yang Dexi.
The Queen Mother slowly took the tea cup, opened the tea lid, sipped the tea with her eyes closed, and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes.
The royal family governs the world with filial piety.
She is the biological mother of the emperor, and although she cannot make decisions about major affairs of the previous dynasty, she has complete authority over family matters such as the concubines in the harem, the prince's concubines, and the marriage of princes and princesses.
The emperor will not refute her as a mother.
So, what is the Queen of the Middle Palace?
With her as the Queen Mother, the Queen would be a head taller.
…
After leaving Shou'an Palace, Emperor Mu sat on the dragon chariot and commanded in a deep voice: "Send it to Shuhuang Palace."
Yang Dexi agreed, and a group of people arrived at Shuhuang Palace surrounded by the emperor.
Chu Yunfei was chatting with the queen in Shuhuang Palace.
"There are overwhelming rumors outside, which have caused a lot of harm to Qin Zhilan, but she is responsible for all these." The queen looked slightly cold, "The queen mother summoned Mrs. Qin, most likely to take this opportunity to grant her a marriage and win over the Qin family. For her use, it just happened to solve Qin Zhilan's most difficult marriage issue at the moment."
"Who do you think the mother-in-law spread the rumor to?"
The queen smiled lightly: "After Mrs. Qin left, I thought about it carefully. Danshu would not do such a thing, and neither would my sister-in-law. She could do such a thing and make it impossible to find out the source. If it’s really Xie’s family, it can only be Xie Lin.”
Chu Yunfei was silent, thanking uncle Xiaoguo?
Thinking of Xie Lin's warm smile in the past, Chu Yunfei felt that this man was different from ordinary young masters. Even though he always showed a gentle and harmless side, people could not ignore the smile beneath his face. A mind as deep as the ocean.
Speaking of which, she and Rong Cang had to call him uncle.
After all, the Xie family and Rong Cang are indeed blood relatives.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The sudden announcement interrupted Chu Yunfei's thoughts. She quickly stood up and followed the queen to greet her. Just as she was about to salute, she saw Emperor Mu wave his hand: "There is no need to be more polite."
The queen smiled and asked: "Why does the emperor have time to come here?"
"With the crown prince helping to handle court affairs, I have a lot of free time now." Emperor Mu smiled, with a tone that suggested that a capable person works hard and knows how to make good use of others. "No, I was chatting with the Queen Mother in Shou'an Palace just now. For a while."
The queen and Chu Yunfei looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.
Emperor Mu sat down on the throne and unexpectedly dropped a piece of bad news to Chu Yunfei: "The Queen Mother intends to marry two girls from the Chen family to the Crown Prince as concubines. Crown Princess, you have an idea."
Chu Yunfei was startled: "Concubine?"
"Yes." Emperor Mu walked to the main seat and sat down, with a calm and relaxed expression, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, "I am the son of the Queen Mother, and I cannot refuse the Queen Mother's decision. In a few days, After the Chen family's daughter arrives at the East Palace, you can make arrangements for her position."
Chu Yunfei sat down and remained silent.
"A few days ago, I just rejected Qin Zhilan's request to be a concubine. In the blink of an eye, the queen mother had another idea. Now that Rong Cang has become the prince, will people have to be put in the backyard?" The queen frowned, really unhappy, "Not to mention the prince. It’s time to concentrate on government affairs, so it’s not appropriate to dwell too much on the love of your children for the time being. This..."
"I can't refuse, but Rong Cang and Yun Fei can't refuse." Emperor Mu said matter-of-factly, obviously not taking the two women seriously, "The Chen family's women are sent to the East Palace, and they belong to the East Palace. How to deal with them , isn’t it the prince and the princess who have the final say?”
Chu Yunfei lowered her eyebrows and said, "But once the people enter the East Palace, if the daughter-in-law is too harsh on them, they will inevitably get a reputation of being narrow-minded. If they make the Queen Mother dissatisfied, it will make the father and emperor even more embarrassed."
"I'm not in trouble." Emperor Mu waved his hand, "I believe that with your intelligence, you will find a way to solve this matter."
