Qin Zhilan's death brought Jin'an Wang and his wife to the forefront, and the matter was discussed in the streets and alleys.
Mrs. Qin cried bitterly at home, saying that it was the breakup of the engagement by King Jin'an that irritated Zhi Lan, which made her unable to think about it and committed suicide twice in a row.
When the Queen Mother heard about this, she immediately ordered someone to invite the Queen, and lost her temper in Shou'an Palace: "What did the Ai family say? Jun Wu said, how can the imperial decree of marriage be easily withdrawn? It's so good now, life is forced. A noble lady from a famous family died, and she was also the granddaughter of a master! If word of this spreads out, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world!"
All the people in the palace knelt down and remained silent.
The queen looked at her with a somewhat baffled look, but after all, she was concerned that she was the queen mother. If she was irritated, there would be no peace in the palace.
Yun Fei had just given birth to a baby, so it was best to be calm during this period and not to cause trouble.
After pondering for a moment, the queen humbly replied: "The marriage is the intention of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the cancellation of the engagement is the request of King Jin'an. If the Queen Mother is really angry, it is better to summon King Jin'an and give him a beating. This is considered a reward. The Qin family has an explanation."
The Queen Mother's face darkened: "Is this what Ai Jia means?"
The queen sighed: "I understand that the queen mother feels uncomfortable, but the engagement has been cancelled, and Qin Zhilan is dead. It is meaningless to say this now. Instead of blaming King Jin'an here, it is better to find a way to reduce the impact of this matter to lowest."
The Queen Mother was angry. When did she accuse King Jin'an? She was clearly dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to easily withdraw the imperial edict, and wanted to find someone to vent her anger to.
Chu Yunfei was in confinement. King Jin'an was her most beloved grandson. The emperor was the king of a country. She couldn't scold anyone. She could only summon the queen to give him a lesson.
Who cares about what she thought of?
"Queen, it's not that the Ai family is talking about you. How did you become the mother of the country?" The Queen Mother said in an unhappy tone, "It is normal for an emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards. The prince is the heir apparent. It is standard to have one principal concubine and two concubines. It will definitely be the case in the future. He wants three palaces and six courtyards. As his aunt, how can you let him do whatever he wants? The prince will be the emperor in the future, not an idle prince. He wants to expand the royal family and cannot marry just one. Can you - "
"The Queen Mother is right." The Queen lowered her eyes and stared at the tea cup in her hand, and nodded absently, "I already know how to pay attention."
"If the prince hadn't made a good start, how could King Jin'an have learned so much and traveled all the way back to the capital to beg his father to take back the imperial edict?" Seeing her sitting motionless, the Queen Mother became even more angry, "If the prince had married Qin Zhilan is a concubine, how come there are so many troubles now?"
Are you knowledgeable?
The queen raised her eyes slightly, and suddenly wanted to ask her, King Jin'an has been in the fief for more than ten years, and the eldest of his three children is already a teenager. If he wants to take a concubine after all these years, who can stop him?
Rong Cang only took up the position of crown prince this year, but it affected King Jin'an's concubinage?
How ridiculous.
But she was too lazy to argue with the Queen Mother.
Now her position in the palace is stable, her son and daughter-in-law have a deep relationship, and her newly acquired eldest grandson has completely inherited Rong Cang's appearance, and will definitely be the best among individuals in the future.
More than twenty years of loneliness and desolation have passed, and her life has ushered in the most complete and proud moment. There is really no need to care about the Queen Mother, who has one foot on the coffin board.
If something is wrong and the Queen Mother is irritated, it turns out that she, the Queen, is disrespectful, unfilial and unkind, and it will be bad if it affects the reputation of the Crown Prince.
"Queen, did you hear what the Ai family said?" The Queen Mother saw that she always looked calm and composed, her face turned livid, "What are you going to do about this matter?"
The Queen put down the tea cup, stood up and saluted the Queen Mother: "I plan to send someone out of the palace to find out the situation. If Qin Zhilan is really worried about breaking off the engagement, then let Prince Jin'an and his wife come to the door in person to apologize—— "
"What did you say?" The Queen Mother's expression froze, and then she interrupted her sharply, "Let King Jin'an go and apologize?"
"Yes, the person who tied the bell must untie the bell." The Queen raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, "If it is really because of King Jin'an, then only King Jin'an can apologize. It would be insincere for anyone else to go."
The Queen Mother looked gloomy and was silent for a long time before saying, "The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. It would be better for him to take King Jin'an to comfort him."
"It's only been two days since the Crown Princess gave birth. It's a time when she needs someone to accompany her. What's more, the Crown Prince has just given birth to a child, and it's unlucky for the Qin family to attend a funeral." The Queen said, kneeling to the Queen Mother, "I will send someone to find out first. Don’t worry about the situation, Queen Mother, I will take care of it."
With that said, without waiting for the Queen Mother to say anything else, she led the people away.
The Queen Mother's face turned green and white, staring at her leaving back. In addition to being angry at the Queen's disrespect, she was even more angry at the useless King Jin'an.
She always wanted to pave the way for him with her heart, but he was obsessed with the superficial personal relationship between his children, his mind was as dull as an elm wood, and he did all the stupid things.
Now that it's fine, the outside world still doesn't know how to discuss this matter.
…
After leaving Shou'an Palace, the queen ordered someone to invite the prince to Shuhuang Palace. When she left the phoenix chariot, she stepped into the gate of Shuhuang Palace, and Rong Cang arrived just in time.
"Mother." Rong Cang saluted.
The queen said calmly: "What was the cause of Qin Zhilan's death?"
"I have just sent someone to inquire." Rong Cang looked calm and calm, "Mrs. Qin went to Prince Rong's Mansion in the afternoon, probably because she wanted to save her marriage to Qin Zhilan, but how to save it, I can't figure out."
"Rescue the engagement?" The queen paused slightly and frowned displeased, "Rong Huaishu and Dan Shu are already married. If she wants to redeem the engagement, is it possible for Rong Huaishu to divorce her? How can they be so shameless? Or Qin Zhilan Are you rushing to become a concubine? It’s a pity that Rong Huaishu promised Dan Shu never to take a concubine. Even if Prince Rong’s palace is really willing, I will not agree!”
She really didn't know who this family was, and her knowledge was refreshed again and again.
The queen's face was cold, and she really wanted to know what was going on in Mrs. Qin's mind. With a mother like this, it's no wonder she raised a shameless daughter like Qin Zhilan.
"After Mrs. Qin returned home from Prince Rong's Mansion, she had a dispute with her eldest son." Rong Cang said calmly, "Qin Zhengxuan was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Zhilan's behavior, and because the Qin family has been busy lately, they have been I suppressed my emotions, and today I got drunk and completely exploded."
The queen was stunned for a moment, then understood: "So it's not because King Jin'an broke off the engagement, but because she was forced by her elder brother?"
