Chapter 122 How Nice Your Family Is
Hongli stood up in disbelief: "Jingjing, she actually..."
So sensible!
Which princess of the royal family didn't shed tears every day when she heard that she was going to marry far away in Mongolia?
In the capital, a princess is a princess, but in the frontier, a princess is a poor woman who marries far away without a mother's family, and most of them die early.
He had already made up his mind, but now, he was filled with guilt.
The Queen Mother was not worried at all that he would go back on his word.
She not only understood the son in front of her, but also understood the existence of the emperor.
No matter how heartbroken and guilty he felt, his daughter, wife, brother and dearest brother were not as important as his own feelings or his throne.
Jingjue's marriage is a foregone conclusion.
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "No matter what the Emperor chooses, I feel guilty towards the Queen and her daughter. I must abide by my promise to Jing Jue and protect the Queen more than the Emperor in the future."
Hongli's thoughts were interrupted by her words, and he said helplessly: "When the Queen Mother said this, it seems as if her son always bullies Langya."
Yan Wan, who was sitting respectfully beside him, lowered her eyes to avoid being overwhelmed by her emotions.
The emperor probably didn't even realize that when he felt guilty, he couldn't help but call the empress by her maiden name.
Really...
This bastard is so good at persuading himself. He refuses to suffer any emotional pain and can always make himself feel better as quickly as possible.
The Queen Mother said lovingly, "I know you are filial. What happened before was because the Queen Mother always treated you like a child, which is why you acted inappropriately.
Now that you are a father yourself, you can probably understand the mother like the Queen Mother. No matter how old the child is, as a mother, she always subconsciously thinks that the child is still young. "
Hongli, who was already over 40 but still young, smiled shyly and said, "I was confused in the past and caused Empress Dowager Empress to suffer a lot of grievances. I understand it all."
The mother and son chatted vividly about the mother-son relationship. Both of them were trying hard to be good friends, so naturally the relationship between mother and son became stronger than ever.
Until Jinzhong hurried in and reported: "Your servant greets the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty..."
He hesitated.
Hongli's eyebrows jumped: "What's wrong?"
He and the Queen Mother had a deep mother-son relationship at that time, so naturally he didn't think there was anything to hide from the Queen Mother.
Jinzhong said anxiously, "After Concubine Xian came out of here, she went to...to the Empress with a ferocious face! I feel something is wrong, so I have to report it to you!"
Hongli's eyes widened with anger: "She is really getting more and more outrageous!"
The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat: "Ruyi likes to talk nonsense. Your Majesty should go with me to take a look. The Queen fainted because of Jingjue. If she gets too angry now, I'm afraid her life will be in danger!"
If the queen died at this time, would the ministers still have the nerve to let Jing Yu get married? The emperor might even change his mind.
Besides, Langya is a really good child now, and she cannot die in the hands of someone like Ruyi.
She was a little annoyed: "I really didn't expect that she has completely given up pretending and is not afraid of people saying that she eats ugly!"
Hongli's face was grim: "I will support the Empress Dowager!"
Yan Wan was anxious: "Can I run first?"
Hongli said in a deep voice: "I will let Jinzhong go first! How fast can you run with your small body?"
Yan Wan could only follow with red eyes. When Jinzhong looked up to respond to Hongli, she also stared at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong understood. When necessary, he would rather be scolded than not put the Empress's mood first.
He walked away in a hurry with his long legs.
On the other hand, Ruyi actually left the Empress Dowager's courtyard very proudly and had no intention of going to the Queen.
As long as the Queen Mother lets Lord Nianqin take action, then when Hongli issues an imperial decree, Fucha Langya will still be so angry that she will die.
But she really couldn't help it.
She copied day and night just to get out as soon as possible and to facilitate Jingjue's marriage to a distant place.
Fu Cha Langya caused her to be unable to have children, so she should also be punished by not being able to keep a child!
Thinking of the torture and humiliation she had suffered recently, Ruyi could not suppress her anger and excitement, and went directly to ask for an audience with the Queen.
As soon as they met, Ruyi laughed: "The Queen is not feeling well, I shouldn't have come to bother you."
Empress Fucha said coldly: "You are already a concubine, you should call yourself a concubine. How come you copied the palace rules so many times, but you didn't remember a single word you were supposed to remember?"
Ruyi's playful smile froze slightly, and her face turned cold: "The Queen ordered Wei Yanwan to constantly suppress and frame me, while she hid behind and pretended to be a good person. Did you really think that I didn't know anything?"
She said sarcastically, "What have you done over the years? Others may not know, but Your Majesty the Queen should know clearly! Your Majesty the Queen, you should persuade the princess that since she is supported by the whole country, she must pay the price for the Qing Dynasty. She should take the initiative to ask to marry and share the worries of the Emperor."
Empress Fucha took a deep breath and said, "You are just a concubine. This is not something you should worry about."
Ruyi smiled proudly: "After I persuade you, I will go and persuade the princess to be more sensible. She keeps talking about the title of legitimate princess all day long, but is unwilling to make even a little contribution for the Qing Dynasty. She is too selfish."
Empress Fucha was so angry that she laughed: "You are not a mother, so it is easy for you to say it! If it were your daughter..."
Ruyi interrupted her coldly: "If I had a daughter, I would naturally teach her to be humble and submissive from a young age, to be as quiet as a chrysanthemum, not to fight or compete, and to do whatever the emperor asks her to do, unlike some people who just sit there and do nothing!"
She pressed on: "But, why don't I have a daughter? Doesn't the Queen know?"
Empress Fucha said angrily: "You are so presumptuous, you act like someone else's mother just by opening your mouth. You are cutting other people's flesh, and only then do you feel no pain!"
Ruyi retorted, refusing to give in: "Why didn't the Queen ask the Fucha family to speak up for Jingjue? Is it because you didn't want to? Haha! The Queen always looked down on my family's decline, thinking that it was because there was no one in my Ulanala family that you took away the position of Fu Jin, and she has been brooding over it ever since, and won't let me go!
But now look, your family is prosperous, and all the children in your family are promising. Otherwise, why would Lord Fuheng agree to let Princess Jingyu get married in the court? You are so lucky to have such a family! "
Her last words pierced Empress Fucha's heart.
The betrayal by her natal family was a sharp arrow that could take half of Empress Fucha's life. This arrow had been on the string since she was a teenager, forcing her to do things she didn't want to do time and time again, and finally shot into her heart.
Her mother always urged her to give birth to a son every time she saw her, so much so that she became pregnant and gave birth to Yongcong before she had fully recovered, which made Yongcong suffer from poor health since childhood.
Her own brother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, sent someone to bring in a message, advising her to marry Jingjue off as soon as possible, because all her sons had died and Jingjue's greatest role now was to marry into a powerful family.
She trembled all over, went limp, and was unable to speak.
The curtain of the inner room was opened, and Jing Jing rushed out like a cannonball and slapped Ruyi in the face: "How dare you insult your master with your concubine!"
