Chapter 21: Mother and son's plan
Chapter 21 The plan of the mother and son
"Queen...what do you mean?"
The queen smiled, her face was a bit indescribable.
At this time, the queen mother did not rest in the Longevity Palace, but came directly to the queen after Ruan Youqing and Li Ange left.
Although the little girl Ruan Youqing said that she was very satisfied with the results of the queen's investigation, but she has lived for so long, so she naturally has her own thoughts in her heart.
The words Rong Yan said in Changcui Palace have already reached the ears of the Queen Mother.
She didn't believe it, that woman was really just drugged.
It's just that she didn't come here to ask for an explanation for Ruan Youqing, but... she needed to beat someone up. Don't think that Ruan Youqing can be bullied by anyone, she...is still alive!
Seeing that the queen seemed to be in a panic, the queen mother sat down slowly, and then continued: "The Ai family doesn't want to ask any more questions. Since the queen has found out the truth of that night...then the Ai family will not ask any more questions. It's just...you have to take care of it in the future." Well, that niece of yours, don't be..."drugged" easily."
After shedding her gloom, the empress smiled again: "Then...the concubine will thank your mother for your reminder on behalf of that girl."
"By the way..." The Queen Mother looked curious: "I heard that she said that day that she would be the most honorable woman in Ning Kingdom? Isn't the most honorable woman in Ning Kingdom in our palace? Could it be..."
The empress, who originally thought the matter was over, was embarrassed for a moment, but she forced a smile and snatched the words: "The empress mother was joking, she was drugged, she was unconscious, and she didn't remember what nonsense she said."
"Really? But people, when they have those thoughts in their hearts, they will say them when they are unconscious! If she really thinks so, what are you going to do? Take her...into the harem for the emperor?" The queen mother still smiled, just But what he said was extremely sharp.
Aunt and nephew serve a man...
It is extremely ironic to think about it.
The queen's face was naturally gloomy, but since the queen mother was not easy to talk to, she could only reply patiently: "She...should be thinking about Yi'er...After all, Yi'er is the current prince, then...if she marries Yi'er, she will indeed become... the most honorable woman."
Although it was very unpleasant, the queen could only try her best to speak for her good niece.
The queen mother listened, but there was a bit of sneer in the corner of her eyes: "The emperor is still fine, she just wants to be a queen in the future? Ai's words may be a little unpleasant, but you are the daughter-in-law of Ai's family after all, and you have something to say I still have to say, you, don't treat your niece too heartily in the future, be careful...you won't be able to feed her enough."
Seeing that what she said made the queen look complicated, the queen mother felt inexplicably relieved, and then she stood up and was about to leave.
"By the way, that girl Youqing can also be regarded as the little granddaughter of Aijia, you have to treat her better, don't let her be bullied for no reason."
After getting the queen's "sworn" consent, the queen mother left contentedly.
As for the queen, the smile on her face disappeared instantly with the departure of the queen mother.
Instead, his face was full of viciousness.
Ruolan and Ruozhu, who were waiting at the side, hurried forward, Ruozhu said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother...but what did you find?"
The queen snorted coldly: "She must know something, but fortunately... she didn't investigate deeply, otherwise... this matter... really won't be resolved."
「Then the Queen Mother is here…」
"Heh, it's hard to guess what she thinks? After decades of not stepping into this palace, she came here suddenly. She must be thinking of coming over and knocking on this palace, so that I can put away some thoughts!"
Perhaps it was because the queen's expression was too harsh, and her two most trusted servant girls didn't dare to say anything.
"Mother's Empress!" Li Yi came in suddenly, with a trace of surprise on his face: "I just saw the emperor's grandmother. It's really rare for her to come here."
The queen finally relaxed when she saw her son coming, and hurriedly pulled Li Yi to sit down.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Li Yi continued, "Is the imperial grandmother here... is there something?"
The empress didn't have any big reaction, she just smiled lightly and said: "The empress dowager just came here to tell me to help her take good care of Miss Ruan."
Li Yi stared at the Queen suspiciously, seeing that her face was still calm, he believed it.
Then, he remembered that stubborn face again.
Smiled meaningfully, Li Yi said: "Mother, my son thinks that Miss Ruan's family has a good character, so it should be a good marriage."
"What are you talking about!" The queen stood up suddenly, her voice a bit shrill.
Li Yi, who had never been yelled at before, was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned: "Mother...Why are you so excited? Erchen just expressed an idea. Besides... Didn't the mother think that Erchen would marry her before? After all, Ruan Ruan family, you can hold the military power in your hands.”
After realizing that she was a little excited just now, the queen sat back in her seat, took a deep breath and said patiently: "Yi'er, you have seen that person Ruan Youqing before, he looks thin and weak, and he has been suffering from chronic illness. Maybe in the future, it will be difficult to even conceive your heir."
Indeed, without knowing it, Ruan Youqing really doesn't look like a good child.
But Li Yi gave a sinister smile, and replied slowly: "I didn't say that I would marry her as the crown princess. Since they didn't know how to reject it before, don't even think about the position of crown princess."
"Then...?" The queen was a little puzzled by Li Yi's meaning.
Li Yi continued: "I feel that it is enough for her to be a side concubine."
「Can the Ruan family agree?」
「Erchen...you can cook raw rice and cooked rice.」
"Don't provoke the Ruan family."
"My son knows."
Thinking about it for a while, when he was in the Royal Garden just now, Li Yi was very sure that Ruan Youqing must have some kind of interest in him, so... that's why... he found another way to attract his attention
Then... let him do what she wishes!
…
On the other side, Li Ange did not take Ruan Youqing back to the Longevity Palace, but turned his head and walked in another direction.
Ruan Youqing was a little surprised when he saw that the road looked like a hunting ground leading to the north of the palace.
"An Ge, this seems... not the way back to the Longevity Palace?" Ruan Youqing couldn't help asking.
Li Ange, on the other hand, smiled and rubbed his hands with excitement: "Of course not, I'm going to take you to a good place!"
"What a good place?" Ruan Youqing continued to look curious.
Li Ange gave another smirk, and then replied after laughing: "This princess is going to take you to the hunting ground. I heard that a new lion has been hunted there! I will take you there to learn more!"
"Lion... son?" Ruan Youqing seemed to be frightened, and her small face instantly turned pale.
Li Ange patted her on the shoulder in relief, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry! That lion is locked in a cage! It will never come out! And... I will protect you well!"
Seeing that Li Ange really looked forward to it, Ruan Youqing didn't want to spoil her, so he could only agree.
But... a wave of uneasiness rose in her heart.
It always feels like...something is going to happen.
