Chapter 1013 Quotes

"The Queen Mother..." The Queen Mother glared at Princess Ruian angrily, her eyes almost bursting with fire.

"This is good!" said an old lady sitting next to him.

"That's indeed the truth. Let's deal with it this way, Queen Mother. As for yesterday's incident, let the Ministry of Punishment investigate clearly. Which family in Shixun's family can hide and investigate the case so casually? Even my family doesn't know about it. Women’s family is a small matter, but if there are other things involved, it will be a big deal!”

The eldest princess Ruiping also nodded. Her words made the other ladies think that this should be the case. If this kind of thing happens once or twice, it will be her turn next time.

If it was for that kind of political matter, it would make sense to hide and solve the case, but this kind of method should be used for such a family matter? If there is nothing going on in the house, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment handle the case like this, they will have to reveal everything. This is not possible, absolutely not possible.

"This kind of thing... I have never heard of it. The Ministry of Punishment should really blame itself!"

"If the matter at home is reported to the front of the case, we need to find out clearly why she did what this villain did and hid secretly. Besides, there must be no other mystery behind it. If Princess Chen had taken the medicine at that time, she did not have strong control. Who knows what will happen!”

"Yes, that's the truth!" ...

Several ladies were talking about it, and the Queen Mother's words had long been buried in everyone's words. The Queen Mother did not hear her words at all.

Only Shao Wanru, who had been paying attention to Mrs. Tai, heard a little bit and glanced sideways at Mrs. Tai, with a trace of silent ridicule in his eyes.

At this time, the wife still wanted to protect the Jiang family, which can be said to be a deep love between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Come here, ask the imperial doctor to go to the Xingguo Marquis Mansion to check on Jiang's condition. If it is still stable, the trip to the Ministry of Punishment will definitely be completed!" The Queen Mother made the final decision.

The madam swayed and almost fainted.

The dignified Madam Xingguo Hou is really going to be tried in front of the Ministry of Justice. This is such a shameful thing. Mr. Jiang, if Ms. Jiang is smart, she should do as she says.

"Help Madam, please get up. The ground is very cold here!" the Queen Mother said calmly.

Two maids came over and helped the lady up, still sitting on the chair on one side, and then stepped aside.

"The Empress Dowager, let Marquis Xingguo handle the affairs of Marquis Xingguo by himself. You don't have to worry too much. Your birthday is coming soon. You should be happy at this time!" Princess Ruiping said with a smile, This brought up the unpleasant topic just now.

"Yuan An has already prepared the birthday gift for the Queen Mother!" Princess Yuan An immediately came to join in the fun.

This pair of grandparents and grandchildren also cooperated very well, and the dull atmosphere just now was swept away between two sentences.

Shao Wanru glanced at the smiling Princess Yuan'an calmly. He heard that Princess Yuan'an was also a popular person in front of the Queen Mother. Now that she saw it, it turned out to be true.

Princess Yuan'an was extremely smart in front of the Queen Mother.

"I'm afraid Chen'er won't have time to return to Beijing this time!" The Queen Mother sighed, thinking of her grandson.

"His Royal Highness Chen Wang is the most filial. Even if it is too late to return to the capital, this gift must have been prepared early!" Princess Yuan'an said jokingly.

The Queen Mother laughed when she said this, "Chen'er did send the gifts to the Ai family early, but since he went out so far this time, the Ai family is really worried, so it would be best if he comes back early!"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, her brows wrinkled slightly again, with a look of worry on her face.

Princess Yuan'an rolled her eyes and smiled more and more gently: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, His Highness Prince Chen is just sending people to the border. Naturally, he will not go. Even if something happens, he will be safe. .”

Chu Liuchen sent the envoy to the border and then sent troops to the border, without having to personally take part in the danger.

"Although I say this, the Ai family always feels uneasy. Chen'er himself is not in good health. This time, the Ai family is always worried about walking such a long distance." The Queen Mother sighed, as long as she thought of herself Her grandson has traveled such a long way and stayed in such a dangerous place. The Queen Mother has not been able to eat or sleep well these days, for fear that something might happen accidentally.

"Grandma Imperial, don't worry. The prince knows that you are so worried, and I am afraid he will miss you too." Shao Wanru said softly.

"Empress Dowager, Prince Chen has always been filial. You are so kind to him, and you don't even care about your own birthday. How can you let him rest assured!" Princess Ruian also advised.

"That's all I can think about now. I hope he comes back soon. The country of Yao is not a good place to live in!" The country of Yao is too far away, and the Queen Mother has only heard of it. Everything about the country feels strange. very.

The emperor also implicitly mentioned some of the things that happened before to the Queen Mother, saying that they involved the country of Ao.

"The Queen Mother, I heard that some remnants of the previous dynasty fled to the country of Ao. Is it true?" A lady suddenly remembered this matter and asked.

"That's what they said. They also said that more than ten years ago, those who rebelled were killed, but there were still some who slipped through the net." Another lady said.

Shao Wanru didn't answer, but his eyes flickered slightly and he concentrated.

What happened more than ten years ago, when her father was here, is what she is most concerned about now.

Although these ladies won't know anything, they might be able to get some unexpected revelations from their words.

"That's what I heard. It seems that there were people who fled to Yao Country at that time, and there were people there to help them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been found as soon as they entered." Princess Ruiping said.

"Really? What about such a trip to the country..." A lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise.

If this is really the case, the trip to Ao country will not be so easy to solve!

"His Royal Highness King Chen is not on an envoy, he is just at the border. With so many troops pressing on the border, the country of Ao does not dare to do anything. Yuan'an heard that the country of Ao seems to want to make good friends with us and send the princess to marry!" Princess Yuanan smiled.

"Princess from the country of Ao? I heard that the mountains and rivers in that kind of place are dangerous, so the so-called princess is probably not very good either." Another lady said with disdain.

Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat, the princess of Ao country? The hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly. It seemed a little familiar, but it was a bit hard to remember. Could it be that there had been such a period in my memory, but it disappeared in the end?

Why didn't I feel surprised when I first heard it?

"The princess of Ao Kingdom is going to marry here. Is it true or false?"

"Yuan An doesn't know either. I heard that there is a princess in the country of Ao who admires the splendor of our celestial dynasty. Now that I think about it, I really don't know the details. It might just be hearsay. That was what Yuan An heard from passers-by when he was traveling one day. ." Princess Yuanan lowered her head shyly and apologized to the Queen Mother, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother, for telling the story that Yuanan heard from hearsay to the Queen Mother!"

"It's nothing, it's all trivial. That's what you said too." The Queen Mother comforted her gently, and then asked with concern, "Are all passers-by saying this?"

"Not everyone said that. When Yuan An was traveling that day, someone happened to say so. Later, when I looked for these two people, I couldn't find them!" Princess Yuan An said in confusion, "I originally wanted to ask more, Where did they hear it, but in the blink of an eye these two disappeared, and they didn't take it seriously after that, they just said it casually."

Therefore, this matter has no shadow and no roots. If you want to check it, you can't find it on Princess Yuan'an. It was originally what she heard. It's true and false, true and false. Princess Yuan'an is really not simple.

Shao Wanru picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, then slowly put it down.

Jingxin and calmly continued to listen to what Princess Yuanan and the Queen Mother said. If it was really baseless, would Princess Yuanan really send these words to the Queen Mother?

The answer is of course no. Princess Yuan'an is not that easy to deal with. Judging from the way she has tried her best to help him in the past two days, you know that she is tolerant.

Except for the day when she was a bit confused because of the confrontation with her, Princess Yuanan was very calm the rest of the time.

If it is true, then Chu Liuchen at the border will be in some trouble.

Biting her cherry lips, swallowing the flutter in her heart, she continued to listen to their words.

"So what if you marry a princess? She's just a princess from a small country in a wild land. How could she still want to marry a prince?" A lady curled her lips in disdain, looking down on the so-called princess of Ao country.

Of the four princes, three are either married or have already set a wedding date. In fact, only King Xin is left now, but King Xin will definitely not be willing to marry some wild princess. The ladies all feel that even if there is a princess from the country of Ao, he really wants to marry. Come here, there’s no chance!

"Prince Qing is not married, is he?" A lady suddenly asked.

"No, but I heard they were engaged!" Another lady answered hesitantly.

"Prince Qing was engaged to be married, or his own mother and concubine arranged it for him early. He is from a very humble background." Seeing everyone's eyes looking at her, the Queen Mother said calmly.

He was of a young family background, but the Empress Dowager didn’t take it seriously when he mentioned it. It seemed that he wasn’t liked by the Empress Dowager anymore?

The ladies were all smart and understood immediately, but think about it, the other ones were all married with the Empress Dowager’s approval and were directly granted marriage, but this one was the only one with a low reputation. Judging from the Empress Dowager’s appearance, , I have never seen it before. Basically, the emperor or the queen mother has the final say in the marriage affairs of the royal family members. This one is just a concubine, and she is also a concubine who is locked up. She dares to make the decision for the prince of the Qing Dynasty to choose a wife. , and I don’t know who gave her face.

"The Queen Mother, it's not good, Mrs. Xingguo Hou committed suicide by hitting a pillar!" A palace maid hurriedly ran in, panting and saying.

The lady who was sitting on the chair stared, and then her body slipped down silently. She didn't have time to say a word...
