The most poisonous princess

Chapter 738 Sowing Discord (4)
The incident at the Jinluan Palace quickly reached the ears of the Supreme Emperor of Yangde Palace.

Although the Supreme Emperor Xiao Cong never saw Xiao Huang, but in fact he paid a lot of attention to the affairs of the court, and wanted to find out his son's fault, so as to humiliate him severely, so as to save his face.

But it's hard to fault the son.

Now I heard that Xiao Huang directly told the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace that the queen is equal to him.

Xiao Cong's face turned blue with anger, a woman is equal to him, evil son, he told him so much before, asking him to give up the throne to him, but he refused.

It's good now, it's just that the throne of Jiangshan was given to that woman.

As soon as Xiao Cong looked up and saw the Empress Dowager Lu sitting in the hall, he couldn't help pointing at the Empress Dowager angrily and scolding: "They are all good sons you taught, they are better to a woman than to us."

The more Xiao Cong thought about it, the angrier he became, he paced around the hall angrily, and finally turned around to go out.

Empress Dowager Lu saw him going out, so she got up quickly and said, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Cong said angrily: "Even if he becomes the emperor, I am still his father. If he does this, he violates the ancestral system. If he doesn't take the ancestral system seriously, I will never sit idly by."

After Xiao Cong finished speaking, the Empress Dowager quickly stopped him: "Don't go, he is the emperor, what he does is his business, and the emperor and empress of Donghai Kingdom are here, don't you go to make outsiders watch the joke? Just sit down and calm down."

The queen mother pulled Xiao Cong to sit down and appease his anger.

Although Xiao Cong was angry, he didn't intend to go.

However, he was still angry and resentful. He asked him to take the throne for himself, but he refused. Now it is a good thing, and he directly announced to the courtiers that the queen empress will be equal to him in the future. Doesn't that mean that the woman is better than their parents? Is it more important?
Thinking of this, Xiao Cong felt depressed.

After being out of breath for a long time, the Empress Dowager hurriedly served tea to persuade her.

The two people in the palace were talking, when a eunuch came in from outside the palace and reported: "The Empress Dowager, there are guards coming in in front of the palace gate, saying that someone from Ningfu's Lu family has come to visit the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother is from the Lu family of Ningfu, and her ancestors are all scholars.

This was the marriage that the late emperor chose for King Jing. He was afraid of this younger brother, so why would he tell his younger brother the daughters of those rich and powerful families in the capital? The girl married Prince Jing.

Because Ningfu is a little far away from the capital, so few people from the Lu family usually go to Beijing, but every year there are a lot of souvenirs sent to the capital.

The Lu family has always been kind to this married aunt, knowing that she is having a hard time under the eyes of the emperor, and will not go to Beijing to trouble her.

Now that I heard that my aunt has become the queen mother, someone from the Lu family came.

When the queen mother heard that someone from the Lu family was coming, she immediately smiled happily, and waved to the eunuch: "You go over there and bring him in yourself."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

In the main hall of Yangde Palace, the Empress Dowager's face was full of excitement, and her expression was indescribably joyful.

Taishang Huang Xiao Cong looked at her, and felt that her smile was a bit dazzling, she was so happy that he was so uncomfortable, and he opened his mouth to scold her.

Suddenly thinking about the coming of the Lu family, Xiao Cong suddenly laughed.

At this time, someone from the Lu family came, but it was worth scrutinizing, maybe it was something they wanted.

But according to his understanding of Xiao Huang, even if the Lu family asked for something, that evil son would not grant them.

So Xiao Cong suddenly wanted to see the scene where the queen mother was slapped in the face, and when he thought about it, his painful heart surprisingly calmed down a lot.

One suffers less than two suffer, and one suffers much less when one sees others suffer.

These words are so true, now he just thinks that the queen mother will be slapped in the face by his own son, and his mood improves.

A smile appeared on Xiao Cong's face and he said: "Since there are people from the Lu family, please stay with them well, I'll go to sleep for a while."

The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Cong with a strange face, as if she was so angry that she was on fire before, how could she be so happy again after a while.

But she ignored Xiao Cong, and just waved her hand: "Go."

This time, five members of the Lu family came to Beijing, two wives, two young ladies, and one young master.

The Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, a younger brother and younger sister, the two young ladies are the sister-in-law and the young lady of the younger brother's family, one is called Lu Minxin, the other is called Lu Minyue, and the young master is called Lu Xuan.

The two ladies and the young master are both good-looking.

The queen mother was naturally happy to see that her natal family was so outstanding, and immediately rewarded a lot of things.

Lu Minxin and Lu Minyue looked around, their eyes flickering from time to time, the imperial palace is really not comparable to other places.

It would be great if they could enter the palace.

Mother said that as long as they make aunt like them, they can enter the palace smoothly, then father and the others will definitely enter Beijing as officials.

Thinking of this, the two girls blushed all over their faces. They had heard that the emperor's cousin looked like an immortal, rare and handsome.

I heard that all the women in the capital want to marry the emperor.

But they seem to have heard that the empress is very jealous and won't allow the emperor to accept concubines.

Hmph, they are not afraid of her, they are the empress dowager's own nieces, does the empress dare to confront the empress dowager's aunt?

Thinking about it this way, the two of them were full of confidence.

The queen mother didn't notice the thoughts of the two little girls, she only cared about talking to her sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

"I didn't expect you to come to Beijing this time. After entering Beijing, you will stay in Yangde Palace. When the emperor is free, I will let the emperor come to see you."

After the queen mother finished speaking, the two ladies immediately stood up in fear: "Don't dare, dare not, if the emperor is free later, let's go and visit the emperor."

The queen mother didn't care about this, but asked about the health of her two brothers.

A fair-looking, well-dressed woman with a kind face is the queen mother's sister-in-law. Her surname is Zhao, and she is called Zhao Shi.

The other one was tall and thin, and his face looked a bit harsh. This was the younger brother and sister of the Empress Dowager, surnamed Zhang, known as Zhang's.

When the two women heard that the Queen Mother asked about their man, they immediately tried to speak nicely.

"The master knew that his nephew became the emperor, and he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night."

What Mrs. Zhao said was true, she was so excited, it was like a pie falling from the sky, it hit her all of a sudden, can she not be happy?
Mrs. Zhang also excitedly opened her mouth and rushed to say: "Yes, my master heard that his nephew became the emperor, so he immediately arranged a banquet at the best restaurant in Ningfu, and invited all the respectable people in Ningfu to drink and celebrate. .”

The two women became excited as they talked.

Lu Xuan, who had been standing silently, coughed lightly, reminding his mother and second aunt not to forget the business of entering the palace today.

The two women Zhao and Zhang woke up and finally looked at the queen mother and talked about the business.

"Although the masters are happy, those guys in Ningfu are too open-mouthed. They always ask the master, if the master's nephew has become the emperor, is the master going to Beijing to become an official?"

"Yes, yes, since ancient times, my uncle's family has been close, and my nephew has become the emperor. Don't you need someone to help him? If the uncles are in the capital, they can help him. Let's see who dares to criticize him behind his back, our master will definitely not forgive him. them."

After Mrs. Zhao and Ms. Zhang finished speaking, the queen mother already understood their intentions. It seemed that two brothers from her family wanted to become officials in Beijing.

The queen mother thought about it, she had not helped her elder brother at all for so many years, now that her son has finally become the emperor, it is feasible for them to come to Beijing as officials.

What's more, if my sister-in-law and younger siblings come to Beijing to find me, if she doesn't even help with this, I'm afraid that people in her natal family will look down on her in the future. After all these years, I haven't helped them, and they don't care about it. Send them to the capital in the same way.

So this time, she will definitely help them no matter what.

The queen mother made up her mind and said with a faint smile, "These are trivial matters."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Zhao and Zhang settled down. The Queen Mother's words were guaranteed, so they were naturally relieved.

After Zhao and Zhang finished talking about this matter, they stretched out their hands and pulled their daughter into their arms, and said to the Queen Mother.

"The empress dowager will inevitably be lonely in the palace in the future, so we thought it would be good to send them into the palace to accompany the empress dowager."

"Yes, yes, we are relieved to have them accompany the queen mother in the palace."

The Empress Dowager looked at Lu Minxin and Lu Minyue. The two girls were both fifteen or sixteen years old. Although they were not the most beautiful, they were as delicate as flowers.

These two are my nieces, the Queen Mother naturally likes them.

But the queen mother is not a fool, after hearing what Zhao and Zhang said, she already understood what they meant, that she wanted to send these two daughters into the palace as concubines.

But the queen mother thought of what Xiao Huang said before, that he would not accept concubines.

The Empress Dowager didn't dare to answer this question anymore, she looked at Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhang and said: "They have reached the age of marriage, it's time to get married, why bother to stay in the palace with me, an old woman."

Lu Min has a rather anxious temper. Hearing what the Queen Mother said, he immediately became anxious.

"Auntie Queen Mother, we don't want to marry anyone else. If we want to marry, we must marry our cousin, so that we can accompany Auntie."

"Yes, aunt, don't drive us away, we are willing to accompany you."

Lu Minyue was born delicate and naive, it really hurts her to act like a baby.

What's more, Lu Minyue looks a bit like the Empress Dowager's younger brother, and the Empress Dowager fell in love with her when she saw her, as if she saw her younger brother.

But the queen mother thought of Xiao Huang's character, but she dared not answer for a long time.

Mrs. Zhao had already inquired about the situation in the capital before entering Beijing, so she naturally knew why the Queen Mother was in such a difficult situation.

Mrs. Zhao felt indescribably angry: "Your Majesty, I know why you are so embarrassing. You must be afraid that the Empress will not agree, so you are embarrassing, but Empress Dowager, you are the emperor's mother and the empress' mother-in-law. Why should she not?" Agreed."

"Don't talk about being in the palace, even in our house, we dare not disobey our mother-in-law. She is very unfilial."

"We in Western Chu rule the world with filial piety. If the empress dares to confront the empress dowager, the empress dowager will punish her for a serious crime. Let's see if she dares."

"The empress dowager is the mother of the emperor, so why are you afraid that she will fail as a little empress?"
