Chapter 601 Changes in the Queen Mother (1)
"What's wrong with Mother?" The queen frowned and asked as she looked at the queen mother who rushed in with a group of people.
The Empress Dowager stared at the Queen fiercely and said sternly: "Where is the Tenth Prince?" The Queen looked at the Queen Mother quietly and asked lightly: "Tenth Prince? What is the Queen Mother asking for this?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "The Tenth Prince is about to ascend the throne. As his grandmother, who else can teach him if he doesn't teach him?" The Queen refused calmly: "The New Emperor's Free Grand Tutor and the court officials will not bother with the Queen. What's more, the New Emperor has not registered yet, and the Queen Mother is the one who will be buried with his father. It is not appropriate to meet each other."
Obviously, the Queen Mother has really made the Queen angry these days, otherwise the Queen would never have said such words with her temperament.
The empress dowager was so angry that her face turned blue and white. She pointed at the empress's hand and shook for a while before saying, "Rare! Hua, although you are the queen, you can't leave half a prince for the emperor. The Ai family is right to see that the person to be buried with you is you!" The empress dowager was very jealous of the leisurely and graceful queen in front of her. Although the empress has no son and even her only daughter is missing. However, no one can touch her on the surface. Not only because she is the daughter of the Hua family, but also because he is the emperor's original wife, the legitimate mother of the emperor, and the legitimate mother of all princes and princesses. No matter which prince ascends the throne, she must be respected as the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager had to admit that even if she looked down on Concubine Liu and hated Concubine Liu, she was actually the same as Concubine Liu. No matter how favored she was or how many children she had, without the title of a legitimate wife, they did not even have the right to refuse to be buried alive.
The queen lowered her eyes and said calmly: "It's a pity that the emperor had no intention of letting me accompany me before he died. Mother, I think you should go back to the palace to rest earlier. Not only do I have to make a decision, but I am afraid that the new emperor will not make a decision for a while. If the mother has something to say, it would be better to go to King Li to say it."
The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth. Of course, she wanted to find Mo Jingli. But since the emperor passed away, Mo Jingli never came to the palace to invite her. Even if she accidentally entered the palace, she would come to pay homage to the queen to discuss the new emperor's ascension. By the time she got the news, Mo Jingli had already left the palace. Now the empress dowager's rights have been cut off, and it is very inconvenient to do anything. The Empress Dowager knew that Mo Jingli was determined to ignore him.
"Empress, what are you talking about? The Ai family is just here to see the tenth prince." The empress dowager held back her anger and gritted her teeth.
The emperor's grandmother wanted to see her grandson, so she naturally had to let her see her. Just as the tenth prince woke up, the queen could only ask someone to invite the tenth prince out.
After getting the queen's concession, the queen mother sat down and drank the tea brought by the palace maid. She had time to see Ye Li sitting aside. The queen mother had a bad impression of Ye Li, not that she had any opinions about Ye Li herself. But she had a different position from the beginning. Now that she is in danger of her own life, Ye Li has become the only wife of Ding. The name of Princess Ding is as famous as King Ding. This makes the empress dowager, who originally claimed to be a generation of heroines, feel comfortable to look at.
"Princess Ding?" the empress dowager frowned.
"It's right. I've seen the Queen Mother." Ye Li put down the teacup and smiled slightly. She was sitting leisurely in the chair on the left of the queen. She didn't look like a famous female hero in the world, but like a picture of an elegant and quiet lady.
The Empress Dowager knew that there was nothing she could say to Ye Li, so she snorted and stopped talking.
After a while, the tenth prince tidied up his clothes and walked out from inside. Naturally, behind him was his biological mother. The tenth prince's biological mother was originally named Li, and after giving birth to the tenth prince, he was named Li Guiren. Now people in the palace call him Empress Li. Perhaps because he was humble since childhood, he suddenly became the most noble woman in the world on the branches. Li's panic is actually not inferior to the tenth prince, so she often loses her behavior and is as trembling as if she was shocked. Such a petty family naturally cannot enter the eyes of the queen mother and son. Looking at the trembling mother and son in front of her, the queen mother snorted unhappily.
Li was startled, stepped back and fell down and knelt on the ground, "I... I have seen the Empress Dowager." Li had only met the Empress Dowager several times before, and he just kowtowed from a distance. The empress dowager's status is naturally not something that a low-ranking concubine like her can get in touch. At this moment, he suddenly heard the empress dowager snorting coldly, and subconsciously knelt down as soon as his legs were weak.
The queen frowned in displeasure, but was extremely helpless. Li could not blame her for being so timid, but it was really a headache for the new emperor's biological mother to be so unfair. The tenth prince on the side saw her mother kneeling suddenly, and was frightened to kneel down.
A jade hand gently held his arm. Even a woman's hand was not a force that a small seven-year-old child could not compete with. The tenth prince naturally couldn't kneel down and couldn't help but look at the person who was pulling him next to him in panic. Ye Li sat in the chair, looking at the child with big eyes in front of him with a smile, and smiled and said, "Men have gold under their knees, so they should not kneel down at will as men."
The tears were already in his eyes. The child who wanted to cry looked blankly at the woman with a gentle smile in front of him, forgot to cry for a moment. He only felt that the woman in blue in front of him was very gentle and kind, which made him feel more comfortable and safe than staying by his mother's side. It seemed that his heart, which was already afraid, gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but lean on Ye Li quietly.
The queen then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li and said, "Sister, what are you doing? You can't get up. Why don't you hurry up and help Empress Li get up."
The palace maids who were waiting around quickly helped Li get up and sat down in the chair on the side. Li looked at the queen and the queen mother in a little uneasy, and looked at Ye Li, who was smiling at her son opposite him, and was helplessly stying the gorgeous corners of her clothes embroidered with gold silk.
At this time, the Empress Dowager had already sunk and slapped the table and said sternly: "Princess Ding, what do you mean? As the grandmother of the tenth prince, can't I bear this worship?"
Ye Li smiled without saying a word, lowered her head to comfort the frightened tenth prince. The queen said calmly: "Heaven, Earth, Master, Mother, are you sure you want to accept this worship?" Although the tenth prince has not officially ascended the throne, he has been the emperor of the Great Chu since the moment the will was promulgated. As an emperor, even his own mother does not need to worship him. What's more, was that the ritual just now? It was clearly the tenth prince and Li who were scared to kneel down by the empress dowager. If this kneeling is really true, that would be a big laughing stock.
The Empress Dowager suppressed her anger and squeezed out a smile at the tenth prince and said, "Su Yun, come here and let the emperor and grandmother take a look."
The tenth prince had never seen any grandmother of the emperor. He only felt that the old woman with a ferocious face in front of him was very terrifying, so he hurriedly hid behind Ye Li. The queen mother's eyes were slightly dark, but she was not angry. She took out a jade pendant and shook it, and said, "Come on, let the emperor grandmother see, this is the meeting gift given to you by the emperor grandmother."
