Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup on the table and poured it directly towards the Queen who was kneeling in front of her.

The queen did not dodge and was splashed with tea in her face.

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with an indifferent face: "Have you been the Queen for so long that you have forgotten that you are the daughter of the Jiang family? You actually acted like a knife in the Emperor's hand and swung it at the Ai family and the Jiang family."

The queen raised her eyes and looked at the queen mother, and said calmly: "Aunt, stop it, the Jiang family can't fight against the emperor."

The Queen Mother immediately sneered: "What kind of ecstasy soup did the emperor pour into you to make you so afraid of him? I think back then, the late emperor favored the Wan family so much that he almost deposed the empress. In such a difficult situation, the Ai family could not help but

Has it turned around too?"

"The emperor thought that because his wings were strong, he could no longer take the Ai family and the Jiang family seriously. He also didn't think about it. If it weren't for the Ai family, would he have been able to sit on the throne?"

"The Aijia can push him to the top, and naturally he can pull him down!"

Looking at the mad Queen Mother, the Queen was filled with powerlessness: "Aunt, the Emperor is not the late Emperor. The late Emperor ignored government affairs and was obsessed with women. Only then can you and your father's scheme succeed."

"But your Majesty is different. He is civilized and military, and has a lot of loyal ministers and good generals. You can't use the same methods you used to deal with the late Emperor to deal with him."

"Aunt, just listen to my advice and stop going against the emperor. In this way, maybe the Jiang family can still have a way out."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother sneered again and again and looked at the Queen with a ridiculous face: "Thank you for being the Queen, why are you so naive? The Emperor and the Jiang family have long been incompatible."

Seeing that she could not persuade the Queen Mother, the Queen finally had no choice but to leave Cining Palace in despair again.

Walking on the corridor of the palace, the look in the queen's eyes became more and more determined.

Even if she is a queen, she does not have much say in family affairs. Now with the death of her eldest brother and nephew, her aunt and father have long lost their sense.

She is unable to save her family, and the only thing she can do now is to protect her Lekang.

After the queen left, the queen mother stayed in the Buddhist hall for most of the day, and then sent someone to summon the third prince to come in and talk.

Ever since the third prince knew that the Queen Mother was not the emperor's biological mother, he had been trying to find a way to distance himself from the Jiang family. However, it was difficult to get off the boat. Faced with the Queen Mother's summons, he did not dare not go.

"Grandma Imperial, do you have anything to do with your grandson?"

The Queen Mother looked at the third prince indifferently. At this moment, she was too lazy to act any more and went straight to the point: "Xiao Yeyang is investigating the treasure, do you know?"

The third prince's heart tightened: "Didn't my father suspend his duties?"

The Queen Mother sneered: "Okay, don't play tricks in front of the Ai family. The Ai family doesn't believe that you don't know that this is just what the emperor did for outsiders to see."

As he spoke, he snorted heavily.

"You took half of the treasure that was carried out. If Xiao Yeyang finds out that you actually got your hands on the treasure left by the eight kings, do you think that after the emperor finds out, will he hate your son even more?"

The third prince turned pale and looked at the Queen Mother blankly.

At this moment, what he still doesn't understand is that he accidentally discovered the treasure map left by Xiao Yechi in Duke Chengen's Mansion. It was all a trap set by the Queen Mother and Duke Chengen for him.

The Queen Mother looked at the third prince indifferently: "Don't be so bitter and hateful. The Aijia asked you, do you want to sit on the throne? Do you think based on your impression in the emperor's heart, he will pass the throne to you? The chance is

What you strive for yourself is not something you have to wait for.”

The third prince frowned: "Grandmother, what do you want from me?"

Queen Mother: "You don't want Xiao Yeyang to continue investigating, do you? Find a way to stop him."

The third prince smiled bitterly: "Xiao Yeyang didn't investigate openly, how can I stop him?"

The Queen Mother showed disgust: "If you don't use your brain and can't stop him head-on, then let him get caught up in other things." After saying that, she sneered, "For example, once something happened to Yan Yi, you said he was still

Are you in the mood to investigate other matters?"

The third prince thought thoughtfully. As a member of the royal family, he knew that he would fight for it when he was very young. He has never been a soft-hearted person.

He knew that his father was very sensitive to everything about the Eight Kings, so the fact that he took the treasure left by Xiao Yechi would never be exposed.

The third prince pondered the Queen Mother's words for a moment, then left the palace in deep thought. As soon as he returned to the palace, he asked the third prince's concubine: "I remember there is a banquet at Prince Ping's mansion tomorrow, right?"

The third princess nodded: "Xiao Yeyang was established as the crown prince, and Uncle Ping Wang sent a message to the clan members, asking them to come and get together."

The third prince pondered for a moment: "You go and choose two better gifts, and I will go with you tomorrow."

......

Prince Ping's Mansion.

Concubine Jiang came to Concubine Ji's yard for the first time.

Concubine Ji welcomed the person into the house with a smile: "Why do you want to come to my place, sister?"

Concubine Jiang: "Isn't this too busy? Tell me, when we were in charge of the palace, we didn't have any free time all day long, so we just wanted to rest more. But now that we don't care about anything, we feel uncomfortable all over."

Concubine Ji smiled and said: "I'm okay. It's good to just enjoy flowers or something if you have nothing to do."

Seeing that Concubine Ji didn't answer, Concubine Jiang had to take the initiative and said: "Today is the day when the palace invites everyone to have a banquet. I originally thought that it was the first time for Concubine Ji to do such a big thing, so she would inevitably be busy. Maybe she would

Come to us for help, who would think..."

Concubine Ji smiled and took over the words: "Who would have thought that the Crown Princess would take care of everything in an orderly manner, busy and not chaotic, and she doesn't need our help at all."

Concubine Jiang sighed: "Isn't it true? I thought that the Crown Princess was from a small family and had limited knowledge and ability, so she couldn't handle a banquet of the royal palace's standards. However, she managed it very well. I really underestimated her before.

”

Concubine Ji smiled faintly: "The Crown Prince is a person with high aspirations. How can the person he likes only have looks? Look at how harmoniously the prince and Crown Prince get along with each other now. The Crown Prince here is

Out of great force."

While the two were chatting, Daohua was smiling and leading the women to Pingxi Hall to talk.

Because of the news that the Queen Mother was not the biological mother of the Emperor, everyone became less worried. The palace was extremely lively today, and everyone who posted the message had people coming.

Xiao Yeyang is in the front yard, entertaining the male family members; in the backyard, Daohua is in charge alone.

This time many members of the royal family came. Although Daohua was a junior, she had Princess Yong and Princess Huijia to help her calm down the situation, so everyone gave her some respect and nothing happened.

Among the guests, Mrs. Li watched her daughter move around among the princesses, princes, and princesses with ease, becoming more and more like a mistress of the house, with a happy smile on her face.

After a busy day, Daohua felt that her face was almost frozen with laughter.

After dinner, after seeing off the clan's female relatives, Daohua took Mrs. Li's arm and walked towards the door: "Mom, my daughter is really busy today and didn't even entertain you and sister-in-law properly. Don't be angry with me.

Ah."

Mrs. Li glanced sideways at Daohua: "There is no need to say such things to my mother-in-law." After saying that, she glanced at Han Xinran and said, "Your sister-in-law and I both understand."

Han Xinran immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, eldest sister, we don't need to be so polite at all. But, I see that you are really tired today, why don't you find someone to help you share the burden?"

Daohua: "Today is the first banquet I have hosted after taking over the palace. We can't make any mistakes. Everyone in the palace has their own ideas. I don't dare to use them. However, in the future, unimportant banquets can be made to the palace."

A few girls here are practicing their skills."

Han Xinran smiled and said: "It is a blessing for the girl in the palace to have a sister-in-law like you who is willing to teach the housekeeper and govern."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Don't praise her, she is just lazy and wants to hide in leisure."

Daohua smiled and leaned on Mrs. Li's shoulder: "Mom still understands me best."

While talking, the three of them arrived at the gate of the palace.

Daohua watched Mrs. Li and Han Xinran get on the carriage, then turned around and entered the palace. Since she was in the palace to see off Mrs. Li, Daohua did not bring the plum orchid, plum and chrysanthemum, but only two maids.
