Chapter 970

Wang Mengyao immediately felt guilty. The more she thought about Du Yan, the more worried she became. The purpose of holding a palace banquet today is to find her a husband's family.

Wang Mengyao looked up at Xiao Wenyu and said, "Lord Xie and Mrs. Zhou Guo returned to the capital. The concubine is very happy, so I specially announced that the married woman enters the palace to celebrate this event. Does Your Majesty think it's inappropriate?"

Xiao Wenyu sneered, looked at Wang Mengyao and said coldly: "Wang Mengyao, don't treat others as fools, and don't have too long hands in the future."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Wang Mengyao was stunned behind him. She knew that His Majesty knew the purpose of her attack, but soon she didn't feel that she was wrong.

"Yes, the concubine wants to show Du Yanxiang a family. You see, the concubines who announced their entry into the palace today are all rich and powerful wives and wives of the clan. Although Du Yan is good-looking, he has no background after all. The concubine pointed out to her Isn't a high family worthy of her?"

Xiao Wenyu sneered, didn't want to pay attention to this woman anymore, turned around and walked out, Wang Mengyao cried out from behind: "Your Majesty, have you taken a fancy to her? So as soon as I heard that the concubine gave her a favor, I couldn't wait to come over and slap the concubine in the face." .”

Xiao Wenyu just felt that this woman was unreasonable, this time he did not hold back like before, but directly admitted: "Yes, I have taken a fancy to her, and you are not worthy of being a queen, don't be in charge of the palace anymore. Now that it’s done, the palace affairs will be handed over to you?”

Xiao Wenyu thought for a while, wondering who should hand over the palace affairs, and finally thought of Concubine Nie who came from Duke Wu's mansion. Although Concubine Nie's position was not high, she came from a respectable family, and it was easy to handle palace affairs.

"Leave the palace affairs to Concubine Nie from now on."

The queen was paralyzed, and Xiao Wenyu left without looking back.

In the evening, the prince got the news and rushed over to appease the queen.

"Mother, don't be sad. The father only temporarily accepted the imperial power of the mother, and will definitely return it to the mother later."

Wang Mengyao didn't feel happy when she heard the prince's words. On the contrary, she yelled sharply: "Why, why did he treat me like this? He is clearly slapping me in the face. People inside and outside the palace know about it. They will always laugh at me behind my back, even if I take over the imperial power in the future, others will look down on me."

At the end, she burst into tears.

The prince comforted her and said: "Queen, don't cry, no one will laugh at you. Apart from being a queen, you are also an orphaned queen mother. In the future, you will still be the queen mother when you are alone. Those people dare not laugh at you."

The prince felt a headache, why did the father and the queen make such a fuss.

He couldn't figure it out.

The queen took his hand and cried: "No, you can go to him and ask him to take back his life and apologize to me."

The prince didn't move, he knew it was useless to say it, since his father made a decision, he would not change it easily.

Seeing that the prince didn't move, the queen yelled angrily: "Are you still born to me? Your father likes you very much. Go and speak for me, and he will definitely listen."

The prince was helpless, frowned and said: "Go to the father, he will not change, so, go to the grandfather and grandmother, let them come forward and talk to the father, let the father take back the order."

When the queen heard the prince's words, she became angry all of a sudden, and screamed: "Don't mention them, it's all them, they're the ones who caused me to be like this/"

After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the prince as if thinking of something: "Jing'er, you were born by your mother's queen. Remember that your closest relative is your mother. In the future, you will rule the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You must be filial to your mother, and don't get close to thank you." Family, that family is full of scheming, they are not idle people, you must not get too close to them."

The prince heard the empress's words getting more and more outrageous, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

But the queen looked at the prince stubbornly: "Look, you have already been wooed by them, this is the scary thing about the Xie family, Jinger, you have to know who you should trust and who you shouldn't. "

The prince said helplessly: "I already know, let the queen mother stop talking about it."

The queen's eyes flickered, and she decided in her heart that she would resolutely not allow the prince to have more contact with the Xie family in the future. Otherwise, her own son would be raised for nothing, which is equivalent to raising the Xie family. Just look at the emperor Xiao Wenyu.

Wang Mengyao urged the prince to find Xiao Wenyu while thinking, so that Xiao Wenyu could withdraw his life.

The prince responded with his mouth, but he made up his mind to go to Xie's house to find his grandfather and grandmother. As long as the two of them show up, the father and the emperor will definitely not embarrass the mother.

The Xie family was having dinner at this time. In the spacious dining room, there were three tables, one for the adults, one for the wives, and one for the children.

Qin Mo and Du Yan accompanied Lu Jiao to sit at the main table for dinner.

Everyone was talking about what the queen did today, Xie Yunjin subconsciously turned cold when he heard the queen.

"This woman is really unreasonable. I don't know what to think all day long. It's pitiful that Your Majesty has such a person."

Everyone in the dining room agreed with Xie Yunjin's words, and everyone felt that the fourth child was the most unlucky to have a wife like the queen.

Xie Wenyao suddenly thought of the prince, and said slowly: "Will the prince be influenced by her and have any opinion on my Xie family?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, and no one could speak for a while.

To be honest, the prince is very close to the Xie family at the moment, but he is only ten years old, and because he was brought up by Wang Mengyao, he is very close to Wang Mengyao, the queen mother. Although he went to Ningzhou with Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao later, he is still very close close to this queen.

If Wang Mengyao brainwashed the crown prince all day long, there is no guarantee that the crown prince will alienate the Xie family one day, and the Xie family may not be able to retreat unscathed by then.

Xie Yunjin raised her eyebrows and thought for a while and said: "You guys are thinking too far. The crown prince is young now, and His Majesty is still young. No one knows what will happen in the future."

Having said that, but the heart is heavy after all, Sibao loves the prince very much, thanks to everyone in the family for knowing this.

Lu Jiao looked at the solemnity of the hall, smiled and said, "Okay, I think you guys are really thinking too much. His Majesty is only twenty-seven years old, young and in good health, and I believe he has his own mind, no It will really split the prince and the Xie family."

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "Eat."

After the words fell, someone hurriedly ran in to report: "My lord, madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought someone here."

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao glanced at each other quickly, what is the prince doing here right now?

But no matter what he did, he quickly got up with his family, not to mention that the prince was young, he was the prince of the Great Zhou after all, and they, as courtiers, could not welcome him.

As soon as the group of people went out, the crown prince came over with a group of people, and when he saw Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, he called affectionately: "Grandfather, grandma."

Xie Yunjin looked at the prince. Right now, the prince is still very close to the Xie family, so he wondered if he would be influenced by his mother and criticize the Xie family.

Xie Yunjin said softly while thinking: "Why are you out of the palace? Have you finished your dinner? Do you want some."

The prince shook his head: "No need, I have something to do with my grandparents."

When Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao heard this, their hearts sank. They both thought about what happened when they left the palace today. If nothing else, His Majesty must have punished the Empress. The Crown Prince probably came here to make them come forward to persuade them to make peace.

If they disagreed, there would be no cracks in the prince's heart.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao thought in their hearts, but their faces remained calm.

The two quickly said, "Your Highness, please follow us."

A few people walked towards the main hall, Xie Wenyao and Xie Wenyu looked at each other, and there was a flash of worry in their eyes at the same time. Not surprisingly, the prince must have sought Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao for the Queen's business.

If the parents don't agree, I'm afraid the prince will be unhappy.

In the main hall, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao had just sat down when the crown prince said, "Grandfather, grandmother, I came to Xie's house alone to ask you to persuade father and emperor not to accept the power of the queen mother. The two old men, please persuade the father to reconcile with the queen mother."

Xie Yunjin looked at the prince, and said calmly, "Why does the prince insist on asking us to persuade your father?"

The prince smiled and said: "Because the father listens to the words of the grandfather and grandmother."

Xie Yunjin said with a smile: "Really? Because he listens to us, do we want him to compromise? He doesn't like your mother, so we have to let him endure and reconcile with your mother? Has the prince thought about a problem? Why? You insist on making your father humiliate, instead of making your mother humiliate, the two of them have come to where they are today, it is all caused by your mother, why don't you let your mother restrain yourself and coax your father."

After Xie Yunjin's series of words, the prince was stunned. He was only ten years old, and he didn't think about the problem so carefully. He only wanted to let the father and the emperor reconcile with the mother, and he didn't think about so many reasons at all.

Hearing Xie Yunjin's words at this time, he couldn't speak for a moment.

Lu Jiao said softly: "Your Highness, it's not that we don't help you, but that we can't make His Majesty unhappy. He was raised by us, and we hope he is happy. Since he has taken your mother's power over the palace affairs, it means Your mother has made him unhappy, if we persuade him to reconcile with your mother, it will be to make him unhappy."

"There are differences between people who are close or distant. It's like you are closer to your mother in your heart. We are closer to His Majesty, so we don't want to make His Majesty unhappy."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, the crown prince felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly said, "Grandmother, no, I also want my father to be happy, it's them, it's not good for them."

How bad it is, the prince can't tell why.
