Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 164 Mother-in-law’s hypocrisy

Several generals laughed, and one of them said reluctantly: "My lord, if you are afraid of henpecks, just be henpecked. If you are a man, just admit it readily, and you will not lose any flesh on your body!"

Changsun Tao raised the corners of his lips: "The princess is too weak, and I can't bear to hurt her."

Several generals teased again, and then walked to other tables arm in arm.

Yu Qinghuan held the tea cup close to her mouth and didn't put it down for a long time.

"What, are you addicted to drinking?" Chang Sun Tao looked at her sideways.

Yu Qinghuan held the teacup tighter and turned to the other side without answering him.

"Princess?" Changsun Tao pulled her bun, "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Qinghuan turned around holding the cup and met his bright eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she could barely hold the cup in her hand.

So fast, so fast, my heart is beating so fast!

She seems to be dying!

Just when Yu Qinghuan was at a loss, Chang Sun Yi came over with a wine glass, first gave Chang Sun Tao a junior gift, and then asked Yu Qinghuan doubtfully: "Auntie Huang, why do you keep biting the tea cup?"

Yu Qinghuan quickly put down the cup and said, "I like to eat dirt, isn't that okay?"

Changsun Yi said: "Auntie Huang can eat whatever she likes."

As he spoke, Changsun Yi raised the cup and said solemnly: "Auntie Huang's words really enlightened me. Thank you Auntie Huang for your advice."

Yu Qinghuan smiled: "I will never thank you for your kindness. As an elder, you should care for the younger generation."

Changsun Yi drank the wine in his glass, nodded and walked away.

Changsun Tao gave him a meaningful look and his eyes flashed.

At this time, the Queen Mother said that she was tired and asked Yu Qinghuan to send her back by name, which made the Queen grit her teeth again.

Yu Qinghuan stood up, walked to the Queen Mother, stretched out her hand, and asked the Queen Mother to take her hand. The two left the Xiefang Palace and headed for the Qingning Palace.

The palace lanterns were shining brightly, reflecting the phoenix crown on the Queen Mother's head.

During the whole process, the Queen Mother did not say a word, and walked dignifiedly. The distance between each step was almost the same.

It wasn't until she went to Qingning Palace that the Queen Mother let go of Yu Qinghuan's hand, sat high on a chair, and looked at Yu Qinghuan coldly: "Princess, do you know your identity and position?"

Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly: "Clear."

The Queen Mother sneered: "Since it is clear, why do you want to harm Zhenli? Just because the Ai family supports you, does not mean that the Ai family will condone your increasingly perverse temper, let alone your evil thoughts!"

Yu Qinghuan knelt down gently and asked calmly: "If Princess Zhenli thinks Qin Zhen is good, what will the Queen Mother do?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Zhenli is the apple of the eldest princess's eye, and even more so the treasure of the Ai family. How could she fall in love with that young boy?" Yu Qinghuan said: "Your Majesty, if you want to harm Princess Zhenli, I will never do that. Even if you have the guts, you won’t do that. The reason why Princess Zhenli is involved in today’s matter is indeed because of me, and I can’t argue with you.”

"I'm sorry you don't dare!" The Queen Mother thought about it for a moment and understood the twists and turns, but she did not immediately look kindly to Yu Qinghuan, but said sternly, "If it happens again, the Ai family will not be lenient. "

Old ladies are generally hard-spoken and soft-hearted. The Queen Mother has repeatedly spoken cruel words to Yu Qinghuan, but she has not actually harmed her. In this regard, the Queen Mother can barely be regarded as a kind old person.

Yu Qinghuan had no intention of trying to please the Queen Mother. First of all, Changsun Tao had already gained the Queen Mother's favor. If she took away the "favor" she deserved from the Queen, I'm afraid the emperor and his wife would want to destroy them even more.

Secondly, the person supported by the Queen Mother in the palace is Concubine Xiao. If she often comes to visit the Queen Mother, she will inevitably have to deal with Concubine Xiao, which may make people speculate whether Prince Qi's palace wants to support the second prince.

She doesn't want to get involved in anything related to the power field, so if the Queen Mother is enlightened, then she will be an obedient little daughter-in-law. If the Queen Mother is mentally ill, at the critical moment, she can be angry with the Queen Mother and kick her off as soon as possible.

All in all, the Queen Mother's attitude determines her attitude towards the Queen Mother.

"I would like to follow the teachings of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at her and finally said: "If you are free, tell the Ai family what happened in Qizhou. As soon as Zhaohua arrived in front of the Ai family, he acted like a gourd. He didn't say a word for a long time. The Ai family If you want to ask something out of his mouth, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky."

Yu Qinghuan focused on what happened in Qizhou and told the Empress Dowager about it, excluding some bloody and violent and thrilling details, and added some of her personal opinions just right. The Empress Dowager was sometimes angry, sometimes sad, and sometimes very happy!

Finally, the Queen Mother asked: "So, Zhaohua was injured? Is it serious?"

Yu Qinghuan said: "I injured my muscles and bones, and I haven't recovered yet."

The Queen Mother's eyes instantly turned red: "This miserable child has been coming back with wounds all over his body every time he leaves the capital since he was eight years old."

After saying that, the Queen Mother stood up and walked down. She personally helped Yu Qinghuan up and said with sobs: "Good boy, get up! You have worked hard for this trip to Qizhou. The Ai family had doubts about you before. Firstly, they felt that your The second reason is that you are not generous enough to compare with those dignified and elegant ladies, and you cannot be Zhaohua's good wife. Now the Ai family understands that it is possible to calmly read "Female Virtues" and "Female Precepts" several times every day. A woman who has been married ten times may not be suitable for Zhaohua. On the contrary, you are worthy of Zhaohua in terms of temperament and character. From now on, the Ai family will leave Zhaohua to you. As long as you treat her well Zhaohua, the Ai family will repay you well."

Yu Qinghuan was not moved by these heartfelt words. If she couldn't tell whether it was true or false, then her whole life would be in vain.

However, the Queen Mother's behavior was not because she wanted something from her, but because she wanted to coax her. It was the same as coaxing a child with candy.

Although Yu Qinghuan had other thoughts in her heart, her face showed no emotion. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "The Queen Mother... I thank the Queen Mother."

"You keep calling the Queen Mother, and the Ai family is unfamiliar to them." The Queen Mother patted her hand, "Zhaohua is the legitimate son of the Ai family, and you are Zhaohua's good match. From now on, you will follow Zhaohua and call the Ai family Mother!"

Yu Qinghuan was flattered and raised her head in disbelief: "The Queen Mother has broken my body, but I don't dare."

"Aren't you willing to listen to Ai Jia's words?" There was no emotion or anger in the Queen Mother's voice.

Yu Qinghuan timidly called out: "Mother...mother."

The Queen Mother patted her hand with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Princess, when you go back later, take all the doctors from the Pharmacy with you. The Ai family will instruct them that no matter what means they use, they must kill Zhaohua." Come back with nourishment!"

After going around for so long, what is the original purpose?
