Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 731 Supporting the New Monarch (3)
Although the title of beauty is low, it is also a shield to maintain peace. Even if it is like this, it will also arouse the jealousy of Jiang Yu and others. If the status is raised a little higher, wouldn't it become the target of public criticism for the women in the harem?
More importantly, once the status is raised, contact with the emperor is unavoidable.

Yun Wanqin was about to refuse again, but saw that the Queen Mother Jia seemed a little unhappy, and her face was slightly serious: "It's not for you, it's for the second prince, even if you ignore your honor and status, you still have to think about Xiao Yuanxiao, a prince, mother She is a beauty who can't even be compared to noble people, how to behave? How to communicate with people? How can I have a future?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Mrs. Ma quickly smoothed things over and told Yun Wanqin to go back first.

Because Yun Wanqin was thinking about this matter, she didn't dare to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace for a few days, fearing that Mrs. Jia would bring up this matter again, and she might refuse it, or refuse it.On this day, Mrs. Ma sent a message again, saying that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her great-grandson, but Yun Wanqin couldn't resist anymore, so she had to hug Xiao Yuanxiao with the nanny.

Today, the sun is covered by dark clouds, the wind is rustling, and there are some signs of rain. Although the weather is the most comfortable in the autumn tiger season, but because there is no sun, it makes people feel gloomy, especially for Yun Wanqin at this moment. explain.

All the way she was thinking about how to decline this matter with the Queen Mother Jia, and went all the way into the Compassion Palace, and after sitting down, she was still a little absent-minded.

Empress Dowager Jia could also see that she was restless, so she sighed unconsciously.I haven't figured it out until now, this girl has a calm and gentle face, but she is quite stubborn in her core. She said that she doesn't want to participate in the harem competition and just wants to live quietly in Yaotai Pavilion. In fact, she doesn't know what her plan is. Still holding the idea that King Qin will return.

Hanyi played with her grandson for a while, and Xiao Yuanxiao clamored to ride a big horse. She used to ride on Zhu Shun's shoulders at the Palace of Compassion and Peace a few times before, and then she became addicted, and she must play every time she came.The Empress Dowager Jia hurriedly gave orders, Zhu Shun smiled and carried the prince on his shoulders and took him to the courtyard.

"Look, it's such a little bit of fun, making this child so happy," the Queen Mother Jia glanced at her great-grandson sitting on Zhu Shun's head, holding Zhu Shun's ears and happily leaving the back, and sent all the palace people around her away. , "Boys from folk families ride big horses, and they are always accompanied by their own fathers. King Qin is no longer here, but Xiao Yuanxiao can still rely on the emperor. If you have a higher status, your relationship with the emperor will be fine." Get closer, and the relationship between Xiao Yuanxiao and the emperor will naturally be deeper."

The Empress Dowager knew that Xiao Yuanxiao was the blood of the King of Qin, but she had never been so clear with herself. Yun Wanqin heard what the Empress Dowager meant at this moment,——Xiao Yuanxiao's father is gone, but at least she can still have her An adoptive father who can be relied on, let himself know something interesting, and obey the emperor for his son.

After a long silence, she raised her skirt and stood up, bending her knees. Before Empress Dowager Jia could be astonished, she was already kneeling on the ground.

Yun Wanqin knew that if she didn't speak clearly today, the empress dowager would continue to persuade her, and once the emperor returned to Beijing, it would be too late, so she didn't hesitate: "The empress dowager's arrangement is all for the sake of Xiao Yuanxiao, concubine I shouldn't have trampled on the empress dowager's good intentions, but the empress dowager knows who the little Yuanxiao is. Even if the emperor is willing to take care of and promote this child because of my concubine, I feel ashamed of it. As the concubine's status is high, it is inevitable to communicate and deal with others, and to be hated by others. From now on, there will be queens in the harem, and more women will enter the palace, which will only attract more attention. Let Xiao Yuanxiao become the focus and be exposed to the eyes of outsiders. If someone deliberately finds out Xiao Yuanxiao's life experience, the emperor will be ashamed, and Xiao Yuanxiao will also be guilty. The original intention of the empress dowager to suppress this matter is even more It's the opposite. Instead of doing this, it's better to ask the concubine to take this child to avoid the limelight and live quietly in Yaotai Pavilion. Once the status is low, no one will pay attention to us."

"You—" Empress Dowager Jia was a little anxious when she saw that she insisted on this, but she spoke in an orderly manner, and it was difficult to refute for a while, so she flicked her sleeves and became a little annoyed: "You girl, why did you have to be like this—"

Yun Wanqin lowered her head and didn't intend to get up, since she has made her point clear today, even if Mrs. Jia is angry that she is disobedient, she must let her dispel this idea.

Seeing the most honorable elder in the harem in front of him was about to change color with thunder, and there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside the hall, Zhu Shun actually didn't report in advance, and ran in with Xiao Yuanxiao on his shoulders.

Empress Dowager Jia thought it was bad weather outside and it was going to rain, so she didn't think much about it, and turned her anger on Zhu Shun: "What's the matter with you, didn't you know how to make a noise before you came in?"

Zhu Shun didn't seem to hear the empress dowager's scolding, returned the little Yuanxiao to the nurse's arms, trembling twice, knelt down suddenly, and murmured: "Mother, empress dowager, no, it's not good—" —”

Only then did Yun Wanqin notice that Zhu Shun, the always stable old man beside the Empress Dowager Jia, had a panicked expression on his face at this moment, ignoring his own affairs for the time being, and staring at Zhu Shun.

Empress Dowager Jia was also obviously aware of the strange situation, and was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Shun swallowed, tried his best to calm down his tone, but still couldn't restrain his slight trembling: "The emperor was captured by the slaves!"

As soon as these words came out, the room froze for a moment.Ma Shi and other palace people who came in on their heels were startled, and felt that the sky was about to collapse for a moment, and when they looked up again, they saw Empress Dowager Jia spinning around, shaking her body, and fell down.

Fortunately, Yun Wanqin was right in front of her, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, she propped herself up to support the Empress Dowager, Ma Shi and others also rushed over, helped the Empress Dowager Jia to the chair, and quickly asked someone to pass tea to pinch her, and then went to call the imperial doctor.

Yun Wanqin was also extremely astonished, she hadn't fully recovered yet, she was clearly in sight of victory, and she was watching the whole court waiting for the emperor's class teacher to return to the court to celebrate, how could she know such a reversal would come.

"No, no need—" Empress Dowager Jia breathed back, opened her eyes, her phoenix eyes suddenly flickered, she was extremely angry, and her voice changed her tone: "How could he be captured? That King Yisi has been guarding Jiangbei for many years, deeply He is familiar with the enemy, and he accompanied the entire battle this time—was he just for food? How did he escort him?! How is the emperor now?! What can you say about Meng Nu!"

"Empress Dowager," Zhu Shun cried, "The emergency military report came back from the north in the morning, and the servant just heard from the adjutant that King Jingyang sent to say it! It is said that the previous battle went smoothly. , I declared that Mengnu had already been forced back several cities, but... but in the last battle yesterday, the emperor personally led the army to lead the battle in order to boost morale, so that King Yisi could be the queen. Unexpectedly, Mengnu died in a mountain road When King Yisi led a team to catch up to the front, the Mengnu people had already captured the emperor... Hearing that he had taken him to the capital of Mengnu Kingdom overnight, King Yisi immediately proposed to withdraw his troops and let the Mengnu people return us. Towards the monarch, but Monu's side...hasn't heard back yet..."

Underestimating the enemy, it turned out that the emperor actually underestimated the enemy when it came to the last match!
