No matter what the reason was, the Queen Mother's heart was filled with coldness at this time.
This is the son she has raised for more than 20 years, and he has become her leader at this juncture.
If that's the case, don't blame her as a mother for being so ruthless.
"Okay, son, listen to your mother and let's have a banquet!" The emperor smiled and nodded.
Princess Jiahe, who was sitting below, couldn't help but squeeze Meng Shu's hand.
The imperial brother finally started to fight back.
Just looking at the faces of the Queen Mother and King Wei made her feel particularly happy.
Seeing how excited Princess Jiahe was, Meng Shu subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the emperor sitting at the top.
If he were Mr. Su and the poison in his body had been cured, it would not affect his ability to continue the family line.
However, he issued an imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials, saying that he would adopt one of his younger brothers' children as the crown prince.
This is clearly a trap for King Wei and others.
However, the emperor's power fell away, and if he wanted to successfully take back the power in the hands of the Queen Mother and King Wei, he would have to work hard.
A smile appeared on Meng Shu's face.
The Meng family is on the side of the emperor. The better the emperor is, the more stable the position of the Meng family will be.
At this moment, the emperor's eyes also fell on Meng Shu. When he saw that the girl was actually smiling at him, he was slightly startled and felt his heart beat suddenly faster.
Before the emperor could think more, Meng Shu had already looked away and whispered to Princess Jiahe beside him.
She was too far away and there were many people in the hall, so the emperor naturally couldn't hear what she said.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's voice came to his ears.
"Emperor, Aijia is feeling a little unwell and is going back to Taikang Palace first."
The banquet had just begun, and the Queen Mother was about to leave. Her face was not good-looking, and she was obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's decree just now.
By doing this, she was telling the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that she disagreed with the emperor's decision just now.
She has been in power for many years. Even if the emperor is the official decision-maker of the dynasty, there are some things that she cannot do as long as she does not agree.
Even if the emperor has told everyone, as long as she does not agree, the people below will naturally obey her.
Even if the two idiots King Liang and King Jin had the courage to serve in the military camp outside the city, the generals would only deal with them.
Just because these two idiots from a concubine want to fight with her son?
There are no doors!
"My son sends his mother off to you!" The emperor stood up with a smile.
"Farewell to the Queen Mother!" Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
Not long after, King Wei also found an opportunity to resign, obviously going to Taikang Palace to find the Queen Mother.
The emperor's face was calm and did not show any emotion, and the people in the hall were not stupid either. They continued to enjoy the singing and dancing, and no one said a word, as if what just happened had never happened.
Princess Jiahe, on the other hand, was a little disappointed when the Queen Mother did not grant her and Chen Songyu a marriage.
She also knew that the Queen Mother was so angry at the Emperor's brother that, let alone today, she would probably not be in the mood to care about her affairs for a long time, so she was granted a marriage.
Princess Jiahe is a head-strong person. When she has decided something, she wants to settle it as soon as possible and cut through the mess quickly.
My mother-in-law's is not beautiful.
But now that the matter has come to this, if she tells others about this, they will think that she wants to get married early.
Although Princess Jiahe didn't say anything, Meng Shu guessed what she was thinking.
Because this girl is indeed not a good at hiding her thoughts, it is all written on her face.
"In addition to the Queen Mother, the emperor can also grant marriage to the princess." Meng Shu said softly.
Princess Jiahe's eyes lit up when she heard this, and just as she was about to speak, Meng Shu's voice came to her ears again.
"However, in my humble opinion, since the Queen Mother proposed this matter, it is most appropriate for the Queen Mother to grant the marriage."
It can be seen from what happened just now that the Queen Mother is not a generous person and has a strong desire to control.
She dared to shame the emperor in public, so naturally she would not take Princess Jiahe seriously.
When she was happy, she would marry the concubine's daughter and be happy to pamper Princess Jiahe.
If she is unhappy, Princess Jiahe will fall from the clouds to the bottom.
"Sister Meng is right, I'll just wait!" Princess Jiahe nodded.
If she keeps staring at this matter, others will think she cares about Chen Songyu.
My dear princess, you must never do this.
However, what Princess Jiahe didn't know was that the Queen Mother suddenly changed her mind early this morning and would not marry her to Chen Songyu.
It's just that this matter has not been told to her and Princess Su Gui yet.
Because the emperor's health has improved, the Queen Mother has been focusing all her attention on this for the past two days and has not been able to care about anything else.
What's more, she is used to doing things her own way, and even if she changes her orders every day, she still thinks it's a matter of course.
As the Queen Mother, she is the most noble woman in the world. Not only is she qualified to marry Princess Jiahe, but she can also decide who to marry this daughter to.
Even if they change, they don’t have to tell their mother and daughter.
It all depends on her mood.
"By the way, princess, the envoy from the Western Qiang Kingdom will arrive in a few days." Meng Shu looked at the innocent-looking Princess Jiahe and said softly.
Princess Jiahe heard the words and nodded: "I also heard about this two days ago. It's quite ridiculous to say that the Western Qiang Kingdom and our Zhou Dynasty have been fighting for so many years, but this is the first time that they have sent envoys to visit."
"Princess, does she know the purpose of their trip?" Meng Shu took a sip of fruit wine and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I know. She said she wanted to get married." Princess Jiahe said with a sneer, with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Jian Shou is just dreaming. Our Zhou Dynasty and the Xiqiang Kingdom have had a blood feud for generations. How can we get married?"
"What the princess said is true, but... you are the only princess in the dynasty. Since the princess has chosen her consort, it is better to ask the Queen Mother to marry her earlier, so as to avoid long nights and dreams." Meng Shuruo pointed out.
Although, as long as the Queen Mother is not crazy, it is impossible to marry Princess Jiahe to the Western Qiang Kingdom, but no one dares to guarantee this kind of thing.
After all, what the Queen Mother has done over the years has been witnessed by everyone.
She is sometimes calm and sometimes willful.
Sometimes the things he does are simply unbelievable.
Princess Jiahe was startled when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "Sister Meng, don't worry. Anyway, my father only has a daughter like me, and my mother loves me very much. Of course, she can't push me into the fire pit."
She was a princess who had been raised in a honey pot. She was pampered by everyone in the palace. Even if the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with the emperor's actions today, she would not be able to anger her and let her marry to the Western Qiang Kingdom.
Besides, even if the Queen Mother really wanted to do this, the imperial brother and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would not agree.
That was the Western Qiang Kingdom.
As long as they Zhou people still have a trace of blood, they will not marry their princess to the Western Qiang Kingdom for marriage.
"Yes!" Meng Shu nodded. She also felt that her worries were unfounded. Considering the Queen Mother's love for Princess Jiahe, she should not be like this.
It’s just that the nights are long and the dreams are many. The earlier the marriage between Princess Jiahe and Chen Songyu is decided, the better!
