Because of this, the angry Meng Huailiang sent Huang back to her parents' home.
Although he took the person back after being persuaded by his mother and brother, Huang also admitted her mistake in front of him with snot and tears, saying that she was so angry that day that she was talking nonsense and asked him not to go there. Although Meng Huailiang still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
A manly man shouldn't care so much about his wife, but he just can't remain indifferent.
Maybe it will get better in some time.
For him, the most important thing now is to cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and arrange his niece's marriage.
We’ll talk about the rest later.
Huang looked at Meng Huailiang's retreating back with tears in her eyes.
"Mommy, is he still unwilling to forgive me?" Huang wiped her tears and sighed.
"Madam, since Mr. Six has brought you back, he will still discuss matters in the house with you as before. Even when he adds makeup to the eldest lady, he talks to you, Madam. It can be seen that Mr. Six still treats you the same as before. "Ma'am, don't worry, it'll be fine in a while," Grandma He quickly advised.
Huang nodded after hearing this.
After experiencing this incident, her temper became much softer in front of her husband and children, especially towards her two daughters. In the past few days, she had been scolding at every turn.
She was able to come back this time only because her children were asking for help.
But her mother's family, which she was so proud of before, made her very sad this time.
It's really chilling when scholars get into trouble.
……
This night, many people are bound to be unable to sleep.
But it does not include Meng Shu.
Because the emperor came to her after nightfall and spoke many words to her, but he only meant one thing - he was not a man who broke his word.
They had originally agreed to wait a year and a half for him to take full control of the power before issuing an imperial edict to canonize Meng Shu as queen, but it turned out to be earlier than expected. All of this was due to the Queen Mother's persecution.
He couldn't watch Meng Shu being pushed into a pit of fire by the Queen Mother's decree, so he could only marry her into the palace in advance.
Meng Shu didn't say much, but she became more and more disgusted with the Queen Mother.
"Who selected the nuns, maids, and eunuchs sent by the palace?" Meng Shu asked.
"I asked Wang Fusheng to go to the House of Internal Affairs to select the ones. Sister Xi, eight maids, and eight eunuchs are all trustworthy people. But... you have to like them. If you don't like them, change them. That’s it.” The emperor smiled.
"Suddenly, so many people came to serve, plus my original maids and mothers-in-law, they are close to the West Ten people. Fortunately, I am a big fanghuayuan, otherwise there would be no place for them to live." Meng Shu sighed. One sentence.
"I heard someone say before that after my father selected Xie to be the Crown Princess, the palace sent people to the Xie family to teach Xie the rules of the palace. Only eight people came, but in the end they had no place to live. It almost made a joke. At that time, the Xie family lived in a small courtyard near the suburbs of Beijing. The whole family was crowded together, and life was not easy. My mother-in-law did not even have a courtyard where she could live alone. When my father learned about this, Immediately let people clean up his other courtyard and let the Xie family move in." The emperor talked about the past events he had heard before.
"The late Emperor loved the Queen Mother to the extreme." No matter what the Queen Mother's character was, she had a husband who doted on her, otherwise she would not have been able to take charge of the government.
This was all connived by the late emperor.
"I once heard from the old people in the palace that when Mrs. Xie first married into the Prince's Palace, she was very gentle and virtuous. After becoming the queen, she gradually changed. It can be seen that power and wealth can really make a person lose his true heart." The emperor shook his head and said.
"Perhaps she was originally such a person, but she was very humble before, so she hid her ambitions and desires." Meng Shu felt that she was pretty accurate in judging people, but the feeling the Queen Mother gave her was not good.
"Yes." The emperor nodded: "By the way, Shu'er, the Chinese New Year is less than a month away. There are many officials who will return to Beijing to report on their duties at the end of the year. I still have to keep an eye on the Ministry of Personnel to appraise the officials' performance. In recent days, I will be very busy, so I can only come to see you when I have time, but... we have made an appointment a long time ago to go out on New Year's Eve, so don't forget it."
Meng Shu nodded.
Of course she hadn't forgotten this.
"This is for you. I'm going back first." The emperor suddenly took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it into Meng Shu's hand.
Meng Shu looked at her purse and was about to say something, but the emperor had already left.
After a while, she opened her purse and found a little origami rabbit inside. The paper was made of peach blossom pink. The folding was not particularly good, but it looked quite cute.
Was this broken by the emperor himself?
A smile appeared on Meng Shu's face, she walked to the bed and stuffed her purse under the pillow.
She is born in the year of Rabbit.
She didn't expect the emperor to give her this.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, what kind of New Year's gift should she prepare for the emperor?
Meng Shu lay on the couch, touching her purse with one hand, thinking about it, and fell asleep soon.
……
Early the next morning, there was supposed to be a court meeting, but the emperor heard from people around him that the Queen Mother sent someone to send a message, asking the emperor to go to court to manage the affairs by himself, and she would not go to Qian'an Palace today.
First, the Queen Mother rarely goes to court recently and declares that she wants to return power to the emperor.
This is the second time...
Concubine De went to the Empress Dowager's palace early in the morning and cried. She heard that she almost fainted. She was pregnant with King Wei's child. The Empress Dowager was so precious that she naturally had to coax her, so she had no time to go to court.
"Crying?" The emperor sneered: "She still has the nerve to cry. Is she qualified to be my queen? What a fool's errand."
Concubine De went to the Empress Dowager's palace to cry, just because she was dissatisfied with him for making Meng Shu the queen.
After all...that woman always dreamed of being a queen.
I don’t even look in the mirror to see what I am.
The emperor's guess was correct, Concubine De was crying just because of her position as queen.
Since she was a child, she has secretly made up her mind to be like her aunt and be a mother-in-law.
But now, the position of queen belongs to Meng Shu.
Concubine De couldn't swallow the feeling in her heart. They were all cursing Meng Shu yesterday, and she didn't close her eyes all night.
You know, since she became pregnant, she has still been very sleepy and has gone to bed early every day.
I had stayed up all night like last night, which I had never done before.
The Queen Mother was afraid that it would be bad for the child, so she personally wiped away Concubine De's tears and advised her to go back and have a good sleep first, and talk about it another day if anything happened.
Concubine De couldn't bear it. She knelt on the ground holding the Queen Mother's legs and burst into tears: "Auntie promised to make Jingyun the queen, but what happened? The emperor made that bitch Meng Shu the queen. Auntie... ...Jing Yun secretly vowed since entering the palace that she would never be subordinate to others. When Meng Shu becomes the queen, won't I have to pay tribute to her? Besides, doesn't my aunt want us to continue to be the Xie family? The master of the harem?"
