Chapter 345 The Queen Mother snatches the child?
Nanny Wu stepped forward to smooth things over, and the atmosphere between the Queen Mother and Xie Yu eased.
However, Xie Yu still did not bow his head and say a soft word.
The Queen Mother said, "I know that Your Majesty is filial. Okay, we will not talk about what happened three years ago. I have prepared your favorite dishes. It has been a long time since we had a good meal together."
Lunch time
Xie Yu looked at the table full of his favorite dishes and personally picked up some food for the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother was happy to see that Xie Yu's attitude had softened, and the two of them had lunch.
Xie Yu is gone
The Queen Mother was originally angry, but Wang Chu appeased her with just a few words and received a lot of rewards.
Zhonghe Palace
Dan Zhendao walked in
"Your Majesty, there's news from Ci'an Palace that the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager has eased a lot. The Emperor had lunch with the Empress Dowager and they chatted for a long time."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Yes, I understand."
The thirty-year-long relationship between Xie Yu and the Empress Dowager cannot be broken up by a few words or a few things, so we can only try to slow it down.
In the next few days, Xie Yu still stayed in Zhonghe Palace.
When everyone was paying their respects, the Queen Mother's eyes became colder and colder as she looked at Lin Junxue.
Lin Junxue just pretended not to see it. After all, she wasn't the one who was angry, but the old thing, the Queen Mother.
In just a few days, Wang Chu became a big celebrity in Ci'an Palace and was directly appointed as the chief steward of Ci'an Palace.
Wang Chu was deeply loved by the Queen Mother and served her every day, never leaving her side for a moment.
Since the empress dowager returned to the palace, she has not been idle. She often asks Nanny Wu to bring soup to Xie Yu, and the relationship between mother and son has eased a lot.
this day
Li Shiwen carried Xie Ziyi to Ci'an Palace to pay respects. The empress dowager looked at the chubby Xie Ziyi and immediately made up her mind.
If there was a prince raised by her side, the emperor would naturally come to Ci'an Palace to visit more often. With more visits, the relationship between mother and son would naturally return to what it was before.
The Queen Mother took Xie Ziyi with a kind face. As soon as she took him, Xie Ziyi, who had been quiet, opened his eyes.
The next second, Xie Ziyi started crying loudly.
moment
The scene became awkward for a while, and the Queen Mother could hardly maintain her expression.
Li Shiwen hurried forward
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. Ziyi didn't sleep well today, so he cried. I will just comfort him."
The Queen Mother held Xie Ziyi in her arms and had no intention of letting go.
Xie Ziyi cried louder and louder, his face turned red, and the queen mother looked unhappy.
Nanny Wu said, "Empress Dowager, the Second Prince is crying loudly. Why don't you coax Concubine Lan first, and then you can hold the Second Prince."
Of course, Nanny Wu didn't have good intentions. She was just afraid that Xie Ziyi would continue crying like this. If he got hurt, it would be difficult to explain to Xie Yu.
The Queen Mother then asked Nanny Wu to return Xie Ziyi to Li Shiwen.
Li Shiwen hurried forward, held Xie Ziyi in his arms, and coaxed him softly.
Xie Ziyi stopped crying immediately
The Queen Mother was very unhappy, but she still looked kind.
"Princess Lan, you have taken good care of the Second Prince. I like this child. I just returned to the palace and I need someone to accompany me. How about you send the Second Prince to my side to raise him for a few days?"
Li Shiwen had just finished coaxing Xie Ziyi, and when she heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
The Queen Mother actually had this plan in mind. She wanted to take Ziyi away from her and raise him with her.
Is the Queen Mother blatantly trying to snatch her child away?
What do you mean by keeping him by your side? If Ziyi is really taken away, he will never come back.
Li Shiwen handed the child to the wet nurse and then knelt on the ground.
"Empress Dowager, Ziyi has been with me since he was born. He is still young. If he were to suddenly be with you, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to adapt. At that time, it would definitely disturb your peace. That would be the fault of me and Ziyi."
The Queen Mother looked at Li Shiwen kneeling on the ground and her eyes turned cold.
What? A mere concubine Lan dared to reject her, the Queen Mother?
"Lanpin, you don't want the Second Prince to stay with me. Do you know that not every prince or princess has such a blessing? I am lucky to like the Second Prince. I will not treat him badly if he stays with me. Lanpin, you should take a long-term view. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Shiwen heard the dissatisfaction and threats in the Queen Mother's tone.
She knew that as a concubine, she had no chance of winning against the empress dowager.
But as a mother, she must be strong. For Ziyi, she absolutely cannot back down at this time.
Li Shiwen kowtowed, neither humble nor arrogant
"Your Highness, Ziyi was born after ten months of pregnancy. I naturally hope that he will be well. It is a blessing for Ziyi to be able to stay with you, Your Highness. But Ziyi is too young. I have always taken care of his food, clothing, shelter and transportation myself. If I leave him to others to take care of, I will not be at ease. Please, Your Highness, sympathize with my motherly heart."
The Queen Mother threw the Buddhist beads heavily on the table.
"Lanpin, what do you mean by this? You mean that I will mistreat your child. I will naturally find the best wet nurse to take care of the second prince. If you miss the second prince, just come to Ci'an Palace to see him. Ziyi is my grandson. As long as you agree to raise him in Ci'an Palace, I promise that in the future, he will definitely be the emperor's most beloved prince. Lanpin, don't be ungrateful."
Li Shiwen was about to speak
The Queen Mother interrupted her immediately without giving her a chance to refuse.
waved his hand
"Okay, it's settled. Tomorrow, I will send Nanny Wu to your palace to pick up the second prince. Today, you go back first."
for a while
Li Shiwen stood up, said nothing, and bowed respectfully.
"I'm leaving now."
When Li Shiwen carried Xie Ziyi away, the empress dowager snorted coldly.
"How dare you, a mere concubine, act so presumptuously in front of me"
Nanny Wu said, "In my opinion, this Concubine Lan is not stupid. She will not easily bring the Second Prince to your side to raise him. Why don't I go to the Emperor and tell him in advance?"
The Queen Mother said, "She is a concubine, but she has received some favor from the Emperor and gave birth to the Second Prince. She is lucky. I have asked for it. Even if she makes a scene in front of the Emperor, what can be done? But you have to send the Second Prince to me."
Wang Chu stepped forward and massaged the Queen Mother's shoulders
"The Empress Dowager said that the mother-son relationship between you and the Emperor cannot be compared to that of a mere concubine Lan. Even if Concubine Lan makes a fuss about this, the Emperor will certainly think that Concubine Lan is being unreasonable."
The Queen Mother looked at Wang Chu with satisfaction.
"You are the only one with a sweet mouth"
Turning around, she looked at Aunt Wu again.
"Okay, don't worry about this Concubine Lan. Tomorrow, you go to her palace and bring the second prince to me, and then go tell the emperor."
Nanny Wu frowned and glanced at Wang Chu
In recent days, Wang Chu has gained the trust of the Queen Mother.
Even at night, the empress dowager didn't need her to serve her.
Aunt Wu had no choice but to agree.
"I know now."
After Li Shiwen carried Xie Ziyi out of Ci'an Palace, she did not return to the palace.
She knew that Xie Yu was in Zhonghe Palace, so she took Xie Ziyi and went directly to Zhonghe Palace.
