Chapter 336 The first confrontation
The Queen Mother thought that she, the Queen, was hit in the face
Little did they know that in public, the empress dowager slapped Xie Yu in the face.
It seems that the empress dowager has been doing well in the harem for many years and has forgotten that this is no longer the time when the late emperor was in power.
Xie Yu was not able to become the favored prince of the late emperor because of her.
Xie Yu had become an emperor whose power and grace were growing and whose words were final.
And now, she, the queen, is the woman that Xie Yu values, holds at the top of his heart, and dotes on.
The Queen Mother's show of power is really stupid.
The smile on Lin Junxue's lips deepened
Nanny Wu stepped forward and whispered, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor is still waiting."
Just now.
The Emperor's attitude was clearly cold, and the Empress Dowager could not afford to embarrass the Empress again at this time, otherwise, she would only become more alienated from the Emperor.
Next second
The curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and Lin Junxue raised her eyes slowly.
She looked towards the carriage and happened to meet the Queen Mother. Lin Junxue smiled slightly.
As expected, she is really a beauty, to have been favored in the harem for so many years.
Although she is over fifty years old, she still has the beauty and looks of her youth.
Very good, it fits her impression of a favorite concubine.
Then, another woman appeared behind the Queen Mother. She was not very pretty and her face did not look very good.
The contempt and disdain in his eyes when he looked at her were not concealed at all.
The woman's dark circles can hardly be covered, and she looks like she has overindulged in sex
I guess this is the vicious, arrogant and licentious princess.
Obviously, the eldest princess did not inherit even one third of the queen mother's beauty.
The Queen Mother and the eldest princess were both looking at Lin Junxue, whom they hadn't seen for more than three years.
Lin Junxue let the two of them look at her with a gentle smile on her face.
Lin Junxue took a step forward, extended her hand, and spoke softly.
"Mother, I will help you
"Princess, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you okay?"
Seeing Lin Junxue's expression, the Queen Mother patted her hands affectionately.
"Well, the Queen is sensible. My mother is also concerned about your health."
Lin Junxue was touched. Sure enough, it was the same old moves written in the original owner's notes.
Over the years, the Queen Mother has always given a slap in the face and then a sweet date.
I have been plotting against the original owner for so many years, and now it is still the same. There is really nothing new.
She wanted to see how long the Queen Mother could continue to play this hypocritical and false role.
Lin Junxue said, "Thank you very much, mother, for your concern. I am fine."
The princess snorted coldly.
"My sister-in-law has really grown a lot in the past three years."
Lin Junxue looked at the eldest princess
"I haven't seen the princess for three years, but she is still as charming and radiant as ever."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Even if the princess wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, she couldn't make trouble out of nothing. The sarcastic remarks were on the tip of her tongue, but she choked back.
The princess looked at Lin Junxue and felt a little aggrieved.
It was the bitch Lin Junxue who was so respectful, but why did she feel uncomfortable?
The princess turned her head away and stopped looking at Lin Junxue.
Lin Junxue bowed slightly, showing great respect.
Palace Gate
Xie Yu saw Lin Junxue's respectful attitude from afar and became angry.
Jun'er is the queen, the mother of the country. Being respectful to her is filial piety, so what does being respectful to the eldest princess mean?
According to the rules, he, as the elder sister, should not look down on Jun'er, the queen.
Lin Junxue helped the Queen Mother down from the carriage. The Princess looked at Xie Yu standing at the palace gate in the distance.
She immediately followed the Queen Mother, grumbling and complaining in dissatisfaction.
"Mother, look at the emperor. You haven't seen him for more than three years, but he doesn't even come to greet you. Really, does the emperor still have you in his heart?"
Lin Junxue supported the Queen Mother and listened to the eldest princess' complaints with her eyes slightly narrowed.
The rumors about the eldest princess are true.
He is used to being spoiled and speaks without considering the occasion and without thinking.
At this time, he also followed the Queen Mother to complain about Xie Yu's unfilial behavior.
This thing, the Queen Mother really gave birth to it, it was a hindrance
But she was satisfied
Nanny Wu said, "Princess, please be careful with your words and actions."
The eldest princess looked at Nanny Wu and surprisingly did not get angry.
"Madam Wu, what the princess said is wrong, the emperor is..."
The Queen Mother pretended to reprimand her and said, "Okay."
But any discerning person could see that it was more of a meaningless remark than a scolding.
The eldest princess shut up unwillingly.
The Queen Mother and Nanny Wu looked at Lin Junxue
Lin Junxue knew that the two were afraid that she would talk too much in front of Xie Yu.
Lin Junxue said softly, "Mother, if the princess didn't mean it, I won't take it to heart."
The eldest princess was even more proud
The Queen Mother also said that since Lin Junxue is the current Queen and is favored, after returning to the palace, you should not have conflicts with her and should test the waters first.
But she thought that a dog will always eat shit, so why did Lin Junxue change her temperament so drastically?
It seems that these are all rumors and cannot be believed at all. My mother and the nanny are just overthinking.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
"The Queen has always been well-behaved. Of course, she knows what to say and what not to say. Mother values you the most."
Lin Junxue was not surprised by praise or criticism, and smiled
"I was raised by my mother, so I will listen to her."
When he arrived, Xie Yu looked at the empress dowager whom he had not seen for more than three years.
In the end, she still raised her feet and went forward, thinking of the mother-son relationship she had in the past.
The concubines in the harem came forward according to their positions
"I respectfully welcome my mother back to the palace"
"Your Majesty welcomes my mother back to the palace."
"I respectfully welcome my mother back to the palace."
The Queen Mother was of course dissatisfied that Xie Yu did not come forward to greet him.
She was even more dissatisfied with the fact that Xie Yu had repeatedly postponed her return to the palace.
Regardless of the fact that she was in Yushan, she rarely even received a letter.
It's simply not caring about the mother-child relationship
She really raised an ungrateful child, after all, he is not her own child.
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Yu with a loving look in her eyes.
Lin Junxue looked at the Queen Mother and realized that this Taihu's acting skills were also very good.
The Queen Mother came forward
"Get up, Your Majesty. I have been thinking about you, Yu'er, every day during the three years I have been in Yushan."
When Xie Yu heard the Queen Mother calling him by his nickname, his eyes moved slightly.
"Mother, the Queen and I will accompany you back to Ci'an Palace."
The Queen Mother saw that Xie Yu's expression had relaxed, and continued, "Yu'er, why do you look so bad today? Did you not get enough rest?"
When Xie Yu mentioned this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he looked at Lin Junxue who was standing next to him.
Last night, he and Jun'er had a wild night in Yuqing Pool. Today, his face was indeed not good, but his body and mind were very relaxed.
"My Queen Mother, I am fine. I didn't get enough rest yesterday."
The Queen Mother frowned and swept her cold eyes over all the concubines.
"Where is the emperor resting? Who failed to serve him well? The concubines in the harem are supposed to serve the emperor. If they can't do such a small thing, what's the point?"
When the Queen Mother came back, she was not only showing off her power to the Queen, but also warning the concubines in the harem.
The first thing he did when he returned to the palace was to establish his authority, and all the concubines lowered their heads.
Lin Junxue took the initiative to stand up and bowed to the Queen Mother.
"Mother, yesterday, the Emperor rested in my Zhonghe Palace. I was not caring enough for him. Please forgive me, Mother."
