Chapter 102: Transformed into Bamboo Breath 66
Although Yinzhen and the Queen Mother said that as a filial son, he would not let his own brother go down to accompany the late emperor, they did not say that he could not stay up there to accompany the late emperor.
So Yinzhen sent Fourteenth Prince to guard the imperial mausoleum.
He still held a grudge against Fourteen and did not harm his life, but he did not want him to have an easy life.
When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was dissatisfied but could do nothing about it.
She couldn't hold back her desire to stir up trouble, so one night, just like the original plot, she sent pickles to Yinzhen, specifically mentioning that they were sent by Longkodo from Yangzhou, acting like a loving mother.
Yinzhen saw at a glance that the empress dowager had other plans. Having experienced true concern and seen true maternal love, he would no longer be fooled by these little tricks.
But there was one thing that puzzled him.
How dare the Queen Mother be so bold?
When he was young, Yinzhen accidentally saw the Queen Mother and Longkodo secretly hugging each other and having a secret meeting in the palace.
The affair between the Queen Mother and Longkodo made Yinzhen sweat profusely. The Queen Mother's attitude towards the Fourteenth Child was very different from his, which made Yinzhen furious. He believed that the Fourteenth Child was Longkodo's child, so the Queen Mother loved him more.
Fortunately, when Fourteen grew up, he was not like Longkodo.
The Empress Dowager sent us pickles because she wanted to say something good about Longkodo. Look, Longkodo cares so much about us, mother and son.
After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he no longer had much use for Longkodo, and the empress dowager guessed that he would most likely get rid of him.
Yinzhen was very dissatisfied with the empress dowager's infidelity, and she even tried to show off Longkodo's concern for her in secret, which made Yinzhen feel sick.
Yinzhen didn't have the patience to wait for her to finish her performance before saying what he really wanted to say, "Is the Empress coming here for something important?"
The Queen Mother choked up at his question. This annoying son really didn't want her to have an easy life.
He had no choice but to tell Yinzhen his purpose of this trip and persuade him to hold a beauty contest, under the pretext of selecting more newcomers to enter the palace and continue his family line.
"The emperor has only one prince and one princess, which is really too few.
The queen is old and has only given birth once, so she must be useless.
The emperor should select some new people to continue his lineage."
The love a parent has for his or her child is deep and sincere.
The Queen Mother spoke so sincerely and with such bright eyes that I was moved to tears.
Feeling that what he said was not enough, he added, "The emperor is different now than when he was a prince. There is only one woman in the harem, the queen. If this gets out, people will laugh at him."
The Queen Mother felt that what she said was reasonable and well-founded.
Yinzhen tried to hold back, veins on his forehead throbbing, but finally he couldn't hold back any more and with a loud "crash", he threw all the documents on the table to the ground.
"The late emperor has not been buried yet, and his body is still lying in state, but the Queen Mother wants me to select a concubine. Is she trying to make me be labeled as an unfilial person?!
Do you want to go to the coffin of the late emperor and discuss everything?"
The Empress Dowager didn't understand why Yinzhen was so angry. She felt that her sincerity had been in vain. He was indeed a rebellious son who was born to jinx her.
The Queen Mother felt that she had lost face, so she snorted and left.
Yinzhen said these two sentences, and the Queen Mother couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to say
"Does the Queen Mother think that everyone is as fickle as you, unable to stand loneliness? You and Longkodo had a little affair, and I gave you face, but you don't want it, right?"
Unfortunately, there were many people in the Qianqing Palace and he had to endure it.
Yinzhen really didn't want to mention the dirty deeds between the Queen Mother and Longkodo, but the Queen Mother didn't clean up her own mess and instead came to cause trouble for Zhuxi.
Yes, in Yinzhen's view, the Queen Mother was just dissatisfied with his treatment of Fourteenth Prince and couldn't do anything about him, so she turned around and bullied her sister.
Originally, Yinzhen wanted to save some dignity for the empress dowager, but the empress dowager should never have mentioned her sister's problem.
How dare she describe her sister as "useless"? Yinzhen clenched his fists in anger, thinking that what he had just said was too light.
The Queen Mother is really like a bat with chicken feathers stuck on it - who the hell is she?
Is the Queen Mother qualified to comment on my sister's affairs?
"Su Peisheng, the Queen Mother advised me to select the concubines during the mourning period for the late Emperor. There must be some villain around her who is bewitching me and wants to harm us. Go and investigate!"
This meant that there would be a big fight and everyone in the palace would know about it.
When this matter got out, Yinzhen didn't care what people said about the Empress Dowager. After all, he got rid of his anger and could also use the Empress Dowager to gain a reputation for being filial.
