Chapter 114 Barrier
"Your birthday will be in two days, and you will have to come out eventually. The emperor was just angry that day, so he just wanted to take advantage of his birthday to let you come out."
"A sinner like me doesn't deserve to have a birthday celebration. Go tell the emperor that there's no need to worry. I don't need to celebrate my birthday. This place is great. I like it very much."
"Empress Dowager, how can a queen mother not celebrate her birthday? Aren't you asking the ministers to stab the emperor in the back?"
With the help of Zhuxi, the Queen Mother slowly stood up and looked down at the Queen, "Yixiu, don't forget why I was confined here by the Emperor!"
"Madam, I advised you not to attack Zong Jing that day, but you insisted on doing so."
"Queen, please go back. You must remember that everything I have done is for you."
Seeing that she could not persuade the Queen Mother, the Queen returned to Jingren Palace.
"My lady, let me give you a massage."
"Jianqiu, what do you think the Queen Mother thinks of me?"
"Back then, it was the Queen Mother and that bitch who took my position as the principal wife away from me. If I hadn't taken action and the Queen Mother didn't have any other suitable candidates at the time, how could the position of Queen fall into my hands now?"
"It sounds nice to say, for me? What a joke, she has always been doing it for the Ulanara family and that old fourteenth. When has she ever really done it for me?"
"My lady, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
"If this word can be passed on to the Queen Mother, then I will indeed no longer be the Queen. Go tell the Emperor that I was unable to persuade the Queen Mother."
In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was eating a popsicle, "Fourth brother, try this new chocolate-flavored ice cream, it's really delicious."
Yinzhen looked at his fourteenth brother with some disdain, "It's already autumn, eat less cold food."
"Fourth brother, the weather is dry in autumn, and it is easy to get angry, so it is best to drink iced drinks."
"You are the best at making trouble. When the time comes, let Wei Lin teach you a lesson. If your body is not up to standard, forget about building a navy."
"Xiao Xia Zi, Xiao Xia Zi~~"
Xiao Xia Zi was standing beside her master, staring at the ice cream on the table, wondering if the chocolate on the outside tasted the same as the one she had at Concubine He's, when she was interrupted by the Fourteenth Prince.
Xiao Xiazi looked at the emperor and then at Su Peisheng cleverly. Seeing that they were all watching the fun, he stepped forward and said, "My Lord, what do you want to ask me for?"
Yinzhen pushed the ice cream on the table towards Xiao Xiazi, and then said proudly: "My brother is concerned about my health, I will be obedient and not eat it."
"I've seen you staring at me for quite some time, so I'm giving these to you."
Xiao Xiazi looked at the emperor again.
"Take the food and share it with the people below."
Xiao Xiazi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord Beile."
Xiao Xiazi trotted down with the things in her arms and just happened to run into Jianqiu who came to report the situation.
"Xia Zi, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Aunt Jianqiu is here," and then put the ice cream on the ground.
"Auntie, wait a moment. I'll go and inform you right away."
Xiao Xiazi came out again quickly, and picked up the ice cream on the ground again, "Aunt, go in, the emperor is waiting inside."
"I pay my respects to His Majesty and to the Fourteenth Master."
"Has the Empress Dowager been settled?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager doesn't want to come out, and she also said there's no need to hold a birthday banquet."
"Well, go back and tell your mother that the birthday banquet will go on as usual. Ask your mother to prepare well."
"Yes."
"Fourth brother, what does mother mean?"
"What else can it mean? You think I'm unfilial. Aren't you just trying to piss me off?"
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. Leave it to me."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back and have a drink."
Everyone in Baohua Palace was packing their luggage. "Your Majesty, our servants have packed their luggage. When are we leaving?"
"Wait."
Time passed little by little until a maid came in to report, "Empress Dowager, the Fourteenth Master wants to see you."
"Please come in quickly."
"Mother~"
"Fourteen, how are you doing lately?"
"Mother, my son is fine. How is mother?"
The Queen Mother's eyes were red, and tears were falling like money. "Mother, what's wrong with you? Who has wronged you? Tell your son, and he will help you vent your anger."
"Silly child, I am the Queen Mother, second only to the Emperor and above all others. Who can make me angry?"
"How did you get into the palace? Did the emperor summon you?"
"Well, my brother said that my mother is old and he doesn't want her to recite scriptures and pray for blessings in Baohua Palace every day. It's too tiring, so he wants her to move back to Shoukang Palace. My brother is afraid that my mother will be stubborn and only care about the Qing Dynasty, so he specially asked me to persuade her."
"As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother was unable to utter a single word of what she originally wanted to say."
"Your brother is thoughtful. How are you now? Will the emperor use you?"
"Don't worry, mother. My brother will use me."
"Well, that's good. You have a simple mind, but you are too jumpy. You need to think more about everything. If you find the right staff, remember to lead them well. After all, you need more people around you to help you, so that I can feel at ease."
"Yes, don't worry, mother. I'm just very busy right now, so I can't come to see you often. Please don't blame me, mother."
"Silly child, mother knows you are busy, so how can I blame you? Okay, mother will move back to Shoukang Palace soon, you can go back first."
"Zhu Xi, let's go back to Shou Kang Palace."
"My Lady, why didn't you tell the Fourteenth Master that you were under house arrest?"
"I do want to, but listen to what Fourteen just said. What do you want me to say? Could it be that I don't have the Great Qing in my heart at all, and I don't want to pray for blessings, and I am banned from this place?"
Zhuxi lowered his head silently and said nothing.
"Great~, brother, you didn't wait for me."
Yinzhen looked at the table full of dishes and quickly sat down at his seat.
"Come back so soon?"
"Don't you see who is doing this?" Yinzhen poured three glasses of wine in a row and drank them all.
Yinzhen couldn't bear to watch and quickly stepped forward to stop him, "What are you doing? You drink so fast and so much, why don't you care about your body?"
Yinti stood up immediately, gave Yinzhen a big bear hug, and then started crying.
Yinzhen:...
Yinzhen pushed hard twice, and finally on the third time he pushed away this brother who was half a head taller than him.
"Tell me, what happened."
"Brother, do you know that as soon as I go, the Empress Dowager will definitely move the palace?"
"Yes."
"The moment the Empress Dowager saw me, she started to cry. If I hadn't known the truth and the reason why Empress Dowager was confined, I would have definitely quarreled with you if I had come back to see you."
"The Empress Dowager was still talking about being second to none and above everyone else. Who could possibly let her wrong me? Thanks to my clever brain, I immediately shut her up with words. She wanted to use me as a tool, but it was impossible."
