Chapter 61
Shuwan looked innocently at the fourth elder brother, "It's really not my intention to offend the emperor..."
Look at my sincere Kazilan big eyes!
The fourth elder brother was helpless, "It's no use pretending to be good with me, let's see how the emperor punishes you later!"
Shuwan rolled her big eyes, she is not afraid!
The emperor is his father-in-law, not his own father, and Shuwan is his daughter-in-law, not his daughter.If the emperor wanted to discipline his daughter-in-law, he had to be careful. Shuwan's mistake was not a big mistake. He couldn't divorce Shuwan, let alone beat her.
Since this is the case, Shuwan is still afraid of a ball!
The emperor sent a summons, so Chun'er and Xia'er put on a headdress for Shuwan together, Shuwan tidied up her clothes, and let Nanny Ning get some snacks.
"Brother, eat a little bit. You have been tired all morning. I don't know how long the emperor will scold you. You should eat something first."
Shuwan was still in the mood to put rouge on her lips, and the fourth elder brother absent-mindedly choked on two pieces of snacks.
Shuwan poured him a bowl of tea and told him to go smoothly.
"The emperor told us to go over, are you nervous?"
The fourth elder brother admitted, "A little bit."
The emperor is not an ordinary father, he is the emperor's father, the fourth elder brother, as a son, must carefully consider every word he says in front of the emperor like an ordinary courtier.
As long as the prince is afraid of the emperor's reprimand, especially if some reprimands will be recorded, wouldn't it be passed on to future generations?He also wants to save face!
Shuwan persuaded the fourth elder brother to relax, "It was my fault, and the emperor will scold me as well. When the time comes, you just push it away and pretend you don't know anything."
The fourth elder brother shook his head, how could it be as easy as what Shuwan said, they are a husband and wife, and Fujin made mistakes, how can he, as a husband, shirk responsibility?
The fourth elder brother drank water to moisten his throat, and the couple packed up and set off together.
The sedan chair has been prepared, but the direction of travel is not the Qianqing Palace.
The fourth elder brother asked the eunuch who sent the message, "Is the emperor in Ningshou Palace?"
The eunuch replied in a good voice: "Yes, the emperor is with the queen mother. As for what is going on, Sibei Le will know when he goes."
Shuwan and his wife soon arrived at Ningshou Palace, and the eunuch led them in. The fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother had already arrived, and they were both kneeling on the ground, but the emperor and queen mother were not seen.
The fourth elder brother pulled Shuwan to kneel down, Shuwan glanced at it, there were many court ladies and eunuchs standing in the room, fifth elder brother and the others all lowered their heads, not daring to whisper.She also bowed her head obediently and waited quietly for the emperor.
The eunuch who sent the message to the fourth elder brother turned around and went to the main hall to report to the emperor.
"Your majesty, elder brothers Fujin are all here."
The emperor and the queen mother were eating, the emperor wiped his mouth, and asked slowly: "What's wrong with Si elder brother and Si Fujin?"
"Nothing unusual, looks very calm."
The emperor waved his hand and let him go down first.
The queen mother smiled at the emperor: "I will leave this matter to you! I really don't know what to do! I like the fourth daughter-in-law very much, and I also like the eighth daughter-in-law. It's not good for me to prefer either."
The emperor smiled bitterly, you don't want to offend others, so you leave the offending to me?
It stands to reason that the emperor does not need to come forward for such trivial matters as daughter-in-law quarreling, but the queen mother doesn't want to worry about it. The princess is in confinement, so the emperor can't ignore the queen mother's wishes, so he can only let this matter go on.
The Queen Mother said: "Since everyone is here, let's go there!"
The emperor smiled, and ordered some food for the empress dowager, "No hurry, let's dry them first. The emperor's mother, try this dish, it tastes good."
The few young couples who were left waiting became more and more anxious. They were worried that the emperor would punish them.
Shuwan was also anxious because she was hungry.When she just went out, she was only focused on reminding the fourth elder brother to eat snacks, but forgot that she hadn't eaten all morning.
After waiting for some time, the emperor and queen mother finally arrived.
Shuwan and the others hurriedly kowtowed to salute, the emperor helped the queen mother to sit down, the maid served tea, and waited for the emperor to drink the tea slowly before letting Shuwan and the others get up.
"The eighth daughter-in-law said that you three sister-in-laws deliberately bullied her, what do you three say?"
The emperor stretched out his finger to Shuwan, thought for a while and moved it to Wu Fujin, "Old fifth daughter-in-law, you speak first."
Wu Fujin was extremely nervous. She had been a good child since she was a child, and she was terrified of imperial power and patriarchal power.
"I..." Wu Fujin stirred the handkerchief vigorously, "My daughter-in-law is the most timid, she has never bullied others..."
The fifth elder brother said impatiently: "How dare you lie in front of Huang Ama? There are so many people in the palace, why did the eighth brother and sister sue you instead of others! If you did something wrong, admit it quickly, and correct you as soon as possible." What a rot!"
The fifth elder brother felt that Fujin was ignorant, especially after she and Si Fujin got together, her temper became more and more violent.Either ignore him by not talking, or block him with words.
Now the fifth elder brother also has a lot of opinions on Shuwan, and thinks that Shuwan has led Wu Fujin badly.
Wu Fujin was very nervous at first, she did bully Ba Fujin, and she also said a few words to her, she denied it in front of the emperor, she was indeed suspected of bullying the emperor.
But now that Brother Wu has trained her, she is not nervous at all.She figured it out, she had a clear mind.Renshan is bullied by others, because she is too soft-tempered, so everyone wants to bully her, even her closest husband.
Fifth elder brother's words were like flames, igniting the bonfire in Wu Fujin's heart.
She yelled, "I did nothing wrong! I didn't!"
Wu Fujin's voice was unprecedentedly loud, and the fifth elder brother was stunned. After many years of marriage, he had never heard Wu Fujin speak so loudly.
Wu Fujin straightened his back and looked forward, "I didn't bully Ba Fujin! After the greetings were over, I went back with my fourth sister-in-law and seventh sibling, and we met my eighth sibling on the palace road and said a few words. We didn't even say hello, we parted after a few words, I don't understand why Bafujin wanted to frame me!"
Wu Fujin said in tears: "Since I entered the palace, only others have bullied me. I have never bullied others!"
After saying these words, Wu Fujin's legs and feet were weak, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably, but his heart was unprecedentedly happy.
The emperor looked at Wu Fujin in surprise, no matter whether it was in the front court or the harem, many people lied in front of him, Wu Fujin was so excited, it seemed that he should be telling the truth, the balance in the emperor's heart was first tilted towards Wu Fujin.
The emperor asked Qi Fujin to speak again.
Qifujin said with a low eyebrow, "The whole story is just as Fifth Sister-in-Law said, I have nothing to add."
The emperor finally asked Shuwan to say, "Does the fourth daughter-in-law have anything to add?"
Shuwan thought for a while and said: "Yes! Huang Ama Mingjian, I really didn't bully the eighth sibling, but my relationship with the eighth sibling is indeed not good."
The emperor asked: "What's wrong? Tell me carefully."
"The reason for this matter is relatively trivial, please listen to me in detail.
In the beginning, the princess gave birth to a child, and the eighth brother and sister invited us to discuss gifts.The eighth brother and sister want to join in and send porridge outside the palace to accumulate blessings for the children. She has already prepared the manpower, and we only need to pay for it.Things are good things, but we have already prepared gifts, and we are embarrassed to take advantage of our younger siblings.
After we declined, the eighth younger siblings became unhappy and sneered at us.Said that the seventh younger brother and sister can't be a family, and they have to ask the seventh elder brother for instructions on matters of several hundred taels of silver, and ridiculed that the fifth younger brother and sister have no rules in their family, and let the concubine be the head of the house.I had a bad temper, so I gave her a few words at the time, but I didn't expect this to plant the root of the conflict.
This morning, a lady praised the eight younger brothers and sisters for their intelligence, and actually came up with a good idea of giving porridge to accumulate blessings.I was listening quietly at the time, but the eighth sibling pointed at me deliberately, saying that I did not want to participate.I didn't expect her to be so narrow-minded, isn't it just not as she wanted?She actually holds a grudge like this!I gave her a few more words, and in front of all the empresses and wives in the harem, I said that I didn't want to get along with her.
Then it was the same as what the two younger siblings said. After the greetings were over, the two younger siblings and I went home together. On the way, we met the eighth younger siblings and parted ways after a few words of greeting.
Everything I said is true, please learn from Huang Ama. "
The fourth elder brother glanced at Shuwan, he didn't understand, what's the use of Shuwan's elaboration of these past events, in her narration, she is not a master of peace, so the emperor won't hate her?
The fourth elder brother can't figure it out, but it doesn't prevent him from pleading with his wife.
He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowing firmly.
"Huang Ama forgive me, it's my son who spoiled Fujin, my son will be patient and persuade me when I go back."
Brother Qi also knelt down and pleaded for Qi Fujin.The husbands knelt down to intercede, so of course Shuwan and Qifujin had to kneel down too.
The fifth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother, then at the seventh younger brother, and pulled Wu Fujin to kneel down with the flow.
The emperor was not in a hurry to wake them up, he took a sip of tea and ordered people to invite Ba Fujin and Ba Age.
After a while, Brother Ba helped Ba Fujin into the house.Fujin pinched the handkerchief to cover her face, seeing Shuwan and others kneeling, a smile appeared on the corner of Fujin's mouth, it seemed that the emperor still favored him!
Eight elder brothers and eight blessings saluted the emperor, and the emperor asked Shuwan and others to get up.
After Shuwan and the others got up, they looked at the Eighth Fortune, and before they greeted each other, Shuwan opened her mouth in surprise.
Ba Fujin's cheeks were swollen and tall, and there were traces of fingernails on his neck.The two maids behind her were also miserable, as if they were grabbed and beaten.
The emperor said: "Old eighth daughter-in-law, please tell me what happened after paying your respects."
Ba Fujin's eyes were red immediately, she sniffed and pretended to be strong and said: "After the greetings were over, the three sister-in-laws blocked me halfway. There are so many people, we can't beat them at all. I don't understand how to annoy several sister-in-laws and let them hurt me like this!"
Shuwan understood that she was deliberately harming me with a bitter trick, which is the same as deliberately diving into the pool in ancient romance dramas.
Oh Yo!I feel so low!
The fourth elder brother asked in a cold voice: "Since the two sides are fighting each other, why is only your maid injured? The other three and their maids have no wounds, and their clothes and hair accessories are neat and tidy."
The eighth elder brother defended his wife strongly, "fourth brother, they are many and powerful, and they suddenly hold down my Fujin and the palace maid. They are weak, how can they be against me?"
Seventh elder brother said: "Although being held down, there will always be physical evidence left during the struggle, right? Could it be that these women didn't even lose an earring or a hairpin after fighting for a long time?"
The palace maid of the Eight Fujin raised an earring, "This was taken off by the servants at the time when they were not paying attention!"
There was a small pearl hanging under that earring, Chun'er was so frightened that she covered her ears, how could her earring be in the hands of the maid of honor!
Everyone looked at Chun'er, who knelt down at Shuwan's feet.
"Fujin Mingjian, the slave didn't hit anyone, and I don't know when I lost the earring!"
The fourth elder brother said: "Jewelry is not strong. It may be lost if you sit quietly. An earring is not enough evidence. Since you are being held down, you must grab other people's sleeves first when you resist. Chun'er The embroidery pattern on the sleeves is smooth, it doesn't look like it has been torn by someone."
Eighth Prince said: "She has been back for such a long time, maybe she has changed clothes."
The fourth elder brother asked: "Then please tell the eighth brother and sister what clothes everyone was wearing when the conflict broke out."
Eighth Prince: "My Fujin is weak and timid, the incident happened suddenly, how do I remember this?"
The fourth elder brother said: "I, Fujin, wore this dress this morning when I went out to pay my respects. There were so many people paying my respects at that time, someone would always remember what they were wearing."
Eighth elder brother said: "Please come here, ladies and gentlemen, it will be motivating the Taixing master. We still have witnesses here!"
The emperor waved his hand, and his personal eunuch hurriedly shouted: "Certificate of succession!"
Two eunuchs and two maids came in, and after they knelt down, Brother Eight said, "Tell me everything you know!"
One of the eunuchs with the highest rank said: "At that time, the slave was leading his apprentice to run an errand. When he turned the corner and walked to the palace road, he saw a group of people surrounded in front of him. The slave thought that something serious had happened, so he quickly led his apprentice to look. In front of him, the group of people broke up, leaving only Bafujin and her two maids sitting on the ground, describing it as a mess."
The maid said: "The servants also passed by that palace road on business. At that time, the servants saw a few Fujins and were about to retreat to the side of the road to salute. Then they saw three Fujins leading the maids to hurt people. The servants hurried to persuade them to fight, but they didn't persuade them." Cheng did not say that he was pushed to the side of the road, and his shoulders are still blue."
The eighth elder brother asked the emperor to call the shots, "The three sister-in-laws can speak up if they have any dissatisfaction. Why do they humiliate people like this? The palace has always been harmonious, and my son never thought that such a thing would happen in his own home!"
Shuwan said: "Master Babeile, don't rush to convict us, we will never admit what we haven't done, I still have a question to ask."
"Sisao, just ask!"
The eighth elder brother looks handsome, but at the moment he is upright and awe-inspiring, making Shuwan look like a villain.
Shuwan turned around and asked the maids and eunuchs, "Since you are eyewitnesses, then tell me how we beat people? To be more specific, which one hits first and which one hits last, who hits the hardest? Where must be."
The eunuch and court lady gave Shuwan a fearful look, "The one who struck first... was you, and the one who hit hardest... was also you."
They pointed out that some court ladies held down Fujin, and they pointed out that Fujin was the one who slapped Fujin.
The eunuch next to the emperor said: "Your Majesty, what they say is exactly the same as what the eight Fujin said, there is no discrepancy."
Shuwan stepped forward and said: "Huang Ama, the biggest problem is that the testimonies are exactly the same. People's memory is limited. I heard from the two father-in-laws that they saw people surrounding them from a distance, so they went up to look. Since this is the case, How do they know that I am the strongest?"
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Fu Jin, your green clothes are the most conspicuous, and you can easily recognize the action of slapping someone's mouth. I don't know how many times servants have been beaten since they were young, so you must know the action of slapping the mouth."
"Okay, even if that's the case. Everyone's attention is limited. You may notice here, she may notice there. In such a panic situation, it is impossible for you to pay attention to the overall situation. How can the testimony be exactly the same? "
Eighth Brother explained: "Maybe it's because they didn't interrogate them separately. The few of them verified each other. It's common for the memory to be a little confused."
"Okay! Lord Babeile said yes!" Shuwan looked at the emperor, "I implore Huang Ama to give me one last chance to reenact the case."
After listening to the argument between the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, the emperor had already made up his mind at this time.However, the reenactment of the case mentioned by the fourth daughter-in-law is quite interesting. He has never seen it before and wants to see something new.
"The eighth brother and sister are weak, I dare not labor her." Shuwan pointed to the four witnesses, "You four stand up and pretend that you are Eighth Fujin and her two court ladies."
The eunuch said cautiously: "Si Fujin, we are four people, and Eight Fujin are three people."
Shuwan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less."
The eunuchs and court ladies looked at the emperor, stood up and stood back.
The other elder brothers retreated to the sides to make room for them.
Shuwan said, "Should the four of you go up together?"
The four witnesses looked at each other and said together: "The slaves dare not."
"Okay! Then I'll go straight to it, which happens to be in line with the situation where the eighth younger siblings are suddenly attacked."
After finishing speaking, Shuwan flexed her wrist and punched the head eunuch. The sudden fist appeared in front of her eyes, which made the eunuch break out in cold sweat. His eyes staring at Shuwan's fist became cross-eyed.
Shuwan didn't hit it hard, her fist turned into a claw, grabbed the eunuch's shoulder and unloaded it, with a click, the eunuch's shoulder dislocated.
Shuwan didn't pause, taking advantage of the eunuch's lack of reaction, she threw him back, grabbed his other arm, and untied it from shoulder to elbow to wrist.
The people present heard a few crackling sounds, and the eunuch fell to the ground wailing.
Shuwan walked to the next eunuch, but the eunuch turned around and ran away in fright.Shuwan took a few quick steps, knocked off his left arm, and then kicked towards his leg, causing the eunuch to come straight to him.The eunuch groaned, and didn't know whether to press his left arm or his leg with his still-usable right arm.
The remaining two maids were terrified, and one of the maids was so frightened that she closed her eyes and screamed, swinging her arms like hot wheels.
Shuwan easily walked around to her side, raised her foot to hook, the maid leaned back, Shuwan put her arms around her waist, cushioned her, and threw it on the ground.
There was only the last court lady left, she looked at Shuwan with dull eyes, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed non-stop.
"I beg Fujin to forgive me, this slave will never dare again!"
Shuwan smiled and asked, "Don't dare to do anything?"
The maid shook her head in a panic, not daring to speak.She was afraid that just after surviving from Si Fujin's hands, she would fall into the hands of Ba Fujin and die in a blink of an eye.
Shuwan walked back and reset the joints of the two eunuchs.
She stood up and bowed gracefully to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I only quarreled with Bafujin a few times, and never beat her. As you can see, with the means of my daughter-in-law, I don't need the help of the fifth and seventh siblings at all, and I don't need the help of the fifth and seventh siblings. I don’t need a court lady to help me hold people down.”
Brother Ba and Fujin were both stupid, especially Fujin. In order to carry out her plan, she slapped herself cruelly and even scratched her neck with bleeding marks.
But who would have thought that Sifujin was so cruel, and those two eunuchs were quite strong, so she just downplayed it and solved it easily?
Bafujin was so anxious that her back was sweating. She had never heard of Sifujin's martial arts being so good.It's too bad now, Sifu Jin is so powerful, why bother to tear her up in a disrespectful manner, if she fails to frame her, she might be reprimanded by the emperor.
The fourth elder brother and the others were also very surprised. The layman watched the excitement, while the expert watched the way.The elder brothers can all see that Shuwan's moves are very subtle, at least much better than the fourth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother thought to himself, no wonder the fourth brother loves his wife so much, it turned out that he couldn't beat her!
Brother Seven also had the same idea as him, and both gave Brother Four sympathetic looks.
The fourth elder brother was in a very complicated mood. He had slept in the same bed with Fujin for two years, but he didn't even know that his wife had such abilities.
The emperor applauded and said with a smile: "As expected of a tiger girl in the general gate, she is very skilled in martial arts!"
He pointed at the fourth elder brother and said with a smile: "You have been compared!"
The queen mother, who had always been the background board, also applauded and laughed, "The fourth daughter-in-law is amazing! She is a warrior!"
Shuwan said solemnly: "When my daughter-in-law was at home, Ama often taught me that practicing martial arts is not for showing off, nor for being brave and fierce, but for strengthening my body. I don't think I am special, I am a muscle , has a hot temper, and is a brainless reckless man. The fourth elder brother has always tolerated me and taught me how to behave in private, so I didn't make people laugh. I didn't want to hit people, I just wanted to be a husband and a child virtuous wife, but I cannot bear this kind of injustice."
The fourth elder brother felt much better all of a sudden, and he was really easy to coax.
The emperor nodded, "Your Mama taught well, and the fourth brother also did well."
After praising Shuwan, the emperor should make a decision.
"Children in the countryside know that brothers are of one heart. You have been studying since childhood, and you have been taught by great Confucians, but you still don't understand the principle of brotherhood. I am very sad."
Everyone quickly knelt down, "Son/wife knows his mistake."
The emperor said again: "The third child will move out this year, and the fourth and fifth will also move out next year. How long can you brothers live together? Now that I am still alive, when I am gone, will there be a break between you brothers?"
Everyone hurriedly kowtowed again, "Son/wife knows his mistake."
The Queen Mother sighed, "Oh! You are doing this, it is very bad for you! Don't be angry with your Emma!"
The crowd quickly said yes.
The emperor said: "Today's matter ends here, let's turn it over here. You shake hands and make peace. From now on, a sister-in-law will be like a sister-in-law, and a sister-in-law will be like a sister-in-law. No more troubles."
Everyone kowtowed, "Remember Huang Ama's teachings."
The emperor ordered everyone to stand up, and Shuwan was the first to apologize to Ba Fujin.
"Thousands of mistakes are all my fault. I have a bad mouth. I hope the eighth siblings don't care about me." After finishing speaking, Shuwan saluted.
Shuwan is very relaxed about her posture, she will not lose a piece of meat when she squats down, she is not respecting the eighth Fujin, she is saluting for the emperor to see.
Bafujin squatted deeper than Shuwan, "Sister-in-law is serious, it's all my fault."
Wufujin and Qifujin also came to apologize, and Bafujin hurriedly returned the salute.
The scene was harmonious, and the Queen Mother clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay, okay, that's good, no more quarrels!"
The emperor said: "I hope you are not acting in front of my face. In the future, if I am not around, you must be in harmony like this. This matter cannot be slapped with a single slap. All of you are at fault. Are you convinced when I say this?"
The emperor is the boss, he can do whatever he says, how dare Shuwan and others refuse to accept it.
The emperor said: "The fourth daughter-in-law is a sister-in-law who doesn't know how to take care of her younger siblings. I will punish you to copy the virtues of female precepts and female virtues, and then copy a few scriptures to sharpen your hostility."
Shuwan hurriedly saluted, "My daughter-in-law knows her mistake and is willing to be punished."
The emperor said to Ba Fujin again: "You have to be punished if you don't respect your sister-in-law, and you will be fined for half a year!"
Ba Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, this punishment is not serious, and she does not rely on monthly routines to live with a generous dowry.
The emperor asked Wu Fujin, the fourth, seventh, and eighth couples to go back first, leaving the fifth elder brother alone.
The fifth elder brother muttered in his heart, isn't this matter all resolved?What to do with him?
The emperor ignored the son, and asked the eunuch to drag down the witnesses first.The eunuch knew where to drag them without asking.
The tea in front of the emperor was cold, so he ordered people to bring it up.He pays attention to health preservation, even in the scorching summer, he rarely uses ice.
The ice basin in the temple clanged, the ice cubes inside melted, and the ice cubes stacked on top slipped into the water.
The fifth elder brother was tired from standing, and he was hungry again. He looked at the queen mother, and wanted the grandmother who raised him to intercede for him. What the hell is Huang Ama going to say!
The emperor said: "What do you think the queen mother is doing? Don't you know what you did wrong even now?"
The fifth elder brother said carefully: "My son is dull, please ask Huang Ama for advice."
"You are filial and considerate to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, and you are loving and caring to your brothers. Everyone praises you for being kind and honest. Why don't you treat Fujin better?"
The fifth elder brother refused to admit it, "My son thinks he is kind to her..."
"Here just now, the fourth, the seventh, and the eighth all know to protect their daughter-in-law, but you, the first sentence is to criticize Wu Fujin! Did Wu Fujin do something unreasonable? Did she beat you or scold you, you Do you want to treat her like this? You can speak well to outsiders, why do you have to hurt your own wife? "
Because of what the emperor said, the fifth elder brother reflected for a while.Indeed, he always seemed to have a bad attitude towards Fujin.
The emperor said: "I looked at it coldly, Wu Fujin didn't please you just because she was not good at words and didn't know how to please you. You can use her as a decoration to spoil Gege you like. But you are right just because she is not good at words." Don't you think it's too much for her to speak coldly?"
The fifth elder brother quickly admitted his mistake, "My son knows his mistake, and my son will never dare again."
The emperor waved his hand wearily, "Go back and reflect! Don't stand in my way!"
The fifth elder brother stepped back quickly, and the emperor rubbed his forehead in annoyance.The fifth elder brother was raised by the queen mother, so this matter should be taken care of by the queen mother, but the queen mother really can't point it out.He is both a father and a mother!
The queen mother smiled at the emperor, "Your majesty is really powerful, everyone believes what you said. I can't do it anymore. I see that the fifth child and his wife are not good, so I can only act anxiously. I will not persuade you."
The emperor smiled and said: "Emperor Niang just enjoy the blessings, I'm here! When the crown princess is out of confinement, you can find her if you have anything to do."
The queen mother doesn't worry about anything, she is not a smart person, she was protected by the queen mother when she was young, and protected by the emperor when she was old.
It is said that the first emperor didn't like her and always wanted to find an excuse to abolish her.At that time, the empress dowager was ill, and the empress dowager didn't know how to take care of her sickness with a protective umbrella. The former emperor took advantage of her and was about to depose her. Fortunately, the empress dowager stopped her.
The emperor has nothing to do with this aunt, he can only try his best to protect her.Furthermore, he also hoped that his aunt would live a long life. He lacked both fatherly love and maternal love. After the empress dowager passed away, his closest elder was only the empress dowager.
The emperor smiled and asked the queen mother, "Now the fourth daughter-in-law and the eighth daughter-in-law, which one do you like?"
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Oh! That's needless to say! Of course I like the fourth daughter-in-law! I didn't have her skills back then. If I had the ability, I would definitely beat the late emperor a few times to vent my anger!"
emperor:"……"
