Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

At this point, the Queen also felt that this was the best solution.

She can neither take Princess Xueying lightly nor underestimate her.

It’s just that the Empress Dowager was in poor health in her early years and now she’s always feeling unwell.

She could not rest peacefully in the palace, but had to go out to worship Buddha and discipline her only granddaughter, which was very exhausting.

The Queen sighed, "Mother, it's just hard for you!"

The Queen Mother sighed, "What can we do? Alas, this child has a stubborn temper. If she doesn't change, I can still take care of her while I am alive. But after the An family dies, who can protect her?"

Although His Majesty loves Xueying and the Crown Prince is also good to Xueying, as long as she doesn't make any big mistakes.

What Xueying is doing now is something that even the Empress Dowager, her own grandmother, cannot tolerate. His Majesty and the Crown Prince certainly cannot tolerate it either.

The Queen felt very sad. If she had a daughter like this, she would probably be in trouble now.

After the Queen left, the Queen Mother went to Princess Xueying's room in person.

Princess Xueying was now walking back and forth in the room like a headless fly.

Seeing the Royal Grandmother come in with an expressionless face, Princess Xueying was startled.

"Grandma, why... are you here?" Princess Xueying asked stutteringly.

The Queen Mother asked the maid to go down, and then slapped Princess Xueying in the face.

"Look at what you have done. Can you be any more stupid? Poisoning His Majesty's birthday banquet. You really don't know your place!"

"Before Zhou Jin got married, if you were in love with Zhou Jin, I would have risked my reputation to ruin his marriage and snatch this one for you."

"But you never said it. You even said you hated Zhou Jin. You never said a word of truth. When Zhou Jin got married, the couple was in love and made great contributions to the country and the people, you remembered it again! It's too late!"

Princess Xueying was slapped in the face and couldn't believe it.

Seeing her grandmother so angry, she knelt down in anger.

"Grandmother, it's not too late now! As long as Gu Xiling dies, you can grant me and Zhou Jin a marriage. Neither Zhou Jin nor Changning Mansion dare to refuse!"

The Queen Mother slapped Princess Xueying again, and her long armor accidentally scratched Princess Xueying's face.

"You used so many tricks before, and now Gu has died for no reason. How do you think Changning Marquisate will view it? Maybe a daughter-in-law is not that important, but which minister can swallow the anger of seeing his family members' lives being taken away at will?"

"What's more, His Majesty has high hopes for the Changning Marquisate to assist the Crown Prince and stabilize the court. How could he allow you to do whatever you want? You are too stupid, and the key is that you don't even know it. All the things you did were caught by others. If it weren't for the Queen and I protecting you, you would have died three times."

Princess Xueying sat on the ground, looking at the Queen Mother with an aggrieved face, "Grandmother, I can't accept this, I really can't accept this. Why doesn't Zhou Jin like me? I'm beautiful and noble, no one has ever dared to reject me."

The Queen Mother looked at the foolish and unaware Princess Xueying, her body shaking slightly.

"Even if you are unwilling, you have to endure it and shut up. There are thousands of men in the world, why do you keep staring at Zhou Jin? If Zhou Jin has a little affection for you, it would be fine. But since he has clearly stated that he is going to get married, you should stop."

"But you are so good. Since returning to the capital, you have done so many foolish things, which really bring shame to me. Pack up your things and go out with me to worship Buddha."

Princess Xueying was dumbfounded. It had not been long since she and her grandmother came back from worshipping Buddha, and now they had to go worshipping Buddha again?

She's had enough!

"Grandmother, the capital is a good place. Let's stay here." Princess Xueying stood up, shaking the Empress Dowager's clothes, begging.

The Empress Dowager showed disappointment. She thought that such a foolish person might not have a good ending even if he was brought to such a wealthy mansion.

"You have ruined all of this." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "Originally, I brought you back to find a husband for you, but now it is not possible. Go outside and worship Buddha, hide for a year or so, and when things have calmed down, I will bring you back."

The Empress Dowager knows Emperor Kangping best.

The control over the court and the importance attached to court officials exceeded that of the harem.

After all, there is only one prince, who is too weak, and the foreign princes are ready to make moves.

The ones who can help Your Majesty fight against the foreign vassal kings are the ministers in the court.

The official chosen by His Majesty to balance the power of the maternal relative Li Guojiu was Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning. Zhou Jin was carefully selected and polished by Emperor Kangping to be left to the crown prince.

We must use both kindness and severity to treat these court officials.

What Princess Xueying did challenged the bottom line of the Changning Marquisate. Wasn't it also a challenge to His Majesty's bottom line?

If we don't take Princess Xueying away now, this idiot's willful behavior will consume all the remaining friendship.

The final outcome is either a cup of poisoned wine or a three-foot white silk.

No matter how Princess Xueying begged, the Queen Mother did not give in this time. She did not even return to the palace and took Princess Xueying directly to the south of the Yangtze River.

There were 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. Although the previous dynasty had experienced the destruction of Buddhism, there were still more temples in the South than in the North.

In addition, the climate in the south is suitable and the resources are abundant, so the Empress Dowager likes to go to Buddhist temples in the south to worship Buddha.

Last time, Princess Xueying was taken away. This time, the Queen Mother went to worship Buddha and also took Princess Xueying away. It is normal.

The Empress Dowager saw him off, but Emperor Kangping did not show up.

This is very different from before.

The Empress Dowager felt a chill down her spine and dared not say anything more.

As for the granddaughter beside her, she had been given a calming soup and was now fast asleep.

This is better, there is no crying and shouting.

The Queen Mother returned to the palace to meet Emperor Kangping.

"Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate that you didn't send the Queen Mother off?"

Emperor Kangping put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at the queen. "Xueying has gone too far this time. I tolerated the things she did before. But she actually poisoned Gu and Zhou Jin. If Xueying succeeds this time, Queen, do you know what the consequences will be?"

The Queen sighed quietly, "You and I have been married for so many years, and Your Majesty has walked on thin ice all these years. Now we only have one child, the Crown Prince, so I don't have to worry about someone else taking the Crown Prince's position."

"It is extremely dangerous for the royal family and the crown prince. I often have nightmares, fearing that something bad might happen to the crown prince."

Emperor Kangping nodded and said, "Li Niang, Prince Ning rebelled. If it weren't for Marquis Changning, I might have been dead. If there weren't officials like Marquis Changning who are loyal to the court and to me, those princes would have committed atrocities long ago."

"Queen, I believe your brother will not have the intention of rebellion, but can you guarantee that your nephew will not have the intention of rebellion? Will your nephew and grandnephew not have the intention of rebellion in the future? Don't blame me for using court officials to contain the Li family."

When the Queen heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am begging you here. If the Li family has any intention of disobeying you, you don't need to worry about my and the Crown Prince's face. Just handle it impartially."

My parents’ family is important, but my son is more important.

In the previous dynasty, the throne was seized by the father-in-law from his son-in-law.

There is no reason why grandpa can snatch it, but uncle and cousin can’t!
