The aunt of Princess Chunning's husband has recently been trying to find an official position for her youngest son and has been asking for favors everywhere.

Even Qin Yaoguang knew about this matter. She heard someone mention it the last time she attended a banquet at the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

They are all aristocratic families. Why didn't the Lu family go directly to the Grand Tutor Xie Shu, who controls the government, but instead went through Chun Ning to seek the Empress Dowager's help? Even Qin Yaoguang, who felt that he lacked political acumen, sensed something was wrong behind it.

"Chun Ning," the Empress Dowager said slowly, "You and your husband should live your life behind closed doors and don't get involved in the affairs of the court. Carry that basket of Fengshui pears back to the Lu family."

"But mother," the seemingly delicate Princess Chunning retorted, "the prince consort treats his daughter very well, you should accept the gifts they give you."

"How good is it? Tell me about it."

The Empress Dowager looked unhappy and said, "I know that Lu Yi often goes to red-light districts and composes poems with others."

"Mother..."

Princess Chunning held the handkerchief tightly and said softly, "Since the Prince Consort cannot serve as an official for me, what's the harm in having some hobbies? I can't sing or dance, and I can't even have a child. He loves and respects me."

Speaking of her husband, Princess Chunning's face lit up with pride. "My husband said that even though I can't do anything and I'm out of breath after walking a few steps, he will treat me well in this life. There is no one else except him."

Regardless of how the empress dowager, who loved her children very much, felt after hearing these words, Qin Yao was filled with questions.

Why did what Chun Ning said sound so familiar to her?

Oh, so it turns out to be the PUA rhetoric used by modern scumbags.

He belittled her, insulted her, made her feel worthless and that she could only depend on this man to survive, and he enjoyed it.

What kind of scumbag is this so-called prince consort?

"If he really respected you, he wouldn't let you be talked about by others. You're a princess who can't control her husband!" The Queen Mother said unhappily, "But you're so obsessed with doing things for him?"

"Mother, how can you say that?"

Princess Chunning said aggrievedly, "My husband is the legitimate son of the Lu family. He originally had a bright future. But he has to live an idle life every day just for me. I can't do much, but I can always share his worries."

The Empress Dowager held her forehead with her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't argue with you."

What a debt she owed to her children in this life. She had one legitimate son and two legitimate daughters, but none of them inherited the wisdom and bravery of the late emperor. Each one was more disappointing than the other.

Le Yang finally figured it out, but Chun Ning was still as confused as ever!

If I had known earlier, I should not have been fooled by the submissive appearance of the boy from the Lu family. Even if I found a poor student to be my consort, it would be better than the current one.

The Queen Mother said, "The Lu family's things cannot be taken. You take them back."

"Mother..."

Princess Chunning was about to say something, but Qin Yaoguang said, "My dear sister, my mother is tired. Why don't I take my leave with you and come back when she's in better spirits?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she waved at the two people and told them to leave quickly.

Qin Yaoguang set up a ladder, but Chun Ning didn't understand the meaning and wanted to stay here to pester the empress dowager to agree.

What kind of people are these three royal siblings in the original book!

The emperor has mediocre ability in governing the country and does not know how to be a king. The eldest princess grew up spoiled and is domineering and ostentatious. The younger sister is a love-brained girl who is completely controlled by her husband.

Oh no, these two sisters are both love-brained.

The common point of these three people is that they can't understand what people say.

Qin Yaoguang sighed in her heart, took Chun Ning's arm and said, "I went to the Anguogong Mansion for a banquet the other day, and heard that your mansion had two new skinny horses from Yangzhou, so I wanted to go and see them."

"Royal sister, you don't want to welcome me, do you?"

This skinny horse is not a real horse, but a pretty girl from a poor family bought by skilled merchants in Yangzhou. They are carefully trained and taught to sing, dance, play chess, calligraphy and painting. When they grow up, they are sold to rich men as concubines or to marry into brothels.

The name of Yangzhou skinny horses is known throughout the world.

Although this annoys the wives of wealthy families, men flock to them and feel proud of owning one, and it becomes a topic of bragging.

It is very rare for someone like Princess Chunning to open her palace gates to welcome someone.

"how could be?"

When Princess Chunning heard this, she immediately said, "My husband said that although they are skinny horses, they have something that we cannot match. I should learn from them."

"Sister, your husband is about to return to the capital. Do you want to learn from him too?"

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

The Empress Dowager could no longer bear it and slammed the table, saying, "How can a skinny horse that is not even worthy of being on the stage be worthy of my royal family's learning?!"

"Le Yang, go to Chun Ning Mansion right now and drive these two guys out! Stop getting in the way!"

Before Qin Yaoguang could say anything, Chun Ning's face turned pale and he pleaded, "Mother, they are all very smart women. How can you vent your anger on them? Don't you love me anymore and want to make your husband unhappy?"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that veins popped out on her forehead.

Where does this nonsense come from? I was clearly supporting her, but now I am being accused of something wrong.

This girl has been deeply brainwashed!

Qin Yaoguang sighed inwardly, and hurriedly pulled Chun Ning away, saying as he walked away, "Mother, I will take my leave first, and will come to greet you when I have time."

She pinched Chun Ning under the cover of her sleeve.

Chun Ning then reluctantly said goodbye.

After leaving Xining Palace, Princess Chunning could not help but complain, "Sister, why does the Queen Mother refuse to see my Prince Consort?"

"When I was unmarried, my mother loved me so much and gave me everything I wanted. Why is it that after I got married, she refused to agree to anything I asked for?" She really couldn't understand.

Qin Yaoguang rolled his eyes in his heart.

You also know that the Empress Dowager loves you, so why do you call her "Prince Consort" all the time?

"Royal sister, if you behave like this, your elder sister will have to say something to you."

Qin Yaoguang said, "You also know that was before you got married. When you wanted the moon in the sky, your mother wanted to pick it for you. But look at you. All these things you want now are for your husband. What do you want your mother to do?"

Princess Chunning widened her eyes in surprise and said, "My husband and I are one and the same. Is there anything wrong with asking for things for him?"

Qin Yaoguang was speechless.

Her twisted logic seems to make sense.

No wonder even Chun Ning himself was deeply involved in it, not knowing whether it was done by the prince consort or the Lu family behind the scenes.

"Let's go to your house."

Qin Yaoguang got on Princess Chunning's carriage, opened the curtain and ordered: "Madame Deng, have someone send the prescription and sandalwood paste given by the empress dowager back to the princess's residence, and tell Chun Xing and Chun Tao to prepare it according to the prescription and give it to the fourth child to nourish his hair at night."

She had originally planned to go to the East and West markets to look at the shops first, but now she changed her mind and decided to go to Princess Chunning's mansion to take a look.

Qin Yaoguang was really curious about how this prince consort named Lu Yi succeeded in PUAing a princess.
