The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"Where will Your Highness take Yinxi?"

Mu Tingxue held her child in her arms and saw a group of soldiers leading a black carriage parked at the entrance of Brocade Building.

That carriage looked like a prison carriage.

"Enter the palace."

Seeing her worry, Yan Yang comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I will clear her name."

Mu Tingxue felt relieved.

Yan Yang looked at her deeply, took out the invitation letter from his sleeve, put it down, turned around and left without saying anything else.

Zebao: "Yo ho."

Mu Tingxue: "..."

Zebao took his father's invitation letter, opened it on his own, and sent it to his mother to show her: "Dad also wants to play with us."

My father is such a badass that he doesn’t even know how to coax my mother when he invites her to the Lantern Festival.As expected, this family would not be able to survive without me.

"Mom, let's go together. Daddy is alone at home every year at the lantern festival. It's quite pitiful." Zebao gently shook her arm and said coquettishly, "Call Wuya to come too, okay?"

Mu Tingxue was in a daze and said the word "good" out of nowhere.

Royal Palace.

A majestic and dazzling ceremonial guard led two warm carriages with yellow curtains and soft golden eaves, and sixteen eunuchs on each side carrying the carriages.

32 lifts is the standard for the Emperor's ceremonial guard.

Amazingly, there are two lifts!

The golden curtain on the left is embroidered with a phoenix, and the Empress Dowager Yan is riding on it. She actually uses the same specifications as the young emperor on the right. This is obviously beyond the regulations, but no one dares to say it.

This is the Chinese New Year to worship ancestors. I just came back from the Xie family’s ancestral temple.

The Queen Mother looked unhappy at the moment. She was worshiping her ancestors in the ancestral hall of the ancestral temple. She met the eldest princess of Jiehu. The two had a big quarrel. The eldest princess scolded her for stealing the Xie family's empire, and severely beat the people around her. The maid vents her anger in Yueci.

Xie Jie Hu Zhanli was also orthodox to the royal family. The civil servants in the court read the books of sages and respected the lineage inheritance, and most of them also sided with the eldest princess.

Yan Ya hates this sister-in-law very much, and has been fighting for half her life. Although she has great power and is the queen mother who listens to politics from behind the curtain, she has a shady reputation. The biggest disadvantage is that she has no children!

In fact, with the current power of the Yan family in civil, military and political affairs, they can already rebel.

But Yan Yang was unwilling to rebel.

Their aunt and nephew once had an in-depth discussion on this issue. Yan Yang was a very powerful minister and had 50 troops to control the north. He believed that the cost of rebellion was too high and it was easy to lose money. Once it failed, the Nine Tribes would lose all their money. Even if Success is also unjust and unjust, and he will be criticized by the world's scholars. At that time, all the princes, governors, and rebel armies will be able to lead troops to attack Yundu to defeat him under the banner of justice.

"Hey--"

Queen Mother Yan was so worried that she sighed heavily.

She remembered that Yan Yang had once analyzed the history of more than 21 emperors in the 300 dynasties with her. The number of successful rebels could be counted on one hand, and most of them had extremely tragic endings.

"It would be great if Qing Yuan is still alive."

She has no son, only a princess.Qing Yuan is the most orthodox bloodline of the royal family. What Empress Dowager Yan wants is that if she marries her daughter to Yan Yang, the child born to them will have half the blood of the Xie family. If the child is raised, she may not attract so much opposition. The odds of winning are still higher.

Empress Dowager Yan never considered Xie Xuanchen, he was just an obedient puppet.

There are as many such puppets as there are, and even if they die, they can be re-selected from within the clan.

Yes, she never felt like a good person.She murdered her husband, murdered the prince, supported the young master, and strangled the officials who opposed her. Countless people died at her hands.

Qihuang Palace.

Yue Ci's face was bruised and one of her legs was sloppy. She was severely beaten in the ancestral hall of the ancestral temple. After she came back, she still had to limp to serve Queen Mother Yan tea and water and serve her carefully.

This is what a servant is.

"The Queen Mother, this servant is already thirty."

Full of grievances, Yue Ci knelt on the ground, endured the pain on her body, and begged, "Please master, please let this slave out of the palace."

She really couldn't survive a day like this when she was beaten frequently.The master has so many political enemies. Today she was beaten by Princess Jiehu. Tomorrow she might be beaten by an official who had left the party, and the day after tomorrow she might be scolded by a retainer from Nangong.

Under normal circumstances, a palace maid can leave the palace at the age of 28. She has worked until she is thirty and has not yet retired.

Many palace maids envied her and thought she was very majestic when she was in charge of Qihuang Palace, but she didn't want this majesty. She just wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, get married to the person she likes, and live together!

Queen Mother Yan looked at the bruises on Yue Ci's face and felt a little distressed: "Mr. Xuan."

Yue Ci lowered her head and placed one hand on the purse at her waist. Her lips completely lost color, and her eyes were not moved, only sad.

There are not many maids in the palace who can let the imperial doctor treat diseases. This is an honor.

but--

In Yue Ci's sleeve, there was also an invitation to the lantern festival sent from her lover Qinxing Gongzi from outside the palace.

"You are the most considerate and considerate in everything you do. The other maids below are not as good as you." Empress Dowager Yan persuaded her, "I will give you an extra ten taels per month. Please continue to accompany the Ai family for a few more years."

Yue Ci shouted thank you to the Queen Mother for being so benevolent, and knocked her head on the floor tiles, her heart filled with despair.

Coincidentally.

When the regent arrived, Yue Ci withdrew. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xun Yin. He was so shocked that his mind went into chaos.When Hua Shi, another eldest maid of Qihuang Palace, saw Xun Yin, she was so frightened that she lost her courage and trembled all over: "She...she..."

Xunyin was originally appointed by the Queen Mother to serve at Qingyuan Pavilion, so he naturally recognized Yueci and painting poems, smiled at them, and nodded.

Hua Shi took Yue Ci to the east wing to see the imperial doctor, and said in a trembling voice: "What a ghost! How is she still alive?"

Yue Ci sat obediently and let the imperial doctor apply the medicine, with an expression that didn't care about anything: "Say less, so as not to get angry."

Hua Shi couldn't calm down: "No, aren't you curious at all? His Highness the Regent has found Xunyin, who has been missing for 15 years. Does that mean there is news about His Highness the Princess? Is this going to change in Yundu? ah!"

You guessed it right when it comes to painting poems.

In the closed palace of the Queen Mother, intermittent cries came out. The cries were mixed with joy, sorrow, excitement, and loss...

"Aunt, don't hurt yourself by crying."

Yan Yang had never seen such a fragile expression on the strong woman who controlled the affairs behind the curtain and made all the changes in Yunhuang.

"If she is alive, the Ai family will know that Qingyuan must be still alive!"

Yan Ya was no longer the Queen Mother at this moment, but just a humble mother who had been lost and found. She burst into tears and lay on her nephew's shoulder, "It turns out that Ting Xue is Qing Yuan. No wonder the Ai family felt very kind to her when they first met her. I have long It should be discovered that they all like to eat rock sugar cakes..."

Yan Yang gently patted the Queen Mother's aunt's back, not knowing how to comfort her.

"I... the Yi family wants to go to the palace to see her."

Queen Mother Yan wiped her tears and sat up straight, with a nervous look on her face, "Yan Yang, tell me, will she recognize me?"
