After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

For two consecutive days, Su Yunyan would not return to the Marquis' Mansion from the palace until the sun set in the west and the moon was high in the sky.

Although Concubine Tong and the Queen have given Su Yunyan a lot of rewards in the past two days, Su Xuanming is still worried about his sister and has been waiting for her to come home in the mansion.

"Little sister, have you ever been bullied or embarrassed in the palace?"

Su Yunyan stretched lazily and asked the servants to carry the rewards given by the queen into the storeroom: "Brother, don't worry, the queen and Concubine Tong are both very kind."

After hearing these words, Su Xuanming became even more worried. How could his sister, who was so innocent and kind, accept court discipline in a place like the palace where people were cruelly treated without leaving any bones?

Alas, my position is too low!

"Little sister, hurry up and wash yourself. You have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning. If you encounter any problems in the palace, ask someone to tell big brother! Leader Ling of the Imperial Palace Guard is big brother's good friend, you can just go to him!"

Su Yunyan covered her mouth and yawned continuously: "I know, big brother. I'm going to bed first, you should go to bed early too."

The next day, Su Yunyan finally met the Queen Mother again.

But the Queen Mother looked at Su Yunyan with a somewhat blaming look.

Su Yunyan was always straightforward and naive in front of the Queen Mother, so she asked directly: "Queen Mother, why do you look at me like this? But what did I do wrong?"

The Queen Mother's heart sank. She had been in the palace for so long that she had long been accustomed to not saying things too clearly and letting others guess her thoughts. She was quite uncomfortable being asked this question all of a sudden.

The empress dowager wanted to say something veiled, but then she thought that even if she did, Su Yunyan might not be able to hear it, so she decided to just go with the straight talk.

"Yunyan, you gave me some perfume and new oil last time. Why didn't you tell me in advance that these two things are very popular among the noble ladies in Kyoto?"

Su Yunyan sat down by herself and asked the maid from the Empress Dowager's palace to bring her a bowl of crystal soap and a portion of honey-floured soufflé.

"My Queen Mother, in my heart, you are my grandmother, so of course I have to give you the best things."

A trace of discomfort flashed across the empress dowager's eyes. How could this silly girl take her polite words seriously?

The Queen Mother saw Su Yunyan eating and drinking and looking very uncomfortable, while she, the host, was acting like a guest, so she began to complain half-truthfully.

"Yunyan, you've caused me a lot of trouble. The whole harem is in a mess because of your perfume and essential oils. If it was other concubines, I wouldn't care, but Concubine Tong and the Queen also fought over it, which made me very embarrassed."

"Huh?!" Su Yunyan opened her eyes wide, extremely surprised, "Why do you have to deal with the matter of Concubine Tong and the Queen?!"

The Queen Mother asked this question in return, and was suddenly confused. If she was not allowed to handle it, who would?

Su Yunyan saw this, as if she had encountered something extremely shocking, and she yelled: "Even in the common people, there is no mother-in-law who handles the conflicts between wives and concubines! Those rich old ladies are the masters of the house, and they have the final say!"

"Empress Dowager, you are working too hard. Not only do you have to deal with palace affairs, but you also have to mediate conflicts between your wives and concubines. My goodness, your life is worse than that of the old lord in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Su Yunyan quickly covered her mouth, as if she knew she had said something wrong, and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame me, Queen Mother. I am a straightforward person and I didn't mean it."

Of course the Queen Mother was unhappy, but she thought to herself, isn't her life even worse than that of ordinary old ladies? ! Who would treat a mother-in-law like this!

Su Yunyan put down the cake in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then walked over, snuggled up to the empress dowager's feet, rested her head on her knees, and said with envy.

"I have few relatives. I don't have a grandmother, and my own grandmother doesn't like me, so I feel close to you when I see the Queen Mother. You are so graceful, kind and gentle, just like my ideal grandmother."

Su Yunyan gently nuzzled the Queen Mother's knees, like a soft little kitten: "Queen Mother, they say that estrangement is inseparable, but in my heart, you are the one closest to me! I really feel wronged for you!"

"You have worked hard for half your life to raise the emperor. To be honest, the reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne is also due to your contribution! Our dynasty governs the country with filial piety. How can the emperor bear to let you be embarrassed by Concubine Tong and the Queen when you are enjoying your old age?"

The empress dowager felt a pang in her heart, thinking of how she had worked hard to raise the emperor from a small child to the present day, how much effort she had put in, and how many difficulties she had encountered. As a result, now she had to endure the anger of her daughter-in-law!

Su Yunyan shared the same hatred and said, "The Queen and Concubine Tong are too outrageous. Not only do they treat you like their own mother, but they also cannot come to you to make trouble!"

The Queen Mother couldn't say anything. She nodded secretly in her heart, of course, they are just ignorant!

"But!" Su Yunyan changed the subject, "You are the one who caused this!"

The Queen Mother was stunned. Why was she blamed? !

Su Yunyan scolded, "It's because you care too much about the emperor! My mother always said that if a person lives a peaceful life, it must be because someone is carrying the burden for him! The emperor's harem is harmonious, and it's all because of you, the queen mother, who has been willing to compromise!"

The Queen Mother felt that what Gu Nanxi said was absolutely right! Wasn't she just like that old turtle, grunting and moving forward with a heavy load?

Su Yunyan opened her thin lips and secretly gave advice to the Queen Mother: "Alas, I am afraid of one thing, the more you do in life, the more mistakes you make. Look at how my mother was praised when she was in the capital! Once she arrived in Yunzhou, she got up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs, but she still didn't get the good comments from everyone."

"Empress Dowager, my mother is a lesson for you!" Su Yunyan's last sentence sounded earnest, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was worried about the Empress Dowager.

What are you worried about? Of course, you're worried about the Queen Mother. She will be in a difficult position in the future and her efforts will not be appreciated!

The Empress Dowager patted Su Yunyan's hands and said nothing. She only rewarded Su Yunyan with a lot of things and asked Su Yunyan to return home early.

Su Yunyan returned with a full load again, which made Su Xuanming wonder if his little sister went to the palace to receive court training, or to the palace to sell goods? Or to the palace to purchase goods?

"Little sister, nothing happened today, right?"

"Nothing, I just chatted with the Empress Dowager for a while and helped her to untie the knot in her heart."

Su Xuanming was a little bit unconvinced. His little sister's mouth was good enough if she didn't cause trouble for others, how could she really comfort others?

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true! I went there for advanced studies!"

"Where?"

Just then, a new issue of "Yunzhou Weekly" was delivered. Su Yunyan skillfully turned to the novel section. "Those Things That Must Be Said in the Back House" written by miscellaneous writers was still being serialized.

"I learned it from Yunzhou Weekly!"
