If it were someone else, not to mention that Jiang Rong was already angry, but with what Yu Huan said, it was obvious that she was gloating, wasn't it?

Jiang Rong had been angry for several days because of Xia Wanning and the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu, three bitches. It would have been fine if Yu Huan didn't comfort her, but he said these words in front of her. Didn't this just add fuel to the fire in her already burning heart?

Jiang Rong felt like she was about to be mad to death.

But she couldn't get angry, because she knew that what Yu Huan said made sense.

Moreover, as early as the day when Qingluan and Qingnu entered the palace, she specially called Yu Huan over in front of Yu Huan and asked her if it was feasible for her to do so?

At that time, Yu Huan had already told her what he meant, and had told her more than once that it was not recommended to let Qingluan and Qingnu sleep with the emperor so soon. It was she who turned a deaf ear to Yu Huan's words. Otherwise, if she had listened to Yu Huan earlier and acted according to his advice, perhaps things would not have reached the current difficult situation.

Jiang Rong knew that after all, it was all her fault...

Thinking of this, Jiang Rong could only sigh helplessly. What right did she have to be angry with Yu Huan?

What qualifications do you have to put all the blame on the Queen?

Although the Queen is of a younger generation, she is the Queen Mother.

But Jiang Rong is not the unreasonable person. If she is wrong, she is wrong.

So this time, she called Yu Huan over and swallowed her pride to ask her if there was any good way to ease the situation.

If the emperor continued to be seduced by the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu, to be honest, even though she didn't want to, it would be better for Xia Wanning to be the favored one.

At least Xia Wanning has a clean family background. Even though she is arrogant and domineering and doesn't take the queen mother, the harem and the emperor seriously, at least she has her own moral bottom line, doesn't she?

Xia Wanning would never do anything that she shouldn't do!

Thinking of this, at this moment, Jiang Rong suddenly felt that Xia Wanning was better.

I have been too prejudiced against her over the years, and Xia Wanning was so arrogant and domineering, and didn't take me seriously. Over time, the two of them would blush whenever they met, and they had no time to show each other a good face.

"Empress, in your opinion, what should the Emperor do about this matter? Is there any way to turn things around?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother had taken the initiative to speak to him, Yu Huan naturally could not be polite anymore and just smiled slightly: "Queen Mother, you are too impatient."

"Yes, I was just too impatient."

Even though Jiang Rong was an elder, she still had to listen to Yu Huan's sermon. She just laughed at herself and said, "I'm just too impatient."

If the other party was not her biological son, to be honest, Jiang Rong would not be so anxious. It was because the emperor was her biological son, and she could not just watch her own son...

"Empress, you have not been in the palace for long, but I feel like we are old friends. I can see some of my youth in you. I know that you have a lot of ideas. In your opinion, what should I do about the emperor's matter this time?"

"Do I have to..."

As she spoke, Jiang Rong glanced at Yu Huan and asked tentatively, "Do I need to go to the Yangxin Palace in person?"

In fact, Jiang Rong had wanted to go a long time ago, because the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu were really too much. They completely ignored her words and really did not take her, the queen mother, seriously.

But the reason why Jiang Rong didn't go was that, no matter what, she had ordered people to bring the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu into the palace. In the eyes of everyone in the harem, Qingluan and Qingnu were her people. She sent people to the Yangxin Palace to call the sisters, but the sisters turned a deaf ear to her and did not take her orders seriously.

If she went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity again, the people in the harem would find out. Even in public, because she was the empress dowager, they would not dare to act rashly, let alone say anything in front of her. But behind her back, everyone would laugh at her and say bad things about her.

How could Jiang Rong bear this?

Jiang Rong felt like she was about to die of anger. She was really about to die of anger.

The kind of mentality that could make a person die of anger really made her feel very uncomfortable. Jiang Rong felt like she was about to die.

"I am really old now. I always boasted that I have experienced more than you have. Now I have really shot myself in the foot."

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Aunt Liu beside her said with some distress: "Queen Mother, please don't say that..."

"You were not weak before, but you are different now. You have the emperor as your son. No matter what you do, it is obviously for the good of the emperor, and the emperor knows it..."

Seeing that Jiang Rong's face was not looking good, Yu Huan pursed her lips and advised, "Yes, Queen Mother, what Aunt Liu said is right. In the past, you were the Queen Mother, you only had yourself, and you had no weaknesses. Naturally, no matter what you did, you knew what you wanted to do. But now the Emperor is your weakness. No matter what you do, you will always think of the Emperor subconsciously."

"The matter between Qingluan and Qingnu is not your fault, Queen Mother. It is because you care too much about the Emperor and the reputation of the royal family. Otherwise, you would not have..."

"Just as you, Queen Mother, said just now, you have lifted a rock and dropped it on your own foot."

It would have been fine if Yu Huan hadn't said this. Once he said this, Jiang Rong's expression became even uglier.

But there was nothing she could do, what Yu Huan said was right, she really did shoot herself in the foot.

Besides, it wasn't Yu Huan who said this, she just said it herself.

"Ugh……"

At this moment, Jiang Rong seemed to have nothing to do but sigh, because other than sighing, even she herself didn't know what to say.

"The Queen Mother also knows that most of the women in the Emperor's harem are from prominent families and daughters of noble families. As daughters of noble families, they have received a good education in their manners and words since childhood, including in serving the Emperor..."

Yu Huan didn't need to explain some things in too much detail, but Jiang Rong could understand them all.

What Yu Huan wanted to express was that sisters like Qingluan and Qingnu were of humble origins and naturally had not received a good education and training since childhood.

When she grew up, because of her good looks, she and her sister spent their days pleasing men.

To put it bluntly, no matter how high their family background or how beautiful the women in the harem are, they cannot compare to the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu, because the two sisters know how to serve men better than any woman in the harem, including Xia Wanning.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have been so bewitched by them during this period of time. Even when Xia Wanning found the emperor and made a fuss in front of him, the emperor did not coax her carefully as he did in the past.

Isn't it because the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu have already won all the emperor's attention and admiration?

"Queen, I'm going to tell you something. Although I don't like Xia Wanning, the reason I don't like her is because she's arrogant and domineering. It's fine if she doesn't take the women in the harem seriously, but she doesn't even take the emperor seriously. The emperor is the ruler of a country, the emperor of Damu, the supreme ruler. No matter what, Xia Wanning, even if her family is powerful, is still a subject and a concubine. How can she ride on the emperor's head and act wildly?"

Yu Huan understood what Jiang Rong said. When she saw Jiang Rong mention the excessive things Xia Wanning had done in the past, her face turned very ugly.

Then Yu Huan nodded: "I understand what the Queen Mother said."

"In your heart, Queen Mother, the Emperor is not only the ruler of a country, but also your own son. As a mother, you naturally cannot bear to see your son being bullied by a woman like this, and you dare not say a word."

Obviously, Yu Huan's words, especially the second half, touched Jiang Rong's heart.

Jiang Rong nodded and sighed silently: "Queen, you are right about one thing. Everyone in the palace thinks that the reason I defend the emperor and his disdain for the imperial concubine is because Xia Wanning has despised the dignity of the royal family and has completely disgraced the royal family. In fact..."

Jiang Rong certainly values ​​the royal family's reputation, but what she values ​​even more is her son!

In her heart, Ye Ling was not only the emperor, but also her son, her biological son, the one she had carried for ten months and survived many dangerous situations before finally giving birth to.

Normally, she would not be willing to show anger or even say anything unpleasant loudly, let alone attack Ye Ling, let alone make him covered in injuries.

Why should her beloved son be tortured and covered with bruises by Xia Wanning when he came to her?

Her obedient son was so obedient that even she, as a mother, couldn't bear to treat her own son like a dog, but why could Xia Wanning do that?

And it happened again and again, more than once, she treated her own son like a dog, ordering her son to do this and that. But her son was a loser, he did whatever Xia Wanning told him to do, without even a rebuttal, just listened to Xia Wanning obediently.

It's like, Jiang Rong is heartbroken, but Ye Ling is willing to do it. How can she, as a mother, bear to see her own son being bullied by Xia Wanning?

She was almost pissed off, okay?

"I understand the Queen Mother's love for the Emperor. But the Queen Mother..."
