Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2057

Empress Dowager Duan'an had long given up on the Lin family, but the only thing she was worried about was her mentally retarded brother.

Mother Yuan was once a county lady, and she has always been very strong after marrying into the Lin family. She only cares about her son and doesn't care about her daughter.

Later, when Empress Dowager Jiqing was selecting concubines for Emperor Mingde, she hinted that the Lin family might have a quota. Yuan Shi did not hesitate to push her daughter, who already had a lover, into the palace, and issued a death order to her, requiring her to do everything possible to help her brothers in their official careers.

However, there was fierce infighting in the palace, and Concubine Lin was just an insignificant little character back then. Even though she adopted the Ninth Prince as her own, it did not help her brothers' careers at all.

Yuan had given up on her daughter long ago and also ignored her own mentally retarded son.

She put all her energy into her other sons, but unfortunately these sons were too mediocre to be of much use, while those with better talents were only interested in eating, drinking and having fun.

In short, Yuan was very tired and could not see any bright future.

The last time Princess Lin went home, she wanted to take her brother to his fiefdom, but the Lin family did not allow it, saying that the son of the Lin family must die in the Lin family.

The Lin family really wanted her brother to die, and even the maids dared to bully their master.

Now that she is the Empress Dowager Duan'an, her greatest wish is still to bring her brother back to his fiefdom.

A few days ago, Empress Dowager Duan'an accepted the invitation and met her parents.

My father is still the same father, cowardly and silent, and only follows his wife's lead.

The mother is still the same mother, strong, strong, and still strong.

Yuan made a list and handed it directly to Empress Dowager Duan'an, asking her to fill the vacancies.

Those vacancies may seem insignificant, but they are actually positions that are extremely lucrative.

The list was filled with names, including her biological brother, her mother's nephews, and all kinds of relatives.

This meeting was extremely unpleasant, because Empress Dowager Duan'an said, "The four great families have just been exterminated. If you think your life is too long, I will make arrangements for you."

Yuan was annoyed by her daughter, but she didn't dare to yell at the Queen Mother. She could only endure and say, "Then you should make arrangements for your brother first. As the Queen Mother of a country, if you don't even have this little power, then you are just a decoration."

Empress Dowager Duan'an replied, "Madam Lin, you are right. I am indeed just a decoration. So Madam Lin and everyone in the Lin family had better be careful in what they say and do. If they make a mistake, they will fall into an abyss of no return. The four great families are a lesson for us. If you break the law, I will be the first one to not let you off easily."

Yuan's face turned pale, and she couldn't help getting angry, "Great! Great! You've grown wings! You'd better think it over. Only when your mother's family is strong can they support you. In this deep palace, what can you do to fight the Empress Dowager? Her! The Duke of Huguo is her brother, the Duke of Heguo is her son, and the Princess of Haiyan is her daughter! Oh, and she has a nephew who is a general!"

Empress Dowager Duan'an added seriously, "The Emperor is her husband!"

Yuan gritted her teeth, "The Emperor is also your husband!"

Empress Dowager Duan'an smiled coldly, leaned close to her mother's ear, and whispered, "No, Madam Lin, you are wrong! Neither Emperor Mingde nor the Emperor Retired is my husband!"
