The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 295: Which one do you like, Miss Fifth or Zhuier?

After the Regent left, Baochan quickly ran in and immediately closed the door of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. People outside can hear you."

"I heard it, I can't even protect my own son, what's the point of sitting in this Yong'an Palace? Everyone wants to live here, but only those who live here know that it is an honor, but also a prison. If there were no prison, I could leave the palace and look for my son right now, and I wouldn't have to sit here anxiously."

Baochan said, "If it really doesn't work, let's ask the Li family for help! It's been so long, not to mention you, even I am worried. Our prince has never suffered since he was a child. Will the regent lock him up and not give him food?" "He dares!" Empress Dowager Li was so angry that she trembled, but she soon calmed down, thought about it, and came up with an idea. She said to Baochan, "After the morning court tomorrow, you wait at the gate of Chengguang Hall, and ask the Sixth Prince to come to Yong'an Palace to pay his respects to me."

Baochan nodded, "I've made a note of it, and I'll also remember to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare lunch. Please ask the Sixth Prince to have lunch in our palace. You are the queen mother, so he should come here every now and then, and no one can find fault with it. Just like Changxin Palace, the emperor will go there almost every day if he can spare the time. But to be honest, this is only because the emperor is still young and has no harem. After a few years, when the harem is full, he won't have the time to go to Changxin Palace anymore."

"Hmph!" Empress Dowager Li snorted coldly, but she began to think about it in her heart.

If Quan Qingcheng does not take a concubine into the harem, he can visit his biological mother often, which makes her very upset now that she has lost a son.

If Quan Qingcheng took a concubine, it would mean that he would be eighteen years old and could rule the country. At that time, she, the queen mother, would become a decoration, and the regent would withdraw from the court and become just a prince. To be honest, she didn't want to see Quan Qingcheng get close to Changxin Palace, nor did she want to see Quan Qingcheng take a concubine and dominate Northern Qi one day. Then the only way left was what Quan Ji said, which was to let him die.

But it is not so easy to kill an emperor. One careless move could lead to a bottomless abyss. Moreover, even if she succeeds, the throne will not belong to her. She needs to think about this matter carefully. The current path is not feasible!

"What time does the emperor go to Changxin Palace?" she asked Baochan.

Baochan answered immediately, "I am here right now! Usually I go to Changxin Palace to have lunch with Queen Mother Yu."

She stood up and straightened her clothes with her own hands, "Come on, let's go and take a look."

The two Empress Dowagers never interacted much, except for occasions like palace banquets where they had to appear together, they would not visit each other at other times. People said that it was best for the two Empress Dowagers to not interact with each other, because if they did, it would most likely be a struggle, and when that happened, the harem would be in turmoil, and the former dynasty would also be in turmoil.

Therefore, the Changxin Palace and the Yong'an Palace now maintain this rule of not interfering with each other, which satisfied the previous dynasty. However, over time, someone will become restless, and once they become restless, this rule will be broken.

Queen Mother Li was the one who broke it up. She was jealous of the deep mother-son relationship between Quan Qingcheng and the people in Changxin Palace. She rushed over angrily and ridiculed the mother and son who were having lunch together. She even pointed at Queen Mother Yu's nose and said, "Bitch, you used the fact that your son was a mute to prevent everyone in the harem from competing for your favor and allowed you to serve the late emperor for many years. But who would have thought that you were so vicious that you could convince the late emperor to write your son's name on the will. Your son is a mute, so how can he inherit the throne? Why was the late emperor so foolish as to let a mute take his place?"

Empress Dowager Li was like a madman, overturning the table full of lunch. The bowls and plates were broken all over the floor, and the hot soup spilled on Empress Dowager Yu's feet. Quan Qingcheng immediately squatted down and wiped it with his sleeves.

This scene made Empress Dowager Li even more devastated.

But what's the point of collapsing? She can't do anything except come to Changxin Palace to make a scene. Even after scolding her, Quan Qingcheng mocked her and said, "If you are not convinced that my father wrote my name on the will, Empress Li can go and argue with my father, and there is no need to go to Changxin Palace to make a scene. The East and West Palaces are coexisting, and neither of the two Empress Dowagers is more noble than the other. I can treat today's matter as Empress Li is crazy and not bother with you. But this does not mean that I am afraid of you, nor does it mean that you can humiliate my biological mother again and again. Empress Li, please respect yourself and go back to Yong'an Palace quickly!"

Quan Qingcheng's words made Queen Mother Li gasp for air with her hands covering her chest. She knew she shouldn't have come, but she was tortured every moment because she couldn't see her child. But in Changxin Palace, mother and son were in love every day. Why was that?

Quan Qingcheng had already called the palace servants loudly, asking them to invite the Queen Mother of the West Palace back to Yong'an Palace, including Wu Fei. Wu Fei had just returned and trotted all the way to Changxin Palace, only to run into the Queen Mother Li making a scene, and the little emperor wanted to drive her away.

Wu Fei came forward, bowed, and saluted Empress Dowager Yu and Quan Qingcheng first, then said: "I came back late and was not with the emperor. Please calm down. It was really that Lord Yun from the Imperial Observatory talked to me for a long time. No matter how anxious I was, I couldn't afford to offend Lord Yun. After all, he was very enthusiastic and said that he would go to Yanhua Palace in a while. If the emperor has nothing to do after lunch, we can go there and chat together."

After saying this, he turned around and said to Empress Dowager Li: "Your Highness, I will take you back to the palace!"

Empress Dowager Li came to her senses instantly, and when she looked at the broken dishes on the floor, she felt a little regretful.

She was too impulsive today. The arrival of Quan Ji made her think of many follow-up matters, including what to do with her Lu'er after the child succeeded to the throne. In addition, she still couldn't see Lu'er for so many days, which made her feel confused. Now the little emperor has grown up and knows how to use his power to suppress others. It is not enough to bring out the Imperial Observatory, but also to bring out the Yanhua Palace. But she knew that the little emperor was really worthy of the Yanhua Palace, so she had to swallow her anger and lower her momentum today. She couldn't stay in Changxin Palace any longer, she had to go back to Yong'an Palace immediately.

Finally, Queen Mother Li left. Quan Qingcheng was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, and Queen Mother Yu couldn't pry them open.

The palace servants in the hall cleaned up the mess silently. No one dared to say a word, and they even tried to handle the matter as gently as possible.

The maid Cong Wen first helped Empress Dowager Yu to the inner hall to change her clothes and shoes. When she came out, she saw Quan Qingcheng grab the teacup that the maid had just brought up and smashed it to the ground. The maid immediately knelt down, trembling with fear.

Queen Mother Yu asked the palace servant to pick up the broken teacups and quickly leave. Then she walked up to Quan Qingcheng and said, "I'm not angry, so why are you angry? Now you are the emperor, and your father's will has your name on it. What can Li Xiaohan do even if she is unwilling? She is just throwing a tantrum and cursing. We are not ashamed, she is the one who is ashamed."

"But I can't just watch her bully you, my mother, like this." Quan Qingcheng was really angry. "If I can't even protect my own mother, how can I protect the people of the world? If this gets out, I'll be laughed at."

Queen Mother Yu still shook her head, "I said, no one will laugh at you. It is she, Li Xiaohan, who is laughed at, not us. Also, Cheng'er, you have to remember that you are the emperor now. Being an emperor means you can no longer show all your emotions like before. You have to learn to hide, not only your emotions, but also your cards. Only when they can't see through you, no one dares to touch you again. Child, although your mother doesn't want you to be like this, there is no way. We have already sat in this position, so we must make some choices. Your mother does not need your protection, but you must promise your mother that you have to protect yourself. In a few months, you will be seventeen, and you will be closer to eighteen. At that time, you can choose a queen and concubines, and you can rule the country. Child, your era will only truly begin at that time. Everything you are experiencing now is just training in the camp. Just train well, but don't exert too much effort. Just wait until one day on the battlefield, and then show your true strength."

When she said this, she took the small box from Wen's hand and opened it with her own hands.

Quan Qingcheng saw that there was a pink jade doll in the box, wrapped in a small dress, and it looked lifelike and very cute.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "Where did the Queen Mother get this little thing from?"

Queen Mother Yu said, "When you were not yet here, the late emperor gave it to me as a toy. At that time, I was just a little pink doll, without this little dress. I made it when I was bored, and it looked good and fit, so I kept it. This thing was a toy to pass the time when I was young, but now that I am older, I don't like it very much. Why don't you take it and see who you can give it to?"

Quan Qingcheng was puzzled, "Who can I give it to as a reward?"

Empress Dowager Yu smiled but said nothing. Instead, Cong Wen took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, you can think about it and see who likes this doll more, Miss Ye's Fifth Family or Miss Zhuier?"

Quan Qingcheng actually thought about it carefully, and after a while he said, "Maybe Pei... uh, Zhuier likes it more, right? She is more lively, while Chulian is a bit dull. She is okay with reading calligraphy and painting, but she cannot like this kind of cute little thing."

As he spoke, he grabbed the doll in his hand and said, "Thank you, mother. I will give it to Zhuier later and remind her to come and thank you in person. She will definitely treat the gift from the Queen Mother as a treasure when she returns home."

He hesitated a little after saying this, scratched his head for a while, and changed his words: "Not necessarily. Her personality is hard for ordinary people to understand. Who knows if she can be a treasure!"

Queen Mother Yu smiled bitterly, "Alright, go ahead. No matter who you give it to, just give it out. You don't have to come over to thank me. I just heard from Wu Fei that Yun Chen asked you to go to Yanhua Palace, so go back and change your clothes and go happily."
