Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Prince Xun smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head. "Mother always teases me. The Empress Dowager and I have known each other since I was a child, but I only dare to reveal my true nature in front of her! This time, I also have something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Look at this child. He's quite reasonable. I wonder what the matter is?"

Yixiu was afraid that the mother and son would have some private conversation, and she would be in the way, so she was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Prince Xun.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to avoid this matter. My Majesty will be going out on an inspection tour in a few days, and he has instructed me to prepare for this inspection."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's lips curved up, "This is good news. Your brother entrusted this matter to you, which means he trusts you! You must prepare well and don't be lazy!"

Prince Xun raised his head slightly in shock and said, "It's just that my brother doesn't seem to have any intention of taking my sister-in-law and the Crown Prince with him this time! This inspection is a major event. This is my brother's first time out on an inspection tour as the Son of Heaven. If my sister-in-law and the Crown Prince don't go, wouldn't that tell everyone that the Emperor and Empress are at odds and that my brother dislikes the Crown Prince?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Yixiu with an embarrassed look on her face.

She shook her head and sighed, "If the Emperor is determined and insists on doing this, there's nothing we can do! Sometimes all we have to do is endure it!"

Yixiu smiled softly, without any trace of disappointment on her face. She said frankly, "What the Empress said is true! As the Empress of the Central Palace, I must obey the Emperor's will!"

Seeing that Yixiu didn't care at all, Prince Xun became a little anxious.

He wanted to step forward, but considering his status, he could only sigh and said in frustration, "Brother Emperor, what a wretch! Sister-in-law, you've been so kind to him, how could he hurt you like this?"

The distress and care in Prince Xun's eyes did not seem to be fake at all, which gradually raised the Queen Mother's guard line in her heart.

A trace of uneasiness flashed across her eyes, and then she coughed twice.

"I am an old woman after all, Queen, please go back first! I will persuade the Emperor on your behalf, but the final result will depend on the Emperor's own wishes!"

Since the Empress Dowager had already ordered everyone to leave, it was inconvenient for Yixiu to stay here. She bowed to the Empress Dowager and left.

Prince Xun knew that his mother had deliberately sent Yixiu away. He looked deeply at Yixiu's back with a hint of heat in his eyes.

The Queen Mother coughed twice more. "Zhuxi, send everyone out of this room. Stand guard outside. No one is allowed to approach this room! I have a few words to say to Prince Xun!"

Zhuxi saluted and said, "Yes, I understand!"

She waved her hand and took away all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace.

Looking at his mother who was so serious, Prince Xun felt a little nervous. What could have happened that could make his mother not only send away the emperor's sister-in-law, but also send away Zhuxi and the others?

The people who can serve in this room are undoubtedly the old people who have been with the empress dowager for many years, and it is impossible for them to betray the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother looked up and down at her son whom she had loved for many years. There was inquiry in her eyes at first, but when she thought of the child's thoughts, she became furious.

The Queen Mother angrily said, "Kneel down before me!"

Prince Xun rarely saw the Empress Dowager get angry, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, "Mother, I have done something wrong to make you so angry. Please don't let your anger get you sick!"

The Queen Mother stared at Xun Qinyu with annoyance and suspicion in her eyes.

"Tell me! Do you have any inappropriate thoughts about Yixiu?"

After saying this, the Queen Mother herself felt embarrassed. The Queen was Prince Xun's sister-in-law. If this was true, it would be crazy!

Prince Xun felt uneasy. He knelt on the ground in fear and horror. It felt like a ball of cotton was blocking his throat, making him unable to speak.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother became even angrier.

"She is your sister-in-law, the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and your brother's woman. How could you have such thoughts about her? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Prince Xun's innocent eyes gradually brightened. He gritted his teeth and flatly denied, "I don't know what the Empress Mother is talking about! Is it because I said a few words of concern to her that the Empress Mother has to say this to me? When I was young, I was deeply cherished by the Empress Mother, and I have a close friendship with the Crown Prince. There's nothing wrong with her saying a few words of concern!"

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, she felt like she was alive again.

As long as her son didn't think that way, the empress dowager didn't dare to ask any further questions, because when she thought of the possible consequences, she felt like the sky was falling.

"Good boy, get up quickly. Mother knows you absolutely don't have such thoughts! But you are getting older, so it's better for you to marry a concubine sooner! When your royal brother comes back from his inquiries, Mother will ask him to make the decision and grant you a concubine!"

Prince Xun shook his head decisively. "Mother Empress, I've said this countless times. I don't have any intention of starting a family right now. Could you please stop forcing me? First you suspected me, and now you insist on arranging a marriage for me. I'm an adult, not a child. I have my own ideas!"

After saying this, Prince Xun and the Queen Mother bowed and left with displeasure on their faces.

The Queen Mother was furious behind him and kept cursing, "You bastard! Old Fourteen, come back here immediately!"

Prince Xun's Mansion

Prince Xun returned from the palace with a look of loss on his face. He ordered his servants to prepare a table of wine and food, and drank alone under the moon at the stone table in the garden.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky with a hint of obsession and longing in his eyes.

"I know your devotion is as great as the sun and the moon, and I swear to be with you through life and death."

He only dared to say such outrageous words when he was drunk.

There was a sound of clapping from the corner. Prince Xun looked back and saw Longkodo walking towards him with a smile.

"I return your pearl with tears in my eyes, I regret that we did not meet before I was married!"

While reciting poetry with a smile, he explored the expression on Prince Xun's face.

Prince Xun was stunned. He was stunned for two seconds before he stood up and asked, "Uncle, why are you here at this time?"

Longkodo laughed twice and did not respond to Prince Xun's words. Instead, he sat opposite Prince Xun and poured himself a glass of wine.

"No wonder you refused so many times when the Queen Mother wanted to arrange a marriage for you. I didn't expect you already have someone you like! Let me guess, your sweetheart is probably already married, right?"

Prince Xun glanced around and made sure no one was around. Then he glared at Longkodo in anger, "I was just talking nonsense. What are you talking about, uncle?"

Hearing his tone, Longkodo paused, drank the wine in his cup, and sighed meaningfully: "Things in the world are impermanent. If I could be with my beloved, hey! When you reach my age, maybe you will understand!"
