Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother
Chapter 201 The Dark Su Chou
The young eunuch who was serving dishes beside Nian Gengyao hurried forward to pick up some food, but was stopped by Nian Gengyao again.
He looked up at Su Peisheng beside the emperor with a half-smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Su."
Su Peisheng looked at the emperor in embarrassment. After getting the emperor's permission, he stood up and went to Nian Gengyao to serve the dishes. However, Su Peisheng was still tactful enough to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks for the emperor first.
While Nian Gengyao was eating, the emperor directly picked up the food that Su Peishang had just picked up with his chopsticks and put it on a plate.
After the meal, Nian Shilan was terrified.
On the way to escort Nian Gengyao out of the palace, Nian Shilan advised, "Brother, weren't you too arrogant just now? You even asked Su Peisheng to pick up food for you. Who is Su Peisheng? He's an old eunuch who has served the Emperor for more than ten years. Even the Empress treats him with respect."
Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing after winning the battle, and his heart was already in high spirits. What's more, the prince was not favored by the emperor, and his party was severely suppressed. Nian Gengyao didn't take the queen seriously at all.
"Our Nian family is highly regarded by the Emperor. How can we compare to the declining Ulanara family and that stinking stone Su Chou?"
It is no wonder that Nian Gengyao looked down on Su Chou. After all, Su Chou had almost no friends in the court because of his very upright character and absolute selflessness.
Hua Fei breathed a sigh of relief, but still advised: "That being said, we still need to be cautious. Now that a new person has entered the palace, the emperor's favor towards me is not as great as before."
A fierce look flashed across Nian Gengyao's eyes, but he casually said, "Is it that Concubine Wan? Who the hell is she? How dare she embarrass you in the palace? Since his daughter is making you unhappy in the palace, I will deal with his father in the court tomorrow."
Concubine Hua curled her lips and smiled. She pushed Nian Gengyao and said with a smile, "Brother, why are you still the same as before? We are so old now."
Nian Gengyao patted Concubine Hua's shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, no matter how old you are, you are still my sister. If you encounter any problems in the palace, you must tell your brother, understand?"
Concubine Hua nodded, and Nian Gengyao left with a smile.
The next day, Nian Gengyao entered the palace again to discuss matters, and Su Chou was also there.
The two of them have always been at odds because of the issues concerning the Queen and Concubine Hua. In the past, Nian Gengyao would be polite to them in public, but now he is too lazy to even be polite.
"Oh, who was it? It turns out to be Lord Su Chou. I haven't seen you for a while, but Lord Su is still as charming as ever! Compared to me, I fought on the battlefield and worked very hard. After all, it's the Fengshui of the capital that keeps me healthy, and I have a leisurely life every day!"
Su Chou, who was he? He immediately retorted bluntly, cupping his hands and saying, "Civil officials and military officers each have their own duties. Why does General Nian make it sound as if we civil officials are just sitting around in the capital doing nothing every day? Could it be that when General Cheng goes to war, all the military supplies and fodder just fall from the sky?"
Nian Gengyao snorted and murmured, "Lord Su is always eloquent. I can't argue with him. I've always been a frank person and don't bother with schemes or intrigues, unlike some people who are full of evil intentions."
The sinister Su Chou deliberately remained silent. Instead, he waited until he was almost at the gate of the Yangxin Palace before deliberately speaking loudly, "I really don't understand what General Nian is saying. If General Nian has any grievances, just tell the emperor. The emperor will make a decision for General Nian."
Nian Gengyao glared at Su Chou, and then the two of them entered the Yangxin Palace together.
After the two of them paid their respects to the emperor, the emperor gave them seats. Su Chou thanked him again respectfully, then sat upright on the chair, meticulously.
In contrast, Nian Gengyao leaned back in his chair casually, as if he was at home.
The emperor looked a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Su and others immediately stood up and were about to sue Emperor Nian Gengyao. In order to avoid making the situation awkward, the emperor could only force a smile and said, "My dear Nian, I and I are monarch and subject to the outside world, and relatives to the inside. You and I, monarch and subject, must set an example for each other."
He also did not forget to comfort Su Chou, "It's the same for Lord Su. Since there are no outsiders here today, you can be more relaxed."
Nian Gengyao immediately followed up, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I, a trusted minister, will surely die in vain to repay your grace."
But the emperor was really unhappy when he saw Nian Gengyao sitting so arrogantly. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "My dear minister, please sit down first!"
Nian Gengyao then straightened his back slightly. Although he had acted very rudely, the emperor would reward him as usual for this great victory.
Nian Gengyao became even more proud, and regardless of the difference between the monarch and his subjects, he talked more and more wantonly, but Su Chou didn't even glance at him.
The emperor looked at the two and asked, "Why is Lord Su so quiet today?"
Su Chao glanced at Nian Gengyao, then stood up and saluted, saying, "General Nian has made great contributions to the country. I, a humble servant with evil intentions, am afraid that if I open my mouth, I will offend General Nian. It's best to say less!"
Nian Gengyao rolled his eyes and sneered, "It was just a casual joke just now. Lord Su took it too seriously."
The emperor clenched his fists tightly and told himself over and over again to be patient.
He had to use Nian Gengyao's party to contain the prince's party. Nian Gengyao was too arrogant and was about to shit on his head.
When Su Chou and Nian Gengyao reported the matter, the two of them verbally provoked each other. Su Chou was a black-bellied old fox who was used to setting traps for others, while Nian Gengyao rushed around recklessly. In the end, the emperor became the one who was hurt the most.
Faced with Su Chou's clear and logical arguments, he had to defend Nian Gengyao. After today, the emperor vowed never to call them two alone again.
Gyeongin Palace
When Yixiu heard the news, she laughed so hard that she almost couldn't straighten her back. It turned out that Nian Gengyao was right about him.
Jianqiu sighed aside, "The general has acted so rudely this year, and the emperor hasn't blamed him yet. Alas!"
Yixiu smiled faintly. "A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. People's tolerance is limited. The reason why the emperor uses Nian Gengyao is to use him to suppress Honghui. What we need to do is to make Nian Gengyao more arrogant and make the emperor feel that Nian Gengyao is his biggest threat."
Jianqiu nodded and complimented, "The Queen is indeed wise. Should we add more fuel to the fire?"
Yixiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Is the Zhen family ready? Nian Gengyao's return this time is bound to cause trouble for the Zhen family."
Jian Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen, Lord Zhen has already been secretly collecting evidence of Nian Gengyao's crimes. This matter will definitely not be seen as being manipulated by us."
