The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

"If the emperor were half as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to worry about all this."

The Queen Mother felt that there would be no harm without comparison. The more she looked at Shen Leyan, the more she liked her.

"Mother, if it weren't for me, where would you find a daughter-in-law as good as Yan'er?"

The Queen Mother said with a slightly disdainful tone, "That is also due to my daily good deeds and the blessings of the Bodhisattva."

"Yes, the Queen Mother also made an indelible contribution!"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, then took Shen Leyan's hand and said some sweet words.

Shen Leyan also took the opportunity to ask the Queen Mother about the matter between the eldest princess and her husband.

Emperor Yong'an also expressed to the Empress Dowager, both openly and covertly, the eldest princess's ulterior motives.

"The Emperor is saying that Yun'er has rebellious intentions?"

"But how could that be? That child has always respected me..."

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Mother, I am not making this claim out of thin air."

"The eldest princess has been in frequent contact with ministers in the court recently, and has a close relationship with the Ye family, especially. We must be on guard against the hidden meaning behind this." Emperor Yong'an said with a serious face.

"Previously, the Princess used the pretext of hosting a banquet to allow her husband to socialize with the ministers in the court. This behavior has attracted the attention of many people."

"Now she is even more blatantly colluding with the Ye family!"

After hearing this, the empress dowager frowned. Although she was unwilling to believe it in her heart, she felt that every word Emperor Yong'an said was true.

She knew that without sufficient evidence, the emperor would never suspect the eldest princess.

"According to the Emperor's intention, what do you think the Princess intends to do?"

"She's a woman, there's no way she wants to sit in your seat, right?"

Emperor Yong'an pondered for a moment and felt that this possibility was not very high.

If she really had such a big ambition, the Ye family would definitely not agree.

Shen Leyan suddenly had an idea, "Has there ever been any rift between the Queen Mother and the Princess?"

The Queen Mother recalled her interactions with the eldest princess and found nothing wrong.

From the moment she raised the eldest princess, she treated her as her own child. In the beginning, the mother and daughter even ate and lived together.

The eldest princess also always called her "Mother, Mother". She felt that their relationship was more like that of biological parents than of biological parents.

However, it seems that the eldest princess began to change after she became the queen.

She seemed to have become less cheerful than before, and the Queen Mother noticed it at the time.

However, she was busy with harem affairs all day and really didn't have the energy to take care of her like before.

Until she became pregnant, she became even more overwhelmed.

Looking back, the Queen Mother seemed to have indeed lacked companionship and care for the eldest princess during that period.

As time passed, the eldest princess grew up and had her own thoughts, so she no longer needed her care.

Later, although the eldest princess was not as close to her as she was when they were children, she still treated her as her mother.

Could it be that she had developed a grudge against her at that time? But the Queen Mother felt that it was unlikely to be the case.

Moreover, when Xiao Jin was just born, the eldest princess liked him very much and often came to make him happy and play with him.

She once mentioned in front of Aijia, "Jin'er is her dearest brother. She must protect her brother well and help him inherit the throne of our father."

Emperor Yong'an felt extremely unfamiliar with what the Empress Dowager said, and he really had no impression of it at all.

"Of course the emperor has no memory of this. You were just a baby at that time. How could you possibly understand this?"

"At the time, your father and I both thought it was funny, but your father did have high hopes for you from the moment you were born."

When the Queen Mother thought of this, she couldn't help but start to miss the late emperor...

As Shen Leyan listened to the Queen Mother's description, she always felt that the eldest princess before seemed to be a completely different person from her now.

If the eldest princess is really as the empress dowager said, then why doesn't her relationship with Emperor Yong'an seem to be that good...

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell why.

If the princess has always been acting according to circumstances and flattering the Empress Dowager, that is unlikely.

She was so young at that time. How could she have such deep thoughts at such a young age and deceive a palace fighting champion!

Hey, palace fighting champion?

Shen Leyan suddenly looked up at the somewhat sad Empress Dowager.

The eldest princess’ biological mother was the late emperor’s original queen. How did she die?

She was afraid that this matter would involve royal secrets and might offend the Queen Mother, so she held back for a moment and did not ask directly.

Seeing this, Shen Leyan spoke up at the right time to advise, "Don't worry, mother. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. Your Majesty is just being cautious."

"The situation is unclear now, so it's better for us to observe secretly and not alert the enemy."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, "If it is really as the Emperor said, I will not let her off easily."

Suddenly, a palace maid came in and reported, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Princess Royal Highness has arrived."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

The few of them exchanged glances, and Emperor Yong'an planned to take Shen Leyan away first.

Then the Queen Mother nodded and asked her to come in.

As soon as the eldest princess came in, she saw Emperor Yong'an taking Shen Leyan away. Her face changed immediately, but soon returned to normal.

"My son has met his mother."

"Hurry up and get up. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

"It's all my fault that I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to come into the palace to accompany you. Mother, please don't be angry with me!"

"Am I such a stingy person?"

"Yun'er hasn't been to the palace for a long time. Did something happen in the mansion?"

"How could anything go wrong in my house? I'm just worried about Jiayin."

The eldest princess waved her hand, looking like she had a headache and didn't want to talk about it.

The Queen Mother asked doubtfully, "Jiayin? What kind of trouble could that child cause to give you such a headache?"

"It's not that she got into trouble again..."

"It's just that she's not young anymore, and I'm mainly worried about her marriage."

"You only have one precious daughter like Jiayin, and you're finally willing to marry her off?"

"That's not true, mother. Even if I'm reluctant, I can't let her go now that she's old enough..."

"That's natural, but in my opinion, there's no need to rush at Jiayin's age."

"If it were me, I would also be reluctant to let go. This is all human nature."

The eldest princess's expression changed slightly. She felt that the Queen Mother was acting unconventionally today.

Her expression changed and she smiled, "Mother is right, but I still want to arrange her marriage as soon as possible."

"It can be regarded as a matter of great importance to me."

"And I'm afraid that if I don't take action now, all the young talents in Zhaojing will be picked up, and we Jiayin will have no choice in the future..."
