The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

"Oh?"

"From what you said, it seems Yun'er has already made up her mind."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess quickly took the Queen Mother's hand and said with a kind smile, "That's right, mother, you really understand me."

"I think the eldest son of the Ye family is a very handsome man. At such a young age, he has already become a fourth-rank general. His future is definitely limitless!"

"You know, mother, that Jiayin has been spoiled by me since she was little, but I definitely can't let her mess around with this important matter of marriage."

"That is why I, your son, have the audacity to come here today and ask Your Majesty to grant us marriages for our two children."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, took a sip from her teacup, and said slowly, "Although the eldest son of the Ye family is a young talent, he is a general, and it is common for him to lead troops to fight. Does that mean Jiayin will have to follow him to the battlefield and suffer in the future?"

The eldest princess waved her hands hurriedly with a flattering smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The eldest son of the Ye family naturally loves his beloved. How could he let Jiayin suffer like that?"

"Besides, the Ye family has a strong foundation and is not short of people to serve. Even if Master Ye goes on a military expedition, Jiayin can stay in Zhaojing and live a stable life."

"But once you go to the battlefield, with no certainty of return, can Jiayin endure being alone in an empty house for so long?"

"This……"

"And let's be frank. If the eldest son of the Ye family were to suffer any mishap on the battlefield, wouldn't Jiayin suffer for the rest of her life?"

The Queen Mother advised earnestly, "After all, Jiayin was raised by me, so I have to consider her future!"

"Of course, I have considered what your Majesty Queen said."

"But of course the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Moreover, with the current power of the Ye family, if they marry into our royal family, it would be a mutually beneficial good thing."

The Queen Mother put down her teacup and looked at the Princess with a half-smile, "You've thought it through very carefully."

"Although the Ye family is a prominent family, the situation in the imperial court is unpredictable. If something happens to the Ye family in the future, won't Jiayin suffer as well?"

The eldest princess was shocked. She didn't understand whether this was a deliberate test by the Queen Mother or a genuine concern.

Why did the Queen Mother say this to her today?

Although the eldest princess did not understand what the Queen Mother intended by doing this, she also knew that the marriage might not be finalized today.

"Your Majesty is wise, but the Ye family has always been loyal, and Your Majesty will not make things difficult for no reason."

"I know that your Majesty is also thinking about Jiayin. This is a blessing for that child. In this case, let's observe the Ye family for a while longer."

"Let Jiayin spend more time with the eldest son of the Ye family. If they are in love with each other in the future, we can ask the Queen Mother to grant them a marriage and make this a beautiful story."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, although we are all thinking about Jiayin, we must also consider the child's wishes."

"After all, a forced melon is not sweet. I will also consider it carefully and help Jiayin pay more attention."

The eldest princess nodded hurriedly, but a hint of imperceptible uneasiness flashed across her eyes.

The Queen Mother helps Jiayin keep an eye out? How can that be possible?

But she couldn't find a reason to refuse the empress dowager.

The eldest princess was a little anxious for a moment, so she hurriedly took her leave.

The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess's departing back, and her expression gradually turned cold.

She was indeed colluding with the Ye family!

Now she can't wait to marry her daughter to the Ye family. What is the eldest princess seeking?

After the eldest princess walked away, the nanny beside the Queen Mother asked softly, "Queen Mother, why are you trying so hard to stop Princess Jiayin's marriage today?"

If the emperor had not told her about this, she would definitely have followed the eldest princess's wish and would not have stopped Princess Jiayin from getting engaged to the young master of the Ye family.

But she already knew it in advance, and when the eldest princess mentioned it, how could the empress dowager not be wary?

The emperor had long been wary of the Ye family and wanted to eliminate them.

Although the Queen Mother didn't know what the eldest princess was trying to do, she knew in her heart that she must have other motives.

"The eldest princess is colluding with the Ye family. She is so eager to marry Jiayin off. She must have some ulterior motive."

The nanny was shocked, "I didn't know this."

Emperor Yong'an had just asked everyone in the hall to leave, so the nanny was not clear about the interests involved.

I just felt a little strange about the Empress Dowager's attitude towards the eldest princess today.

It reminded her of something...

This matter has been hidden in her heart for many years, and she has been hesitant and dared not speak out.

She was afraid that she was dazzled and saw it wrongly...

At the same time, she couldn't believe it in her heart.

Especially every time she saw the eldest princess being intimate with the Queen Mother, she doubted her own eyes even more...

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it..."

The Queen Mother looked at the nanny's face as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and nodded slightly to signal her to continue.

The nanny took a deep breath and lowered her voice, "Back when you were still living in Zhaohua Palace, I seemed to see the eldest princess sneak into your bedroom."

"She looked at the little prince who was still sleeping soundly in the cradle with a look of resentment.

"Then he even reached out and covered the little prince's face, wanting to... wanting to strangle His Majesty..."

"what?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank and she unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Why did you keep it a secret from me for so many years and only tell me now?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The room was dim at the time, and I always thought I was seeing things, so I haven't dared to mention it for all these years."

The nanny replied tremblingly, "When the princess ran into me afterwards, she said she heard His Majesty crying, so she came in to comfort him."

"When I went in to check, I did notice that His Majesty's cheeks were a little red, as if he had just cried."

"That's why I thought I was dazzled and misunderstood the Princess..."

The Queen Mother's face turned extremely ugly. She could never have imagined that the eldest princess had such a vicious heart.

She actually wanted to attack her own Jin'er. It was a pity that she believed the eldest princess's lies at that time.

She said she treated Jin'er like her own brother, but at the same time she wanted to kill him...

The Queen Mother couldn't even bear to think about it. What would she do if the Princess really strangled her daughter Jin'er to death?

She was just a half-grown child at that time, yet she could do such a cruel thing!

"For so many years, she has been pretending in front of me, and I am still so close to her." The Queen Mother said hatefully, gritting her teeth.

"It almost harmed the emperor..."

The nanny quickly tried to comfort her, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. It's not too late to know now."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "No matter what she wants to do, I must stop her."

"We must not let her plan succeed and endanger the Emperor and the country of Dazhao!"
