Chapter 454: Tricks of Coaxing
Lin Junxue inserted the last flower and gently curled her lips.
"This time, the Queen Mother tried her best to prevent the eldest princess from marrying into Xuanyuan Country. She knew that what the Emperor hated most was the harem interfering in politics, but she knowingly violated the rules. The Emperor has been on the throne for many years and is no longer the same as before. The Queen Mother's maternal family has been too favored in recent years and has become arrogant and domineering. The Emperor has repeatedly indulged them for the Queen Mother's sake. Now, they are listening to the Queen Mother's words and jointly submitting memorials to make the Emperor unhappy. Have they forgotten who has the final say in this world?"
The emperor has absolute power, and everyone is afraid of the supreme imperial power and obeys his orders.
Over the years, Xie Yu has firmly sat on the throne with his ruthless means and iron-blooded tactics.
On weekdays, Xie Yu also secretly planned and eliminated those forces that might threaten his rule.
This concentrated the imperial power in his hands alone, which was no longer the case in the past.
The Queen Mother could not see clearly and wanted to use her mother's family to force the matter, but she did not realize that this would completely consume the last bit of mother-son affection that was left.
The more the empress dowager did this, the more Xie Yu felt that this was a challenge to his imperial authority.
The fact that the eldest princess would marry Xuanyuan Jing was a foregone conclusion.
Tea served with care
"Your Highness is right. The nephew of the Empress Dowager has always been smooth sailing in the court. Relying on his aunt, the Empress Dowager, he has been promoted repeatedly in the past few years. His future was originally very bright. But today, he was scolded by the Emperor in this way during the morning court. His career as an official is completely cut off."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"The Queen Mother's favor to her mother's family may be sincere, but it is just relying on her mother's family. The eldest princess is her favorite. This time, if she sacrifices a nephew, if she can achieve her goal, the Queen Mother will not care at all. Let the kitchen make some soothing soup. It's time for me to go see the emperor."
Qiao Xin agreed, turned around, and instructed the small kitchen to prepare a calming soup.
Lin Junxue stood up, walked to the window, and slowly opened the window that showed traces of time.
The sunlight outside the window was like a golden ribbon, gently falling on her delicate face, casting a faint halo on her.
The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and ruffling her black and shiny hair.
She stood quietly in front of the window, looking into the distance.
This play has been going on for many days, and it is time to end.
Taiwu Hall
Lin Junxue brought Danzhen and tranquilizing soup to the palace gate.
Gao Cheng greeted Lin Junxue with a smile when he saw her.
"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
Lin Junxue waved her hand
"Get up, is the emperor busy?"
Gao Cheng said quickly, "No hurry, no hurry. Today, the emperor got angry in the court. After the court, Shu Zhaoyi came on the orders of the empress dowager. The emperor didn't even see her. The emperor was in a bad mood and just punished an ignorant maid. Your Majesty, you came at the right time. As soon as your Majesty came, the emperor's anger disappeared. Please follow me into the palace."
In Gao Cheng's eyes, Lin Junxue is now his savior!
Lin Junxue looked at Gao Cheng who was in great pain.
When Xie Yu was unhappy, the first people to be affected were the people serving him.
I think Gao Cheng has been scolded a lot these days.
Lin Junxue nodded and entered the hall.
Xie Yu's face, which had been frighteningly gloomy, obviously eased a lot after he saw Lin Junxue coming.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became less depressing and heavy.
Gao Cheng thought to himself that it had to be the Empress. Before this person even opened her mouth, the Emperor's mood had improved a lot.
Lin Junxue bows gracefully
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
Xie Yu waved his hand and said, "Jun'er, come here."
Danzhen and Gao Cheng looked at each other, left the calming soup, and retreated to the door of the hall.
Lin Junxue walked up to him with a smile, and Xie Yu reached out and hugged her in his arms.
Lin Junxue let Xie Yu hold her, her eyes slightly deep, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, are you tired?"
Xie Yu always feels comfortable with Lin Junxue.
It's like walking into a place where the soul can find comfort and tranquility.
Xie Yu could clearly feel the gentleness emanating from Lin Junxue, which was her unique aura.
for a while
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, my mother and her mother's clan have been making a lot of noise in the court these days. They are so ignorant and overestimate their own abilities and try to force me to give in! Do they think they can influence my decision in this way? It's just a pipe dream! How could I be easily shaken by them? For so many years, I have been lenient to my mother's clansmen for the sake of my mother's face, but I indulged them. I don't know what to do..."
Seeing Xie Yu's gloomy expression, Lin Junxue felt that the Queen Mother had really stepped on Xie Yu's bottom line this time and was courting death.
After this incident, the glory of the Queen Mother’s mother’s family will probably come to an end.
Lin Junxue sighed, her eyes full of heartache and pity.
"Your Majesty, even if I shouldn't have said this, I feel sorry for you. You are obviously doing this for the good of the eldest princess. Mother doesn't understand your intentions. The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but mother still made such a fuss for the eldest princess. It's a bit too much."
At this moment, Xie Yu needs someone who can stand by his side unconditionally, support him, and understand him.
And Lin Junxue naturally had to play this role and comfort Xie Yu.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue deeply and hugged her tighter.
"Jun'er, you know me best. Since my mother is like this, I don't need to think about any relationship with her."
Lin Junxue paused and asked tentatively, "But Your Majesty, if you really force the order, the princess will hate you for the rest of her life. Even the queen mother will be afraid..."
A fierce look flashed across Xie Yu's eyes, and he suddenly clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand and let go of Lin Junxue.
He said meaningfully, "Don't worry, my dear. I have my own way."
Lin Junxue knew that Xie Yu had a plan. It seemed that Xie Yu had already come up with a solution.
Lin Junxue stretched out her hands and put her arms around Xie Yu's neck.
"I believe in Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will definitely be able to properly resolve this matter. Well, Your Majesty, have you not eaten well these past few days? I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a tranquilizing soup. I will serve you some, okay?"
Xie Yu really enjoyed Lin Junxue's coquetry and dependence
"Jun'er, for such trivial matters, just let Gao Cheng take care of them."
Lin Junxue knew that Xie Yu was just saying one thing but doing another. He was clearly waiting for her to serve him, but he just said that.
Lin Junxue smiled slightly and pretended to be jealous.
"Your Majesty, you prefer Eunuch Gao to serve you. Okay, I can't serve you as well as Eunuch Gao, so I will leave. You like Eunuch Gao to serve you the most."
As she spoke, Lin Junxue stood up and was about to leave, but Xie Yu held her back, doting on her.
"Okay, my queen is such a jealous person. I'm just worried that you're too tired. How can I prefer Gao Cheng's service?"
Lin Junxue then turned around and snorted
"Your Majesty, you are good at coaxing me."
Outside the temple
Gao Cheng listened to Xie Yu's low laughter coming from inside and sighed.
The sky finally cleared up after being cloudy for a few days
The Queen is really capable. This time, not long after she went in, the Emperor started laughing.
