"What? King Youshan? He is so brave. How dare a little king with a different surname not come to pay respects to the Ai family?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned gloomy.

That little bitch Yu Yunxi only dared to be so arrogant because of the protection of the Supreme Emperor.

What qualifications does King Youshan have to not come and pay homage?

"Tell him to get over to the Aijia!" the Empress Dowager said in a sharp voice.

The palace people were so frightened that they quickly ran towards the carriage of Prince Youshan's palace.

After a while, I finally heard footsteps coming.

The Queen Mother thought it was Feng Yili who was coming, so she put herself in position and prepared to humiliate him.

But who knew that when the curtain was opened, there were only kneeling palace ladies outside.

"Where's King Youshan? Where's the man?"

The Queen Mother asked, holding back her anger.

"Return, report back to the Queen Mother. King Youshan said that the young prince is hungry and he has to feed him, so he cannot come to greet you."

The palace man risked his life to speak.

They had already experienced the aura of death from King Youshan just now, but it was obvious that the Queen Mother was still angry now.

"Young prince? Where did the young prince come from? Oh... I have remembered it. The emperor wanted to grant marriage to King Youshan and the Sixth Princess. Unexpectedly, King Youshan didn't know what to do and actually said that he was already married, and even I have a child. Humph, that’s what it is like if you are not of true royal blood, and you don’t understand the rules at all.”

The Queen Mother spoke in disgust.

She didn't like Concubine Mu, and Concubine Mu's son Chu Zhihe, but that didn't mean she could tolerate Feng Yili looking down on Chu Zhihe.

After all, Chu Zhihe represents the royal family.

"Let the guards go over. Even if you want to tie him up, you have to tie him up to me."

She ordered in a dark voice.

But at this moment, a woman holding a child in the corner of the carriage slowly said: "Aunt, no."

She is Du Wenxin, the niece of the Empress Dowager Du and the legitimate daughter of the Du family.

The Du family has gradually declined over the years. If it weren't for the emergence of a queen mother, it would have been swallowed up by other aristocratic families in Kyoto.

Therefore, in the early years, in order to stabilize the family's power, the Queen Mother hurriedly let her niece marry into the palace.

But her belly was not up to par. She only gave birth to a dragon child a few years ago, and she was finally promoted to the concubine Xin.

But her son is the twelfth prince, and there are so many princes ahead of him, so the position of crown prince is too far away for her.

However, among so many concubines, the Queen Mother still liked her the most.

Not only because they are from the Du family, but also because she is smart but has a docile temperament and is easy to handle.

"aunt."

Du Wenxin called out again, and she glanced at the palace attendant not far away.

The Empress Dowager said to those people in disgust: "Stay back."

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

The carriage soon fell silent.

The Queen Mother took the initiative to take Du Wenxin's hand, and then said kindly: "Xin'er, tell me why you stopped me from punishing King Youshan."

"Aunt, King Youshan is a very good force. Over the years, Yuzhou's power has increased. Even the emperor cannot easily eradicate it. This is why the emperor has always tolerated King Youshan. King Youshan comes to Kyoto so many times. Those princes have never looked for trouble with him, I'm afraid, they secretly want to win over him..." Du Wenxin lowered her head and whispered.

"Xin'er, what do you mean..."

"Xiao Twelve is only eight years old this year, and the Du family is unpopular in the court, so no one supports us. But King Youshan has great power in Yuzhou. If he can support Xiao Twelve, those ministers will be able to follow the trend. "Du Wenxin said slowly.

Hearing her thoughts, the Queen Mother disagreed, "Yes, that King Youshan is indeed somewhat capable, but the emperor is now suspicious of him, and there is no guarantee that one day his life will be gone. If we win over him, then We cannot escape the blame for what happened to him."

"But aunt, this is an opportunity. If we don't win over him, Twelve will really have no chance."

Du Wenxin quickly raised his head.

Her usually calm eyes were now full of ambition.

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother's eyes began to narrow.

Yes, she was right. If Xiao Twelve was in this situation, if he didn't give it a try, he would definitely be defeated, and the Du family would never be able to turn around.

"Aunt, you are the empress dowager. If we really lose, the emperor will not do anything to you. But if we don't take action, our Du family will really have no chance of the throne."

Du Wenxin's tone was solemn.

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, her thoughts turning over and over again.

She is a person who likes power very much...

Although she was the emperor's mother, the relationship between mother and son had been weak over the years, and the emperor was unwilling to help the Du family.

She could only focus on her grandson.

Maybe this is really a good opportunity?

"But as you just saw, King Youshan doesn't even listen to my orders. He is so arrogant. I don't know what to say. How can he be willing to support Xiao Twelve?"

The Queen Mother frowned, and then spoke in an unhappy tone.

Hearing this, Du Yuexin chuckled and said calmly: "Since ancient times, men have always had trouble with beauty. Your Majesty, he has allowed the Mu family and the Hong family to grow and develop over the years. Isn't it because Concubine Mu and Concubine Hong have grown up?" Looks like a fox, with a beautiful face?"

Speaking of this, a bit of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Her appearance is ordinary. If it weren't for the help of her aunt, it would be impossible for her beauty to enter the palace and become a concubine in this life.

After she entered the palace, the emperor couldn't pity her face.

Unlike Concubine Mu and Concubine Hong, they only frowned and the emperor felt distressed for a long time.

"What exactly do you want to say?" The Queen Mother's tone was very bad.

Because what came to her mind at this time was the face that was famous in Kyoto back then, Queen Xiao.

Even if that bitch dies, he is still an indelible presence in many people's hearts.

"Has aunt forgotten that our Du family also has beauties?"

Du Wenxin hid her resentment and said this calmly.

"You mean Du Yueshan?"

The Queen Mother instantly guessed who she was talking about.

Indeed, their Du family has such an unmarried girl.

She looks like a misfortune. If it weren't for the fact that she is a concubine, the threshold for asking for marriage would be broken.

"She has a humble status. In the early years, I wanted to bring her into the palace to help you capture the emperor's heart. But you don't agree. Why are you mentioning her now?"

The Empress Dowager's tone was unkind.

Du Wenxin lowered her eyes again and said in a low voice: "Aunt, Du Yueshan's mother was born in a brothel, and both mother and daughter know how to seduce men in some unflattering ways. If she enters the palace, she will really get pregnant. Long Zi, then does this palace still have the status of Xiao Twelve?"

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to respond, she continued: "Her entering the palace will not be of much benefit to us, but if she marries King Youshan, it will definitely be good for us and the Du family."

"Do you want to promote the relationship between Du Yueshan and King Youshan?"

The Queen Mother finally understood Du Wenshan's thoughts.

"That's right, let Du Yueshan use some seductive tricks on King Youshan. If King Youshan falls into the beauty trap, wouldn't it be at our mercy?"

Du Wenxin expressed his thoughts again.

"I also heard that King Youshan has a princess. But since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. So what if King Youshan loves his princess now, they are not together now, and they will probably get tired of it after some time. This For Du Yueshan, it is an opportunity. No man can refuse the closeness of a beautiful woman."

Du Wenxin's tone was extremely determined.
