Chapter 928: The Ungrateful Son 4
"Alright, Queen, please stop scaring them. Look how pale their faces have become because of what you said," the Queen Mother said, "I am making this clear today. As long as I am here, I will not allow the Emperor to act like a tyrant."
"If the emperor punishes you just for telling the truth, then what's the difference between the emperor and the tyrant who was blinded by beauty?"
The Queen Mother's words also indirectly expressed an attitude, that is, she disliked Concubine Chen very much. If anyone wanted to target Concubine Chen, she, the Queen Mother, would be her backer, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Of course the emperor is not a tyrant," Jiang Chunxi quickly flattered the empress dowager, "With a wise mother like the empress dowager around, even if Concubine Chen is very capable, she can't make the emperor lose his mind and do such a tyrant."
"Oh, right," Jiang Chunxi said, looking apologetic. "I have just taken over the palace affairs, and there are many things I don't understand that need the Queen Mother's guidance. I know that it is really unfilial to trouble the Queen Mother so much, but I really have limited abilities."
"So I can only trouble the Empress Dowager to worry about it. I just hope that the Empress Dowager will not blame me. After all, as a daughter-in-law, I can only ask you for help. You are the Emperor's biological mother and my mother-in-law. I believe that the Empress Dowager loves her son very much and definitely does not want to see the harem affairs in a mess."
The Queen Mother was extremely pleased: "Since the Queen has come to me for help, I naturally have no reason to refuse. After all, the Emperor was born after ten months of pregnancy."
"So it's reasonable for me to be a little tired, but the queen must study hard. I am only helping you to manage the palace power. As the queen, the power of the harem should be managed by the queen in the end!"
Good man, Jiang Chunxi just asked the empress dowager for help and guidance, but as soon as the empress dowager opened her mouth, she wanted to take over the palace power.
The concubines in the harem all looked at Jiang Chunxi with gloating eyes, thinking that Jiang Chunxi was shooting herself in the foot. She had only wanted to please the empress dowager, but she did not expect that the empress dowager would deprive her of her power in the palace.
But what they didn't know was that this was exactly what Jiang Chunxi wanted. She wanted her to work hard like the original owner to help the dog emperor manage the harem.
Haha! Just dream on!
"Then I will have someone send the account books of the six palaces to me later," Jiang Chunxi said with joy, "It is true that the Queen Mother loves me, unlike the Emperor..."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi revealed a bitter smile. After all, she was an unfavored queen. The emperor's heart and eyes were filled with only Concubine Chen, which made her, the legal wife, seem like an insignificant concubine.
In short, Jiang Chunxi's appearance successfully attracted a wave of hatred from Concubine Chen. Didn't the concubines present here see that their gloating expressions had all been replaced by jealous and unwilling expressions.
"The Queen has been wronged," Jiang Chunxi was so sensible. The Queen Mother was naturally satisfied with Jiang Chunxi now. "Time will tell. I believe that the Emperor will one day know the goodness of the Queen and understand what it means to be a husband and wife. He is not comparable to Concubine Chen and other foxy women."
It’s true that the Queen Mother likes the Queen, but that doesn’t mean she will help the Queen!
After all, if the queen is of the same mind as the emperor, then she, the empress dowager, will become a decoration and she will forget about taking power.
But then again, I didn't expect the queen to be so stupid. When she was asked to hand over the palace power, she did it happily. It's really a waste of her head.
Jiang Chunxi was naturally very moved and complimented the empress dowager a few more times. The empress dowager was anxious to take over the power of the palace, so she quickly dispersed everyone and asked the queen to go back quickly and send the account books of the six palaces over.
The emperor has just ascended the throne and has a lot of things to deal with every day. He is so busy that he is overwhelmed. You know, many of his brothers do not obey him.
It can be said that the emperor who has just sat on the throne is not sitting so steadily, and there are too many people and things that he needs to be wary of.
Therefore, it was not until the evening that we found out that the Queen had handed over the power of the palace to the Queen Mother.
This made the emperor angry and he immediately went to the queen's palace.
"Empress, what's wrong with you? Why did you hand over the power of the palace to the Queen Mother? If you don't want to take over the power of the palace, you can let Concubine Chen take charge of it..."
"Your Majesty, why don't you just let Concubine Chen take the position of Empress?" Jiang Chunxi interrupted the Emperor with a sneer. "In your heart, Concubine Chen is your wife anyway. You have been secretly thinking about how to depose me so that Concubine Chen, the apple of your eye, can take the position of Empress."
"You are simply unreasonable," the emperor seemed to have been hit in the heart, and he pointed at Jiang Chunxi and cursed, "It is true that I favor Concubine Chen more, but I don't want Concubine Chen to replace you."
"Queen, what's wrong with you? You used to be sensible, but now that you're the queen, you're jealous. Look at your jealous face. How can you be like a queen? I'm so disappointed in you."
"It's the same for both of us," Jiang Chunxi said directly, "Your Majesty is disappointed in me, and I am also disappointed in you. You and I are just tired of each other, so I beg you to come to my palace less often in the future, lest you not be unhappy and make me unhappy too."
The reason why Jiang Chunxi dared to treat the emperor like this was naturally because she knew that the emperor did not dare to depose the queen. After all, if the dog emperor really dared to depose the queen, then in the original owner's previous life, he would not have let the original owner stay on the throne all the time, but instead deposed the original owner so that Chen Gui, the apple of his eye, could become the queen.
In the final analysis, this dog emperor is just a useless emperor. An emperor who cannot concentrate power in his own hands is an incompetent emperor.
At least compared to the original owner's ungrateful son, the dog emperor is much inferior. After all, the original owner's ungrateful son killed his mother and destroyed the Jiang family without so many scruples. He was quick and decisive when he took action. Unlike the dog emperor, he would always be cautious and fearful of this and that before doing anything.
Otherwise, there would not be the ancestral rule of sending the prince to the prince's residence, and he could only rely on the original queen to do it, while he, as the emperor, did not dare to show up.
The emperor was naturally very angry. Just looking at his red face and thick neck made Jiang Chunxi feel extremely happy.
But even so, the emperor did not just leave, but took a deep breath and said, "I heard that you sent the second prince to the prince's residence."
"Queen, what on earth do you want to do? As a queen, you don't fulfill your duties and hand over the palace power to your mother, which is fine, but you don't even care about your own son? The second prince is still so young, and you, as a mother, are so cruel to send him to the prince's residence. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to the child?"
