Chapter 350 The Queen Mother is kind-hearted, but her son shouldn't have said these things
The Empress Dowager had recovered from her shock and smiled bitterly:
"Beixiang has changed its king in a short period of time. The change of power has always been accompanied by countless blood.
The king of Beixiang was changed, and I wonder how many innocent people died in the process.
The emperor also knows that his mother worships Buddha, and he cannot bear to see this. "
The emperor nodded repeatedly:
"Mother is kind-hearted. It is your son who shouldn't have said these things to her."
On the other side, the team from Prince Ding's Mansion finally arrived in the capital.
The emperor, who had received the news early, sent his eunuch Jiang Defu to greet him at the city gate.
The carriage stopped at the city gate, and Qin Tu bowed and reported:
"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."
Prince Ding lifted the curtain of his carriage and saw Jiang Defu standing at the city gate with a group of palace servants.
After seeing him, Jiang Defu came up to him with a happy face:
"Oh, Your Majesty, you are finally back. The Emperor has been thinking about you all day long, and he finally has you back.
Your Majesty, the Emperor has already prepared a welcoming banquet for you in the palace, please follow me into the palace."
Prince Ding smiled and nodded:
"Thank you, Eunuch Jiang."
Qin Jingnian lifted the curtain and watched the carriage enter the city. He couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"The emperor is really anxious. We haven't even returned home to rest yet, but we have to go to the palace as soon as we get back to the capital."
Qin Wan leaned her head out of the car window to look at the scenery, and was amused when she heard Qin Jingnian's complaints:
"Brother, don't forget, the eldest prince's wife is with us.
The emperor was not only anxious to welcome his grandfather, but also wanted to see the two countries' 100-year peace covenant brought by the prince's wife as soon as possible."
As they were talking, the carriage entered the city.
Seeing the scene in the city, the brother and sister opened their mouths slightly in surprise.
The streets of the city were full of people standing on both sides. When they saw Prince Ding's carriage, they shouted happily:
"The prince is back, the prince is back!"
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard."
.......
All kinds of shouts shook the sky. Prince Ding had seen this kind of scene before, so he calmly lifted the curtain of his carriage and waved to the people.
For the first time, the brother and sister, who had never seen anything like it, truly felt what it felt like to be loved by the people.
"Wow, the common people are really enthusiastic."
Qin Jingnian couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Wan was also curious, "Brother, do you think these people are doing this spontaneously or organized by the government?"
Jiang Defu rode his horse to the side of the brother and sister's carriage at some point, and smiled as he heard Qin Wan's words:
"Miss Wanwan, you don't know that the people of the capital have always had this tradition.
As long as the soldiers returned victorious, the common people would come to greet them spontaneously. "
Qin Wan cooperated and gave a thumbs up:
"As expected of the people of Dayue, you have a high level of awareness."
At the end, he did not forget to praise the emperor: "The people of Dayue have a high level of awareness, all thanks to our emperor's good governance."
The little girl had a serious expression when she said this, and looked particularly sincere.
Jiang Defu was amused, thinking that this little girl was really a wonderful person, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Haha, Miss Wanwan, the emperor will definitely be happy to hear you say this."
Qin Wan was bored, so she stuck her head out and chatted with Jiang Defu. The two of them talked and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the palace gate.
"We've finally arrived at the palace. If you keep chatting, you and that eunuch Jiang will become close friends regardless of age."
Qin Jingnian felt helpless and amused when he saw his sister chatting with Eunuch Jiang all the way.
Qin Wan thought that she couldn’t watch the palace fighting drama in her previous life in vain. She had to have a good relationship with the eunuch who was close to the emperor.
Being idle is also idle.
At the palace gate, the emperor and a group of ministers were waiting.
Prince Ding and his entourage got off the carriage. When the emperor saw Prince Ding, he walked forward excitedly.
"Uncle Ding Wang, I finally got you back safely."
The emperor's words were sincere and without any falsehood.
After the New Year, when the emperor learned that Beixiang was going to go to war with Dayue and Prince Ding was going to go to the battlefield to command in person, he was very nervous for a while.
The main concern is that Prince Ding is old and might get into an accident on the battlefield.
The emperor would feel very guilty if his uncle, who had watched him grow up, really had to leave his life at the border.
Now that Prince Ding has returned safely, the emperor is truly relieved.
After the king and his minister exchanged greetings, Prince Ding introduced the people from Beixiang.
"This is the eldest prince consort of Beixiang. Your Majesty, the King of Beixiang sent the eldest prince consort to present the two countries with a 100-year peace treaty. This is the Beixiang envoy accompanying the prince consort."
The eldest prince's wife and Zhang Chuanchao performed the Northern Xiang Ceremony to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand cheerfully:
"No need to be so polite. The palace banquet has been prepared. Please invite the eldest prince's wife and the envoy to enter the palace together."
A large group of people entered the Zhengyang Palace in a mighty manner.
The Queen had already ordered the palace servants to prepare the banquet and was just waiting for people to take their seats.
Since it was a palace banquet to welcome Prince Ding, the reclusive Queen Mother Dong also came.
Even the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had always been at odds with Prince Ding, came.
When the Queen saw Qin Wan, she thought of how Qin Wan's mother had personally followed in to escort the grain in order to protect her son, and she couldn't help but feel a little concerned for him.
"Wanwan girl, come and sit next to me."
After overthrowing the Seventh Prince and the Yuan Family, the status of Prince Ding's Mansion was unmatched in the capital.
Without the Queen's care, those ladies would not dare to provoke Qin Wan.
However, Qin Wan would not refuse the Queen's kindness.
He walked up to the queen with confidence.
The Queen's seat was originally supposed to be next to the Emperor, but because the two Queen Mothers were present, the Queen moved her seat next to the Eastern Queen Mother.
As soon as Qin Wan sat down, she came face to face with the stern face of the Empress Dowager Cixi who was sitting diagonally opposite her.
The moment their eyes met, the Empress Dowager Cixi could not hide the disgust on her face.
Qin Wan:......
Old woman, did I provoke her?
If it were someone else, they would have rolled their eyes.
But the person in front of him was the empress dowager, the emperor's biological mother, so Qin Wan held back.
But Qin Wan held back, but the Empress Dowager Cixi did not, and she pointed her spear at the Empress and taunted her:
"You are the queen, but you are trying to curry favor with a little girl who is still wet behind the ears. Where is your demeanor as a noble lady?"
The Empress Dowager Cixi herself came from a poor family and had always disliked the noble ladies in the harem.
In addition, the Queen was on the side of the Eastern Queen Mother, which made the Western Queen Mother dislike her even more.
More than ten years ago, when the Queen first entered the palace, she was criticized by the Empress Dowager Cixi. For the sake of the Emperor, the Queen endured it.
Later, as time went on, the queen felt that she could not bear it any longer.
He would not indulge her, and would always fight back against the Empress Dowager Cixi's harsh words with neither soft nor hard force.
This time is no exception.
The queen covered her mouth and chuckled.
The Empress Dowager frowned:
"why are you laughing?"
The queen still had a smiling face, but from Qin Wan's perspective, she could intuitively feel what it meant to smile without feeling.
"Your Majesty, you don't know, Wanwan is the Ninth Prince's good friend.
I will naturally take good care of the people that my own son cares about.
This is called Aiwujiwu.
Just as the Emperor respects Uncle Ding, Wanwan is Uncle Ding's granddaughter. The Emperor will take care of Wanwan for the sake of Uncle Ding.
The emperor is the queen mother's biological son. The queen mother loves the emperor. The people the emperor takes care of, shouldn't the queen mother love the emperor and his family as much as I do?"
