Chapter 498

“You are so thoughtful. I guess that farmer dare not say no. I have to choose two tough women. Then it’d be lively after they marry into their mansion. And after they give birth, do we still need to worry about their whole mansion wouldn’t fall in a mess?”

In front of her eyes, it seemed that before her eyes already played that messy scene. And her dissatisfaction about Ling Jingxuan already nowhere to find. Now she totally felt lucky that Shengrui had married such a wife, otherwise, she still couldn’t find any weak point of him!

“That’s right. Tomorrow is another day. You are not only his mother-in-law, but also the empress dowager. Are you still worried you can’t tame him? Isn’t it like you can do whatever you want.”

The more Her Empress Dowager heard it, the brighter her eyes were beaming, “Exactly! I just lost my mind because of him just now. How would a farmer like him have the balls to do that? It should be Shengrui behind. As a big man, it’s impossible for him to watch his backyard all the time. I have enough time to teach him a lesson!”

The anger in the chest dispersed, and Her Empress Dowager laughed out and also restored her usual superior nobility. After destroying Yan Shengrui, she had plenty of time to torture him!

At the same time, inside Fuyan Palace, the palace His Majesty rewarded Consort Yun to live in. Under normal circumstances, after the emperor passed away, those consorts with titles of him would get promoted as Noble Consorts, and those who had offspring for the imperial family could even go spend the rest of their live in the fief of their sons. Consort Yun had ever been the Able Consort, top of the four leading consorts, and had such a capable son Yan Shengrui. Normally, she could go to Cangzhou or Highness Sheng’s mansion. But since Yan Shengrui was little, he wasn’t so close to her. And Consort Yun also didn’t want to leave the palace, saying that she didn’t want to live too far away from her husband. As for what the real reason was, no one knew, including His Majesty and Her Empress Dowager. But her staying in the palace was obvious a threat of Yan Shengrui, of course that was what they’d like to see.

“Madam, His Crown Princess Sheng killed the one Her Empress Dowager sent over, and His Highness even sent one of the four personal guards of him to send the body back!”

In the garden, a palace maid reported respectfully, while Consort Yun, who was pruning the flowers, was momentarily stunned, and then handed the scissors to the maid, and her face, which was almost too beautiful to be true, had an inexplicit smile, “What was Her Empress Dowager’s reaction?”

“What else could it be? I guess she should nearly explode.”

Before the maid answered, the old mammy beside said jokingly. She was Mammy Wei, who was rewarded to Consort Yun by the deceased emperor, who was very loyal to her.

“Watch what you say.”

Under her support, Consort Yun sat down on the bed aside, and those maids all stepped over with a faint smile. Consort Yun was quite mild, even to those maids, so everyone in Fuyan Palace liked her a lot.

“So what’s going on?”

“Ma’am, at first Her Empress Dowager was mad at it, and people could even hear her yelling outside, but soon, Manny Qiu waved those maids out, and no yelling was heard again.”

The maid replied. Then Consort Yun slightly made a frown, but soon lay down as she resumed her gentle smile, “Cui, what do you think of my daughter-in-law?”

“As far as I’m concerned, he is a little reckless, and does things without caring about the consequences. If it goes on like this, it’s easy to get himself in trouble.”

Mammy Wei replied as she tucked her in. Personally, his tactics were very successful, but seen from the long run, it’d be unfavorable to His Highness Sheng.

“You’re wrong, Cui. He’s not reckless and cares no consequences when doing things. Sometimes, you can’t see things on the surface only. You think he is still in a whole piece till now only because of Shengrui’s protection? Even if my son is not close to me, no one knows about him more than I do. If he really wants to protect him, it wouldn’t be simply killing some servants and throwing those beauties out of his mansion. Him staying silent was obviously someone’s meaning. Otherwise, given his mad bull like temper, what’s bothering those big family is not how to settle the beauties he has rewarded them, but their whole mansion would be in a mess already. In my opinion, this Ling Jingxuan is not simple.”

Slightly narrowing her eyes while lying on her side, Consort Yun said gently. Her appearance always gave one the feeling that she was a pushover, plus, after the deceased emperor passed away, she had never stepped out of her palace. Maybe a lot of people had already forgotten about her presence. She was one of those who survived from the cruel internal fights in the harem these years. And since she already kept herself out of those things, so on a lot of things, she could hold a clearer mind. Don’t see that she had always echoed His Majesty and Her Empress Dowager on this and that, actually, for all those years, they basically hadn’t gotten anything from her.

“So His Highness finds the right one?”

Others might not know about their Consort Yun, but how could Manny Wei not know about her? Since she said so, she should have her reason.

“Hehe…it is so seen from now. But as for how he is really like, I’ll only know after seeing him in person. These days, keep a tight eye on Her Empress Dowager. I guess she wouldn’t let this go so easily. When necessary, lend him a hand.”

Her not caring about things outside didn’t mean she’d allow anyone to harm her daughter-in-law. Finally his son got married. Whatever his wife was like, she’d protect him. Besides, he had given birth to three sons for her son!

“Yes, I’ll go handle it now.”

Mammy Wei was not a too curious person. Since the ma’am had such arrangements, she should have her own reason, so she only needed to do as what she was told.

Not only Fuyan Palace, all other palaces had heard about it, including Chu Yunhan and Yan Shengzhi. Like Consort Yun, they all decided to stay put. Anyway, they’d like to see in this war between Her Empress Dowager and Crown Princess Sheng, who would be the final winner.
