The few people who had mocked Liu Ruo Qing in the open and in secret were naturally starting to get uneasy.

Even if their father's rank was higher, how could he be higher than Prince Jing?

Even Grand Preceptor Pang, who was one of the three great masters, did not dare to speak up in front of the Prince Jing.

At this moment, all the girls started to regret their words that they had offended the Crown Princess Jing in order to curry favor with Pang Yue Qiu.

No wonder she would say that she would ask them to say "teach her a lesson" after the banquet.

"Huang'er, Wailing Home is here to talk about family matters with them, it's all women's stuff, the Emperor isn't suitable for here, her delicate face has Wailing Home and Tian Xin's company, it's not like she's going to suffer any grievances."

After all, the empress dowager was the Kaiser's birth mother. She personally accompanied Yun Jiao Rong to this gathering and it was easy to guess what the Kaiser was thinking.

Since the empress dowager had purposely said this, the Kaiser naturally couldn't continue to stay.

Yun Jiao Rong naturally understood what the empress dowager's words meant. If Kaiser was to continue to stay here, she would feel even more ashamed.

Liu Ruo Qing also understood the meaning behind the empress dowager's words. If Kaiser still didn't leave, he would really make his mother unhappy.

If the Empress was unhappy, it would be even more difficult for him to marry her.

He then immediately stood out and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. With his delicate face by my side, are you still worried that he will be kidnapped by bad people?"

Although Liu Ruo Qing did not say it explicitly, when Kaiser saw that he had already spoken, she would naturally agree to help him take care of Yun Jiao Rong, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

The Ninth Aunt was not an easy task, other people were afraid of the Queen, but she was not afraid. Even if the Queen wanted to make things difficult for Rong Er, with the Ninth Aunt here, Rong Er would not feel wronged.

"This official will take his leave first."

Yan Shuo bowed slightly to the empress dowager, but when he turned around to leave, he was still worried and gave Liu Ruo Qing a look.

"Dong Xue, give Miss Yun a seat."

"Yes, Majesty."

Dong Xue accepted the order. Feeling a little awkward, she stood in front of the empress dowager and bowed, "Many thanks, empress dowager."

After everyone had sat down, the empress dowager continued with the previous topic. "All the daughters of the high officials are to be chosen from among you people to assist the emperor. With your father's wholehearted assistance, this Wailing Home is very at ease."

Although the words of the empress dowager were meant for the women, Yun Jiao Rong knew clearly that the empress dowager's words were meant for her.

Now that her father had passed away, she naturally couldn't be included among those who had his father's assistance.

Yun Jiao Rong laughed bitterly in his heart, this was also good too. After the emperor has established himself and the heir to the throne is gone, he would probably give up on her.

After hearing what the empress dowager had said, those officials who were still in the midst of Liu Ruo Qing's identity started to get restless again.

Especially those girls whose fathers were higher-ranked, they were even more confident.

Once the Kaiser was established, it would sometimes be mixed with political factors. With a family background, the father's position and influence within the group of officials would be taken into account.

In addition, the military power was even more important.

As the daughter of a great general, she was naturally more likely to be chosen.

Pang Yue Qiu looked at the girls whose eyes were emitting gold light, and ridiculed coldly.

She, Pang Yue Qiu, had not even said anything, what business did they have?

She was a dignified daughter of the Grand Preceptor Pang. She possessed both martial arts and literature, as well as background and looks. After the empress dowager selected the emperor, she would naturally be the first one to choose.

But...

Pang Yue Qiu raised her eyebrows, a trace of distress flashed past her eyes. After all that had happened, she had never thought that the lowly girl would actually be a dignified Crown Princess Jing.

No wonder she thought the name "Tian Xin" sounded so familiar at that time. So it was Crown Princess Jing Liu Tian Xin.

What should she do now? No matter how high his father's position as Grand Tutor was, he wouldn't dare oppose the Prince Jing.

He had offended her twice in a single day, so she would definitely find an opportunity to deal with him.

"royal sister-in-law."

Liu Ruo Qing opened her mouth. This was the first time she called the empress dowager like this ever since entering the longevity palace.

"What's wrong, Tian Xin?"

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing's downcast eyes, which were silent for two seconds, Tian Xin once again looked at the empress dowager and said, "royal sister-in-law, Tian Xin thinks that the empress has an esteemed position under the heavens. Other than supporting the Emperor, she also wants to give an example to all the women under the heavens.

The empress dowager nodded with a smile. "Of course. I wonder what Tian Xin has in mind for Wailing Home?"

In the end, even if the girls in front of her were to kiss her, they wouldn't be able to compare to Tian Xin, this sister-in-law of hers.

Although she had married into the Easternum not long ago, perhaps because Yan Yuan had grown up beside the empress dowager and the late emperor, she was already close to this sister-in-law of hers. With a relationship like Yan Yuan, the empress dowager would naturally feel closer to Liu Ruo Qing as well.

Moreover, the empress dowager felt that she was on good terms with Liu Ruo Qing. Furthermore, her personality was different from all the other pretentious girls she had met, so she naturally liked her even more.

Therefore, it was reasonable that the empress dowager would seek Liu Ruo Qing's opinion on this matter.

However, the empress dowager's action made the originally powerless girls, who were originally powerless towards Liu Ruo Qing, cry inwardly that things were not going well.

If the empress dowager listened to Crown Princess Jing's advice, they definitely wouldn't have a chance.

Although the final decision was in the empress dowager's hands, seeing the empress dowager's attitude towards Crown Princess Jing, his opinion would definitely affect her decision.

Immediately, those people frowned in regret.

At the same time, when the silent Madam Pang, who had been standing by Pang Yue Qiu's side all this time, found out about Liu Ruo Qing's identity, her eyes were filled with shock and regret.

This arrogant girl, she was actually the Crown Princess Jing, and had actually neglected such a high and mighty status. She had always thought that she was only the daughter of an insignificant minister.

No wonder she was so arrogant and arrogant when she was talking to the old master at the door.

Fortunately, she and Qiu Er had heard the old master's words and did not continue to cause trouble when they entered the room.

Originally, she had thought that the possibility of Qiu Er being chosen as the Empress was very high, but right now, Qiu Er had already offended Crown Princess Jing on the streets.

Now, when the empress dowager had asked the Crown Princess Jing for his opinion on the matters after being elected, it would probably be too difficult for Qiu Er to sit in the position of being a mother to the world.

Madam Pang looked at Liu Ruo Qing nervously. She could see that there was a smile on Liu Ruo Qing's face, but he could not tell what she was thinking about at all.

Liu Ruo Qing's gaze turned towards the girls, and swept across their faces.
