Chapter 616: Chapter 561: Lovesickness and Bad Taste_2

Hearing these words, the Emperor felt sick at heart, but he smiled on the surface and said, “It is the filial neglect of your son, I will certainly visit the Empress Dowager more often in the future.”

At this moment, the eunuchs and palace maids began to carry in plates of dishes.

After everything was arranged, the Empress Dowager gestured for the Emperor to start eating, “Please taste this, I specially ordered these dishes for you. See if they suit your palate?”

The Emperor picked up his chopsticks with great face, “The food made in the Empress Dowager’s palace naturally suits the taste, your son is blessed.”

The Empress Dowager immediately laughed, “If the Emperor likes it, then come over more often and I’ll have the kitchen make it for you.”

The Emperor nodded, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”

Eat without speaking and sleep without talking; afterward, neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager spoke much, just quietly eating.

The Emperor roughly tasted a few dishes and then put down his chopsticks to rinse his mouth with tea.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager also put down her chopsticks. Seeing that the Emperor seemed busy and ready to leave, she was straightforward and went straight to the point, “Has the Emperor heard? The Duke has sent his eldest daughter-in-law to Zhongzhou, saying it’s inconvenient for Guo Kangyu to live alone at Ningmen Pass.”

The Emperor showed surprise, “Is that so?” he said with a smile, “That’s quite understandable. Over the years, Guo Kangyu has been assisting me with military affairs in Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang, and he doesn’t have anyone to manage domestic affairs. Thinking about it now, it really is quite inconvenient.”

The Empress Dowager took a look at the Emperor, “And along with her, their daughter went as well.”

The Emperor laughed, “It’s only right for a daughter to follow her parents.”

Seeing that the Emperor intentionally avoided her real intention, the Empress Dowager had to speak plainly, “The mother and daughter of the Guo Family didn’t go to Zhongzhou earlier or later, but just at this time. The Emperor can’t possibly be unaware of what the Guo Family is plotting, right?”

The Emperor looked puzzled, “I really don’t know, please enlighten me, Empress Dowager.”

The Empress Dowager was frustrated, took a deep breath, and then said, “Hasn’t the Emperor forgotten that Yeyang is still in Zhongzhou? Guo Kangyu’s daughter is the same age as him; the purpose of going to Zhongzhou now is very obvious, isn’t it?”

The Emperor: “Surely not, the daughter of the Guo Family has no lack of suitors.”

The Empress Dowager sneered, thinking to herself that was the case before, but ever since the Guo Family rejected the Jiang Family’s marriage proposal last year and became enemies with them, which family now dares to propose marriage to Guo Xueming?

Seeing the Emperor who seemed unconcerned, the Empress Dowager said, “Emperor, do you still remember how ugly the fight between Guo Ruomei and Xiaojiu was? Although the Guo Family is Yeyang’s maternal family, if Guo Xueming marries into the Imperial Family, I definitely won’t agree.”

The Emperor was silent for a while, “Rest assured, Empress Dowager, I have it in mind.”

Seeing that the Emperor did not give a definite reply, the Empress Dowager fell silent for a moment, then with a self-reproaching expression, she said, “Over these years, Yeyang has been alone in Zhongzhou without anyone to take care of him. I have really been too neglectful as a grandmother.”

After speaking, she summoned a nanny and said to the Emperor.

“This is Nanny Jia, who has served me for more than a decade, a most reliable person indeed. I would like her to go to Zhongzhou to take care of Yeyang, what does the Emperor think?”

In his heart, the Emperor sneered; this was the real reason the Empress Dowager summoned him.

It wasn’t enough to ruin Xiaojiu, she also fancied manipulating Yeyang’s life.

Not wanting to listen to the Empress Dowager’s hypocritical words anymore, the Emperor stood up, smiling, “The Empress Dowager is kind-hearted and concerned about Yeyang being alone outside, how could I disagree?”

“The Empress Dowager didn’t bring it up, and I hadn’t noticed. Now that I think about it, I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as an uncle all these years. Thus, the Empress Dowager provides one nanny, and I should provide one as well.”

At these words, the smile on the Empress Dowager’s face stiffened somewhat.

Before the Empress Dowager could say anything, the Emperor said, “I have official duties to attend to and must take my leave now.”

The Empress Dowager nodded stiffly with a forced smile.

After the Emperor left, the Empress Dowager’s face suddenly darkened. Worried, Nanny Jia, who was designated to go to Zhongzhou, said, “Empress Dowager, if the Emperor also sends someone there, it might not be so easy to match the Little Prince with Lady Wanying.”

The Empress Dowager swiftly turned her prayer beads, then spoke after a while, “Go and adapt to the situation once you arrive. Just ensure Yeyang doesn’t get too close to Guo Xueming.” Only a Prince with no support is easiest to control.

Nanny Jia immediately nodded; every young lady cares about their reputation, this much she could still manage.

Meanwhile, the Emperor had returned to Qianqing Palace.

Thinking of the Empress Dowager’s special summons today, a look of ridicule flashed across the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

The Empress Dowager wanted the Empress to raise Ma Family’s son as a trade, specially elevating the Ma Family, making Ma Consort, from Xiaojiu’s residence, the official Consort.

During this period, he had often visited Ma Consort’s palace, fueling her arrogance. Furthermore, with the Ma Family having a newly minted Princess Consort and a nephew who could very likely inherit the Prince’s title, Ma Consort had gained enough confidence. She had been frequently visiting the Empress’s palace to see her son, with the number of visits and the time spent increasing.

How could the Jiang Family tolerate this?

As expected, it didn’t take long for the Empress Dowager to become unsettled.

Sending someone to Zhongzhou was nothing more than an attempt to control Yeyang, ready to suppress the Ma Family at any time.

The Empress Dowager remains unchanged, still unable to tolerate even a slight defiance at her age, taking action immediately upon detection to chastise and suppress.

And the Guo Family…

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, the Guo Family’s intentions might really have been hit upon by the Empress Dowager. Thinking of his increasingly excellent nephew, the Emperor beckoned to Eunuch An.

Eunuch An quickly trotted over, “Your Majesty.”

The Emperor: “The Empress Dowager is sending a palace nanny to take care of Yeyang; let’s also send one from our side. Pick someone tough.”

Eunuch An nodded and was about to leave when the Emperor continued.

“The one from the Empress Dowager’s side is called Nanny Jia; our side will be called Nanny Zhen.”

The flesh on Eunuch An’s face twitched instantaneously.

Fake nanny…

Real nanny…

The Emperor’s sense of humor is truly unsurpassed.
