The Empress Dowager sneered when she heard this, and said, "You should ask your mother about this!"

Zhao Yi was stunned and looked at the imperial edict carefully before he remembered who Li Qian was.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth and rubbed the imperial edict on the ground.

When the Empress Dowager saw him, she took out a veil and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Your Majesty, even if the Ai family begs you, you can get married soon! If you don't get married this day, Baoning will be in peace for a day. I have grown up when I saw you and Baoning grew up. You have always liked each other since you were a child. One of you is my granddaughter and the other is my grandson. The palms and backs of your hands are flesh, and I only like it. But if your mother doesn't like it, what can I do?

"Although the queen is a mother in charge of the world, she is not always a woman who wants to live at home like an ordinary woman, be filial to her mother-in-law, serve her husband, and raise children. Since ancient times, there have been several women who cannot get their mother-in-law liked.

"You are both the emperor and Baoning's cousin. I also expect that after I return to the mountain for a hundred years, you can take care of Baoning as before. Why do you make Baoning embarrassed?

"Your Majesty, just listen to the advice of the Ai family!

"You make a queen soon, and Baoning can find someone to marry with peace of mind.

"You are so angry with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager cannot do anything to you, but it is easy for her to deal with Baoning.

"You must know that the rules are owned by ancestors. The wife inside and outside is under the control of the queen. If you don't establish the queen, the phoenix seal is in the hands of the queen, and this kind of thing will not be spared..."

The Empress Dowager's words stabbed Zhao Yi in the chest like a knife.

Can't he do whatever he wants even if he takes power?

What does the mother mean?

She said she regretted not teaching him personally since she was a child, so he agreed to hand over his eldest son to her for raising.

She said that Fang had no virtue and wanted to train well, so he agreed to let Fang follow her.

What else does she want?

Can she still control him like she used to?

He walked back and forth in the room with a blue face, and suddenly stopped and said grimly: "Where is Baoning? Where is she? How is she now?"

"I asked the Grand Princess to accompany her." The Empress Dowager's face looked very ugly when she said this. "I didn't dare to let her know. Others don't know her temper. If you become stubborn, then I won't care. I'm afraid that she will find your mother's queen in anger, and she will ruin a big deal. Your mother is not an ordinary queen. She is the Queen Mother who has taken charge of the government and has many ideas!"

good!

He can't act voluntarily now.

With his mother's personality, since she wants to marry Baoning to this person named Li Qian, if she fails once, there will be a second or even a third time.

His rash search for it will only make things worse.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and remembered something.

Li Changqing is the Empress Dowager's man, and Li Qian is Li Changqing's eldest son. Not long ago, in order to make Li Changqing the general of Shanxi, the Emperor called him to Wanshou Mountain and personally gave him some advice.

Baoning married Li Qian. Is Taihuang trying to form an alliance with the Jiang family?

He couldn't help but feel panic and said to the Taihuang: "How could this imperial edict be here for you? Mrs. Fang has been entering the palace frequently these days for this? What did the Duke of Zhenguo say?"

Logically speaking, if the Empress Dowager gave Baoning a marriage regardless of the care, the Ministry of Rites and the clan's mansion would report it, and the news would definitely come to him.

But now he didn't hear any news. Was it because the empress dowager concealed him? Or was this imperial edict not officially issued?

The Empress Dowager said listlessly: "It was Mrs. Fang who brought it into the palace. She and Duke Zhenguo were both shocked. I didn't know what happened, so I came to the palace to ask me. I was also stunned. I thought it was the emperor's intention, so I sent someone to Wanshou Mountain to ask. Then I realized that the emperor didn't know. It was the empress dowager who thought it was not appropriate to marry Baoning to the Marquis of Jinghai, so I issued this imperial edict before the Marquis of Jinghai." He also said, "Everyone knows that the Jiang family has received the imperial edict. As for what the content is, the Jiang family has been closed to thank guests these days. In addition, the Emperor is resting in Wanshou Mountain. Although there are all guesses, the news has not been leaked. What should I do about this matter? I have to ask the Emperor to help the Ai family with an idea."

Zhao Yi was also stunned when he heard this.

His mother is not a person who goes back on her word. How could she suddenly think that it is inappropriate for Baoning to marry Zhao Xiao?

Zhao Yi thought of Empress Dowager Cao's regent, those ministers were trembling in front of her and did not dare to say anything. When he took power, he would occasionally slander and shirk responsibility...

His mother is indeed not an ordinary woman. Baoning married the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion and his mother had no conflicts. His mother suddenly felt that it was inappropriate... There must be something inappropriate!

Zhao Yi, who had lived under the power of his mother for many years, did not think about how to analyze and judge, but decided to meet Empress Dowager Cao immediately.

He responded to the Empress Dowager's words in a hurry and left.

The Taihuang Concubine walked out from behind the screen.

She said with a worried look on her face: "What if the Queen Mother exposes us?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the imperial edict that was thrown on the ground and said lightly: "Don't we have this imperial edict? This is not our fake."

"But..." Baoning was not in the palace.

This is the biggest handle!

Empress Dowager Cao took this handle, and with her never suffered a loss, how could she help them take the blame?

"She dared not say it." The Empress Dowager thought of what Jiang Zhenyuan asked Fang to bring to her, and said, "How come Bao Ning was not in the palace? If this matter is investigated, the Li family will be more responsible. Now, the only one she can rely on. In order to protect the Li family, she has to stand on the same boat with us."

The Imperial Concubine nodded, and said in great depression: "Can Baoning really marry that Li Qian?"

The Empress Dowager did not speak.

She thought of her daughter who died young.

I have lived for only sixteen years, but I have been so happy.

Even when I die, I feel that I can continue to be a husband and wife with Jiang Zhenying in the underworld, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Baoning is fourteen years old, but she is like her widowed old lady, rarely crying but rarely laughing.

She was also a little confused about which life would be better.

"Let's talk about it when I see Baoning!" After a long time, the Empress Dowager said, "I don't know what she would choose? But Cao Xuan made me look at me with admiration and know that I should keep my low profile. As long as the Cao family no longer continues to commit suicide, the Cao family will be able to maintain the glory and wealth of two generations."

The Empress Dowager has always admired the Empress Dowager's eyes and smiled and said "yes".

The Empress Dowager said, "Let Bai Su enter the palace to stay with us for a few days! Bao Ning is not here, and my heart is empty. If Bao Ning really wants to marry that Li Qian, the child will have to call him in and see me. I forgot what he looks like, and I only remember to smile very well. Then what position should I arrange for him? I can't let Bao Ning follow him to Shanxi, right? After saying this, I think it's nothing wrong with Bao Ning marrying Li Qian, at least not like Zhao Xiao. He has to go back to Fujian to inherit the family business and stay in Beijing in the future..."
