Chapter 604: Forget the past and buy off Chuhe
Xiao Yan'an didn't want to leave so soon, he couldn't bear to leave Ji Chuhe.
If I could stay in the capital for one more day, I could spend one more day with her.
"Prince, let Dong Ling take the children to pay respects to their father and mother tomorrow, and let the children stay with them. There is no need to return to the Prince's Mansion for the time being."
"Madam, are you willing to give up You'er?"
"A short separation is for a long and lasting together in the future."
"Okay, I will accompany the children to the palace tomorrow." Xiao Yan'an responded softly.
Mianzhu walked in from outside and reported to Ji Chuhe: "Madam, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite you to the palace."
"The Queen Mother invited me?" Ji Chuhe was a little surprised. "I see. I'll go get ready."
"Madam, the Queen Mother is not trying to harm you, is she?"
"At least not at this time." Ji Chuhe shook his head. "Maybe, it's not necessarily a win-over. Don't worry, my lord. I am safe now, whether in front of the emperor, the queen, or the queen mother."
"Then Madam, please be careful."
"it is good."
This time, the Queen Mother specially prepared a carriage to bring Ji Chuhe into the palace.
As soon as Ji Chuhe entered the Queen Mother's palace, he felt an unprecedented enthusiasm.
It seems that the Queen Mother is indeed trying to win her over.
I just don't know what kind of benefits the Queen Mother is going to offer to persuade her.
Inside the hall, the Queen Mother sat in the main seat. As soon as Ji Chuhe walked in, she immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be so polite, please sit down." The Queen Mother raised her hand with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ji Chuhe thanked softly and sat aside.
There were two bowls of freshly stewed bird's nests and some exquisite snacks on the table.
"This is the bird's nest that the Queen Mother specially sent. It is different from the ones in the imperial capital. I stewed it today and invited you to try it." The Queen Mother took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ji Chuhe picked up the bird's nest and took a sip. "Hmm! It's really different. This one tastes more delicate and sweet."
"I think so too. Bring more when you go back later and eat slowly."
"Since the Queen Mother has said so, I will respectfully obey your order."
Ji Chuhe's attitude made the Queen Mother very satisfied.
She had already condescended to show her goodwill, and fortunately, Ji Chuhe did not fail to appreciate it.
"Before, there were some unpleasant things between you and ***. I know that you were wronged. I only have this one daughter, and she lost her beloved husband. She was greatly stimulated and has been acting rather extreme. In order not to stimulate her, I always acted according to her wishes. In fact, she didn't mean to make things difficult for you. She is like this to everyone."
"Empress Dowager, I have also heard about ***'s situation. *** must have suffered a serious heart disease. Now, she has been sent out of the imperial capital and separated from you and your daughter. You have not blamed me, so how could I keep this matter in my heart?"
"Now, the Queen Mother has taken the initiative to talk to me about this matter. What happened between me and *** is in the past. I hope *** won't hold it against me."
The Queen Mother showed a satisfied smile, "Don't worry, *** will never hold it against you."
"Then I feel relieved." Ji Chuhe smiled with relief.
"Today, I asked you to come here because I want to discuss something with you in detail."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"On the day of the banquet, what you said in the palace deeply touched me. Looking across Daxia, there is no other woman as extraordinary as you. However, you insisted on staying in the imperial capital. Have you ever thought about what your husband's family, the people in Huaiyang Palace, will think?"
"Empress Dowager, I really didn't think that much." Ji Chuhe sighed after saying this, "How can you have your cake and eat it too? I just chose a path that I wanted to take. Empress Dowager, I didn't do anything wrong."
Ji Chuhe sounded a little anxious when he spoke the following words, as if he was eager to prove that he was right.
"Your choice is not wrong." The Queen Mother gave a word of affirmation, "Now that you have made your choice, you must also make plans for your future. The Huaiyang Palace and the Rongguo Palace will no longer be your support."
"The Empress Dowager is right. I really need to think about it carefully." Ji Chuhe looked hesitant.
"What do you think of me as a backer? Not only me, but also the Fourth Prince. Ji Chuhe, you are a smart person and should be able to understand the current situation and who will have the last laugh in the end. I know that you had a secret relationship with the Queen in the past. Now that the Third Prince has become a useless person, you should make new plans."
"Empress Dowager, thank you for your appreciation of me, but I no longer have anything worthy of repaying you." Ji Chuhe said helplessly.
"How can it be worthless? You are in charge of the Royal Trading Company and own half of the profits of the Royal Trading Company. This money is your value."
Ji Chuhe immediately stood up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.
"Empress Dowager, I have already promised half of the profits to the Queen. Now, if I suddenly go back on my word and give it to the Queen, I'm afraid it will incur the Queen's jealousy."
"You are confused!" The Queen Mother was filled with anger.
"Empress Dowager, I don't have the courage to break up with the Queen right now, unless..." Ji Chuhe paused deliberately.
"Unless what?" the Queen Mother asked immediately.
"Unless the Fourth Prince obtains the position of Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Queen will be completely defeated in this fight."
The Queen Mother heard the hidden meaning in Ji Chuhe's words.
Ji Chuhe is not going to release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.
"I understand what you mean. If the Fourth Prince really becomes the crown prince, are you willing to join me?"
Ji Chuhe immediately kowtowed to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, if the Fourth Prince is named Crown Prince, I will serve you without hesitation!"
"Okay! Just wait for good news from me." A hint of determination flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
A smile quickly flashed across Ji Chuhe's eyes.
She thought that the emperor would suppress the issue of establishing a crown prince by giving Prime Minister Qin a warning.
This was definitely not the result she wanted to see.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother became even more anxious.
She looks even more anxious than the Queen.
As long as someone is in a hurry, her plan will be carried out.
……
The news that Ji Chuhe was coming to see the Queen Mother immediately reached the Queen's ears.
"This old fool actually has his eyes on Ji Chuhe!" The queen was furious.
"Mother, calm down. I think Ji Chuhe will definitely betray you. This woman is full of tricks and should not be trusted."
"I didn't believe her in the first place, but she obediently gave me the profits of the Royal Company, and I couldn't refuse. The Queen Mother must have come to her for money. Even if I don't care about Ji Chuhe, I can't just watch Ji Chuhe's money flow into the Queen Mother's hands!"
