Chapter 129 Respecting each other like ice
When he was young, Ran Wen had a good relationship with Xuanyuan Zheng, who had not yet become Emperor Gao Xi. He often walked around in front of Concubine De's then--the current empress dowager. If there was anything delicious to Concubine De's side, he often asked Xuanyuan Zheng to ask Ran Wen to come to the palace to taste it.
Therefore, Ran Wen is not unfamiliar with the Queen Mother, but on the contrary, he is somewhat close to her as a child and nephew.
The Empress Dowager's face has always been well maintained, and she looks only about forty years old.
At this moment, she leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, with Ran Shaozu and Ran Shaoxuan sitting on both sides. When Ran Wen came in, they all got up and retreated aside. After Ran Wen asked the Empress Dowager, they came forward to salute their father.
The Queen Mother had long heard of the quarrel outside and knew what the reason was.
She has never been happy and talkative, and she doesn't want to go around like other women in the palace. When she saw Ran Wen, she asked directly: "Who said your twins are here with me? I want to meet those two little guys, but you never bring them into the palace. Why did you run to me to find the child today?"
Ran Wen heard the Empress Dowager say this and replied respectfully: "Return to the Empress Dowager, those two children are naughty and dare not bring them to you, for fear of disturbing your peace and quiet. Today, Your Majesty held a banquet and called them to come to the palace to see them. I heard from the servant that the eldest princess called the two children away early in the morning. Now Your Majesty summoned him to come here to find them."
After hearing this, the empress dowager looked at Xuanyuan Xiang, and the inquiry in her eyes was very obvious.
She knew the most about how the princess married Ran Wen. As the emperor's mother, she knew best whether the couple had any relationship with each other in the past ten years.
In order to consolidate the imperial power, his son checked and balanced Ran Wen, who had monopolized military power at the time, and hit it off with his sister Xuanyuan Xiang, who was eager to marry Ran Wen. It was impossible to come up with such a bad plan.
Although Xiang'er voluntarily wanted to marry Ran Wen, the empress dowager felt a little wronged and raised the child since childhood, so she was tolerant of her on weekdays.
Xuanyuan Xiang was not the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager, but was born to the personal palace maids whom the Empress Dowager was dedicated to supporting. After the palace maid gave birth to Xuanyuan Xiang, he died of labor. Therefore, Xuanyuan Xiang has always been with the Empress Dowager.
She knew that she was not the queen mother and she was very sensible in her work.
When I saw the queen mother's eyes, I understood what it meant.
Even if she was angry, she explained patiently: "Reporting to her mother, Xiang'er really didn't summon those two children to the princess's mansion. Otherwise, why wouldn't she bring them to see you? Is there any misunderstanding in the middle?"
"What are the misunderstandings? There are so many eyes in the mansion looking at the two children summoned by your little yellow sect. What's the point of denying?"
Since Xuanyuan Xiang designed to trick Ran Wen into giving birth to two children, Ran Wen did not go to the princess's house in order to avoid being deceived, even if he went there, he would go during the day, with Ran Fu or his personal guard following him.
If Xuanyuan Xiang wants to make any ideas, there is no chance to get ahead.
Not only did he not have a chance, but he also made Ran Wen very disgusted.
On weekdays, the two have no relationship between husband and wife, so it is said that they respect each other like ice.
The more this happens, the more Xuanyuan Xiang hates Yu Ruoxian, and the more he hates those two twins.
However, all this is just hidden in my heart.
It's always a harmonious place on the surface.
The Queen Mother had already told her that Ran Wen had already married. If you insist on marrying him, you will have to bear all the consequences.
In the future, if Ran Wen treats you badly, you should not come to the palace to complain.
You should not do anything to Mrs. Ran.
After all, this is our royal family's loss.
As a princess, you can enjoy the glory and wealth given by the royal family, and you can also bear grievances and sacrifices.
Xuanyuan Xiang remembered these words in his heart.
She knew that the Queen Mother was kind and could not show her ruthlessness in front of her.
All the dirty things can only be avoided and carried out secretly.
This is also one of the reasons why Yu Ruoxian and her children have lived well for so many years.
Today, Ran Wen embarrassed himself in front of everyone, and Xuanyuan Xiang wished he could stab the knife directly into Yu Ruoxian's heart in front of Ran Wen.
Didn’t he care about that vixen? She asked him to watch Yu Ruoxian die in front of him.
However, so far, this can only be thought about.
Her mind turned a few times, suppressed her anger and said, "Why do I need to deny me? Even if you hold the knife on my neck, I won't recognize it."
Ran Wen's eyes were so cold.
Ruoxian would not lie to him.
She said that the children were summoned by Xuanyuan Xiang, and that was summoned.
She won't joke about her child's safety.
According to Xuanyuan Xiang's statement that he refused to admit it, were his two treasures lost? The world has evaporated?
What he has been worried about for so many years is that this woman attacks his children.
Although Shaotang always comes and goes alone, there are always secret guards he sent to protect them in the dark.
Shaoshang is no exception.
Since Xuanyuan Xiang did not admit it, he didn't want to talk nonsense to her, so he simply summoned the secret guards to ask.
"Since you deny it, it is useless to say more. Why don't you call your little yellow gate and my guards? Let's ask in front of the empress dowager and find out the truth."
As soon as Ran asked this, the eldest princess was not afraid. Ran Shaoxuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
Is the little yellow party strict? Will he be so scared that he said everything when he saw the Queen Mother and Ah Father?
Where did she put her face?
When my mother is angry, she can coax her, but she is not afraid of losing her temper. As long as she burrows her grandmother's arms, my father will not be able to do anything to her.
What she was afraid of was that the Queen Mother would be disappointed in her.
Although she is only seven years old, her mind is several times heavier than that of children of the same age.
She knew that although she was the princess, her status was not won by the Ran family. On the contrary, in the eyes of Ah Father, she was not as good as the twins.
In order to enjoy such noble treatment for a long time, she must make the Queen Mother and the Emperor's uncle happy.
She was not worried that anyone would hate her, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother and the Emperor's uncle would not like her.
Therefore, in front of the two people with the greatest power in Gao Xi country, she has always been kind, well-behaved, intelligent and sensible. It is precisely because of her doing it well that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's uncle were happy and rewarded for their status as the princess.
Today, the Queen Mother cannot let the saying go to know what she has done.
But how could she stop this from happening?
Seeing that my mother was about to agree to my father to call Xiaohuangmen and the guards, the matter was exposed and it was too late.
Tears were spinning in her eyes, and her little body was tense straight due to tension. Her fists were clenched tightly, and she could not notice that her nails were almost pierced the flesh in her palm.
Ran Shaozu, who was standing beside Ran Shaoxuan, couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw his sister's appearance.
When my sister told Xiao Huangmen to do this, she did not deliberately carry him on her back.
Although she did not agree with her sister's inappropriate little moves, she turned a blind eye. Especially after her brother Ran Shaotang refused to teach her the Breaking Cloud Sword, he always felt an unsatisfied resentment in his heart.
