Chapter 437 Dispute
After the emperor was called away, he did not return to the banquet.

He asked Nanny Gui: "Where is Huayu? Tell her to come see me."

Nanny Gui replied with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "When I came here just now, I didn't see Princess Huayu, so I must have returned to the banquet."

Fearing that the emperor would go back to the banquet and trouble Princess Huayu, Nanny Gui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has been waiting for a long time, you should go there now."

Hearing this, the emperor temporarily put aside the matter of punishing Princess Huayu, and followed Nanny Gui to the Queen Mother's palace.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

After the emperor saluted, he sat down next to the queen mother, with an air of obedience.

The Empress Dowager did not show a smile to him because of this, and said with a straight face: "You ran away just after the banquet started, what are you talking about?"

"I am the emperor, I can leave whenever I want, do those ministers have any opinions?" The emperor looked innocent.

The queen mother was speechless for a while, but after she was silent for a while, she reprimanded the emperor: "Huayu and that Cui Yuanniang are just arguing at the daughter's house, why are you going to join in the fun?
"I heard that you still want to punish Huayu, don't you?"

"That's right." The emperor admitted without hesitation: "Even if two young ladies are arguing, why do you want to use your mouth?
"Huayu is unruly and self-willed, and she is the one who made the first move. If she is not punished, who will be punished?"

The queen mother was angry and stared at her son: "You can't slap a slap. If Cui Yuanniang doesn't provoke Huayu with words, why would Huayu make a move? Cui Yuanniang should be punished as well."

"Cui Yuanniang is right, it's Huayu's fault." The emperor argued hard.

The queen mother was so angry with her son that there was smoke on her head, so she rushed to the mother-in-law and ordered: "Come and tell him, did Cui Yuanniang make any mistakes?"

So, Nanny You stepped forward, saluted the emperor first, and then slowly said: "The late emperor ordered that Xuanyu Pavilion is the residence of Feng Meiren. Enter Xuanyu Pavilion.

"After Cui Yuanniang left the banquet, she slipped into the Xuanyu Pavilion while the guards were unprepared, and stayed there for a stick of incense.

"Violation of the first emperor's imperial order is a capital offense."

After You Nanny finished speaking, she returned to her original position.

The queen mother continued her words: "Huayu only gave her a whip, which is considered to be cheap for her. If your majesty still wants to hold Huayu accountable, then let Cui Yuanniang be held accountable as well."

"."

The emperor was frustrated and full of doubts: "I don't understand, Cui Yuanniang is your niece, and although Princess Huayu is also your niece, they are separated by a layer after all.

"Why don't you defend Cui Yuanniang, but help Huayu?"

The queen mother was choked up for a moment: "I'm not wrong, Cui Yuanniang's father and I are indeed brothers and sisters, but Cui Yuanniang has been raised outside for 15 years, I don't know her, and I don't like her.

"I watched Huayu grow up. She is respectful and filial to me, so I naturally want to help her."

The emperor said with a cold face: "This is not fair. My mother taught me to act fairly and rigorously since I was a child, and not to disregard the interests of the country because of my own selfish desires.

"Nowadays, mother acts according to her own preferences, how can she convince everyone?"

How dare you accuse her?
The queen mother was so angry that she pointed at him: "Say it again."

The emperor ignored it and continued: "I asked Cui Yuanniang, she didn't trespass on purpose, she just entered the Xuanyu Pavilion by accident, and later the palace staff reminded her, and she came out immediately.

"Whoever doesn't know is innocent, she doesn't know the rules in the palace, it can't be her fault.

"But Huayu is different, she knew that Cui Yuanniang didn't mean to enter Xuanyu Pavilion, and she even used provocative words and even used weapons.

"If you are so arrogant, you should teach her a lesson and improve her memory."

Seeing what her son said, the Empress Dowager simply let go of the matter: "Okay, I'll just look at this matter for your sake, and spare Cui Yuanniang, but you are not allowed to trouble Huayu any more."

The emperor remained silent, as he accepted the treatment.

Reluctantly, the queen mother talked about another matter: "Although Cui Yuanniang is my niece, I will not choose her to be your queen."

"Why?" The emperor looked at his mother puzzled.

As soon as the words came out, the queen mother became angry: "Do you really want Cui Yuanniang to be the queen?"

"I have this idea"

Before the emperor finished speaking, the queen mother interrupted him: "No, I firmly disagree."

"Why?" The emperor couldn't understand why his mother objected so resolutely.

Originally, he just had such an idea in his mind, but now seeing his mother's reaction, he suddenly wanted to marry Cui Hengyue even more.

"I, I don't like her." The queen mother said calmly.

With such a strong reaction, it goes without saying that his mother hates Cui Hengyue, but he doesn't understand that his mother has always loved the third uncle, so why doesn't he like the eldest daughter of the third uncle?

Is it because Cui Hengyue didn't grow up in the Cui Mansion?But this is the third uncle's fault, what does it have to do with Cui Hengyue?
The emperor didn't understand, so he insisted on his own idea: "But, I like her."

"you"

The queen mother was so angry that her breathing stopped, and she couldn't breathe, so she rolled her eyes.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?"

The emperor panicked, quickly supported his mother, and shouted outside: "Come quickly, pass on the imperial physician."

Nanny You hurriedly sent someone to spread the message to the imperial physician, while she stayed in the hall to help the queen dowager.

"Queen Mother, don't be angry. Your Majesty is acting on a whim. Your Majesty is the most filial. He has not followed your wishes since he was a child, and he will definitely follow you in the matter of establishing a queen."

The emperor was speechless, he did not act on a whim.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and say something." Nanny You winked desperately at the emperor.

Seeing his mother being so angry, the emperor felt guilty, and hurriedly said: "Mom, calm down. Marriage has been a major event since ancient times, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers. Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you when I make a queen."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager lowered her eyes, concealed her pride, and said weakly: "My son speaks well, if you say that, I will naturally believe you."

Her complexion gradually improved.

After a while, Imperial Physician He was carried into the palace by the imperial guards.

The emperor hurriedly ordered: "Physician He, come and see the queen mother."

Dr. He was put down by the imperial guards, walked slowly to the Queen Mother, put a silk handkerchief on the Queen Mother's wrist, put her fingers on the wrist veins, and listened intently.

Pulse is normal
Imperial Physician He observed the situation in the palace calmly, glanced at the emperor and queen mother again, and understood: it turned out that the queen mother pretended to be ill to scare the emperor.

"cough"

Imperial Physician He pretended to cough a few times, and said seriously to the emperor: "The Empress Dowager must be upset and stagnant in her heart, which made her breath not smooth and hurt her body.

"As long as the heart is smooth and there are no troubles, you can recover after a few days."

Feeling good?
Doesn't that mean you have to follow her in everything?
The emperor was a little upset, but he agreed in front of everyone.

After drinking the medicine, the queen mother sent everyone away, and said to her son calmly: "You are my own son, and I do everything for your own good.

"Don't worry, except Cui's girl, you can marry anyone you want."

The emperor frowned: "Why can't Cui's girl?"

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Oh, the Cui family has already been hated by others when they have a Empress Dowager. If there is another Empress, I am afraid that even civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will have opinions. Then how will you be in charge?"

It turned out to be the case.

The emperor was moved and held the queen mother's hand tightly: "Mother, it's my fault, I was wrong"
