After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 273 Aunt and Niece

Empress Chen's question made Miss Chen Jiu at a loss for words.You have to have a chance to get along before you can answer such a question, right?But the point is, she didn't say a few words to the prince at all.

"Niece..." Miss Chen Jiu lowered her head and replied with some hesitation: "Well... my niece didn't dare to bother the prince too much. After all...after all..."

"After all what?" Queen Chen asked, "Don't you like him?"

"But..." Miss Chen Jiu replied in a low voice, "The prince is already married."

"So what if you marry a wife?" Empress Chen said immediately: "Could it be that you feel that you are too wronged to be the prince's side concubine as a young lady of the prime minister's mansion, so you don't want to. If there is a choice, my aunt is not willing to let you be the side concubine." Entering the palace as a concubine. You are a dignified concubine, you really dare not be a concubine. If it weren't for something helpless... Sigh! In short, Yun'er, it is my aunt who wronged you."

Miss Chen Jiu did feel a little wronged, but seeing Empress Chen's bitter and helpless face, she couldn't bear to tell her grievance, but shook her head slightly: "No, aunt."

"Yun'er, don't worry." Empress Chen patted her niece's hand: "Miss Wudinghou's mansion, is it possible that she can surpass you in terms of status? Even though she is the prince and concubine now, the emperor didn't like her very much." , She can sit still in the position of the concubine, but she can't talk about it. Besides, it's hard to say who will be the queen when the prince ascends the throne in the future! So what if she enters the palace as the official wife, she is not accepted in the end. I don't know how many concubines there are after the seal."

"But the relationship between the prince and the concubine seems to be very good." Miss Chen Jiu raised her head and looked at Empress Chen's face: "Prince, he... is really a good husband. The concubine has lived in her mother's house for almost a year. We have been separated for so long, but the prince did not accept a concubine as a side concubine, and he still misses the prince and concubine very much. Even the imperial concubine and empress brewed cold tea in the palace, he never forgot to send it to his wife who is afraid of the heat outside the palace. As long as it is related to the prince and concubine, no matter how trivial, the prince will keep it firmly in his heart. How can such a good husband put women other than his wife in his eyes."

After hearing Miss Chen Jiu's words, Empress Chen was silent for a long time.Not to mention that Miss Chen Jiu had never seen a man like Xiao Jingheng, not even Empress Chen herself.She didn't even believe that Xiao Jingheng would really take good care of Shangguan Jing so carefully. She felt that maybe it was Xiao Jingheng's exaggerated performance for Miss Yang and Miss Chen Jiu.

But Empress Chen didn't say what was in her heart. She carefully observed Miss Chen Jiu with a bit of envy and admiration, and asked, "Are you envious?"

"Of course my niece is envious." Ms. Chen Jiu blushed a little, but still nodded boldly: "As a woman, if you can marry a husband who respects and loves you so much, you will have nothing to ask for in your life, right? So the niece is really I am very envious of the prince and concubine, she is so lucky to be able to marry such a good man as the prince, one in a million. And..."

Ms. Chen Jiu's voice suddenly dropped in the second half of her sentence: "You are still very handsome."

After saying this, Miss Chen Jiu blushed even more.Empress Chen was silent for a longer time.Miss Chen's words left her speechless.If Xiao Jingheng could really cherish and respect his wife as he acted, who wouldn't envy such a marriage?Not to mention my niece would be envious, even she would be envious.

It's a pity that they also married into the emperor's family. Xiao Jingheng and the emperor, a father and son, have very different personalities.Empress Chen couldn't help feeling regret and resentment when she thought of the time when she married the emperor.

She was also a young girl in her prime, and she was full of expectations and admiration for her husband, but what did she get in exchange?A young woman who repeatedly challenged her status as a wife, and the indifference and indifference that became more and more common.

Now, she and the emperor have been married for almost 30 years, and even the shallow warmth of the newlywed Yan Erqi has long been worn out. Now that the emperor is in front of her, he is not even interested in pretending to care and care.

After a short daze, Empress Chen immediately sorted out her expression. She nodded to her niece with a smile, and said with a hint of persuasion: "You are right. The prince is indeed a rare good man. Such a Man, don’t you want it? Think about it carefully, if the person in his heart can change from Shangguan to you, then all the love and care are yours, aren’t they?”

Miss Chen Jiu looked at Empress Chen's beautiful and dignified face, and didn't speak immediately.

Empress Chen was not in a hurry, she waited for a while before she said: "Yun'er, you can't find a good man like Xiao Heng everywhere. In fact, before my aunt took you into the palace, she was hesitant. With your background, Marrying the prince as a side concubine is really too wronged. But Yun'er, if you are in love with him, you are the only one in his eyes and heart, do you still feel wronged?"

"I..." Miss Chen Jiu originally wanted to refute, she wanted to say that Xiao Jingheng already had a wife.But Empress Chen's words kept circling in her mind like a spell.After all, she is only a teenage girl, and she is still full of expectations for love and marriage.

Moreover, Xiao Jingheng is such a character who is impeccable in terms of image, background, character, and behavior, and can satisfy all fantasies of Huaichun girls. To Miss Chen Jiu, he is as charming and gorgeous as a dream, full of attraction .

So the rebuttal came to his lips, but Miss Chen Jiu couldn't say it anyway.

"Yun'er," Empress Chen smiled persuasively and said, "Auntie is doing everything for your sake, if you really don't want to. You don't have to be afraid, just speak up, Auntie will talk to grandfather, we won't force you Do what you don't want to do."

"I..." Ms. Chen lowered her head, she was very ashamed of her thoughts, but she couldn't refuse such a dreamlike temptation.Who doesn't want a perfect marriage and love?
"Aunt," she finally closed her eyes, ignoring the secret self-blame deep in her heart: "I want... to stay in the palace for a few more days, to be with you."

"Okay." Empress Chen nodded: "Weiyang Palace is deserted and deserted. If you are willing to stay longer, Auntie will be happy. Tomorrow we will go to Shouan Palace earlier to greet the Empress Dowager. The prince will go to Shouan Palace every day. , I can still see him. However, tomorrow you can’t be as stupid as today, the opportunities are always limited.”

"En!" Miss Chen Jiu nodded obediently.

　---Here is the dividing line between the victim and the perpetrator--
　　Empress Chen, as the first daughter of a large clan, a victim of oppression and exploitation by a patriarchal society, has finally come to this day, from a victim to a perpetrator.

　　After being exploited by the imperial power and the clan for nearly 30 years, she has accepted this rule, automatically rationalized everything she suffered, and as an executor, imposed this "reasonable" on the next generation.

　　Everything is for the clan, this is the rationalization reason for Queen Chen to comfort herself, and it is also the reason for her brainwashing and persecuting Miss Chen Jiu.She really believed in all this, because if she didn't believe it, then her previous 30 years of life would be without doubt.

　　Not everyone has the courage to resist like the Su family.
