When he came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, the emperor's face never looked good.

Although his mother wanted him to take charge as soon as possible, he finally fell in love with a girl but couldn't take action. It was too frustrating.

Fuquan had been outside the door and vaguely heard some inside stories. Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, he hesitated and asked: "Your Majesty really likes Cui Yuanniang?"

"Is that still false?" The emperor glared at him.

Fuquan knew that the emperor was not really angry, so he continued to ask: "Then your Majesty is ready to give up?"

"Of course not." The emperor finished speaking arrogantly, but also felt a little guilty: "I have to find a way to get the best of both worlds."

Fuquan sighed secretly. It was the Queen Mother's temper that once she decided on something, she would never change it.

It is almost impossible for Your Majesty to have the best of both worlds.

But seeing the emperor's high interest, Fu Quan did not dare to pour cold water on him.

"Your Majesty, will you return to the banquet?" Fuquan asked.

The emperor shook his head slightly, with a hint of disgust in his expression: "I'm tired of seeing all those talents, so I won't go."

After a pause, he asked Fuquan again: "Is Cui Yuanniang still in the Tai Hospital?"

Fuquan had long known that the emperor would ask about Cui Hengyue, so he always sent people to keep an eye on Cui Hengyue. When the emperor asked, he respectfully replied: "Cui Yuanniang has returned to the banquet..."

The emperor immediately changed direction and went to the banquet.

Fuquan was speechless, but he didn't dare to dissuade him.

A chamberlain followed them until they saw the emperor entering the banquet with his own eyes. The chamberlain immediately went back and reported: "Queen Mother, your Majesty has gone to the banquet.

"Cui Yuanniang also returned to the banquet..."

"Bang!"

The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it out. Everyone in the palace was so frightened that they didn't dare to express their anger. They all knelt on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, please calm down."

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother became even more angry and said angrily: "Bring Cui Yuanniang to me."

These words were very rude. Shi De did not want to disobey the Queen Mother or offend the emperor, so he relied on his status and ordered to Zi Yan: "You are a palace maid. I don't care about you. Go and call Cui Yuanniang."

Zi Yan did not want to offend the emperor and did not agree: "I still have things to do..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi De scolded him: "What, you want to disobey the Queen Mother's decree?"

Zi Yan hurriedly explained: "No, I don't mean this, and I don't dare to..."

"Since it's not the case, then go quickly, the Queen Mother is still waiting." Shi De interrupted her.

Zi Yan looked at Shi De, then quickly glanced at the Queen Mother, and then walked out.

However, when Zi Yan arrived, she did not come forward in person, but instead asked a young chamberlain to go in and deliver the message.

"Cui Yuanniang, the Queen Mother has summoned you and asked you to come."

Cui Hengyue thought for a while, then went to speak to Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui, and then left with the chamberlain.

When the emperor saw it, he immediately sent someone to inquire.

Fuquan came back soon and reported: "Your Majesty, it is the Queen Mother who summoned Cui Yuanniang."

The emperor stood up suddenly.

Seeing the emperor's actions, the ministers put down their wine glasses one after another, and the family members also sat upright, ready to listen to the holy teachings.

Seeing this, the emperor looked a little embarrassed and raised his forehead: "I drank too much, so I will go back first. Everyone, continue, continue."

Fuquan cooperated and stepped forward to help: "Your Majesty, you are drunk. I will help you go back and rest."

Everyone said in unison: "Best farewell to Your Majesty."

As soon as the emperor left, the regent stayed for a while and then left too, and the banquet suddenly became lively.

"Quickly, stop Cui Yuanniang and make sure she doesn't see the Queen Mother." The emperor ordered as he hurried to the Queen Mother's palace.

Unfortunately, as soon as Cui Hengyue left the palace, he was escorted to the Queen Mother's palace by the chamberlain.

"Call me."

As soon as Cui Hengyue was escorted to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother ordered a strike, catching Cui Hengyue off guard.

"Queen Mother, what mistake did Yuan Niang make? Why do you want to hit her?" Shui Rong was stopped outside the palace, but after hearing the Queen Mother's order, she shouted inside regardless.

Orange was too frightened to say anything or resist.

The Queen Mother's expression was ugly: "If you commit the crime below, tie up that girl too and punish her together."

Shui Rong's face suddenly turned earthy, and she began to feel anxious.

Cui Hengyue originally wanted to break free from the clutches of the chamberlain, but when his gaze touched the vicious eyes of the Queen Mother, Cui Hengyue changed his mind.

She allowed the waiter to push her down on the stool, and also allowed the waiter to hit her.

"Pah...pah...pah..."

The sounds of boards falling on people came one after another. Orange knelt on the ground, watching Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong being hit with boards. She was anxious but did not dare to act rashly.

The person approaching was the Queen Mother, or the master of the harem. As a little maid, she was not qualified to argue for Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong, let alone fight against the Queen Mother.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally arrived, rushed up and kicked away the chamberlain who hit Cui Hengyue: "How dare you hit Cui's girl?"

The chamberlain got up and knelt down, trembling all over: "Your Majesty, calm down, I will obey your orders."

The waiter next to him who was doing the job consciously threw away his plate and knelt down on the ground, but he couldn't help but cursed: It was really a fight between gods, and the kid suffered.

"Yuan Niang, are you okay?"

Before the emperor received a response, Cui Hengyue fainted. He hurriedly shouted: "Come here, send Cui Yuanniang to my palace. I'll see who dares to attack her."

No one in the palace dared to speak, but Fu Quan led the people to carefully help Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong onto the sedan and left quickly.

"Get down here, everyone."

The Queen Mother gave the order, and she and the Emperor were the only two people in the palace.

The emperor's face was dark, and there was a hint of accusation in his tone: "Why does mother treat her own niece like this? Even if you are a palace official in Yeting, you must have a reason for being punished.

"May I ask mother, what mistake did Cui Yuanniang make that made you so angry?"

After Cui Hengyue was beaten up, the Queen Mother felt very happy, but she didn't show it on her face. Her face was long and she looked even angrier than the emperor.

"It is the biggest sin that she can make you lose your temper like this. I have told you before, you cannot like a girl from the Cui family, and you cannot marry a girl from the Cui family."

If the emperor was still moved before, then at this moment, the emotion in the emperor's heart was gone. He felt that his mother's attitude towards Cui Hengyue was very suspicious.

"I have always kept in mind what my mother said before, but then I thought about it carefully. Even if I marry a girl from another aristocratic family, the obstacles to my being in charge will not change.

"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later."

The Queen Mother heard the implication of his words: "You said that, are you determined to choose the queen from the Cui family?"

"That's right." When the emperor said it, a flash of joy flashed in his heart. It felt so good to be able to make his own decisions.

The Queen Mother became even more angry: "If you insist on having your own way, I will kill Cui Yuanniang."

"Don't..." The emperor subconsciously stopped him.

"Then from now on, stay away from Cui Hengyue, and don't try to choose a queen from the Cui family." The queen mother put down her harsh words and entered the inner hall, leaving the emperor sitting there at a loss.
