Chapter 683 The Queen Mother is furious
But should Ji Rujin, who was born as a daughter, be called the Empress Mother or the Cousin Aunt?
And what should I call my father’s mother and father?
Should I call him by the Queen Mother's way or by the Father's way? Or should I call him by the previous Emperor's seniority?
grandfather? grandmother?
Grandfather? Grandmother?
Great aunt?
Great uncle?
Great uncle?
……
Oh my, what a mess of relationships these are. Ji Rujin is feeling overwhelmed thinking about it.
After Di Ran's explanation, it turned out that Ning Xianjun had such a great background. He originally thought that he was just a poor little guy living under someone else's roof, but who knew that he had such a background.
The eldest son of Tianxia Villa, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His mother is the owner of Tianxia Villa, who is rich enough to rival a country, and his father is a prince of a country whom even the current empress has to show respect to. So he is the eldest son of a prince. Although the status of men in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty cannot be compared with that of women, he is still a distinguished prince of a country.
If he had not been kidnapped, perhaps there would not be Ning Xianjun and Fu Yunge would have had a different life.
Unfortunately... not everyone is so lucky to start over.
Several people went to Tianxia Villa. Di Ran had already sent a message before that.
When the owner and his wife, who were traveling outside, heard the news about their son, they hurried back.
Because she was afraid that her adoptive father and mother would be sad, Di Ran had not told them about Ning Xianjun's affairs before. Now that she had met Prince Jin, she brought her to recognize her relatives and told them about Ning Xianjun's affairs.
More than 20 years have passed since the incident, but the old couple still miss their son so much that they found it hard to accept the news of his death and were sad for a long time.
Ji Rujin now has real relatives and feels the kindness of her relatives and sisters. She plans to stay in Tianxia Villa for a while to accompany her parents and fulfill her filial duties to her father.
After bidding farewell to Ji Rujin, Di Ran took Ji Yunxie and the child to the Liao Kingdom.
Originally, Di Ran wanted to arrange him and the child in a safe place, and then come to pick up the father and son after things were settled, but Ji Yunxie was unwilling to leave Di Ran.
Di Ran had no choice but to take him and Xiao Ji Nian with him.
……
On the other hand, it is said that Prime Minister Situ secretly put pressure on the Queen Mother because of his son's death, forcing her to give an explanation to his Situ family and to ask the princess to marry his second son as the Princess.
The prime minister has more than one son. Although Situ Lan is the eldest son born of the legitimate wife and is deeply loved by the prime minister, he is dead now. No matter how angry he is, he can only strive for the greatest benefit for himself. One son is gone, but he still has a second son. Although this second son is just a bastard son registered under the name of the wife, he at least has a good face and is considered to be of some value.
Faced with the pressure from Prime Minister Situ, the Queen Mother was also annoyed, but she could not offend anyone easily.
She no longer has the final say in the court. Although she relies on the power of the regent to rule the country from behind the scenes, she is often criticized behind her back for being a hen that crows at dawn.
But so what? She is the one sitting in the court now, and she is the one ruling the country from behind the curtain. When she can control the power of life and death at will, she will settle accounts with these old immortals!
As for Prime Minister Situ's proposal, she had no objection. Originally, she had designated Situ Lan as the Crown Princess, but Situ Lan was dead now. For the sake of interests, changing the candidate would not affect the matter.
It was just that she had good intentions, but she was so angry that her face turned black by the next piece of news.
"Snapped!--"
The teacup smashed to the ground, splashing tea all over the floor.
"What did you say? The princess brought back a man and a child, and she publicly admitted that the child was hers?"
The Queen Mother was furious.
The man knelt on the ground and reported truthfully: "Replying to the Queen Mother, it is absolutely true that the prince did bring back a man and a child, and announced in public that the man is her husband..."
"Rebellion against her!"
The Queen Mother slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily: "What imperial husband! I don't acknowledge you as such."
"Go, call the princess over and tell her I have something to discuss with her."
"According to the order."
The man accepted the order and left.
