730. Chapter 730

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother seemed to be in much better spirits. When she saw Zhaoyang walking in from outside the palace door, she was even more energetic and seemed to have suddenly improved her fighting ability.

Zhaoyang bowed to the Queen Mother, and the ministers paid homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be safe and sound. "

The Queen Mother carefully looked at Zhaoyang kneeling in front of her. She had only seen the princess from a distance before, and she was full of pity for her at that time. But now that she saw Zhaoyang again, she no longer had such a view.

"Ping Shen." The Queen Mother said calmly. Looking at Zhaoyang's reserved and indifferent expression, she really couldn't imagine that a widow like her would dare to steal someone secretly, and have an affair with someone like Ye Yiqing.

Zhaoyang stood up and looked at the Queen Mother calmly, with a gentle smile on his lips.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, feeling that Zhaoyang seemed to be too calm. Don't you feel guilty at all? "Zhaoyang, when did you return to Kyoto?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, I just came back a few days ago. Because I haven't been back to Kyoto for a long time, many things have not been settled. I originally thought that I would go to the palace to pay you respects tomorrow, but I didn't want to... The Queen Mother summoned my daughter first. Zhaoyang said respectfully.

"Oh? Did you come back to Beijing this time to visit your mother and brother? How come the Yi family heard that you did not return to the prince's palace, but lived somewhere else?" the Queen Mother asked with raised eyebrows.

Zhao Yang thought that it was indeed related to the step princess. It seemed that the step princess had really entered the palace today.

"Back to the Queen Mother, my daughter's return to Kyoto this time has nothing to do with the Prince's Palace. She just has some matters to deal with. Before she got married, she had already requested an order from the late Emperor. After she got married, she no longer had anything to do with the Prince's Palace. The late Emperor also The imperial decree has been approved." Zhaoyang said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother seemed a little unhappy after hearing this, "Zhaoyang, what you said is wrong. After all, the step princess and Chu Yang are your relatives. How can you deny it even if you don't recognize it? You, a newly widowed woman, are alone It’s not suitable to live outside, so it’s better to go back to the Prince’s Mansion.”

Zhao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Queen Mother, I think living in Calabash Lane is already very good."

"What's good? Do you want to have a private meeting with your lover? Zhaoyang, do you still know your identity as a widow?" The Queen Mother's face darkened, unable to control her anger after all.

"The Queen Mother, I don't understand what you mean." Zhaoyang said. It seems that the step princess really told the Queen Mother everything.

Just as Ye Zhen had guessed, the Queen Mother had a crush on Ye Yiqing, so she must have a deep hatred for her and Ye Yiqing's affairs. I'm afraid this trip today would be difficult.

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "It's okay if you don't understand. Although you are marrying the prince of Beiming Kingdom, considering that you are going to Jin Kingdom to get married, the Ai family plans to award you with a chastity arch so that you can stay in the country in the future. Jin Guo will always be respected."

Chastity Arch? Zhaoyang sneered in his heart, it was a shame that the Queen Mother could think of it, "Your Majesty, I don't want the Chastity Memorial Arch."

"Actually, you want it if you say you want it, and you don't want it if you don't want it!" The Queen Mother asked angrily, "If you don't want the Chastity Memorial Arch, do you still think that you can get married again in the future? The Ai family tells you that for the sake of the royal family's face, The Ai family will never allow a widowed princess to remarry."

Zhaoyang's face was slightly cold, "Empress Dowager, many princesses have remarried since ancient times, why can't I remarry? Besides... I am not a widow, so how can I be a widow? Your chastity arch should be given to the step princess of the county prince's palace. Instead of giving it to me.”

The Queen Mother couldn't understand Zhaoyang's words, "What did you say? What do you mean?"

…

…

Ye Zhen, who was waiting in the side hall, saw Mo Rongzhan coming from outside not long after. She immediately greeted him, "Your Majesty, hurry up and go to Cining Palace with me. The Queen Mother has called Zhaoyang into the palace. I'm worried about him."

Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows, thinking that she only came to the palace for Zhaoyang, not to find him?

"Yaoyao, don't scare yourself. The Queen Mother knows that Zhaoyang is back, so it's okay to summon her into the palace to say a few words." Mo Rongzhan took her hand and pulled her into his arms, "Do you think the Queen Mother Did you know about Zhaoyang and his father-in-law so soon?"

"I think the Queen Mother already knows." Ye Zhen said, "The Queen Mother entered the palace this morning. She had threatened Zhaoyang before. She had to go to Cining Palace anyway. The Queen Mother did not do this for the best. I just went to pay her respects to her elderly person."

Murong Zhan smiled and said, "I have issued a decree allowing Zhaoyang to be free to remarry. Soon the decree will be announced to the world. How can the Queen Mother embarrass Zhaoyang?"

Ye Zhen's face lit up with joy, "Have you already given the order?"

"Let's go. Since you are so worried, we will go to Cining Palace. You should also go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother." Murong Zhan said in a low voice. He still hoped that the Queen Mother and Yaoyao could have the same sympathy as before. female.

"Yeah." Ye Zhen was a little nervous. She didn't know if the Queen Mother was still angry with her.

There was a smile in Mo Rongzhan's deep eyes, "If it weren't for Zhaoyang, you would still refuse to enter the palace."

"I'm not worried." Ye Zhen gave him an angry look, there was nothing to worry about.

When they arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was blushing with anger from Zhao Yang, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed tense.

"The Emperor has arrived!" the palace maid's voice sounded.

Yaoye, who was standing next to the Queen Mother, was suddenly startled. He raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, then hurriedly lowered his head and retreated to the back.

Zhaoyang felt a little confused when he saw this scene, but he didn't take it to heart.

Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen walked in together.

The moment the Queen Mother saw her, her face became even more gloomy.

"Mother, Yaoyao heard that you have been in poor health recently, so I came to the palace to say hello to you. I also wanted to show you." Murong Zhan said with a smile. Ye Zhen's medical skills may not even be comparable to those of Medical Officer Qi. The whole palace knew about sleeping with her.

Ye Zhen lowered her head and bowed, "I have met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother sneered, "What a coincidence today. The Ai family has been ill for several days and you didn't come to the palace to say hello. Today the Ai family called Zhaoyang into the palace, and you thought of the Ai family."

Ye Zhen sighed in her heart, the Queen Mother still disliked her very much.

"Mother, why did you suddenly call Zhaoyang into the palace? I still want to tell you about her." Mo Rongzhan sat down with a smile, and before the Queen Mother could speak, he added, "Zhaoyang used to be She had no choice but to get married. Bei Tangcheng wrote a letter of divorce to her before he died. Now that she is not Beitang Cheng's widow, she does not have to be a widow for Beitang Cheng. I have issued an edict to inform her of this matter, and In compliance with the late emperor's promise, Zhaoyang is allowed the freedom to remarry."

The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
