In reality, Mo Rongyi had already been here for a while. He didn't really like Uncle Qiu of the Qiu Family. He felt that his eyes were roguish and that he wasn't an upright person at all. Originally, he wanted to persuade the Empress Dowager not to get too close to her maternal family, but thinking that the Empress Dowager had married into the palace for many years, she must miss her family, so he didn't stop her. He didn't think that Qiu Yaozong would say such disgraceful words today.
If these words were heard by his imperial brother, having the Qiu family scram from the capital would be a light punishment. Perhaps he would even kick this uncle of his to death.
The Empress Dowager's restless thoughts wilted after hearing Mo Rongyi's words. She knew Mo Rongzhan's temper very well and knew that the Empress had been pregnant before she had been taken away. Even if she wanted to make an issue out of this child, it would not be easy. After all, the month was there.
"Yi, your uncle just doesn't know the truth and is spouting nonsense. Don't scare him, lest he takes it seriously," the Empress Dowager said to Mo Rongyi.
Mo Rongyi snorted coldly. "Imperial Mother, I'm not trying to scare Uncle. Based on Imperial Brother's temperament, he would definitely do that. Sister-in-law Empress's reputation is related to the Jin Kingdom. Who do you think you are? How dare you slander her? I only scolded you because I heard your words. If it were heard by others and spread to Lord Ye's ears, Uncle, be careful of your head disappearing in the night."
The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, "Yi, shut up! That's your uncle!"
Qiu Yaozong was so scared that his whole body trembled, "Little Wangye, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to say anything in the future. Please don't tell the Emperor."
"Mother, although your son's words are a bit harsh, they are all for Uncle's good. You know that Lord Ye is good in both literature and martial arts. You also know that Imperial Brother views Empress and sister-in-law as a treasure. Don't let Uncle anger them. Otherwise, we might not be able to stay in the palace." Mo Rongyi said coldly. He was very disappointed in the Empress Dowager. She was his Imperial Brother and Imperial Sister-in-law. Imperial Sister-in-law had her own grandson in her belly. She actually allowed others to humiliate her like this.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand. "Yi, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Your uncle only said the wrong thing by accident. If he really did that, I would be the first to punish him."
"It would be best if no unpleasant rumors spread from the capital. Otherwise, in the future, I will blame these unpleasant rumors on uncle." Mo Rongyi said lightly, "Of course, whether or not Imperial Brother will think of Muhou, this subject cannot guarantee."
Qiu Yaozong smiled fawningly, "No, no. Don't worry, little prince. This lowly official will not speak nonsense outside."
The Empress Dowager's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Although she didn't like the Qiu Family, she also felt angry when she saw her son scolding his younger brother without giving him any face. Not giving the Qiu Family face was not giving her face.
"Yi, that's enough. Is it worth getting so angry at your uncle just because you said something wrong? Even if your Imperial Brother was here, he wouldn't be as disrespectful as you, "the Empress Dowager said coldly.
Mo Rongyi turned to smile at the Empress Dowager. "Muhou, Imperial Brother naturally wouldn't be as weak as me. He has always been forceful. If he heard that someone was slandering Empress Sister-in-law like this, he definitely wouldn't say anything unnecessary and would have ordered the execution."
The Empress Dowager remembered the Emperor's personality and her face paled. She knew that Yi was speaking the truth. With the Emperor's love for Empress, he wouldn't allow anyone to say anything bad about her. Although the Qiu Family was his uncle's family, they had never met and there was no relationship. "Alright, alright. Your uncle only said one thing in front of aijia. He definitely won't speak of it outside."
Mo Rongyi knew that if Qiu Yaozong dared to speak nonsense outside, it was most likely because the Empress Dowager had tacitly agreed to it. That was why he purposefully spoke harshly here. If he didn't scare the Empress Dowager and Qiu Yaozong, who knew what they would do.
"Yes, Muhou." Mo Rongyi nodded. "Muhou should know that Imperial Brother is already with Empress Sister-in-law. I believe that they will return to the capital soon."
The Empress Dowager said faintly, "It is naturally a good thing that the Emperor is back."
Qiu Yaozong said with a smile, "Yes, it is a happy occasion that the Emperor has returned from a great victory. When the time comes, it will also be a happy occasion for Little Prince to marry Wang Fei. That is double happiness."
"Who said that ben wang is going to marry Wang Fei?" Mo Rongyi frowned at Qiu Yaozong.
"Marriage is a major event in life. Your uncle is just concerned about you," the Empress Dowager said faintly.
Mo Rongyi said, "Muhou, your birthday is coming soon. Are you planning on holding a banquet this year?"
Originally, this matter should have been decided by the Emperor, but the Emperor wasn't here. While Mo Rongyi felt that it wasn't appropriate to hold a banquet, he still needed the Empress Dowager to say it.
The Empress Dowager had originally planned on using the banquet to meet the beauties of the prestigious families, but after what Yi had said last time, she had to change her mind. Even though there was good news coming from the border, it was still a time of war. The national treasury was already lacking, so it wasn't right for her to hold a banquet.
"Aijia has a birthday every year. This year, the border is tight, so there is no need for a banquet. Just hold a few banquets in the palace, and aijia and the consorts will have a meal," the Empress Dowager said faintly.
A faint smile appeared on Mo Rongzhan's lips. "Alright, then this subject will follow Muhou's orders."
Qiu Yaozong immediately became anxious when he heard this. He had wanted to take advantage of the Empress Dowager's birthday to send his two daughters into the palace to see the world. If they didn't hold a banquet, it wouldn't be so easy for them to enter the palace. "Empress Dowager, you only have one birthday a year. How can we just hold a few banquets? In my opinion, we should hold a banquet to let those small countries of Xi Liang know that our Jin Country is truly a great country."
The Empress Dowager was somewhat moved. She looked at Mo Rongyi, wanting to know what he thought.
Mo Rongyi said with a smile, "If Jiujiu can offer ten thousand liangs of gold, then the banquet can be held in a grand manner. It can also let the world know how much Jiujiu supports the Emperor."
Ten thousand liangs of gold? Qiu Yaozong's face turned green. "How can I take out so much gold?"
"Does Uncle think that the national treasury is inexhaustible?" Mo Rongyi snorted coldly.
The Empress Dowager was slightly disappointed. "That's it. This year's banquet will be simpler."
Mo Rongyi said with a smile, "Mother is still the most understanding."
"You still have a lot of things to do in front of you. Go, you don't have to accompany me here," said the Empress Dowager.
"Alright. Mother, I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you later," said Mo Rongyi.
Once Mo Rongyi left, Qiu Yaozong immediately said, "Jiejie, didn't you say that you wanted to let those two girls enter the palace …"
"You want Sister Juan to marry Ah Yi and become his consort?" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it. I will arrange for them to enter the palace. First, find an aunt to teach them etiquette, so that they won't embarrass themselves."
Qiu Yaozong nodded with a smile.
