Chapter 219 Please don't make things difficult for her
When Princess Dou heard the Queen mention Jiang Yutong, she knew that she was trying to annoy her. Before the Supreme Emperor passed away, they were both daughters-in-law of the Xiao family, and they often compared with each other.
But Princess Dou was not the kind of person who would make fun of herself. Although she didn't know Jiang Yutong well enough and she was not happy with her divorce, that was her family affair and it was not the turn of others to point fingers and make fun of her.
"I just arrived in Beijing, and I just want to talk to my mother. How can I care about anything else?"
The Queen Mother wiped away her tears and said, "Queen, please go and do your work. I want to have a private chat with Wanying."
The queen swallowed her anger. This old woman has been partial to Dou Wanying since she and Dou Wanying entered the Xiao family. Now that she is the queen, she still behaves like this.
"Then I will take my leave."
Princess Dou and Changning stood up together to see the queen off.
The Queen Mother asked Nanny Gui to take Changning for a stroll in the Imperial Garden, and then she started to have a private conversation with Princess Dou.
"Mother, what's going on with Feng'er's engagement?"
The Queen Mother knew that Princess Dou had come for this matter and sighed, "This was all Feng'er's idea."
Princess Dou recalled the scene of Xiao Yifeng holding Jiang Yutong's hand yesterday. This was the first time she saw her son showing such tenderness.
Ever since his father died, Xiao Yifeng has been shouldering the entire Pluto Palace on his own. He grew up away from his parents in the capital and has always been a cold-faced person.
Princess Dou looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "Mother, tell me the truth, is this marriage really Feng'er's own choice?"
Princess Dou was afraid that the marriage was not what Xiao Yifeng wanted, but was a suppression of Hades by the person above him.
After all, Princess Dou knew how petty the person above her was.
The Empress Dowager immediately understood what Princess Dou meant. Although the Emperor was her biological son, Xiao Yifeng was also her grandson. "Wanying, I am Feng'er's biological grandmother. No matter what, I will not let anyone trample on Feng'er. I was originally against this marriage, but this is Feng'er's own wish, and the Emperor is also unwilling to this marriage."
"However, this girl from the Jiang family is quite good. She is capable in all aspects and even saved Concubine Wan and her son last time."
After learning what had happened, Empress Dowager Dou was not so anxious anymore. She came to Beijing this time with the thought that if this marriage was forced on Xiao Yifeng by the Emperor, she would withdraw from it even if it meant falling out.
After chatting with the Queen Mother about some other recent developments, Princess Dou left the palace and returned home.
Princess Dou finally had the time to have a good chat with Xiao Yifeng about Jiang Yutong.
The mother and son sat there, and Princess Dou said, "Tell me, it seemed like you wanted to talk to me yesterday."
Xiao Yifeng straightened his back and said, "Mother, I want to talk to you about Jiang Yutong."
Princess Dou didn't say anything, but just quietly picked up the teacup.
"I know this marriage was very sudden, and Mother may be a little prejudiced against her because she's been divorced before. But I want to say that she's a very good girl. She saved my life, and we have a deep connection. This marriage was planned by me, so I hope Mother can put aside her prejudice and get to know her better."
Xiao Yifeng paused for a moment, "It's okay if she really doesn't like it. I just ask Mother not to make things difficult for her."
Princess Dou was a little angry. This was how her son thought of her, even though he had been a little cold to her yesterday.
Princess Dou quietly put down her teacup and said, "Are you done? If you're done, go down."
Xiao Yifeng was a little confused about Princess Dou's thoughts, "Mother..."
"I'm tired."
Xiao Yifeng could only stand up and say goodbye.
As they were almost at the door, Princess Dou's voice came over, "Bring someone here tomorrow."
When Xiao Yifeng heard what Princess Dou said, he knew that Princess Dou had accepted it. He was delighted and bowed respectfully to Princess Dou. "Your son will take his leave."
After Xiao Yifeng left Princess Dou's courtyard, he rode his horse to Jiang's residence.
Jiang Yutong was looking at the account book in the study at the moment. When she heard Xiao Yifeng coming, she put on her clothes and left the study.
"Why did you come here so late?"
Xiao Yifeng stepped forward and shook Jiang Yutong's hand. "My mother asked me to invite you to her house tomorrow. I came to let you know."
"Just send a servant to tell him. It's so cold, why bother making the trip yourself?"
"I don't want to see you."
Jiang Yutong was a little amused and handed the hot water bottle in her hand to Xiao Yifeng, "Warm your hands."
Xiao Yifeng originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he took it. His hands were a little cold, so he couldn't even touch her.
"Then I will prepare something for your mother to like."
Xiao Yifeng smiled and said, "No need to prepare specially, I'm ready."
Jiang Yutong thought this was fine, "Okay, I'll prepare some snacks tomorrow."
Xiao Yifeng nodded, then looked at Jiang Yutong hesitantly, "If my mother says something you don't like, don't take it to heart."
Jiang Yutong had known since their first meeting that Princess Dou might have some prejudice against her, and she had prepared herself mentally. "I understand. If Princess Dou really can't accept our marriage, I will explain it to her. After all, you agreed to this marriage for my sake."
Xiao Yifeng choked and quickly said, "That's not necessary."
After thinking about it, I felt it would be safer to go back and persuade my mother.
Xiao Yifeng left Jiang Mansion and returned to Pluto's Mansion very late. He took a look at Princess Dou's yard and stopped when he saw that Princess Dou had already rested.
Early in the morning, when Princess Dou got up, she saw Xiao Yifeng waiting for her.
"Why are you up so early?"
Xiao Yifeng stood respectfully beside Princess Dou, "Mother, I have something to ask of you."
Princess Dou looked Xiao Yifeng up and down, "What do you have to say now?"
"When Yutong comes, can you please be kind to me, mother? You can tell me if you have anything to say."
Princess Dou looked at Xiao Yifeng in astonishment. She didn't expect that Xiao Yifeng was so nervous just because Jiang Yutong was coming today.
Suddenly he laughed a little, "What kind of person do you think your mother is? Look how nervous you are, I know."
Xiao Yifeng bowed solemnly to Princess Dou and said, "Thank you, mother. This marriage was planned by me. I hope you can help me."
Now Princess Dou really understood Xiao Yifeng's thoughts. Is this still the Pluto who was invincible on the battlefield?
Princess Dou waved her hand impatiently, "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go, do what you need to do, I can't eat Jiang Yutong, why are you here so anxiously telling me off so early in the morning?"
Princess Dou was now really curious about Jiang Yutong. What kind of girl could she be that her son loved her so much?
Jiang Yutong was acting the same as usual, but Jiang Yuwen next to her was more nervous than her.
