The Empress continued to smile. “Madam Yao asked around about the palace earlier and invited a nanny into the residence. I heard that the daughter has grown up and is used to being pampered. Taking advantage of the period of mourning for her grandmother, she can learn more rules, etiquette, and comfort her grandmother’s mind.”

The reason was extremely dignified. If anyone else heard this, they would praise Madam Yao for being virtuous and polite.

However, those who understood Madam Yao could experience some extraordinary things.

How could there be palace servants with bad upbringing in the palace?

Why didn’t she invite a nanny any earlier or later? Why did she have to wait until the Yi Kun Palace opened its doors to do everything she could to ask around in the palace before inviting a nanny from the palace?

To put it bluntly, she was just worried that the nanny she had hired would not be as dignified as “Auntie Xu” in the past and would be suppressed by Yu Youyao.

After all, as the Empress, she was on par with the Empress Dowager.

Auntie Dan Hongs eyes flashed in understanding.

“Back then, Second Master Yu helped the Imperial Court lift the sea ban. Not long after he returned to the capital, Old Madam Yu was busy helping Second

Master Yu find someone. At first, Old Madam Yu didn’t just fancy Madam Yao. Later, she chose the Yao family. It was Madam Yao, who was still in her residence back then, who used the banquet held by the Yu Residence, where the young misses of the various families were invited into the residence. She asked about Second Master Yu’s whereabouts in advance and got someone to expose her “private” meeting with Second Master Yu. The Yu Residence was a polite family, so this marriage was naturally arranged.”

Large families looked at others before getting married. It was definitely impossible for them to only look at one family.

At that time, Second Master Yu was on the rankings and had even contributed to the Imperial Court. He was also extremely handsome and elegant. He was the ideal man that many daughters in the capital dreamed of!

Even many old nobles wanted to rush to get married to him.

In a wealthy family, every family had to hold a small banquet to invite daughters with suitable family backgrounds into the residence. This way, they could observe their character and talent. There was nowhere to hide the upbringing of the young misses.

The reason why Madam Yao could take the initiative was all because Second Master Yu and Father Yao had a good relationship. Father Yao had a lot of books in his collection. Back then, in order to ban the sea, Second Master Yu often went to the residence to borrow books. Back then, as soon as Madam

Yao went to the Yu Residence, she received many polite treatments from the Yu Residence. This also gave Madam Yao an opportunity.

Such a scheme was not a big deal.

The Yao family was not prominent, but the Imperial College’s Chancellor was very noble. Compared to family background, what was more worthy of attention was Father Yao’s connections in the court. This was what Second Master Yu, who had just entered the royal court, needed.

Large families emphasized their daughters marrying into families with a higher status. In that case, this marriage was suitable.

However, she felt that the reason why Madam Yao could achieve her goal was not necessarily because Old Madam Yu had secretly helped to encourage her.

However, from this, Madam Yao’s personality could be seen.

The Empress chuckled. “She even has such a big idea about marriage. She must be very scheming. I also heard that Madam Yao and Eldest Sister-in-Law are quite at odds. Back then, Madam Yao contributed to the reason why Eldest Master Yu could successfully remarry Madam Yang. After Madam Yang entered the family, she was suppressed by Madam Yao in every way. There was no Eldest Sister-in-Law to suppress her, and no sisters-in-law to cause trouble. Even the elders did not need her to serve them every day. Madam Yao has always been successful in the Yu Residence,”

Madam Yangs father was Yu Zongzhengs superior. Madam Yang had come to the Xie Residence with the first wife to pay her respects. They were both women, so Madam Yao had to get to know them a little. The two of them had become friends after coming and going.

Madam Yao often praised Yang Shuwan for being polite with other women. Later on, when Eldest Master Yu remarried after a hundred days, others only thought that it was ()ld Madam Yu who had taken a fancy to Madam Yang.

That was why Madam Yao praised Madam Yang in front of all the daughters-in-law to make Madam Yang look good and pave the way for this marriage.

Only then did it make sense to suppress some bad rumors in the capital.

After all, what about Old Madam Yu’s reputation as a “virtuous woman”?

Furthermore, Old Madam Yu had been sick for a long time, and her granddaughter had just been born. The Yu Residence’s Second Mansion was also divided into two branches. It wasn’t appropriate for Madam Yao, the second daughter-in-law, to interfere in her brother’s matters. For all kinds of reasons, her originally rude actions were forced.

Come to think of it, Madam Yao had been suppressed by her eldest sister-in-law when she first married into the Yu Residence.

No one would believe that she did not have her own thoughts.

For a moment, Dan Hong did not understand what the Empress was trying to say, but she could more or less tell that not only was Second Madam Yu scheming, but she was probably not tolerant.

Then, the Empress said, “Sigh! They’re all sisters from the same family. Why is there such a big difference? Her daughter is clearly the daughter of the Grand Secretary and the eldest daughter of the first wife. She has the noblest status in the entire clan. Why did she have to let a bereaved eldest daughter of a businesswoman obtain such dignity and suppress her daughter in every way?”

Dan Hong was shocked. Madam Yao was indeed competitive. She might really think that way.

The Empress smiled. “Do you know what to do now?”

Auntie Dan Hong quickly lowered her head. “They’re all sisters of the same family. How can outsiders not compare them? With this comparison, there’s naturally a difference in status. No mother in this world can tolerate her daughter being discussed by outsiders or even underestimated. I’ll immediately send the news out of the palace and order someone to spread the news. Don’t worry. I guarantee that the news will reach Second Madam Xie tomorrow. ”

Actually, the more famous Eldest Princess Shaoyi was, the better the reputation of the other daughters of the Yu Clan would be.

However, as the daughter of the Grand Secretary, Yu Shuangbai did not need the Eldest Princess to boost her reputation at all.

As time passed and Eldest Princess Shaoyi’s reputation increased, it was inevitable that she would surpass Second Miss Yu.

The Empress nodded in satisfaction. “In that case, the script I arranged for Eldest Princess Shaoyi will have to be changed to Second Miss Yu.”

It was simply too easy to control a “mother.”

The Empress frowned and said, “However, we still have to change the content of this script. As for how to change it…” She thought for a moment. “I remember that Old Madam Yu has seen Grandmaster Hui Neng three times.

She can make an issue out of it.’

Grandmaster Hui Neng was famous for his profound Buddhist teachings and proficiency in physiognomy. It was also because he was an eminent monk who had achieved the Dao that his words and actions were profound. He had already closed his mouth a few years ago and had not spoken for many years. If used well, this would become the greatest weapon for competition for the throne.

As long as Madam Yao was willing to cooperate, the Empress was not afraid that the Yu Clan would not fall for it.

The Yu Residence also received the news.

Surprisingly, the east and west branches did not express anything. Although they were still in the mourning period for the Matriarch, and it was not appropriate for the family to hold a banquet, it was a big matter for the daughter of the family to obtain such honor. Not to mention celebrating, it was time to sweep the courtyard and open the door.

The lintel on the door shone brightly.

It also expressed the emperor’s grace.

When others passed by, although they were surprised, they only thought that the Yu Clan was used to keeping a low profile. Furthermore, they were in the mourning period for Old Madam Yu, so they couldn’t help but praise, “Good family style!’

Madam Yao’s face darkened as she entered the house..
