It wasn't until Nian Shilan left with her two children that the Queen Mother's expression changed.
The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen coldly, but still did not call the other concubines in.
"The Ai family heard that you sent someone to find Zhixue?"
The Queen Mother didn't want to care about her at first, but now that she was like this, the Queen Mother understood what she was going to do.
The Queen did not expect that the Queen Mother would ask her about Zhixue at this time.
"Yes, I heard that Zhixue and my sister look very similar. When the emperor was in a bad mood, I sent someone to find her. I originally thought that if Zhixue could enter the palace, the emperor would be happy."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she heard the Queen's false words.
"Yi Xiu, I'm afraid you've forgotten how Chun Yuan ended up with Fujin, right?"
After the Queen Mother said this, the Queen's expression changed.
"If Chun Yuan had not entered the palace back then, then the direct descendant Fujin should have been yours. Don't be too smart again, otherwise you are not the only one to be the queen."
The Queen finally lost her composure after listening to the Queen Mother's words.
In fact, it's not that she hasn't thought about this problem, but now that she is the queen, even if the emperor likes Zhixue, he can't dethrone him.
But when she heard the Queen Mother's words today, she suddenly woke up.
Although Zhixue is not the chief descendant of the Ulanara clan, he is still a collateral descendant of their Ulanara clan.
If the Queen Mother really annoyed her, once the Emperor expressed his concern for Zhixue, the Queen Mother would not hesitate to change her.
I thought that my position had been stable over the years, and I looked down on the Queen Mother less and less. I was really getting carried away.
"Queen Mother, my concubine..."
"Call them in."
The queen wanted to explain something, but the queen mother didn't want to hear it. She interrupted her first and asked someone to tell her about the concubines outside.
By the time all the concubines from each palace had paid their respects to the Queen Mother, it was already almost noon.
The queen first remembered what she wanted to explain to the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would not give her a chance at all. She first said that she was tired and asked Zhuxi to give it away.
"Your Majesty, you are back. Are you tired after talking all morning? I have asked you to prepare pear soup for you to soothe your throat."
As soon as the Queen Mother came in, Nian Shilan hurried over to help her.
How could the Queen Mother not feel warm after listening to Nian Shilan's words?
"You are interested. Where are the two children?"
"When they got tired from playing, they let the wet nurse take them down to sleep."
Nian Shilan said as he brought the soup and handed it to the Queen Mother's hand.
The Queen Mother nodded and took two sips and asked, "Can I give you the bamboo breath bracelet?"
"Give it."
Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."
"It's the Chinese New Year, and this is also a little thought from the Ai family."
The Queen Mother's heart had actually been given to her a long time ago. Today, Nian Shilan could see that it was purely for her two children.
"Queen Mother, I'm thinking that I won't go to the evening banquet at the palace."
Nian Shilan came up with the words he had thought about for a long time: "There are many people in the palace this year, including my concubine. You are alone in the palace every year, and this year I have two children." How about staying up late with you?"
The Queen Mother did not expect Nian Shilan to have such thoughts: "The Ai family heard that noble Qian told the emperor that he did not want to see you?"
"I can't hide anything from you, old man."
Nian Shilan smiled bitterly: "She doesn't want to see me, and I naturally don't want to see her. Now that she is pregnant, she is naturally more delicate, and I don't want to make the emperor unhappy."
Then he pulled the Queen Mother's arm with a pitiful look and said, "You don't want to see me spending the New Year alone in the palace with my children."
"The Ai family naturally hopes that you will accompany the Ai family, but you are a noble concubine now. How can you not go to such an occasion?"
The Queen Mother looked at Nian Shilan and advised: "Even if you don't want to go, you have to think about the two children. On New Year's Eve, the emperor must see them. Otherwise, when Qian Guiren's child is born, the emperor may You even forgot about your child."
"But..."
"Just relax. As for Qian Gui, the Ai family will let her raise her baby in the palace without having to come out."
It can be said that the Queen Mother has thought very carefully about Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan was moved when she heard the Queen Mother's words, but she could not let the Queen Mother offend the Emperor for her own sake.
"Then I will listen to the Queen Mother and go to dinner in the evening. However, Queen Mother, you don't have to vent your anger on the noble Qian. At worst, I will just ignore her."
"It would be nice if you could think so."
The Queen Mother nodded after listening to Nian Shilan's words: "You should go back early and prepare. Just come back tomorrow. You don't need to come today."
"I really want to accompany you to watch the New Year's Eve. Your Majesty will not rest at my place at night. I will come back after eating early."
Nian Shilan didn't care whether the Queen Mother agreed or not. After saying that, he stood up and left: "I have promised you to go to the banquet. If you refuse, I will come. I will leave."
After that, he left.
The Queen Mother looked at Nian Shilan's back helplessly and smiled, and Zhu Xi looked happy at the Queen Mother's smile.
"This Concubine Hua is looking more and more like a child."
"Originally, she was not that old, but now she has thought about it. It is not just a matter of sticking to the emperor, which is also a good thing."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "You have also seen what happened in Yixiu today. What do you think?"
Zhuxi had been with the Queen Mother all her life, so it was normal for the Queen Mother to ask her about this kind of thing.
"You know the Queen's temperament best. Back then, Concubine Hua was oppressing her in every way, but she could still endure it. After all, she had earned a reputation as a virtuous person in the emperor's favor. But now, Concubine Hua wants to change her mind. Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui They are favored one after another, so it’s understandable that the queen can’t bear it.”
"If it was Shilan before, there is nothing wrong with her doing this. But now everyone in the palace respects her, so why can't she be patient? She is just getting more and more ambitious. The Ai family is really afraid that one day, if she causes any trouble, the Ai family will not be able to protect her."
In fact, the Queen Mother had never thought about choosing someone else to be the queen, but Yi Xiuruo just didn't take her seriously, so he could turn a blind eye and ignore her. Now that all of the emperor's heirs have been killed by her, she is not satisfied yet. She only wants to support her third elder brother to become the prince so that she can be a legitimate queen mother, but she is a little too impatient.
"The Queen is not young anymore. Queen Mother, there are some things that you don't have to worry about anymore."
Zhu Xi actually wanted to say that the Queen Mother should just leave her alone.
Of course the Queen Mother could also hear what Zhu Xi meant: "The Ai family has lived for the honor of the Wuya clan and the Ulanala clan all their lives. This has long been engraved in their bones."
"But now that you have become the Queen Mother, you are the one who deserves the most happiness."
