The Queen Mother knew the emperor's embarrassment and shame at this moment, so she smiled and raised her hand and waved.
Otherwise, he would cause trouble for Lu Xinran and motioned for him to sit next to him.
"Why are you here so early? Come and sit down quickly. If you come here suddenly, the dining room may not be ready yet."
The Queen Mother said this casually, but when the Emperor thought about what he just heard, he felt uncomfortable again.
Was he lowered before?
Otherwise, why would Concubine Chen agree to change the time of her visit to Ronghui Garden on the day of her mother's birthday, just to go back early and have sex with her?
When did he become so stupid that he no longer respected his mother?
A moment of confusion flashed through the emperor's heart, but the words that fell to his lips became: "I have been busy with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River these days. I haven't been to Yongshou Palace to accompany you for a long time. Today is your birthday, so my son should spend more time with you."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, speaking lovingly as if she had never heard her voice before.
"How are you, Queen Mother? You are a good emperor. It is your duty to be busy with court affairs. There are floods in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know how many people have to flee and go hungry. This matter needs to be handled with care."
The Queen Mother handed him the steps, and the emperor's previous embarrassment finally disappeared.
When his eyes fell on Concubine Chen, there was hesitation amid doubts.
Concubine Chen had a miscarriage before, and all the evidence pointed to the queen.
Because he was suspicious of the queen, he directly concluded that it was the queen who did it without further investigation, and even scolded her.
If he really has nothing to do with the Queen... then has he caused the Queen to suffer a lot of grievances over the years?
[What is the emperor's look like? There are so many people here. Isn't he not planning to save the last bit of face for the queen? 】
[The empress is such a glorious person, but she has been wrongfully reprimanded by him all these years without any psychological distortion or resentment. What else is he going to do? 】
[Hey, the queen is so pitiful. Why couldn't she think about it back then? If she had married General Qi, she would still be riding horses in the desert. How comfortable she would be. 】
Why do you need to be a resentful woman in this deep palace?
[Hey, the emperor is not worthy of her courage and love to give up everything. 】
[Men are all big hooves, and whoever takes things seriously is a fool. 】
emperor:"……"
He squinted at Lu Xinran who was hiding behind his family. The little girl still looked honest and responsible.
The Queen Mother was not unhappy at all when someone called her son, and she felt particularly happy.
Ever since he became emperor, his son has become a heartless man. Over the years, he has been walking around the harem and behaving more and more absurdly.
It would be great if this girl could really wake him up by scolding him.
The queen felt a little dazed ever since she heard Lu Xinran mention the past of his youth.
All the things she had experienced when she was a teenager were suppressed deep in her heart and she no longer dared to touch them.
She almost forgot that there were times when she was angry with her clothes.
If I had married Qi Yu back then...
There was mist in her eyes, and she bit the tip of her tongue to endure it.
Concubine Chen always felt that the atmosphere in the waterside pavilion was a bit strange. She pouted slightly and blinked her big eyes, timidly stood up and went to greet the Queen Mother.
"I have met my queen, and my queen is blessed."
"Queen mother?"
The Queen Mother gave her a disgusted look, feeling that it was really unlucky to see her acting so pretentious on her birthday.
"Your current status is not enough to call me Queen Mother of the Ai family. You should call me Queen Mother. When the emperor asks you to be the queen, you can call me Queen Mother of the Ai family."
Concubine Chen was humiliated by her being so frank. She swayed and looked at the emperor aggrievedly.
The Queen Mother frowned deeper: "Okay, do you think the Aijia has bullied you? The emperor loves you so much, and the position of the queen may be yours soon. Then the Aijia and the queen can go to the imperial mausoleum together. "
"Stay back!"
The emperor scolded him and stood up nervously and knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "Why did the Queen Mother say this? You are hurting your son."
The Queen Mother looked at him complicatedly, and deliberately stepped aside to give her a step up. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the trance-looking Queen and couldn't help but feel distressed.
In the end, she couldn't hold it back and Youyou spoke out to support the queen.
"Emperor, who has been by the Aijia's side all these years? You know in your heart that the Aijia cannot live without her."
The royal family could not reconcile, and the queen could only be the wife of the Song family from the day she married into the Song family.
She knew that the emperor had been fascinated by Concubine Chen these years, and she couldn't control it. She could only try her best to maintain the last bit of dignity for the empress.
At least let all the courtiers present today know that even if the queen does not please the emperor, she still has her.
The disappointment in the Queen Mother's eyes and the Queen's refusal to shed tears made the Emperor feel extremely unhappy.
In their eyes, he was really such a bad person.
[The emperor is still... aggrieved? 】
[I promised that the queen would truly love her for the rest of her life, but she managed to seize the military power from her father and brother within a few years of their marriage. After that, she was still worried and secretly took medicine every time she went to the queen's palace, fearing that the queen was pregnant. 】
[Concubine Chen dares to design the queen like this, isn’t it because of the confidence he gave her? 】
[Even the Queen Mother saw that he wanted to depose the Queen... Hey, for every dog-killer who is righteous, the most unfaithful one is a scholar. 】
"enough!"
The emperor roared angrily and looked straight in the direction of the Lu family.
"Somebody come!"
"emperor!"
The Queen Mother stood up angrily, "Do you still remember that this is my birthday party! Do you still remember that I am your mother?
"You came here early just to be able to go back early to accompany Concubine Chen. It's so ridiculous. In your heart, I'm not even as good as a concubine.
"What do you want to do now? Do you want me to go one step ahead of the queen and guard the imperial mausoleum? You are so majestic, so I don't want to hold this birthday party today!"
The Queen Mother was so angry that she swept the tea bowl on the table, and the porcelain fell to the ground with a crisp and shattering sound.
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "Mother, are you trying to force your son?"
To threaten and persecute his son for a monster who can read people's hearts?
"Forced?" The Queen Mother laughed angrily: "Look what you look like now! You have been seduced by a woman to the point of losing your soul. It hurts so much. Why did you come here today!"
A wonderful birthday party was completely ruined by an unlucky and disgusting thing.
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Chen again in disgust. Concubine Chen was timid and didn't know what was going on. She just shrank her shoulders and tried to hide behind the emperor.
When he was like this, the emperor subconsciously turned sideways to block the person behind him.
[Tsk, you are really a filial son when you are playing pure love at your age and don’t even care if I am about to faint from anger. 】
[Unfortunately, the purpose of the little white rabbit is very clear, that is, to become the queen, and then support her mother's family. Well, let's blow the pillow wind so that the bamboo horse who grew up together can become a great minister, and there will always be opportunities to be with her in the future. Harem tryst. 】
[Hey, look at Concubine Chen and then look at the Queen, it is wrong for someone who is not favored to breathe. 】
The emperor turned his head and looked at the timid and sweet Concubine Chen behind him, and for the first time he felt shaken in his heart.
The Queen Mother seemed to have aged twenty years at this moment. She squeezed the arm handed to her by the old palace man tightly.
"Emperor, why don't we have a good trial on Concubine Chen today? The Ai family will come to do the trial!"
