After listening to Lu Qingtang's words, the Queen Mother nodded, "Yes, Wang Cairen never favored Wang Cairen again. Your Majesty's energy was limited, and the current situation was troubled. Shen'er happened to be born. Your Majesty was extremely happy. Even Concubine Ning's natal family was embezzled. Things like disaster relief food funds have been forgiven!"
After saying that, the Queen Mother shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied with Her Majesty's move.
But she still liked Mo Zeshen very much.
"Come on, Shen'er, this is your favorite food." The Queen Mother picked up a piece of stir-fried venison and handed it over.
Mo Zeshen quickly picked up the bowl and said, "Thank you, grandma."
There was still more than half a bowl of rice in the bowl. It had just been exposed to the sun and he really couldn't eat it.
In order not to be noticed by the Queen Mother, she still forced herself to eat it with a smile.
I accidentally looked at Lu Qingtang and saw that she seemed to be thinking about something and was biting her mouth with chopsticks.
Embezzling disaster relief items is a serious crime of decapitation. Even such a crime can be pardoned, which shows that His Majesty has a deep love for Mo Ze.
But, what a coincidence.
Wang Cairen lost his child, Concubine Ning got her child, and her mother's family pardoned them. Things that seemed unrelated but logical, seemed strange no matter how you looked at them.
Some can't understand.
"Why don't you eat? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Mo Zeshen tapped Lu Qingtang's bowl with chopsticks, interrupting her thoughts.
Lu Qingtang was too lazy to pay attention and quickly asked the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, do you know when Wang Cai and Concubine Ning had a baby?"
According to the Gongdou script, there may be a plot involving changing children.
For example, the famous civet cat changes to the prince plot.
Maybe Mo Zeshen is the prince, but the civet cat...
But what happened to the dead baby girl? You can't strangle your own child to exchange for another child.
Concubine Ning loves her child so much, so she shouldn't do something that is contrary to human ethics and worse than an animal, right?
After listening to Lu Qingtang's words, the Queen Mother thought about it for a while, then shook her head, "It's been a long time and I don't remember it, but such things are recorded in the files."
Lu Qingtang nodded, wondering if he could find the files and investigate if he had time.
"Why are you so interested in that Wang Cairen today?" Mo Zeshen felt more and more strange the more he looked at Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang blinked, looking innocent, "Is there any?"
Mo Zeshen sneered and pretended to be crazy again.
If he doesn't like to talk, he won't ask.
Do not care!
He looked down at the remaining rice in the bowl and felt a little embarrassed. He really couldn't eat any more.
Just when he was about to find an excuse to get up and leave the dinner table, he saw the Queen Mother giving him another piece of venison, "Shen'er, this is your favorite food. Why can't I see you not taking a bite?"
Mo Ze subconsciously picked up the bowl, but immediately smiled again.
"Grandma, you forgot, you just gave me a piece of it."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, "Oh, is that so? Look at my memory!"
"Then just watch, I'll eat it." Mo Zeshen, with his uncomfortable stomach, ate the piece of venison in front of the Queen Mother, "Don't say that I didn't eat it again."
The Queen Mother laughed so hard that she said angrily: "Little Hu Sun is laughing at my grandmother. He is already a father, and he still laughs at her. It's true!"
Seeing his grandmother happy, Mo Zeshen was also happy.
He smiled and looked at Lu Qingtang subconsciously, but saw her looking at her grandmother with a serious look on her face.
She thought her grandmother's words had irritated her, so she didn't say anything, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
After dinner, the Queen Mother went to take a nap.
Mo Zeshen complained that he was dizzy and went to the side hall to rest.
Lu Qingtang ran to the kitchen and while watching the servants of Longqing Palace cooking mung bean soup, he started chatting with the Queen Mother's close attendant.
This nanny is younger than the Queen Mother, but she still looks quite healthy.
"Mother Song, does the Queen Mother often forget things recently?"
Lu Qingtang picked up a grape and peeled it while talking to Nanny Song, looking very casual.
While thinking about it, Grandma Song replied: "It's not a common thing. I just forget it occasionally. What I did with my front feet is forgotten in the blink of an eye."
After saying that, she immediately asked mysteriously, "What? Is there any problem with this?"
She is a shrewd person, with sharp ears and eyesight, and is good at observing words and emotions.
"It's okay, just ask." Lu Qingtang put the peeled grapes into his mouth.
While eating just now, she accidentally saw the Queen Mother deeply slicing deer meat into Mo Ze's hands, and subconsciously thought of Alzheimer's disease.
The Queen Mother is getting older and forgetfulness is common. Maybe she thinks too much.
But we have to guard against this kind of thing.
So Lu Qingtang said to Nanny Song: "Nanny Song, you should also pay attention to it and see if the Queen Mother often forgets things. If it happens frequently, you must tell me."
"Yes, yes, definitely!" Nanny Song nodded, and then smiled, "Princess Chen is really filial to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is very lucky."
Lu Qingtang picked up another grape and said, "The Queen Mother is also very good to me. Good things are mutual."
Just like Concubine Ning, if she were safe and sound, these things wouldn't happen out of the blue.
You respect me a foot, I respect you a foot!
After a while, the mung bean soup was cooked. Su Mu picked up the mung bean soup and returned to the side hall with Lu Qingtang.
Mo Zeshen was lying on the bed, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
He was probably still thinking about Concubine Ning's attitude, and was inevitably a little sad.
A man would not shed tears easily, let alone show them in front of outsiders, so Lu Qingtang pretended not to know.
"Get up and drink some mung bean soup. It's already dried. I added osmanthus honey to it. It tastes sweet." Lu Qingtang took the mung bean soup from Su Mu and sat by the bed.
Mo Zeshen stood up and sat down, subconsciously reaching out to take the bowl, but he drew back the moment he was about to touch it.
Lu Qingtang was confused, "What's wrong?"
"I have no strength, I'm dizzy, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it." Mo Ze frowned deeply, looking weak.
Lu Qingtang was about to hand the bowl to Su Mu, but then thought of him at the dinner table.
Didn’t you eat well?
How come you don’t even have the strength to hold a bowl?
With a sneer in his heart, Lu Qingtang looked at Su Mu again, "Su Mu, come and serve the prince to drink mung bean soup."
After hearing this, Su Mu quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the bowl, but saw Mo Zeshen turn his face away, "I won't drink what she feeds, she is not my princess!"
The implication was that Lu Qingtang was asked to feed him.
Lu Qingtang saw what he was thinking, but still pretended not to know.
She placed the bowl in her hand heavily on the table, looking impatient.
"If you like it, drink it or not, but if you don't, you'll fall down!"
Mo Ze, who was next to him, listened without saying a word. He just raised his head and looked at the green gauze tent above his head, as if it didn't matter.
Lu Qingtang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he picked up the bowl again and said, "I've convinced you."
Mo Ze was enlightened and immediately opened his mouth to wait.
