Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 144 Compromise
The queen mother didn't speak, and Xuanyuanqi didn't urge him, he knew that his own queen mother must think about it.

Sitting at the table, he took a cup of tea, occasionally took a sip, and waited patiently.

"Let the Ai family consider this matter." After a long time, the Queen Mother finally spoke, but did not directly give a clear answer. Regarding this, Xuanyuan Qi was not surprised, he had already guessed the result.

Anyway, he came to Shoukang Palace today, not all because of this matter, the most important thing was Rou'er's pregnancy.

"Then mother, you should think about it carefully. During this period of time, Erchen has been in the capital. If you think about it, send someone to deliver a letter to Chu's house."

Nodding his head, Xuanyuanqi responded, and the Queen Mother frowned again after hearing this, "You and the Chu family...have been in contact?"

"Empress mother, the Chu family is the son's natal family, so it's normal to keep in touch with each other frequently, isn't it normal?" she said with a smile, Xuanyuanqi's words made the queen mother speechless for a moment.

She understood that no matter what her final decision was, it didn't matter, because the Chu family had already been involved.

"The matter has come to this, the Ai family doesn't want to say anything more, but there is one thing that the Ai family must take care of."

Looking at Xuanyuanqi, the queen mother said again, "No matter what feelings you have for Yurou, she is the emperor's concubine after all, even if she is pregnant now, the Ai family will not let this child be born."

For Chu Yurou, that night and the child in her womb were her shame, but for the Queen Mother, why not?

After all, Chu Yurou is the emperor's concubine. She was defiled by her own son and she was pregnant. If outsiders knew about it, what would be the face of the Chu family?Where is her face?
"Queen Mother, no matter what, I will definitely keep this child." After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Xuanyuan Qi immediately expressed his attitude.

"You...why don't you let Aijia worry so much? How can you get that child? Where do you let Aijia's face go?"

The empress dowager's face flushed red as she shouted angrily, Xuanyuanqi looked at her with a very firm expression on his face.

"Mother, face is important, but to you, grandson is not important?"

"Left and right, the whole world will belong to my ministers in the future, you are still the honorable empress dowager, she will become a queen, whoever dares to talk about it, my ministers will make him unable to speak again, my ministers will not believe it, they dare to say anything! "

There was a flash of cruelty in his eyes, and Xuanyuanqi's appearance made the Queen Mother understand how much he valued the child in Chu Yurou's womb.

"You..." Pointing at Xuanyuanqi, the queen mother was so angry that she couldn't speak, Xuanyuanqi looked at her with longing in his eyes.

That appearance reminded the Queen Mother that when Xuanyuan Qi was young, he would show such an expression when he wanted something.

Every time, seeing him like this, the Queen Mother would soften her heart, and this time was no exception.

"That's all, since you want that child so much, then stay. However, this matter must be considered in the long run. The Ai family can guarantee that they will not attack that child, but whether she can keep the child depends on the child's fortune. "

For a long time, the queen mother sighed faintly, in front of Xuanyuanqi, she compromised again.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Seeing the Empress Dowager's consent, Xuanyuan Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted to the Empress Dowager.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank Aijia. Aijia asks you, what does Yurou think? You did such a thing to her, is she willing to give birth to this child?"

After waving her hands, the queen mother called Xuanyuanqi to get up, and asked him.

"She doesn't want to. I promised her that in the future, she will be my queen, and I have to bother my mother about this matter. Please give her a few words of comfort. She is pregnant right now, so don't worry too much."

Standing up, Xuanyuanqi spoke respectfully, responding to the queen mother's question, he knew that with the queen mother around, the child in Chu Yurou's womb would be safe.

"The Ai family knows, you should hurry out of the palace, this palace is really not safe, I am afraid that now, the emperor knows about your affairs in the capital, you must be careful."

Nodding her head, since she has agreed, she will naturally try her best to keep the child. Thinking of the current situation, the Empress Dowager urged Xuanyuanqi.

"Yes, my son is leaving now. The queen mother must take care of herself. Please take care of Rou'er's affairs."

After saluting to the queen mother again, Xuanyuanqi left the inner room along another way out, the queen mother sat in the inner room and sighed heavily.

After a long time, she opened her mouth and called out. Mother Qin, who had been guarding all the time, heard the voice and hurried into the inner room.

"Empress Dowager." Seeing that there was only the Empress Dowager in the inner room, Nanny Qin came to the Empress Dowager and saluted her.

"Find a time, you go to Roufu Palace and let Concubine Chu Gui come over." Since Xuanyuan Qi promised to keep Concubine Chu's child, then everything has to be considered in the long run.

"Queen Mother, do you want to..." After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Mother Qin spoke, a little unsure of her thoughts.

"Qi'er came just now and told Ai's family a lot. He told Ai's family that Yurou was pregnant with his child, and Ai's family had promised him to keep the child."

Nanny Qin was brought into the palace by the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager trusted her very much.

"Protect the child? Empress Dowager, how can you agree to this?" After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Nanny Qin hurriedly spoke with a look of disapproval.

"The Ai family also knows that this matter should not be dealt with, but you know that child, Qi'er, he is determined to keep this child. If the Ai family does not agree, maybe he will do something."

Thinking of Xuanyuan Qi, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, "It is said that children are the debts of parents, according to Ai's family, this is not true at all."

When the queen mother said so, Mother Qin frowned. As someone close to the queen mother, she naturally knew what kind of temperament Xuanyuan Qi was.

"Forget it, the matter has come to this point, this road, the Ai family can no longer turn back, no matter what, the Chu family has already been implicated."

Sighing, the Empress Dowager let go of her hand and looked at Nanny Qin, "Since she is pregnant, she will not be able to hide it sooner or later, so she must find a way."

Nanny Qin has always had ideas, and the Empress Dowager relies heavily on her.

"Queen Mother, there is no other way now, as you said, sooner or later it will be impossible to hide it, so the only way is to start from the emperor."

After thinking about it carefully, Nanny Qin spoke, and the queen mother looked at her, motioning her to continue.

"That incident has only passed for more than a month, and the concubine's pregnancy is only one month old. If this is the case, let the emperor go to the concubine's place. Just pay attention. After a month, the concubine can announce her pregnancy. At that time, there is no need to hide it."

"Presumably, the prince has been preparing for it all the time. Maybe there is no need to be pregnant for ten months, and the matter will become..."
