Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 374
Nanny Jin raised her head, "The Queen Mother means that Miss Luo San is the trigger?"

The queen mother pursed her lips and smiled, "The Ai family wants to know more about the truth behind the fire in the palace ten years ago?"

Nanny Jin's heart trembled, she raised her head and touched the empress dowager's cold eyes, she couldn't help shivering all over her body.

"The queen mother?"

The queen mother sat up and glanced at Shuxue who was standing beside her without speaking.

"Go and watch outside the door to see if Concubine De has arrived."

"Yes."

Shuxuefu left, leaving only the queen mother and Jinmao in the hall.The oppressive atmosphere of silence in the air was suffocating, cold sweat was already dripping down on Nanny Jin's forehead.The sound of the sand of the hourglass is clear to the ear, as if falling on the heart.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and for the first time, her voice revealed confusion and uncertainty.

"Meng Lan, the Ai family has been thinking all these years, did they do something wrong back then?"

Nanny Jin trembled all over, the queen mother rarely called her name.She fixed her eyebrows and looked at the confused and puzzled expression of the queen mother.After entering the palace for more than forty years, she watched the queen mother grow from a queen to her current position, suppressing the concubines in the harem, and helping the emperor ascend the throne.This woman is fierce, deep, decisive and ruthless.

Among the women in the deep palace, who doesn't have a few lives in their hands?To ascend to a high position, one has to step over countless bloody corpses.Isn't this the kind and kind queen mother in front of me?In her impression, the Empress Dowager has always been decisive and never hesitated, she is scheming but not self-willed.She was undoubtedly successful in her life, but she was also a failure.

Because her husband was thinking about another woman when he died.

It was also because of that woman that she was forced to...

Thinking of that incident, Nanny Jin sighed in her heart.Who said being the most precious woman in the world is the happiest thing?If a woman can't even grasp her husband's heart, no matter how much glory and wealth she has, it will be in vain to live a desolate and lonely life.

"Back then, if... maybe Xin'er..." The queen mother lowered her eyes, and a few sighs floated in her eyes.

"Is it true that none of those things will happen?"

Nanny Jin couldn't help but whispered: "Empress Dowager, everyone has their own destiny. The former empress had such a poor face, it is inevitable to feel sad and pitiful, but the former empress is a person of filial piety, and she respects the empress dowager like a biological mother..."

The Queen Mother sighed again, "That's right, respect her as your biological mother. I'm afraid she still blames me in her heart."

Nanny Jin has been in the palace for so many years, so she naturally knows the stories between the emperor, Prince Rong and the former empress in detail. It’s a thing of the past, so don’t make yourself suffer because of it.”

The queen mother closed her eyes, her mouth bitter.

"The people in the palace are the ones who feel sorry for their families the most. Xin'er...she died unjustly." She opened her cloudy eyes, but they were shining brightly.

Nanny Jin said: "The Empress Dowager thinks that the fire that year was not an accident?"

The queen mother sneered, "In the palace, nothing can happen by accident."

Nanny Jin opened her mouth to say something, but a eunuch's report could be heard outside the door.

"The emperor is here, and the imperial concubine is here."

Then there was Shuxue's voice of paying homage, "Servants see the emperor, see the concubine de concubine."

"Mian." The majestic middle-aged voice was that of Emperor Xiaoren.

The queen mother stared at the past, Emperor Xiaoren and Concubine De came side by side, Emperor Xiaoren obviously just came from the study, and the dragon robe has not been taken off.Then look at Concubine De next to her, dressed in pink and blue embroidered haze and purple peony palace dress, with elegant and beautiful makeup, and a warm and gentle smile on her delicate and soft face.

"My son has seen my mother."

"The concubine has seen the queen mother."

Nanny Jin also blessed her body and saluted.

The Queen Mother smiled and glanced at the two of them, "It's quite unusual today, it's rare for you two to come together."

Emperor Xiaoren smiled, but his originally hard face softened a bit, making him look more handsome.

"Is the queen mother not welcoming son Chen and Sultan?"

Concubine De smiled slightly, "It must be that the concubines don't often come to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is angry."

The queen mother laughed and scolded: "Your mouth is really unforgiving." She shook her head and said, "Why are you standing up? Sit down."

"Thank you mother for giving me a seat."

After the two sat down, the Empress Dowager said: "I sent someone to invite Concubine De to come over, why did you come with me?"

Seemingly simple inquiry, actually contains temptation.

The family of the rich and powerful, even a simple sentence, also has a profound meaning, so it must be answered carefully.

Emperor Xiaoren smiled, "Well, my son was walking around after dealing with the government affairs in the imperial study, and happened to meet Concubine De in the imperial garden, and when he heard the summons from his mother, he followed her."

The queen mother feigned anger and said, "Are you afraid that the Ai family will eat your concubine?"

Concubine De's cheeks were flushed, and she let out a snort.

"The Queen Mother."

Emperor Xiaoren smiled, "Empress Mother, Sudan has a thin skin, so don't make fun of her anymore."

The Queen Mother also smiled, "Okay, okay, if you two want to show off your affection, go back to your own palace and don't show off to me."

Emperor Xiaoren chuckled, "Yes, I would like to follow your mother's instruction." He turned to look at Concubine De with tenderness in his eyes and eyebrows.

The queen mother looked at it, and couldn't help but think of many years ago... sighed silently.

Concubine De turned her head around and said softly: "The queen mother called the ministers and concubines, what's the matter?"

The queen mother straightened her face and said: "Just now Li'er and Huan'er came here."

Emperor Xiaoren also suppressed his smile, and said: "I heard that he has already left the palace. Hehe, that kid rarely enters the palace. What's the matter today?"

The queen mother glanced at him, "There are many people in the harem, and his temper is unpleasant, so as not to offend the nobleman, it's better not to enter the palace."

Emperor Xiaoren couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard that her words contained gunpowder.

"Mother, what's the matter with you? But who made you angry?"

The Queen Mother also seemed to realize that she was too emotional, she frowned calmly, and said lightly: "It's okay, as you get older, your emotions are always changeable."

Emperor Xiaoren didn't doubt him, and instead asked: "What is Li'er going into the palace?"

The queen mother said: "Let Aijia give him a marriage."

"Marriage?" Emperor Xiaoren was obviously surprised, "Queen Mother, Li'er asked you to give me a marriage?"

Concubine De was also a little surprised, but she smiled gently.

"Prince Rong's son is also 16 years old this year, it's time to get married. I just don't know, which lady is he looking at?"

The queen mother glanced at her and said: "I'll talk about this later, the Ai family asked you to come today because of another matter."
