reborn princess

Chapter 416
Shen Weilan hurriedly knelt down, "Minister Shen Weilan, I have met the emperor!"

"Stay flat!" The emperor waved his hand and asked her to stand up.

"The emperor is here, show the seat to the emperor quickly, and the king of Changping County, also bring him a chair. After setting up the rules in front of Aijia for a long time, look at this face, it is almost turning into a bitter face." The queen mother was very happy to see the emperor, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring a chair for the emperor.

Because of this, Xuan Yu got a chair and was able to sit down.

The emperor smiled and asked: "Did the queen come to pay her respects to the queen mother today?"

The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "Here we come, a large group of people, noisy, came early in the morning. The Ai family felt a headache when they saw such people, and they deliberately refused to let them come, and it was not easy to shake their filial piety." It's just that the Ai family doesn't know, is the emperor here to visit the Ai family today, or someone else?"

As the queen mother said, she glanced at Shen Weilan vaguely.

The emperor laughed and said, "Of course the minister is here to pay respects to the queen mother!"

"If you coax a child, the Ai family won't believe you!" The queen mother glared at the emperor with a slight annoyance.

The emperor raised his hand and touched his nose in embarrassment, then smiled and said: "The queen mother is very aware of the details, and the children are raised by the queen mother, so naturally they can't lie to the queen mother."

"You guys, one or two, do you all think that Aijia is an old witch, and want to eat her after bringing this girl into the palace?" The queen mother pointed at the emperor and Xuan Yu, looking a little unhappy.

"No!" The emperor quickly denied. "It's just that the queen mother also knows that Erchen and Shen Luo grew up together, and the only reason they want to see this girl is to ask her about Shen Luo's recent situation."

When the queen mother heard him mention Shen Luo, she couldn't help sighing softly, "Shen Luo is also a poor child. He devoted half of his life to the country, and finally married a daughter-in-law, and killed two lives. Your Majesty, if there is a suitable boudoir woman, how about Give Shen Luo a marriage."

When Shen Weilan heard it, how could this work?Shen Luo is now her stepfather, how can the emperor grant him a marriage?
So, she quickly raised her eyes to look at Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu should know about this matter. The guards who followed Xuan Chen couldn't hide it from him. Moreover, Xuan Yu still has his own influence at the border. This news It should have been passed on before she and Xuan Chen returned to the capital.

The emperor said: "Mother, before I can tell you about this matter, Shen Luo is already married!"

"Oh?" The queen mother was surprised. "Which family's daughter is it? What's your temperament? I watched that child Shen Luo grow up, but I must not let him suffer any more!"

The emperor looked at Shen Weilan with a smile and said, "It's this girl's mother!"

"Ah?" The queen mother was taken aback when she heard the words, and turned her face to look at Shen Weilan. There seemed to be some displeasure between her brows, but she didn't say much. After a long while, she sighed quietly, "Well, you children, For the sake of their respective families, few can live comfortably, but Shen Luo's ability to be free is also his good fortune. The Ai family doesn't care about these things anymore, you are all grown up, and you all have your own ideas."

The emperor looked at Shen Weilan with a smile, looked her up and down, and said, "Are you that stepdaughter of Shen Luo?"

"Yes!" Shen Weilan replied obediently with lowered eyebrows, knowing that whether she can get revenge or not depends on the emperor's will in the end.

"How is your father now?" The emperor asked Shen Weilan about Shen Luo's situation very amiably.

"Minnv's father is very good. When Minnv came, the teacher told Minnv to bring a word to the emperor. He... will always be there!" Shen Weilan said, raising her eyes to glance at the emperor.

But she couldn't see any expression from the emperor's face. The emperor always maintained a gentle and refined expression, not as excited as she imagined.

She quickly lowered her eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and stood there pretending to be invisible.

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, "The rules are good, have you learned them?"

Shen Weilan said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, the princess of Changping County specially sent someone to teach the women of the people!"

Of course, she couldn't tell the emperor that this is the rule she learned in her previous life, so she had to push it to Xuan Chen's mother. Anyway, Xuan Chen's mother did try to send someone to teach her the rules, although she failed in the end.

But Xuan Chen's mother is not here now, and she is not afraid that her future mother-in-law will not admit it.

The emperor nodded, turned his face to look at the queen mother, "Queen mother, if there is nothing wrong, let this girl go back!"

After the Queen Mother looked at him with a half-smile, she said, "This girl came all the way from the border and sent two pieces of embroidery to the palace. Tell me, what should the Ai family give her?"

The emperor smiled and said, "What kind of embroidery? The queen mother seems very satisfied."

"I'm not very satisfied. It's double-sided embroidery. Brother Yu's daughter-in-law sent a few double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs to the palace before. Ai's family is very rare. Now this girl sent two screens in, saying it was one. It's for the Ai family, and the other one is for you and the empress." The queen mother said with a smile, and waved her hand, signaling the maid to show the two embroideries to the emperor.

The emperor watched it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction, "If the queen mother likes it, she can keep it!"

The Queen Mother gave him a look, and said incredulously: "Look at what you said, I am a mother-in-law who robs my daughter-in-law, how ugly is this?"

The emperor hurriedly said: "Why? The queen usually wants to give the queen some rare things to please the queen. If she knows, she will definitely agree."

"Then..." The queen mother said happily like a child who got a favorite toy. "Then I will stay!"

The emperor smiled, "The queen mother just stay!"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes with a smile, turned her face to look at Shen Weilan, "Girl, what do you want?"

"Ministers don't ask for anything!" Shen Weilan suddenly knelt down to the Queen Mother and kowtowed. "As long as the queen mother likes it, it is a great blessing for the daughters of the people!"

The Empress Dowager raised her brows slightly, "In the cold winter months, you came all the way from the border, so you really don't want anything?"

"Minnv's father often told Minnv that he had no parents when he was a child, and the empress dowager took care of him. He always wanted to do some filial piety for the empress dowager, but he didn't know how to do this. It's just to do a filial piety for my father, to repay the kindness that the empress dowager gave to my father and the old man in the past, and I dare not ask for anything."

The queen mother couldn't help laughing, and looked at Shen Weilan's face with lowered eyebrows and said: "He knows how to advance and retreat! Well, after kneeling for a long time, does your knee hurt? Get up quickly, brother Chen is here, Seeing you kneeling all the time, it's time to blame Aijia!"

Shen Weilan stood up with the corners of her mouth twitching, thinking that this old man could actually tease people, which shows that people from the Xuan family are indeed good at inheriting certain aspects.

After a while, a little eunuch led Xuan Chen in.

Xuan Chen stole a glance at Shen Weilan, and saw that Shen Weilan was standing aside with all his hands and feet, and there was nothing unusual, so he let go of a big stone in his heart.

Just as the queen mother deduced, he knew that the queen mother had summoned Shen Weilan, and he was nervous. He didn't know what the queen mother meant, so he hurriedly took the two double-sided embroidery pieces that had not yet been inlaid into the palace, intending to ask the queen mother for her. happy.Unexpectedly, when he came to the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the guards guarding the gate, saying that it was the Queen Mother's decree, and he could not be allowed to enter without receiving a new decree.

He could only ask someone to invite his father out, hand over the embroidery to his father, and let his father come and see Shen Weilan's condition.

At this time, seeing that Shen Weilan was not injured or punished, he felt relieved, and knelt down on the worship mat to greet the Queen Mother, "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

"Little monkey boy, you've grown so tall, come quickly and let the Ai family take a look." The empress dowager waved to him with a smile.

Xuan Chen agreed, walked over quickly, knelt down at the Empress Dowager's feet, and gently beat her leg, "How is the Empress Dowager always?"

"Okay, little monkey, get up quickly, don't be courteous at Ai's house, Ai's house is happy to see you." The queen mother pulled him up, raised her head and looked at him carefully. "Brother Chen has really grown up. I haven't seen you for a few years, and I'm as tall as your father."

Xuan Chen said flatteringly with a sweet mouth: "The Empress Dowager is getting younger and younger, I can't even find a single wrinkle on her face."

"Nonsense!" Although the queen mother knew that he was deliberately flattering herself, she was still very happy in her heart. The Xuan family was her natal family, Xuan Chen's father was her nephew, her grandfather was her younger brother, and the Xuan family was her strong backing Well, without the Xuan family, she would not be able to sit in the position of queen mother, so she is very close to her natal family.

"If Aijia is not old, won't he become an old goblin?" The queen mother asked while holding his hand. "The Ai family brought your fiancée into the palace, are you afraid that the Ai family will eat her, or are you afraid that the Ai family will hide her? Why are you so eager to invite your father and the emperor to watch over the Ai family?"

Xuan Chen pursed his lips and laughed, "What did the Empress Dowager say? It was my fiancée who embroidered two screens and planned to present them to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress. I feel that if the Empress Dowager is so rare in embroidery, It will take a year and a half for the craftsman to finish carving the screen, so why don't you send it to the palace in advance, and ask the queen mother to see if you like it? Who knows that the guards at the palace gate won't let me in, so I can't help it , so I asked my father to help pass it on."

"Little monkey, play tricks with Ai's family, you are not afraid that Ai's family will ask your father to beat you up?" The queen mother looked slightly annoyed, and looked at her nephew lovingly.

"Why is the queen mother willing to ask my father to beat me up? The queen mother is too late to hurt me!" Xuan Chen said firmly. "Looking at the Queen Mother smiling so happily, it can be seen that I have seen those two pieces of embroidery!"

The Empress Dowager said with a pleasant smile, "I see, Ai's family is here, what reward do you want?"

Xuan Chen blinked his eyes and said, "I want to ask the Queen Mother for a painting of calligraphy. I wonder if the Queen Mother would like to give it to you?"

The queen mother couldn't help laughing, "You little monkey, you have a lot of heart! What do you want?"
