old queen

Chapter 75

As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was covering her up!However, what he said was indeed reasonable, and Mu Mingchun had a big backer like Grand Master Mu behind him, if something really happened to her, she would feel terrified! "Then let's do it like this!" With a sigh, the Empress Dowager said helplessly.

"Queen..." That's it, is it a foregone conclusion?Liu Baolin was frightened, and he called out in a low voice with his calf holding the life-saving straw.

Withdrawing her legs, the empress dowager shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice: "Liu Baolin, the Ai family asked you to pick up the prince and princess, if they don't go, you will leave and report back to the Ai family's bedroom, and the Ai family will send someone else to pick them up." Yes, why do you have to entangle with them to the end? Up to now, you are asking for trouble. In the future, you can do it yourself!"

For a woman, it's not worth offending your son, and it's not worth the loss if you ruin your relationship with your grandchildren.Moreover, as far as she observed, Long Che really had no intentions of her, so she might as well get out as soon as possible, maybe she can turn the tide.As for choosing a concubine for Long Che, there are so many talented and beautiful women in the harem, she doesn't need to be obsessed with this one person.Soon, she deduced all the stakes in her heart, and the queen mother withdrew in time to keep a distance from Liu Baolin.

"Queen Mother..." Knowing everything from her estranged behavior, Liu Baolin was flustered, but still did not give up and whispered.

call!Finally, after talking so much, the queen mother finally gave in.Taking a long breath, Long Che said loudly, "Come here, will—"

"Liu Baolin." This time, before he started to pause, Mu Mingchun opened his mouth and completed the noun for him.

Long Che's face froze, he glanced at her, and said coldly: "I know."

real?Mu Mingchun didn't believe it, and looked at him suspiciously.

Believe it or not!Crying in his heart, and not paying attention to her, Long Che ordered the two eunuchs who walked in: "Take Liu Baolin down and give him twenty sticks!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy! The Empress Dowager..." Liu Baolin struggled and shouted, still pinning his last hope on the Empress Dowager.However, the other party didn't care about her at all, and devoted all his attention to a pair of grandchildren.

People were taken away, and only three generations of grandparents and grandchildren remained in the school.Stared at by the empress dowager's apologetic eyes for a while, knowing that the elder felt guilty but couldn't tell because of his face, Long Rui raised his head and asked innocently: "Grandmother, are you here today? Do you want to pick up Erchen and Huangmei to play?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!" What a big step!The Empress Dowager hurriedly slid down the escalator, nodding her head like a pounding garlic.

"Okay, Jiu'er, let's go there with the emperor's grandmother!" Holding his sister's hand, Long Rui said softly.

"But, queen mother..." Turning to Mu Mingchun, Long Jiu'er looked at her mother with nostalgia, and from the bottom of her heart she was more willing to play with her.

"We'll go to the Empress Dowager after lunch, and now, let's go to the Empress Dowager, shall we?" Long Rui coaxed his sister softly as he pulled his sister to the Empress Dowager.

"Then, all right!" With her small mouth pouted, Long Jiu'er opened her arms to the Queen Mother, and said softly, "Hug, imperial grandma!"

"Okay!" The queen mother was so moved that she quickly bent down to pick up her granddaughter, and then waved to Long Rui, "Rui'er, let's go!"

"Yes."

The grandparent and grandson also left, leaving only a couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The two looked at each other, embarrassed, unable to find anything to say.

"You, you can take care of yourself in the future." He coughed twice, and after a while, Long Che said with a straight face, "If I didn't want Rui'er and Jiu'er to see your embarrassed side, I wouldn't help you speak."

"I know, I know, thank you, I'll bow to you, is that okay?" Mu Mingchun curled his lips, and really bent down to bow to him.

Long Che was speechless, looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Now, it's all right, you old man is busy with work, so go get busy with your work! I should go back to my cold palace and face the wall and think about it." After a good show, the children watched it and left. There is no need to stay here anymore, Mu Mingchun shrugged and said boredly.

So, after the excitement, a couple passed each other and parted ways.

Being fined for ten days of confinement, this time Mu Mingchun actually stayed in the cold palace for ten days honestly.Didn't run, didn't jump, didn't make a fuss, didn't even say a word of complaint, which really frightened Qian'er and the others.

Without her haunting, the palace was a lot quieter for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became unreasonably harmonious, but it always gave people the illusion of tranquility before the storm.Especially Qian'er and the others, they were even more cautious in their words and deeds. The five of them took turns to guard Mu Mingchun, fearing that if she didn't pay attention, she would go somewhere and cause trouble again.

But to their surprise, nothing really happened during these ten days.

Ten days later, lunch with the kids and send them off.Mu Mingchun turned around immediately, and said to those who followed him: "Qian'er, dress me up, I want to go out."

ah?Qian'er, who was instructing her maids to clean up the dishes, turned around, her eyes widened, and her heart began to beat irregularly again: "Your Majesty, are you going out?"

"No." Mu Mingchun shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not going out of the palace today."

"That is……"

"I'm going to see the Queen Mother." Mu Mingchun said, reaching out to her, "So, now you can dress me up as gorgeously as you want!"

I am the dividing line moving to the Empress Dowager's bedroom

Unfold a portrait, glance at it, and toss it aside.Unfold another one, glance at it again, and throw it aside.Expand one more...and repeat.The more I looked, the more the brows of the middle-aged lady sitting behind a few desks frowned, and the more frequently she sighed.

With the sound of light footsteps, a court lady walked quickly into the hall, bent slightly, bowed her head and said softly: "The Queen Mother."

"Huh?" Hearing the sound, she raised her head, and there was a trace of doubt in the tired eyes of the middle-aged lady.

"The empress is asking to see you," said the maid.

she?What are you here for?A hint of doubt floated in her heart, the middle-aged lady dropped the portrait at hand, closed her eyes, rubbed her throbbing temples, and said weakly: "Xuan."

"Yes."

The maid stepped back, and soon after, the low female voice sounded again: "I have seen my mother."

When the middle-aged lady opened her eyes, she saw a well-dressed Mu Mingchun standing at the foot of the steps, saluting her respectfully.He raised his hand and said softly, "Get up!"

"Thank you, mother." Mu Mingchun said, turned around and found a chair to sit down on his own initiative.

The maid who had just left brought tea, the faint fragrance cleared up her bewildered mind, and the slightly astringent tea repelled a little drowsiness.Sipping tea, looking towards Mu Mingchun indifferently, the middle-aged lady said slowly: "The queen is so interested, why do you want to visit Ai's house today?"

"I have been in the cold palace for a long time, but I have never come to pay my respects to my mother. I feel very ashamed." Mu Mingchun smiled lightly, and said softly, "Besides, I would also like to thank my mother for interceding with the emperor and giving my son a gift every day." I spent an hour out of the cold palace, so I haven't had time to thank you, my mother! It just so happens that today, the ten-day confinement is over, so I hurried over to ask my mother for a belated greeting. , Thank you. By the way, I also have some personal things I want to talk to the queen mother."

I have said so much before, isn't it just to pave the way for the last sentence?In the past few years in the harem, she has a lot of experience, so the middle-aged lady raised her brows and said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Looking around at the No. 20 attendants in the palace, Mu Mingchun smiled lightly and shook his head lightly: "There are so many people present, I'm afraid it's inconvenient! I also ask the queen mother to dismiss these people and leave us alone." .”

"Are you afraid of being shamed by what you said?" The middle-aged lady asked a little aggressively, with the corners of her mouth curled up sarcastically.

But Mu Mingchun shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "I have nothing shameful, I'm just afraid. When I say something, it will hurt your mother's face, then it will be bad."

Yeah?The middle-aged lady chuckled, seemingly puzzled: "What's the shame of Ai's family?"

are not there?Mu Mingchun also smiled lightly, looked her in the eyes, and said word by word: "What I want to talk about with my mother is about Rui'er and Jiu'er."

Hearing this, I couldn't help thinking of the scene ten days ago in my heart. The middle-aged lady's expression froze, and her heart kept sinking.

"You all go down." Immediately changed her mind, with a plain face, she said to the people on the left and right.

"Yes."

Twenty people left one after another, leaving only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the huge bedroom, and it was terribly empty for a moment.

After everyone had left and the door was closed, Mu Mingchun got up, walked to the desk, put his hands on the desk, faced the complex-looking middle-aged lady, and said sincerely: " Empress Dowager, please spare my children!"

"What did you say?" Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's heart seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, and she almost jumped up. She hurriedly said loudly, "They are all grandchildren of the Ai family, and it is too late for the Ai family to love them , why not let it go?"

"Yeah, you love them, but you don't like me." Mu Mingchun sneered as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and his eyes gradually turned cold.

The middle-aged lady panicked at the sight of her eyes.Opening her mouth, she wanted to say something, but the little secret buried deep in her heart was revealed by her, and she wanted to refute it, but she couldn't refute it.I worked hard for a long time, but in the end I didn't say a word.

Looking down, he saw a pair of portraits on the table, picked up one casually, unfolded it, and saw the graceful beauty above, Mu Mingchun smiled softly.Roll up the portrait, gently put it back in place for her, then looked up at the uncomfortable middle-aged lady in front of her, she said softly: "You have been looking for a suitable candidate to take my place, right? ?”

"Yes!" The middle-aged lady nodded and said in a deep voice.Now that the last layer of window paper has been pierced by her, she has nothing to hide at all.The middle-aged lady lowered her face and said coldly, "Originally, the Ai family did not approve of your marriage with the emperor from the very beginning. You are older than him, arrogant, selfish, and can't tolerate others. How can you be a queen?" The best candidate? It’s just that the emperor, who was still the prince at that time, insisted on accepting you as his concubine. Grand Master Mu and your mother also tried their best to marry you into the royal family. You will definitely change in the future, and the Ai family reluctantly agreed. But, later, look at what you have done? Bullying concubines, even the emperor! Your temperament, not only has not changed, but also become more and more arrogant, If it wasn't for the fact that you gave birth to Rui'er for the emperor, the Ai family would have ordered all the ministers to join the petition to abolish you and replace you with a virtuous and virtuous daughter!"
