Chapter 102 Tea Appreciation Expert—Xuan Hou

The queen looked at Zhao Dongxiu beside her and asked, "Mrs. Li Xiang, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Dongxiu looked at the queen beside him and asked, "Does the empress like Lord Shen?"

"Of course I do!" the queen replied without hesitation.

No one knows that she likes Shen Luo. Not only does she like her, but she is also thinking about how to abduct Shen Luo into the hands of her son and make him the crown prince of the Jiang Kingdom.

"My wife also likes her." Zhao Dongxiu saw that she mentioned Shen Luo, and the empress's eyes were filled with a gentle and gentle smile. In her heart, at the end of the month, she also understood that the empress's liking was perhaps not an ordinary one.

After clearing his thoughts, Zhao Dongxiu said: "Although I have never met Master Shen, I have heard people from Ning'an City say a lot about Master Shen these days, and I admire her from the bottom of my heart."

Saying that, Zhao Dongxiu looked at the Queen and whispered: "My Lady, Your Highness the Crown Prince has not established a Crown Princess until now. I don't know how many girls from famous families want to see her through it."

"If the Queen tells everyone at tonight's banquet that you would like Master Shen to be the crown prince, do you think that Master Shen's biological father, stepmother, and concubine would take action if they knew this news?"

"At that time, the Queen only has to wait and pay attention to the movements of the ministers in the court, and she will naturally know who Master Shen's biological father is?"

As he finished speaking, Zhao Dongxiu looked at the smiling courtiers on the wine table, who actually had their own thoughts, and said: "For some reason, I always feel that even if the Queen doesn't take action, Master Shen will not let them go."

"That's not possible." When the queen heard that Shen Luo wanted to do it herself, the queen immediately said: "This kind of person will not let Luo'er do it. Her hands cannot be dirty. Your Majesty and I will just clean it up!"

Luo'er, the one who wants to become the crown princess, naturally has to have clean hands!

The two secretly talked to each other, and everyone in the hall was stunned: Didn't this Mr. Li's wife just arrive in Ning'an? How come she is so close to the Queen?

The queen felt countless eyes focused on her and said, "Madams, what do you want me to do?"

"Could it be that the delicacies prepared by this palace are not to the taste of all ladies?" The queen looked at the women in brocade robes at the banquet. Thinking of what happened to Shen Luo, she lost her good temper and even had a hint of anger in her heart.

During these days, she has arranged people in the homes of all the courtiers to keep an eye on their movements. Today, as long as she says something to arouse the jealousy in their hearts, they will soon know who Shen Luo's biological father is!

"Don't dare." Everyone replied lightly, then immediately lowered their heads and ate seriously.

Mrs. Wang stood up, picked up the wine glass with both hands, bowed to the Queen, and then said: "It is late autumn, and the Queen is frail. My wife brought Ganoderma lucidum and presented it to the Queen. I asked the Queen to take care of herself."

"Sit down, I will take good care of myself, so I won't bother you." The queen replied lightly, and then put down her wine cup.

The queen was still in the mood to drink, but when she saw this Wang, the queen's mood instantly deteriorated!

"Empress, what do you mean by this?" Wang asked timidly.

Why does she feel that the Queen seems to hate her?

The queen looked at the Wang family standing in the main hall and reminded her coldly: "Your husband and daughter once gave something to the prince. You won't forget it, will you?"

"No matter how good your stuff is, no one will be lucky enough to enjoy it!"

Seeing that Wang was stunned for a while, the queen then remembered Wang's intention of suddenly giving the gift and replied: "Also, don't think you are using these little things to fool me into ordering the release of your daughter."

"Your daughter was sent to the nunnery by someone sent by the Crown Prince. No one can let her go down the mountain and leave the nunnery unless His Royal Highness orders it."

After saying this, the Queen looked at Mr. Wang and warned: "Sit down, don't stand, lest you get caught in the wind and tell others that I am taking revenge for personal gain and harshly criticizing my wife."

Wang sat down slowly, her eyes full of grievances, but others in the court felt inexplicably happy.

The Wang family was just a concubine, but she married Su Xiang and became the Prime Minister's wife. Although it was a second marriage, she was really the Prime Minister's wife.

But how could she compare to Su Xiang's first wife, the legitimate daughter of Duke Shen, who was proficient in playing chess, calligraphy, painting, and swords, guns, swords, and sticks.

Three years ago, the Wang family's daughter Su Wanying tried to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince and was sent to do hard training. As soon as this result came out, the ladies of Ning'an City looked down upon Wang family and Su Wanying even more.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Dongxiu immediately spoke up and said, "Queen, please don't be angry?"

"Why isn't this palace angry?" The queen took advantage of the situation and asked, and then revealed the secret she had hidden deep in her heart: "If Su Wanying had caused trouble, the prince would not have moved out of the East Palace, opened a new government office, and would not have missed Luo'er."

"The first time I saw Luo'er, I decided that only Luo'er could be worthy of the crown prince!" After saying this, the queen picked up the wine glass she had just put down, glanced at the female family members at the banquet, and paid attention to each of them. Human expression.

"You must have heard that Luo'er was abandoned by her biological father. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are investigating this matter, so you can take care of yourself."

After saying that, the queen pointed the finger at Wang again: "Ms. Wang, you should know how lucky you are to be sitting in this position, and don't make any mistakes?"

"Yes." Wang lowered his head in grievance.

This is different from what she imagined! Why does the Queen have such a big opinion against her?

Zhao Dongxiu keenly noticed that there was something wrong in the queen's words, and asked: "Empress, I see that you are in a bad mood, has something happened? Can you please tell me and be considerate?"

The queen looked at Mr. Wang's head hanging down, about to cry, with a hint of disgust in her eyes, and then she sighed softly: "My father and Mr. Shen are brothers who have lived through life and death. Shen Xiang, the legitimate daughter of Mr. Shen, Wan not only grew up with me, but also my savior."

After saying that, the queen glanced at Su Xiang who was silent and cursed: "Wang and Su Xiang were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Everyone thought that Su Xiang would marry Wang. But no one thought that Su Xiang would marry him. Uncle Shen proposed to marry his legitimate daughter Shen Xiangwan, and they finally got married and went to work in the local government. Unfortunately, the Shen sister passed away less than a year after her marriage."

"Less than a year after the death of Sister Shen, Su Xiang married the Wang family again. She didn't dare to tell everyone in a big way, and she didn't report to His Majesty until she returned to Beijing and resumed her duties." The queen looked at Zhao Dongxiu beside her, her gentle eyes filled with emotion. With a trace of anger.

Zhao Dongxiu frowned and whispered: "My Lady, this matter is so strange. Haven't you checked the cause of Shen's death?"

"Of course there is something fishy!" The queen looked at Su Xiang tenderly comforting the Wang family, and her eyes became even more angry: "I immediately sent someone to check. After the autopsy, it was confirmed that the Shen sister died of illness, and the month of death was the same as Su Xiang's. The description is almost the same.”

"But" Zhao Dongxiu still didn't believe it.

How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Shen passed away a year after they got married, and Wang entered the family less than a year after Shen passed away. If there is nothing fishy about it, would it be called a ghost?

"I know it, and I don't believe it, but that's the fact. I sent more than a dozen groups of people back and forth to check, but not a single flaw was found." Xuan Hou was helpless.

Eunuch Cao ran over in small steps and whispered: "I'm here to see the queen."

After the ceremony, Eunuch Cao said again: "The Crown Prince sent word that he and Situ Shen will be arriving shortly."
