"The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen have brought everyone to Chaoyun Palace."

Aunt Xia bowed respectfully, interrupting the Queen Mother's relaxation with her eyes closed.

A moment ago, Aunt Jinxi, who was with the emperor, came to the Chaoyun Palace to look for Aunt Xia and asked about Princess Yu. Naturally, the Queen Mother also knew what happened at the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet in the front hall of the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the Queen Mother was a little surprised when the group of people came. She opened her eyes and thought for a moment, showing a smile with unknown meaning, and said lazily.

"Now that they are here, let them come in."

After a while, the Emperor, Empress Lu, Ling Guifei, several princes, Su Youning and others came slowly.

At this moment, the Queen Mother was fully dressed and sitting in the main hall with a radiant face.

The emperor felt slightly reassured when he saw the energetic Queen Mother, and stepped forward to salute.

"The son meets his mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Come on, aren't there arrangements for a lotus appreciation after the palace banquet? What a beautiful day without one or two of you? The Ai family is also tired, so you all can go down."

The Queen Mother put the tea cup down heavily and said coldly again.

"Is the injury better? The Ai family heard from Aunt Xia that you went to the side hall today to arrange for those young ladies to perform at the palace banquet?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she acted simply.

"The Imperial Grandmother is worried. You Ning's injuries are not serious."

Su Youning nodded slightly.

"My grandson meets the imperial grandmother."

Queen Lu's hand stiffened when she picked up the tea cup. She knew that the Queen Mother must have learned about what happened in the hall from Aunt Xia, but what she didn't expect was that the Queen Mother would stand up for Su Youning at this moment!

"Okay, let's all go down."

Internally, Queen Lu hated Chu Yu and Su Youning to death, but Concubine Ling had other plans!

Chu Wen's thoughts have been on Su Youning. If it weren't for his palm today, Su Youning would not be injured. He was confused about whether to find a chance to apologize to Su Youning in private.

The Queen Mother waved her hands helplessly, and she couldn't help but feel upset when she saw Queen Lu's pretentious look.

Everyone sat down under the main hall in order of status, served tea to the Palace of the Clouds, and then bowed out respectfully.

Looking around, he saw Su Youning sitting next to Chu Yu, looking docile and well-behaved, with a smile on his face and waving to her.

While the Queen Mother was drinking tea, she abruptly interrupted Queen Lu's words.

"The queen said that there are many things happening in the palace, but is Princess Yu being framed?"

"My son, I was really worried when I heard that you suddenly had a heart attack. It's just that you were busy with chores in the main hall, so you came a little late."

"Okay, please excuse me. The Ai family has never liked liveliness, and my health is not serious. There is no need for you to work so hard."

The emperor sighed helplessly, stood up and said respectfully.

Empress Lu did not dare to attack him openly. Now that Prince Yu's palace had Princess Yu, it gave Empress Lu an opportunity to take action to overthrow him.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the Emperor's words.

"The queen is indeed wrong!"

The Queen Mother and Su Youning were talking to each other as if no one was watching. Empress Lu heard the cause and effect and looked at Su Youning tenderly and apologetically.

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup, just opened the lid and flicked it, then put it down again, her tone was very calm.

"Princess Yu, don't blame me anymore."

"Princess Yu is actually injured? I just think that you are the first concubine among many princes to be married by the emperor, and you have a noble status. But I don't know that you were injured today. It's my fault to ask you to work in the side hall.

.”

"What my mother taught me was that my sons and ministers were not thinking carefully."

Empress Lu's face showed an expression of satisfaction with her understanding.

"For a good birthday banquet, we must invite the ladies from Kyoto to perform. Besides, there are many people in the Ministry of Etiquette who are hosting the palace banquet. You actually entrust this matter to Princess Yu who has only been in the palace a few times. What I know is that you value her and want to call her

To gain face in front of everyone, those who don’t know think that you, the queen, can’t tolerate her and are just waiting to see if something goes wrong in her!”

"The Queen Mother!"

Queen Lu looked frightened and stood up to salute.

Empress Lu and Concubine Ling have the same mentality.

"My son made a mistake for a moment, please don't blame me, mother."

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

It was rare for Chu Yu to watch one good show after another!

Empress Lu was criticized by the Queen Mother like this. No matter how well-educated and determined she was, her face instantly turned ugly.

"Princess Yu, come to the Ai family!"

The smile on the Queen Mother's face grew stronger.

As soon as everyone finished speaking, Empress Lu stepped forward alone to rejoice, her dignified face full of worry.

The emperor saw this and responded.

The Queen Mother looked at the people in front of her and said neither salty nor coldly.

Externally, they have already experienced both prosperity and loss. Today, if Empress Lu is in trouble, then the Lu family is in trouble, so the noble concubine will naturally not be able to please her.

"Princess Yu is really knowledgeable. She is worthy of being chosen by Yu'er personally. Although she does not have the guidance of the nanny in the palace, she still deserves it."

The Queen Mother was a little impatient and interrupted Queen Lu.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

"You Ning doesn't dare. It's a blessing to be able to enter the palace to attend the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet."

Empress Lu was forgiven by the Queen Mother. She stood up and looked at Su Youning apologetically. She was so angry that she suppressed her displeasure.

But the queen is the queen, and she quickly returned to her former gentleness.

Su Youning paused. Was Empress Lu forcing her to declare that she would not pursue today's incident?

Su Youning smiled. Such a cute and innocent smile won the old man's heart.

Su Youning marveled in her heart, the Queen Mother was really merciless to Empress Lu, and she exposed some of her masks in front of the Emperor, the concubine and the prince. Sure enough, people with high enough status can do whatever they want!

The group of people left the Chaoyun Palace, and everyone behind the emperor had different expressions on their faces.

"Are you not just thinking poorly? Princess Yu is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. She was framed at the palace banquet and the royal family was humiliated. You just call it a trivial matter. The Ai family doesn't know where your queen's heart is.

?”

Su Youning took in Queen Lu's expression completely, but she just pursed her lips and lowered her eyes without speaking again.

The others then followed closely and saluted, and shouted in unison.

In the past, he was reluctant to come to this palace simply because he couldn't stand Empress Lu's hypocritical attitude, and he didn't want to hide his hatred for them.

"It's your fault. Now that you're married to Yu'er, you have to change your tune with him."

Su Youning stood up and saluted, then respectfully stepped forward, walked to the Queen Mother, and knelt down again to salute.

"Mother, it is indeed true, but Princess Yu's innocence has been proven."

"Queen Mother, this matter was handled by the son and the Queen together. Please calm down the Queen Mother."

When the emperor saw this, he frowned slightly, stood up and spoke to the Queen Mother.

"Since the mother is tired, the son won't bother her much, so he will take her away."

"Yes, Imperial Grandmother."

Queen Lu's face froze and she froze on the spot.

But when the opportunity arose, Empress Lu found it difficult to seize it.

Chu Lian originally had a slight affection for Su Youning, but he was scolded by Chu Yu twice because of this woman, and he turned to hate this woman.

Chu Nan has a lot of thoughts!

After returning to Kyoto, he has been silently paying attention to the overt and secret struggles in the palace, dormant for more than ten years, just waiting for one day to achieve his wish!

Above the main hall, the emperor led everyone to Chaoyun Palace to visit the Queen Mother.

Some of the officials and their wives went to the back hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to rest, while the rest followed Aunt Jinxi to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the lotus.
