harem,

In a paradise where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and which was incompatible with the huge and luxurious Xianyang Palace, a noble lady served a bowl of wild vegetable soup with a smile.

He said kindly: "I haven't cooked in a few years, and my skills are a lot rusty. Let's make do with it for now."

Zhao Ji changed her previous sharpness and said uneasily: "Mother, this kind of thing..."

"Call mother!"

Empress Dowager Xia pretended to be displeased and said: "There are no harem rules here. It's too unfamiliar to call you empress."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "Yes, mother."

"That's right."

Queen Mother Xia showed a happy smile and looked to the side. Zhao Zheng looked very similar to the young Ying Chu.

He gently scooped a spoonful of soup, poured it into the bowl in front of him, and said kindly: "Grandson, come and try your grandmother's cooking."

"Thank you grandma."

Zhao Zheng took a sip without any nervousness, and then praised: "Grandma, this is the best soup my grandson has ever tasted. Thank you so much, grandma."

"Your father also liked to drink the wild vegetable soup I made when he was a child. You guys are like the same generation!"

Queen Mother Xia said with a smile, scooped another small spoonful for Zhao Ji, and then pushed the bowl of wild vegetable soup in front of Zhao Zheng, her eyes full of doting.

After a moment, she glanced at the maids around her, waved her hand and said, "Everyone, go down!"

"promise!"

Over the years,

None of the maids had ever seen Empress Dowager Xia so happy as she was today. None of them dared to speak loudly and retreated quietly.

After that, the three of them ate and chatted like ordinary people. In fact, the main thing was that Empress Dowager Xia asked about Zhao Zheng's mother and son.

She also knew that she had such a grandson, but she did not want to get involved in the harem's fight as the most ruthless emperor's family.

But after seeing Zhao Zheng, she seemed to see Ying Chu when she was a child. Coupled with the similar experiences of Zhao Zheng and Ying Chu, the past debts came flooding out.

What makes her uncontrollable is to treat Zhao Zheng well!

Just after Zhao Zheng said that the Queen Mother Huayang summoned them and told what happened in detail,

Even the stoic Queen Mother Xia's face couldn't help but darken!

at this time,

A voice suddenly sounded outside the door——

"Queen Mother, the king is here!"

"snort!"

After hearing this, Queen Mother Xia snorted angrily and did not answer, while Ying Chu walked in with an embarrassed look on his face.

Just as Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng were about to stand up and salute, Queen Mother Xia forcibly stopped them!

Ying Chu was not angry. He glanced at the dinner table, sat down on his own, and said slightly to please: "I heard that mother cooks in person, so I came here without invitation."

Said,

He directly picked up Zhao Ji's bowl and chopsticks and was about to take a spoonful of soup first, but was slapped on the back of his hand by Empress Dowager Xia.

"I made this for my grandson Azheng. What kind of delicacies does your Majesty want to eat? Why do you need to come here?"

"Even if there is not one in this palace, if the king asks, the Queen Mother Huayang can still find it for the king!"

Ying Chu touched his nose and thought to himself that it was a good thing there were no outsiders here, otherwise he, the King of Qin, would be really embarrassed.

"Mother, I..."

"Call Mother!"

"...Mother."

Ying Chu glanced at Zhao Zheng with a hint of complaint, and then said: "Queen Mother, things are not as you see!"

Having lived in the palace for decades and experienced numerous overt and covert fights, Queen Mother Xia had already guessed something from Zhao Zheng's words.

She was just eager to protect her cubs, and she didn't want Zhao Zheng to be involved in the vortex of the son's succession at such a young age!

Queen Mother Xia waved her hand: "Okay, I am not in the mood to listen to your explanation. How do you want to arrange for my grandson? Just tell me."

Ying Chu leaned close to Empress Dowager Xia's ear, and her voice turned into a thread and passed into Empress Dowager Xia's ears——

"Mother, I have asked Lu Buwei to find a suitable house and prepare for Zheng'er to move out of the palace. This will make it easier for Lu Buwei to teach him personally, and for Zheng'er to use his eclectic methods. Third, it will also make it easier for him to cultivate his own power.

!”

"The throne of King Qin cannot fall into the hands of others, and I cannot let my grandfather die in peace!"

Although Empress Dowager Xia was a little unhappy, she had to say that if she wanted to fight for the throne, she would be restrained in everything she did in the harem!

It's just that she doesn't understand why Ying Chu is so impatient to train Zhao Zheng?

Empress Dowager Xia did not go into details, but nodded: "I will leave one of your personal guards behind you for a while. The one who is stronger will be useful to me!"

Ying Chu responded without hesitation: "Yes, mother."

At this time,

When Zhao Zheng saw that the short-term estrangement between Queen Mother Xia and her son had disappeared, he touched his belly and said with a smile, "Grandma, my grandson is full."

Looking at the half bowl of wild vegetable soup left, a kind smile appeared on Queen Mother Xia's face, and she quietly pushed it in front of Ying Chu.

And reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't just eat it for yourself, don't you feel any debt?!"

Zhao Ji saw this and said quickly: "Mom, I'm full too."

Um?

Ying Chu glanced at Zhao Ji,

He could understand Zhao Zheng calling her 'grandmother', but he was shocked when Zhao Ji called her 'mother'. After all, he was still the 'mother queen' just now.

After a nervous and exciting meal, Ying Chu hurried back to Zhangtai Palace!

…

After a while,

Queen Mother Xia took Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng towards Huayang Palace, which immediately alarmed the entire harem.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Xia is here with Zhao Ji and Gong Zizheng!"

After hearing the panic report from the old eunuch, Queen Mother Huayang was also shocked. Then she sank down and said coldly: "Support me? Don't support yourself to death!"

soon,

Empress Dowager Xia showed up with Zhao Zheng and her son. Without announcing anything, she just barged in.

Outside the lobby,

Just as the old eunuch was about to stop him, Queen Mother Xia coldly ordered: "Slap your mouth!"

Snapped!

The guard of King Qin who was following Queen Mother Xia slapped the old eunuch on the face with his backhand, sending the old eunuch flying for more than ten meters.

After landing, he spat out half a bowl of blood with a 'wow' sound, and his four or five teeth were rolling in the blood!

At this time,

The Empress Dowager Huayang, who had a gloomy look on her face, appeared with her young master Cheng Yu, and said with an unhappy expression: "My sister has such a bad temper, and I will beat her whenever I want?"

And at this time,

Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng saluted at the same time: "Zhao Ji (Zhao Zheng) has met the Queen Mother Huayang!"

Glancing at the two of them coldly, Queen Mother Huayang's eyes fell on Queen Mother Xia again. Just as she was about to speak,

Queen Mother Xia looked at the King of Qin's personal guard and said coldly: "Why stop? Keep slapping!"

"you dare!"

Seeing this, Queen Mother Huayang was about to stop her, but Queen Mother Xia stood in front of her and said with a smile:

"As my sister said, this bitch broke into the Jiaofang Palace without permission and was rude to the king's wife and eldest son. According to the law, he should be punished. I also gave him a few slaps for my sister's sake. Okay.

Let this slave dog have a long memory!"

"you……"

After hearing this, Queen Mother Huayang was angry, but she said with an extremely strong attitude: "Don't Queen Mother Xia know that the matters in the harem have always been decided by me, my servant..."

"Queen Mother Huayang, if I don't come forward, you will naturally have the final say on the affairs of the harem. Now that I have come forward, I will have the final say on the harem!"

Empress Dowager Xia interrupted the other party forcefully, and then warned: "Sister, you must understand that I just turned off the stove and did not turn off the flame!"

"Sister Huayang, don't you want to be a queen mother with peace of mind, enjoy the glory and wealth, and take care of your life? Do you have to compete with my grandson? Do you have to force me to go out?"

"You have to understand that this is Da Qin, not the fiefdom of Chu State with the surname Mi. As long as you don't die, no one will care about how you live!"

After saying that,

After the Queen Mother Xia asked the King of Qin's personal guard to stop, she said in a friendly manner: "Zhao Ji, Zheng'er, accompany me for a walk around the palace!"

Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng responded at the same time: "Yes, Queen Mother!"

Looking at the people leaving, and then looking at the old eunuch whose teeth had been knocked out and whose facial features were deformed, Queen Mother Huayang suddenly became furious.

Rolling his eyes,
Chapter completed!
