220: The heart is dead
Shen Yunhe was really depressed. Why on earth did she come to the palace to give the queen an acupuncture?
After Shen Yunhe finished speaking, he stopped talking. It would be better to say less words that offend others.
Yaoyao winked at her and didn't know what this little guy meant.
The expression on Concubine Hua's face was uncertain. When Shen Yunhe, a junior, told her what was wrong, her face was burning, but she was still more angry and unwilling!
"Queen Mother! Even the emperor has accepted this title!"
Concubine Hua raised her head high. Why did the Queen Mother hold on to something that even the Emperor acquiesced to?
"oh?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows:
"The emperor has acquiesced?
Concubine Hua is questioning the Ai family’s failure to educate the emperor well?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt down in fear!
Shen Yunhe also knelt down behind the Queen, but only Yaoyao and Xingyu were held in the Queen Mother's arms, as if the sky was falling and they had nothing to do with it.
Shen Yunhe is depressed!
Why does this person have the urge to piss people off?
Yaoyao and Xingyu were both born to her, so why were they pampered everywhere?
"Everyone, get up. The Ai family doesn't like kneeling down here and there!"
The Queen Mother waved her hands in disgust. What she hated most was the routine in the palace. It was so annoying!
Everyone got up again, but Concubine Hua was very discerning and did not get up again.
"Queen Mother...I, I...concubine did not mean that...
How dare I question the Queen Mother’s teachings to the Emperor?”
Concubine Hua opened her mouth and made a mistake again. When she saw the Queen Mother staring at her coldly, she immediately changed her mind.
The emperor had always used her title by default for so many years. How could she have thought that not only the queen had used her title as an excuse before?
Now, the Queen Mother is making trouble with her title!
But she has called herself this title for so many years, is it possible that she still needs to change it?
What will the people in the palace and the forces behind her think of her?
Will she feel that she has lost power? Then she will do something she shouldn't do behind the scenes?
"Then what do you mean? Ai Jia will tell you clearly today!
From now on, correct your identity and don’t think about those who are not yours!
What would you do or say if you were caught by the Aijia!
Don’t blame the Ai family for not giving you a chance!”
The Queen Mother felt a headache when she saw this Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua was just like a troublemaker in the harem.
"Twenty palms, send her back to the palace."
The Queen Mother dismissed Concubine Hua casually. She would not accept the emperor's treatment of Concubine Hua!
"What?"
Concubine Hua couldn't believe what she heard. The Queen Mother actually allowed her to be slapped twenty times in front of so many people?
What's more, everyone here is her enemy!
The servants didn't dare to delay, so they pulled Concubine Hua to the side and had sex with her twenty-eight-year-old before going down!
Twenty big mouths made Concubine Hua scream!
"Woooo..."
Concubine Hua's mouth was swollen and her speech was slurred.
Before she could say anything more, the servants dragged Concubine Hua away, and the whole courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"Hey, my ears are finally clean."
Little adult Yaoyao slumped down on the chair.
The Queen Mother laughed so hard that Xingyu patted her forehead in annoyance:
"Mom, daddy asked Xingyu to teach his sister the rules. It seems that Xingyu can't teach his sister the rules."
Xingyu had a sullen face, with helplessness written all over her face.
"It's okay. Children should be innocent and follow the rules... It's never too late to learn, not to mention not all rules must be followed."
The Queen Mother rubbed Xingyu's head. The child Xingyu was so well-behaved that it made her feel distressed.
Shen Yunhe also looked at Xingyu with a distressed expression. She opened her arms and said to Xingyu:
"Come from Xingyu."
Xingyu looked at the Queen Mother and saw that she had no objection, then rushed into Shen Yunhe's arms.
"Mom! You smell so good."
Xingyu sniffed, no wonder his father always likes to take time out of his busy schedule to spend time with his mother.
Shen Yunhe paused, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore. It was all her fault that she thought she had only one child, Yaoyao, and made Xingyu live without a mother for so many years.
"Okay, mother, I will give Xingyu more hugs from now on."
Shen Yunhe said softly, and she patted Xingyu's back gently, as if coaxing a baby.
A smile appeared on Xingyu's face, her mother was so kind to her!
"Queen."
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen, with a hint of probing deep in her eyes:
"How are you preparing for the wedding?"
The queen was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the queen mother would ask about the wedding. She quickly stood up and replied:
"Yesterday I went out of the palace and bought a lot of things. Others are still being prepared. The emperor just gave me a booklet, but many of the things in the book are from the treasury...
I don’t really want to take anything from the treasury.”
The Queen Mother laughed directly after hearing what the Queen said:
"You! You just live too carefully!
Whether it’s from the national treasury or not, if you can get it, it’s good!
If you don’t think about yourself, you should think about Junhe, right?
If you can turn the things in the treasury into your own, then why not?
Why don’t you want what a man gives you?
If you don’t want it, someone else will!
The Ai family thought that if that person was Concubine Hua, she would wish to empty out the treasury!
You don't need much money to support yourself in the harem, but Junhe is different outside.
I don’t know how much you can understand Ai Jia’s words.
But the point is, everything is for Junhe’s sake!”
The Queen Mother's words were a bit avant-garde, and she didn't know how understandable they would be to the Queen.
The Queen Mother knew the Queen's character, and she was unwilling to take most of the things given by the Emperor.
"Queen Mother..."
There was gradually mist rising in the Queen's eyes, and these words could be said to be heartbreaking.
She never thought that the Queen Mother would say these words to her.
She had no one she knew well in the entire harem, so naturally no one would say such things to her.
No one has ever taught her that she can take things given by men as a matter of course, not to mention that man is still the emperor!
"Okay...I've written it down."
The emotions in the Queen's heart fluctuated greatly!
However, she finally nodded.
She thought of the Queen Mother's words, even if it wasn't for her, it should be for Jun He!
Yes, Junhe has done so many things for Northern Xinjiang over the years, so what if he gets some rewards?
"Originally, I was afraid that if I took those rewards, I would be told the truth and people would gossip about me. Now I have figured it out. Why should I care about their opinions? It's good if I can help Jun He."
Tears fell from the corners of the queen's eyes as she spoke.
Shen Yunhe looked at the queen with very complicated emotions, and she suddenly understood the queen a little bit.
The Queen is cautious, probably for Jun He...
"There is no room for crying on a big day, let alone in front of the bride!"
