In the bedroom;

"My minister Qin Shu (my daughter Cheng Xin) has met the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubine Shu." The two saluted.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Concubine Shu asked the palace maid to take the medicine bowl, and personally approached Xu and helped Cheng Xin.

"Thank you, Empress Shu."

Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the second prince Chu Xiaohan, who is as dignified as Cheng Xin imagined, especially her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as the second prince.

"This is Xin'er. I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye." The Empress Dowager waved to Cheng Xin excitedly from one side.

Cheng Xin quickly stepped forward: "Empress Dowager is in peace."

The queen mother stared at her face in a flash, as if she wanted to see a flower from her face.

Cheng Xin did not dodge and let her look at it generously.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly wet, and she suddenly pulled her hand: "You should follow Shu'er and call Ai's grandmother."

"Cheng Xin dared not." Cheng Xin lowered her head.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Qin in front of him, he can be called a legendary woman.

She was a child picked up by a member of the Qin clan. She died of both her parents since childhood, and her life experience was very bumpy.

Later, he was adopted as his adopted daughter by the old Duke of Qin, the young master's grandfather, and was in the same sympathy as Duke of Anguo. At that time, the Qin family fell into the trap, and only Duke of Anguo stayed in the capital.

After the Empress Dowager Qin and the Hailang were attracted by the Emperor at a palace banquet, they entered the palace.

"You, don't imitate Shu'er. He is a stubborn person. He will only call me the Emperor Grandmother when there is no one. But you are different, you are caring girl, do you want to make the Emperor Grandmother sad?"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's gaze was deeply affectionate, Cheng Xin held her hand tighter and tighter, as if she would not let go if she did not agree.

So Cheng Xin shouted: "Grandmother of the Emperor."

The Queen Mother insists on bringing the relationship closer, so why should she keep people from thousands of miles away?

The queen mother's eyes became extremely loving, and she nodded with satisfaction and emotion: "Okay, good boy. I have been wronged over the years. When your mother figured it out, everything will be fine. It will be fine..."

Cheng Xin was a little confused.

Could it be that the Grand Lady of the Duke’s Mansion has any hidden secrets with her? What does it mean to wait for her mother to figure it out?

On this side, the emperor, whose head and face were covered in the golden curtains, coughed: "It's Xiao Shu. How long has it been since you came to the palace to see me?"

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."

The emperor raised his hand and opened the curtain: "Come on, come close. Let me take a look at you."

"Yes." Qin Shu came forward and stood in front of the bed.

The emperor looked at Qin Shu for a moment, and said indifferently: "Looking at you, I remembered your father's appearance when he was young. You are exactly the same as him.

At that time, when he entered the palace as a companion, I took a fancy to him at first sight. Unfortunately, I was later taken advantage of by the Third Emperor's brother. Cough cough..."

The queen quickly stepped forward and gently stroked the emperor's chest: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, don't think about the past."

"There should not be advised by those who go there." Qin Shu said, and retreated slowly.

But he didn't expect that after hearing this, the emperor started coughing violently. The queen served tea and water, and it took a long time to stabilize.

Finally, the emperor saw Cheng Xin standing on one side, and suddenly his whole body shook and his pupils shrank even more.

Cheng Xin, who had been watching the emperor, was also startled by his reaction.

Has hell? The expression is so scary.

Or is she looking too ugly?

The next moment, the emperor waved to her: "Come on."

Cheng Xin glanced at the young master, saw him nodding slightly, then walked forward and stood in a similar position as before.

"Get closer." The emperor said again.

Cheng Xin approached again.

The emperor waved to her.

Cheng Xin did as he did and leaned over.

While the emperor was looking at her, it was the first time that she had looked at an emperor of the current dynasty at such a close distance.

The emperor is not old, he is only in his forties, which is about the same as Prime Minister Wen.

But he looks very haggard, his eyes are deep and his skin is not in good condition.

Logically speaking, when the emperor is in his prime, he can eat and live well. Even if he can't raise a fat man, he shouldn't be so thin.

Or is it that the affairs in the court are complicated and there are too many memorials, which makes you lose weight?

While he was thinking about it, the emperor closed his eyes and a tear came across the corner of his eyes.

I'll go! The real dragon burst into tears. This scared Cheng Xin to take a step back.

She saw this side of the emperor, wouldn’t she be silenced?

"Emperor." Concubine Shu leaned over and covered the emperor's body. The handkerchief in her hand was placed on the emperor's cheek at the right time.

"Does your head hurt again?" She placed her hands on the emperor's forehead for a gentle moment.

When the emperor was released, the emperor's expression returned to normal, and the tears on his cheeks were wiped away by Concubine Shu.

The emperor said, "What's the name?"

"The single name is "Xin", and the surname is Cheng." said Empress Shufei.

"Xin'er, yes, we talked about what name should the child be named when we were chatting. He said that if there was a son, he would be named "chu" and if it was a daughter, he would be named "Xin". Now that he has both children and has not failed to get the name."

What does not mean to fail?

She looked back at the young master in confusion.

The young master had no expression on his face and didn't know where his eyes were, looking like he was wandering outside the sky.

"Your Majesty, it's rare for two children to come. You might as well let them live in the palace for more days to talk to the Queen Mother." Empress Shu reminded.

"What are you right? What do you think about Shu'er?" The empress dowager looked at Qin Shu expectantly.

Qin Shu came back to his senses: "I am not ashamed of respect."

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, the Ai family will send someone to clean up your residence..."

Cheng Xin didn't expect that he would have to stay for a few more days when he entered the palace this time.

The Empress Dowager searched for the inner officials and explained many things. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager really favored the young master as much as the rumor.

Cheng Xin quietly played the role of a grandpa who should be, and only occasionally answered the queen mother's gossip.

The emperor here became more energetic after taking medicine and said to Qin Shu: "I heard that you have written poems and essays in the mansion over the years, and what masterpieces have you written?"

"I just read a few more idle books, which is not worth mentioning."

"Since that's the case, you might as well do some serious business and come to the North Korea to serve the country."

Qin Shu's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, his voice was cold and he felt a little indifferent that others could not detect: "I know nothing about the affairs of the court, and I am afraid I am unable to match my strength."

As a power center emperor, he was rarely rejected again and again, and said with a slightly dark face: "You boy! Your father had already gone to the military camp when he was so old. But you were pushing against the entry of the court..."

Qin Shu bowed immediately: "I dare not."

The emperor hadn't seen Qin Shu sighed for a long time and said, "You have heard about the prince's affairs. I am busy with the government affairs on weekdays and have neglected him. By the time I reacted, he had already caused such a huge disaster. The situation in the court is turbulent, and I don't know how many corrupt officials related to this matter will be removed.

The court is a time when people are short of people. If you are willing to enter the court, you will definitely be able to share my worries and seek some welfare for the people."
