Grandma Sun looked at the Queen Mother with a shocked face, "Your Majesty, could it be the beauty that the Queen Mother found from somewhere else?" The sedan was well guarded and no one else was allowed to get close, so there was no way to know what was going on inside the sedan.
Who was it? The sedan went all the way into Fengxiang Palace.
"With the Queen's temperament, can she be trusted more than others?" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and then opened the book again, "We will know in two days whether it is Zhou Meijuan. Your Majesty should not be able to hide it.
This beauty’s!”
The next day, a rumor spread in the harem that the Queen had returned to the palace!
It is said that he secretly returned to the palace in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone. Moreover, His Majesty went to Fengxiang Palace in the evening and stayed there.
Many concubines went to Fengxiang Palace to see the Queen because of the news that the Queen had returned to the palace, but they were told that the Queen was still meditating in Cihang Temple.
So the question is, since the Queen has not returned to the palace, who came from Cihang'an to Fengxiang Palace and allowed Your Majesty to stay overnight?
His Majesty heard this rumor when he came to court, and he was extremely upset.
He originally wanted to quietly bring Zhou Meijuan into the palace and arrange for her to live in Fengxiang Palace first. After all, living elsewhere would be too big a goal.
Zhou Meijuan is very similar to the Queen when she was young, and has a similar temperament, but she is much softer than the Queen back then, and she has more ways to seduce people. Your Majesty went to Cihang Temple several times and felt that it was too troublesome, and again in King Chen
Under the instigation of Zhou Meijuan, she came up with the idea of taking Zhou Meijuan back to the palace first.
But he was Zhou Meijuan's uncle after all. The emperor didn't know what to say to the Queen Mother after bringing him back.
So he wanted to just put it off for now!
How could he expect that the news about his arrival in this palace leaked out so quickly... In just one night, all kinds of rumors started to spread!
He sat in the study all afternoon, then felt bored and went to his place of meditation. He felt that he could not recite any sutra, so during dinner in the evening, he went directly to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.
It happened that the Queen Mother was passing the meal, and the Emperor followed her in.
"Queen Mother." After seeing the ceremony, the emperor sat down at the table, "It's been a long time since I had a meal with the Queen Mother. It's a coincidence that we caught up today."
"Did you just catch it by chance, or did you order it specially because you smelled the aroma of my Ci'an Palace food?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
It was originally a joke from the Queen Mother, but the Emperor felt a little restless after hearing it. He raised his eyes and looked at his mother, feeling that there was something else in the smile in her eyes.
He felt so guilty that the emperor couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. He hadn't had such thoughts in front of the Queen Mother for a long time!
Before he took office, he had this feeling of being seen through in front of the Queen Mother!
His Majesty cleared his throat with a little embarrassment, "Mother, my son really misses his mother."
"The Ai family just left the palace once the day before yesterday. They are in Ci'an Palace almost every day. If you want the Ai family, just come directly." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
The Queen Mother is old, so she does not need to send meals from the imperial kitchen. The food on weekdays is cooked in the small kitchen of Ci'an Palace. The people in the small kitchen are all selected by the Queen Mother herself, and the food cooked is all the Queen Mother's taste.
Here, the Queen Mother is exempted from the rules of tasting dishes and eating no more than three meals. It can be said that it is very comfortable to eat in Ci'an Palace. However, because His Majesty was worried, he did not eat at all. As for what he ate, he was afraid
I don’t know either.
The Queen Mother actually ate very happily and was smiling the whole time.
She didn't know why, but she felt very happy when her son was troubled... The Queen Mother was also a little speechless about her feelings.
After the dinner, in which everyone had their own concerns, was finished and the ladies served tea, the emperor was still worried.
"If there are any problems in state affairs, you should go to the ministers to discuss it." The Queen Mother drank tea and said with a smile, "You are sitting here in the Ai family with a sad face. The Ai family can't help you."
After the Queen Mother said this, the emperor finally raised his eyes and said, "Mother, my son recently had a problem and he asked his mother to help him solve it!" After saying this, he bowed his hands to the Queen Mother.
"The Ai family are already old." The Queen Mother pursed her lips slightly, "Your Majesty has been in charge for so many years, is it possible that you still encounter any troubles that cannot be solved?"
The emperor looked at his mother's face and suddenly remembered a saying, troubles are all caused by oneself!
"My son recently took someone into the palace." The emperor took a deep breath and said it, "Originally, I wanted to keep the person in Fengxiang Palace for a while. But I didn't expect that the rumors in the palace came from nowhere.
The son still wants to ask his mother to help solve this problem."
He thought about it, Zhou Meijuan is the niece of the queen, if he insists on bringing Zhou Meijuan into the harem, it is not impossible, but the Zhou family will be driven crazy by Yan Guan! Because Yan Guan does not dare to admonish him, he can only hold on to the Zhou family
Making a fuss!
Not long after he reconciled with the queen, he got a beautiful girl like Zhou Meijuan. How could he be willing to let the Zhou family suffer like this? Besides, this kind of thing is easy to talk about but not easy to hear. In the future, the reputation of the queen and Zhou Meijuan will not be able to see anyone!
But it would be different if this matter happened through the Queen Mother.
"The Ai family heard about it." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "It is a good thing that the emperor has someone he likes, but it is inappropriate to put the person in Fengxiang Palace. After all, the queen lives in Fengxiang Palace. Now the queen has gone to Cihang
Recuperate in the nunnery, Fengxiang Palace is not something anyone can just enter upon request! The rules still cannot be broken!"
She was the one who spread the news. If she hadn't done this, His Majesty would have kept Zhou Meijuan hidden for who knows how long!
At first, even the Queen Mother was a little unsure that the person in the sedan was Zhou Meijuan, but after learning that His Majesty hid the person in Fengxiang Palace, she confirmed her suspicion.
Who is the Queen? If she were not her own niece, how could she be willing to let people enter Fengxiang Palace? Your Majesty is not stupid, and you don't have to make yourself uncomfortable.
The Queen Mother let the news spread all over the world to force His Majesty to come to her and come forward.
The emperor's face was filled with embarrassment. He only thought he was the Queen Mother and didn't know who he was bringing back...
This is really not easy to say, it’s really embarrassing!
"Yes, the Queen Mother is right." The emperor nodded, and then looked at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, this person's identity is a bit special."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother pretended not to know and was surprised, "Could it be that the person the Emperor mentioned is a prisoner in prison?"
"How could this son come into contact with a female prisoner!" The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Mother clearly knows that the person her son brought back is also known to her!"
"If the Ai family knows her, then there will be nothing difficult. She must be the daughter of a nobleman of the palace and a high official." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
