Step on a branch

Chapter 240
For the conflict between Jin Shu'er and Qin Luan, the emperor can only think of "being sour and jealous".

Of course, it was Jin Shu'er's unilateral decision.

With the evil intentions hidden in the Yongning Houfu, the Qin family wanted Lin Fan from the beginning to the end.

Back then, the marriage contract with Zhao Qi was just a stopgap measure.

Thinking of this, the emperor's heart was burning with panic.

The Qin family wanted to annul the marriage, and Jin Shu'er, who took the initiative to reveal her relationship with Zhao Qi, was really a basket of charcoal in the snow.

Even if the charcoal is not high-grade silver silk charcoal, it will be full of smoke when it burns, and Madam Yongninghou was "ashamed" at the banquet that day, maybe it is enough to block the snow.

What's more, the smoke was so bad and the smell was too strong that the Yongning Houfu couldn't stop coughing and blurred his vision.

As a result, he was bluffed by Qin Yin's furious reaction.

At that time, she didn't realize that the Qin family was actually having fun secretly.

The emperor settled down.

The Qin family benefited secretly from Jin Shu'er, but on the surface they had a rift with Duke Anguo's mansion. Logically, even if the Jin family took the initiative, the Qin family would not enter the Jin family's gate again.

Not so necessary.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Yongning Hou has a strong temper.

And Mrs. An Guogong is a very sincere and reasonable person. She has no face to seek out the Qin family because of her family's mistakes.

The only explanation is that Jin Shu'er became fussy.

Moreover, the reason for her fuss made Mrs. An Guogong only follow her wishes, and Mrs. Yongning Hou could not refuse.

She must have a Shangfang Sword.

Jealousy can't be a sword, it's just the poison quenched on the sword.

The one who can be that sword is the child in the womb.

Forcibly calling Qin Luan to the Duke's mansion, it is impossible for her to give orders to the unborn child.

In all likelihood, Jin Shu'er wanted to torment Qin Luan.

This kind of trick also exists in the harem, and it changes and changes, and it remains the same.

Then, how would Qin Luan react?

After sorting out the general idea, the emperor came up with a plan, stood up, and said to Mr. Xu: "Let's go, go to the Palace of Compassion."

Concubine Shu took a step forward, before Eunuch Xu, and squatted down to help the emperor arrange his clothes.

Although Eunuch Xu's first words were spoken to the emperor by ear, but Concubine Shu was nearby, pricked up her ears, and heard "Miss Qin".

Inferring from the conversation between the emperor and Xu Gonggong later, it can be roughly guessed.

Jin Shu'er returned home to celebrate her birthday, and the Jin family invited Qin Luan over.

Concubine Shu also took into account the way the emperor was thinking, and faintly felt that something was going to happen to this matter.

The emperor wants to use Jin Shu'er to find trouble in Yongninghoufu.

And how to find...

"The emperor is going to the Palace of Compassion." Concubine Shu raised her head, her beautiful eyes were full of smiles, "Your concubine should also go together, and have a chat with the empress dowager in the afternoon."

The emperor looked down at Concubine Shu.

Looking down from a high position, Concubine Shu, who was squatting in front of her, was extremely docile.

The emperor bent down and reached out to support her: "Let's go."

Eunuch Xu withdrew first to make arrangements, and then called someone to inquire about the situation of the second prince and concubine.

That person acted very quickly, and very quickly reported the situation that the Second Prince Concubine had asked the Queen for instructions yesterday and left the palace a day earlier.

Eunuch Xu hurriedly reported it to the emperor again.

The emperor nodded: "Understood."

Yijia arrived at the Palace of Compassion, Concubine Shu followed the emperor into the inner hall and saluted with the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager was still angry because of the previous mother-son quarrel.

However, seeing Concubine Shu obediently accompanying her, her expression was a little uneasy before, and the Empress Dowager's heart softened.

In order to make their mother and child more harmonious, Concubine Shu worked hard.

It was the emperor who spoiled Concubine Shu's intentions in vain before, Concubine Shu must have taken a lot of trouble to persuade the emperor to come over again, then as a mother and elder, she must not put on a sullen face, otherwise, Concubine Shu will be the one who will be hurt and sad.

Not wanting to waste Concubine Shu's heart in vain, the Empress Dowager slightly stretched her brows and said, "Why did you come here together?"

The emperor saw the change in the empress dowager's expression.

He knew that the empress mother was able to be gentle and rainy because of Concubine Shu's face.

He originally wanted Concubine Shu to avoid it, but seeing this situation, he didn't mention it.

He had a request for the Empress Dowager, so of course he couldn't resist it. Besides, with Concubine Shu by her side, the Empress Mother would not say those bad things, even if she did, Concubine Shu would deal with it.

It also saves their mother and son from having an unpleasant quarrel, and his plan cannot be implemented.

"Today is Mrs. An Guogong's birthday." The emperor said.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows.

It's rare that the emperor would remember this.

"According to the etiquette, the empress should have prepared a congratulatory gift and sent it to the empress," the empress dowager asked, "the emperor thinks that the etiquette is too light, so why don't you add some more?"

"That's not true," said the emperor, "The empress is very considerate in her work."

Even if he was dissatisfied with the queen, he had to say that the queen had nothing to criticize about these common affairs.

The empress dowager took a sip of tea, waiting for the emperor to continue.

"I heard that Qi'er's daughter-in-law went back to the mansion yesterday, and she must have lost her temper with Qi'er." The emperor said.

The Empress Dowager's finger pressed on the tea lid.

She said that it would not be a problem for Zhao Qi to "encounter" Qin Luan in the imperial garden!

Zhao Qi's daughter-in-law is not a good-natured girl, so she won't make trouble when she gets the news?
Even if it doesn't make trouble, with a pregnant woman's body, would it be a good thing to be angry for nothing?
The emperor wanted to start with Qin Luan and take control of the Marquis of Yongning, whether he can control it or not, I can't say, but for Zhao Qi's daughter-in-law, it was like a thunderbolt.

No matter how much she dislikes the granddaughter-in-law, she still has her great-grandson in her belly.

Now that you are married, you should let someone give birth to the child properly.

As for the hard work, sensitivity, and anxiety of a woman during pregnancy, can a man in the emperor know nothing and make troubles, can he not avoid conflicts?
Thinking of this, the empress dowager was annoyed.

That's what she said the day before yesterday, and the emperor couldn't listen to it, so he threw his sleeves and left.

Subconsciously, the empress dowager wanted to "repeat the old saying", thinking about concubine Shu, she still held back.

"Although she is about to become a mother," the empress dowager said after taking a breath, "but she is also young and has a quick temper, which is understandable. After all, she is pregnant with a child, and she will be like this during pregnancy."

"Yes," the emperor replied, and said, "I would like to borrow two capable nuns from my mother, go to Anguo Gong's mansion, bring them back, and take care of them before giving birth. He needs someone who can make him more honest."

This sounds like a word.

The Empress Dowager listened to it, and also felt that this man had to come from her Compassionate Palace.

Zhao Qin's temper could be restrained a little in front of the emperor and her grandmother.

People who are close to the emperor have more servants and fewer nuns, but in her Palace of Compassion and Ning, there are more nuns who act properly.

He can take care of Zhao Qi, and also knows some ways of women's pregnancy and childbirth, so he just happens to take care of Jin Shu'er.

The Empress Dowager called Madam Xia and asked her to order two people.

Madam Xia took the order and went.

The emperor said again: "The Qin family..."

The Empress Dowager frowned.

In front of Concubine Shu, why did you mention the Qin family?
The eyes fell on Concubine Shu, and she covered her lips with a handkerchief, eating snacks in a gentle manner, without any reaction, the empress dowager's heart sank.
