Chapter 47
Seeing the imperial concubine walking towards this side twistingly, the empress dowager's face became obviously ugly. She looked at the emperor beside her and said coldly: "Didn't the Ai family tell the imperial concubine to think about her mistakes behind closed doors? Who let her go?" from?"

The empress injured her body when she gave birth to the first prince, and she passed away when Shen Mengqi was in her teens. After that, the emperor never set up an empress again. Now, the only one who can get a concubine out of this harem is the empress except the empress dowager.

"The queen mother saved Ya'er's life after all, and this son owes her kindness."

"Because of this kindness, you promoted her from a lowly status to the position of noble concubine, and you are closer to the third prince who can only play with birds than the crown prince. That's why she despised Meng Qi so much, and dared to reach out to the regent's mansion He and Ai's darling have robbed the man!"

The empress dowager snorted coldly, she looked at the embarrassing emperor and said, "Now Aijia is just punishing the noble concubine, and the emperor is about to intervene, do you think Aijia is getting old and can't tell right from wrong, or is it that the concubine's behavior Did you do all this at your will?"

The emperor turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty has been wronged, I have absolutely no intention of doing so, Meng Qi is your granddaughter, but your nephew, we are flesh and blood relatives, what can I do?" Maybe she will help outsiders to deal with her own family. It’s just that Huanyi cried to me for a long time, and I really couldn’t bear to release her restraint.”

Just looking at Shen Mengqi from the emperor's face, she knew that apart from crying, this noble concubine had to mention the fact that she had died in order to save the former empress's entire family.

The empress dowager was so angry that she just wanted to continue to reprimand but was held back by Shen Mengqi. Following Shen Mengqi's eyes, the imperial concubine seemed to have come to her.

The empress dowager immediately fell silent, no matter how much she and the emperor quarreled, it was a family matter, and the imperial concubine couldn't have fun.

"The concubine sees the Queen Mother, Your Majesty."

"The noble concubine is a good means. It has only been two days since Ai's family ordered you to ground your feet, and you have pestered the emperor to release you."

The imperial concubine stood up on her own, her voice was so loud that it could kill mosquitoes, and the people who heard it felt a little uncomfortable, "It is true that the empress dowager did not behave properly, and the concubine already knew that she was wrong, please forgive me, the empress dowager." sin."

Said that the imperial concubine was about to reach out to hold the empress dowager, but the empress dowager took a step back and avoided it.The imperial concubine's hand stopped in mid-air in embarrassment, and her face became a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the emperor stepped forward and said: "If the imperial concubine has nothing to do, please step back first, the queen mother and I are going to have dinner."

"The concubine hasn't eaten yet, why don't you let the concubine serve the emperor and queen mother for dinner."

The empress dowager frowned, "This is a family feast."

Inside and outside the words, the empress dowager was rejecting the imperial concubine, but she still looked ignorant when she gave birth to the imperial concubine, "The concubine knows, the concubine is also a member of the royal family."

When the empress dowager was about to say something more, she was held back by Shen Mengqi. She looked at the imperial concubine and said, "Then let's go together."

"My dear, it's you today"

Shen Mengqi smiled knowingly at the empress dowager, "The emperor's grandmother is fine."

This made the empress dowager feel distressed for her for a while, saying that Shen Mengqi was the princess she and the emperor raised in the heart, but only she and the emperor knew how much Shen Mengqi had endured for them and for the royal family, and accepted it again. How much grievance.

The imperial dining room served the dishes quickly, but neither the emperor nor the queen mother had much appetite after each delicious dish, so it was Shen Mengqi who asked them to eat a few more mouthfuls.

After the meal, the noble concubine looked at Shen Mengqi with a smile while the maids and eunuchs were packing up the meals, and said, "Your Highness, my Xiu'er didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

"The imperial concubine trained Miss Xiu'er very well, and she didn't cause trouble for this princess."

"Then I can rest assured."

The noble concubine picked up a cup of tea beside her and covered her face, "I heard that because Her Highness is busy with court affairs, the affairs of the backyard are left to Cheng Tongfang and Wang Tongfang?"

The empress dowager snorted coldly: "Your news is really well-informed."

"Isn't Xiu'er here? The concubine should pay more attention."

The noble concubine said to Shen Mengqi again: "Why don't you let Xiu'er help you take care of the affairs of the mansion? She is a person from the royal family just like you, and her heart is always for you, isn't she better than those two outsiders? "

This is a bit presumptuous to say, this is to meddle in other people's family affairs.The emperor looked at the noble concubine with a frown, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Mengqi put the teacup aside and said in a cold voice.

"The imperial concubine is joking. There is an old saying that a married girl pours water, no matter whose family the girl is, she is a member of the palace when she arrives at the palace. Cheng Xingchen was the first to enter the palace, so she should be in charge of the palace. Yan Zhi, as the daughter of the Minister of Justice, should know the rules the most, and she will help the princess to feel at ease."

Hearing Shen Mengqi's allusion to her family background, the noble concubine's face was completely lost.

She said with a dry smile: "Hehe, it seems that Her Highness the Princess knows well, so I will stop talking too much. There are still some matters to be dealt with in the concubine's palace, so I will leave first."

"The annoying person is gone, and our grandparents and grandchildren's time has been wasted a lot. My dear, you can stay in the Compassionate Peace Palace today, and accompany this old lady of Ai's family."

"But."

Seeing the empress dowager's pitiful appearance, Shen Mengqi finally failed to say the words of rejection, instead she held the empress dowager's hand and said, "Okay, Mengqi will stay with the empress dowager."

Imperial City Gate
Lin Jihan had been standing outside the imperial city for half an hour, it was already dark, and only then did he see Ye Wei coming out after the leading eunuch.

Lin Jihan asked, "Where is Madam?"

Ye Wei lowered his head and said falteringly: "The madam is staying in the palace today by the empress dowager, and she won't be coming back."

"Didn't she refuse when the Empress Dowager kept her?"

Hearing Lin Jihan's cold voice, Ye Wei was so frightened that he dared not look him directly in the eyes, "It seems not."

Hearing Ye Wei's answer, Lin Jihan's voice became colder: "Okay, very good, let's go."

Lin Jihan's posture of walking back angrily made one feel anxious, those who didn't know thought he was going to go to the battlefield with a knife.

At night, Lin Jihan was lying alone on the bed in Juxing Pavilion, his eyes widened, and he suffered from insomnia again.I got used to the presence of the warm and fragrant nephrite next to me, but now it's really difficult to sleep when I'm alone again.

Lin Jihan rolled up the quilt into a ball in his arms with some annoyance, and after rolling back and forth on the bed dozens of times, he finally felt a little drowsy.

But before the sleepiness deepened, Ye Wei hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door: "My lord, are you asleep?"

Lin Jihan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Something happened in the inner courtyard, Cheng Tongfang and the old lady couldn't make up their minds and asked you to come over."
