After the fall of the country, the crown princess was spoiled by the new emperor

Chapter 74 The Empress Dowager

"I want to ask to see my mother." The more Shen Huaijiao thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she leaned over her desk and started crying.

This cry, when she packed up and went to Changxin Palace, it was already two hours too late.

As soon as the sedan chair stopped, Jiang Ronghe's sedan chair arrived. As soon as the two met each other, Nanny Song panicked and quickly glanced at Shen Huaijiao.

Although I applied ice to my eyes, I could still see the redness and swelling.

"Is my sister not sleeping well?" Jiang Ronghe greeted enthusiastically.

Early this morning, Wang Chun came over to deliver a message, saying that although the emperor had spent the night in the Xuanming Hall, he just stared blankly at a few approved notebooks all night, without even touching Shen Jieyi's fingers. , let her not worry too much.

Although she was very annoyed at his behavior of arguing herself so early in the morning, she was even more curious about Shen Huaijiao's reaction. She listened to the Queen Mother very much and persuaded Wen Xiao to be in the rain and dew.

Just looking at Shen Huaijiao's appearance, she cried for at least two hours, tsk tsk tsk~
Shen Huaijiao didn't want to talk to her at all, but when she thought of Wen Xiao's warning, she could only twitch her lips perfunctorily: "Thank you sister for your concern, it's okay."

They went in together, Shantong was already waiting in front of the door, she was not surprised by Jiang Ronghe's late arrival, and smiled when she saw that Shen Huaijiao was not in good spirits.

"The queen mother has been waiting for the empress for a long time, and Mrs. Qiu is also here."

Madam Qiu, Wen Xiao's aunt, and the empress dowager's natal sister-in-law.

"Yeah." Shen Huaijiao cheered up, and Jiang Ronghe also became more careful.

After entering the palace, apart from the queen mother, there was really a dignified and majestic woman, sitting in a purple dress, her shrewd eyes swept over the two of them very quickly, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

After saluting, the Empress Dowager took Shen Huaijiao's hand with a happy face: "I'm tired from serving the bed, I should rest more."

Shen Huaijiao's face changed slightly, her lips moved, and she hesitated to speak.

"The empress dowager is confused. The emperor is still in the period of filial piety, so he must know how to measure." Mrs. Qiu next to her took the initiative to relieve Shen Huaijiao's embarrassment.

Jiang Ronghe couldn't help admiring him, he could guess all of this, it's amazing.

The queen mother also understood the meaning, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed: "The emperor is too willful."

As she said that, she gave Jiang Ronghe a hard look.

"Jiehua." Madam Chou looked over with a smile: "It's hard work serving the emperor on weekdays."

She was so polite, Jiang Ronghe was flattered: "Serving the emperor is the duty of a concubine, it's not hard work."

"Of course you don't work hard." The queen mother was angry, but she didn't finish her sentence.

Mrs. Qiu continued: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the peace of the harem can be at ease. Jiehua is always by his side, and it is even more important to share the emperor's worries. This aunt should not talk too much, but it is inevitable that she is worried, so I can only ask the empress. "

"Yes." This was said too politely, and he didn't know whether he really cared about reminding her or hitting her.

Madam Chou nodded, and looked at Shen Huaijiao: "Jieyi doesn't have to worry too much, everything depends on chance."

"Yeah." Shen Huaijiao responded lukewarmly.

Please don't listen to the Queen Mother today, it will be over soon, and Wen Xiao hadn't come down yet when they left.

"See?" The queen mother was full of complaints: "That Jiang family is spoiled and spoiled, and the Ai family will be angry when they see it."

Mrs. Qiu shook her head: "The Queen Mother must have been mistaken. My wife is watching. Mrs. Jiang is not as bad as the rumors say, she is honest and responsible. Mrs. Shen has a lot of eyes, and she is afraid that there will be too many things."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Ms. Shen was born in a scholarly family, and her grandfather was a former imperial tutor. With such a family background, the girls who are taught to be polite and sensible are not better than the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Jiang?"
