Empress, she wins by eating melons and laying down in the harem

Chapter 502 Changing the Clan System
East Palace.

The prince came back from outside.

Walk quickly to the house.

Entering the door, he thought he would see a familiar smiling face, but he searched around, but did not see a woman.

Turning around, she turned to Huang Momo who was coming and asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Princess has gone to the Palace of Compassion."

The prince thought, what are you doing in the Compassion Palace at this time?
For the Queen Mother, the Prince was relieved, thinking of the maid and the Queen, he quickly walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

The prince walked very quickly, and those who didn't know thought something important had happened.

The maids and eunuchs I met, seeing this scene, knelt on the ground in fright, and waited for a long time for the prince to walk by, but they didn't dare to get up.

What the prince didn't expect was that he was worried about what the queen would do, and when he came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he heard the woman's laughter.

The prince slowed down and adjusted his mentality. The moment he entered the room, the maid and eunuch knelt on the ground and saluted.

"The servant sees His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Slaves see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing the prince coming, Liu Qiqi got up and walked over with a smile on her face, "You're back!"

The prince nodded with a smile, and saluted the queen mother, "Grandson pays respects to the emperor's grandmother."

"The prince has been away for a few days, and when he came back, he saw the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's grandmother is so happy."

The queen smiled.

The prince was thick-skinned and pretended not to hear the implication of these words.

Concubine Shu walked over with the newly made hibiscus cake, saw the prince, and the maid beside her saluted, "My maidservant, please see His Royal Highness the Prince."

This sound successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Concubine Shu smiled and stepped forward carrying the hibiscus cake, "The prince is back!"

The prince looked at the empress dowager, empress, and concubine Shu who were present. He was busy investigating the matter for the past two days, wondering what happened in the palace?
How do you feel the atmosphere is good?

The queen and concubine Shu seemed calm on the surface, but in fact they had fought countless times, and they could still sit quietly at the same table and eat.

"Quickly, put another set of bowls and chopsticks!" The queen mother said.

Nanny Luo moved quickly, adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

This pair of bowls and chopsticks seemed to be for the crown prince, but also for concubine Shu.

The prince deliberately sat next to Liu Qiqi, which happened to be the bowl and chopsticks that were being served.

Concubine Shu sat on the extra seat.

After everyone was seated, the queen mother said, "It's rare to get together for dinner, and I won't return today if I don't get drunk!"

"Auntie, you should not drink alcohol!" the queen reminded.

"I'm happy today, it's okay to drink less!" said the Queen Mother.

When the queen saw that the queen mother was talking about this, she couldn't say anything. She glanced at Liu Qiqi, and Liu Qiqi understood, so she took the initiative to pour wine for the queen mother.

Everyone's pours were [-]% full, but Liu Qiqi was only a little bit full.

The queen mother was unhappy when she saw it, and said, "Qiqi, there are too few!"

"The imperial grandmother said just now, drink less." Liu Qiqi said.

The queen mother was unhappy, and looked at the prince, "Prince, what do you think?"

"Drinking alcohol in moderation is good for your health!" The prince directly took the flagon from Liu Qiqi's hand and poured wine for the woman and himself.

This move, properly maintained, also took all the responsibilities on himself.

Concubine Shu saw that she was giggling beside her, but said nothing.

When the Queen Mother saw this, there was still something she didn't understand.

No longer asked to drink more.

The queen mother likes to be lively, and everything else can be put aside.

After a meal, the prince arrived, and the lively atmosphere subsided a bit. What's more, the prince simply dragged Liu Qiqi away after letting Liu Qiqi have a drink.

The queen mother, empress, and concubine Shu saw it, and they were all envious.

Seeing that everyone had left, the queen mother sighed, "Today's young people, seeing each other every day is like three autumns!"

"It's good to be young!" the queen exclaimed.

In the past two days, she tried to let go of her past prejudices. When facing the emperor, she felt much more relaxed. After going back and forth, the relationship between her and the emperor was not so tense.

"It's a good time for you too!" said the Queen Mother.

It seems to be talking about the relationship between the queen and the emperor, and it seems to be talking about the situation of the queen in the future.

"It was my aunt who reminded me!"

"Now that you know, let's have another drink!" The queen mother said and sent the wine glass to the queen.

The queen was speechless.

Don't let the Queen Mother drink too much, I didn't say it myself, it was said by the imperial doctor.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu hurriedly poured wine for the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was happy, and said to Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, what do you want to do on your birthday?" As long as the queen mother has cakes to eat, the rest is not important.

"Sit down with a few people and have a meal!" Just like today, she can also have a table with the queen mother, which was something she never dared to think of.

"Concubine Shu is too sensible!" said the Queen Mother.

Concubine Shu smiled slightly.

"Since it's my birthday, I can't miss the cake, and Aijia will tell Qiqi tomorrow." The Queen Mother finally expressed the most sincere thoughts in her heart.

the other side.

After the prince left, he dragged Liu Qiqi on the way back to the East Palace.

Take the initiative to talk about the investigation in the past few days.

"Xiao Liu's maid was adopted by the people of Huagu and became a killer of Huagu."

"Killer?" Liu Qiqi was a little surprised.

She knew some things about Huagu, and until now she was still stuck in the mystery of Huagu. If it was a killer, Liu Qiqi would not accept it in her heart.

Everything she experienced with Huagu showed this, because she thought things too simply.

"Xiao Liu has been lurking in the palace for ten years. If it wasn't for this incident, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been exposed."

"Where's Ma Yan?"

"She is not the real Ma Yan. The real Ma Yan was killed by someone from Huagu. This person used Ma Yan's identity to enter the palace."

"How many people like Ma Yan are there in the palace?"

When Liu Qiqi asked this question, she obviously felt that the prince's mood suddenly changed, "So far, 22 people have been found in the palace."

"so much?"

The prince sighed.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Keep these people."

Liu Qiqi looked at the prince, and the eye contact let her know the prince's plan.

Taking risks is also the most effective way.

When the two returned to the Eastern Palace, the Eastern Palace had already prepared the meals, and the two sat at the table without continuing the heavy topic just now.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the prince asked, "What happened during the two days I left?"

When Liu Qiqi thought of the changes in the past two days, she found it incredible.

"It seems that the relationship between everyone in the palace is suddenly good."

"Ok?"

"The biggest change is that the queen will take care of the emperor to take medicine every day."

The prince already knew the news, and heard from the woman that there was another change, the queen was plotting something.

"The Queen Mother said that she would hold a birthday banquet for Concubine Shu."

The prince laughed after hearing this.

"What did you think of?"

The prince said, "Concubine Shu's thoughts are obvious. Seeing that the emperor is not in good health, in order to survive, she wants to seek refuge with the queen mother. The queen mother is the queen's aunt. Concubine Shu should have a better attitude towards the queen."

"Your consciousness is saying."

"In order to live, what can't be done!" The prince could see it, the kindness was only superficial, and the purpose was too obvious.

After being reminded by the prince, Liu Qiqi also understood that Concubine Shu's real purpose is to live.

According to the clan system, Concubine Shu should be cultivated after the emperor's death. If she wants to live, she should not be idle.

Can concubine Shu alone change the clan system?
Liu Qiqi maintains a skeptical attitude, and at the same time knows that everything is different from person to person!
