My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 40
Xiao Chen ignored Su Wanwan, but took a bitter look at Lin Shuran who was standing beside Xu Junze. There was no jealousy in her eyes, her expression was as usual, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xu Junze didn't pay much attention to Xiao Chen and Su Wanwan, but said to Lin Shuran: "Let's go!"

Lin Shuran nodded, whether it was Xiao Chen's gaze at her or Su Wanwan's hostility towards her, both made her a little uncomfortable. This might be the situation that Lin Shuran's body had to be endured.

After separating from Xiao Chen and Su Wanwan for a long distance, Xu Junze stared straight ahead, Lin Shuran followed his footsteps, and suddenly heard him say: "Do you regret not marrying Xiao Chen?"

"Huh?" Lin Shuran looked up at him blankly, but saw that his face was serious, and she was about to open her mouth to answer, but she heard him say in a leisurely manner, "It's too late to regret, you are already my wife!"

Xu Junze's words sounded as if she wanted Hongxing to get out of bed, telling her to abide by women's morals.Obviously, she didn't do anything, and she didn't have any private thoughts about Xiao Chen, but it is estimated that no one would believe her explanation, so let others think whatever she wants, she is not afraid of being crooked when she is upright.

When she arrived at Renshou Palace, Lin Shuran didn't dare to look around. After all, this was the first time she formally entered the palace to meet the most noble woman of the Jin Dynasty. The hall was very warm and there were not many eunuchs. People who like quietness.

"General, madam, please enter the inner hall, the empress dowager is waiting for you in the inner hall!" The nun in charge of the empress dowager personally led Xu Junze and Lin Shuran into the inner hall. Normally, only the closest relatives of the empress dowager would be banned It is allowed to enter the inner hall of the empress dowager. Generally, the empress dowager summons courtiers and courtiers' wives in the outer hall.

Sure enough, it was true that the Queen Mother did not regard Xu Junze as an outsider. Lin Shuran followed Xu Junze into the inner hall with some trepidation. It seemed that he was familiar with the way, presumably he was the same when he met the Queen Mother before.

When they arrived at the inner hall, the Empress Dowager was lying leisurely on her side on the soft bed. When she saw the two people coming in, she immediately had a smile on her face, and beckoned to them kindly: "Come closer and let the Ai family take a look, Brother Ze is here! It's been a while since I've gotten thinner, and your new daughter-in-law isn't fat, is it because you gave your salary to others and made your own daughter-in-law suffer?!"

The empress dowager's tone sounded reprimanding, but it shocked Lin Shuran. The current empress dowager was not only ignorant of Xu Junze, she seemed to treat Xu Junze as her own son, without dignity at all, just like a An old lady from an ordinary family is talking to her child.

Helplessness flashed across Xu Junze's eyes, every time he met the Empress Dowager, he always made fun of him, but he didn't forget the manners of a courtier, and replied respectfully: "Please trouble the Empress Dowager, everything is well!"

"You, you are used to being used by the emperor. Could it be that no one in the court is pointing at you, a newly married person, to suppress the bandits!" The queen mother seemed to have a lot of resentment towards her own son who was the emperor, and then rolled her eyes. Turning to look at Lin Shuran who kept her head down all the time, she carefully looked left and right, "You are the youngest daughter of Taifu Lin's family, hurry up, raise your head and let Ai's family take a look!"

Lin Shuran raised her head slightly, and saw a graceful old lady with a loving face looking at her curiously. Although she had already bowed with Xu Junze just now, she still formally bowed again: "Mr. Fu Lin Shuran pays homage to the Empress Dowager, wishing the Empress Dowager a long and healthy life."

"Look at how beautiful this little face is, just like your sister Concubine Yun. The Ai family fell in love with it at first sight. This time the emperor finally did something to satisfy the Ai family. Show it to Brother Ze, the daughter-in-law you married. Looks really good, come, come to Ai's house!" The queen mother waved to Lin Shuran again, Lin Shuran was a little flattered, looked up at Xu Junze, Xu Junze gave her a slight nod, and she moved in front of the queen mother.

The Queen Mother naturally saw the small movements of their interaction, she smiled slightly, and her eyes were even more satisfied, so she grabbed Lin Shuran's hand who came closer, patted the back of her hand lightly and said with a smile: "From now on, the Ai family will He is your backer, if brother Ze bullies you, you can just come to Aijia to sue him, Aijia will definitely punish him!"

Facing the Queen Mother's natural approach, Lin Shuran was stunned at first, but she didn't show resistance, she was just a little nervous, and after she quickly calmed down, she just smiled shyly.

Then, I heard the Queen Mother say again: "Next year today, the Ai family will drink the full moon wine from your two biological sons. If you can't complete this task, the Ai family will punish you together!"

Lin Shuran's smile froze on her face. In modern times, she was often urged to marry, and in ancient times, she was forced to have a child, and it was still a "hard indicator". She was pregnant for ten months, and the queen mother would drink their full moon wine next year. How could she Didn't she want to conceive Xu Junze's child within a month? !

"Empress Dowager—" Xu Junze was about to open his mouth, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager's eyes. It was obvious that the Empress Dowager knew what he was going to say next, and it was nothing more than saying that there was no rush to have a baby.

"You go to the emperor's place, and come back to pick up your new wife later, we two have a heart-to-heart talk!" The queen mother drove Xu Junze away with a word, Xu Junze gave Lin Shuran a meaningful look before leaving, as if It was because she was worried that she would be alone with the Queen Mother.

"Aijia chased you away!" The queen mother pretended to be angry, so Xu Junze could only leave the inner hall. The queen mother is the person he respects and is closest to besides the master, so he can always listen to her words and never provoke her. She is angry.

When only the queen mother and Lin Shuran were left, the queen mother asked Lin Shuran to sit down on the chair beside her, and she didn't change her expression because of Xu Junze's departure, she was still gentle and loving.

The Empress Dowager first asked how Lin Shuran was doing when she married into the Xu family, and whether the stepson of the Xu family made things difficult for her. Then she talked about the pomegranate tree of the old censor's family, and asked whether Lin Shuran really saved the pomegranate tree. alive.

Lin Shuran answered one by one, chatting, as if she had forgotten that the person she was chatting with was the emperor's mother, the current empress dowager, and she forgot her nervousness for a moment, and started talking and laughing.

When Concubine Yun and her daughter, Princess Jiangyue, were ushered in by the nanny in charge, she saw her little sister sitting affectionately beside the queen mother, talking happily. The queen mother had a happy smile on her face when she heard them. Come in and stop.

"Grandmother!" The four-year-old Princess Jiangyue, who was smart and cute, was bouncing up to the queen mother in a pink jacket.

Lin Shuran first glanced at the pink and tender female doll, and then raised her eyes to look forward. A beautiful woman in a palace costume hired Tingting to come. At this moment, a vague figure flashed in her mind. She seemed a little uncomfortable Said with certainty: "Sister?"
