"Good! You are such a person who accepts the differences between others and yourself." The Queen smiled and praised, "I know that I have not misjudged the person. You, like your eldest father, always see things so thoroughly."

When Qiu and Meng heard the Queen's high praise, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then at the same time said to Shen Yingxia, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for your advice."

It was getting late, so the female officer collected the embroidery work done by the female masters of each family one by one and dispersed them one by one.

Shen Yingxia ranked last. The Queen Mother made a request to stay. Since the other girls had not gone far, she used an excuse: "Ms. Shen, why don't you stay and help me take a good look at the chrysanthemums I have embroidered."

"Here." Shen Yingxia felt blessed.

After everyone had dispersed, the Queen took them indoors and evacuated the palace guests.

"Nie Fengchang's daughter didn't come today. Did you notice that?"

"Yes. Before entering the palace, I heard that Mrs. Nie suddenly contracted a cold. As the only unmarried granddaughter, Mrs. Nie naturally has to serve her."

Shen Yingxia replied.

The Empress smiled: "You are quite clever. This is indeed the excuse the Nie family used. It was said that Nie Zhinan was eating fast in the ancestral hall and praying for the old lady.

"We have great filial piety. Such an excuse really makes us unable to say anything."

Shen Yingxia had already made a guess in her mind, so she was not surprised. Nie Fengchang supported Sima Yi more firmly than Lin Shaofu.

Because without intervention, Sima Yi would indeed be the one in charge. From this point of view, Nie Fengchang is indeed very skilled in astrological divination.

His move might please Sima Yi and let Sima Yi know his loyalty.

General Zhao has military power, Shaofu Lin is in charge of money, and Nie Fengchang is the only one in charge of public opinion. That is, after taking the throne, he declared that the monarch was the chosen one. In comparison, he is not that important. At least during the uprising stage, in Sima Yi's eyes, he was far less important than the others.

This should be the reason why he is anxious to show his loyalty through such stupid means.

The Empress did not sit high up today, but sat next to Shen Yingxia, her tone hesitant.

"Previously, I sent someone to tell you that I chopped off Zhao Yuening's arm. Last night, Zhao Yuening also used another of her maids."

Shen Yingxia tilted her head and asked, "Is that why your Majesty specially summoned me today to discuss embroidery work?"

"Yes." The Queen spoke slowly, but every word held great weight.

Last night, the emperor turned over Zhao Yuening's sign. Zhao Yuening said that she felt a little unwell, and then sent her maid to the dragon bed.

Originally, if this happened suddenly, the emperor would be furious. But the aphrodisiac incense was lit in the palace, and the maid was really beautiful and lovely.

Therefore, the emperor did not refuse. Zhao Yuening thought he had secured the news. But how could a secret be hidden in this palace?

Besides, the queen has awakened and wants to protect her children! She has already arranged reliable personnel throughout the palace.

Shen Yingxia was stunned when she heard this: "This thing is really ridiculous!"

"That's right. It's not uncommon for a maid to be favored, but it's not as dirty as hers. The emperor's health has just improved, I'm afraid..." The queen's eyebrows were full of worry.

From the time she married the emperor, who was still the prince at the time, the queen knew that she would not be able to enjoy her husband's favor forever. They had a happy and sweet time, and that was enough for her.
