Chapter 1555 Decided to Quit

The two of them left, the Empress Dowager retreated the maids and eunuchs who were serving her, and beckoned Xu Shuhua to come to her side.

Xu Shuhua was unscrupulously criticized by Emperor Guangyuan and the imperial concubine in front of so many servants, and she could hardly bear it any longer. Seeing the empress dowager like this, her eyes became hot, and she knelt down in front of her and threw herself into her arms, choking and saying: "Guess grandmother!"

The Empress Dowager embraced her and patted her on the back, sighed softly: "Did you see it with your own eyes today? In the eyes of the emperor, there is no one else except the imperial concubine! Your outfit today is very suitable for you , showed your appearance, temperament, and demeanor perfectly, but the emperor still didn't take a second look at you! Even if he had intentional elements in it, when he looked at you, there was no interest in his eyes , the Ai family can see clearly! Shuhua, you are a good daughter of the Xu family, why bother to go this way and ruin your life?"

Xu Shuhua was also a jewel in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and her parents cherished her growing up. She was outstanding in everything, and she also had her own self-esteem and pride. When she heard this, she felt a pain in her heart, and her choking turned into a low sob. The more she cried, the more sad she became.

The Empress Dowager knew that she needed time to digest what she had just seen and what she said, so she didn't force her, but just embraced her again, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

The more Xu Shuhua cried, the more sad she became, and the more she cried, the more frustrated she became. After a while, she continued intermittently, and then stopped.

"Auntie, forgive me, I—"

As soon as her emotional agitation passed, she resumed her usual dignified manners, left the arms of the Empress Dowager, wiped away her tears and stood up, bowing her knees to apologize.

The Empress Dowager leaned forward and grabbed her hand, pulled her to sit down beside her, and said with a gentle smile: "We are aunts and nephews of our own relatives, why should we be like this! Shuhua, Aijia is sincere I only said these words for your own good, otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you enter the palace or not, why bother the Ai family?”

"Thank you, Auntie, Shuhua," Xu Shuhua raised her red and swollen eyes, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, Shuhua doesn't understand why the emperor treats Concubine Qing like this—, Concubine Qing, Shuhua doesn't think so. What is so outstanding about her, she deserves to be treated like this by the emperor!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help chuckling, and said: "Then Aijia asks you, who is better, Mrs. Wei Ninghou and Miss Six of Zhu's family in the past?"

Xu Shuhua's heart trembled, Lian Fangzhou, Zhu Yuying, and even the entire Zhu family didn't know the grievances in Beijing?In the end, Zhu Yuying fell into such a situation where she could not return to her family and her reputation was ruined.I don't know how many wives and ladies took her as a negative example.

In all fairness, Mrs. Wei Ninghou is naturally not as good as Zhu Yuying in terms of background, upbringing, and appearance, but Zhu Yuying can't do it even if she wants to be a concubine!

Everyone said that Mrs. Wei Ninghou was fierce and tough, a first-class jealous woman.But how could she be jealous without Wei Ninghou's support?
What does my aunt mean, is that the emperor treats the imperial concubine in the same way Wei Ninghou treats Wei Ninghou's wife?

"Why! Why on earth is this!" Xu Shuhua was confused and murmured, "I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Why, the Ai family doesn't know. Maybe this is the reason why everyone has their own destiny! Shuhua, Zhu Yuying back then, it was not because of reconciliation!"

Xu Shuhua's expression changed drastically, she shook her head and said, "No, it's different... This, this is the emperor after all, not an ordinary person!"

The Empress Dowager smiled wryly, and said: "There were princes and grandsons in the past, and everyone was staring at them. Few of them understand the character of the current emperor! These days, Ai Jiazai thought about it carefully and again. Thinking back, the emperor is different from the former emperor, the former prince, and the former emperor's grandson! Such a thing was absolutely impossible for the former emperor and the former prince, but it is hard to say for the current emperor!"

Although Xu Shuhua still didn't believe it, her heart was shaken.

Although she wants to be a concubine, or even a queen, she will not rush forward without hesitation knowing that there is no hope.No one would be that stupid, Zhu Yuying is still ahead!
The Empress Dowager laughed, and said: "How about this, you don't do anything, just watch first, so as not to lose face and ruin your reputation in the end! Just make up your own mind, Xu family, it's mourning after all. The family's natal family and Ai's family will naturally have some arrangements, the old man and the others can rest assured! If you enter the palace as a decoration, then why bother with you? It's not good to be alone and alone in an empty room!"

Xu Shuhua's heart trembled again, she finally nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "My niece listens to you..."

The Empress Dowager finally felt more relieved, and said softly with a smile: "The Ai family knows that you are a child who understands!"

At dinner time, Emperor Guangyuan arrived as scheduled.

Xu Shuhua changed into ordinary homely clothes, wore an ordinary girl's hair bun, and still calmly served beside the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Guangyuan glanced at her quickly, and thought: It seems that the stimulating effect in the morning is good...

After having dinner with the Empress Dowager and joking a few words, Emperor Guangyuan glanced at Aunt Yan and the others.

The Empress Dowager retreated everyone, including Xu Shuhua, leaving only Aunt Yan by her side, and said with a smile: "Aunt Yan is an old man who has been with Ai's family for decades, so it doesn't matter if the emperor has anything to say!"

"Yes, grandmother."

Emperor Guangyuan responded, stood up suddenly, and knelt down straight to the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty! Get up, what are you doing!" The Empress Dowager was taken aback, she hurriedly got up and went to help Emperor Guangyuan herself, and said angrily and urgently: "You are the Emperor, how can you be so good!"

"Grandmother," Emperor Guangyuan helped the Empress Dowager to sit down, casually sat down under her, and said: "The grandson has something to ask the emperor's grandmother today. It's the right thing to do!"

Seeing his rare seriousness, the Empress Dowager knew about it in her heart, and sighed: "If you have something to say, just say it! The Ai family only has you as a grandson, why don't you love you?"

"Really!" Emperor Guangyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes brightened, and a childish smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "With the words of the emperor's grandmother, the grandson is relieved! The emperor's grandmother, the grandson wants Li Qing'er Empress! Besides, besides Qing'er, my grandson doesn't want any other women in this life, so I ask Grandmother to help her!"

Even though I had expected it, it was still a far cry from hearing it with my own ears.

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Guangyuan and was a little speechless for a while!

She sighed, and said faintly: "Your Majesty, this life is long or short—"

 Today's update is complete, okay?
