After being reborn, he crossed with His Majesty

Chapter 16 Steps
"Greetings to my aunt." After receiving the news, Shen Chongyuan packed up quickly and came to Fushou Palace from Changxin Palace.

"Get up quickly and come to Ai's house." Seeing her niece, the queen mother smiled, this is her own child, she grew up watching it, and she is happy to see it.

Shen Chongyuan responded, got up and came to the queen mother, who stretched out her hand to hold her, let her sit beside her, and looked at her with a smile.

"The clothes are pretty, but they are a little more plain. Go and get the ruby ​​hairdress from Ai's house."

Turning her head to give instructions, not long after, the nanny took out a set of jewelry from the inside, and the Queen Mother helped Shen Chongyuan put it on by herself.

"Look at it?" She looked at it herself, and she was satisfied, so she turned to ask the nurse beside her.

"Chongyuan is already a pretty girl, but with your dressing up like this, Empress Jing, she is even more beautiful." With a wave of her hand, a palace servant immediately stepped forward holding a mirror, so that Shen Chongyuan could see her current appearance.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Shen Chongyuan's face.

"Thank you, aunt." In fact, Shen Chongyuan didn't like it. She thought that with her appearance, she would look better if she dressed plainly.

But in this harem, her biggest reliance is the queen mother, and she must do what she wants to please.

Therefore, even if she doesn't like it, she has to pretend to like it.

The Queen Mother smiled and patted her hand.

In the evening, Xie Zhao came to Fushou Palace and met the Queen Mother and Shen Chongyuan.

She was not surprised that Shen Chongyuan was here, after all, she was the Empress Dowager's niece, and she was also favored by the Empress Dowager.

If it hadn't been for the marriage granted by the former emperor back then, which disturbed the queen mother's plan, the person who married Zhao Jing would definitely be this Shen family.

"My son, please greet the queen mother." She saluted the queen mother, and Shen Chongyuan, who was standing beside the queen mother, quickly saluted her.

"You are busy with court affairs, what are you doing with so many salutes? Come and sit next to the queen mother." In the eyes of the queen mother, the person who salutes to her is her most beloved son.

Similarly, in Shen Chongyuan's eyes, the person who is saluting to the queen mother is the person she admires.

Xie Zhaoyiyan sat next to the queen mother, and the queen mother winked at Shen Chongyuan and motioned her to sit next to her majesty over there.

Shen Chongyuan got the signal, walked over to Xie Zhao shyly, and sat down next to her.

There was a faint fragrance on her body, which was much better than Li Jieyu's. Xie Zhao liked it, so he turned to look at Shen Chongyuan.

In the previous life, I had a lot of dealings, although this Shen Chongyuan is the niece of the Empress Dowager, but she doesn't have two faces like the Empress Dowager.

In Xie Zhao's impression, her dress has always been plain, like today, which is quite rare, not to mention, she looks better than she did before.

"Why does Your Majesty look at concubines like this?" Shen Chongyuan lowered her head shyly, noticing the gazes beside her. The Empress Dowager looked at the two of them with a satisfied smile on her face.

Turning her head and winking at Nanny, Nanny understood and withdrew from the hall, ordering the palace servants to pass on the meals.

"Speaking of which, our mother and son haven't eaten together for some days. Today is a rare day, so Ai's family called Xiner. After dinner, you send Xiner back to Changxin Palace."

The Xin'er that the queen mother spoke of was naturally Shen Chongyuan, and Xie Zhao couldn't help laughing as she sat beside her.

If I remember correctly, on the second day after the wedding, the empress came to pay her respects to the empress dowager, and once had a meal with her, but in the eyes of the empress dowager, with the empress present, it was not a mother and son dining together at that time.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xie Zhao's lips. She actually didn't care about the Queen Mother's attitude towards her, she just thought it was funny.

If the queen mother knew that the person she was facing was actually the queen she hated, how would she feel?

Thinking about it, Xie Zhao would never really reveal it, and Shen Chongyuan, who was sitting beside her, saw the smile on Xie Zhao's lips, and her heart beat faster.

It was rare to see His Majesty smiling like this.

The nanny led the servants to bring up the dinner. As she said, it was all the favorite dishes of the juniors. Besides, there were a few extra nourishing dishes. Don't even think about it, it must be prepared for the son. .

Now that Xie Zhao has become Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing loves food, so she also loves to eat it. However, the queen mother's kindness is hard to resist, and she has ordered people to put nourishing food in her bowl many times. Nor is it.

She came to Fushou Palace not only to have dinner with the Queen Mother, but also to have a talk with the Queen Mother.

But now that Shen Chongyuan is here, some things are not convenient to say, so Xie Zhao didn't speak at the dinner table.

After dinner, the Queen Mother once again asked her to send Shen Chongyuan back. Shen Chongyuan was full of anticipation, and Xie Zhao ordered Jiang Hai to send Shen Chongyuan back outside the hall.

Suddenly, Shen Chongyuan's face turned pale.

"I will accompany you some other day. Today I have something to discuss with my mother." Seeing Shen Chongyuan's expression, Xie Zhao said to her in a warm voice.

Shen Chongyuan was taken aback, but she didn't expect His Majesty to explain to herself, but soon she returned to normal, got up and saluted Xie Zhao, "That concubine is always ready, waiting for His Majesty to come."

Xie Zhao nodded, Shen Chongyuan saluted the Queen Mother again, and left with Jiang Hai.

The reason why the queen mother asked people to prepare a lot of nourishing food was to let her son eat it and send her niece back.

This is the young age, the niece is not bad in appearance and good in figure, even if the emperor and empress live together, it will not delay anything.

But she never thought that her son sent her niece away and wanted to stay and talk to her. After thinking about it, she probably guessed what she wanted to say, so her face darkened.

But soon, her face returned to normal, and she was as kind as usual.

The gloom at that moment was noticed by Xie Zhao.

"My son heard that the steward who was dismissed by the queen yesterday turned around and went to another place to take up the steward again. As a result, the queen bumped into him today."

The Empress Dowager knew about this, if she hadn't nodded, how could this matter have happened, her eyes flashed a little unnaturally, and she didn't speak.

"Mother, you know that the queen is the daughter of the Xie family. This Xie family has been in the court since the Taizu, and is a minister of the court. Presumably, the father chose the daughter of the Xie family back then because of Xie's family. For the sake of a family full of loyal ministers and good generals."

"In the past, with the empress mother, the affairs of the harem were always safe and there was no need for the children to worry about it. But now, with the lord of the middle palace, it is inevitable to take over the harem. But after all, the empress is young, and it is inevitable for the empress mother to be worried."

"But the queen is a queen after all, and the queen mother should teach her, but the people below do things without telling the queen mother, and they don't pay attention to the queen at all. If it spreads out, I'm afraid people will think it's the queen mother deliberately embarrassing her."

In a few words, Xie Zhao described the empress dowager's deliberate embarrassment to the empress, saying that the subordinates did things without telling the empress dowager.

In this way, it can be regarded as setting up steps for the queen mother so that she can walk down.

"In the next few days, the queen's second brother will go to the border to quell the tribal affairs, and the queen's mother and sister-in-law will also visit the palace..."
