Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 359

There is no one in the palace.

These four words caused a thorn in the Empress Dowager's heart.

Over the years, the queen mother has also noticed that Ning Chen doesn't like the daughter of the Chen family, and the title she gave can be seen from the humble character.

Qian Jieyu has no favor and no children, so it is impossible for her to take the back seat.

Even in the next year's draft, the Chen family still doesn't have a girl of the right age, and Ning Chen's intention is obvious that he won't accept another girl from the Chen family.

Therefore, there is no one in the middle palace, and even if there are people, it cannot be the Chen family.

The emperor loves Ye Shi so much now, Ye's mother's family is very powerful, and she gave birth to a prince, if she pushes Ye Shi to be the queen, she will definitely be able to stand.

But one day, the prosperity of the Chen family will be over.

"Hey, the concubine is now raising the eldest prince, at least she can still see the emperor a few times, so it's not considered falling out of favor. Otherwise, the concubine's barren body would not dare to make a sound of being bullied."

Wan Xiuyi watched the Queen Mother's expression change, knowing that she was thinking about the stakes, so she sighed at the right time.

After saying this, the queen mother took a look at her.

That's right, Wan's family is beautiful and intelligent, and his family background is not vulgar. From entering the palace to now, not to mention being favored a lot, but he has always been favored by the emperor, and he has raised the eldest prince who is close to him, but he is still barren.

Such a woman is doomed to have no chance to be a queen, so she is very relieved to support her.

If you can't find a suitable person to be the queen for a while, then support one to share Ye's favor, and stop her first.

Thinking about this, the Empress Dowager smiled a little.

"Your child is also pitiful, but you are still young and have a good family background. Whether you can have a child or not, you already have a child, so what are you afraid of?"

"Look at Aijia, the emperor has you in his heart, otherwise why would he stay overnight? Look at Concubine Shu and Concubine De, they are still different."

Wan Xiuyi's face turned red, her eyes were mixed with shyness and sadness, she lowered her head slightly.

"The empress dowager really lifts up the concubines, it's just that the emperor pity the concubines, after all, the empress dowager is the elder, the concubines dare not ask the emperor for favor, they only ask the empress dowager to show pity for the concubines."

The steps were paved according to the trend, and the Empress Dowager also wanted to, so she naturally went down.

Make a loving face and say, "You are well-behaved and sensible, Aijia naturally loves you, and will often bring the eldest prince to the Palace of Compassion and Peace in the future, and Aijia can still say a few words in front of the emperor."

"Yes." Wan Xiuyi respectfully stood up and blessed her body.

She was also smart, and she made up her mind to please the queen mother, but she made the queen mother smile all afternoon.

In the end, she and the eldest prince were left after dinner.

Two days later, someone went to Jiuchen Palace to invite Ning Chen to have lunch at the Empress Dowager's place.

In the past two years there have been a lot of things going on in the Palace, the Empress Dowager is getting older, and her health is not as healthy as before, mother and son don't see much, but the relationship has eased a bit.

Ning Chen had nothing to do, so he naturally agreed.

After finishing the paperwork, it was still early, so I asked someone to prepare some supplements and went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

When she came, the queen mother was basking in the sun in the yard.

The weather is fine today, so I set up a deck chair in the yard and squatted for a while covered with a fox fur blanket.

People are afraid of the cold when they are old, so they especially like to bask in the sun.

Ning Chen glanced quietly.

It was rare for him to see such a quiet look of the Queen Mother. After all, they were connected by blood, and a little warmth rose from the bottom of his heart.

Even want to get closer.

But in the end, the mother and child have not been close for many years, and in the end they still didn't move.

"Greetings to the queen, my son." Ning Chen saluted in a deep voice.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes and sat up while holding the servant's hand.

"The emperor is here, why did he come so early, Ai's family hasn't asked anyone to prepare dinner yet."

"There aren't many papers today, so I came as soon as they were approved, and brought some supplements for my mother." Ning Chen said.

The queen mother nodded with a smile and stood up.

The mother and son went into the house.

Before it was time to eat, the servants served tea first.

Ning Chen took a sip of tea, "This is chrysanthemum tea, isn't my mother likes to drink Pu-erh tea?"

The maid who was making tea by the side changed her face and knelt down.

"Because the imperial physician said that the Empress Dowager's internal fire has been serious recently, she brewed chrysanthemum tea and drank it. The servant girl was negligent for a moment and forgot to prepare another tea for the emperor. I also ask the emperor to forgive me."

"It's okay, the sky is dry these days, it's good to drink this, you go down." Ning Chen waved his hand.

Naturally, he wouldn't make any fuss about this little thing, let alone in the empress dowager's palace.

However, I also feel that the palace lady's reaction is too big, just explain a small matter clearly, why is she so flustered.

Could it be that he looks too serious and scary?
In fact, the maid was afraid, but it was not Ning Chen, but the Queen Mother who was afraid.

As the queen mother got older, her temper became violent and she was always unhappy. If she accidentally offended the queen mother, she would beat her up.

After all, this is not an honorable matter, Mother Fu has strictly ordered not to spread it, so Ning Chen doesn't know.

The queen mother picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said slowly, "I see that the corners of the emperor's mouth are a little pimple, you should pay attention to it on weekdays, and the concubines who serve you should pay more attention. Recently, Ming Zhaoyuan served At most."

"Thank you mother for your concern. The concubines in the harem are all good, but my daily life is taken care of by the servants. I don't like to drink chrysanthemum tea, and they dare not bring it up. My son will pay attention when he goes back." Ning Chen road.

He also heard some clues in the Queen Mother's words, alluding to Ye Yun's lack of care and carelessness in serving her.

Ning Chen didn't like to hear this, but he didn't like to confront the queen mother, so he made vague remarks, dragged the concubines in the entire harem, and blamed the problem on himself.

But all this fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, but Ning Chen had already protected Ye Yun to the extreme.

This is not what she wants to see.

His slightly cloudy eyes darkened, and he put down his teacup, ready to test Ning Chen's mind.

"Although the concubines and servants are good at serving, it's still not good if there is no one in charge of the harem. Without a wife, you can't have a family. We are a heavenly family, and we need to be complete."

When she said this, the queen mother looked at Ning Chen's expression calmly.

But now Ning Chen is no longer the time to show joy. With the accumulation of these years, he can be regarded as a qualified king.

At this moment, his expression was indifferent, and no one could see any emotion at all.

Of course, it's also because he doesn't want people to see it now.

"I understand what the queen mother means, but I don't plan to make a queen right now. The Xie family is vicious. I can't afford another queen like this to harm the harem. It's not like Nan Qi doesn't have a precedent for not making a queen."

Ning Chen's imperial grandfather never became a queen even after his wife's death, and Ning Chen's father was also a concubine prince.

After moving out the elders of the ancestors at once, the Queen Mother naturally didn't have much to say.

It's just awkward, "It's good for the emperor to think about it clearly. The establishment of a queen is also a major matter for the country, and it really cannot be decided lightly."

It doesn't matter if you don't stand up, then everyone is the same, they are all bastards, and no one is more noble than anyone else.

　Sorry, I have a cold and a fever and I really don’t have the energy to type. I’ll do more when I get better.
