"Queen Mother, it doesn't have to be like this, if you really do this, I'm afraid it will cause more discussion." Yun Qingyan sat aside and stopped Hongfeng.

"Yan'er, now these rumors are spreading more and more violently, if you don't stop them, I'm afraid it will make people think that you and Bengong are weak-hearted."

She naturally knew that in this situation, if she stopped it too much, it might cause others to discuss, but she couldn't watch those people splash dirty water on their cigarette heads. The only thing she can do is to kill the chickens and monkeys, and catch the people who talk about them and punish them severely, so that they can create a deterrent and make them dare not talk nonsense anymore.

Yun Qingyan knew that Empress Chu was for her good, but she knew better in her heart that if Empress Chu really punished those who talked about it this time, she was afraid that her reputation of generosity and kindness would not be able to be preserved after so many years.

"Queen Mother, you have been the queen for so many years, why do you need to arouse their criticism now. It's just some gossip, and we don't care about nature. ”

Empress Chu sighed, "Yan'er, you and your brother are now having accidents one after another, do you think the queen mother really cares about the reputation of tolerance." The queen only blames herself for her incompetence and failure to protect you, especially you, for putting you in dangerous situations again and again. ”

"Princess, in fact, the queen has been blaming herself in her heart these days, no matter how the slave and maid persuade her, she still can't get over this hurdle in her heart." Hongfeng on the side frowned and couldn't help but speak.

If you want to blame it, it's only to blame that there have been too many things that have happened in the recent period, although Niangniang looks no different from usual on the surface, but she can't sleep at night, and she has been worrying and blaming herself in her heart, if she continues like this, I'm afraid that Niangniang's body will definitely be affected.

Yun Qingyan walked to Empress Chu's side and held her hand, "Queen Mother, don't worry, the truth will always be revealed." We're all that old, and even if something happens, you don't need to feel guilty about yourself. What's more, because of the presence of the queen mother, we have been well protected, and you have fully fulfilled the responsibility of a mother, and you do not need to feel any guilt. ”

Queen Chu held Yun Qingyan's hand instead, "Yan'er ......"

Before Queen Chu finished speaking, at this time, someone from the palace suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that Concubine Shu had arrived.

Empress Chu frowned, but she could only temporarily restrain the emotions on her face, and sent someone to pass Concubine Shu in.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother." Concubine Shu bowed to Queen Chu, looked at Yun Qingyan on the side, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the eldest princess to be here, what a coincidence." ”

"Concubine Shu, get up, you're welcome." Empress Chu opened her mouth lukewarmly.

Although the previous incident has passed, and Concubine Shu also seems to sincerely apologize in front of her, she also wants to get along well without blame. But the incident of the Royal Garden Hot Spring last time proved that I am afraid that Concubine Shu is simply full of strength and wants to deal with them behind her back, so now she naturally does not have much good face for Concubine Shu.

"Queen Mother, there have been a lot of things in the air recently, plus those gossips, the concubine is really worried about the Queen Mother, so I came to visit."

Concubine Shu had a gentle smile on her face, as if the affairs of the Imperial Garden did not exist at all.

"Concubine Shu has a heart, but there is nothing to do in this palace, as for those who spread rumors casually, or want to do something behind their backs, this palace will naturally not let it go easily."

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, the look on her face was unnatural, and she was silent for a while before speaking.

"Queen Mother, the concubine also knows that you may still have some guilt in your heart about the concubine because of the matter in the Imperial Garden, but that time, the concubine was also invited by the third princess, I really don't know what will happen."

"Concubine Shu is too careful, this palace doesn't think so." Empress Chu picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea faintly, "What's more, Concubine Shu is the emperor's concubine, as long as you don't do anything wrong and don't come to the hands of this palace, what do you think in your heart, naturally there is no need to explain to this palace." ”

"Queen Mother, what she said is not right, since the concubine is in this harem, she should naturally follow the teachings of the Queen Mother." Concubine Shu paused, "In the past few days, the concubine has been very worried because of the previous incident, for fear that the queen mother and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would misunderstand. It's just that there have been a lot of things recently, and the concubines are afraid to come to explain rashly, and finally disturb the queen mother and the eldest princess. That's why it's been delayed until today, and I hope that the queen mother and the eldest princess can forgive me, and don't misunderstand the concubines because of the previous incident. ”

Concubine Shu's words seemed to be sincere, as if the previous things really had nothing to do with her, but whether it was Queen Chu or Yun Qingyan, they naturally didn't believe it in their hearts.

"Concubine Shu, since you have to explain that matter, then this palace will ask you. Before, it was clear that there was a conflict between you and the third princess, and there was still discord, why did she invite you to go to the Imperial Garden in the middle of the night, and you still gladly went, is it a little unreasonable? ”

"Queen Mother, although there is indeed some friction between the concubines and the third princess, but that is all before, no matter what, the three princesses are the daughters of the emperor, and the concubines naturally dare not make too much trouble, so doesn't it also make the emperor embarrassed."

Concubine Shu shook her head and sighed.

"In fact, in the final analysis, the concubines have no children and no daughters, who dare to offend in this harem, I just hope that everyone can get along peacefully. Of course, if the queen mother is really dissatisfied with the concubine, she can reprimand the concubine now, or punish the concubine, but the concubine hopes that after this incident, the queen mother can not be held accountable. We can get along well, don't cause any trouble, and only add to the emperor's distress. ”

Concubine Shu's words undoubtedly pushed Queen Chu to a situation where she had to forgive, if the stalemate continued, it would only make people feel that Queen Chu was not generous enough and not considerate enough to understand Emperor Yun.

The look on Empress Chu's face slowly sank, but when she spoke, her tone softened a little.

"Since Concubine Shu has the heart to explain, the previous matter, the palace will naturally not pursue it anymore. From now on, everyone will live in peace and serve the emperor well, that is. ”

"Thank you for the queen's teaching, please rest assured, the concubine will definitely serve the emperor and the queen well." Concubine Shu hurriedly spoke with a happy face.

"Okay, if there's nothing to do, you can go back first, the palace is also a little tired, and I plan to take a rest." Empress Chu put down the teacup in her hand and waved her hand at Concubine Shu.

"Yes." Concubine Shu nodded in response, and after finishing speaking, she glanced at Yun Qingyan again, "Since the queen mother wants to rest, I don't know if the eldest princess is going to leave now?" ”
