The Empress Dowager has actually seen through her identity!

Xu Shu is sure of this, even if she behaves flawlessly, judging from the layout of Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager has already suspected her, and called her over just to verify, the Empress Dowager did not put it down, but confirmed it......

Xu Shu thought that the Empress Dowager would reveal her identity after she was confirmed, she was ready to resist and deny it, but the Empress Dowager did not do so, which made Xu Shu a little puzzled, at this time, exposing her identity is not equivalent to grasping the handle of the Zheng family, and she can coerce the Zheng family to obey her, isn't it?

But why didn't the Empress Dowager do this? Xu Shu was puzzled.

When I arrived at the Dingtai Palace, I found Ruoshu waiting outside the hall, and was pacing anxiously, and saw Xu Shu coming to meet him, "Miss Jiu, you are finally here!" ”

"Why don't you go in?" Xu Shu looked at the palace maids holding the brocade box and couldn't help but feel strange.

Ruoshu said, "When the slave maid came, Concubine Wen was talking to the queen's mother, the slave didn't dare to disturb, Concubine Wen just left, and the slave maid thought that she had been waiting for so long, so it was better to wait for you to come and go in together!" ”

Ruoshu is afraid that she will not be able to explain clearly to the queen mother when she goes in alone, so she has to wait for herself to be together! It's just that Xu Shu sent Ruoshu away in advance because she wanted her to report the news, lest Xu Shu have a good deal with the Queen Mother, but obviously Ruoshu didn't understand Xu Shu's intentions, and it's no wonder that the queen mother relied on Mama Yuan, and it was really useless......

Xu Shu saw through it and didn't say it.

"Let's go, let's go in!"

Xu Shu entered the main hall, and there was a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, and there was a faint sound of staggering, pushing cups and changing lamps, and the strong smell of wine came to the nose for a while.

Xu Shu poked her head from behind the screen to the position where the queen was located, and after seeing her, Mama Yuan hurriedly whispered a few words to the queen's mother and came to her side.

"Miss Nine, you can be regarded as here, Niangniang has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xu Shu explained, "I met Father-in-law Lu on the way, and it happened that the Empress Dowager also had a reward for Concubine Zhen, so I brought it with me, and it was delayed!" ”

"The Empress Dowager will make people call!" Mama Yuan was slightly dissatisfied, today is the day when King Pingning returned to the dynasty, the queen mother was busy with the banquet that took so long to organize, the queen mother did not give the queen mother face, and refused to show up, even the people from Cining Palace did not come, and finally even called the queen's family to come, it was really too deceitful.

"It's just a gesture!" Xu Shu beckoned someone to put things down, "I just saw that although the things rewarded by the Empress Dowager are valuable, they are not as much as the Empress Dowager's rewards, so there is no distinction between them and them!" ”

Whether it is the Empress Dowager pressing the queen, or the queen pressing the Empress Dowager, it is a little inappropriate, so it is best not to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

"Miss Nine, let's go, the queen is waiting!"

Xu Shu probed and saw Zhou Jin sitting at the head of the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect Zhou Jin to look up at her, so frightened that she immediately retracted her head.

"Miss Nine?" Seeing Xu Shu hesitating, Mama Yuan looked puzzled.

Xu Shu pointed to the hall, "I just saw a man...... It's not appropriate for me to go like this......" Xu Shu tried hard to make a shy appearance.

"That's Prince Pingning, Miss Nine didn't recognize it at a glance, right? The old slave didn't recognize it at first sight, but he didn't expect that the prince of Pingning had been in Rouran for more than ten years, and he hadn't been contaminated with Rouran's habits at all! ”

"Then why didn't he sit with the other princes?" Shouldn't Zhou Jin sit down below and be with King Ji and King Duan? What do you do when you sit on it?

Mama Yuan explained, "This is the Queen Mother's special order, saying that they have not seen each other for many years, and if they want to be closer, the Queen Mother will move the seat of the Prince of Pingning to the Queen Mother's side!" Miss Nine, your place is next to the queen's mother! This is the highest honor! ”

Xu Shu would rather not have such glory......

There are still so many royal relatives and nobles sitting below, as well as the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the Lady of the Commandment, how can she sit on it with the cheekiness? Especially Zhou Jin is still opposite her!

"Niangniang loves, but I really don't have the qualifications to sit there......"

"Niangniang is also a good intention, Miss Nine has won a generous reward from the emperor, it is a good time for others to have a glimpse! The queen mother of this seat also asked the emperor, and the emperor also agreed, so it was the emperor who gave the seat, so why should Miss Nine be arrogant? ”

"I know......" Xu Shu sighed, she could only step forward, she had already known that the queen called her over not simply to accompany her, to relieve the embarrassment for the queen......

"The courtiers meet the Queen Mother, meet the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, but the expression on her face was as cold as frost at the moment she saw Xu Shu, and then looked at Zhou Jin, sure enough, Zhou Jin's eyes fell on Xu Shu unexpectedly, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but be even more annoyed.

The queen smiled, "You're here, excuse me, get up quickly!" ”

Xu Shu got up and saluted the royal family again, "I've seen all the princes, princesses!" "In this way, it is logical that I have met Zhou Jin.

King De was older, and he was a big one, and he accepted the salute for everyone, "Miss Zheng Jiu is about to take a seat, and King Duan has been sitting alone for a long time!" He laughed.

Xu Shu watched the queen deliberately arrange Duanwang Zhouxun by her side, and the other princes were on the opposite side, but they really took special care of her!

Thinking of what the queen had told her, Xu Shu sat down on the seat that belonged to her with some depression, it seemed that the queen couldn't wait to put forward a plan for succession...... This time is also the time, the Deng family is pressing step by step, the emperor has nothing to do, and now that Zhou Jin is back, the emperor is under attack, and a new way out is urgently needed at this time......

Xu Shu sat down, and King Duan suddenly leaned over to her and said, "I didn't expect this position to be reserved for you!" ”

Xu Shu asked, "Who does the prince think it was left for?" ”

Zhou Xun scratched his head, he didn't know who it was for, but his intuition felt that this position did not belong to Xu Shu, "I don't know, but it seems that you are sitting here a little badly, you see, Concubine Zhen is sitting in the back!" ”

Xu Shu looked at Zhou Xun along the point, it was the seat belonging to the harem concubines, and Concubine Wen was also among them, and the beautiful woman who looked like she was in her early thirties sitting side by side with Concubine Wen should be Zhou Jin's biological mother, Concubine Zhen, and the eyebrows were indeed very similar to Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin really looked more like his biological mother!

When comparing the looks of Concubine Zhen and Zhou Jin, Xu Shu inevitably glanced at Zhou Jin a few times, even though Xu Shu was very careful to control his eyes, but he still accidentally looked at Zhou Jin.
