Until the emperor left Kunning Palace, the old lady was not summoned, and she was very dissatisfied with the queen and Xu Shu avoiding her to plot big things, and she felt aggrieved because Xu Shu could speak in front of the palace and she couldn't see the holy face, of course, this dissatisfaction was only aimed at Xu Shu, so when she was in the side hall, the old lady put the elders' money full and let Xu Shu serve her for lunch.

Although Xu Shu was annoyed by the old lady's behavior, she had nothing to do, so she could only endure it patiently, after all, this was in the palace, in front of the queen, even if the old lady didn't take care of it, she couldn't care about it, otherwise it would be hers, after all, the old lady was an elder, and she couldn't care about it, and the old lady also expected that Xu Shu couldn't resist, and she didn't dare to tell the queen afterwards.

Xu Shu finished serving the old lady to eat, and was holding the spittoon to let the old lady rinse her mouth, the queen took Yuan Mama to pass Xu Shu to the main hall to speak, because Yuan Mama's identity is not ordinary, it is because Yuan Mama went to the side hall when the palace maids did not pass a word inward, so they directly let Yuan Mama in, and when she entered the house, she saw Xu Shu personally serving the old lady to rinse her mouth, Yuan Mama was obviously stunned, and then looked at the thrush on the side, her eyebrows frowned for a moment and immediately expanded, and her face was as usual to the old lady, "Old lady!" He said to Xu Shu again, "Miss Jiu, the queen invites you to go!" ”

Xu Shu put down the spittoon and said, "Please also ask Mama to wait, wait for me to clean my hands and then go with Mama!" ”

"That slave is waiting for Miss Nine!" Mama Yuan glanced at the table that had not had time to clean up, and there was a pair of dishes and chopsticks on it that had not been moved, and she knew that Xu Shu was the one who served the old lady for dinner, and now Xu Shu was only afraid that the water and rice had not entered, although it was natural to serve the elders as a junior, but this was in the palace, not in the Zheng Mansion, and the queen had just raised Miss Nine in front of the emperor, but the old lady, who was the queen's biological mother, turned her head and called Miss Nine like a maidservant, and others would inevitably feel that the old lady was dissatisfied with the queen in their eyes. will lose the queen's face like this.

Xu Shu went to wash her hands, and the thrush hurriedly took the spittoon to the back, although Mama Yuan didn't say anything, but the old lady still couldn't help blushing, deliberately pinching Xu Shu was hit by the queen's henchmen, and when the queen was favoring Xu Shu, the queen knew that she might be annoyed that she acted without proportion, but she just couldn't swallow that breath, and she couldn't get used to seeing Xu Shu take away the glory that should belong to her, why let her a yellow-haired little girl go to meet the emperor, she didn't have this glory as the queen's biological mother!

Xu Shu washed her hands and came out to salute the old lady, and then followed Mama Yuan out, and when she arrived in the atrium outside, Mama Yuan said, "Miss Nine hasn't eaten yet, the slave maid ordered someone to get a bowl of porridge in the room next to it, Miss Nine will use it first, and then go to the queen's place to talk back!" ”

"Thank you, Mama, it's just that I don't feel hungry yet, it's not good to keep my mother waiting for a long time!" Xu Shu refused, she didn't feel hungry, and she didn't have the heart to eat because she guessed the queen's intention to find her at the moment.

Mama Yuan persuaded, "Miss Jiu should eat some, so as not to lose her etiquette in front of her mother!" The implication is that if Xu Shu screams out hungry in front of the queen because she hasn't eaten, it's not good.

Xu Shu had no choice but to nod her head, "Thank you, grandma!" "I went to the next room, and sure enough, there was a little palace maid waiting with a bowl of warm porridge, Xu Shu took it and sniffed it, and ate it boldly without finding anything abnormal, and then went to see the queen with Mama Yuan.

The queen's face seemed to have returned to normal, not as uneasy and melancholy as when they first met in the morning, and it was thought that the queen had already made up her mind.

"Sit down!"

Seeing that Mama Yuan had already withdrawn and closed the door, Xu Shu sat down as she said, "What do you command?" ”

The queen said, "There is still a month to go before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace had proposed to the emperor to hold a moon appreciation banquet that day, and now that she is pregnant, it is not appropriate to work on these anymore, but this moon appreciation banquet has been arranged!" The emperor has gone to Cining Palace, and this matter should be handed over to the empress dowager to handle, and the empress dowager just took this opportunity to choose a satisfactory concubine for the eldest prince! And she can also take advantage of the crowd to implement her plan that day, and then the Queen Mother will have nowhere to do if she wants to cover it up.

"Then you have to enter the palace to accompany the palace!"

"Yes!" Xu Shu took a deep breath and agreed, she didn't plan to stay out of the matter when she proposed to the queen, and if she wanted to break the game, she had to enter the game first.

"Now Kunning Palace should know the news that Bengong is pregnant!" The queen smiled comfortably, the queen mother should have mixed feelings after knowing the news that she was pregnant, the joy is that the emperor has another heir, and the worry is that if she gives birth to a prince, the Zheng family will inevitably overpower the Deng family, and she will eventually pass her.

"I'm afraid that everyone in the palace already knows about it now!" There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone four in the palace.

"It doesn't matter if others know or not, only the person who wants to know is what this palace wants to know!"

There was a meaningful smile on the corner of the queen's mouth, Xu Shu thought that after just a while, the queen must have already done something to the eldest prince.

"Niangniang, the emperor just came back from the school in a rage, and now he is back in the imperial study!" Mama Yuan slammed the door lightly and replied outside the door.

"Hongu knows!" The queen's face was filled with a smile of successful calculation, "Go to Xihuaxuan to inform Li Meiren to send the lotus seed soup that the palace ordered her to boil at noon to the emperor, the lotus seeds clear the fire, the emperor moved such a big liver fire, just eat a bowl of lotus seed soup to reduce the fire!" ”

"The slave has already ordered someone to go to Xihuaxuan!" Mama Yuan said again, "Gonggong Xing sent the jade pillow that the emperor rewarded the old lady and Miss Jiu, and the slave maid has already ordered someone to send it to the carriage!" ”

"I can't hold my breath!" The queen chuckled, "Every other day, the eldest prince has to go to the school to practice riding and archery, and I have been practicing for half a year, and I heard that it is quite effective!" Today is the day when the eldest prince goes to the school field, and the palace inadvertently told the guards guarding the school that the palace was pregnant, and the guards have been very close to the eldest prince recently, and sure enough, they told the news to the eldest prince. The palace also told the emperor that the news of the palace's pregnancy was if the emperor told the queen mother in person, her old man would be even happier! The emperor went to Cining Palace, the empress dowager will definitely let the emperor go to see the eldest prince, the eldest prince is not good at reading, but the riding and archery is good, and it is considered to have the same strength, how can you not show off in front of the emperor? ”

It's a pity that when the emperor went up, he saw that it was not the great prince with superb riding skills and excellent archery skills that the empress dowager expected, but a big prince who was indignant that the queen's pregnancy threatened his status. "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back!" The queen summoned Mama Yuan, "Go and invite your mother over, this palace has a few words to explain!" ”
