The expression on Jiang Shuhua's face suddenly froze, and she looked at Qi in surprise, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Qi slowly put away the teapot, put his hands on his lap, sat upright, and looked at her with a peaceful gaze, "You have always been smart, in this back house, I, as a mother, can't compare to you, at such a young age, you will solve so many things for me."

Now that you are getting older and have encountered many things, you are naturally more successful than before, and although the environment in the palace is more complicated, I don't think these will be difficult for you.

It looks like you were born to be in that kind of place."

"Mother?" Jiang Shuhua looked at Qi in disbelief, "You...... How could you say such a thing? Do you know how much suffering I have suffered since I entered the palace?

Everyone has backers, even those women with very low ranks, in fact, there are one or two officials in the family, but only I don't.

My father didn't recognize me, the Xie family didn't recognize me, in the East Palace, everyone secretly laughed at me for being just a country girl from a peasant family, I had no way to get rid of such an identity, I wanted people to know that I still have my mother, my mother is the daughter of a big family, and she is the head of the Xie family.

But I didn't tell anyone, because no one would believe me, everyone could only see that no one was in contact with me, that I had no support from my mother's family, and that no one of my closest relatives could come to the East Palace to see me."

As she spoke, she burst into tears, and then looked at Qi with teary eyes, "Mother, I'm really too difficult, in the palace, even those palace maids can bully me, and the maids in front of the crown princess look down on me.

At the beginning, when I was pregnant, I was alone in that yard, and I couldn't see anyone all day, and I had to be careful about the food and drink that was sent over every day.

I am pregnant with a child in my belly, I don't know how many people are staring, and the princess is a sweet-mouthed and bitter-hearted person, just act like a good person, but she still has countless minions behind her, and those people are all sharp blades and sword tips against me, mother, I came all the way, all rolled in blood and tears.

Can't you imagine it? Every time I am afraid, I think, I must survive, I must climb to the top, my mother is still suffering in the Xie family, I must be her proud daughter, I must let everyone see that my mother's choice is right, I can get up!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Shuhua couldn't cry anymore, and she couldn't help crying on the table.

Qi just sat opposite and looked at her quietly, as if she were a quiet listener, and there was no change in expression on her face.

Jiang Shuhua's heart sank little by little, but her brain slowly calmed down, she reached out to hold Qi's hand, but found that the other party's hand was under the table, and she couldn't pull it at all.

"Mother...... What's wrong with you?"

Qi shook his head slightly, "You say, I'll listen!"

"Why are you not at all moved by my affairs, don't you feel sorry for me at all? Don't you think I'm having a hard time right now?"

"Nature!" Qi nodded, "But...... Haven't you already enjoyed the fruits of this hard work now? Even if you don't go out in the mansion, I've heard about your situation in the East Palace now.

Think about how everyone thought of you and how the prince thought of you when you first entered, but in such a situation, you were able to stand up and get the right to manage the East Palace, and in this regard, you are almost more powerful than all the women in this world."

The smile on her face was even a little relieved, "In the past, I would have been worried about whether you would have no way to survive in the East Palace after you left the Xie family and changed back to the Jiang surname.

But it turns out that I think too much, you are much stronger than I imagined, so I can be relieved, it doesn't matter if there is no Xie family, with your ability, you don't need to be named the surname of the Xie family.

Even if you don't have any help at all, with your own skills, you can get everything you want, and that's what I can do with you."

These words sounded like they were agreeing with her, affirming her, and even for

She was proud, but at this time, Jiang Shuhua really felt a coldness.

This kind of coldness came from Qi's body, which was a kind of alienated and indifferent politeness, as well as a completely unintimate bystander.

Right!

At this time, Qi Shi talked about her as if he was a calm bystander.

"Mother...... Jiang Shuhua found her voice for a long time, and said with a little uncertainty, "You...... I really think it...... I don't need the Xie family anymore?"

The Qi clan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Shu'er, it's not whether you need the Xie family now, but ...... In fact, you have no relationship with the Xie family, and it is more beneficial for you to recognize this point in your heart earlier.

With your temperament, once you have something to rely on, it will restrict your performance, not to mention, the facts are the facts, and everything has already been set when the holy decree came down.

Even if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, no matter how much the crown prince values you, this cannot be changed, because it is the holy decree of Emperor Yufeng, and he cannot overturn his father's order at will."

Jiang Shuhua never expected that when she met the Qi family today, she would hear these words.

Although the Qi family looked a lot older, judging from the way she looked at herself, she was obviously not much different from the previous Qi family.

Why, she is so cold.

Treat yourself so cruelly and detachedly.

"But mother, you don't know, now there is a crown princess in the East Palace, that is the girl of the Wen family, and the Wen family is now in full swing, even more so than the original Zhao family.

Most importantly, do you know who the five girls of the Wen family are? There are no five girls from the Wen family at all, and perhaps, there is no such person in the Wen family in their hometown."

Jiang Shuhua looked at the Qi clan with a little begging, "That person is the county lord of Huimin, the county lord of Huimin!" It's just that she changed her identity and entered the East Palace.

The identity of the girl of the Wen family is innocent, so she can sit in the position of the crown princess smoothly, and there is the support of the Wen family and the eldest princess's mansion behind her, mother...... There's nothing I can do, I'm going to be killed by her.

Mother, I need you, I need you to help me, can you bear to watch me being bullied in the East Palace? I still have twins! That's your granddaughter!

What happens to my child if I die? Mother, I know it's not easy for you to be in the house now, but ...... But I really can't help it!"
