The queen and Mu Wan didn't continue to chat, because the guard came over and knocked on the door of the side hall, saying that most of the ministers in the imperial study had already come out.

The queen and Mu Wan glanced at each other, and the two got up and walked outside the hall.

However, although the requirements for women are not as strict as in previous dynasties, it is still not suitable to show their heads in front of all the ministers, so the queen and Mu Wan did not walk directly to the door of the imperial study, but stood some distance away from the imperial study.

However, the place where they stood was not guaranteed to be seen by others, so the queen asked Mu Wan to point out the location of her husband, and then asked the palace maid next to her to call Mu Wan's husband.

The palace maid walked directly to the place where Mu Wan's husband was, made a salute, and said to Mu Wan's husband: "This lord, Mrs. Mu and the queen are waiting over there, and Lord Lao will come over." ”

Mu Wan's husband couldn't react for a while after hearing the title of 'Mrs. Mu', and then remembered that his wife's surname was Mu, and the reaction at that time made the ministers around him, the queen and Mu Wan who were standing in the distance laugh.

There were even a few ministers who laughed and said:

"Lord Li, can't you even remember the name of your own wife?"

"Lord Li's performance at this time, after returning to the house, he may have to serve the family law."

"Lord Li, Madame has already entered the palace to look for her, so don't hurry over."

……

Lord Li, who was teased by everyone, didn't care about the ridicule of the people around him, and after greeting the few adults who were talking just now, he walked to the place where the queen and Mu Wan were.

When he walked to the queen's side, Master Li stopped and saluted the queen.

"Xia Guan has seen the queen's mother."

The queen stretched out her hand and said, "Master Li doesn't need to be polite, you are Wanwan's husband, and I am so close to Wanwan, so I don't need to see each other like this." ”

Master Li may have read a lot of books, and he is very strict in etiquette, and said to the queen very seriously: "Queen Mother." Your meaning is understood, but the etiquette is not expensive, since ancient times, there has been a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, how can there be an exception because of your relationship with the inner son. ”

When the queen saw Lord Li say this, she no longer insisted on it, and remembered that she had something to do when she came to the emperor, so she said to Lord Li: "Lord Li, you and Wanwan should go back to the house first, the palace and the emperor have something to discuss." ”

Master Li heard that the queen said that he wanted to find the emperor, and reminded: "Queen Mother, at this time, the emperor still has a few ministers to discuss matters, if you have something, you will wait for a while." ”

The queen didn't expect that the emperor was not busy yet, so she went back to the palace first, preparing to discuss this matter with the emperor the next day.

Less than half an hour after the queen returned to the palace, Shen Huo and He Suoyi entered the palace to greet the queen.

Before He Suoyi and Shen Huo entered the palace, He Suoyi began to panic again, and Shen Huo asked with some worry: "Ayi, are you okay, otherwise we will go again tomorrow?" ”

He Suoyi shook his head a little pale, and said: "It's okay, it's just to say goodbye to the queen mother, and it's not how far to go, and it's just a matter of a moment, I haven't been very uncomfortable all the time, how can I be so squeamish." ”

Although Shen Huo felt sorry for He Suoyi, He Suoyi had already said so, and Shen Huo couldn't hold on any longer.

After arriving outside the queen's palace, Shen Huo and He Suoyi stopped, Shen Huo was still not worried about He Suoyi's body, and looked at He Suoyi, He Suoyi smiled lightly, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing He Suoyi like this, Shen Huo continued to walk towards the queen's palace with He Suoyi.

The people in the queen's palace were accustomed to the practice that Shen Huo and He Suoyi did not need to report when they came, so they directly pointed out to them the location of the queen at this time.

When Shen Huo and He Suoyi were still at the palace gate, someone had already informed the queen, and the queen also knew that someone would tell He Suoyi and Shen Huo where she was, so she waited in place.

Because the queen's current location is a very quiet place, Shen Huo and He Suoyi didn't want to bring too many people to disturb the queen, so they let the subordinates who followed them stay at the door.

After seeing the queen, Shen Huo and He Suoyi saluted the queen together.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

"The concubine asks the queen mother for peace."

The queen asked the two of them to get up.

Shen Huo waited for a while, and saw that the queen didn't mean to speak, so he asked first: "I don't know how the queen mother is recently, the son has been busy these days, and Ayi's health is not good, so he is a little negligent to the queen mother, don't be surprised by the queen mother." ”

The queen glared at Shen Huo and said, "What are you talking about, you are busy with business, and you are not wasting time, besides, Ayi's body will also have problems because your child is gone, you should take care of Ayi more, how can the queen mother blame you for these things, is the queen mother such a person in your heart?" ”

Shen Huo hurriedly coaxed the queen and said, "It's the son's fault, the queen mother is the most tolerant and generous person in the son's mind." ”

The queen's face eased a little, and then the queen looked at He Suoyi, and found that He Suoyi's face was a little pale, and asked with concern: "Ayi, have you not recovered yet, why is your face so ugly?" ”

Shen Huo didn't want He Suoyi to talk more, for fear of being tired of He Suoyi, so he said for He Suoyi: "Queen Mother, Ayi's body is no longer in trouble, but it can't stand walking around for a long time, just let Ayi rest for a while." ”

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Just when He Suoyi thought that there was nothing wrong, the queen looked at He Suoyi and said, "Ayi, this palace has a plan in my heart and wants to hear your opinion." ”

He Suoyi said respectfully: "It's good if the queen mother has something to say." ”

"What is the current state of your body, the queen mother believes that you also know it in your heart, right?"

Hearing the queen ask like this, He Suoyi didn't understand what the queen meant, but he still replied: "Yes, the queen mother, the concubine heard what the imperial doctor said." ”

The queen continued: "This palace believes that you also know that Xun'er will inherit the throne in the future, and your current physique will not be able to give birth to another heir. ”

He Suoyi saw that the queen stopped, so he continued the queen's words and said: "So does the queen mother want the concubine to give up the position of the crown princess and marry a crown princess who can give birth to an heir?" ”

Shen Huo became anxious when he heard this, and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, there is only one person in the heart of the son, and I hope that the Queen Mother must not break up the two of us." ”

Seeing Shen Huo's reaction, the queen knew that it was difficult to convince Shen Huo, so she said to Shen Huo: "Xun'er, you go out first, and talk to Ayi in this palace." ”

Shen Huo knew the queen well, and he was afraid that the queen would say something that would make He Suoyi unhappy, so he said: "Queen Mother, just say whatever you want, and the sons promise not to interrupt, okay?" ”

The queen had no choice but to take Shen Huo, and when she heard Shen Huo say this, she no longer wanted Shen Huo to go out, but said: "Since you are like this, I hope you will talk and count, and don't speak later." ”

Shen Huo agreed.

He Suoyi felt very uncomfortable, he didn't have a child, he was in a depressed mood, and when he needed someone to enlighten him, the queen said such a topic, which suddenly made He Suoyi start to be anxious.

The queen didn't see the abnormality of He Suyi at this time, and said in her mouth: "It's not that the queen mother deliberately makes you unhappy, but you have to think about Xun'er, he can't have a thin heir, which will make people criticize!" ”

He Suoyi still didn't say a word, just stood there quietly.

The queen was dissatisfied with He Suyi in her heart, and her tone began to be unkind, and she said: "Ayi, you are a reasonable child, I believe that you know these things in your heart, it is impossible not to understand the powerful relationship, right?" ”

He Suoyi's face was a little ugly.

The queen thought that she was unwilling to listen to herself, and her attitude began to change.

"Originally, the palace only planned to accept one concubine and let her give birth to the imperial heir, but now, if you don't want the position of the crown princess, it's just that!"

He Suoyi reversed his previous calmness and retorted: "Queen Mother, are you sure that you want to accept a side concubine, the royal system is so strict, can a concubine be born before a concubine?" ”

The queen didn't take into account the issue of the dignity of the concubine at first, and when she heard He Suoyi ask like this, the queen was a little stunned.

But in the end, the queen is not an ordinary person, and she returned to normal with just a cup of tea, and said: "The palace has other arrangements for this matter, and your position as the crown princess will not be shaken." ”

"Yes, the concubine didn't know much about the back house in the past, but there are still few things about the side concubine climbing to the head of the main concubine? Queen Mother, it's impossible not to know about these things, but why do you still insist on keeping people around Your Highness? ”

"So you're not willing to do it anyway?"

"Does the concubine have the right to disagree?"

"If you don't want people to be bullied, then we can find a girl with a gentle personality who doesn't fight or grab, this is the biggest concession in this palace, and the side concubine must have it!"

He Suoyi and the queen come and go, Shen Huo on the side is mixed, happy that the imperial doctor has reminded him in private, saying that He Suoyi is angry in his heart, and it will be good to let it out, but the worry is that He Suoyi is losing his temper with the queen, and this kind of thing is again.

The queen remembered Shen Huo, who was standing on the side, turned around and asked, "Xun'er, what is your opinion on the matter of accepting concubines?" ”

Shen Huo knelt directly on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, Erchen and Ayi have gone around and around the way, and they have wasted a lot of time, so you will let the two of us go, okay?" ”

No matter what He Suoyi said before, the queen thought that she had lost her child, thinking that it was excusable, but when Shen Huo opened his mouth, the queen was a little overwhelmed at that time, after all, Shen Huo would not contradict her even if he had his own ideas before, but now he spoke to her like this.

He Suoyi began to calm down at this time and returned to his previous calm appearance, although He Suoyi realized that he had just overstepped the rules, but now was not the time to show the queen the reason, so he could only put it aside first.

The queen was angry, but she still wanted to persuade Shen Huo and make Shen Huo agree.

But if the queen pressed tightly, Shen Huo knelt there without saying a word.

He Suoyi intended to break the situation in front of him, but he didn't want to agree with Shen Huona's side concubine, so in the end, He Suoyi didn't say anything.
