Mrs. Li was already overwhelmed by the marriage that fell from heaven, and as soon as she heard Li Duqing's words, she stood up and rushed out.

When Ling Rou saw her coming angrily, she knew that she had come to find fault again.

Ying Ying saluted, "Madam."

"Where have you been?" Mrs. Li asked coldly.

"I'm back to my mother's house." She didn't plan to hide it, after all, she couldn't. Rather than being found out by her, it is better to be honest.

"Mother's house? Your aunt is no longer Ling Xiang's concubine, why did you come from your mother's family?" Mrs. Li sneered.

The irritability was like a thick wall, but now it was like a crack opened so that she could catch her breath.

Ling Rou held back her anger, her face was respectful, and her voice was gentle: "Auntie is gone, but Dad is still there."

Mrs. Li looked at her eyes that were neither humble nor arrogant, but also faintly smiling, and burst into anger: "You threaten me?"

"The concubine doesn't dare."

Mrs. Li resisted the urge to slap her and stared at her deadly.

"What are you going to do back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you complain to your father? Let him support you?"

Ling Rou shook her head, for some reason, looking at her breath-holding appearance, she had some confidence.

"Mrs. Hui, the concubine just went back to get some items, and wanted to choose some to give to the housewife who is about to enter the mansion."

The housewife?

Hearing this word, Mrs. Li's eyes burst with contempt.

"A rough girl is also worthy of being a mistress? Mrs. Ben is still alive, and it is not her turn to call the shots in this Hou Mansion!"

Ling Rou's eyes were full of panic, and she pretended to persuade: "Madam, this kind of thing is just said here, and it must not be heard by outsiders. The queen mother's marriage is a supreme honor, no matter what the future lady looks like, the mother says yes, then it must be good!"

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, almost causing disaster to the Hou Mansion!

Snorted, "You know each other."

Ling Rou said thoughtfully, "I was trained by my wife in the morning, so I will naturally have a memory."

For some reason, the more calm she is, the less calm Mrs. Li is.

"Show me what you've brought."

Ling Rou took some jewelry and introduced them one by one.

Mrs. Li's gaze fell on an oiled paper bag next to her.

Two fingers poked out and uncovered them, revealing cute pastries.

"Where did you buy this?"

Ling Rou smiled lightly: "Mrs. Hui, I didn't buy it. My sister made it herself, and my father said it tasted good, so I asked the concubine to bring some back to taste."

Mrs. Li looked at her suspiciously, did Ling Lie value this daughter again?

"Your father, did you ask about the wound on your face?"

"Asked. The concubine said, accidentally hitting the door. He wanted the concubine to stay at home for a few more days, but the concubine thought that she would come back to serve her wife, so she politely declined."

Mrs. Li said "um", so that she doesn't have to wait for a few days, so she can rest well.

After she left, Ling Rou breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The truth of the words is not important, the important thing is that it cannot be verified.

As long as she is true enough, she can only believe it!

Fengqi Palace.

The queen was about to go to bed, when she heard Cuiyun say that the emperor had arrived at the gate of the palace.

"The emperor didn't say he would come here tonight."

Cuiyun said: "I heard the little eunuch next to the emperor say that he happened to walk nearby, so he came to see Niangniang."

As soon as he changed his clothes, before he could make up, the emperor arrived.

"The concubines see the emperor." Before the ceremony was completed, he pulled him up.

"Stand aside, the rest."

After Cuiyun and the others left the dormitory, the emperor looked at the empress carefully.

This look made her extremely uncomfortable.

reminded her of Ah Yun.

Father and son are exactly the same!

"Does the emperor have something to ask his concubines?" Her eyes were soft, her voice was calm, and in this quiet night, it was like a spring in the mountains.

The Emperor gestured to the side

"Sit down and speak."

"Your Majesty."

The emperor stretched and thumped his shoulders.

"The last time we had a long talk, it was you who stripped Wei Baxian of the position of marquis. Remember?"

The queen stood up again and squeezed him by the shoulders.

"How can you not remember? For the first time in so many years, the concubine warned him with a heavy hand."

The Emperor clapped her hands and closed his eyes.

"I heard that you beat Wei Baxian with thirty boards, and punished Wei Luo for kneeling in front of the palace for two hours, why?"

Her hand paused, "Your Majesty, is it okay for the concubine to explain to you later?"

"Yes."

He pointed to his head, "I've been having a headache for the past few days, and the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor is useless."

When the queen heard this, she moved her hand from her shoulder to her head and pressed it on him.

The Emperor opened his eyes: "Only with you can I relax with all my heart."

The queen smiled.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask why the concubine would give a rough palace maid to Li Duyun as his wife?"

The Emperor raised his eyebrows, and then smiled, "Is it also for me to explain it after a while?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"And you went out of the palace twice to visit the Ling Mansion to visit the child named Ah Yun, it should be the same, right?"

The empress smiled with tears in her eyes and knelt in front of him: "Your Majesty, thank you for your understanding. At most, for a month, when the concubines understand the matter clearly and thoroughly, they will definitely explain it to the emperor."

The Emperor pulled her up with one hand, "Good. We are married couples, don't always kneel when no one is around. It's just that I want to remind you that that girl from the Ling family is not something you can scold at will. Let's not mention that Ling Lie and Xue Zhi are both extremely protective of their shortcomings, and I see, that girl also has a deep relationship with Da Zheng's Nanwang Mansion, otherwise the old prince would not personally stand up for her."

"The old prince of the Southern Palace?" The queen did not hear about this, and was stunned for a moment.

The Emperor nodded, "If he hadn't invited him, how could I have heard about Zhaolin's dirty things with my own ears? Although Zhaolin had bad intentions, he did not cause other consequences except for injuring a small guy. It's enough to be seriously injured by Ling Yue, right? But the old prince said no, I had no choice but to add fifty boards to end the matter."

The queen thought that the emperor was extremely disappointed in Ye Zhaolin and dealt with it heavily, but it turned out that there was such a paragraph.

"But why did the old prince treat Ling Yue differently?"

The Emperor sighed, "Who knows? He has a "granddaughter", according to me, I am afraid that he wants to take him to be his granddaughter-in-law. I've heard that the prince of Nanwang has moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion today."

"What?" The queen was shocked.

This surprise fell into the eyes of the emperor, and it was also very surprising.

After many years of marriage, she has never been surprised.

Sensing the gaffe, the queen brushed the long hair next to her sideburns.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is thinking that Ling Lie is the prime minister of our Great Zhou, if his daughter marries Da Zheng as the concubine, will she be biased in her handling of things?"

The Emperor shook his hand and closed his eyes again.

"No, it won't. Although Ling Lie was wise enough to protect himself, he was loyal to Da Zhou. As a joke, if that son were his son, I would have doubted his position. But if my daughter is a princess, I think it will improve the relationship between the two countries. This is much more advantageous than He Caiwei marrying their little emperor as a concubine!"

He pushed her arm and smiled meaningfully, "Do you know why they chose He Caiwei?"

"Didn't you say that she was beautiful and dignified?"

The Emperor sat up straight, with the mystery of the young man in his eyes: "That is Da Zheng's sarcasm. The real reason is that she once humiliated Ling Yue on the street, and she happened to be met by Han Ming."

The emperor stayed in the Fengqi Hall and soon fell asleep.

But the queen kept looking out the window and couldn't sleep peacefully.

One Xue Tian has already annoyed her, and there is another Han Ming.

She regretted it even more, if the little girl hated her, her son's marriage would be broken

She's in her hands.

The bells and drums are long at night, and the stars and rivers are about to dawn.
