Chapter 121: First Visit to the Queen Mother

Back in her palace, Concubine Jin began to make grand renovations. No matter day or night, I am always busy.

They even changed the architecture and decoration of many places, making it not only a mess but also a mess every day, and many people had their opinions.

Even the Queen Mother asked. Emperor Yuande asked if he should take care of it, but Emperor Yuande reasoned that it didn't cost the palace money, and secondly, it would make him look good after the Mongolian king came, so he didn't care.

This matter quickly spread in the palace, and even Shen Ruochen, who never went out, knew about it.

On this day, Concubine Jin came to play with Sangege. Shen Ruochen couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the Queen Mother scolded the Emperor because of your construction of the palace?"

"I heard it was true. The emperor didn't say anything, and I didn't ask." Jin Fei said nonchalantly. His hands were still teasing the two little dolls on the bed. "Why do you ask?"

Shen Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "I always feel like something is wrong, so I'm a little worried."

"What's wrong with this? It's just to repair my own palace. Besides, I spent my money, what do they have to say!"

"But this is the palace, the most polite place."

"Then I'm not afraid. I also asked the emperor and the queen, and they both agreed. They can still turn over the account later!" Jin Fei snorted, "Then they are really shameless."

"Anyway, I don't feel good. How about you, sister, you can do it. Don't make everyone uneasy." Shen Ruochen advised.

"I know that there are many people who are not happy when they see me having a good time. There are also many people who are envious of my skills, so they deliberately make noise behind my back and want to disgust me! Huh, I just won't let them get what they want. !" Concubine Jin scolded angrily, "I want to make them both envious and helpless, then I will be happy!"

"I'm helpless now, sister, are you this kid?" Shen Ruochen pointed to the two baby dolls lying on the bed, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your children and your family, right? It's always a bad idea to start something like this, not to mention that it has even alarmed the Queen Mother, so I advise my sister to stop."

Then he whispered, "Has sister forgotten those things in the past? That imperial concubine..."

Concubine Jin looked at Shen Ruochen, and Shen Ruochen said, "Safety is the first priority."

Concubine Jin curled her lips and accepted Shen Ruochen's suggestion, "Okay then, I'll go back and let them finish it off, that's pretty much it."

"Sister, you are smart, and you obey as soon as you are told," Shen Ruochen held Jin Fei's hand with a playful smile and stuck it together. This made Concubine Jin feel sick, "Go, go, go! Get out of the way! You are quite a big man, and you are still like this!"

"Hehe," Shen Ruochen smiled.

It was said that Concubine Jin suddenly took over the palace, and everyone in the harem was surprised for a while, wondering what happened to make Concubine Jin stop her work.

There were all kinds of guesses, some even guessed whether the Mongolian king was not coming, whether the emperor was angry with Mongolia or had a problem with it, it was all kinds of things.

However, the Queen Mother found out that this matter might have something to do with Shen Ruochen. When the Emperor came to pay his respects, the Queen Mother said, "Except for the third elder brother, the Ai family has never seen this child before he was born. It has been so long since he has seen this child. When? You ask Mrs. Shen, who raises Third Elder Brother, to bring Third Elder Brother here so that the Ai family can meet him."

"Yes, this is the neglect of the son," Emperor Yuande said, "Then I will ask Shen to promise to bring the child over tomorrow."

"Promise? Why did you agree?"

Emperor Yuande frowned, "It was just a small mistake. I was in a bad mood that day, so I dismissed her as a promise."

"Why do you demote someone for no big deal! Could it be that you are just like the Queen, just to save money?" The Queen Mother said seriously, "I am raising a prince, and it is not good for the adoptive mother to have a low status."

"What the Queen Mother said is that I can wait until the end of the year to let her return to her usual place!"

"At the end of the year, I think it's time for the Yi Ai family to seal the harem once. Although there are more things in the previous dynasty this year, the harem is good. There are more children. The sealing is also lively and lively. Please give me a blessing next year. What a blessing, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yuande nodded, "It has been many years since I sealed the harem. The last time was the year when I ascended the throne. Think about how time flies."

"Yes, at that time you only had two children, eldest brother and eldest brother. Now you are the grandmother of several children." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "This will continue in the coming year. The more children you have, the more blessings you will have." It’s business.”

"I sincerely follow the teachings of the Emperor." Emperor Yuande said respectfully.

The next day, Shen Ruochen received the order and came to Shoukang Palace with his third elder brother and Guizhi very anxiously.

As soon as he entered the palace, Shen Ruochen shivered instinctively. Guizhi was busy beside him and whispered comforting, "My young master, don't be afraid. The Queen Mother is very kind and will not treat you badly."

Shen Ruochen smiled reluctantly. Anyway, as long as he went to a place he was not familiar with, or a place with important people, he would be scared, and he was still very scared.

"Master Shen, the Queen Mother is waiting for you. You and your servants can come in." An old aunt walked out with a smile.

"Well, okay, okay." Shen Ruochen hugged the child tightly and hurriedly followed behind.

The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, and the sandalwood scent inside was very strong. Shen Ruochen subconsciously glanced at the third elder brother. The little guy also wrinkled his nose, obviously not feeling well.

Little one, just be patient. This is your grandmother and she will be kind to you. Shen Ruochen thought to himself, but his hand involuntarily moved the third elder brother's head to his shoulder, so as to reduce the smell as much as possible.

This scene happened to be seen by the old woman who was leading the way, and she couldn't help but smile. "The Queen Mother knows that Third Brother is coming and has been smelling it for a long time. It should be fine."

Shen Ruochen nodded hurriedly, thinking: What amazing eyes! As expected, there were no mortals around the Queen Mother.

Turning around the pearl curtain, I saw a rich and kind old man sitting cross-legged on the Kang in the sun, playing with the beads in his hand. The old lady beside her stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Shen promised to come."

It turns out this is the Queen Mother!

This is...too young!

Shen Ruochen hurriedly knelt down and said, "Chu Xiugong promised Shen to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed."

"Get up," the voice was kind. It felt much better than when I visited the Queen before. Well, maybe it was because there were fewer people.

Shen Ruochen thought to himself.

"Is this the third elder brother? Come, give the Queen Mother a hug!" said the Queen Mother.

Shen Ruochen handed it over carefully with both hands. The Queen Mother took it and shook it in her arms a few times. She smiled and praised it, "Well, it's quite heavy and looks very energetic. This is all because of your careful care! Not bad!" "

Shen Ruochen hurriedly declined, "It's all about the feng shui of the palace, and the concubine didn't do anything."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Where did you hear this word from? Even if the Forbidden City uses Feng Shui to raise people, it will also raise beauties like you, right?"

"Ah?" Shen Ruochen was a little confused. He wanted to scratch his head at a loss, but he remembered how embarrassing he was when his clothes were entangled last time, so he didn't dare to scratch his head. But he raised his hand again. It didn't matter if he continued to raise it or put it down. No, for a moment I was so embarrassed that I wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. This scene made the Queen Mother laugh.

"Why didn't Aijia know you were so interesting before?"
