Shoukang Palace.

"Greetings to the Queen."

"My grandson sends his regards to the Imperial Grandmother! Best wishes to the Imperial Grandmother."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Quick, get up, why are you two here together today? Is your Majesty okay?"

"It's okay. It's been a long time since I came to say hello to the Queen. The child is unfilial!" Emperor Yuande said sincerely, "How is the Queen's health lately?"

"Okay, okay," the Queen Mother said with a smile, as if nothing happened before, "Your Majesty is interested, sit down quickly, sit down."

"Yes," Emperor Yuande also smiled and sat aside.

"Your Majesty had a lot of things to do in the previous court, so you don't have to come to greet the Ai family all the time. The Ai family stayed alone and stayed well. Besides, there are these little ones!" The Queen Mother smiled and touched the second elder brother's head, "Tiger head and tiger head. Yes, it’s so cute.”

"The second elder brother has grown up now. He has gone to school and learned a lot." Emperor Yuande also looked at the second elder brother, "What you just said to Huang Ama, you should also talk to your imperial grandmother."

The second elder brother coyly said nothing.

Emperor Yuande frowned, "Why did you get so coy after I just praised you? Could it be that you want to imitate that big girl?"

The second elder brother was scolded and lowered his head.

"Oh, the second elder brother is still young. Why is the emperor forcing him to do this? Let's talk nicely." The Queen Mother held the second elder brother in her arms, "What's the matter? Talk to the imperial grandmother."

"Grandson... grandson..." The second elder brother glanced at Emperor Yuan De, "When my grandson was leaving school, he saw a little father-in-law picking up something from the ground and stuffing it into his arms. Grandson thought he It was stealing, but when I asked Huang Ama, Huang Ama scolded his grandson."

The second elder brother lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Royal grandmother, my grandson thinks that he is no longer a child. The master said that when he grows up, he should share his worries for Ama's mother. My grandson's mother has passed away, so my grandson will I want to share the worries for Emperor Ama, but Huang Ama..."

The second elder brother shed tears while talking.

Emperor Yuande said angrily, "You child, you are really excited when you are said to look like a woman, aren't you? You shed tears at every turn, what have you become!"

As he spoke, Emperor Yuande pointed at his second elder brother and cursed, "Come here, I think you're going to beat me lightly!"

"Emperor," the Queen Mother said hurriedly, "the second elder brother is still young, so he can't bear it when he is wronged. You are scaring the child like this! Besides, the child's heart is good, why are you still lecturing the child?"

"Huang'e Niang, you're not young anymore. When my sixth brother was as old as him, Huang Ama could take him hunting and shoot wolves and tigers. Here, you shed tears all the time. Do you think you are still a third-year-old? You're a child of 18 years old!" Emperor Yuande scolded, and the second elder brother was so frightened that he shivered in the Empress Dowager's arms and dared not speak.

"Okay, okay! If you want to fight back, no one is allowed to quarrel in the Ai family!" The Queen Mother scolded, and coaxed to the second elder brother in her arms, "Okay, your Majesty Ma doesn’t dare to hit you anymore, so stop crying and talk to the royal grandmother.”

I saw the second elder brother sniffing, wiping his tears, crawling to the side where the Queen Mother was copying Buddhist scriptures, picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper. He finished the painting in a few strokes and handed it to the Queen Mother, "Emperor Grandmother" , that’s what it is. There’s also the word Ning on it, which means peaceful Ning.”

The Queen Mother instantly froze and looked at her second elder brother in disbelief, and then at Emperor Yuan De. The second elder brother was still talking about the shape and color of the waistband, and he was talking very seriously.

Finally, he asked, "Royal Grandmother, what do you think I did wrong? Imperial Grandmother, Imperial Grandmother!"

"Okay, stop teasing your imperial grandmother," Emperor Yuan De scolded, "Your imperial grandmother is tired, how can she bear the hard work you do, go back and endorse it yourself, I will test you tonight!"

"Yes, my son and I will retire, and my grandson will retire," the second elder brother bowed his head and retreated.

The Queen Mother looked at the picture in her hand and trembled, "What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

"The Queen Mother is still asking me, but I want to ask the Queen Mother what does this mean?" Emperor Yuande looked at the Queen Mother and repeated the words of the second elder brother just now, "Where did I go wrong? Let the Queen Mother Such treatment of your own flesh and blood!"

"The Ai family can't understand what the emperor is saying!"

"Is this thing familiar to the Queen?" Emperor Yuande pointed to the painting, "I remember that when I was a child, I was naughty and saw this badge when I was rummaging through boxes and cabinets with my sixth brother. The Queen was very angry at that time. He also reprimanded the two of us, and at that time I was curious, what is this badge for?"

When Emperor Yuan De said this, he looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I didn't dare to ask the Queen Mother at that time. After all, she was not my biological child. But I was curious, so I encouraged my sixth brother to ask, what did your sixth brother say to the child?"

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yuan De, "The Ai family never told him, he doesn't know at all!"

"Yes, Huang's mother is very secretive, and even my sixth brother couldn't ask. But I have a problem, and I like to find out everything since I was a child, so I asked Huang Ama, and Huang Ama told me," Emperor Yuande looked at the Queen Mother, his eyes narrowed, "Empress, are you really responsible for the poisonous snakes in Chuxiu Palace?"

"You...you..." The Queen Mother panicked, "This thing belongs to the Ai family, it is indeed a gift from the Ai family, but the matter of the poisonous snake in Chuxiu Palace has nothing to do with the Ai family! The Ai family is already The Queen Mother, and the third elder brother is also the grandson of the Ai family, how could the Ai family harm him?"

In fact, Emperor Yuande was deceiving the Empress Dowager about this matter. He knew everything beforehand and asked the late emperor about it, which is all nonsense. Emperor Yuande had never seen her before, but he just looked familiar. He seemed to have seen her somewhere, and he thought of the Queen Mother.

I didn't expect it was really the Queen Mother...

"Yes, you are already the Queen Mother, so why bother?" Emperor Yuande said with great disappointment and loneliness, "Do you regret that it was me who sat on the throne instead of your biological son? What is the difference between your grandson and your grandson now? No grandson! But this sixth brother doesn’t have a family either, you..."

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother shouted loudly, "What did the emperor say! If so, why did the Ai family support you to rise to power back then? Although the Ai family is not your biological mother, they have the kindness to raise you and think they treat you well. Why do you say that now!"

"I don't want this either," Emperor Yuande stood up and looked up at the Bodhisattva enshrined in the hall. "Then how do you explain this badge?"

The Queen Mother said angrily, "This waist badge disappeared half a year ago. I don't even know when it was lost."

"Who dares to steal the Queen Mother's things? It's really a life-threatening situation," Emperor Yuande snorted, "But why did this thief just steal this badge and not steal anything else?"

"How does the Ai family know this! What does the emperor mean by this!" The Queen Mother said angrily, "The Ai family says that this matter has nothing to do with the Ai family. The emperor is too suspicious!"
