Su Zhiruan followed the palace maid into Cining Palace.

Cining Palace was very quiet at this time. After walking in, Su Zhiruan saw the queen mother and the noble concubine.

She was very calm, and then saluted, "Slave, please see the Queen Mother, please see the Imperial Concubine."

The Queen Mother did not ask her to get up immediately, but looked at the tea cup for a while.

Su Zhiruan looks very upright. When she traveled through time, she also saw her own appearance in the bronze mirror. If we use modern terms, it is a face of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

Her appearance is different from that of the concubine, who tends to be coquettish. She kneels upright, but gives people a clear and clear feeling.

It has to be said that the Queen Mother's favorability towards her has soared. People like this kind of person who is neither humble nor arrogant will like her as long as they take one look at her.

"Su Su, why are you so proud and happy eating the cakes His Majesty gave you?" The imperial concubine choked directly. She was not polite at all. Her tone was like a gun and a stick. She even wanted to beat her right now. On death row, "I see a lowly servant like you, so I should——"

Halfway through her words, she was stopped by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly. The imperial concubine had been secretly observing the Queen Mother. After all, her biggest support now was the Queen Mother.

"Su Su, as her name suggests, she doesn't seem to be someone who gets into trouble," the Queen Mother warned first, then smiled, picked up a grape from a colorful glass plate filled with flowers, and said in a slow tone, "The Ai family and To be honest, before I saw you, I thought you were a nuisance that caused the emperor to neglect his political affairs, but——"

The Queen Mother's words were pronounced in a very long tone, enough to make people feel ups and downs in their hearts. If someone was not in a good state of mind, he might have been frightened by the shock at this time, but Su Zhiruan knelt upright, his face There is not a trace of emotional fluctuations.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "However, after the Ai family met you in person, they realized that this rumor might be a bit misunderstood. You are a good boy, and it is okay to stay with the emperor, but you must advise the emperor to get rid of rain and dew. If this Yue, the emperor still hasn’t gone to the harem, then the Ai family will not be able to tolerate you."

This is a trap.

Su Zhiruan had been a laborer all her life, so she naturally knew that these seemingly ordinary orders were a trap set for her.

The emperor didn't like the harem to begin with. How could he let a little palace maid make his decision?

Naturally, the Queen Mother had this in mind. She shook her fan slowly and continued with a smile: "Of course, the Ai family are not ruthless people. There is another option."

"Aunt! What choice do you give her! I think this is the one just now. If you finish it, you can keep it. If you don't finish it, you will go to death row! I think it's very good!" When the imperial concubine heard that the queen mother had two choices, she immediately looked at her with disdain. He glanced at Su Zhiruan and then looked at the Queen Mother.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," the Queen Mother smiled as if she were a kind old man. She couldn't tell the way she looked when she just gave the order to Su Zhiruan. "The second option is to conceive the emperor's heir. If you do If you reach this point, you will be a great contributor to the dynasty."

Upon hearing this condition, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't worried now.

The emperor had been in power for five years and had more than 300 concubines in the harem. In the past few years, not one concubine had even become pregnant.

Asking Su Zhiruan to complete it within a month is basically the same as asking the goldfish in the imperial garden to learn court etiquette in a month. It is simply impossible.

At this moment, the old nun at the door walked in and saluted, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty has sent someone here."

The Queen Mother later became somewhat interested.

The plan of bringing her here was to kill three birds with one stone. The first was to let the imperial concubine vent her anger. The second was to see what Su Su was capable of and then find a way to solve it or turn a deaf ear to the emperor. The third was to think Look at her status in the emperor's heart.

"Let people come in." The Queen Mother said to the old nanny, and then turned to look at Su Zhiruan, "You can get back on your feet first."

Su Zhiruan Yiyan stood up and stood aside, not even swaying his body.

She is very good at etiquette and can even be said to be one of the best in the entire dynasty.

The young eunuch walked in from the door and went to the outer hall some distance away from the Queen Mother. He knelt down and saluted, "Slave, see the Queen Mother, see the Imperial Concubine."

"Get up." The Queen Mother waved her fan and said in a dignified tone, "What did the Emperor want you to say?"

"Back to your Majesty, the Emperor asked his servant to tell the Queen Mother: He knows that Miss Susu is with you. If you are unhappy, just kill her at will. There is no need to test Your Majesty."

After Su Zhiruan heard these words, instead of crying and feeling sad and despairing, he actually admired in his heart.

As the saying goes, a child is better known than a mother, and vice versa, a mother is better known than a son. The one who knows his mother best is definitely Shen Qi.

Although this was her first time seeing the Queen Mother, she could see something from just a few words.

If Shen Qi wanted to take her away in a big way, the mother and son would definitely have a grudge against each other, and she would never be better off. On the contrary, after saying such words, the Queen Mother would think that she was an unimportant and transparent person. Forget about it after a while.

After hearing this, the imperial concubine also beamed with joy. She looked at Su Zhiruan triumphantly and began to play with her armor. "It turns out that the emperor doesn't care about you, a little maid. It's really a waste of worry. Go back."

The Queen Mother knew her son's character, and the words he sent to spread the message may be true or may be lies told to save Su Su.

But it could also be his true attitude.

These two speculations left the Queen Mother uncertain.

After thinking about it, she felt that she was really busy. Now she was the Queen Mother, and she was no longer just a lowly servant like Gong Dou before. How much trouble could she make? Thinking about this, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go back. , serve the emperor well."

The young eunuch and Su Zhiruan saluted at the same time, "I take my leave, my servant."

Su Zhiruan followed the young eunuch and walked out of the front door of Cining Palace.

After walking for a long time, the little eunuch said, "Miss Susu, please go back to His Majesty quickly. In fact, His Majesty wanted to come in person just now, and then sent his servants after walking for a while."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Su Zhiruan did not expect that Shen Qi would decide to come in person at first. This was beyond her expectation. After all, their relationship was only the spring breeze last night. Logically speaking, as the emperor, an ordinary palace maid No need to make a big show of rescue.

Soon, the imperial study room arrived.

The little eunuch's mission today was in the back hall, so he left first.

Su Zhiruan walked lightly into the imperial study, then saluted, "See your Majesty."

Shen Qi knew it was her, so he just smoothed his sleeves, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her lightly, "Back? Come back and grind ink for me."

Su Zhiruan stood up, consciously walked to his side and began to study the ink skillfully.

When no one noticed, Shen Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
