Emperor Donglin stepped forward with a smile and bowed slightly, "Your son respectfully welcomes your mother back to the palace!"
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Donglin and nodded, then said with a smile, "Emperor, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight!"
As the king of a country, he is inevitably busy with government affairs every day.
Although she came back to ask Emperor Donglin for an explanation, the empress dowager couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw his thin face and the filter of being a mother.
Xiao Ruoyi couldn't help but shiver when she heard the Queen Mother's words. She tilted her head and looked at the energetic Emperor Donglin, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
[Although Daddy is a little thin, he looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. How did he become thin? He obviously has a good figure! Is he going to become a greasy man with a big belly? That's too eye-catching! ]
Emperor Dong Lin, "..." Although I don't know what greasy man means, it must be a bad word! The little girl is still the most discerning. He doesn't want to be a greasy man, he must be thin!
He complained about his little girl in his heart, but ever since the little girl spoke, Emperor Donglin had been paying attention to the changes in the empress dowager's expression. However, when he saw that the empress dowager's expression did not change, a look of doubt flashed across his face. Why did it seem like his mother didn't hear Yiyi's voice?
But didn't the emperor's younger brother hear it too? Why couldn't the queen mother do the same? Was it because of the generation gap?
Emperor Donglin was puzzled, but he did not show it. He just smiled and supported the Queen Mother's other arm, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I am not that thin, I am fine!"
...
...
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, her face full of pride, "Yes, yes, yes!"
The empress dowager's elegant face was filled with a brilliant smile, and she didn't look like she was going to come back to settle accounts with Emperor Donglin.
When Concubine Hui saw Emperor Donglin, she smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Emperor Donglin nodded, "Well, thanks to you for taking care of the Queen Mother during this period!"
The Queen Mother had a loving smile on her face. She held Hui Fei's delicate hand and said, "This time it is also thanks to Jing Er's care. Emperor, you must treat Jing Er well!"
"This is what I should do!" Concubine Hui said gently with a shy smile on her face.
The Queen Mother gently patted the back of Concubine Hui's hand and said lovingly, "In my heart, there is no difference between you and my biological daughter!"
Concubine Hui smiled and lowered her head, glancing at Emperor Donglin, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
Looking at the appearance of the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui, Xiao Ruoyi, who was holding Concubine Liang's hand, couldn't help rolling her eyes and secretly complained in her heart, "Pretend! If you go to act, you will definitely win the Oscar for Best Actress!"
Prince Jin stood behind Emperor Donglin and nodded secretly, agreeing very much with his niece's words.
This Concubine Hui has been loved by her mother since she was a child, but he knows that Concubine Hui is not a gentle and kind woman!
If he hadn't accidentally seen Concubine Hui treating a kitten cruelly, he wouldn't have believed it.
But I didn’t expect that my little niece saw through it at a glance.
As soon as Xiao Ruoyi spoke her mind, Emperor Donglin's gaze unconsciously fell on Concubine Hui's gentle and virtuous face, trying to find out something fishy.
"Are you feeling better, my dear?"
One of the main reasons why the Empress Dowager went to the temple to pray was because of Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui was unable to get over the "pain" of losing her child, which made the Empress Dowager very distressed.
So the empress dowager took her to the temple to relax. Who would have thought that this relaxation period would last so long, giving Concubine Liang a chance to catch her breath.
Concubine Hui showed a forced smile and lowered her head slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now!"
Anyone could see that he was trying hard to hold on, but Emperor Donglin's expression did not change, because he heard Xiao Ruoyi's voice again.
[These women in the harem really have the acting skills of a movie queen! They knew that the child in their belly could not be saved, but they still used him to deal with their mother! Fortunately, you didn't stay in the palace, otherwise I would not be able to see this world! ]
Prince Jin looked at her in shock and bit the thumb that was in his mouth.
I really didn't expect that I would encounter such a big surprise as soon as I returned to the palace!
Were the events back then so tortuous?
Didn't they say that Duke Lu and Concubine Shu deliberately framed Concubine Liang in order to help the Third Prince seize the throne? How come even Concubine Hui is involved in the false accusation now?
But now think about it, how could a woman as cruel as Concubine Hui let Concubine Liang go so easily?
It turned out that the child was not good to begin with, and she used him to target the favored Concubine Liang and seek benefits for herself!
Emperor Donglin narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and he sneered in his heart, "Good! Very good! What a great Concubine Hui!"
Before, he thought that Concubine Hui was innocently involved in the incident between Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, and felt guilty towards her. In order to appease her, he gave her the position of Concubine Hui.
Afterwards, Concubine Hui wanted to use the child to win back Emperor Donglin's heart, so she pretended to be weak and heartbroken. However, the empress dowager, who loved her, "interfered" and took her out of the palace to relax.
But now the little girl said that she took advantage of the situation and framed Concubine Liang!
That must be true! I never expected that the women in his harem would have such deep thoughts.
Emperor Donglin lost his initial gentleness in an instant, and his tone became a little colder, "Well, it's okay as long as you're okay!"
Concubine Hui was slightly stunned by the change in Emperor Donglin's tone. She looked up at Emperor Donglin in confusion, not understanding why the emperor suddenly became cold to her?
Emperor Donglin didn't even look at Concubine Hui, "Mother, I have already prepared a welcoming banquet for you!"
"good!"
The Queen Mother immediately showed a satisfied smile on her face.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother!"
The Queen and her harem of concubines, princes and princesses paid their respects to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. She glanced around and when she saw Concubine Liang in the crowd, her expression turned cold and she asked in a cold voice without giving any face, "Emperor, why did you let her out?"
The queen and the other concubines in the harem all lowered their heads and laughed in secret, gloating.
Sure enough, they guessed right!
Once the Queen Mother came back, they had no chance to take action at all, and Concubine Liang was in trouble!
Concubine Liang's heart tightened suddenly, and she immediately knelt on the ground, lowered her head and did not dare to look at the empress dowager, let alone say a word to defend herself, for fear that saying one more word would only make the empress dowager even angrier.
Emperor Donglin was slightly stunned. He never expected that the Queen Mother would embarrass Concubine Liang in public.
However, Emperor Donglin was prepared for this and explained softly, "Mother, the case has been investigated. It was Duke Lu and Concubine Shu who deliberately framed Concubine Liang for status. Concubine Liang is innocent!"
"Innocent?" The Queen Mother sneered, "If Concubine Shu and the others didn't want to frame her, would they have harmed Jing'er's child?"
