Under Su Juan's gaze, the Minister of War said, "I have a nephew from a distant place, who is about thirty years old. How about I host you today and arrange for you to meet him?"

Su Juan smiled, "I appreciate Minister Nie's kindness, but I am only focused on my official duties and have no time for romance. I am sorry to have caused Minister Nie to worry."

[It's so funny, your distant nephew, what do I want? Do I want him to be as old as you and not take a bath? ]

Someone laughed out loud.

The old emperor was also laughing, which made the eunuch beside him look puzzled.

The Minister of War didn't really want to show off to Su Juan, he just wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate her. His nephew was a fool. After all, who would want a divorced woman?

But at this moment Su Juan didn't respond to him at all, so he couldn't finish the rest of the words. He held it in his throat for a long time before he could utter a single sentence.

"Although my nephew is older and dumber than you, you have been divorced once after all. Mr. Yuanwailang, please listen to my advice and stop being picky."

The Minister of War said this with great sincerity, as if he was really thinking about Su Juan.

Su Juan laughed to death, "Although I have been divorced before, I have never gone to the extent of looking for an old man."

[It seems that the Minister of War has not bathed for a long time. The mud on his face is as thick as a wall. Who is he embarrassing by showing off to his nephew who is in his thirties? ]

[When anyone is your wife, how can they look down on you? 】

Su Juan's words once again made the Minister of War furious.

"Su Juan, please don't be so ungrateful. My nephew is so good, how can he not be worthy of you?"

He couldn't believe it. Su Juan was a divorced woman. It would be nice if someone wanted her, but she actually picked him?!

Seeing the Minister of War's face turn black with anger, Su Juan was puzzled. [Why is the Minister of War so irritated? I just said a few words of truth. It's not a big deal. Why is he so cold-hearted? ]

She sighed slightly, "I am an ignorant person. Minister Nie, please keep this blessing for yourself. I am sorry that I am not worthy enough to enjoy it."

[Well, if your nephew is so good, then just keep him for yourself. Your wife doesn't want you anymore anyway, so you can live with your nephew. It's not impossible.]

At this moment, the Minister of War was so angry that his head ached, but he could do nothing about Su Juan. She was the emperor's man, and even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to do anything.

The crowd watching shook their heads. Why did the Minister of War go up to ask for this trouble? It has been so long, doesn't he know what Su Juan is talking about?

So far, I have never seen anyone who can get any benefit by confronting that mouth.

Just then, someone from the Queen's palace came again and once again invited Su Juan to have dinner with her.

At this time, Su Juan was full of energy and could not refuse, so she had to follow him.

Compared to the last time she came, Su Juan found that the food was more abundant. There was a variety of food, almost all of which were her favorites, which showed that it had been prepared long ago.

Seeing her coming, the queen was delighted and her eyes became kind, "Sit down and take a look. Is there anything you like to eat?"

Su Juan looked at the dozen dishes in front of her with a complicated look, many of which were her favorites at the Duke's Mansion. Could it be that all the Xies had similar tastes?

Or was it that this table of food was prepared based on prior inquiries?

Su Juan smiled slightly, "These are all my favorite foods. I am sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty."

[If I didn’t know, I would have thought that the menu of dishes from the Duke’s Mansion was copied. ]

The queen looked at the little girl in front of her with gentle eyes. She looked well-behaved. In fact, if you look closely, you can find that she looks about 60% like herself when she was young. No wonder she felt so acquainted with her the first time she saw her.

While Su Juan was eating, she looked up from time to time and met the Queen's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, because there were so many puzzling emotions in the Queen's eyes.

The queen looked at Su Juan steadily, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

Su Juan was stunned. Could it be that the Queen found out?

Impossible, impossible...If the Queen had found out, she would have told it long ago.

Su Juan ate absent-mindedly during the meal until the Queen said, "It's really boring for me to be alone in this palace. Will it delay your work if I call you here?"

Su Juan felt relieved, [It turns out that the queen was bored and lonely, and wanted to find someone to talk to her. ]

[I told you, it’s really scary. ]

She smiled with curved lips, "It won't delay you. It is my humble servant's blessing to be able to chat with Your Majesty."

"Are you used to working in the Ministry of Revenue?"

"I'm used to it."

The queen smiled and said, "If your mother knew that she had a promising daughter like you, she would be very pleased."

Su Juan nodded, "Maybe."

The queen continued the conversation, wanting to know more about Su Juan and her daughter. "What kind of person is your mother?"

The nanny beside her was a little worried, thinking that the queen's question was too direct.

Su Juan didn't think too much about it. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and tried to recall. After a while, she slowly said, "She is a miserable person."

The queen was startled, "Why do you say that?"

Su Juan looked at the dignified queen in front of her and her heart softened. She told her everything about her biological mother.

She thought that even if the queen could not recognize her daughter, at least she knew about her daughter.

Su Juan's biological mother was a remarkable woman who could do everything well. She was able to make her business flourish and was also a good housekeeper, unlike other women in Beijing at that time.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Su Juan had always felt that she should be a phoenix soaring in the sky, having a sky of her own and flying freely, instead of having her wings broken and being trapped in the square courtyard of the Su Mansion and engaging in intrigues with other women.

It was not difficult for the Queen to see from Su Juan's words that she was amazed and regretful about her mother.

She suddenly asked, "What about your father? Why haven't you ever mentioned him?"

When Master Su was mentioned, Su Juan's expression changed, although she was still smiling, "He is not someone worth mentioning."

[Mentioning that kind of heartless man will only pollute your ears. ]

"Then let's not mention it." Seeing that Su Juan was unwilling to mention it, the queen had everything figured out in her mind. Her daughter married the wrong person and her life was ruined.

She looked at Su Juan in front of her, and thought of the emperor's previous marriage arrangement. She was still worried, fearing that her granddaughter would also marry the wrong man like her daughter.

"Su Qing, you don't have to worry about your past. If he is truly your good lover, he won't care about your past. If he is not your good lover, you can't force him to be your good lover."

Su Juan blinked, [I'm not worried, when did I become worried? ]

The queen paused and said slowly, "In fact, a woman's life is not only about getting married. It's good to have a husband and children... It's also good if you don't have them."

Su Juan was slightly stunned, [So the Queen regrets marrying the old emperor? ]

At this time, outside the palace, the old emperor hurried over after learning that the queen had prepared delicious food to entertain Su Juan. Upon hearing this, he stopped and his hands suddenly clenched under his dragon robe.

Did the Queen...repent?
