In fact, this was asking An Lirong why she brought Fu Liu to see her. An Lirong also understood what Su Mengyan meant.
With a slight smile, she replied, "Her Majesty, perhaps you have forgotten that I, Sister Fu Liu, and I already live together, and I thought we were all sisters, and since Her Majesty likes to see the harem and the curtain, we came together."
This was said very beautifully, explaining the reason for bringing Fu Liu along, and also praising Su Mengyan.
After finishing her words, An Lirong signaled Fu Liu with her eyes again. Fu Liu received An Lirong's gaze and suddenly seemed to remember something.
She quickly stood up and walked to Su Mengyan and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what else I can do. I can only do some small things like serving tea and water for you."
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and added tea to Su Mengyan's cup. However, it was the first time for Fu Liu to be so close to Su Mengyan, and he felt his heart pounding.
In her nervousness, she knocked over the teacup. Fu Liu was so frightened that she wanted to kneel down and apologize: "I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Queen."
You know, she came here today just to curry favor with Su Mengyan, but now not only did she fail to do so, she even knocked over her teacup. She didn't know what Su Mengyan would think.
Su Mengyan looked at Fu Liu like this and hurriedly stopped her from kneeling: "An promised that we are all sisters. You should just relax a little. Why do you have to kneel like this?"
Fu Liu felt grateful. He had been punished to kneel by the Queen that day, and he had always thought that the Queen was a very strict person. He never expected that she would say such words now.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Fu Liu couldn't help but look up and secretly glanced at Su Mengyan, and her action also completely exposed her appearance in Su Mengyan's eyes.
Su Mengyan was shocked by this and felt that this person looked very similar to herself.
Not to mention the difference in their temperament, just looking at their facial features and eyebrows, they are almost 70% alike.
This forced Su Mengyan to pay attention, but she only had thoughts in her mind and did not show anything on her face.
She knew that An Lirong had brought Fu Liu here because she wanted Fu Liu to join her. Although she didn't know why An Lirong had such an idea, for Su Mengyan, having one more friend was always better than having one more enemy.
So, Su Mengyan said, "Since you take me seriously, I will naturally not ignore you. However, I don't like trouble. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, everything will be fine."
Seeing Su Mengyan being so straightforward, An Lirong smiled slightly. She knew that as long as she brought Fu Liu with her, Su Mengyan would definitely not refuse Fu Liu's surrender.
Fu Liu immediately knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Queen, I will never cause any trouble."
"Okay, didn't I tell you not to kneel down all the time?" Su Mengyan felt helpless and had to let Fu Liu stand up again.
The news of the Queen's pregnancy became a hot topic in an instant. Not only did people in the palace know about it, but even the families of ministers outside the palace knew about it.
So those who were thoughtful immediately thought of coming to give Su Mengyan some gifts, congratulate her, and improve their favor in front of Su Mengyan.
You have to know that no matter what, Su Mengyan is the Queen Mother after all. If you can establish a good relationship with the Queen Mother, then your position may be more stable.
And those ladies whose daughters entered the palace wanted to curry favor with Su Mengyan and asked Su Mengyan to protect their daughters so that they would not be framed by others.
So for a while, there was a constant stream of people coming and going in Su Mengyan's palace.
Most of these people were the wives of ministers and the mothers of concubines in the palace.
Su Mengyan understood very well the purpose of their coming.
Therefore, I was only polite to these people on the surface, but I didn't really care about them.
On this day, a palace maid came to report that someone else came to congratulate her. Su Mengyan was already quite tired of this matter, but it was not easy to just chase the person away, so she could only greet him again.
"The Queen is well." The cheerful voice of the visitor made Su Mengyan's originally impatient mood improve a little.
She had long seen enough of those ladies' roundabout ways of testing people, and that feeling made her very tired.
The visitor was General Chen’s wife, and also the mother of Chen Yalan, the concubine in the palace.
"Please take a seat, Madam Chen." Su Mengyan smiled as she asked the general's wife to sit down, and then asked the palace maid to serve tea.
"Congratulations, Her Majesty. How are you feeling?" Madam Chen started by asking about Su Mengyan's health, which surprised Su Mengyan a little. However, in just a moment, she figured out that she was a little different from other ladies.
Even if those ladies wanted to take care of their own health, they would still go around in circles before asking whether they were well.
Undoubtedly, Mrs. Chen's direct concern made Su Mengyan like her even more.
"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Chen."
The two continued to talk for a few more words, and then Madam Chen said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Your Majesty, you also know that my Yalan has just entered the palace. If there is anything I have done wrong, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Su Mengyan smiled slightly: "What are you talking about, Madam Chen? Since you have entered the palace, you and I are sisters. What do you mean by tolerance or not?"
Seeing this, Madam Chen continued, "Actually, I want Her Majesty to take better care of Yalan. She's too straightforward and easily offends people."
Oh, Su Mengyan looked at Madam Chen. Yes, with such an upright mother, Chen Yalan must be a very straightforward person. In the harem, this kind of personality is naturally very easy to arouse hatred.
It was nothing more than a casual help, so Su Mengyan immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Madam Chen, if you need my help, I will certainly not ignore it."
After Mrs. Chen left, more people came, and Lu Xian's mother also came.
Lu Xian's mother brought a bonsai and said to Su Mengyan, "I don't know what the Queen likes, so I took the initiative to bring a bonsai that I like. I hope the Queen will not dislike it."
It has to be said that bonsai is indeed not a good gift, but given Su Mengyan's current status, what is there that she feels is out of reach?
On the contrary, it was this simple thing that made Su Mengyan feel more at home.
"Mrs. Lu, you are too polite. I think this bonsai is very much to my liking." Su Mengyan looked at the flowers in the pot. The flowers were gorgeous and bloomed very beautifully, which showed the owner's intentions.
