Chapter 130 Mrs. Shen's Worry
The two of them left Rongle Palace together, and Song Qingyan said, "Madam Shen, how about I let this maid lead the way for you?"
Seeing the Imperial Concubine like this, Madam Shen wanted to talk to her more. Her daughter ascended the throne to the Empress by surpassing the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine really cared about this, what would she do if she bullied Ning'er in the palace in the future? Although the Imperial Concubine's temper when she was a concubine was known to everyone in the capital, who knew if she would change after entering the palace for so many years?
Fortunately, I am older and have met more people, so I will definitely give it a try on my daughter.
Then she said, "I have long heard of the great name of the Imperial Concubine. Today I see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to drink a cup of tea from her."
His words were full of humility.
Song Qingyan knew that Madam Shen might have something to say to her, so she raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Of course."
After entering Qingyun Palace, Madam Shen exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business: "Your Majesty, Shen Ning has only been in the palace for a short time, but unexpectedly he has passed you by. I am really terrified."
Lu Xingwan on the side couldn't help but mutter.
[I think these women are very scheming, and they are no worse than their husbands.]
[No wonder I prefer these palace and house fighting stories. I thought they were fictional, but unexpectedly they are real.]
[It is unfair for these women to have to make a living in the back house. In my opinion, it would be good for them to serve as officials in the court.]
[This Concubine Ning is a scheming woman. She thinks her mother is pretty good, so she followed her all the way to Qingyun Palace. She is afraid that her mother will embarrass her daughter, so she came to test her mother!]
【Speaking of which, it is indeed pitiful for all parents in the world. 】
Listening to Lu Xingwan's inner thoughts, Song Qingyan couldn't help but sigh that her daughter, at such a young age, had such an old-fashioned demeanor that she would be a suitable nanny to preach to.
However, her tone towards Madam Shen was a little colder. She had always been reluctant to speculate with others. She could understand Madam Shen's panic now. It would be better to be direct and reassure her: "Madam Shen, there is no need to be like this. I know what you mean. Just rest assured. I will definitely not be jealous because of this matter and play tricks on the Empress."
Hearing what the Imperial Concubine said, Madam Shen panicked. She didn't expect that her purpose had been seen through. What was even more unexpected was that the Imperial Concubine would directly expose the matter.
He immediately knelt down in a hurry.
Jinyu, who was standing by, got the imperial concubine's signal, stepped forward, supported Madam Shen and helped her up.
Song Qingyan just shook her head: "Mrs. Shen, don't worry. When the Queen Mother and His Majesty chose the Empress, they also discussed it with me. I think it's a good idea."
Seeing that the Imperial Concubine was so direct, Madam Shen stopped trying to hide her feelings and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand. It was my fault for making malicious assumptions about Your Majesty. Please punish me."
"Mrs. Shen is a mother, and I am also a mother, so I understand Mrs. Shen's difficulties."
Mrs. Shen was even more grateful when she saw this: "The Empress is young, and it is inevitable that she will offend people in the palace. I beg you to help her deal with it."
Lu Xingwan on the side couldn't help but curl his lips.
[Mrs. Shen does have a loving motherly heart, but whether your daughter appreciates it or not is another matter.]
[Speaking of which, I used to like Lady Ning very much. She even saved my life, but later on she really changed. She became unrecognizable to me. It was as if she had suddenly become a different person.]
The Imperial Concubine could not say anything else, so she just responded, "Don't worry, Madam Shen. As long as the Empress needs it, I am willing to help."
After Madam Shen left Qingyun Palace, Jin Xin hurried to Song Qingyan and said, "Madam, when Madam Shen asked you to help the Queen, our Princess Yong'an actually smirked, as if she understood what we said and didn't believe what Madam Shen said!"
"Our Princess Yong'an is really smart. Now she can understand what we are saying!"
"Of course," Song Qingyan said with pride, "Our Wanwan has always been the smartest."
Meanwhile, back at the Jinxiu Palace, Shen Ning learned early in the morning that her mother would be entering the palace today, but she was not looking forward to it at all.
Yunlan couldn't help but complain in her heart, could it be that the relationship between her queen and Madam Shen is not good? But she heard that the queen is Madam Shen's only daughter, so how could the mother and daughter not get along?
However, he did not show it on his face. He just followed the Empress's instructions and came to wait for Madam Shen outside Rongle Palace early. However, he saw that Madam Shen had gone to Qingyun Palace with the Imperial Concubine.
Yun Lan, who wanted to go up and pay his respects, stopped and turned around and ran back to the Jinxiu Palace.
"Your Majesty," Yun Lan calmed down before entering the inner room, "Your Majesty, I will wait outside Rongle Palace. The Imperial Concubine is also in Rongle Palace today. I see that Shen... Madam Shen followed the Imperial Concubine to Qingyun Palace."
Yunzhu, who was serving beside him, frowned and said, "Qingyun Palace? Are you seeing things?"
Although Yunlan was dissatisfied with Yunzhu, she would not show it in front of the queen. She only replied respectfully: "Don't worry, sister Yunzhu, I will definitely be right."
Shen Ning didn't care and simply said, "Go wait outside Qingyun Palace."
After Yunlan left Jinxiu Palace, Yunzhu stepped forward and asked, "What did Madam Shen do in Qingyun Palace, Madam? Could it be that she got up......"
Before Yunzhu could finish her words, Shen Ning glared back at her fiercely. She quickly covered her mouth and dared not say another word.
Shen Ning was also thinking because of Yunzhu's words.
Mrs. Shen has always been like this. Anyway, she is doing this for your own good, so there is no need to argue with her about it.
Yunlan received Madam Shen at Qingyun Palace as she wished: "Madam asked our queen to wait for a long time. The queen has been looking forward to meeting Madam since yesterday."
"Really?" Madam Shen was naturally happy to hear that Shen Ning was looking forward to seeing her. Her daughter had not been close to her for a long time. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar maid who came to greet her, she asked, "Why didn't Yunping, who used to serve the Majesty, come to greet me?"
"To answer Madam, Yun Ping made some mistakes and cannot come out to see people. Madam, please don't mention it again." After saying this, she bowed to Madam Shen and said, "I am Yun Lan. Now it is Yun Zhu and I who serve Madam."
Mrs. Shen was extremely surprised. Yunping used to serve Ning'er in the family, but she must have made some mistake that caused her to no longer be able to appear.
Ning'er has really changed. If it were in the past, Ning'er would have risked her life to protect Yunping.
But he did not dare to say anything. Now that Ning'er was the empress, he would have to pay respects even if he met her, let alone punish a palace maid.
