Chapter 289 Madam Shen Enters the Palace Again

She only needs to provide appropriate help when the prince needs it.

Seeing his mother's determination, Lu Xingwan simply gave up and walked towards Qingyun Palace with Jinxin carrying him.

This trip was quite a coincidence.

Song Qingyan unexpectedly ran into Shen Ning's mother again.

Moreover, she was on her way out of the palace and didn't even have a sedan chair.

Although Song Qingyan was used to not riding in a sedan chair in the palace, that was because she had been in a military camp before, so her pace was naturally faster.

It's not that close from the Jinxiu Palace to the palace gate.

"Greetings to the Royal Concubine." Mrs. Shen naturally recognized Song Qingyan, and hurried forward to pay her respects.

Song Qingyan had a good impression of Mrs. Shen.

Or in other words, she had a good impression of everyone in the Shen family except Shen Ning.

He smiled and thought to her: "It's not close from Jinxiu Palace to the palace gate. Why doesn't Madam Shen take a sedan chair?"

Mrs. Shen then realized that her daughter had not arranged a sedan chair for her.

She really doesn't care about her mother at all now.

But she was her daughter after all. She could ignore her, but she could not harm her: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I wanted to take a walk in the palace, so I refused the Empress's sedan chair."

Song Qingyan just smiled. She didn't really care about the truth of the matter.

The one who sent Madam Shen out was Yunlan, who was beside the Queen. Now she had no time to listen to what Madam Shen and the Royal Concubine said.

He just stared in the direction of Jinxin in a daze.

It seems that Jinxin's life is indeed hard.

The Royal Concubine usually didn't ride in a sedan chair, so Jinxin and Jinyu were so tired that they could only hold Princess Yongan and jog behind her.

It seems that Jinxin was right. These ladies don't take their servants seriously.

Just when Song Qingyan was about to say goodbye to Madam Shen, Madam Shen suddenly said, "I wonder if I can go to the Royal Concubine's Palace and sit for a while."

Although Song Qingyan was surprised by her request, she quickly agreed: "Please come in, Madam Shen!"

Seeing this, Jin Xin turned around and told Yun Lan: "Sister Yun Lan, please go back and tell the Empress that we will escort Madam Shen out of the palace later."

Yunlan had a good first impression of Jinxin, so she did not reject her request. She just smiled, bowed to Song Qingyan and others, and turned to go to Jinxiu Palace.

But Yunlan didn't expect that she would be scolded after returning to the palace.

Not to mention the Empress, even Miss Yueran, who was usually calm in the face of humiliation, looked unfriendly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Yue Ran looked at the Empress with a serious face.

After Yue Ran came to Jinxiu Palace, Shen Ning's mood had actually stabilized a lot. Now she was also angry: "If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of having you in the palace!"

"Anyway, you are old enough, so you might as well just leave the palace."

Shen Ning's words were indeed spoken in anger, but Yun Lan took them to heart.

If the Empress is dissatisfied with me, she will definitely drive me out of the palace. Then I will be free to marry and will not be trapped in this deep palace.

Yue Ran was still very worried: "Madam, now that Madam Shen has gone to Qingyun Palace, I'm afraid that person in Qingyun Palace will interrogate her."

Shen Ning thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed: "Forget it, anyway, Mrs. Shen doesn't know anything about us, so let her talk to them."

While people in Jinxiu Palace were extremely anxious, Madam Shen was already sitting peacefully in Qingyun Palace drinking tea.

"I heard that Madam Shen's family is from the northwest. This is the tea that my father brought from there. Madam, please try it." Song Qingyan actually had no other intentions, she just liked Madam Shen in her heart.

He was also very satisfied with her son Shen Xiao, so he became closer to her.

Hearing that it was tea from her hometown, Madam Shen hurriedly picked up the cup and tasted it. She looked up at Song Qingyan in surprise and said, "It is just as the queen said."

Having said this, he sighed again.

"Neither of my two children is worry-free." Perhaps it was this cup of tea that opened Mrs. Shen's heart. She actually started talking about family matters to Song Qingyan, as if she was a person of the same age.

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh.

[My mother is really popular now. When I was just a few months old, I loved to stick to her.]

[Even a middle-aged woman like Mrs. Shen likes you very much! ]

But no one responded.

Of course, no one should respond, after all, these are just Wanwan’s inner thoughts.

Sometimes Song Qingyan really found it hard to bear.

Mrs. Shen continued to mutter, "My son Shen Xiao is already in his twenties, but he refuses to marry and start a family. He only wants to stay in the military camp."

"The Marquis was so busy with military affairs, but he still remembered to bring some tea for the queen. How could he be so busy that he didn't even have this little snack."

After hearing this, Song Qingyan suddenly laughed: "Those who know it say that Madam Shen cares about her son, while those who don't know it think that Madam Shen is angry with Shen Xiao because of that sip of tea!"

"Don't worry, Madam Shen. I used to be familiar with Shen Xiao. I will send a letter tomorrow and ask my brother to find a marriage for him."

"That's great!" Mrs. Shen stood up excitedly and held Song Qingyan's hand.

But the moment he held her hand, he suddenly thought of his daughter.

Suddenly he lowered his head again.

[Hahaha, mother, this Madam Shen is quite funny. She seems like a sunflower that needs the sun to shine on it.]

[Mother, you may not know. Let Wanwan explain it to you. The so-called sunflower is the one that faces the sun. Naturally, it faces the direction where the sun is.]

[If the sun is gone, its head will droop.]

[Mother, look, does she look like the current Madam Shen? ]

Song Qingyan couldn't help smiling when she saw Lu Xingwan shaking her head while explaining Sunflower to her. Look at this little girl, at such a young age, she has the potential to be a senior scholar!

Madam Shen naturally would not participate in the "conversation" between the mother and daughter, and just continued to say her own words: "The Empress has caused a lot of trouble for the Royal Concubine in the palace, right?"

Song Qingyan didn't expect Mrs. Shen to suddenly bring this up.

She originally thought that she and Mrs. Shen had similar interests and that Mrs. Shen would not bring up these matters lightly.

But I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to be so direct.

But when Mrs. Shen asked this question, she couldn't answer it.

If we talk about the relationship between himself and Shen Ning, it can be described as being like water and fire.

But when facing Mrs. Shen, she always said not to say it, and just smiled and shook her head.

The last time Madam Shen entered the palace, she was also concerned about Shen Ning's enthronement as queen.

It is really hard to refuse a mother's love.
