When the emperor saw that his mother ignored him, he stood up with a smile and sat down on the other side of the empress dowager.
The emperor also asked Zhou Qiongyue and the other two to sit down quickly.
After Zhou Qiongyue, Yuan Bohua, and Prince Rong sat down at the bottom, the emperor persuaded the empress dowager again, mainly talking about how good the palace was, hoping that the empress dowager would change her mind and return to live in the palace.
The emperor kept nagging for a while, but not only did he fail to move the empress dowager, he also annoyed her.
The Queen Mother impatiently interrupted the Emperor's persuasion, "Alright, I'm living well in the other courtyard. Your Majesty, don't try to trick me back into the palace. I've lived in the palace for so many years, I've had enough."
After the empress dowager finished speaking, she was still afraid that the emperor would say something more, so she quickly ordered someone to bring the mother and daughter in.
When Kong Xinlian and her daughter woke up in the morning, someone had already taught them the proper etiquette.
So Kong Xinlian and her daughter bowed as soon as they came in, "I bow to the Empress Dowager, I bow to the Emperor..."
Li Shuwan followed suit, but she was a little timid and only kowtowed. She opened her mouth but didn't dare to speak.
The Queen Mother did not shout immediately, but instead asked someone to take out the jade pendant, "Tell me! Where did this jade pendant come from?"
"Your Majesty, it was given to me by the man who called himself 'Prince Fu'an'.
It happened after a great battle, when a criminal who had escaped the net took a woman hostage. Prince Fu'an happened to see them and saved her.
The women were grateful to Prince Fu'an for saving their lives, so they would often make shoes and food and send them to the military camp to thank him.
All my relatives died at the hands of the Shenggan people. Prince Fu'an took pity on me and took me in.
He said he wanted to give the woman a backer, and even bought a house in the city to settle her down.
Occasionally, when Prince Fu'an was free, he would come to the city to see the common woman, but he would always come and go in a hurry.
This jade pendant was given to me by Prince Fu'an before the greatest war. I haven't seen him since then.
After he left, the woman discovered she was pregnant."
Kong Xinlian didn't hide anything at this time and told everything. She was afraid that the Queen Mother and the Emperor would not believe her, so she swore a poisonous oath.
People in this era still believe in this.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not doubt that the child was not the late emperor's. After all, the child did look like the late emperor, and this was also the late emperor's personal pendant.
Of course they would send people to investigate, but so much time has passed and the late emperor is no longer around, so even if they want to get to the bottom of it, it will take time.
The Queen Mother continued to ask, "The war was won, and that man returned to Yuan'an. Why didn't he take you with him?"
Kong Xinlian became even more panicked. After all, people like the Queen Mother and the Emperor were symbols of power in her heart. "I don't know."
The late emperor: I was injured at that time, and Fu'an was in danger of his life after blocking the attack for me. Afterwards, he rewarded the three armies. How could he think of a wild flower that he had saved?
Kong Xinlian kept speculating in her mind about the person who gave her the jade pendant. It was worth questioning the Empress Dowager and the Emperor personally.
At this time, Kong Xinlian also knew that the person who gave her the jade pendant was not the real Prince Fu'an.
"Then why did you think of bringing the child here?" The emperor was quite curious about this. After all, the child was six years old. If he had been brought here a few years earlier, his father would still be alive.
Kong Xinlian thought about the years of waiting and felt that it was difficult. "I have been waiting in that house for Prince Fu'an to come to see me, but he never came.
The money in the woman's hand was getting less and less, and she could no longer support her servants and daughter. She had no choice but to dismiss the servants. She sold her house, exchanged the money for it and came to Yuan'an to seek refuge with him.
Kong Xinlian's words sounded quite miserable. In fact, she had originally planned to take advantage of Qiao, and wanted to wait for Prince Fu'an to come and see him so that she could give him a surprise.
She wanted to wait for Prince Fu'an to come and invite her into his palace personally, maybe she could even get a role as a prince's concubine like in a play.
Kong Xinlian felt that she would lose value if she came to the prince's door. Once she was controlled by the prince's wife, she might just be an ordinary concubine in the backyard.
Kong Xinlian felt that she had already seen Fugui, so she didn't want to see Fugui slip away.
Kong Xinlian had a good idea, but she didn't expect that the man had forgotten her from beginning to end.
She had no other choice but to come here with her daughter. When she arrived in Yuan'an, Kong Xinlian found out about the situation in Prince Fu'an's mansion and thought that the princess was too fierce and did not allow the prince to come to her.
Kong Xinlian even planned her future path, but she didn't expect that it would not be Prince Fu'an.
However, Kong Xinlian felt that Prince Fu'an was better. He was handsome and powerful. It was said that there was only one principal wife in the palace. As long as she gave birth to a son after entering the palace, the concubine would be hers.
But I didn’t expect that not only was the jade pendant not Prince Fu’an’s, but his daughter also looked like another prince.
Kong Xinlian thought it would be nice if her daughter was Prince Rong's, as Prince Rong was quite handsome.
Kong Xinlian was thinking about the two princes last night and felt extremely regretful. Now that she saw the emperor, she had other expectations in her heart.
So when Kong Xinlian was replying, her kneeling posture was quite charming.
Of course the Queen Mother and the Empress also saw it. These two women had seen all kinds of things, and in front of them, she looked like she was not wearing any clothes.
The Queen Mother and the Empress could see clearly what Kong Xinlian was thinking.
The empress dowager looked at the emperor with a teasing look, and the emperor, who had not yet come to his senses, felt disgusted in an instant.
At this moment, the emperor had only one thought in his mind: 'Father really suffered during those years, and he was not picky about such things.'
Seeing that neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor spoke after she finished speaking, Kong Xinlian pretended to be strong and asked, "May I ask who this jade pendant belongs to?"
The Queen Mother didn't even glance at the jade pendant, thinking it was unlucky. She simply replied, "It belonged to the late Emperor."
"Ah?" Kong Xinlian was surprised at first, and then she started sobbing again, looking so pitiful.
The emperor was very upset when he heard this person crying, so he started to drive them away, "Alright, you two go down first! I will send people to investigate and find out if what you said is true. I will make Li Shuwan a princess.
If it's false, this period of time will probably be the last time you and your daughter will have in this world."
Kong Xinlian didn't listen to the emperor's threat at all, she only heard that her daughter could become a princess.
Kong Xinlian thought that since her daughter was a princess, she must be something extraordinary. Kong Xinlian didn't know what it was, but she thought she must be very powerful.
After all, her daughter and the emperor are siblings! Kong Xinlian instantly felt that the emperor was her junior. She stopped crying and rolled her eyes. It was obvious that she had no good tricks up her sleeve.
