"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
Li Xia spent some time in the City God Temple, and by the time he arrived outside the General's Mansion, the time was just right.
When Chen Dexuan heard Li Xia coming, he hurried outside to greet her.
"Father didn't know that the Queen Mother was coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to welcome you." He looked at Li Xia with a flattering face.
Chen Dexuan saw the people coming and going outside, and they all stopped at the door of the general's mansion after hearing Li Xia's identity. He immediately raised his head and chest, feeling superior in his heart.
In the past, he always believed that only his son could bring honor to the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, my daughter would be favored by the late emperor and become the queen.
Now she was directly promoted to Queen Mother.
Not every household has this honor.
Although Li Xia doesn't have his last name, his blood flows in her veins after all.
She is his daughter.
They are related by blood.
My daughter has become successful and has a noble status.
As a father, he also feels proud.
Li Xia looked at Chen Dexuan's face and guessed what he was thinking without even thinking.
Isn't it just contributing a seed?
From childhood to adulthood, he has given nothing.
It’s a nice thought at this time.
"I heard that my father is taking a concubine today, so I came here to congratulate him." Li Xia lowered his eyes, pulled the corners of his lips, and said with a forced smile.
She was not interested in his taking a concubine.
I came here today to take back what belongs to her.
As for Chen Dexuan's family, Li Xia didn't want to have too much involvement with them.
Since he was able to take care of his first wife before her body was cold, he brought Chen into the general's mansion and made her his second wife.
Now I have chosen the day when Chen Dexuan takes a concubine to return to him what he has done.
It's time for her to fulfill the original owner's wish.
Chen Dexuan had brought this upon himself.
In fact, if you want to talk about it.
What I am going to do to Chen Dexuan is nothing compared to what he has done.
To an extreme degree, he is unbeatable.
"I am very happy that the Queen Mother still cares about me."
Chen Dexuan raised his chin like a swaggering peacock.
He raised his head high, as if showing off to the people around him.
Li Xia was welcomed into the mansion like a star.
"Who is coming?" Honglian heard the noisy sound. Her vision was blocked by the red veil, so she raised her hand and pulled the sleeve of the maid who was supporting her.
The servant announced the arrival of Li Xia, but Hong Lian had not yet arrived in the hall.
The maid didn't dare to hide it, and bowed her head and said respectfully: "My aunt, it's the former young lady of the general's mansion, now the queen mother, who has arrived."
"The Queen Mother?"
Honglian was stunned when he heard this and frowned.
She didn't know much about the past events in the General's Mansion, but she had vaguely heard that Chen Dexuan did have a daughter who entered the palace.
It is said that when the young lady of the general's mansion married the late emperor, she was younger than herself and was also as beautiful as a flower.
It seems so.
Even though she is now the Queen Mother, in essence, they are the same person.
The same people who sacrifice their bodies for power and wealth.
No one is nobler than anyone else.
It’s just that the old man she accompanied happened to be an old emperor of noble status.
Her status was also elevated because of men.
Li Xia: Ugh~ Stop being disgusting, we are different.
"I ask you, if you are lying, be careful of your skin." Honglian twisted the handkerchief in her hands and asked the maid beside her half-threateningly.
"Madam Hong, I dare not."
The maid's shoulders trembled and she replied while swallowing.
"What does the Queen Mother look like? Compared to me, who is better?"
Honglian raised an eyebrow and asked.
She has always been very confident about her appearance.
"The Queen Mother..."
"Um?"
The maid's legs were trembling, and she was about to tell the truth when Honglian turned her head.
Even though she had a red veil on her head, the maid seemed to be able to feel the sharpness of Honglian's gaze.
The maid licked her lips, lowered her head, and hesitated to speak.
Honglian frowned and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
"I think that Concubine Hong is naturally better." The maid swallowed her saliva and lowered her eyelids.
As the old saying goes, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
I am now working under Aunt Hong.
Whether it was beating, scolding, or buying someone's money, it was all decided by her words.
The maid didn't dare to offend her.
I had no choice but to go against my conscience and say what Honglian wanted to hear.
Honglian raised an eyebrow, "You are a very perceptive little rascal."
“Knock knock knock—”
"Auntie, the auspicious time has arrived. You can go to the main hall to worship now."
The matchmaker knocked on the door.
"Madam Hong, I'll help you out." The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the matchmaker's voice.
Li Xia, surrounded by a group of people, came to the wedding hall which was full of guests.
"I have met the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"We pay our respects to the Queen Mother. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
………
When the guests saw Li Xia coming, they all stood up and saluted.
Li Xia raised her hand and said, "Don't be so polite."
With the help of her maid, Honglian also came to the main hall which was decorated with red silk.
As she approached, she heard the guests flattering Li Xia.
Honglian bit her lip, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled.
Today is her big day, and it is clearly her home turf.
But now, because she is the queen mother, all the limelight is focused on her, and the moment of being in the spotlight does not belong to her.
