In the past, the emperor would dine with the empress dowager at least two days a month. However, ever since she asked Gu Niaoniao to go over, the emperor has never gone there once.
The empress dowager did not realize the key point. She thought that since the emperor had Jiang Yi, he had completely forgotten about his biological mother, and she blamed Jiang Yi in her heart.
This time, the empress dowager summoned the emperor just in time for dinner.
Gu Niaoniao was also dressed up. She asked the Queen Mother anxiously, "Aunt, will the Emperor get tired of me after seeing me?"
Everything that Gu Niaoniao had experienced in the past few months was enough to completely shatter the pride she once took pride in.
Gu Niaoniao even thought that she had arrived in hell at one point.
The double pain of body and mind almost made her want to die, if the Queen Mother had not taken her away.
The thing she wanted to do most after coming back to life was to make Jiang Yi, the culprit, pay for his actions.
If it weren't for Jiang Yi, how would the emperor know everything she had done.
She hated Jiang Yi.
But Jiang Yi is now held in the palm of the emperor's hand.
How could Jiang Yi be a match for her? She was only fit to be her shadow behind her.
If it weren't for her, how would Jiang Yi have the opportunity to live in the Marquis' Mansion and how would he have the opportunity to enter the palace.
But Jiang Yi, this ungrateful guy, hurt her so much!
"It's okay. This happened a long time ago. You were young at the time and there was nothing you could do when you were forced. Even if the emperor blames you, I am still here for you," the empress dowager said lovingly.
Ever since Marquis Wu'an talked about his relationship with the Cheng family, the empress dowager liked Niao Niao more and more.
Cheng was her substitute, and even the daughter born to Cheng was treated by Marquis Wu'an as her own.
Gu Niaoniao was still a little scared, "If nothing can be accomplished today."
"Today, let's try to find out what the emperor wants. If that doesn't work, we can only give him medicine." Speaking of this, the empress dowager's face darkened.
She didn't want to drug her son, but if it really didn't work, she had no choice but to do this.
She was doing this for the emperor's own good. The emperor had always favored Jiang Yi so much, so wouldn't all the princes in the future be born to Jiang Yi?
How could a daughter from a humble family give birth to a prince with such qualifications?
As an emperor, you should favor more women and have more children.
Not to mention this, if only Jiang Yi gave birth to a prince, then in the future she would not only have to look at the emperor's face, but also the face of little Jiang Yi.
No one can tolerate this.
Gu Niaoniao was the one pushed forward by the Queen Mother to compete with Jiang Yi. She didn't need to be very powerful, as long as she could give birth to a child.
The rest will be done by her and Marquis Wu'an.
With the empress dowager's comfort, Gu Niaoniao was not so scared anymore, but she was still nervous.
After a while, the emperor came.
Gu Niaoniao stood up and greeted the emperor.
The emperor ignored him and went to talk to the empress dowager.
"I have been very busy with official duties recently and haven't had meals with my mother for a long time," the emperor said with emotion.
The Queen Mother raised her hand to Gu Niaoniao, asking her to stand up, and said, "You are not busy with official business, but just busy accompanying Jiang Yi."
The emperor said, "Xiaoyi is pregnant with the heir to the throne. This is my son's first child, so I naturally value it very much and fear the slightest accident."
He brought up the issue of the royal heir, and the empress dowager couldn't say anything.
"The heir is important, but my mother is unimportant?" The Queen Mother knew this would displease the Emperor, but she couldn't help herself and said, "I was just joking with you."
The anger froze for a moment.
The Queen Mother had the meal served.
"I am happy today. Your Majesty, please drink some wine with me."
The emperor looked straight at the empress dowager and said, "I am a little tired today, so I shouldn't drink."
"Can't I just have a drink or two?"
The empress dowager began to wonder if he had seen anything when he looked at her like that.
"Forget it, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink."
As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor said, "I don't know when your mother started liking to drink."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "I used to love to have a few drinks, but your father wouldn't let me, so I usually drank in secret."
"Yes, my father used to be very strict with my mother. He treated her like an ignorant child. Even before his death, he was still worried about her."
The emperor's words were somewhat heavy, and the empress dowager couldn't help but think of the late emperor, and felt a little guilty.
But this guilt was only fleeting. The late emperor was dead, and she still had to live well.
If the late emperor were still alive, he would not have allowed her to be outshined by the daughter of a minor official.
At that time, the late emperor would not bear to see her suffer even if the Empress Dowager criticized her harshly.
The emperor did not drink alcohol and ate very little. He talked with the empress dowager for a while and then left.
The Queen Mother said, "Niao Niao, please see the Emperor off on my behalf."
"I obey your command." Gu Niaoniao blushed, but seeing that the emperor did not refuse, she became even more excited.
She followed the emperor step by step and said to him boldly: "I will take you here..."
However, when she looked up, the emperor had already walked away.
She gritted her teeth and had to go back.
"I'm afraid the emperor still remembers that incident and feels disgusted with me." Gu Niaoniao was sad.
"If the Emperor truly dislikes someone, he would have said it directly to my face." The Queen Mother said, "He didn't say it, which proves that he has forgotten the matter."
"At least he doesn't hate you."
Gu Niaoniao said: "But even so, in his heart, I am still not as important as Jiang Yi."
