"Oh my, how could that be?" Meng Tian stood up from her seat, walked to the girl, and helped her up. "You may not know this, but your cousin is now the Consort of the Imperial Concubine in the palace."
"Mother...Mother?!" Her eyes widened. "You mean, she, she became the Empress in the palace?!"
After seeing Meng Min's head, he exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
"But I remember that many years ago, people in the clan said that she married an official and became an official's wife."
I haven't heard of any scholar successfully rebelling, so how come she suddenly became the empress in the palace?
Meng Tian smiled, "Don't you all know? She was divorced by her previous husband, and then somehow she entered the palace. First, she was given the title of Concubine Zhaoyi by the emperor, and now that she's pregnant, she's been given the title of Concubine Shu."
Her words had a hidden meaning, but unfortunately Liao Dong'er didn't understand the underlying meaning at all.
"I heard them talking a few days ago about His Majesty having a child. So it's my cousin who's pregnant with His Majesty's child?" She grinned. "Goddess, this is truly a great joy."
After saying this, she looked at Meng Tian and said, "I don't know what instructions you have for me, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty..."
"Yes." Meng Tian looked at her and nodded. "Your Majesty is pregnant, so it's inevitable that she would want to see her family, but after searching everywhere, you're the only one closest to the capital."
"It's the Queen who wants to see me." Liao Dong'er was very surprised.
Her mother and Tu Qingyu's mother are not actually sisters. Tu Qingyu's mother is the legitimate daughter of the family, and marrying Tu's father is a match made in heaven.
Her mother was born out of wedlock and insisted on eloping with her father. Her grandfather had no choice but to marry her mother to her father.
But her father said he was a scholar, but in fact he had taken exams for more than ten years and only passed the examination for students of higher learning, not even the examination for scholars of higher learning.
My father took the exam every year, but never passed, and he was unwilling to find a job. As a result, our family, which was once quite wealthy, was already unable to make ends meet.
My father passed away four years ago, and now we no longer have to support a scholar, and things at home have become much better.
Her sisters got married one after another, leaving only her and her younger brother as the only two children at home. It was said that the beautiful clothes she was wearing were bought with her sisters' betrothal money.
"Yes, but you also know that the Queen's personality is inevitably a little awkward, and there are also rules in the palace. If you are not pregnant for more than eight months, you are not allowed to see your family."
"There are such rules in the palace?"
"Yeah, so we have to change the way we say it then."
Liao Dong'er nodded repeatedly, and with a turn of her eyes, she said, "My family can no longer live happily, so I came to seek refuge with the Empress."
"clever."
The next day, Li Changheng took them to find the old princess from the royal family.
The old princess had no sons and only one daughter who was married far away. She had seen Li Changheng grow up since he was a child. She loved him very much and treated him like her own grandson.
"How come you have time to visit me, an old woman, today?"
"Can't my grandnephew come to see you if he's alright?"
Li Changheng raised his hand and bowed. Without waiting for the old concubine to call him, he stood up and walked to the old concubine, picked up a piece of cake on her table and put it into his mouth.
"It seems that my aunt knew that my grandnephew was coming. Look, she even prepared his favorite cakes."
"You rascal, you are becoming more and more rude."
The old concubine lightly tapped his forehead and said it was impolite, but her eyes were full of love.
Li Changheng can be so casual in front of the old concubine, but Meng Tian can't.
She led Liao Dong'er to pay her respects and said, "Greetings to the old concubine, may the queen dowager live long and happily."
Liao Dong'er knelt down, knocking her head loudly, "Greetings to the Concubine Dowager, long live the Concubine Dowager."
Toffee looked at the two of them, "They are..."
"It's like this, my nephew came here this time because he wants to ask the concubine for help with something."
"I told you that you wouldn't come here for no reason." She leaned lazily back, "Oh, that's right. How could anyone care about an old woman like me?"
"Look at what you're saying. Your nephew was here to see you, and this just happened to happen, didn't it?"
"Well, in the past, didn't your nephew come to see you every once in a while?"
He walked over, squatted beside the footstool, and acted like a spoiled child.
The Shun Palace actually had a lot of resources, and there was no male heir in the palace. In the end, these resources would not have been given to people in the clan as much as to him.
"Alright, alright, stop playing tricks. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"
