Chapter 42: Mother! Only she can bear children for me
"Well, I won't pick up chopsticks that others have licked, and I don't want to kiss lips that others have kissed."
"I really don't like men who have been through a lot of battles. I always feel a little uncomfortable. If I get close to such a man, I can't help but think about how loving he was with other people in the past. I feel disgusted when I think about it."
"I like our Ling Zhao. Not only because he is good-looking and brave, but I also like his cleanliness and purity. I like his spotlessness, which has never been touched by anyone before me."
Queen Mother Jiang put her fingers on her forehead and burst into laughter.
This little white rabbit looks timid and soft, but unexpectedly he becomes quite talkative once he opens up.
There are a lot of little truths.
She doesn't like to rub chopsticks that have been rubbed by others. Who likes that? Even the concubines in the palace don't like it. But there is nothing they can do. Since they have married the emperor, they can only endure it.
Queen Mother Jiang looked at Shen Yuanwei with envy, "Madam Xiao, you are lucky. In fact, as a woman, everyone wants a clean man, and everyone wants their husband to be loyal to them. However, how many clean men are there in the world? The powerful are destined to have three wives and four concubines, and those who can only afford to marry one wife are too poor. If you follow them, you will have a hard life. In comparison, it is better to marry a rich man. At least, you can live a rich and leisurely life in the second half of your life."
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "The Queen Mother is right, so I cherish our Ling Zhao very much. He is better than anyone else. He is really a rare treasure."
Queen Mother Jiang laughed again.
Although she was shown off, she still liked this girl very much.
Her son wanted to do something indecent to this girl, but this girl was loyal and pure in love with Xiao Lingzhao, and even said that she particularly disliked men like her son who had many wives and concubines. How could she not feel amused?
She felt relieved because her son coveted such a decent girl, and she knew that the girl would definitely not get together with her son.
As a mother, she hopes that her son can always be a wise ruler. She doesn't want her son to degenerate into a tyrant who is despised by everyone just because of a woman.
As they were talking, the nanny came in with tea.
He respectfully gave the Queen Mother a glass and then handed another glass to Shen Yuanwei.
Seeing the empress dowager lowering her eyes to drink tea, Shen Yuanwei also lowered her head and sipped it.
She never thought that the Queen Mother, with whom she had a pleasant conversation without any conflicts, would add something to her teacup.
After drinking tea and chatting for a while, Shen Yuanwei saw Queen Mother Jiang put her hand on her forehead and looked sleepy.
Queen Mother Jiang yawned, "Madam Xiao, I need to take a nap. I have been unable to sleep these past few days. The incense in the bedroom is soothing, and I can't help wanting to sleep when I smell it..."
She yawned again, half-closed her eyes and looked at Shen Yuanwei, and said softly, "If you are sleepy, you can also lean on the small couch at the back and take a nap. Your husband will be here for a while, so don't rush."
Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to speak, Queen Mother Jiang hugged the pillow and closed her eyes, "Okay, I'm going to sleep, don't make any noise to disturb me."
Shen Yuanwei stared at the lazy Queen Mother Jiang who was yawning and falling asleep in front of her.
She was a little overwhelmed.
Is the Empress Dowager so casual?
She didn't dare to make a sound to disturb Queen Mother Jiang.
After waiting for a few minutes, she suddenly felt a little dizzy.
She rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the incense burner on the right side of the bedroom.
Looking at the curling green smoke, she thought to herself, the Queen Mother's calming incense is really powerful, it is better than sleeping pills...
Shen Yuanwei fell asleep in a daze, leaning against the small couch at the back.
As soon as she fell asleep, Queen Mother Jiang, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly opened her eyes.
There was clarity in those eyes, how could there be any trace of sleepiness?
There is no soothing incense in this bedroom.
It was just that she put some medicine in the little girl's teacup. She didn't want the little girl to suspect her after waking up, so she pretended to sleep first.
Queen Mother Jiang whispered to the maid beside her, "Tell the eunuch to run and invite the emperor immediately, telling him that Prince Rui is ill and ask him to come over quickly."
The nanny nodded, turned around and left quickly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xie Junlin hurried over.
He arrived in the shortest time possible and stood before the Queen Mother.
He glanced at Shen Yuanwei, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and then looked at Queen Mother Jiang with a smile, "Thank you, mother."
Queen Mother Jiang squinted her eyes and looked him up and down. "You asked me to knock her out, and I did it. Now you have to tell me what you want to do to her. If you want to do something outrageous, I will not agree to it."
Xie Junlin was somewhat helpless, "Mother, is your son the kind of person who doesn't know his limits?"
Queen Mother Jiang said, "Don't play tricks on me. Just tell me what you want to do to her."
Xie Junlin pursed his lips.
He didn't know how to explain this to his mother.
He said, "Mother, please step aside for a moment. I will tell you after my son has confirmed it."
Queen Mother Jiang sat there without any intention of avoiding him. She glared at Xie Junlin and said, "Good things are not to be avoided by others. If you don't offend her, why should I avoid you?"
Xie Junlin rubbed his brows and said, "Mother, I cannot explain this to you for the time being. Ling Zhao will be here at any time. Please step aside for a while. I swear I will not do anything out of line."
Queen Mother Jiang stood up and slowly walked to Xie Junlin.
She said, "You can't explain it to me, so I'll tell you something first. This girl just told me that she likes clean and pure men. What she hates most is men with many wives and concubines. She won't pick up chopsticks that have been licked by others, and she won't kiss someone else's lips again. She finds it disgusting and disgusting."
Xie Junlin was stunned, and then his pupils contracted!
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Miss Yuan Wei who was lying on the small couch.
He clenched his fingers tightly at his sides.
This...
It was like pointing at his nose and scolding him!
Did the girl say this on purpose for her mother to hear? Did she see that he coveted her, so she wanted to tell him not to be so delusional, because a dirty man like him made her feel sick?
Xie Junlin looked a little ugly.
He is the emperor!
The whole world belongs to him, and countless women are trying their best to enter the palace and become his concubines. He is already so noble, but he still has to be judged like an ordinary man?
Oh, even though he has been laughed at for not being able to have children over the years, no woman dared to despise him for being unclean or dirty!
This Shen Yuanwei...
simply……
simply……
He gritted his teeth and wanted to curse, but he felt that he had no right or position to curse. He was the one who coveted my wife and he was not a human being. He deserved to be despised, didn't he?
Queen Mother Jiang looked at Xie Junlin, who had a bad expression on his face, and sneered.
"You still say you won't do anything improper to her? If you have a clean heart towards her, why would you mind so much if she thinks men with wives and concubines are unclean? She didn't point fingers at you, so why are you rushing to take the blame? Don't you just want her?"
“…”
Xie Junlin turned to look at the Queen Mother with a complicated look in his eyes, "Mother..."
Queen Mother Jiang shouted coldly, "Get out!"
Queen Mother Jiang pointed at his nose and scolded, "I can help you do whatever you want, but I can't help you ruin a married woman! Xie Junlin, listen, she is not only a married woman, but her husband is also your General of the Cavalry. You can't betray the loyal ministers and generals who are loyal to you just for this dirty thought!"
Xie Junlin looked at his mother, whose face was stern. Seeing his mother speaking to him so harshly, he slowly closed his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes again, looked at his mother with his dark eyes, and said word by word, "But what if she is the only one in the world who can give birth to my child, mother?"
