She glanced at the Queen Mother and continued, "The Emperor has more respect and admiration for you, but he feels a bit more guilty towards the Imperial Concubine."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed and closed her eyes.
When Lu Liyuan was still a prince, he said that he wanted to marry Shen Mingyue, but because of his status as a prince, he did not dare to speak out.
Later, he ascended the throne with the help of the Shen family.
In order to control the Su family, she trapped Shen Mingyue in the harem.
Shen Mingyue didn't become the emperor's wife, and she lost her freedom...
Speaking of which, Shen Mingyue is the most pitiful and innocent person.
To be fair, she didn't dislike Shen Mingyue. On the contrary, she quite liked Shen Mingyue's tenacity.
But now the Shen family holds a large number of troops and is deeply loved by the people. With the precedent of Emperor Taizu, she has to be on guard.
Even if the Shen family is loyal, if they stand too high, they will inevitably be targeted by others.
So, she has to check and balance.
The Queen Mother took a sip of the warm tea in her hand and suppressed the irritation in her heart.
Wan Shuang habitually massaged the acupuncture points on the Empress Dowager's head and comforted her, "The Imperial Concubine is a sensible person. She won't fight for the position of Empress. It's just that the Emperor feels guilty and has always wanted to give it to her."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother said, "I remember that Jiangnan previously sent two pieces of moonlight silk as tribute. Take them to the Clothing Bureau tomorrow and have them make a set of clothes for Shen Mingyue and the two children."
Moonlight silk is soft and close to the skin, breathable and comfortable, and the color is gentle and not dazzling.
That's a rare and good material.
Wan Shuang said, "You seem to like the Third Prince more and more."
The Queen Mother finally smiled again. "Hongxuan is smart and clever, and Su Qiqi is well-behaved and adorable. They both look a lot like my Qing Yuan and Li Yuan. It's hard not to like them."
Lu Liyuan and Lu Qingyuan, one is the current emperor and the other is the current eldest princess.
These two are the Queen Mother's only two children.
When Qing Yuan was mentioned, the Queen Mother seemed to recall something and asked, "By the way, are all the portraits ready?"
Wan Shuang was stunned for a moment, then replied, "They've been prepared a long time ago, and they're all talented young men."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Tomorrow, go to Qionghua Palace in person and call Qing Yuan over. She's not young anymore, so this marriage can't be delayed for too long."
