Chapter 0060 Burnt Yellow
Empress Dowager Sun felt that she had never been so wronged.
Yes, she always favors men with good looks. She had invited a general to her palace before, but he refused and even yelled. But that was in the past! Since she had Tan Er by her side, she had not favored another man for four months!
One can imagine how angry she was when Sun Renluan called her over and started scolding her.
Sun Renluan was twenty years older than her. She had been afraid of him and hated him since she was a child because he was the eldest son born to the original wife and everything in the family belonged to him. Even a young girl like her, born to the second wife, had to depend on him for her own survival.
But why? She was also a legitimate lady of the Sun family, and her mother was the granddaughter of the princess. In terms of her family background, she never felt that she was inferior to Sun Renluan. Moreover, if she had not married the late emperor with her beauty and became the empress of the late emperor, would Sun Renluan have the status she has now!
This is a case of each having his own reasons. Sun Shannu believed that it was because she became the queen that she raised Sun Renluan's status, and it was also because of her being the queen that he had such a big say after the migration to the south. Sun Renluan believed that if it were not for his high official position in the court, the position of queen would never have been hers. He was the one who promoted her from the very beginning, so it was only right for her to give back to him.
Both sides had their reasons, but neither was willing to submit to the other, especially Sun Renluan. He was worried that Sun Shannu would be out of his control and would want to seize power from him, so he suppressed her almost all the time. If there were outsiders, it would be fine, but when there were no outsiders, Sun Shannu, the queen mother, would be scolded by him so hard that she couldn't even raise her head.
After all, people are not perfect. If they are in the mountains, they cannot see the whole picture of the mountains. If they also have a God's perspective, they probably won't make their relationship so awkward. But their lives are not a history book. How can they predict the future in advance? ...
Sun Shannu defended herself, saying that she did not do anything to the man named Xiao Rong, but Sun Renluan would not listen. He would rather believe an outsider than Sun Shannu.
Finally, Sun Shannu returned to the Queen Mother's bedroom in a rage, because it was too late at that time, and no matter how angry she was, she could not summon a man from outside the palace at night. So she hugged her beloved Tan'er and cried all night. The next morning, she was still angry and immediately sent someone to summon Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong was well prepared. He even changed his clothes in advance. Ashu even wondered why the master didn't go out even though he was dressed neatly.
Sun Shannu planned to scold Xiao Rong today just like she was scolded yesterday, and she would also ask him why he wanted to destroy her reputation!
The rest of the people in the palace: "..."
Queen Mother, you don't seem to have that kind of thing. ...
By the time Xiao Rong came in, Sun Shannu's charging bar had been completed. However, just as she said in anger, "Bold Xiao Rong, why do you slander me?" Xiao Rong looked up in shock, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Why does the Queen Mother say that?"
Sun Shannu: “…” Still pretending!
But Xiao Rong really didn't look like he was pretending. From the moment he asked that question, Sun Shannu's rhythm had already been snatched away by him. Sun Shannu explained for him, and he naturally refuted. Moreover, he was much more excited than Sun Shannu. He cried out to the sky and said that it was absolutely not true. Why would he do such a thing that would harm the Queen Mother and not benefit himself? He came to Jinling alone, and he was cautious with every step he took. He would have to be crazy to slander the Queen Mother's innocence!
Everyone in the palace: "..."
Well...our Queen Mother doesn't have this kind of thing either.
At first, Xiao Rong tried his best to distance himself from the matter. Later, when he saw that Empress Dowager Sun did not believe him, he seemed a little anxious and thought silently about what was going on. Then he remembered that he was weak and felt uncomfortable in the sun when he went out, so he covered his face. Could this be how the rumor came about?
Sun Shannu told him angrily, not only that, but also your sleeves are wrinkled!
Xiao Rong was stunned. This time he did not explain what happened. He just swore and said that this was not the case at all. If this was really the case, he would be struck by lightning and die without a complete body!
Sun Shannu: “…………”
At that time, people took swearing very seriously. Xiao Rong could even utter such a poisonous oath. It seemed that this was really a misunderstanding.
When Sun Shannu was thinking this, suddenly, her IQ came into play again. Something was not right. Covering her face and walking away could be considered a misunderstanding, but what about the wrinkled sleeves? If it wasn't Xiao Rong who did it, then someone was framing her?
