Empress Dowager Zhou nodded and watched Mo Chuan leave Shoukang Palace and disappear from sight.
She couldn't help but rub her forehead, feeling the sudden pain in her forehead, and called out in a low voice: "Sujin."
Su Jin had known that Empress Dowager Zhou and her son had something to say, and had already stayed away. When she saw Mo Chuan leaving Shoukang Palace, she rushed to the door of Empress Dowager Zhou's room to wait for the summons.
She opened the door in response and saw the gray face of Queen Mother Zhou, and asked worriedly: "Empress Dowager, are you feeling unwell? I will send the imperial doctor here."
Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head and said: "There is no need to teach the imperial doctor. The Ai family can just take a rest."
Su Jin hurriedly helped Queen Mother Zhou lie down on the couch and gently massaged Queen Mother Zhou's forehead.
Queen Mother Zhou closed her eyes and lay quietly without speaking.
Sujin also held her breath, not daring to breathe out.
After a long, long time, Queen Mother Zhou opened her eyes, stared blankly at the picture of wealthy peonies embroidered on the top of the tent, and let out a long sigh.
"Is the Queen Mother still asleep? But if you have anything that worries you, you might as well talk to your servant."
Su Jin spoke softly, and her gentle tone sounded like a trickle in Queen Mother Zhou's ears, which was indescribably comfortable. She was already upset, but she couldn't help but pat Su Jin's hand.
"Stop pressing the button and come over to talk to the Ai family."
Su Jin followed the instructions and took a brocade pier, sat in front of Queen Mother Zhou's bed, gently beat her legs, raised her eyes, and looked at Queen Mother Zhou quietly.
Queen Mother Zhou thought for a while and said, "What do you think of this child Zhaorong?"
During the day, Princess Zhaorong came into the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother Zhou. Sujin was also waiting on her, so she met Princess Zhaorong once.
At this time, when she heard Queen Mother Zhou suddenly ask about this, her heart skipped a beat. She had already vaguely guessed Queen Mother Zhou's thoughts. She was so nervous that her palms became sweaty and she looked confused. She didn't know how to answer.
After a while, she figured out what Empress Dowager Zhou meant, and replied in a low voice: "Princess Zhaorong has grown into a big girl. She should have been born last year, and she should be sixteen years old this year. Empress Dowager Does the empress want to marry Princess Zhaorong into a good family?"
Empress Dowager Zhou narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You understand the Ai family's wishes best. Yes, the Ai family wants to find an in-law for their child Zhaorong. Who do you think is the most suitable?"
Sujin thought to herself, this is not obvious!
The Queen Mother has fallen in love with Princess Zhaorong, dislikes Miss Shen, and wants to make her a queen instead!
She lowered her eyes and said, "I dare not lie. Princess Zhaorong is a noble person. I believe the Queen Mother has already known about her marriage and will definitely choose the most suitable candidate for Princess Zhaorong."
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and asked: "What do you think of the emperor?"
Sujin didn't expect Queen Mother Zhou to ask so directly. She opened her eyes and looked stunned.
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said: "The emperor and Zhaorong were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is the best. If Zhaorong hadn't disappeared without a trace for three years, the Ai family would have decreed to make her the queen. What does this queen say? It will not fall on the Shen family girl. Now that Zhaorong has returned from studying arts, he has good character, good looks, good family background, and good martial arts. He is hundreds of times better than the Shen family girl in everything. The emperor and her have an old relationship. "Japanese love, what do you think of the arrangement of the Ai family?"
Su Jin's head hung lower. She felt sorry for Shen Ning secretly in her heart. She couldn't understand. The Queen was clearly a hundred times stronger than Princess Zhaorong in everything, so why did the Queen Mother look down on her
