Rumors abounded, and there were never any secrets in the palace. Although Empress Dowager Zhou recovered from her illness not long ago, she had already heard a lot of rumors about this Miss Shen.
So she had already made up her mind to meet her.
If the emperor was really interested in her, then she would have to make him give up the idea.
A commoner woman whose origin is unknown must never enter the palace as a concubine.
That's why she arranged today's meeting and summoned Jiang Yuwan and Shen Ning to the palace at the same time.
She wanted this wild girl Shen to see what royal style, ladylike etiquette, and dignity were, so that she could give up her thoughts on Shang Mu Tianen and it would be better to take the initiative to retreat.
Empress Dowager Zhou only exchanged pleasantries with Shen Ning, as if there was no such person in front of her, and she was just chatting with Jiang Yuwan about interesting things in the palace.
From time to time, he would turn around and ask Mo Chuan: "Emperor, do you think this is the case?"
"Yu Wan, you are so generous and courteous. The Ai family likes you very much."
"Emperor, what do you think of Yuwan?"
She never looked at Shen Ning again, let alone mentioned any rewards or life-saving grace.
Even Sujin could see this deliberate neglect.
She couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Shen Ning.
It turns out that the Queen Mother called Miss Shen into the palace not to thank her for saving her life, but to humiliate her.
But why is the Queen Mother so hostile to Miss Shen? Miss Shen just saved the Queen Mother!
She felt sorry for Shen Ning in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
I just wonder if the Queen Mother is ill and confused
Or maybe the Queen Mother saw Miss Shen and thought of the former Queen, so she felt disgust in her heart
Shen Ning felt Empress Dowager Zhou's deliberate neglect from the very beginning, but she smiled and looked calm, lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, holding her breath and concentrating.
But in the eyes of others, he is calm and unfazed.
Although Queen Mother Zhou was talking to Jiang Yuwan, she was secretly observing her from the corner of her eyes.
"This girl surnamed Shen looks so familiar. It's strange that the Ai family has never seen her before, but they always feel familiar. She seems to be the same person!"
This thought suddenly entered the mind of Queen Mother Zhou.
Almost immediately, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and the fingers in her sleeves unconsciously tightened the armrests of the chair.
"Like, she looks and behaves really like her! No wonder the emperor let her live in Guanju Palace. No one except Shen Yatou was allowed to step in there, not even the people in the Aijia Palace, but But he let this girl named Shen move in, and they all have the same surname: Shen! "
The more Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Shen Ning, the more suspicious she became, and she instinctively regarded her as the biggest threat.
No, she couldn't let anyone or anything ruin the emperor's wedding!
She must see her son marry the daughter-in-law she personally selected. Only then can she close her eyes with peace of mind.
Her original intention was not to humiliate Shen Ning, but when she saw her, her instinctive disgust made her behave involuntarily.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Mo Chuan out of the corner of her eye again, and then she was suddenly startled.
Although Mo Chuan's face was still as expressionless as before, his eyes clearly brightened and his face became radiant.
What is this for? Queen Mother Zhou is someone who has experienced this.
She understands.
This girl named Shen has successfully attracted the emperor's attention.
