He Shouzheng jumped over the dragon gate overnight, was promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, and became the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army. He was so happy that he seemed to be in a dream and couldn't close his mouth.
In the past, when he was guarding the city gate, he would nod and bow down when he saw everyone. Now that he has become the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, everyone who sees him must respectfully address him: "Congratulations, deputy commander."
He was promoted to a new official, and he was constantly entertained and entertained every day. Except for the days when he was on duty, he was entertained with banquets almost every day.
Zhui Feng followed Mo Chuan's order and followed him secretly. He then reported back to Mo Chuan and Shen Ning in detail who he saw and what he said every day.
After following this for two days, I still found nothing unusual.
Shen Ning was not impatient and told Zhui Feng to continue to follow patiently. She believed that when they met during the holidays, the big fish would be unable to hold back and stir up trouble again, and she would be able to catch him by then!
At this moment, there was quite a commotion in the palace.
As the saying goes, fire can't be contained, Shen Ning had long expected that her identity would not be hidden from the Queen Mother Zhou for long.
After only three days of calm, the day of the Queen's canonization ceremony came.
According to the old practice, the ceremony was held on the second day after the emperor and the empress got married. However, due to the accident in the bridal chamber, the ceremony was postponed for three days.
On the eve of the ceremony of enthroning the queen, Queen Mother Zhou sent Su Jin to get the royal family tree. Because the ceremony of enthroning the queen was the next day, she found that she did not know the queen's name and family background.
She looked through the royal family tree and finally discovered the secret.
She stared at the two words on the genealogy and could hardly believe her eyes. She couldn't help but rub it again and again. When she looked at it again, she found that it was still those two words clearly: "Chen Ning".
These two characters were added by Mo Chuan himself. How could Empress Dowager Zhou not recognize those elegant and familiar characters
"Su Jin!" Empress Dowager Zhou glanced majestically: "Come and tell the Ai family what the name of the emperor's newly married queen is!"
Su Jin had already expected this moment when she got the genealogy. Seeing the Queen Mother Zhou asking questions, she lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's name is Shen... Ning."
"Wow! Even you girl is colluding with them to deceive the Ai family. Sujin, the Ai family's love for you is really in vain!"
Queen Mother Zhou was so angry that she threw the cup.
Su Jin hurriedly knelt down and said, "The Queen Mother, please calm down. I didn't mean to deceive the Queen Mother."
"You didn't mean it? That means you already knew it? Tell me, when did you know that the queen the emperor wanted to marry was the girl named Shen!" Queen Mother Zhou said angrily.
"My slave... I knew it before the emperor got married." Su Jin knew that she couldn't hide it, so she reported everything to the Queen Mother Zhou in detail. After she finished speaking, she kept kowtowing.
"The Queen Mother, this matter is all my fault. I deceived the Queen Mother and didn't tell the Queen Mother in advance that the bride was Miss Shen. This is because I really can't bear to break them up. The Emperor and Miss Shen have a deep love for each other. How about they?" It’s easy to get together, please ask the Queen Mother to help them!”
Queen Mother Zhou was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised the dragon-headed crutch and hit Sujin hard on the back, which only made Sujin twitch.
