At that time, the palace.
Shu Nuan knelt in the main hall and let the imperial doctor diagnose her pulse.
Afterwards, the imperial physician truthfully replied to the Empress Dowager who was sitting in front of the couch: "Empress Dowager, this girl indeed has no sign of having a child."
The Empress Dowager nodded and waved the doctor to leave.
She looked down at the little girl kneeling under her for a long time, and then looked away lightly. She didn't let her get up, and she didn't say anything more to her. She went into the inner hall and drank tea for a while before letting her close her body. The maid Ashuang went to call the man in.
Shu Nuan knelt for so long that when he got up, his legs went numb and he almost fell down.
After entering the inner hall, the Empress Dowager was already sitting half-reclined on the couch. When Shu Nuan came up, she looked at Shu Nuan carefully. Shu Nuan was indeed different from most northern women. , her skin is as fair as porcelain, her body is slender and exquisite, her little face is tender, her lips are red and her teeth are white. At first glance, she is a clean and annoying little girl.
But the Empress Dowager did not think that such a little girl would be suitable for Sheng Qianmo. In her opinion, Shu Nuan was too young. He was still in the academy and was as old as Sheng Gu. Sheng Gu still wanted to be called Sheng Qianmo. Although he was called fourth uncle, Shu Nuan had an unspeakable relationship with Sheng Qianmo.
The Empress Dowager looked at her for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "The children of Qingguo are indeed delicate. How old are you?"
Shu Nuan lowered his eyes and said, "Sixteen."
The Empress Dowager nodded, not sure if she meant to tell Shu Nuan, "She is ten years younger than Qian Mo."
Shu Nuan pursed her lips and said nothing, and her long eyelashes drooped down to cover her eyes, preventing others from seeing the emotions in her eyes.
"The Ai family doesn't know if you child has ever understood that King Sheng has not touched his body for so many years. You are the first girl he allows to live in Sheng Palace. There are some things that the Ai family needs to ask clearly, do you understand? "
The Queen Mother had tried to slow down her tone as much as possible, just to avoid scaring the fragile-looking child.
Sure enough, Shu Nuan also relaxed a little and nodded gently, "As long as Shu Nuan knows, Shu Nuan will answer truthfully."
The Empress Dowager smiled and responded: "Good boy."
"The Aijia asked you, has Prince Sheng touched you?"
Shu Nuan was silent for a moment and shook his head gently.
The Empress Dowager was quite surprised at Shu Nuan's answer. She obviously didn't expect that Sheng Qianmo had raised such a delicious little beauty in the palace but still had no intention of touching her. But after thinking for a while, she looked at her again. After looking at Nuan, "Have you ever thought about the reason?"
Shu Nuan did not expect that the Empress Dowager would ask her such a question so directly. She opened her mouth slightly, thought for a while, then lowered her head and did not answer.
In this regard, she just felt that she was already lucky compared to Ji Xubai who knew Wen well.
Her identity is destined to be more passive and humble than Wen Zhigu. Wen Zhigu is at least free, but she is not. Her body and everything about her belongs to Sheng Qianmo, but even so, Sheng Qianmo Other than teasing and teasing her occasionally, there was no real forcing on her.
"You are too young." The Empress Dowager said calmly, "To him, you are just a child who needs to be taken care of like Xiao Gu."
Shu Nuan frowned, raised a pair of clear eyes, and said clearly: "It's different."
Sheng Qianmo would kiss her, Sheng Qianmo would hug her, and Sheng Qianmo would coax her. So, it's different.
