At that time, in Cining Palace.
The maid was helping the Empress Dowager change her clothes. The Empress Dowager looked at her aging face in the mirror and sighed, "I'm afraid the Ai family won't live long."
The maid laughed angrily and said, "What are the Queen Mother talking about? The Queen Mother wants to live a long life."
The Empress Dowager was coaxed to smile, and she remembered something again, and still sighed: "But tell me, when will the Ai family be able to have grandchildren? The emperor's child is too doting on Ji Xili, and the Ai family is very fond of him." Worried about his heirs."
"The Empress Dowager, please relax. There is no need to rush into things like heirs. The Emperor has his own reasons for doting on others. I look at you, the Empress is not unreasonable. She will also consider the Emperor's interests." of."
The Empress Dowager shook her head and laughed, "That child from Xi Li was also raised by the Ai family. Can the Ai family still not know her character? She is not a person who can listen to advice. You have also seen it, Ai Jia I just said a few words to her a few days ago, and she left in shame. If it weren't for the emperor's favor, how could she dare to be so presumptuous."
The maid could only helplessly enlighten the Empress Dowager, "There is nothing we can do about it. He is the person the Emperor likes, and it is normal for him to have a temper. To be honest, slave, don't blame the Empress Dowager. I feel that, in addition to In this regard, since the Queen married into the palace, she has always abided by her duties and has not done anything out of the ordinary. The servant thought, in this case, maybe there is no need to rush the Queen. The Queen has nothing to do about it, right? Maybe let nature take its course and wait a moment, the emperor and the queen will have a child after a period of deep love."
After being persuaded softly by the personal maid, the Empress Dowager really thought about it, sighed and said with a smile: "Right now, it seems that if the emperor still refuses to accept other women, this is probably the only way to go. I hope Xili The child should be angry." The Empress Dowager said, suddenly remembering something, "The Ai family misses Qianmo's little Qingzhi a little bit. Please accompany the Ai family out of the palace tomorrow to see the child."
The maid responded, "Well, I will make arrangements for leaving the palace early tomorrow morning."
After chatting for a while, the Empress Dowager was a little tired and wanted to rest. Just as she was about to stand up from the dressing table, she heard an announcement from outside that the emperor was coming.
The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this. After all, she came here at bedtime. She thought of something and probably guessed the reason why the Emperor came here.
But I was probably still a little unhappy. When I thought about the emperor coming over again and again to vent his anger on Ji Xili, people who didn't know thought that she, the Queen Mother, had abused Ji Xili...
The Empress Dowager frowned and asked the maid to open the door. She casually put on a robe and sat in front of the couch, waiting for the emperor to come in.
The Empress Dowager originally wanted to rationally analyze her thoughts with the Emperor, but what she didn't expect was that the Emperor came here drunk. When he entered the Cining Palace, he looked cold and cruel, and his aura was unprecedented. The coldness makes people shudder.
"Why did the Emperor go to drink? Aren't you going to attend the morning court tomorrow?" Out of concern, the Queen Mother still asked.
But Sheng Zhiyu raised his lips and smiled, and sat down in front of the couch. He held his head and rubbed his eyebrows, and said lazily: "Grandma Huang should be happy to see me drunk. That's it." Only then do you have the heart to pamper the woman you sent here, right?"
