"Grandma Huang, we miss you."

Hao Hao was sweet for once, and Chen Chen immediately said like a little sparrow: "Yes, we miss you."

The hall immediately burst into happy laughter. Empress Ruan leaned over and pulled the three little guys forward, kissed each of them, and then lovingly stretched out her hand to touch their heads: "Your grandpa pointed someone into the Prince's Mansion.

, are you able to read and write?"

"Well, not only do we learn to read, but we also practice martial arts?"

Hao Hao spoke proudly, and Ruan Hou nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked up and saw Hua Shuxue still standing in the middle of the hall, and hurriedly said: "Sit down too."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Hua Shuxue slowly walked to one side and sat down. Seeing that Ruan Hou was very happy to see the three little guys, the sadness in her heart seemed to be swept away. Hua Shuxue was still very happy in her heart, although this

Queen Ruan didn't like her, she was not her ideal daughter-in-law, but she must be Yue's mother, so Hua Shuxue didn't want to care about what she had done in the past, and only hoped that she could live in peace with her in the future.

But the character of this woman is really unpredictable. Although she looks as gentle as a harmless little white rabbit at this moment, she might turn into a wild lion and beast at the next moment.

In the main hall, Hua Shuxue quietly watched the grandparents and grandchildren huddled together. She quietly observed Empress Ruan, and realized that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It was precisely because of her thinness that the corners of her eyes showed out.

Crow's feet. If she were fatter, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes would not be visible at all. Not only that, she started to feel tired after talking for a while. Could it be because she was too tired last night?

After Ruan Hou and the children were busy for a while, she ordered a female official to take the three little guys down to eat delicious food, and then take them around the palace to have fun. When the three little guys heard that they were playing

, were naturally happy. They were only four years old. They had long forgotten what their mother had told them to do to make Grandma Huang happy, and walked out together with the female official.

In the main hall, Hua Shuxue knew that Empress Ruan must have something to say to her, so she asked the female officer to take the children away. Thinking of this, she waved her hand to signal Mo Xie and Ruyi behind her to retreat together, and Empress Ruan also

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were ordered to leave, and only two women, Ruan Hou and Hua Shuxue, were left in the palace.

Hua Shuxue looked at Queen Ruan and said calmly: "I don't know what Queen Mother has to tell her son."

Ruan Hou stared at her for a while, and then spoke: "I don't know if mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. When I look at you, I really don't like you. Fortunately, my son, who I have worked hard to cultivate, loves you like a treasure. Even she can

Resist me and target me for your sake."

Ruan Hou's face looked lonely at the end of her speech, and her whole body was shrouded in a lifeless light, like the sun that was about to set.

"Maybe I am a failed woman. Several men in my life have chosen to leave me."

She spoke in a low voice at the end. She didn't know what she was remembering. Hua Shuxue felt that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, but when she thought about it, she suspected that she was wrong. This was the queen who was respected by everyone in the Yun Kingdom. She

How could she have such a sentimental side? So when she took a serious look, she found that she had suddenly given up all her loneliness, her whole body was shining brightly, and she spoke with a smile.

"Look at me, I wonder if it's because I'm older that I've become sentimental. This really isn't the emotion I should have. By the way, I asked you to stay because I have something to discuss with you?"

Hua Shuxue waited quietly. For some reason, she always felt that what Empress Ruan wanted to discuss with her would definitely not be a good thing. This woman would not think of her if she had good things.

"I want you to persuade the prince to accept the legitimate daughter of Prince Ming, one of the six major families, as his concubine."

When Hua Shuxue heard this, smoke started to rise from her head. She knew that this woman must be up to no good as soon as she told her. She stared at Empress Ruan with cold eyes. When she saw Emperor Wenshun doting on other women,

, the heartache is unbearable, why do you still want to embarrass her?

But before Hua Shuxue could say anything, Empress Ruan stretched out her hand to signal her to stay calm.

"Don't get excited. I know that you don't want Yue'er to accept other women as concubines, but right now he doesn't have any power behind him. Other families have their uncle's support, but the Ruan family behind me is simply not powerful.

So Yue'er stands alone

How can he ascend to the throne of the emperor firmly if he is content in the court? If he accepts Princess Ming's woman as his concubine, Prince Ming's Mansion will be the support behind him, and the throne of the emperor will definitely be stable.

In his hands, it will not be used with ulterior motives."

This last sentence naturally meant something. Queen Ruan's words made Hua Shuxue choked and speechless. Yes, as the prince of the East Palace, there is no power behind him to rely on. It is indeed easy for others to touch him.

position, but Yue is not someone else at all. She believes that with his ability, even if he has no power, he can firmly stand on the court and ascend to the position of emperor. How can Yu Wenrou change his position?

No.

Also, if Empress Ruan is not hostile to the people in the Prince's Mansion, can't she help Yue? The heart is connected to the heart, and its sharpness can break the metal. I am afraid that others will not be able to move it. Thinking of this, Hua Shuxue said in a deep voice:

"If the Queen Mother does not always target the Prince's Mansion, but helps the Prince's Mansion, then who else can shake his position."

Queen Ruan slowly raised her lips and looked at Hua Shuxue: "I am getting older, how can I always follow Yue'er."

Hua Shuxue did not agree with her statement and continued: "Mother, don't you understand how heartbreaking it is for a woman to see her husband marry and take concubines, so why do she have to embarrass her sons and ministers again and again?"

After hearing Hua Shuxue's accusation, Empress Ruan naturally thought of Emperor Wenshun. Her face was paler than before. Hua Shuxue was also very intolerable at the moment, but thinking of her repeatedly asking her to persuade Xuanyuan to accept the concubine, she

I was so angry that I just pretended I didn't see him.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in from outside the palace and quickly reported: "The Queen, Concubine Rou is here."

Ruan Hou's face darkened, his whole body felt cold and gloomy, he pursed his lips tightly, and even clenched his hands subconsciously. His breathing became rapid, but he quickly adjusted his breathing, and his posture straightened involuntarily, as if he was so proud.

The snow stood as tall as a green pine, and he calmly waved his hand to order the eunuch.

"Herald her in."

"Yes, empress."

Hua Shuxue stopped talking, but her face didn't look good either. She looked out of the hall in silence. Soon, a graceful and gentle figure walked in in front of the hall. Behind her were two maids, and the three of them followed.

The golden carpet of the main hall of Chunlan Palace goes all the way inside.

Yu Wenrou's body was full of brilliance and her face was full of spring breeze. It was obvious at a glance that something happy was coming. Her face had a gentle smile that never stopped from the beginning to the end. She walked all the way to Empress Ruan and paid her respects slowly.

"Rou'er has met the Queen."

"Get up, Concubine Rou, please sit down."

Queen Ruan, who was at the head, sat down calmly. This woman clearly had ulterior motives for coming here today, so she wanted to see how she showed off her achievements later.

Yu Wenrou walked aside and sat down, and then said with a smile: "Rou'er has always wanted to come to pay her respects to the Queen, but the Emperor has always disagreed. I hope the Queen will forgive me."

Hua Shuxue looked at this woman coldly, why is she so hypocritical? The emperor refused to let her come before, so why are you here now?

She stared at Yu Wenrou and wanted to see who had disguised her. This woman was very powerful, and she really didn't look like someone who could be raised by ordinary people, so she suspected that she must not be the real Yu Wenrou, but who was she disguised in?

What about Rong? I really couldn’t find a flaw for a while.

Yu Wenrou, who was opposite her, saw that Hua Shuxue had been staring at her, and she couldn't help but be wary, and acted more and more carefully. She knew that Hua Shuxue, who was opposite her, was a very shrewd person, and she must not reveal any flaws, so she smiled softly and spoke.

: "Why does the Crown Princess keep staring at me?"

"I'm just surprised. Concubine Rou said that my father has always disagreed with you coming to Chunlan Palace to pay your respects to your mother, but now my father has agreed."

Yu Wenrou was a little annoyed by Hua Shuxue's pointed question, but she smiled calmly: "Last night, the imperial doctor diagnosed me as pregnant, so the emperor allowed me to take a walk, so I got up early and walked around.

Let's go, who knew that as we walked, we came to the vicinity of Chunlan Palace. Now that we are here, it would be disrespectful to the queen not to come in and say hello, so Rou'er came into the palace."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou, is really interested."

Hua Shuxue protracted her voice, and Yu Wenrou looked at her, her face darkened slightly, and then her eyes turned red: "I don't know why the Crown Princess keeps targeting me. If there is anything wrong with me, the Crown Princess can

Point it out."

Hua Shuxue almost vomited. This woman was so good at pretending that she was really hateful. She had always thought that her father was a good man. Why did she like such a fake fairy woman and get her pregnant? It was really disgusting.

It's unbearable.

At the top of the hall, Empress Ruan glanced at Yu Wenrou and said politely: "Concubine Rou, you have seen this and shown off, can you go back? Remember, if you are pregnant, you can still raise it in Tianzhu Palace with peace of mind.

The baby is the one, don't run around, because when the time comes, you don't know who will be the unlucky one."

As soon as Ruan Hou finished speaking, Concubine Rou's face darkened, her fingernails dug into her flesh, and she cursed these two women bitterly in her heart. None of them were good, she thought in her heart, but her mouth echoed the words.

"What the Queen taught you is that Rou'er will go back now."

Concubine Rou had just walked out, but before she left the main hall, she heard Hou Ruan's sudden voice behind her: "Crown Princess, go back and think about it carefully. I have already decided to let the crown prince accept a concubine."

"What?"

Hua Shuxue thought that Empress Ruan had forgotten this matter, but she didn't expect that she would repeat the same old words again. Not to mention how ugly her face was, she stood up directly and coldly refused: "Empress, please don't make such an idea, I won't

Agreed."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, ignoring Empress Ruan who had a dark look behind her.

Concubine Rou who walked first outside the main hall heard the voices in the main hall and sneered on her lips. She thought the relationship between the two people was very good, but it turned out that it was nothing more than that. It seemed that Empress Ruan didn't like Hua Shuxue.

Such a daughter-in-law is really true. I heard that Xuanyuan Yue loves flowers.

Shuxue was very fond of her, and if Empress Ruan provoked Hua Shuxue, there would be another turmoil between the queen and the prince.

In the Chunlan Palace, Hua Shuxue's face was cold. She stood up abruptly and looked at Empress Ruan who was looking up. Then she was too lazy to pay attention to Empress Ruan who was looking up. Originally, she had always thought that Empress Ruan had some difficulties, although she had always disliked her.

But for the sake of Yue, she still didn’t want to annoy her, and seeing that she liked her three children very much, she

She thought she had accepted her to some extent, but she didn't expect that now she was asked to agree to Xuanyuan accept the daughter of Prince Ming's Palace as the concubine of the Prince's Palace. She never thought that Xuanyuan would accept another woman as his concubine. If

If this was the case, she could imagine that one day she would end up depressed.

Therefore, although she knew that the women from Prince Yuenaming's palace were concubines and were beneficial to his country, she could not generously let him marry another woman, so she could only go against Empress Ruan's wishes.

Even if she hated her even more because of this, there was nothing she could do. Thinking of Hua Shuxue, she stood up and gave a slow salute.
