Chapter 357 Mother and Son
"Come here earlier in the future, so as not to be talked about." Empress Dowager Qi smiled, and she didn't seem to be displeased at all.

However, they did not dare to take it lightly.

Empress Dowager Qi looked at the beautiful concubines in the palace, and said: "The emperor is 21 years old this year, and it's time to have a child of his own. Please work harder."

Everyone should be.

In the scorching summer, after the Empress Dowager Qi rewarded everyone with mung bean soup, she let them retire, leaving only Qi Ru behind.

"Aru." Empress Dowager Qi looked at her niece with a slight smile on her face, "I hope that you are the first person in this palace to give birth to the emperor's heir."

Empress Dowager Qi's biological daughter followed Lu Qian, and Qi Ru was her closest niece.

The Empress Dowager Qi not only hoped that Qi Ru would be the first to give birth to Lu Zhan's child, but also hoped that this child would be the crown prince.

Qi Ru was a little shy, but then a little apprehensive, "But Lu Zhan seems to like that little bitch Zhen Baozhu more."

"In the past, Lu Zhan acted on my orders to please Zhen Baozhu. Now that he is firmly seated on the throne, he naturally doesn't need to please a little Zhen Baozhu. Besides, men are passionate and lustful by nature. There are mourners, and the emperor sees them as mourners." In terms of face, I will always treat you a little differently."

When Qi Ru heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help imagining the scene where he gave birth to an heir and was named queen.

Everyone knows that now that the Shen family has lost power, the reason why Shen Yue can still sit in the position of empress is because the Empress Dowager is still there.

But the Empress Dowager was getting old, once the Empress Dowager left, Shen Yue had nothing to rely on, it was only a matter of time before she was deposed.

Qi Ru came out of Empress Dowager Qi's palace, and when she passed by the Imperial Garden, Empress Shen happened to be at the side.

Qi Ru underestimated Empress Shen from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't really want to greet Empress Shen, so she planned to pretend that she didn't see Empress Shen.

"Sister Qi," Shen Yue took the initiative to greet her.

This time I can't pretend that I didn't see it, Qi Ru wanted to salute Shen Yue, Shen Yue hurriedly grabbed Qi Ru's hand, "Sister Qi, you are polite."

"Sister Qi is the direct niece of the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor's favourite. Even this palace dare not accept the gift from Sister Qi casually."

Shen Yue waved her hand, signaling all the maidservants around to retreat.

"Sister Qi, the position of virtuous concubine was vacated back then, and I originally wanted to sell my mother, the empress dowager, to save face, and help my younger sister to be a virtuous concubine. I didn't want the emperor to go my own way, so I must make Zhen's daughter a virtuous concubine. There is nothing the palace can do to help." Shen Yue meant something, "Everyone in the palace has said that the emperor loves Concubine Zhen Xian the most, not sister Qi."

Qi Ru gritted her teeth and said, "That means none of them know the truth of the matter."

"The emperor loves me the most. Even in the past, he used Zhen Baozhu as my shield. The emperor just likes me so much that he is afraid that I will be in danger."

Even though she wanted to frame Zhen Baozhu because of falling into the water, Lu Zhan finally turned to Zhen Baozhu.

But Qi Ru still felt that Lu Zhan didn't protect her just to protect her.

Especially since Empress Dowager Qi said just now that Lu Zhan only used Zhen Baozhu in the past.

Seeing this, Empress Shen said: "Since this is the case, the palace will arrange for sister Qi to sleep in bed today."

Qi Ru immediately frowned, "The concubine will remember the empress's kindness today, and if the queen has something to do in the future, just tell the concubine to do it."

She said with a condescending attitude.

Shen Yue didn't take it seriously at all, "Sister Qi is really polite."

Qi Ru left first, and the palace servants around Shen Yue were quite dissatisfied, "This Concubine Qi doesn't care much about the Empress, seeing her arrogant appearance, I really want to step forward and tear her apart Q."

Shen Yue said indifferently: "It's just a clown, why bother to get angry with her."

"Besides, this palace is now just occupying the title of queen. In fact, the queen who has lost the support of the family is just an existence that everyone can step on if they want to step on it."

"The empress doesn't have to belittle herself like this." The palace man grew up with Empress Shen, "The empress looks good, and she is smart. If you want to win the emperor's favor, it is easy to think about it."

"Even if you can't get the emperor's love, you are the empress, and you can still hold the children of the concubines under your knees and raise them as your sons. After all, you don't want to please a little Qi concubine."

The palace man couldn't help sighing, the queen is fine, but her health is not very good, and she will not be able to have her own children in this life.

Empress Shen put away her smile, "Don't say that in the future, I won't raise his heir."

Then return to the palace.

After Lu Zhan came down to court, he came to the Empress Dowager Qi.

Empress Dowager Qi said: "You are hungry, Aijia has someone prepare breakfast for you in advance."

After all, the Empress Dowager Qi and Lu Zhan sat at the dining table together.

Empress Dowager Qi changed from her previous stern attitude, and there was a faint halo of loving mother in her eyes.

"You child, you have suffered a lot in the past, and now you have finally come to the end of your hardships. I am sorry for you." Empress Dowager Qi couldn't help crying, "Our mother and I used to suffer too much."

"When I was the princess of Jiangling, there was an old concubine watching from above, and there were many concubines below. All my brothers wanted to drag me down from the position of concubine. As a mother, I dare not relax for a moment."

"Later, I brought you home. You were only seven years old at that time, several years younger than Ah Wan."

"If I hadn't pitied and loved you, I would not have taken you under my knees."

"It's just that our situation was too difficult at that time. I was afraid that if I let you relax for a moment, our mother and daughter would be bitten to pieces in this palace."

"Zhan'er, can you understand mother?"

Empress Dowager Qi knew that now Lu Zhan was no longer the little boy she had just brought home, he had become the emperor.

In the past, he relied on her as his aunt.

Now it's her who relies on him.

In front of Lu Zhan, the Empress Dowager Qi was able to put down her figure very well.

Lu Zhan said: "The mother's words are serious. Without the patience of the mother when she was a son and a minister, there would be no son and a minister today."

"The queen mother pretended to be sick for many years, and the son always remembered."

"Although 14 years have passed, Erchen still remembers that it was the queen mother who brought me back to the palace and gave Erchen a home. You are not my biological mother, but you are better than my biological mother who treated me."

His eyes were extremely sincere, "In front of my son and minister, there is no need for empress mother to panic, you just need to be yourself."

Empress Dowager Qi has always known that Lu Zhan is a grateful person, otherwise she would not have adopted him.

After getting the answer she wanted, Queen Mother Qi let out a sigh of relief.

"You can't say that," Empress Dowager Qi said again: "After all, Mrs. Liu is your biological mother, and you should go and see her."

Speaking of Queen Mother Liu, Lu Zhan was at a loss for a moment, and then said: "She abandoned me first, and since then, I have only your queen mother."

"Now she is living the life she wants to live. She has become a queen mother and can enjoy all kinds of glory and wealth. She probably doesn't need my son."
