In the evening, Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun came to Zhanghua Palace together and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager.

"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law pays respects to Grandmother."

"Grandson pays respects to the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager quickly helped them up, and said with a smile, "It's cold on the ground, get up quickly."

"Grandmother, how is your body recently? Is your back pain better? Do you still cough at night?" Shen Qinglan asked.

The Empress Dowager pulled her to sit down, and said: "You girl, the emperor's grandmother is getting old, and it's common to be a little sick, but you, how is your body?"

"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law is much better. She can eat and sleep now, and she has gained a lot of weight!" Shen Qinglan replied with a smile.

"That's good, you don't have to be afraid of being fatter, and you look better when you are fatter!" The empress dowager smiled, looked at Zhao Shun again, and said, "Linchuan, you should also pay more attention to your body. It can't be done."

"Yes, grandson will pay attention. Grandmother, I heard from Sisi that you were not in good health a while ago and often suffered from low back pain. Grandson thought that doctors in Sichuan are good at treating such diseases, so he specially sent someone to find a prescription. I bought some ointments unique to Sichuan, and you will be relieved after using them."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, Yan'er immediately delivered the prescription and a box of plasters to Zhou Neishi.

"Grandmother, if you use good words, we will send them to you." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun chuckled, "Grandmother, we are blood relatives, how could I hold grudges for the rest of my life because of those trivial things? Filial piety to you is also my duty as a grandson, and it is not worth mentioning at all. To be honest, my grandson also I once complained about you, but my grandson couldn’t figure out why you only hated me because he was also your grandson. Later, I also figured it out, it’s not your fault at all, it’s all Kim’s instigation.”

"Grandmother, you haven't eaten the dishes made by your granddaughter-in-law. How about showing your granddaughter-in-law to you today?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Grandmother, was the prince very naughty when he was young?" Shen Qinglan asked with a smile.

"En! Not bad, the Ai family has never eaten such a novel dish. I didn't expect the granddaughter-in-law of the Ai family to know so many. It's cheaper than this brat!" The Empress Dowager laughed.

The Empress Dowager nodded, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "Emperor Taizu has always attached great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony has been held for so many years. The former emperor has left, and now these things fall on your head. Even if the throne is vacant, this matter cannot be sloppy."

"Not only that, but he also hid your grandpa's cane. Your father asked him, but he said that he forgot where he hid it. As a result, the cane has not been found until now." The Empress Dowager said.

"Wow! When you have a child, remember to let him often come to Zhanghua Palace to accompany Aijia." The imperial grandmother laughed.

"Linchuan, the Ai family has been treating you harshly all these years. It's hard for you, a child, to think about being filial to the emperor's grandmother." The Empress Dowager said.

"It turns out that the prince has liked to fold flower branches since he was a child!" Shen Qinglan said with a smile.

Looking at the huge palace, Shen Qinglan asked: "My lord, don't you feel scared living here? This bedroom is too empty."

"I've lived here since I was a child, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I'm used to it," Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan took a look at Zhao Shun, "My grandson didn't realize that the prince was like this when he was a child, but now he looks a bit scary. Grandson hopes that when she has a child in the future, she won't be as difficult to manage as the prince, grandson If the daughter-in-law can't control her anymore, she has to be sent to the palace to be raised by the emperor's grandmother."

"Linchuan, you are so old, you still don't know how to love others." The Empress Dowager laughed.

"The throne has been vacant for so long, and the royal family's aggressive actions will definitely cause trouble. Taking this opportunity, it's time to rectify the court. Linchuan, have you thought about it?" the Empress Dowager asked.

"Please rest assured, Grandmother, grandson is ready."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "The Ai family is also at fault, the Ai family...believes people who shouldn't."

"The grandson must pay attention to what the imperial grandmother taught me next time." Zhao Shun said.

The Empress Dowager nodded, "You and your wife are interested. Sisi, you haven't stayed overnight in the palace yet, have you? Why don't you leave tonight and have dinner with the emperor's grandmother, how about it?"

Only then did she know that it was so easy and pleasant to let go of her identity and get along with the younger generation, and only in this way could it be considered the real family happiness.

At night, Zhao Shun and Shen Qinglan lived together in Zhanghua Palace.

"Okay, the emperor's grandmother is still kind to Sisi. Sisi has been to Da Nei so many times, and she hasn't even eaten a bite of cake from Qinxian Hall." Shen Qinglan said.

"Grandson understands and is ready." Zhao Shun said.

"My lord, then... At that time, you must be very scared?" Shen Qinglan asked again.

This night, the Empress Dowager was very happy, she hadn't been this happy for many years.

"Grandmother, those things are over, and the most important thing is that our grandparents and grandchildren will be compatible in the future." Zhao Shun said.

"It's not terrible to live here, it's terrible to be abandoned." Zhao Shun said, holding her in his arms, "Now that you are here, my heart will not be empty."

"Okay! The Ai family will be lucky tonight!"

After staying for not long, Shen Qinglan offered to help in the dining room. After she left, the Empress Dowager sent everyone in the palace out.

"That's not right! No son in the entire capital is more mischievous than him! At that time, Ai's family had a red plum tree, and he came to pay his respects to Ai's family, and he broke off the whole red plum tree in a short time. It came down, and that red plum tree never bloomed again." The Empress Dowager said.

"That's for sure, Grandmother, you can try this again." Shen Qinglan said, took a piece of fish and put it in the empress dowager's bowl.

The Empress Dowager smiled, she couldn't figure out why the late emperor chose him as regent.Now it seems that the first emperor's choice was indeed a wise move.Linchuan is not only thoughtful, but also able to take one step and see ten steps. If he is the heir of the late emperor, he will definitely be a good emperor.

After nightfall, the three grandparents and grandchildren had dinner at the same table in Zhanghua Palace. Shen Qinglan introduced the dishes he made and invited the Queen Mother to taste them.

"Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days, my lord, I'm a little afraid that something will happen to you."

"No, Jing's petty tricks can't catch my eyes. However, thanks to them, this king knows the truth back then. I'm afraid Brother Wang hates them more than I do now."

Speaking of Zhao Yi, Shen Qinglan thought of Qian Lingshuang again, "I don't know how Qian Lingshuang is doing now, I really hope she can be stronger and survive this disaster."

"Brother Wang is very busy during this time, and he has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the inner house. I heard that he stayed in Hengqianyuan yesterday, with Xiao Qianning." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan snorted angrily, "Zhao Yi is such a dog, smelly and shameless!"

"It's quite a dog." Zhao Shun said with a smile.
