Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 61
"Okay! Okay, you walk the talk and lead by example!"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she sneered again and again: "Shen Xiang gave birth to a good daughter, but I don't know if you have heard that there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is to have no offspring!"

"You want Chen'er to be the last! You have such a vicious heart!"

After being reprimanded continuously, the audience was scared to death. Even the queen next to her wanted to help, but she didn't dare to touch the queen mother's bad luck at this time.

However, Xiao Chen stepped forward, with a tall figure standing in front of Shen Ruo: "Queen Mother, I have regarded Lin'er as my own, and I want to train him wholeheartedly, so I discussed with Ruo'er not to have another child." This matter has nothing to do with her, if you want to be angry, blame it on me!"

"You! Chen'er, you are so confused. Could it be that you were bewitched by that vixen?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she patted the armrest, her voice trembling, and the girl in green who was waiting on her side hurriedly stepped forward to caress her back, "Quiet Queen, please don't get angry!"

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the girl in green in an instant, her expression sank, and she said suddenly: "Zhizhou, you were raised by the Ai family, and you are a good girl. Today, the Ai family will give you a good marriage to marry King Jing." As a side concubine, would you like to?"

The girl was taken aback, but before she could answer, she was interrupted by a low and sullen voice from below: "Queen Mother, my grandson disagrees!"

The queen mother glared at him: "Shut up, the Ai family didn't ask you!"

Immediately, he looked at the girl in green again, with loving and gentle eyes: "Zhizhou, are you willing? The Ai family knows that it would be wronged for you to be a side concubine, but don't worry, the Ai family will support you, and when you marry No one in Prince Jing's Mansion dares to bully you."

The girl in green bowed, her slender and soft figure was like a tender willow in spring, graceful and graceful, her cheeks were slightly red: "Zhizhou...you all listen to the Queen Mother."

When the queen mother saw it, she took the girl's little hand in relief, patted it, and said with a loving smile: "Okay, okay, you will be the granddaughter-in-law of the Ai family in the future, why are you called the queen mother, please change your mouth soon..."

Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Xiao Chen was in a hurry and suddenly said loudly: "Queen Mother, no!"

The Empress Dowager's face instantly pulled down, it was dark and displeased: "Xiao Chen, this marriage was arranged by the Ai family, do you dare to resist the order?"

"Grandson doesn't dare, it's just..." He took a deep breath, and said with a bit of weird awkwardness, "Grandson... can't be humane..."

After this word came out, the following words became more fluent: "In order not to hinder Miss Pei's future happiness, my grandson cannot marry!"

"What did you say?"

The queen mother stood up in shock, and at the same time, the voice of the second prince was compounded in the voice. Sensing the eyes of the people around him, he smiled coyly, and shook the fan in his hand: "I am an older brother, not caring about my younger brother." Well."

There was complexity in his eyes, and he looked at Xiao Chen: "Seventh brother, this is a big matter related to a man's dignity, don't tell such a big lie just to get rid of the marriage..."

"Second brother also said that this is a major matter related to the dignity of a man. Besides, the emperor and empress dowager are here, so how dare I lie and deceive the king."

Xiao Chen stood tall, facing the strange gazes around him, still did not change his expression, and said calmly: "Originally only the princess and I knew about this matter, but now that the matter has come to this point, I have no choice but to reveal the truth."

He looked at the Empress Dowager without closing his eyes, and bowed his hands high: "The grandson thanked the Empress Dowager for the reward, but for Miss Pei's happiness, the grandson must not accept it."

"..." The Empress Dowager stared at him, seeing that he looked so calm, she just felt that he was just making excuses for evasion.

But if it is exposed, it is a serious crime to deceive the emperor. Even if he is the emperor's son, he will be severely punished.

While the two hesitated, the queen mother snorted coldly: "Okay, it sounds like you are wronged, the Ai family still doesn't want to marry such a good girl as Zhizhou to you."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, the emperor lightly patted the frightened child in his arms, and said unhurriedly: "What the mother said is that Miss Pei is well-educated, and she is from a scholarly family. Marrying Chen'er as a side concubine is wronged." After that, Erchen will definitely help Miss Pei find a good marriage, so don't be angry with the queen mother."

Pei Zhizhou lightly thanked her for her kindness, and then helped the queen mother back to her seat, but after such a commotion, the queen mother didn't have the heart to eat, she took two mouthfuls, put back the chopsticks, got up and left the table.

The empress dowager had already left, and it was not appropriate to continue the banquet, so the emperor waved his hand and let everyone leave.

Before leaving, the emperor took Lin'er to his mother's side, touched Lin'er's head again, and said to Shen Ruo lightly, but the superior has been in power for a long time, and there is always an unconscious command tone: "Lin'er is a good man." child, teach him well."

Shen Ruo nodded and said yes, the emperor looked at Xiao Chen next to him again, and his eyes became more complicated: "Your mother...forget it, it's been so many years, no matter how much you say, people can't come back, You and the concubine will live a good life in the future, and don't think about revenge, stay away from this court matter."

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, but still did not answer after all.

Seeing this, the emperor frowned deeply, seeming to be angry, but in the end he remembered something and returned to peace. He just glanced at him, then shook his sleeves and left.

Shen Ruo looked between the two, and suddenly said: "The emperor must have loved your mother."

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the emperor is interested in Lin'er.

Xiao Chen looked down at her, and mockery flashed in his eyes: "But it can't compare to his love for power."

He let out a deep breath, unwilling to mention these old things again: "Go back, I hate this place."

She looked up at him and said with a smile: "It's rare that we both think the same, and I hate this place too."

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other. At this time, Lin'er came up and shouted: "Me too, I hate this too. Everyone is so fierce and loses their temper at every turn."

Listening to the childish words, Xiao Chen laughed loudly, bent down and hugged Lin'er: "Lin'er hates this, we will come here less often, and we will never see these annoying people again."

The three of them left the palace in a harmonious atmosphere and boarded the carriage of the palace.

The wheels rolled forward all the way, leaving the huge palace behind.

In the carriage, Shen Ruo hugged Lin'er and yawned with a listless expression. Xiao Chen who was sitting opposite saw her and asked with concern: "Sleepy?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." She responded lightly, and seeing Xiao Chen's expression was a little strange, she asked one more question, "What's wrong?"

But before he could answer, the outside of the car was gradually covered by the noise of people. She opened the curtain and saw that it turned into a bustling street party at some point.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the curfew is suspended, and the people in the capital will spontaneously hold a Lantern Festival. Would you like to visit with me?"

The dim candlelight that came in from the car window was reflected in the black eyes of the man in front of him, shining brightly and touchingly.
