After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

After Yu Changsheng left, she had been paying close attention to the Queen Mother's activities, but due to her physical inconvenience, it was Xia He who went to ask about the situation on her behalf.

When he came back for the third time, Xia He's complexion was no longer good.

Ke Yiqing's heart couldn't help but twitch, and she asked worriedly: "What's going on? Why is this expression?"

"Madam, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess seem to be having a quarrel."

She was stunned and started to argue?

There are only two outcomes, either the Queen Mother agrees to her leaving the palace, or the matter is not discussed. Judging from the eldest princess's attitude towards her just now, Ke Yiqing is not confident enough to think that the eldest princess will quarrel with the Queen Mother because of her.

"Can you find out why?"

Xia He shook his head, "Mama Zhao has given instructions not to let the slaves and others in."

If the maid is not allowed in, then she can go alone, right?
So she stood up with great effort, because her stomach was getting heavier and she rarely went out recently, so as soon as she arrived at the main hall, she attracted the attention of Aunt Zhao.

"Oh, madam, it's freezing outside, how can you come out casually?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but my wife is just walking around at will."

Even so, her constant gaze into the palace revealed her true thoughts.

Aunt Zhao was not stupid, and the eldest princess’s purpose of coming this time was very clear. She persuaded her: “It would be fine if Madam succeeds, but if she fails, how will the Queen Mother treat you? Have you thought about it?”

"Mommy, I don't want my life and death to be controlled by others, nor do I want to follow the path arranged by others."

Aunt Zhao disagreed very much, "Isn't it true that the whole world is a royal land? If the Queen Mother is angered, how can she live a good life?"

Ke Yiqing smiled and said nothing.

Good days?Does being locked up in a palace to raise a fetus count?
No one has ever loved anyone like this, but she doesn’t want it anyway.

The commotion in the main hall became louder and louder, and there was a sudden banging sound, which shocked everyone outside the door, but those inside were silent for a while.

Soon, an old female voice was heard: "Get out of the Ai family, the Ai family doesn't have a daughter like you!"

Following a burst of messy footsteps, the palace door was pushed open by the eldest princess.

Her hairpin is all gone, but there is still a red paw print on her well-maintained face?

Even if the Queen Mother doesn't agree to let her out of the palace, she won't slap the eldest princess in the face, right?Ke Yiqing was shocked and confused. She was about to speak, but someone stopped her.

The eldest princess smiled sarcastically: "Mrs. Ke, I'm afraid I won't be able to do what I promised you before. You can take care of yourself in the future."

She stepped back half a step and saluted: "My wife would also like to thank the eldest princess for her turn."

"Huh, now that things have happened, you are still a decent person."

The fact that the other party was still so calm and self-possessed despite the failure made the eldest princess look at her a few times, so she suppressed the tears in her eyes and just straightened up her appearance like no one else.

But for a moment, she was still the eldest princess looking down on the world. If the fingerprints on her face were not still red and swollen, even Ke Yiqing would be confused as to whether what he just saw was fake.

Aunt Zhao didn't dare to ask the eldest princess, so she thought of going in to serve her, but was choked by the eldest princess's words.

"Mommy, my mother is very angry right now. You are such an old man, so you better not go in and suffer."

Although the words were unpleasant, the truth was such that everyone did not dare to act rashly. Although they wanted to ask the eldest princess what happened, they did not give them a chance, and soon the purple leather cloak disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Ke Yiqing went back thoughtfully and discussed with Xia He for a whole night, but still had no clue.

Early the next morning, it was not Xia He who woke her up, but Aunt Zhao. "Now that Madam is awake, get up and wash up quickly. The Queen Mother is still waiting for you."

She was startled, and quickly got up to freshen up and dress up. When she arrived at the main hall, it was just as Aunt Zhao said, the Queen Mother was waiting for her.

Ke Yiqing nodded obediently and saluted: "My wife is late, please don't blame me."

To her surprise, the Queen Mother was quite gentle. Instead of scolding her more, she said that Aunt Zhao was not considerate enough and should let her sleep a little longer.

This meal made her frightened. Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not have the habit of talking while eating, otherwise the appointment would be even more difficult.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. If there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave now." She was about to salute again, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

The other party patted her hand affectionately like an ordinary charitable old woman.

"Good boy, now that you are inconvenienced, if you come to Ai's house in the future, you will be able to avoid all these false courtesy."

"How can this work?"

Just as she was about to say something else, the Empress Dowager could not refuse and said: "The Ai family has been copying Buddhist scriptures recently. The Buddha's nature nourishes people. From now on, you can join the Ai family in worshiping the Buddha sincerely."

As he said that, Aunt Zhao stepped forward and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true. I have already prepared the things. I'm just waiting for the Queen Mother and Madam to come over together."

With a few words, her next range of activities was locked again.

The Queen Mother wanted to keep her under her nose. No wonder she said how could she be so gentle, she was waiting here.

Xia He knelt down and kowtowed: "Please take back the Queen Mother's life. Madam, her current body is really not suitable for copying Buddhist scriptures!"

Ke Yiqing's face turned pale, "You are a fool, you have no right to interrupt what the master is saying!"

She could just fold in. Wouldn't it be easier to deal with Xia He when he jumped out?

The Queen Mother looked at them quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Helpless, she had no choice but to kneel along with him.

After a long time, Nanny Zhao couldn't stand it any longer, so she knelt down and said, "Please think again, the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was a little surprised and said: "Mother Zhao, why do you have to plead for her?"

"My servant loves Mrs. Ke. Her body is already very fragile, and she has been poisoned like that, and she still has a fetus in her belly. Even if you don't think about Mrs. Ke, you must still think about the child!"

If it were more than ten years ago, the Queen Mother would have said the right thing, but now she is old and her heart has softened a lot. At the New Year's Banquet, she could let Li Yue go because she considered the Eleventh Prince, but now she is also shaken by this.

Finally, she sighed: "That's all. Since you are still weak, just bring me a few volumes of copied Buddhist scriptures every day."

"It's the Queen Mother."

Aunt Zhao sent her to the side hall and gave her a few words of sincere advice, but nothing more than listening to the Queen Mother's words.

Previously, Ke Yiqing only regarded her as an old servant of the Queen Mother, but now she had an unusual feeling.

She stepped forward and held the other person's hand tightly, saying: "I never expected that in the end, grandma would sacrifice her life to protect me. I will never forget this kind of kindness."

If she really listened to the Queen Mother's words, I'm afraid there would be no way for her to turn over, and she would have to keep company with Buddhist scriptures all day long.

Aunt Zhao taught her like an elder, "Just remember, in this harem, even if you have some cleverness, you have to hide it well."
