Chapter 43 Puppet Queen
"Queen Mother, I don't want to live anymore. I am an innocent girl from a good family!"

Early in the morning, in Cining Palace.

The girl who was driven away by Pei Zhang last night knelt in front of the Queen Mother and cried with her hair in a messy bun.

"Early in the morning, don't say anything about life or death. The Aijia knows that they have wronged you, and the Aijia will make the decision for you."

The queen mother had a headache because of the girl's quarrel, but she was indeed the one who suggested this, and she felt wrong.

The few girls who can be selected into the Queen Mother's Palace all have good family backgrounds, otherwise they would not be qualified to appear in front of the Queen Mother.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the Queen Mother and the courtiers. The courtiers sent their daughters to the palace in order to become Pei Zhang's concubine.

The Queen Mother wanted a grandson and acquiesced that she would help the woman sent to the palace to gain favor.

I thought that since Pei Zhang had relented and was willing to be drafted, he would no longer reject the woman's approach, so the Queen Mother boldly asked the woman to wait for Pei Zhang on the dragon bed.

In the stillness of the night, a beautiful lady by candlelight is not afraid of not accomplishing good things.

But no one expected that Pei Zhang would be so resistant and directly told the girl to get out.

Not to mention that the girl felt it was a loss of face, even the Queen Mother herself felt that it was a bit of a loss of face.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty" the girl burst into tears.

"Don't worry, I'll call the emperor over later and find a position for you as a concubine." The queen mother stepped forward in person, helped the girl up and made a promise.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, little girl." The girl choked with sobs, stood up with the Queen Mother's hand, and stood obediently beside her to serve her.

The Queen Mother became more and more satisfied when she saw the girl's interested appearance.

Emotions are everywhere. This girl is sober-minded and is suitable to be the emperor's concubine.

"Go and call the Emperor." The Queen Mother ordered, and then talked to the girl about common things, like the gentlest elders.

Pei Zhang came to Cining Palace late and looked ugly, especially when he saw the girl who crawled into bed last night.

"Queen Mother, I have already let go, do you have to force me like this?" Pei Zhang was so angry that he got angry in front of the Queen Mother.

The girl's eyes immediately turned red.

"Your Majesty, my little daughter should die to be a worthy member of the Pang family. The Pang family cannot have a shameless daughter like me."

"Zhang'er!"

The Queen Mother was also angry.

Even if one knows that part of the girl's behavior is pretending, it is still true that the girl's innocence is gone, and the Pang family must give an explanation.

"I didn't touch her!" Pei Zhang was extremely angry, so he went back to sleep. How could he know that there would be a woman wearing nothing on the bed.

"Your Majesty, according to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the Ai family has made the decision for you. They will designate her as your concubine." The Queen Mother made a decision directly.

"Queen Mother, how could you do this!" Pei Zhang looked at the arbitrary Queen Mother in disbelief.

"Zhang'er, the Ai family is doing this for your own good. Don't you feel the good intentions of the Ai family at all?" The queen mother said, tears streaming down her face.

Pei Zhang was silent.

His mother had been strong all her life and rarely showed such a fragile look in front of him. He really couldn't bear to disobey her.

"The queen mother makes the decision."

Mother and son broke up on bad terms, and Pei Zhang almost fled, leaving Cining Palace, which had made him extremely depressed recently.

"This treacherous son! The Ai family did this not for his own good! He is the emperor, how could he not have his own heirs!" The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest heaved violently and she slapped the table next to her.

Pang's daughter hurriedly went up to comfort the Queen Mother and comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will understand your painstaking efforts, and I will also work hard to get pregnant with the little prince as soon as possible."

After saying that, she looked shyly at her flat belly. "The Ai family knows that you are a good boy. Don't worry. If you really give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, the Ai family will not treat you badly." The Queen Mother promised, patting Pang's daughter's hand.

"I thank the Queen Mother for your love." Pang's daughter quickly knelt down to thank her.

Half a day later, Pei Zhang received the news that the Queen Mother had made Pang's daughter a concubine, and at the same time promised in public that as long as there was any movement in Pang's daughter's belly, she would be promoted to a noble concubine.

This news was like a signal. Pei Zhang found that there were more women around him who deliberately wanted to seduce him.

Before, he had always behaved in a non-womanly manner, and coupled with his usually cold appearance, few blind palace maids dared to dream of flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix.

But now that the Queen Mother's attitude was present, their courage suddenly became bolder.

Pei Zhang was filled with disgust.

"Drag him down, beat him twenty times, and send him to the Clothing Bureau."

Pei Zhang was too lazy to listen to the woman's plea for mercy and directly ordered the woman to be taken away.

To scare the monkeys, he must directly extinguish the thoughts of these palace ladies, otherwise, such things will happen one after another in the future.

The woman's cries gradually faded away, and the hall became quiet.

Pei Zhang looked at the information in his hand, which was about the mysterious woman in the restaurant.

Xie Yun stopped.

Pei Zhang's eyes stayed on the woman's name on the paper for a long time.

This is not a name that ordinary women would use. Could it be the woman's real name?

He was habitually suspicious, but for some reason, he was sure that this was the woman's real name.

He looked at the trajectory of the woman's movements after she appeared in the intelligence, and he once again confirmed that the woman was coming straight to him.

Pei Zhang even doubted whether the information he was seeing now was intended by the woman for him to see.

The woman did not hide her purpose at all, and she told him openly that her purpose was him.

for him? Why?
Pei Zhang recalled his two meetings with the woman, and the way the woman looked at him inadvertently showed familiarity.

Is she familiar with him? And for him, that weird dream also made him completely unable to reject and resist women.

Pei Zhang couldn't help but make a bold guess - the woman, like him, had the same dream as him, so she came to him.

Whether this speculation is true or not, he still needs to verify it himself.

Pei Zhang gently tapped the table with his knuckles.

Xie Yunting had been waiting in the restaurant for Pei Zhang to appear again.

But before she could wait for Pei Zhang to show up, she received news.

The king of Chu finally got the idea, adopted a woman, and directly made her a concubine.

Passers-by on the street discussed the incident happily.

Pei Zhang was very popular among the people in Chu State, and the fact that he was not close to women has always worried the people.

The people of Chu State sincerely hope that their good monarch will have someone to succeed him as soon as possible. Now that they see hope for their monarch's heirs, each one of them is even happier than his own mother-in-law is pregnant.

When Xie Yunting heard the news, the window edge under his hand suddenly turned into powder.

Pei Zhang, very good!
Xie Yun stopped laughing, but his eyes in the direction of the Chu Kingdom Palace were as cold as frost.

"An San, pack your things and return to Weiguo."
