The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 157
To be honest, although she has served the Empress for many years, all she sees in her eyes is His Majesty's kindness to the Empress.

But even so, she would not naively think that men in the world are like His Majesty, who only have wives by their side and do not take concubines.

The distant cousin's tricks are not very high, as long as she is not stupid, one can find that her motives are not pure.

Once, twice, three times...

Three times in a row, he willingly walked into the trap.

The third time she looked into He Ying's eyes, she was not sad at that moment, but relieved.

At that moment, Ruotong understood that she and He Ying may have some fate, but these fates are not enough for them to go through the rest of their lives hand in hand.

Ruotong took Qin Shu who was playing in the courtyard out of Shengning Palace, and then walked to the Imperial Garden.

He casually summoned another palace man to give some instructions.

After a while, several palace people entered Shengning Palace with snacks in their hands.

Gu Ruzhen's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "Let's have a taste, this is a new style and taste made by the royal chef in the dining room, I heard it is very good."

One of the ladies couldn't wait to take a piece and put it in her mouth. She wanted to be the first to tell her how she felt about eating this pastry, but she froze in place before she could speak.

Thinking of where she was now, she resisted the urge to cough and drank two cups of tea before giving up.

"Mrs. Chen? But this pastry is not to your liking?"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly picked up another piece, with a wry smile in her heart, still maintaining a gentle and respectful face, "The cakes made by the dining room are naturally extremely delicious, but my wife eats quickly, so I have to drink water immediately when I choke. .”

Gu Ruzhen nodded and said a few words of persuasion, "You can eat slowly, if you like later, I will order them to make a few more boxes for you to take back."

"Eat it too, take advantage of the freshness of the newly made ones."

A few moments later, several ladies in the palace showed the same expressions and movements. They panickedly picked up the teacups on the side and poured tea into their stomachs.

Gu Ruzhen just pretended not to see it, casually took a flower branch, and trimmed off the slanted twig.

The wives understood what she meant, and sat for a while and got up to say goodbye, but Gu Ruzhen didn't keep anyone, but let a few palace servants send them out.

Before having dinner at night, Qin Shu squatted at the corner of the table and muttered something.

Her temperament is like this, she doesn't like to talk and is very quiet on weekdays, but sometimes she talks to herself in the corner.

Gu Ruzhen listened to it once, and lost interest in listening to it after hearing a long list of what to say.

"Mother's queen." She stood up suddenly, ran over with a pair of short legs swinging, hugged her legs with both hands and blinked her bright eyes.

She seldom made such childish movements, so Gu Ruzhen bent down and touched her head strangely, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shu's gaze moved upwards slowly, and finally landed on Gu Ruzhen's abdomen, "Mother, is there a younger brother here?"

Gu Ruzhen's complexion turned cold instantly, but she was worried about scaring Qin Shu, so she tried her best to suppress her emotions.

"No, why did Shushu say that?"

Qin Shu frowned in distress, "Shu Shu wants a younger brother."

Gu Ruzhen led her to the ground beside her, which was covered with a blanket, she sat down cross-legged and asked Qin Shu to sit across from her.

"Why?" Gu Ruzhen gently arranged the messy little bells on her hair, and continued, "Shushu never wanted a younger brother before, can you tell the mother the reason?"

Qin Shu still didn't know that her mother's anger had reached her throat at this moment, and she was only about to burst out at the door.

"My younger brother is smart. He can talk and play with Shushu. The other children who enter the palace can only cry and make trouble."

The children who enter the palace refer to the children of the courtiers in Shengjingli who are similar in age to the Shushu.

There is only such a concubine in the imperial city now, and everyone feels that no matter what, the concubine Zhaoming must be extremely favored by the emperor in this life.

So they had many thoughts in their minds, such as sending their grandson of about the same age to the palace, maybe they would be lucky enough to be favored by the empress and make a marriage contract with Emperor Zhaoming.

But these children sent to the palace to play with Qin Shu are young, they always cry when they leave their families suddenly, they are finally coaxed and want to play with Qin Shu, and Qin Shu casually throws them a nine chain ring.

Three or four-year-old children don't know how to untie the nine chains, and after being confused, they play with the nine chains.

Seeing the disgust visible to the naked eye on her face, Gu Ruzhen found it interesting. She first kept her previous anger and asked, "Then what if my younger brother can only cry and make trouble?"

Qin Shu was taken aback, and there was a lot of panic in her eyes. She shook her head hastily, "This is impossible, my brother must be very smart."

"But what if? What if my younger brother can't understand what Shushu said, and keeps crying?"

Qin Shu thought about it seriously for a while, then lowered his head in frustration.

After a few moments, she raised her head resolutely, "Queen, is it really possible that my brother is not smart?"

"Of course it's possible." Gu Ruzhen picked up the tiger-head hat that was put aside and waved it in front of her eyes, "Think about it, isn't there one of Lingxiao's children who still can't figure out the way to Shengning Palace? "

This example was so vivid that it made Qin Shu become dumb all of a sudden.

She poked her fingers in embarrassment, and bit her lips tightly, "If my brother is not smart, Shushu can teach him."

Hearing this, Gu Ruzhen smiled and put the tiger head hat back to its original position, then looked at Qin Shu, "Then Shushu, if you have a younger brother, you may have to give half of all your things to him, are you willing?" ?"

Qin Shu tilted his head, "If there is a younger brother, will the queen mother only like the younger brother and not Shu Shu?"

"of course not."

Qin Shu nodded, very solemnly, "Then Shushu is willing to give everything to my younger brother."

"But, Shushu doesn't need to do that." Gu Ruzhen looked at her, and gently bent the corners of her lips, "Shushu doesn't need to give away what he has because of his father, queen mother or other people. It is Shushu's own thing, and he wants to keep it or how to make a decision without anyone's interference."

"Then can you tell the queen mother now, who told you about your brother?"

Qin Shu raised her head, she didn't sleep because of this matter at noon, so she rubbed her eyes sleepily, afraid that her eyes would turn red, Gu Ruzhen quickly stopped her, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil moistened with water.

"It's Mrs. Zheng. She said that the mother will be pregnant soon, and I will have a younger brother."

"Is that all?"

Qin Shu didn't nod her head, she was taught not to lie to her father and queen, but she really didn't want to repeat those words, so her little face was wrinkled and tangled together.
