Chapter 400 Is Feng Wuyou your childhood sweetheart?
Chang Liangyuan looked at Shen Chuwei. Minister Shen was dismissed from his post, and she was born a concubine's daughter. She had nothing to ask for, and there was really nothing she could say.
Shen Chuwei lowered her brows and nodded: "Replying to the Empress Dowager, I am from the Shen family."
The Empress Dowager was confused, "What? Shen's family? Which Shen's family?"
Chang Liangyuan took two steps forward and her position was quite conspicuous. She looked up at the Empress Dowager and saw her puzzled face. She kindly reminded: "Crown Princess, there are several people with the surname Shen. If you don't tell me clearly, the Empress Dowager doesn't know who it is."
The Empress Dowager raised her head and saw Chang Huilan. She asked with some surprise: "Isn't this Lan'er? I haven't seen you for two years. You are getting more and more beautiful."
Chang Liangyuan found that the Empress Dowager noticed her, and she bowed happily again, "Thank you for the compliment, the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Crown Princess again, "Lan'er is right, tell me clearly, which Shen family, and what rank?"
Xiao Jinyan replied on behalf of Shen Chuwei: "Grandma, the Crown Princess is the daughter of the former Minister Shen."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Crown Prince, and then looked at the Emperor. "What does 'former Minister Shen' mean? The Minister has been replaced?"
The emperor explained humbly: "Mother, Minister Shen has been replaced because he is old."
The Queen Mother nodded and looked at the Crown Princess. She frowned and looked at the Crown Prince in the emperor's arms. The little guy was staring at her with her beautiful eyes. She was a lovely child.
"The Crown Prince is already four months old? Has he been given a name?"
The emperor looked down at his granddaughter and smiled: "Mother, her name is Susu."
Then he pointed to the baby in the queen's arms and said: "He is Taotao."
"Susu?" The Queen Mother frowned, "He is the Crown Prince. Why did he take such a feminine name?"
The emperor looked down at Susu. Although she was small, she seemed to be able to feel the emotions of adults. Susu was staring at the Queen Mother with her big eyes curiously.
"Mother, she is the granddaughter of the emperor, and the one in the queen's arms is the grandson of the emperor."
"I thought you were holding the grandson of the emperor." The queen looked up at the grandson of the emperor in the queen's arms, "Let me see the grandson of the emperor."
"Yes, mother." The queen took Taotao and took a few steps forward so that the queen mother could see it clearly.
The queen mother looked at the grandson of the emperor in the queen's arms, "They look very similar, why did you give him such a vulgar name like Taotao?"
The queen smiled and explained: "Mother, the name is taken from Taosu, which is the nickname of the grandson of the emperor and the granddaughter of the emperor."
When the queen mother heard Taosu, it was clearly the name of a pastry. It was actually used to name the grandson of the emperor and the granddaughter of the emperor?
"Who gave the nickname?"
The queen paused after hearing this, turned her head and glanced at Shen Chuwei, and said in a gentle voice: "It was given by the crown princess, and everyone likes it."
The queen mother glanced at the crown princess, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. Taosu? How can it be a name given by a lady from a noble family?
She retracted her gaze and looked at the Crown Prince. The little guy was holding the Queen's hand, and his beautiful little phoenix eyes seemed to be able to speak.
"The Crown Prince is well-raised, with a rosy little face, and he is somewhat similar to the Crown Prince."
The Queen looked at Taotao, whose phoenix eyes resembled the Crown Prince's, and she echoed: "What the Queen Mother said is true. Taotao is very similar to the Crown Prince when he was a child."
It was not the first time that the Queen Mother held her great-grandson, so she was not as excited as the first time.
Later, the Queen Mother, who favored sons over daughters, never thought that she would like her great-granddaughter the most.
After everyone left, the Queen Mother left the Emperor alone.
The Queen Mother drank the tea in her hand, looked up at the Emperor sitting on the other side, and said earnestly: "Emperor, didn't you say that Lan'er girl would be the Crown Princess before? Even if it wasn't Lan'er girl, you should find a noble lady who matches the Crown Prince to be the Crown Princess. Just like when you married General Chang's legitimate daughter, whether you like it or not, it would be of great benefit."
The Emperor had guessed what the Queen Mother wanted to say, and was not surprised when he heard it.
"I understand what you said, mother. However, I named Shen Chuwei the Princess of Jiahe and then the Crown Princess. It is considered a good match."
The Queen Mother snorted: "What kind of good match is this? You see, a noble lady from a famous family named Taosu for the Crown Prince?"
"Mother, it's just a nickname. I think Susu sounds nice. Mother, you don't know how lovable Susu is." The emperor smiled when he thought of the scene of Susu lying on the dragon table and playing with the jade seal.
The Queen Mother saw the Emperor smile and was somewhat dissatisfied: "It's ok to call her a great-daughter, but how can a great-grandson use Taotao as his nickname? It sounds like a girl's name."
The Emperor saw that the Queen Mother was still unhappy, so he continued: "Mother, a nickname is only used when you are young. When you grow up, you will naturally be called by your full name."
After the Emperor said that, the Queen Mother could not bring it up again, "I think the Crown Princess is the mother of the country in the future and should be the mother of the country. Shen Chuwei is not suitable to be the Crown Princess and does not have the majesty of being the mother of the country."
The Queen Mother said this, Mentioning the queen again, "Back then, I said that Concubine Xu should be made the Crown Princess. Concubine Xu is a virtuous lady, gentle and generous. Otherwise..."
The emperor's eyes darkened when he heard this. He looked up at the Queen Mother and said casually, "Mother, the Queen has been in charge of the Phoenix Seal for many years. The management of the harem is in order and thoughtful, so I have no worries. The Queen has done a good job."
The Queen Mother disagreed, "When she first entered the palace, she caused a lot of trouble. She climbed the wall every other day. How can she be a Crown Princess?"
The emperor said: "Mother, the queen was born in a military family, it is normal for her to know some martial arts. There are many rules in the palace, and she must be a little uncomfortable to enter the palace suddenly. The queen has changed a lot and done very well. Besides, these are all old things, mother, please don't mention them again."
The queen mother was a little unhappy: "You only know how to protect her. If it weren't for her, would Concubine Xu die?"
When mentioning Concubine Xu, the emperor's face was a little ugly, "Concubine Xu's death has nothing to do with the queen. Although the queen has a little temper, she has never had the intention to harm others. I can guarantee this."
The queen mother saw her son defending the queen so much, and she was unwilling to think of Concubine Xu's death.
The emperor suddenly asked, "Mother, you think Ling'er is not suitable to be the queen, why do you think Chang Liangyuan is suitable?"
The queen mother's eyes flashed with doubt, "Isn't she Chang Liangdi? How did she become Liangyuan?"
The emperor snorted, "Of course she made a mistake and was punished."
"Chang Liangyuan is proficient in everything, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a virtuous woman. Why can't she be the crown princess? It will only make the Chang family more loyal to Daxia. As long as there is no child, the Chang family will not have any other intentions."
The emperor frowned when listening to the queen mother's words. When she married Ling'er, the queen mother also suggested that in order to prevent the Chang family from having other intentions, the queen was not allowed to get pregnant.
"General Chang has been loyal for three generations. He has not had any ulterior motives because the queen gave birth to two sons. Don't worry about this, mother. I know my limits."
The queen mother nodded and agreed: "It's too late to say more. The crown princess should think twice."
The emperor said: "Your Majesty, you are tired from the journey. You should take a rest. I will take my leave."
The queen mother nodded, and the emperor stood up and left the Cining Palace.
After leaving the Cining Palace, the emperor planned to go to the Fengyi Palace, but thinking of the queen's attitude towards him, he would be turned away if he went there, so he simply went to the Yangxin Palace.
Eunuch Li followed closely behind him with his body bent.
The emperor walked very slowly and glanced at the eunuch Li beside him. He hesitated for a while and asked: "Eunuch Li, do you think I should go to the Fengyi Palace to visit the queen?"
Eunuch Li was shocked when he heard this, but as a servant in front of the emperor, of course he had to make suggestions.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is not feeling well and her appetite must be poor. The Queen loves to eat hot and sour food. It would be better if Your Majesty brings these foods to visit her."
The Emperor thought it made sense. The Queen likes to eat, but she is a bit picky.
"You are right. Go prepare some delicious food and send it to Fengyi Palace."
Eunuch Li was in a dilemma, but he had to agree. "I obey your order."
The Emperor walked into the Yangxin Palace and sat down on the dragon chair. He was idle and couldn't help but recall that when he was young, the Queen would often come to the Imperial Study and the Yangxin Palace to see him.
It's not like now. The Queen doesn't come to the Imperial Study and the Yangxin Palace for several months.
Eunuch Li spent a lot of time preparing new fruits and sent them to Fengyi Palace without stopping.
"Queen, the Emperor knows that the Queen loves to eat sweet and sour fruits, so he specially ordered me to send them to the Queen to taste." Eunuch Li said with a flattering smile.
The queen scanned the fruit plate, grapes and other fruits, and said lightly: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li struck while the iron was hot: "Queen, the emperor has been busy these days and is a little unwell. Would you like to visit him?"
The queen said angrily: "The emperor is unwell, go and call the imperial physician."
Eunuch Li was startled by this angry shout, "Queen is right, I will call the imperial physician right away."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
The queen stared at the fruits on the table in a trance, still a little worried about the dog emperor.
Qingying has been with her master for so long, she still understands her master's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, you haven't seen the emperor for a long time. Why don't you go and see him?"
The queen snorted: "I can't cure the disease if I go. Doesn't the emperor have fun every night? Now that he has a problem, who can he blame?"
In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor saw Eunuch Li coming back, and couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong? Is the queen happy?"
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "The emperor gave fruits, so the queen is naturally happy."
The emperor asked: "Did the queen say anything?"
Eunuch Li shook his head. He didn't dare to tell too many lies
The emperor withdrew his gaze in disappointment and looked at the memorial in front of him.
Eastern Palace
After returning, the two little guys fell asleep on the small bed.
Xuetuan wandered around, probably waiting for the two little ancestors to come back and play together, but saw that the little ancestors fell asleep, and felt a little disappointed.
Shen Chuwei picked up the disappointed Xuetuan and sat on the couch. He was busy for most of the day and was tired and wanted to sleep.
Xiao Jinyan saw this and sat down on the couch. Seeing her holding Xuetuan, she looked unhappy. He comforted her, "Grandma is indeed a little harsh. You don't have to take it to heart. I will take care of everything."
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan. He was really good to her and loyal. In ancient times, he could be said to be a rare species.
Xiao Jinyan heard her inner thoughts. He agreed with the first half of the sentence, but what did the second half of the sentence mean?
Shen Chuwei held Xuetuan and stared at Xiao Jinyan curiously. He couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, do you have a childhood sweetheart who you play very well with?"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "No, what's wrong."
"No?" Shen Chuwei seemed to be stunned. Xiao Jinyan would actually lie to her?
Is he guilty?
Xiao Jinyan listened to her messy thoughts and frowned, "Did someone tell you something?"
