"Yes!" Xu Shu leaned down and responded.

Concubine Zhen thanked him again, "Thank you, Empress, then I'll have a lot of money!" The queen asked her beloved niece to send her back home, which was her value for herself. Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen felt happy and walked to Xu Shu intimately, and became familiar with Xu Shu without even recognizing her child.

Concubine Zhen and Xu Shu left. The queen looked at the concubines, all of whom looked at their eyes and noses. She looked like an old monk was in meditation, as if they were saying what they had just said before, and then said lightly, "It's all gone. It's been a bustling day for half a night, and everyone is tired. Don't have to come to greet you tomorrow, so take a good rest!"

When the queen was not favored, the concubines in the harem did not come to pay their respects often. They were favored by the emperor the night before and had to come back according to the rules!

However, as the queen gave birth to the princess, the position of the queen gradually increased. As soon as Prince Longan died, the emperor fell ill, and the queen's power was in full swing. Even the queen's empress dowager was afraid that the queen would hold a grudge and cure their disrespectful crimes, so they rushed to pay their respects. They came one by one every day earlier than the other. They either rushed to serve tea or cook food for the queen, for fear that the queen would not see their intentions. However, the queen no longer took these concubines in their eyes. They were willing to please her and she would not pursue those who were unwilling to come.

"The Empress is sympathetic, I am grateful, I will take my leave!"

The concubines retreated. Concubine Wen hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the empress dowager waved her hand gently, she also retreated! At this time, she was left as cannon fodder!

For a moment, the Queen and Queen Mother Fu were left in the huge Dingtai Hall. The air was quiet and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard. Queen Mother Fu turned the bracelet on her wrist and said coldly, "The Queen is really majestic today! People who don't know thought that the Queen was the one who took charge of the palace!"

The queen smiled slightly, "This palace is the emperor's home. As the emperor's wife, it is legitimate to manage the harem for the emperor. In other words, this palace is the mother of a country, and of course this harem is the governor! Even if the Empress Dowager is here today, she will still be on my way!"

Although the Empress Dowager could not say much about the Queen, the Empress finally gave birth to a daughter for the Emperor, which made the Emperor not completely eliminate the Queen. Therefore, the Empress Dowager also slightly changed his view of the Queen. Compared with the Empress Dowager Fu, the Empress Dowager obviously liked the Queen more. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager and the Deng family would not have tried their best to support the current emperor ascend the throne!

Queen Mother Fu had nothing to say, but she was unwilling to accept it, so she said harshly, "I hope the queen can always be proud!"

"Borrow the auspicious words of the Queen Mother! I also hope this!" The emperor obeyed her words now, and the Queen didn't believe that she couldn't get what she wanted!

Queen Mother Fu smiled coldly. The queen relied on the emperor to act as a blessing. Without the emperor, she would be nothing! How long can the emperor's body be? Even without the blow of Prince Long'an's death, the emperor would not have lived for three or five years. Now it is even more counting. She wants to see when the queen can be proud of it!

"Go back to Taichang Palace!" Empress Dowager Fu left with her sleeves.

The queen happily summoned Madam Yuan, "Tomorrow, let Eunuch Xing'an go to the Pingning Palace and give Concubine Zhen a plate of jade meatballs, which is said to be rewarded by the emperor! Concubine Zhen has eaten half a plate today, and I think she loves this dish!"

"Yes, I'll do it now!"

Although the queen was falsely passing the imperial edict, even if it was a matter of the emperor, just like the queen said, just as the Queen Mother Fu was afraid, the emperor was now eager to make a mess around Zhou Jin. The queen was so blatant that she had just grasped the emperor's intentions and was just right!

Xu Shu sent Concubine Zhen back to the Pingning Prince's Mansion according to the Queen's order. Concubine Zhen kept nagging along the way, like a teenager. As expected, as Queen Mother Fu said, such a big man was not solemn at all!

"How old is Miss Zheng Jiu this year?"

Xu Shu looked delicate and petite, and she didn't look like a seventeen-year-old, at most she was only fourteen-five years old, so Concubine Zhen asked.

"If you go back to the concubine, I am seventeen years old!"

"It's so old!" Concubine Zhen blurted out. At such an old age, she must have been engaged. It seems that she has no hope.

Realizing his rudeness, Concubine Zhen quickly changed her words, "I'm so old and I'm sensible!"

"The Concubine is wrong!" Thinking of Concubine Zhen's unconventional personality, it was really different from Zhou Jin. No wonder Zhou Jin was not close to Concubine Zhen. Such a temperament could not hide his thoughts, and one day he might betray Zhou Jin unintentionally.

"I feel like you when I look at you. If you have time in the future, you will come to the palace to see me often!" Concubine Zhen held Xu Shu's hand and showed joy.

Concubine Zhen was so close to Xu Shu, mostly for the sake of the queen. Today, when the queen stood in front of Queen Mother Fu, Concubine Zhen thought she had a backing, so she took the opportunity to win over the people around the queen so that she could have a good relationship with the queen.

Thinking of seeing Gao Zhinan when he went to the Pingning Prince's Mansion, Xu Shu readily agreed, "The concubine is so fond of her, but if the concubine comes frequently, don't dislike her!"

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! I'm too happy! You are so generous, decent and sensible, and I feel relieved when I look at you! Those prince's concubines, if you are at all sensible, I will be worry-free!"

Concubine Zhen frowned and shook her head. Concubine Zhen could even feel this emotion. It seemed that she was really worried.

Xu Shu couldn't help but ask, "The prince's concubines are all from famous families and have listened to teachings since childhood. How could they be ignorant?"

Concubine Zhen shook her head repeatedly, "It's all my origins, but when it comes to favor, it's really worse than shrews in the market. She can use so many despicable means. So, the prince doesn't like any of them, so they all come to me to find a way!"

Although the noble ladies were competing for favor, they really flattered Concubine Zhen, which made Concubine Zhen quite useful. "But they were useless to please me. How could they do the prince's concubine with such character? When the prince settles down, they must choose a prince's concubine with a good character. It would be great if Miss Zheng Jiu is like this!"

Suddenly being named, Xu Shu's mind was blank before she said quietly, "The concubine is in love, I believe the emperor and the queen will definitely choose a good match for the prince!"
