Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

"Mother, if I said something wrong, please don't be angry, and don't blame the emperor..."

The queen was very smart. She immediately stood up with Shen Zhiyao and bowed to apologize. She was planning to lead the incident to the emperor.

……

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment before she said, "That's not necessary. I think you are right." Queen Mother Zhao sighed, "Recently, I have been able to feel my aging more and more. I look at the three princes now and love them very much. They are all my grandsons, and there is no difference in essence."

"And the two of you are pregnant now, and I am in so much pain..." Queen Mother Zhao smiled as she said this.

The Queen and Shen Zhiyao were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other. The meaning of these words surprised them deeply. The Queen Mother is really old. She knows how to cherish her children and has let it go?

"I know in my heart that the Zhao family was ruined because it was too big. If they really over-supported it, with too many people in important positions, it would sooner or later threaten the royal family. In fact, I haven't been paying much attention to the Zhao family's affairs recently."

"It's just that I see Yu Han is so unpromising. Not only is she not favored, but she was also beaten... What should the eldest prince do? After a hundred years, I'm afraid there won't be even a trace of her left..."

"People are afraid of obsession. But so what? I'm old, and my energy is getting less and less. I can't even take care of myself..."

Queen Dowager Zhao, such a powerful woman, could actually utter such pessimistic and resigned words when she entered her twilight years, which made the empress, who knew her well, sigh with emotion.

This is what they call a hero in his twilight years.

"Mother..." The Queen looked at Queen Mother Zhao, her eyes full of tears: "You should be more open-minded. The Emperor and I are all sincerely filial to you. It is said that good fortune in old age is priceless. You are very lucky, so just enjoy it. Leave the rest of the worries to the Emperor and I. We will certainly satisfy your mother." The Queen choked.

Queen Mother Zhao reached out to take the handkerchief to wipe away the Queen's tears, but still said nothing.

"Mother, the Emperor does not just want to be a contented emperor. I believe you know his ambitions better than I do. What the Emperor wants most is your understanding and support. Even if you can only give him a little support, mother... the Emperor is absolutely worthy of it." said the Queen.

Queen Mother Zhao finally stopped being silent and sighed, "Good, good... I am really old... In the past, when I was fighting in the harem, when I was persecuted by the Sun family, when I was ignored by the previous emperor, I never lost my temper. Now that my son's throne is gradually becoming stable and his great cause is gradually being accomplished, I often feel that I am unable to do anything."

"Yuhan, like you, was persuaded by me to come here... I often wonder recently, have I done all these things wrong?"

"Forget it... Jin Shuyi is wrong about this matter, and Yu Han is also wrong. I can't just feel sorry for my niece's suffering... Think about the suffering that the queen has to endure while pregnant. Yu Han deserves to suffer this time..."

Seeing that the usually reserved queen could actually choke up and cry for her, Queen Mother Zhao could no longer say anything to favor Concubine Zhao.

Moreover, Concubine Zhao now represents the Zhao family. If she continues to protect him without any bottom line, the emotional rift between herself and the emperor will only grow wider and the relationship between mother and son will become increasingly difficult to repair. This is what Queen Mother Zhao cares about most.

"Alas, I actually don't approve of Yu Han and Jin Shuyi making trouble. She doesn't have the ability to make trouble. I don't know what she will do when I let go in the future..." Queen Mother Zhao shook her head.

"Mother, why do you worry about all that? If you want to stay in the harem for a long time, you have to act cautiously. As the queen, I always feel like I'm walking on thin ice and never dare to act recklessly. It would be a good thing if you could let Concubine Zhao suffer some losses while you were still able to watch." The queen held Queen Mother Zhao's hand.

"It's not that I can't let her go, I'm just worried about the eldest prince..." Queen Dowager Zhao sighed.

In the harem, mother and son complement each other but also hinder each other.

A mother is honored by her son, and a son is honored by his mother. Queen Mother Zhao was afraid that after Concubine Zhao committed suicide, the eldest prince would be persecuted and his life would be in danger.

"Don't worry, mother. The eldest prince is also my child. I think it's time to send him to the Yangqin Palace as soon as possible. Boys always follow their mothers and are inevitably contaminated by the smell of women, which is not conducive to the growth of the ninth prince."

"In my heart, I still like the eldest prince. He is a child who has not grown up yet and needs training. When I give birth, I will often go to the Yangqin Palace to teach him a little. I have confidence in that child." said the queen.

Although the queen was unhappy in her heart, she said this to the point that she seemed to be taking Queen Mother Zhao's feelings into consideration.

Queen Mother Zhao knew it clearly, but the Queen's words also reminded her, so she nodded and said, "Well, I agree... I have made the decision on this matter. Whether Yu Han is willing or not, I will personally send the eldest prince to the Yangqin Palace tomorrow and officially sever ties with Yuquan Palace."

Queen Mother Zhao really didn't want the eldest prince to be influenced by Concubine Zhao anymore, lest he bring disaster upon himself in the future.

"Now that things have come to this, I have one last question for you. Have you and the Emperor already thought about this matter?" Queen Mother Zhao's eagle-like eyes were fixed on the Queen's phoenix eyes.

Queen Mother Zhao knew that the Queen had brought Shen Zhiyao here not just to apologize, but probably to promote her. Otherwise, why would she do this?

"Yes, I've thought about it all." The queen nodded in acknowledgement, without hiding anything from him.

“Hmm…” Queen Mother Zhao waved her hand and said, “Never mind. I’m tired and need to rest for a while. Queen, tell the Emperor that I’m tired and exhausted. From now on, I will… no longer be involved in your affairs.”

"I will definitely convey this message to the Emperor." The Queen bowed.

Shen Zhiyao was very considerate. She stepped forward at the right time, helped Queen Mother Zhao lie down, and even considerately straightened the corners of the quilt for her.

Queen Mother Zhao could only sigh in her heart. Looking at the Queen's pattern and Shen Zhiyao's scheming, ten Imperial Concubines Zhao could not compare to her. All she could say was that the Zhao family was unlucky...

After the Queen and Shen Zhiyao left, Concubine Zhao actually followed them to Renshou Palace.

Before Queen Mother Zhao could say anything, Concubine Zhao started to attack her, "Aunt, how dare the Queen and Shen Zhiyao do this? They are crazy! They actually came to you to plead for mercy! Can you side with them?"

Concubine Zhao's eyes opened wide, as if she was genuinely surprised.

"I see, they are not crazy, but you, who seem to be insane." Queen Mother Zhao closed her eyes and sighed.

"Aunt...what are you saying?" Concubine Zhao couldn't believe her ears. What was her aunt saying?

"Forget it... I just told the Queen that I am really old and can no longer manage your affairs."

"I advise you to put aside your thoughts for the sake of the eldest prince, so as not to harm him. The position of empress... will not be yours..."

Queen Mother Zhao felt that, let alone the throne, even the position of a first-rank concubine was too difficult.

With my niece's condition, it is not easy for her to keep the position of imperial concubine.

"Aunt...how could you..." Concubine Zhao looked at the Queen Mother with horror. Hearing such words, she felt as if the sky was falling...
