Remarry 9,000 Years Old

This was not Shen Nanqiao’s first time entering the palace.

In her previous life, as the wife of the prince of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, she had to enter the palace to pay respects as a lady of honor every New Year.

It's just that for a woman like her whose husband has made no achievements and who herself is not favored, there is not much chance for her to meet the empress dowager.

The few times they met face to face were because my father-in-law, Marquis Pingyuan, had been promoted repeatedly for his meritorious service, and out of sympathy for his meritorious service, I summoned the women of the marquis's mansion to meet them a few times.

Shen Nanqiao was not a likable person in his previous life, and he was also suppressed by Shen Jingyi, so he always showed up in a perfunctory manner.

This is the first time in two lifetimes that I have been summoned alone.

The eunuch was very polite. He led her to the gate of the Cining Palace and went in to report.

Shen Nanqiao looked at the rolling harem courtyards and realized that this was also one of Ning Su’s battlefields.

As the new wife of this favorite emperor, she represents his reputation in public.

There can't be any mistakes, after all, we all prosper together and suffer together.

Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and spoke to Madam Liu.

"Since the Queen Mother has summoned you alone, I'm afraid she won't allow you to go in later. You might as well go back to the Shangyi Bureau and catch up with your former sisters."

Nanny Liu looked worried.

The eunuch who had just entered came out soon.

"Madam, please follow me in." As expected, there was no mention of letting Madam Liu follow.

Shen Nanqiao calmed himself down, nodded to Nanny Liu, and then followed her into the inner hall.

The floor heating in the warm room was burning very strongly. The queen mother was sitting on the Luohan bed, playing with her cat, Wuyun Treading Snow.

The Queen is sitting below.

Shen Nanqiao knelt down respectfully and bowed. She was born into a noble family in her previous life and her etiquette was impeccable.

Sure enough, the well-maintained hand paused on the cat's back.

"Is this the young lady that the factory official just married? She is very polite. Look up and let me have a look."

Shen Nanqiao raised his head neither humbly nor arrogantly, and easily read surprise and... disgust in the empress dowager's eyes.

Speaking of which, this queen mother is also a legend.

Her maiden name was Sun. Three generations of her family were generals assisting the country and were highly respected. She was chosen by Emperor Gaozu to be the empress. Although she was not favored by the emperor, she was very lucky and gave birth to a legitimate son.

Unfortunately, the eldest prince died later, and Empress Sun collapsed for a while.

Coincidentally, from then on, the princes in the harem either had accidental miscarriages or died in infancy, and no one lived past the age of five.

Empress Dowager Sun thought she could rest easy as she was still young and would have the chance to give birth again in the future.

However, he accidentally learned that the late emperor actually had a child outside.

She was furious and made a thorough investigation, and finally found the child's biological mother.

That girl was the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and she was a childhood sweetheart of the late emperor.

Due to the Empress Dowager Sun's power, the late emperor initially intended to wait until she gave birth to the child before entering the palace.

However, what he never expected was that he suddenly fell ill.

Empress Dowager Sun dealt with the girl with lightning speed, but the baby disappeared without a trace and could not be found no matter how hard they searched.

Empress Dowager Sun knew that this was the arrangement of the late emperor, so she took advantage of her natal family's influence and selected Prince Cheng from among her relatives to ascend the throne, who is now Emperor Ming, and has dominated the harem ever since.

Shen Nanqiao had heard about this story in her previous life when she was rescued from prison by Ning Su, so when she looked at the empress dowager now, she had a sense of superiority as if she had seen through everything.

The Queen Mother was completely unaware of this.

She looked at Shen Nanqiao calmly and changed the subject.

"I heard that you were originally promised to the son of Pingyuan Marquis?"

Shen Nanqiao had already thought about it on the way here, and there was a high probability that he could not get away from this matter.

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, he became more focused.

Since the Queen Mother was willing to ask, she must have known the whole story clearly. If I want to deny it, I would undoubtedly be deceiving the Queen Mother like a fool.

But if she just kept crying and complaining, she would easily become a laughing stock.

Ning Su has never been someone who would bow down easily in the court, and she couldn't hold him back.

Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip and spoke.

"Originally, this marriage was arranged by our parents, but the prince and my concubine were in love but failed to follow etiquette, which led to this incident. Fortunately, my husband is a magnanimous person and is willing to put his arm in his sleeves, which saves the face of both families."

In just a few words, he not only quietly put the blame on Ning Ziyu and Shen Jingyi, but also implicitly praised Ning Su, and finally secretly pointed out that this was a family matter and there was no need to alarm the palace.

So as soon as she finished speaking, not only did the Queen Mother stop stroking the cat, but even the Queen who was watching from the sidelines couldn't help but cast a concerned look.

Ning Su was the emperor's confidant, and the queen naturally regarded Shen Nanqiao as her own, so she smiled with her hands covering her lips.

"Otomo's new wife is quite interesting."

The Empress Dowager's narrow, almond-shaped eyes swept across her and she chuckled with an ambiguous tone.

"It's interesting. This watertight personality is exactly like him."

It's hard to tell whether this is good or bad.

But Shen Nanqiao knew that in front of the Queen Mother, he could neither be too smart nor too stupid, and this balance was really difficult to strike.

Until she figured out why the Queen Mother summoned her alone, she had to proceed cautiously.

The Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject and became sharp.

"You were once the Crown Prince's wife, and now you have become the wife of a factory official with no real status. Don't you feel unfair?"

Shen Nanqiao frowned slightly, then pretended to be confused.

"It is obvious that I am the one who got the advantage, why are you being unfair?"

The Queen Mother half-squinted her eyes and looked over, as if she was wondering whether what he said was true or not.

"Although Ning Su has a good appearance, she is from the Imperial Household Department after all. You are a young girl and don't know much, I don't blame you." She smiled faintly, with hidden meaning in her words, "I called you here today to do justice. If you don't want this marriage, I can return it for you today. The position of the Crown Prince's wife is still yours."

Shen Nanqiao's heart tightened and a thought flashed through his mind.

The Queen Mother hates favoring concubines and killing wives the most. Is she really going to seek justice for her?

Because he was concerned about Ning Su's identity, he called her over first to test the waters.

If that works, if Ning Su gets into trouble later, he can naturally blame it on her.

If it doesn't work, then I don't know how to appreciate it...

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness." She put on a gentle smile, "But I have just entered a blessed nest and have not had time to dream. How can I bear to leave now?"

This was said wittily, but it also implied a polite refusal.

The queen at the side spoke with a smile.

"Look, I said the child would definitely not agree, but the Queen Mother insisted on making a bet with me."

The Queen Mother lazily stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"He is quite a man of character. The Prince of Pingyuan made such a scene in public. Any girl with a bit of shame would not go after him."

The queen nodded.

"I think this girl from the Shen family is really good, neither humble nor overbearing. It makes me feel relieved to have her with me."

The Queen Mother glanced at her indifferently.

"That's because she doesn't know yet that Ning Su already has someone in his heart."

Shen Nanqiao's head buzzed. He had been handling the situation well just now, but after hearing these words, he suddenly felt confused and at a loss for some reason.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch was heard from outside.

"The Holy One has arrived."

The Queen Mother sneered.

"He is worried about you, so he has called for help."
