Fortunately, Zhang Ying spoke up at this time and saved Wu Qingying from her embarrassment.

Wu Qingying cast a grateful look towards Zhang Ying.

Ye Ling seemed to have just realized that there was someone standing in this huge Ruyi Palace.

His eyes fell on Zhang Ying with scrutiny, and he felt that the woman in front of him was strange yet also familiar.

But he thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out who the woman in front of him was.

Finally, Wu Qingying saw his eyes fall on Zhang Ying and introduced her, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Concubine Zhang? You praised Concubine Zhang for her sharp tongue in front of me before."

After hearing what Wu Qingying said, Ye Ling finally had some impression.

As far as I can remember, he did seem to have praised Zhang Ying in this way, but it had been a long time since then, and many years had passed. He was busy with his daily affairs, so how could he have the time to remember so many irrelevant people and irrelevant things?

He could only say a few perfunctorily: "Oh, I seem to remember that there was such a thing, but I have almost forgotten it. After all..."

As he spoke, Ye Ling's affectionate eyes fell on Wu Qingying again. He smiled and held the woman's soft and smooth hand: "In my eyes, there is only you, my beloved concubine."

Listening to the man's rude words, Wu Qingying's pretty face turned red, and she leaned shyly into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty, look at you, here you go again!"

While she was snuggling into the man's arms, she winked at Yue'er beside her.

Yue'er understood what he meant and quickly went back to serve the meal.

Before leaving, she glanced away and still stood there. She seemed to be very tactful and considerate on weekdays.

I don't know what happened today. At this critical moment, the Emperor and his empress were behaving so intimately. Even a fool could tell what they were going to do. But she was still standing there like an idiot and didn't even say to leave.

Yue'er's eyes flashed with suspicion, and she walked up to Zhang Ying and reminded her, "Lady Zhang, you and this servant should go to the imperial kitchen to serve the meal."

Feeling Yue'er's scrutinizing gaze on her, Zhang Ying smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."

……

The news that the emperor stayed in Ruyi Palace at night soon spread throughout the harem. Naturally, some people gloated over his misfortune, while others were envious and jealous.

Of course, the happiest people are the people in the Cining Palace at this time.

After returning from Weiyang Palace, Jiang Rong was very proud.

Originally, she was going to give Xia Wanning a good beating in Weiyang Palace. Seeing her ferocious look as if she wanted to pounce on her and tear her to pieces, Jiang Rong felt so happy that she almost died of happiness.

However, what made her happiest was that the emperor, who had not set foot in the Cining Palace for such a long time, actually took the initiative to bow his head and apologize to her.

Originally, she thought that even though she hit Xia Wanning, she felt relieved at that moment and felt very comfortable.

But after she felt relieved, Jiang Rong was actually worried as well. She was really worried and scared.

Not to mention how high Xia Wanning's status and power are in the entire Damu, the emperor dotes on this woman to the point of not being able to distinguish right from wrong.

Originally, her relationship with the emperor had become very bad because of Xia Wanning, and there were conflicts between her and the emperor.

Now that she has dealt such a harsh hand to Xia Wanning, the emperor will definitely come to the Cining Palace to cause trouble for her.

She was not afraid of offending Xia Wanning, mainly because he was the emperor and she only had this one son in her life.

Her relationship with her son had already become very distant because of this little bitch. If this incident happened again, I'm afraid the emperor would dislike her even more.

By that time, the relationship with her, her biological mother, to put it bluntly, will become irreconcilable.

Originally, after hearing Yu Huan's words, Jiang Rong was unwilling to go to Weiyang Palace.

The first thought that came to my mind was to refuse. I didn't even have the energy to think about it. Until...

Jiang Rong was really in a good mood this time. After returning from Weiyang Palace, she ordered Nanny Liu to serve the meal.

The Cining Palace had been eating light meals for several years, but tonight was suddenly different from usual, with a total of 108 dishes. The imperial kitchen was shocked but dared not neglect it, and hurriedly prepared fresh ingredients for the Cining Palace.

For the first time ever, when Jiang Rong saw Nanny Liu standing respectfully by her side serving her meal, she smiled slightly and asked Nanny Liu to sit down and eat together.

Even though she had been with the Queen Mother for so many years, she was still flattered by her sudden move and quickly waved her hand to refuse: "Queen Mother, I can't... I can't, your servant..."

"What can't be done?"

Jiang Rong looked at her and put on a serious face: "What? Are you going to disobey my order?"

Hearing this, Nanny Liu didn't know what to say and could only sit down stiffly.

Almost as soon as she sat down, she saw Jiang Rong personally pouring her a glass of wine.

Aunt Liu was terrified by the Queen Mother's behavior. She was so flattered that her hands were shaking: "Queen... Queen Mother..."

"Madame Liu, you have been by my side for decades. You have watched me grow up. From childhood, to my coming of age, and then to entering the palace..."

At this point, Jiang Rong's tone was filled with emotion: "Over the years, you seem to be my personal nanny, but in fact, in my heart, you and I have long been like sisters." Hearing this, Nanny Liu stopped talking and lowered her head silently.

"Since I became the Queen Mother of Damu, everyone who sees me must be respectful and cautious to address me as Queen Mother."

Ma Liu nodded: "Yes, after Imperial Concubine Liu entered the palace, you, the Empress Dowager, suffered a lot of grievances." Not only was she wronged, but she also made the Empress Dowager lose face in this harem.

Jiang Rong's eyes were red, and she didn't know whether she was happy or angry: "Madam Liu, I'm happy."

"I have never been so happy in my life as I am today!"

Seeing the Queen Mother's excited expression, Aunt Liu was no longer reserved, but raised the wine glass in her hand: "Queen Mother, I offer you a toast."

"I didn't expect that Yu Huan is really capable. In fact, I was a little worried that I would suffer another setback in Weiyang Palace, but in the end, not only did I not suffer any loss at the hands of that little bitch Xia Wanning, but she also had no place to vent her anger."

The most crucial point is that the emperor came to her Cining Palace today, talked to her for a long time, and admitted to her that he was wrong for distancing himself from her over the years.

This is what Jiang Rong cares about the most. As she spoke, Jiang Rong's eyes turned red and she drank the wine in her hand.

Night Ling.

This is the only son she has in her life.
