Hearing Luo Xueqing's thoughts, Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked curiously, "Why doesn't Sister Jieyu want to go to the Duke's Mansion?"

Luo Xueqing murmured softly with her head drooped, "I don't want to see the old witch."

[I don’t want to see those hypocritical people who flatter others, and I don’t want to be hypocritical with them. ]

[If I had this time, wouldn't it be more pleasant to eat melon seeds and read storybooks in the palace? ]

Queen Mother Su took off the red gold and cinnabar bracelet on her wrist and looked at Luo Xueqing with a smile in her eyes, "Old Madam Yan is a kind and generous person. Concubine Luo may as well go!"

[Charitable and charitable? It's just a deliberate reputation! ]

【kindly?】

[If that old witch was really kind, the women in the Duke's Mansion wouldn't have died one after another earlier! ]

[The old witch, who is sweet-mouthed but treacherous, has created a good reputation for herself! The other women in the Duke's Mansion are all living in dire straits, a life worse than death! ]

Luo Xueqing lowered her head and kept complaining in her heart.

[It really is true that good people don’t live long, but evil people live for thousands of years! ]

For a moment, the expressions of Emperor Jingyan, Empress Dowager Su, and Concubine Xi all became a little strange.

Concubine Xian, who carefully looked at everyone's faces, couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, since Concubine Luo really doesn't want to go, there's no need to force her, right?"

Luo Xueqing's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this, and she said excitedly, "Your Majesty, doesn't Concubine Xian have a close relationship with Old Madam Yan?"

"How about you take Concubine Xian to the Duke's Mansion to celebrate her birthday?"

[Dog Emperor! Be a human being! ]

[It's not easy for the mother and daughter to have the chance to be reunited, please don't make trouble again! ]

Luo Xueqing's careless words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

Empress Dowager Su glanced at Concubine Xian calmly, and seeing that there was no surprise on her face, she became even more confused.

It seems that not everyone can hear Concubine Luo's thoughts.

But how could Concubine Xian be the daughter of the old lady of the Duke’s Mansion?

Isn’t Empress Xian only nineteen this year?

But Madam Yan from the Duke’s Mansion is already sixty years old this year!

Empress Dowager Su just felt that this matter was somewhat unbelievable.

"Empress Xian, do you want to go?" Di Jingyan did not directly answer Luo Xueqing's proposal, but shifted his gaze to Empress Xian's face and asked softly.

Concubine Xian quickly stood up, smiled and nodded, "I do want to go and congratulate Old Madam Yan on her birthday."

"In that case, let's go together."

Di Jingyan lowered his eyebrows and said in a calm tone, "Three days later, Concubine Xian and Concubine Luo will accompany me to the Duke's Mansion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Luo Xueqing was confused.

【I don’t want to go! 】

[Dog Emperor, don't you understand what I'm saying? ]

Just when she was about to refuse again, Concubine Xi grabbed her wrist.

"Sister Xi Fei, I..."

"Mother, I still have government affairs to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Di Jingyan casually bowed to the empress dowager and left.

Having achieved her goal, Empress Xian also stood up and took her leave.

Luo Xueqing hung her head and looked at Concubine Xi aggrievedly, "Sister Concubine Xi, I really don't want to go."

"Your Majesty's words are golden, how can you refuse them repeatedly?" Concubine Xi looked at her helplessly and pinched her cheek. "If the emperor is furious, I'm afraid you will lose your life!"

Your Majesty's expression just now was really not good-looking!

Luo Xueqing has a perky personality and often insults His Majesty in her heart.

If His Majesty was furious, her head would have been snapped off long ago.

But she didn't know that her thoughts would be heard by others.

It's really embarrassing.

[Sister Xifei is also thinking about me. 】

[Forget it, just go. ]

[If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone; if someone offends me, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless~]

Queen Mother Su raised her hand and rubbed her swollen brows, then looked at Concubine Xi and said, "Concubine Xi, I want to talk to Concubine Luo alone, you go back first."

"Yes!"

After sending everyone away, Empress Dowager Su looked at Luo Xueqing, who had a confused look on her face, and then sighed deeply.

Luo Xueqing hurried forward and asked with concern, "Why is the Queen Mother sighing?"

"The emperor is not my biological son."

[Isn't this a secret known to everyone? Emperor Jingyan is the eldest son of the late emperor, and by chance he was raised by Empress Dowager Su! ]

[Why did the Queen Mother bring up this matter for no reason? 】

"The emperor's biological mother was a maidservant who served me." Empress Dowager Su sighed, "The late emperor took her by force after he got drunk."

"She has been engaged to her cousin since she was young, so she can only marry him after leaving the palace."

"Originally, there was only half a year left before she was released from the palace. Who would have thought that the late emperor would..."

"She didn't want the baby in her belly, and even came to beg me for medicine. I couldn't bear it, so I coaxed her to give birth to the baby."

At this point, Empress Dowager Su didn't know whether her original decision was right or wrong.

"Not long after the child was born, she committed suicide after hearing that her cousin had married someone else."

"Because of this, the emperor was not loved by the late emperor since he was young."

"Someone with ulterior motives deliberately stirred up trouble and said some specious words in front of the emperor, causing the emperor to misunderstand me. I'm afraid that in the emperor's heart, I am just an evil old woman with a kind face but a wicked heart."

"Queen Mother, you are too kind!" Luo Xueqing said quickly, "Your Majesty is a smart person and will never be deceived by others."

[Although the dog emperor has a cold personality, he still treats the queen mother with some sincerity! ]

[It was just that when he was eight years old, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Nanny Qin, which led to his misunderstanding of the Queen Mother. That’s why he distanced himself from her later on! ]

Empress Dowager Su nervously held the Buddhist beads and listened carefully to her thoughts.

Sure enough, the emperor had a misunderstanding about her!

[We have to find a way to clear up the dog emperor's misunderstanding of the queen mother! ]

"When the emperor was young, he loved to drink the red bean wine that I cooked. I wonder if Concubine Luo can do me a favor?"

Empress Dowager Su looked at her with eyes full of anticipation.

……

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Jingyan, with a frown on his face, was dealing with memorials to the emperor.

A once-in-a-century flood struck southern Anhui, destroying tens of thousands of houses.

The disaster was severe and people were displaced.

Di Jingyan, who was thinking about disaster relief, was a little surprised to hear that Luo Xueqing wanted to see him.

"Let her in."

At this moment, Luo Xueqing, who was standing outside the palace gate with a food box in hand, felt extremely regretful.

[Hey, why should I agree to the Queen Mother? ]

[It’s not my turn to protect the fake mother-son relationship between the dog emperor and her! 】

[I am really out of my mind, running here to please the dog emperor for no reason! ]

"Why don't you come in? What are you standing there for?"

Di Jingyan, who heard her thoughts from afar, raised his chin with interest and questioned in a cold tone.

Luo Xueqing, who had calmed down, immediately smiled and walked in happily, "Your Majesty! I'm here to bring you some delicious food!"

"This is the red bean wine made by the Queen Mother herself. Don't forget to try it!"

[Hehe, I'll leave the things behind and go~ Who isn't a smart little cutie~]

"I won't bother you any more. I'm leaving now!"

"and many more!"
