No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Defei originally had a smile on her face, after all, she and Lin Mingyan had a good relationship.

Moreover, this daughter-in-law treated her well and made her a royal concubine for her meritorious service.

She is also willing to have a good relationship with her.

But when Lin Mingyan mentioned Wen Xian, she couldn't even control her expression.

Tong Jia was a hurdle that she would never be able to overcome in her life, as the life of her most beloved child lay at stake.

It was not her fault that Wen Xian married Shun Anyan. After all, it was an order from Emperor Kangxi and no one could resist.

But she shouldn't have been so harmonious with Shun Anyan and stabbed her eyes.

If things don't go well for her, she will feel sorry for Wen Xian and look for opportunities to attack the Tong family.

But she happens to live a good life. How can she live well with the Tong family?!

Did she forget that Zuo'er's life was at stake?

Concubine De couldn't understand. She hated the Tong family and also hated her daughter who married into the Tong family.

Even she hated everyone who tried to persuade her to forgive.

No one knew how she spent that time then, and no one can tell her what to do now.

She said coldly, "I have a grandson. Why should I be happy?"

She wished that the Tong family would be extinct!

Lin Mingyan didn't come to persuade her to let go, but because she felt sorry for Wen Xian.

Then he said: "In fact, it is said that Wen Xian married into the Tong family, but in fact, Shun Anyan was lucky enough to become the prince consort."

"They all live in the Princess's Mansion and don't usually have much contact with the Tong Mansion."

"Not to mention Shun Anyan is also a pitiful person. His mother died early, and he has no feelings for other people."

"I never thought that our Fourth Master would have such a day. Now the Tong family has to live by the wishes of Wen Xian and his wife."

What Lin Mingyan meant by this was that the Tong family is no longer the same Tong family as before.

The Tong family now says that Shun Anyan is in charge, but Shun Anyan listens to Wen Xian, so it is Wen Xian who makes the decision.

The mountain that was once thought to be insurmountable is now in the hands of one's own daughter. Isn't this another form of revenge?

Defei's complexion improved a little. She didn't know what Lin Mingyan was up to.

But when he heard that she was on his side, he did not stop her from talking, but listened patiently.

Seeing that she still had feelings for Wen Xian, Lin Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief and specifically talked about Wen Xian.

"...Your Majesty is now the Imperial Concubine Dowager. If you are willing to attend your grandson's one-year-old celebration, the entire Tong family will kneel to welcome you." Lin Mingyan said, "The current head of the Tong family is your son-in-law, and the future head will only be your grandson."

"The Tong family will never tremble in front of you again."

These words touched Defei's heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

By this time she had turned the corner.

Indeed, no matter how much she disliked the Tong family, she did not have the ability to destroy the entire Tong family and bury Zuo'er with them.

After all, they are the late emperor's in-laws, so it is impossible for them to look too bad in this dynasty.

But she could appear in front of them in a superior manner and admire their fearful faces.

Shun Anyan had no grudge against her. If she had stood on her side like Wen Xian, she would not have insisted on making her daughter's life unhappy.

So what if there are two generations of queens?

Hasn't the Queen already turned into dry bones? Why are the Tong family still kneeling to welcome her?

She had really been wrong before. Why shouldn't she go to the twins' first birthday party?

She wants to go there in a grand manner to let the Tong family see it!

Concubine De smiled and took Lin Mingyan's hand and patted it: "Good child, mother knows your heart."

"Qiqige... Mother does blame her a little, but she also feels bad..."

"I'll go and see the first anniversary party of Altai and Arshan this time."

Lin Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt happy for Wen Xian.

In fact, in this era, the relationship between mother and daughter or mother and son is not that close.

As long as the mother is loving and the son is filial, that's all that matters.

What Wen Xian wanted was exactly such a casual relationship.

As long as Concubine De went to see the child with gifts, Wen Xian would feel relieved.

After Lin Mingyan left, Concubine De sat alone in silence for a long time.

Grandma Gao went back and forth several times, but she didn't respond, and Grandma didn't dare to disturb her.

When the sun set, Concubine De came to her senses and was surprised to find that the sky was getting dark.

Grandma Gao came in with tea and asked with concern, "Madam, is it time for dinner?"

Generally speaking, when Concubine De was in a bad mood, she couldn't eat dinner at all.

Otherwise, by the time the time came, Grandma Gao would have already arranged dinner and wouldn't have asked this question.

But unexpectedly, Concubine De nodded and said, "Serve the meal."

Grandma Gao was cautious for a long time, and then secretly looked at her expression. Seeing that she actually had a smile on her face, she was shocked.

I thought that the Queen was indeed capable. Normally, the Queen of the Tong family would have been furious if she had just mentioned her.

Now she is in such a good mood, I have never seen that before!

When dinner came, Concubine De ate more than usual, which made Grandma Gao even more shocked.

Who knew that the shocking thing was yet to come. After the meal, Concubine De actually discussed with her the one-year-old gifts for Princess Wenxian’s two children!

You know, she mentioned it vaguely a few days ago, and Concubine De's eyes flew at her like a knife.

Afterwards, no one dared to remind her of this.

Concubine De said, "Go and fetch the books of the several treasures given as rewards to the children, and I will take a look at them."

Grandma Gao responded almost bewilderedly, and fumbled to get the booklet.

Concubine De looked at the booklet carefully, and the records on it were very comprehensive.

There are dragon-patterned old pit glass jade pendants, small ox horn bows and arrows, ivory hand bells, and various rare toys.

The rewards Honghui received when he was little were also carefully selected by her.

"Mammy, these were given by the late emperor. Pick out the pairs and bring them out."

"Go to the jewelry store and pick out some valuable items to give to Qiqige later."

"I want the Tong family to know that she is my daughter and my grandson is my treasure."

Defei curled the corners of her mouth, as if she was ready to show off her power at the one-year-old banquet.

Grandma Gao was so stunned that she just stood there in a daze!

The Queen is so powerful!

How could he persuade Consort De to attend the one-year-old celebration and even prepare a gift so carefully?

Then she was filled with joy. After all, she felt bad seeing Concubine De being so awkward.

It would be best if Concubine De could accept it and the mother and daughter could reconcile.

Her voice trembled a little as she said, "Yes, Madam, don't worry. I will pick the best one."

Seeing her beaming face, Concubine De feigned scolding, "You're just dying to take all my goodies!"

Grandma Gao had served her all her life and knew her temper very well.

He didn't say anything, just went downstairs to prepare.

Defei sat on the chair, her thoughts drifting to the day of the one-year-old banquet.

Imagining herself dressed up and attending the ceremony, with the Tong family members kneeling respectfully to greet her, and the surprise and gratitude in Wen Xian's eyes, her mood became even more cheerful...
