Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately laughed.

"This Xie Jingchi is just the same as Congqi. Every time he came to me, he would ask for some rewards." The Queen Mother spoke dotingly.

"That's because you dote on him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had eight courage." Shen Shuyi supported the empress dowager and continued.

The Queen Mother sighed softly: "Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you also have a child."

Shen Shuyi immediately said, "Although time is merciless, from what I see, the Empress Dowager is still radiant and radiant, without the slightest sign of being wasted by time."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You are so sweet-mouthed, using these words to coax me."

"Come on, tell me what you've been doing in Liang Province these past few years, what the scenery is like there, and how the Canglang King repelled the Yuanxia army."

Shen Shuyi wasn't sure whether the Queen Mother knew that the Wolf King was Xie Jingchi, but seeing that she didn't want to delve into it, she didn't plan to test her further.

This chat lasted for nearly two hours. Shen Shuyi was always good at observing people's expressions and he had studied the Queen Mother's preferences in his previous life, so he made the Queen Mother particularly happy.

Aunt Haoyue, who was standing by, was all smiles as she said to the maidservant beside her, "Your Majesty hasn't been this happy in a long time."

"Princess Mingzhu is still the one who pleases Her Majesty."

As he was speaking, a eunuch hurried in to report, "Your Excellency, the Empress Dowager, thank you for your audience."

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Shuyi and said with a smile, "Xie Jingchi must have grown impatient after seeing that I haven't released him for a long time."

Shen Shuyi immediately said, "No way, he just wishes I could spend more time with the Empress so that he can get some reward money for him."

"Forget it. Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more food. You and Xie Jingchi will stay here for dinner today."

"Thank you for your grace, Madam."

After a while, Xie Jingchi walked in from outside. The empress dowager's eyes fell on Xie Jingchi and she was dazed for a moment.

No wonder she liked him before, thinking that he had a rare good-looking appearance in the world.

No wonder the emperor dotes on him so much. It turns out that he is his grandson.

If Huai Jin hadn't died, if he and Yin Qiling had gotten married, the same would probably have happened to their child.

"No need to be so formal, just sit down." The Queen Mother said with a smile, looking quite kind.

Xie Jingchi was wearing a royal blue suit with a pine branch and bright moon pattern embroidered on the chest, a jade crown on his head, and a gold belt around his waist. As soon as he walked in, he attracted everyone's attention.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think, so handsome.

So this is what it feels like to like someone. In her previous life, she didn't even want to waste time talking to Xiao Tingshan, let alone take a good look at his face.

Whenever she did something, she always encountered obstacles, so in the end, she simply resorted to tough measures to solve the problem.

But Xie Jingchi is different. Not to mention anything else, I can’t get enough of looking at his face.

Noticing Shen Shuyi's gaze, Xie Jingchi looked up, smiled faintly, walked straight forward, and pulled her to sit down.

The Queen Mother was quite pleased to see the two of them being so intimate.

Xie Jingchi took out a box and presented it to the Empress Dowager: "These are some small things that Shuyi and I bought in Liangzhou. I brought them to entertain you. I hope Your Majesty will not dislike them."

"I don't mind, I don't mind." The Queen Mother opened the box and was slightly distracted.

The items in the box were not valuable. Just as Xie Jingchi said, most of them were specialties from the Liangzhou area. They were novel and rare in Beijing.

Just this scene reminded the empress dowager of the youth of Emperor Qianwu and Xiao Huaijin.

Her two sons are often more attentive than other girls. If they sneak out of the palace, they will definitely bring her some new things from outside the palace. Huaijin is steady and careful, and often sneaks out with Chengzhang to protect him. Chengzhang is sweet-mouthed and the best at coaxing people.

So every time she was frightened and angry, she couldn't bear to teach them a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Huai Jin had been dead for many years, Cheng Zhang had also grown old, and she, an old woman, was still struggling to survive.

The Queen Mother was lost in her own memories, and Xie Jingchi reached out to take the box back.

The Queen Mother came back to her senses: "What are you doing?"

"I noticed that Her Majesty seemed unhappy, so I thought, why not not send it off." Xie Jingchi raised the corner of his lips.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed and hit his hand: "You bastard! How can you ask for something back after giving it away?"

Xie Jingchi also laughed: "This minister is not afraid that the queen will be unhappy."

The Queen Mother closed the box and handed it to Haoyue beside her: "I like it. It's amazing that you are so thoughtful."

"Then your Majesty must reward my wife with more headgear and jewelry. Shushu should not be shabby if she has what other women in the capital have." Xie Jingchi was very ruthless when asking for things.

A meal where both the guest and the host enjoy themselves.

After the meal, the two men saw that the empress dowager was a little tired, so they took their leave first.

However, as soon as he returned to Xie's house, the empress dowager's rewards came like water.

Emperor Qianwu and the Empress Dowager bestowed rewards one after another, which caused quite a stir. Many people in the capital had already sent visiting cards to their door.

Shen Shuyi sent a message to the Shen Mansion and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, planning to visit them tomorrow.

As for the rest, she plans to wait.

After taking a shower, Shen Shuyi leaned on the couch and read a book. She felt that she had become more and more lazy since she became pregnant.

Not long after, Xie Jingchi came back from taking a shower and took her into his arms.

Shen Shuyi put down the book and turned to look at him: "Is everything going well?"

Xie Jingchi responded, "Of course."

"Your Majesty summoned you again today?" Shen Shuyi asked.

"Well, let's just chat about family matters and talk about the love between father and son." Xie Jingchi looked calm and didn't seem to have too many feelings.

Shen Shuyi stared at him for a while, then gently stroked his hair with a bit of heartache.

It is said that he was deeply favored by the emperor and was trusted by Emperor Qianwu, but which of these did he not fight for himself?

If Emperor Qianwu really loved him so much, how could he have the heart to let him go to the State of Chen as a hostage? If he really loved his son so much, how could he have fulfilled his wish and let him serve as an official in the court as Xie Jingchi?

If he really loved his son so much, he would have known from the beginning that the dead person was not the Ninth Prince, nor would he have agreed when he asked to go to the State of Chen, and he would not have delayed restoring his status as a prince, making him a knife in his hand and a target for all the treacherous villains.

Shen Shuyi's eyes were gentle as she gently brushed aside his hair, her expression full of heartache.

Can nearly twenty years of life be summed up in just a few words?

How could the suffering he endured be erased with just a few words?

Shen Shuyi gently held him in her arms, stroked his hair, and whispered, "What are your plans?"

"In accordance with father's wishes, we should get rid of Xiao Tingshan first." Xie Jingchi spoke slowly. He looked particularly docile while lying on her, except for his pair of dark phoenix eyes, which were cold and gloomy.

He has disliked him for a long time.
