Yun Suyue thought about Si Yanzhuo's sticky confession and thought she would probably never be able to get rid of him in this lifetime. Oh, it was so frustrating, her damn charm.

"What? Aunt Imperial? Are you really Yun Suyue?" Si Jingrui's heart was split in half by a knife, blood spilled all over the ground, and he felt a little embarrassed.

He had once been curious and asked his mother why the Seventh Prince Uncle had never married a princess. Was it just because of the poisoning? Strangely, the Queen Mother didn't urge him to do so, but instead urged them, the younger generation.

He still remembered his mother's reply at that time: "It's hard to imagine that there are still infatuated people in the royal family. Ever since your seventh uncle met the jewel in the crown of the Yun family, no other woman has caught his eye.

They were engaged, arranged by the Empress Dowager herself, though not many people knew about it. Later, your young uncle, the Seventh Prince, accidentally blocked the world's most potent poison for your father. Then, the Yun family suffered another disaster, resulting in three deaths and one disability.

The Queen Mother was heartbroken and felt pity for the only remaining intact member of the Yun family. She was unwilling to see the jewel of the Yun family marry your Seventh Uncle and soon become a widow, which would be equivalent to the royal family killing the entire Yun family.

It just so happened that your Seventh Uncle also loved her deeply and couldn't bear it, so the grandfather and grandson reluctantly broke off the engagement and kept the news secret.

"Why is this happening?"

Si Jingrui felt extremely embarrassed. He actually confessed his love to his future imperial aunt. It was so embarrassing.

Yun Suyue crossed her arms: "What else? My future nephew?"

"You? You shouted too early." Si Jingrui was so angry and ashamed that he said something with a red face and turned away.

"Alas, my cultivation is still not enough." Yun Suyue looked at Si Jingrui who was driven away by her, feeling smug.

"Alas, my damn charm that has nowhere to go has even captivated my future nephew."

Yun Suyue was feeling smug when she saw someone coming towards her.

"Well, Xiao Suyue did a great job. She left no misunderstandings and cut off Jingrui's thoughts that shouldn't have been there."

Yun Suyue instantly turned into a little girl, "Ah, Queen Mother, why are you here? I'll be at Taihe Palace soon."

"I came here because I couldn't let go." The Queen Mother listened to what Nanny Rong said about Yun Suyue's words to Concubine Lan. Even though she was an old woman, her blood boiled. Many men in the Maple Forest Dynasty were not as good as her.

How could she let Concubine Lan bully her baby?

Qingluo's daughter is her daughter. No, there is a generation difference. Who cares? A daughter is a daughter. A princess is a daughter. "Come on, come back to the palace with me. I have been waiting for you to eat for a long time. I can't enjoy the meal without you."

Unexpectedly, a large group of bees and butterflies followed behind them, "Queen Dowager, wait for us concubines. We are full. You and Sister Su Yue can eat yours. We concubines will borrow your joke book to read."

"Joke book?" Yun Suyue turned around. "Oh my god, there are so many concubines here. Could it be that all the three palaces and six courtyards of the Holy Emperor are here?"

The Queen Mother beside her pulled Yun Suyue and ran away, "If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. That was given to me by little Suyue. Didn't you pass it around and look at it for a long time this morning?"

"But Queen Mother, that's not enough. The time is too short, and the Holy Emperor hasn't turned over our cards, so I can only come to your place to kill time."

Well, the three palaces and six courtyards behind also followed, and the scene was so grand and pleasing to the eyes!

How could the elderly Queen Mother possibly outrun the young concubines? She was chased to the Taihe Palace and couldn't drive them away. As daughters-in-law, she was too embarrassed to blush for this, so she had to reluctantly give up and take out the joke book again:

"Well, each of you will send a maid to copy a copy, and everyone will have a copy in the future. Don't bother me all the time."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration. Come on, Xiaohong."

"Xiaolu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get some paper and pen to copy it down."

"Hurry up, hurry up, go and copy it too."

Yun Suyue ate the imperial meal, looked at the three palaces and six courtyards with a smile, and whispered to the empress dowager, "Are they usually so boring? They don't even have a joke book?"

There are a lot of joke books in her space, but she is the only one who recognizes the simplified characters on them. Otherwise, she would take them out and give one to everyone to make good connections.

The Queen Mother was like a gossipy girl. Seeing Yun Suyue's curiosity, she tilted her head and told Yun Suyue, "You are right. They usually rack their brains to gain the favor of the Holy Emperor. But think about it, I only have one son. Even if so many of them take turns once a month, it will take them three months to get a turn.

So, wouldn't the remaining eighty-nine days be filled with boredom? Those comic books, joke books, and the like are just street goods, not allowed in the palace. Wouldn't that make things even more boring and lonely?

This is why your mother refused to enter the palace, but your father knew your mother first. When Mingyuan met your mother, your father and your mother were already in love.

It was like being surrounded by flowers in the three palaces and six courtyards in real life. Yun Suyue's curiosity was also on fire. "Oh my, so what they show in the TV series is real. So when they can't see the Holy Emperor, can they only embroider flowers, raise fish and pull weeds?"

The Queen Mother shook her head, "Not entirely. Those who can endure loneliness can improve their cooking, piano playing, painting, reading, etc. My library is open all day, but they find those books boring and don't like to read them.

Women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs, so they think day and night about how to win my son's favor. Sometimes when Mingyuan turns over their cards, apart from the food and drink of the female workers, they only have intrigues and complaints to talk about.

It's okay to listen to them once, twice, but after three times, Ming Yuan is unwilling to turn over their cards. Being a concubine cannot interfere in politics, but it can relieve worries. Unfortunately, they only want to compete for favor. I have taught them many times, but it's useless.

Yun Suyue ate and listened, her eyes fixed on the empress dowager.

How could the Queen Mother, who had lived her entire life, not know what Yun Suyue's eyes meant? She laughed, "Ha, little Suyue is quite curious. I am actually just like your mother and don't want to enter the palace.

But I don’t have the same firm heart as your mother. Once my heart softened, I was tricked by the emperor and brought back to the palace.

I remember it was a spring day, and the peach blossoms in my home were in full bloom. I was carrying a basket to pick peach blossoms to make peach blossom pastry, when the injured emperor suddenly broke in.

At that time, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, and I thought he was a young man from an ordinary family, so I saved him from losing too much blood and falling into a coma, and placed him in a small wooden house in the peach forest.

When the emperor woke up and saw me for the first time, he told me that he liked me. I was not a shy lady, and while he was recovering from his injury, I volunteered to help him fetch water, dig soil, chop wood, and do all kinds of farm work.

She thought he was a good person, so she naturally decided to spend her life with him. When her parents found out, they didn't say anything. After testing the emperor for a while, they finally agreed.

But he lied to me. He said his mother died young and his father didn't care about him. Getting married was his own business, a matter of a lifetime, and he hoped to get married in the Ten-Mile Peach Forest.

I foolishly believed it, so my parents invited relatives to hold a wedding for us.

As a result, on the third day after our marriage, a large group of people surrounded my cabin. At that moment, I realized that he was not an ordinary man and had never told me the truth.

Afterwards, he swore to heaven that he was sincere to me, and since we had already consummated our marriage, it was natural for me to go back to the palace with him.

I was heartbroken and refused to accept his request, but my parents and brothers were so happy that they forced me to follow him into the palace. Later, he kept his promise and although he selected many concubines, he always favored me the most.

I was the only one who ate, lived and slept with him. We had children one after another, but they were killed one after another by other jealous concubines using various means. Mingyuan was actually the sixth child.

In order to keep this, I was raised in the Qinzheng Palace since I was a child. No one else was allowed to get close to me. There were only two people serving me. I did a lot of things myself because I was afraid..."

After a long pause, the Queen Mother continued.
