After a long pause, the Queen Mother continued, "Oh, by the way, Old Seven Yan Zhuo's mother was a young lady from a reclusive family who had fled. She was rescued by the Retired Emperor when he was out on a secret visit. She was already seriously injured when he rescued her, and her life was numbered.

It just so happened that the other princes sent someone to assassinate the retired emperor. The assassin was killed, but the retired emperor was poisoned by a strong hallucinogen. The seventh prince's mother was trying to detoxify him, but the retired emperor mistook her for me and forced... "

When he woke up, the seventh prince's mother had hanged herself beside the bed. The emperor rescued her, but she was breathing weakly and was almost dying. Finally, he used a precious pill to save her.

She had nowhere to go, so she persuaded the seventh brother's mother to go back to the palace with her.

When I saw the seventh prince's mother, I was jealous. Her face was so beautiful and exotic, different from any other woman.

But after getting along with her, I found that she was a very nice person and had no intention of competing for favor.

By the way, the seventh brother’s mother is called Gu Wanyin. She and your mother are good sisters who escaped from the tribe together, but they are not related by blood. In order to survive, they fled separately and have been separated for many years.

This is also the reason why your mother only found out about it when Wanyin was about to die of illness. At that time, Wanyin knew that your mother had given birth to you, so she arranged the marriage, which coincided with my idea.

It was because of this that I met your mother, Gu Qingluo. Because I liked Wanyin, I also fell in love with your mother. You know what happened later."

Yun Suyue was shocked: It turned out that her mother had such a legendary origin. Could she be the noble eldest daughter of some powerful family?

But the Queen Mother didn’t know that she had lost all her memories before the age of five. “No wonder when Si Yanzhuo saw me for the first time in Qingzhou, he looked at me with a strange look as if he had met me again after a long separation.

Although he was very cold, his eyes never lied, they were full of affection, as if he had a lot to say, but he was indifferent and didn't say a word. It was not until I forced him to poison me and gradually became familiar with me that he became more and more frivolous and expressed his feelings in different ways.

At that time, I just thought he was a cool playboy, and that everything he said was fake and he was just teasing me, so I didn’t take it seriously.

The Queen Mother was delighted. "This is your inseparable fate. The Seventh Prince secretly went to Qingzhou to see you. Mingyuan and I didn't know about it. We thought he was half-dead like he had been for the past ten years, hiding in his own Seventh Prince's Mansion, doing nothing but practicing martial arts and eating and waiting to die."

I didn't expect him to rush over immediately after learning you'd divorced your husband. With his body, he's still breathing to see you in Qingzhou City. He must have great power."

Yun Suyue wanted to laugh. The Queen Mother teased the son she raised without holding back. Now she finally understood why the Queen Mother was so casual and different from others. It turned out that she was a legend.

"Hahaha, I think so too. Cheers." Yun Suyue raised her soup bowl and toasted with the Queen Mother.

"Cheers, drink with me." The Queen Mother happily picked up the soup bowl.

The two of them were clearly drinking nutritious soup, but it felt just like drinking alcohol, so refreshing.

Seeing that they had finished their meal, the concubines from the three palaces and six courtyards nearby gathered around them and said, "Please, Queen Mother, please lend us Sister Su Yue for a while. We want to hear stories from outside."

The Queen Mother saw that everyone's eyes were wide open and they looked like they were going to eat little Su Yue. She immediately protected her child and said, "No, no, you can kneel down and pay your respects."

"Oh, Queen Mother? Please, can you lend it to me for a while?" The ladies in the three palaces and six courtyards began to make a fuss and beg.

There was really no other way, so the Queen Mother ordered, "Just a moment, a cup of tea."

"Pfft, Queen Mother, a cup of tea is only enough for tea."

"Oh, Queen Mother? Queen Mother? Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother: "The two cups of tea."

"Ah? Queen Mother? Queen Mother? Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother: "If you don't agree, forget it. Come, clear the area."

"We agree." The three palaces and six courtyards raised their hands in surrender.

Instantly, everyone surrounded Yun Suyue, "Sister Suyue, can you help me figure out why I'm not pregnant yet?"

"I, I, I, it was me who asked the Queen Mother first, Sister Su Yue, please let me see first. I don't see if I'm pregnant, but I suffer from insomnia and nightmares."

"Sisters, those are just trivial matters. I, I, I seem to be pregnant."

"What? You're pregnant? Impossible. The Holy Emperor hasn't been to your palace for three months."

"Nonsense, the Holy Emperor asked for her in the Imperial Study last month."

"Ugh, you scheming concubine, you must have drugged the Holy Emperor, Queen Mother, you must get to the bottom of this..."

Well, the three palaces and six courtyards turned back and surrounded the empress dowager, talking in unison, and buried her in an instant.

Yun Suyue smiled and shook her head. These women in the deep palace were always jealous of each other. No wonder the empress dowager ran away when she saw them. Who could stand that?

Out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly noticed a covered guqin. She uncovered it and took a look. "What a nice guqin!"

When she looked at the Queen Mother again, she was so buried that she could only hear her voice.

Her fingers gently plucked the strings, her urge to play the piano taking over. She ignored the other women and focused on playing. She thought about singing a song that would make her feel happy, hoping that these lonely women would understand.

Don't just fight for favor all day long. If you can't wait for the Holy Emperor to turn over your favor, you will come to harm the Queen Mother.

The next second, melodious piano music spread out, and a clean voice resounded throughout the Taihe Palace: "The world of mortals is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, and it's ok to be arrogant. This life is not over, but my heart is no longer disturbed. I just want to exchange it for half a lifetime of freedom.

······

The higher the sky, the smaller my heart becomes. I don't care about the consequences. I get drunk alone, crying today and laughing tomorrow. I don't ask anyone to understand. I am full of pride, singing and dancing. The night is long and I don't know when I will find happiness at dawn...

A line of lyrics captures the heartbreak of the palaces, "Sister Su Yue sang so well. If I had known it would be like this after entering the palace, I would have just found someone to marry."

"Yes, who would have thought that after marrying the best man in the world, you wouldn't even see him once in three months? Your best years shouldn't be spent alone for the Holy Emperor."

"Thank you, Sister Su Yue. I have gained enlightenment. I will go back and do the embroidery I like. One day I will embroider a dragon robe for the Holy Emperor. He will definitely like me."

"..."

Yun Suyue rolled her eyes: You understand nothing!

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, I understand too. I'm going to go back and improve my painting skills, and draw more lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects. I can sell them and contribute to our national treasury. The Holy Emperor will definitely take a new look at me."

Yun Suyue: You understand nothing!

"Great! I know how to grow flowers, and I can sell them for a lot of silver, winning the favor of the Holy Emperor..."

Yun Suyue looked up at the sky helplessly: I can’t reach it, I can’t reach it, I’ve lost, I’ve lost completely!

Well, in the blink of an eye, the scene suddenly changed, Yun Suyue's singing continued, and the people from the three palaces and six courtyards left happily, leaving the empress dowager alone to enjoy herself.

There was no need for Yun Suyue to play or sing anymore.

"Thanks to little Su Yue, the world is finally peaceful. You sing so well. I have never heard such a little song." The Queen Mother was very happy.

Yun Suyue's beautiful eyes smiled, "Okay, since the Queen Mother likes it, then I will continue to perform my ugly song. Just treat it as a lullaby before bed."

Yun Suyue continued to play and sing with her slender fingers. After she finished singing the second half, the empress dowager missed the emperor who passed away earlier even more.

What Yun Suyue didn't know was that all the palace servants passing by Taihe Palace stopped and put their ears against the walls of Taihe Palace to listen, mesmerized, until the Holy Emperor stood behind them at some point.
