Chapter 264 Meeting with the Queen Mother in Zening Palace

Shen Qinglan arrived at the Zening Palace and learned that the Queen Mother was taking a nap and was taken to the side hall by the palace officials.

The palace people brought tea and snacks. Shen Qinglan nodded and picked up the tea cup.

Yan'er stood beside her and asked in a low voice: "Princess, is the Queen Mother giving us a blow?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Qinglan looked around, "It is common for the Queen Mother to take a nap, but we came too early."

After a long time, the Queen Mother still wasn't summoned.

Shen Qinglan had already drank two cups of tea and eaten most of the fruit.

"Princess, will the Queen Mother have something to do today and won't see you?" Yan'er whispered.

"I don't know either……"

After saying that, the Queen Mother came to the side hall with the support of the palace servants.

"Have you been waiting for a long time, County Master?"

The Queen Mother's face was not very good, and there was no trace of happiness.

"My concubine Shen Qinglan, please see the Queen Mother."

Shen Qinglan quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Get up quickly. County Lord, has there been a lot of business in the palace recently?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. Last month, half of the courtyard of the mansion was missing due to a big party. It is currently being repaired." Shen Qinglan replied.

"Oh. Sit down, someone's here to serve tea."

After the Queen Mother said that, she glanced at the snack table next to Shen Qinglan.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"County Lord, I wonder how the houses in the palace are being repaired?"

"When I get back to you, I'm almost done with the cultivation. It will be over in less than half a month."

The Queen Mother calmly picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and put it down again.

"It's nothing important to come to you today. I just have a few ladies from the official family to introduce you to each other." said the Queen Mother.

Shen Qinglan chuckled and asked, "I wonder whose young lady the Queen Mother wants to introduce?"

"They are all young ladies from the families of some old ministers in the court. Now that you are a member of the royal family, this kind of human contact is indispensable. I also know that you are from Luoping City and don't know much about Kyoto.

Officials know very little about it, but the regent is in charge of major affairs in the court, so naturally you have to worry about these." said the Queen Mother.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "What the Queen Mother taught me is that I am young, so please give me some guidance from the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded, quite satisfied with this answer.

"Although you two are newlyweds, the regent has a high position. Not only are you a prince, you are also the nephew of the late emperor and the direct bloodline of the Zhao family. Now that Linchuan is already old and has no heirs, you should not be cautious. You are young.

, the body is not suitable for pregnancy yet, so I have to worry about the Ai family and add a few more to the Linchuan room." said the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sat on the throne, looked at Shen Qinglan, and said: "The Ai family knows that the county master is not a jealous person."

Shen Qinglan still smiled and nodded slightly towards the Queen Mother who was sitting in the seat, "Thank you very much for the praise, Queen Mother."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother became a little unhappy.

Shen Qinglan didn't say whether she was willing or unwilling. She just said "Thank you for the compliment." It seemed that she didn't want her to interfere in the affairs of the Regent's Palace.

At this time, a little palace maid came in and answered.

"Your Majesty, the ladies from all the prefectures are here."

"Well, let them all come in."

After the ladies entered the side hall, they all knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother who was sitting on the main seat. The Queen Mother directly asked them to stand up and gave them seats.

The nun next to the Queen Mother introduced: "County Master, these three ladies, one is from the Zuo family, one is from the Zhuang family, and the one on the far right is from the General Zhuo family. They have been growing up in Kyoto City.

Da, I am very familiar with everything in Kyoto, and I can help you with your worries after entering the Regent's Palace."

Shen Qinglan picked up the teacup and took a sip, still remaining silent.

Not only the Queen Mother, but also the nuns in the Queen Mother's Palace only call her County Princess.

Doesn't it mean that she doesn't recognize her identity as a princess?

Also, although Zhao Shun had already become the county king, he had no real power in his hands. Now he suddenly became the regent. How could she, a woman from a merchant, be worthy of it?

It seems that what the Queen Mother means is that if she, Shen Qinglan, listens to the Queen Mother in everything from now on and follows the instructions of the Zening Palace, then she can continue to be the princess. If she does not do this, the Queen Mother will make her an abandoned wife at any time.

"County Lord, are you... dissatisfied?" the Queen Mother said.

Shen Qinglan slowly put down the tea cup and asked with a smile: "I am stupid, but I just didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant."

"What the Queen Mother means is that if these three young ladies become the concubines of the Prince Regent's Palace, it will be auspicious for them to enter the palace." said the nun beside the Queen Mother.

"That's it. Queen Mother, please forgive me that I cannot make decisions on my own. For such matters, you should ask the prince for his wishes." Shen Qinglan said.

The Queen Mother sneered, "The Regent was raised by the Ai family. He lost his mother when he was young. As his elder, I arranged three concubines for his own good. Naturally, he will not refuse.

"

"County Master, the Queen Mother has already found someone to look at it. The day after tomorrow will be auspicious. Please ask the County Master to pack up the house where the three ladies live so that the three ladies can move in and help you take care of the palace.

Matters." Mammy said again.

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "In that case, I will just follow the Queen Mother's orders."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "The Ai family knows that you are a sensible child."

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

Hearing the shout from the servant in the outer courtyard, Zhao Shun entered the door of the side hall.

The queen was stunned, she didn't expect Zhao Shun to come!

The others stood up quickly to see the regent arriving.

"See Prince Regent."

Shen Qinglan was about to kneel down when Zhao Shun helped him up.

"Princess, there is no need to be polite."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, he knelt down to the Queen Mother who was sitting on the throne to say hello.

"Your Majesty Zhao Shun, please pay a visit to the Queen Mother. She will live a thousand years in peace."

"Well, get up, everyone, get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After Zhao Shun stood up, the Queen Mother asked: "The Regent is not handling official duties in Qinxian Hall at this time, so why is he here in Zening Hall?"

"I have something to discuss with the Queen Mother, but I never thought that my princess would be in the Zening Palace," Zhao Shun said.

"Well, since your wedding, the Ai family has never seen the county head again, so they asked her to come over and reminisce about old times. She happened to get to know the young lady from the eunuch's family in the court," the Queen Mother said.

"I see."

Zhao Shun took a look at the three young ladies. They were pretty, but sitting in the same room as his Sisi and making judgments, there was no comparison at all.

It was too naive for the Queen Mother to want to use such a woman to capture his heart and take away the love that belonged to the Princess.

The Queen Mother glanced at the nanny, who immediately understood and introduced: "Prince Regent, these three ladies have grown up in Kyoto since childhood. The one on the left is..."

"Mom, there's no need to say it, I'm not interested." Zhao Shun said coldly.
