Chapter 427 The Queen Mother wants to choose a concubine for the new emperor

Author: Yuan An

Shen Qinglan took the initiative to take the tea cup, said "Thank you, sir" to the waiter who served the tea, and then took a sip from the tea cup.

"Empress Dowager, what are your orders? I will do my best," Shen Qinglan said.

"What's the order? It's just that the Ai family saw that you were able to do things well, so they wanted to ask for your help." said the Queen Mother.

Shen Qinglan lowered her head slightly and said, "The Queen Mother has spoken harshly, please make it clear."

"The new emperor has ascended the throne and wants to make Yanyan queen. Do you know about this?" the Queen Mother asked.

"I have already heard about it." Shen Qinglan chuckled and said, "Sister Yan Yan is the most beautiful, virtuous and virtuous girl in the world. She is from the Jiang family and is the best choice for a mother in the world."

Hearing what she said, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although the new emperor is not in Beijing, the new emperor's back space cannot always be empty. The Ai family is ready to make the decision on their own and choose the concubine for the new emperor. Now Ai

My family is not feeling well, and this requires you to do your best to help my family."

Shen Qinglan sighed secretly, the Queen Mother really didn't stop for a moment.

Zhao Bai already wanted to marry Jiang Chuo as his queen, but she was not satisfied yet.

Is it necessary to oust Zhao Bai from the throne, remove Zhao Shun from the position of regent, and welcome his own son to the throne?

As the wife of a minister, if she intervened in this matter, she might be suspected of overstepping her bounds.

"Empress Dowager, I have just arrived in Kyoto. I have been staying in Luoping in the past years. I don't know much about the ladies of the official family in Kyoto. I'm afraid... I can't be of much help." Shen Qinglan said.

"Because of this, the Princess Regent will not be partial and will only choose suitable women to enter the palace. Linchuan is also on good terms with the new emperor. The Ai family cannot trouble the Empress Dowager about this matter, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward.

Yes. You are the princess of the current regent. In terms of seniority, the new emperor will also call you Wangsao. We are all members of the same family, so there is no need to be formal." said the Queen Mother.

"This... Queen Mother, I am from a small family and have no experience in such a big matter..." Shen Qinglan continued to evade.

The Queen Mother was obviously displeased and said: "Before the Princess Regent got married, the Shen family once provided disaster relief in Luoping City. I heard that the Princess Regent handled affairs very well at that time. Naturally, the matter of choosing a concubine will not be a problem for you."

"Princess, now that the Queen Mother is unwell, she still cares about the new emperor and the stability of the court. After choosing a concubine for the new emperor, the new emperor also has the support of more people in the family. If you shirk this matter, the Queen Mother will still

Who can you trust?" said Mother Meng.

"Mommy, I'm younger, I'm afraid I can't afford such a big job." Shen Qinglan said.

The Queen Mother played with a string of emeralds in her hand and said: "You are young and will inevitably feel frightened when encountering problems. This is what the Ai family thinks. You and the eldest princess will handle this matter together, so you have nothing to worry about."

Shen Qinglan was silent for a moment. The Queen Mother glanced at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess, you will be able to handle this matter appropriately. It doesn't matter even if there is a slight mistake."

"If I made a joke, please don't blame the Queen Mother." Shen Qinglan reluctantly agreed.

"You are still young, and the Ai family will naturally take care of any inconsiderate things. As the regent princess, you should also experience and practice. As for matters related to your palace, why not... The Ai family find someone to help you?" the Queen Mother said.

"The Queen Mother feels sorry for me. I shouldn't refuse. It's just that... the matters in the palace are complicated, and the Queen Mother also needs people to serve me. I don't dare to miss the health of the empress. Several people in the palace

The eldest girls are very good at handling the affairs of the palace, so there won't be anything wrong if they take care of it for the time being." Shen Qinglan said.

The Queen Mother nodded, "Well, in that case, you can go back to Prince Ling's Mansion and discuss the draft with the eldest princess."

Shen Qinglan stood up and said: "I obey my orders."

After leaving Zening Hall, Shen Qinglan looked very unhappy and was depressed all the time.

Yan'er also held back her anger and said: "The Queen Mother really knows how to trouble people. You are asked to handle such a big thing. Now that His Majesty is not in Kyoto, how can you make the decision without permission? Miss Jiang has always been on good terms with you. If

Miss Jiang will inevitably feel unhappy if she finds out about it, and there will inevitably be complaints from the Jiang family. This kind of job is really thankless... Princess, why don't you blame the illness and push this matter to the eldest princess? "

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "You also know that this is a thankless task, how could the eldest princess not know? The Queen Mother has said so, and I have no reason to refuse at all."

"Alas..." Yan'er sighed and said, "I don't know when the Queen Mother will be able to calm down and stop causing trouble to the palace."

"The Queen Mother hates me, the prince, and your majesty, so how can she give up so easily? That's all, leave the palace later and follow me to Prince Ling's Mansion." Shen Qinglan said.

"The princess will leave the palace right away? Why not... go back to the palace first and discuss with the princess before making any plans." Yan'er suggested.

"The eldest princess is also my aunt. I always have to meet her. I can't let my second sister-in-law do everything in the middle. I'd better go by myself." Shen Qinglan said.

"That's good. The eldest princess treats you well, princess. By the way, princess, don't you think the appearance of the young marquis is very strange?" Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "That's right. Now that the Queen Mother is personally raising Young Master Zi Yin, she wants to hire a companion for Young Master Zi Yin. It is unusual to choose Mr. Mu Xiaohou. After all, Mr. Mu is very talented and has a noble character. But...

…The Queen Mother first asked me to go to the Buddhist hall, and then she said she was ill and did not come. On the contrary, the young Marquis was there. This move was obviously intentional."

"What does the Queen Mother mean? Could it be that she knows about the past affairs between you and the young Marquis?" Yan'er guessed.

"I guess the Queen Mother may have heard a few rumors, but she didn't dare to believe them, so she deliberately set up a test today." Shen Qinglan said.

Yan'er was surprised, "Didn't what the young Marquis said today confirm everything?"

"Yes, the young Marquis has a simple mind and fell into the Queen Mother's trap easily. However, there is no need to worry. Since you know that the Queen Mother wants to use the young Marquis to cause trouble, just be careful in the future." Shen Qinglan said.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at Zhanghua Palace.

The Queen Mother has prepared lunch and is waiting for Shen Qinglan to arrive.

"Sisi came late, please don't blame Grandma Huang and Master Miaoying."

"Come here, the Queen Mother is looking for you. What's going on?" the Queen Mother asked.

"The Queen Mother said that there will be a talent show for Your Majesty, and she asked me to handle the matter." Shen Qinglan answered truthfully.

The Empress Dowager suddenly turned cold and said, "The Empress Dowager has become more and more lenient. Now that the Emperor is not in Beijing, why are you so anxious about the draft?"

"Returning to the Imperial Grandmother, the Queen Mother is also thinking about Your Majesty. Firstly, Your Majesty's harem will be empty. Secondly, by choosing a show, Your Majesty can also have more support from aristocratic families." Shen Qinglan said.
