Being looked at by her such passionate and innocent eyes, the Queen Mother was a little unsure of how to start talking.

"Do you know how people outside are talking about you? With your character like this, I am not optimistic about this marriage."

Tang Xiluo nodded: "I know, but they have the upper hand, and I can't do anything about it. If the Queen Mother is not satisfied with this marriage, why not cancel it?" It just so happened that she didn't want to marry that short-lived guy.

Maybe the Queen Mother can accomplish what my father failed to do?

"How dare you speak against the Queen Mother."

Before the Queen Mother could say anything, another old maid behind her started to scold her.

Tang Xiluo's eyes widened in disbelief. She had only said a normal word, so how could that be considered a contradiction to the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother raised her hand and signaled the old nanny to leave.

The little girl's manners and way of speaking were indeed a bit aggressive, but she could tell that she didn't mean it. She was just a carefree person, and most people in military families were like this.

It's actually not bad for a girl like this to marry Chen'er. One is active while the other is quiet. One is innocent while the other is far-sighted. The two complement each other quite well.

So the Queen Mother changed the subject: "Although I am not satisfied, I cannot help but be satisfied with Chen'er, so I also want to meet my daughter-in-law in advance today."

Tang Xiluo: “……?!!” Where’s the objection you promised? Where’s the difficulty you promised?

She didn't do anything and didn't say anything, yet she easily dealt with the Queen Mother?!

How could the Queen Mother change her expression so quickly? Just a moment ago, I could see the disdain and dissatisfaction in her eyes, but in just a few minutes, she immediately changed to a kind expression.

Why is the Queen Mother still thinking about herself?

"Girl Luo, come here and let me take a good look at you."

Such a pretty little girl, Chen Er is not bad looking either, they are truly a perfect match! Can anyone in the imperial city be more beautiful than them?

The Queen Mother couldn't stop smiling. She couldn't even imagine how good-looking her grandson would be in the future.

"Good child, this is the bracelet that Chen'er's grandmother left for me. Now consider it as a gift from me to you. In the future, you must take care of your husband and children and live in harmony with him. Don't act recklessly like you did before."

Tang Xiluo stared at the bracelet closely, and a few big words emerged in his mind: This is a good thing!

The corners of her mouth also rose unconsciously: "This subject will follow the instructions of the Queen Mother."

Suddenly I feel that there is nothing wrong with marrying a prince. There is delicious food and drink, and there is gold and silver to spend.

I went to the palace last time. It was so magnificent! It should be the one with the most money, right?

Seeing her smile like a money-grubber, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. She hadn't smiled since she came in, but now she smiled like this when she saw a bracelet? What a foolish child with no future.

Thinking about it, I began to sympathize with this child. Her biological mother passed away early, her father was away from home at the frontier all year round, and there was only one concubine in the mansion who was promoted to stepmother and housekeeper. How could this girl have a good life?

Alas! ~ is also a poor child. The rumors from the outside world are either exaggerated or her stepmother did not educate her well since childhood.

The Queen Mother looked at Tang Xiluo with more loving eyes. She had two sons in her life, and both of them were very busy.

He is a playful person who can't sit still, and after he becomes emperor, he can't always be by his side.

He is a taciturn person and always has a stern face when he comes. He answers every question I ask.

"Good boy, come to the palace often to chat with me in the future. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you are wronged, I will help you."

Tang Xiluo nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, thank you, Queen Mother."

If I come a few more times, I will be rich, right? The Queen Mother is such a good person!

She looked at the empress dowager's face. Even though she was dressed gorgeously and had the best makeup on, she could still tell that she was in poor health.

Considering that she gave me such a valuable gift, I will slowly take care of the Queen Mother's health in the future.

The two of them are not very familiar with each other now, and if I speak rashly, the Queen Mother may not believe me.

Outside the palace, Xiaoli was extremely anxious, but she couldn't go anywhere.

Why hasn't the young lady come out after being in there for so long? Could it be that the Queen Mother is really making things difficult for her? Who can save her from the Queen Mother?

Xiaoli was so anxious that she didn't even notice there was a eunuch suddenly beside her. When she found out, she thought he was from Cishou Palace.

In the imperial study room.

Zhan Jingchen frowned and looked outside the door from time to time. So much time has passed, why is there still no movement?

Zhan Jingxuan stared at his absent-minded third brother in a curious way. It was really rare! This was the first time he saw his third brother absent-minded when discussing serious matters.

"Third brother? What are you thinking about?"

Zhan Jingchen came back to his senses, retracted his gaze towards the outside, and said with a cold face: "Nothing, let's continue."

Zhan Jingxuan suddenly leaned back, his eyes full of teasing.

"My mother suddenly summoned the second young lady of Tangxi Mansion to the palace. Third brother, do you know about this?"

Zhan Jingchen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhan Jingxuan glanced at him and continued, "I don't know why the Queen Mother summoned her. Do you think the Queen Mother will embarrass her?"

Originally, the third brother was about to leave the palace, but suddenly turned back. He happened to hear the eunuch report this matter, and now seeing his third brother behaving so abnormally, he suddenly thought of everything.

Zhan Jingchen said coldly: "What does this have to do with me?"

Zhan Jingxuan clicked his tongue: "She is your princess, if it's none of your business, then whose business is it?"

He can be so absent-minded when discussing government affairs that his mind must have been no longer on them. Why is he still being stubborn?

"Third brother, you really don't plan to go and take a look?"

Zhan Jingchen glanced at him coldly, then said coldly, "No!"

That woman scolded me for being a short-lived ghost and said that marrying me would be a hardship, so I shouldn’t go to see her!

Zhan Jingxuan shrugged: "It's fine if Third Brother doesn't want to go, but I haven't paid my respects to my mother for a long time, so why don't I go and pay my respects to her now?"

It’s a good opportunity to see what my future sister-in-law looks like, and see if she’s as stupid and useless as the rumors say.

"Someone, go to Cishou Palace."

After walking for a while, Zhan Jingxuan turned around and asked in confusion: "Third brother, aren't you not going?"

Zhan Jingchen said with a sullen face: "I am going to pay my respects to my mother."

Zhan Jingxuan was so amused in his heart, but his expression was calm: "Oh, that's quite a coincidence."

In Cishou Palace, the Queen Mother was chatting with Tang Xiluo.

Suddenly, I heard a report outside the door.

"The Emperor has arrived, Prince Chen has arrived!"

The Queen Mother was stunned. Chen'er was here too? Her son rarely came on his own initiative unless she summoned him.

Then the Queen Mother looked at the little girl beside her with understanding.

Tang Xiluo frowned: I'm so unlucky today!

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty."

Zhan Jingxuan was stunned when he saw the woman in front of him. Isn't she too beautiful? No wonder his third brother forged an imperial decree to marry her.

Zhan Jingchen turned his head and glanced at the stunned emperor.

"cough!"

Zhan Jingxuan came back to his senses: "Stand up."

Tang Xiluo stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Highness."

"Everyone else please stand down."

After the maids and nannies left, Zhan Jingxuan took off his disguise.

"Mother, my third brother and I are here to see you!"

The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly: "You are already the Emperor, but you are still like a child." I'm afraid that the way he looks at himself is fake, and the way he looks at Luo girl is real?

Zhan Jingxuan smiled, showing his big white teeth: "What's the big deal? Don't we still have you and Third Brother?"

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly. Only their family of three was united and kind. If it were other people, the brothers would kill each other to the death in order to fight for the throne.

Tang Xiluo was stunned. The idiot in front of him was the emperor? Why did he feel like a fool?

Feeling Tang Xiluo's gaze, Zhan Jingxuan suddenly became serious: "Ahem, sister-in-law... Miss Tangxi, please take a seat. We are family, so there is no need to be so reserved."

Tang Xiluo sat down: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhan Jingchen clenched his fist in anger: This woman didn't even look at me when she entered the room! What's so good about Zhan Jingxuan? Could it be that she wants to enter the palace as a concubine? ! What a daydream!

Can anyone enter the harem if they want? Judging from what she did outside, even if she really entered the harem, she would be drowned in spit by those ministers.

Tang Xiluo sat upright, speechless in his heart: "..." Why was he glaring at me? Was he the only one with two eyes who could glare at others?
