Hearing this, Xu Nian'an looked at the Queen Mother in horror, not knowing how to react for a moment.

[Ah, so this is the real purpose of the Queen Mother's audience today! ]

[I just wonder who the new fiancé the Queen Mother gave to Nian Anding is? ]

[The Queen Mother is really good to Nian'an! She loves her like her own granddaughter. It's a pity that Mu Nian'an, who is obsessed with love, has been brainwashed by Li Jing's sweet words and can't see the truth about human nature! ]

[The Queen Mother is the only one who doesn't think highly of Mu Nian'an and Li Jing. She thinks Li Jing is not sincere to Mu Nian'an and is just using her.]

[For this reason, she opposed and stopped it more than once. Unfortunately, Mu Nian'an did not appreciate it and even held a grudge against the Queen Mother. She even said many hurtful words to the Queen Mother.]

[The Queen Mother was so sad that she stopped caring about her and Li Jing.]

[Alas, good people have short lives! The Queen Mother is no exception. In such a huge palace, the Queen Mother is the best person, but she also died the most undignified death.]

[She was falsely accused of keeping a lover, and the emperor was furious. He did not listen to the queen mother's explanation at all, and ordered her to die with a cup of poisoned wine.]

[But that concubine was deliberately arranged by someone else. Who? What? The Queen?! ]

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone looked at Xu Zhimiao in amazement, and even the empress dowager looked at her in disbelief.

No, what did she hear?

Xu Zhimiao clearly didn't say anything, so why did she hear Xu Zhimiao's voice?

Also, what did she mean by that? What did she mean by, she died in an undignified way? She kept a lover? She was even poisoned to death by the emperor?

Was that lover arranged for her by the Queen?

Impossible, impossible! How could the Queen do such a thing to her? The Queen has always respected her the most and had a mother-daughter relationship with her.

How could he do such a thing to her?

At this moment, the Queen Mother's hand was holding Mu Nian'an's hand.

Mu Nian'an naturally felt her trembling.

Instinctively, a thought flashed through Mu Nian'an's mind: No way... the Queen Mother can also hear my sister-in-law's thoughts... right?

No, no, no!

This is not allowed! How could the Queen Mother hear it? How many people can hear my sister-in-law's voice?

What if the Queen Mother doesn’t believe it and thinks my sister-in-law is a monster?

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to call the imperial physician?" Mu Nian'an asked worriedly, looking at the pale-faced Empress Dowager.

"It's okay, I'm fine." The Queen Mother shook her head and took back her hand. "Maybe he's tired from the bumpy road. There's no need to alarm the doctor."

"Come here, little girl." The Queen Mother looked at Xu Zhimiao lovingly, "I'll take a good look at this little girl. How could she be so lucky as Shaochen?"

Xu Zhimiao looked confused, but he did not dare to go against the Queen Mother's wishes.

He took a step closer, but naturally did not dare to look the empress dowager in the eye.

He stood upright and respectfully, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen and his eyes lowered to look at his toes.

"Xiu Lan, you and Qi Qing are blessed." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

He Xiulan is Madam Mu's maiden name.

Now only the Queen Mother still calls her that, and she herself is almost forgetting her own name.

Her current address was either "Mrs. Mu", "Mother", or "Grandmother". It had been a long time since anyone had called her "Xiulan" so affectionately.

At this moment, hearing the Queen Mother calling her by her maiden name, the old lady felt extremely kind and warm.

It was just like when they were young, playing and laughing, occasionally even sleeping in the same room and saying sweet words to each other.

Later, the Queen Mother entered the palace and was crowned Queen, and she married the old marquis.

However, the friendship between the two has never changed. Although they no longer meet as frequently as they did in the boudoir, their friendship has never changed.

But compared to the Queen Mother, the old lady felt that she was much luckier.

It is said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. The Queen Mother is like that.

I was so happy when I was young, I wanted to spread my wings and fly high like a bird and live a free life.

But because of love, his wings were broken.

For love, she willingly trapped herself within this square wall.

She watched helplessly as the man she loved deeply took concubines into the palace one after another.

She had no choice but to accept it. She even had to smile and gracefully make him his concubine, and push the man she loved deeply into another woman's bed.

For many nights, the Queen Mother slept on the wet pillow, awake all night long.

I was sad, and still sad. But I couldn't show it on my face, I could only suppress the sadness in my heart.

If it weren't for her good friend, Madam Mu, who came to the palace many times to accompany her, persuade her and enlighten her, she would not have been able to hold on.

Compared to the empress dowager's countless sorrows, Madam Mu was much better.

The old marquis only had one concubine, who was the biological mother of the third master of the Mu family.

But, when it comes to being sad, being sad once or many times is actually the same.

Madam Mu should be thankful for the fact that the Third Master’s biological mother died early and died before she was out of the confinement period after giving birth to her son.

The third master of the Mu family was born out of wedlock, but he was brought up by the old lady.

He and Murjin were born on the same day.

From then on, the old marquis never took a concubine again.

"The Queen Mother is right. It is indeed a blessing for me to marry Miaomiao." The old lady and Xi said in unison, "It is also a blessing for our Mu family."

The Queen Mother took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xu Zhimiao's wrist, "Child, this is a gift from me, please don't reject it."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward." Xu Zhimiao quickly bowed and thanked her, "I like it very much."

"Madame Liu, go to the storehouse and pick out a few sets of fine head ornaments, as well as that piece of jade coral, and give them to Miaomiao." The empress dowager said to Madame Liu.

Aunt Liu quickly responded, "Yes."

"I thank the Queen Mother for the reward. I am overwhelmed." Xu Zhimiao looked at a loss.

"Child, don't be afraid. Just accept what I give you. Your grandmother and I have been sisters for decades. You are like my granddaughter-in-law." The queen mother said with a smile.

The old lady nodded, "Yes, Miaomiao, take the Queen Mother's reward without worry. The Queen Mother has given Nian'an a lot of rewards over the years. From now on, you and Nian'an should come to the palace more often to accompany the Queen Mother."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Queen Mother smiled and nodded repeatedly, "You and Nian'an come to the palace often to accompany me and chat. I will be very happy."

"Yes!" Xu Zhimiao and Mu Nian'an responded.

"Empress Dowager, the second prince is here." A maid came over and saluted respectfully to the Empress Dowager.

"Hurry, hurry, let Chen'er in." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly.

[It turns out that the new fiancé chosen by the Queen Mother for Nian An is actually the Second Prince! She asked Nian An to enter the palace today, it turned out to be a wedding banquet! ]

Xu Nian’an: “…”

No way? She and the second prince? Why is it so... terrifying?
