Liu Tianshu walked into the Cining Palace under the scorching sun. Before she had time to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she was told by a little palace maid that the empress dowager had not slept well the night before and was taking a nap in the palace. She was asked to wait in a side hall.

In her previous life, Liu Tianshu had frequent contact with the empress dowager and was once left out in a side hall by her.

But that was three years later, and the empress dowager was anxious to have a great-grandson, but there was no movement in her belly.

Liu Tianshu had no one to tell the truth about the fact that she remained a virgin until her death in her previous life. Even if she told the Queen Mother, she would only think that she was not gentle and pretty enough. Otherwise, why would Gu Jinyun never enter her room?

Guessing that the empress dowager was trying to intimidate her because of what happened yesterday, Liu Tianshu pretended to know nothing and followed the little maid into the side hall, where she found a random seat to sit down.

Soon a maid brought tea and snacks.

Liu Tianshu took a sip of tea from the teacup to moisten her throat, then put the cup down and sat there waiting.

Thanks to the Queen Mother who used this trick to embarrass her many times in her previous life, which helped her develop a good temper and elegant sitting posture.

The Queen Mother sat in her bedroom, sipping the tea in her cup gracefully.

"Madame Rong, half an hour has passed, and that girl is still sitting there in such a serious manner?"

"Yes!"

The four beautiful maids grew up with the Queen Mother. They never married in their lives and have always lived with the Queen Mother in the palace.

"That girl is a good one. Let's go and meet that girl together."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she put down the teacup in her hand and walked to the side hall with the help of Madam Rong.

"The Queen Mother has arrived..."

Following the young eunuch's singing, the empress dowager walked into the side hall supported by Madam Rong.

As the empress dowager walked into the side hall, Liu Tianshu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed gracefully.

"Your servant Gu Liu pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Her Majesty the Queen Mother, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years..."

"No need to be so polite..."

The Queen Mother walked to the main seat with the help of Madam Rong and sat down, then she spoke in a calm voice.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Liu Tianshu stood up and stood where she was.

"Gu Liu, is your Marquis doing well recently?"

Liu Tianshu bowed respectfully.

"The Marquis has good food and accommodation, and there is nothing wrong with his health. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

"We are a family after all, no need to be polite, please sit down..."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After expressing her gratitude, Liu Tianshu sat half sideways on the chair and looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.

Liu Tianshu had been left alone for more than half an hour. Seeing that she was still neither humble nor arrogant and had a calm attitude, the empress dowager was extremely satisfied with her nephew's grandson's wife and stopped making things difficult for her.

"I heard that your third sister had some unpleasant experiences in the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago?"

I knew that what happened in the Marquis’ Mansion could not be hidden from the Empress Dowager.

Liu Tianshu nodded slightly.

"The third sister is young and ignorant. She is engaged and yet she has feelings for the Marquis..."

Having said that, Liu Tianshu seemed to find it difficult to speak and did not continue.

"What are your plans for this matter?" The Queen Mother asked directly without waiting for Liu Tianshu's next words.

"This is not something I can decide."

Liu Tianshu sighed again, and before the Queen Mother got angry, she said leisurely: "I married into the Marquis' Mansion alone. Even though the Marquis treats me well, it is not my home after all. If I had a trustworthy sister to live with me, I would be happy."

Liu Tianshu's answer was beyond the Queen Mother's expectations. She was more satisfied with her and couldn't help regretting leaving her alone for half an hour.

"What woman in the world doesn't want her husband to love her alone? Are you really willing to let the Marquis marry someone else?"

"Your Majesty, I have been educated as a woman since I was young, so I understand the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Besides, what man in this world doesn't take concubines?"

Having said that, Liu Tianshu looked at the Queen Mother shyly.

"I'm going to say something that the Queen Mother may not like. Although the salary of the Marquis's Mansion is high, they are not on the same page as the Marquis.

My Lord and I always feel isolated and helpless in the mansion. If you can marry a few more concubines and have more children, so that our family can be lively and happy, I won't be afraid of being alone. "

The Queen Mother had lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she naturally saw that Liu Tianshu was speaking from the heart, and she was even more satisfied with her.

"You are a good person. You must be tired after going to the palace. Go back and rest first..."

"Being able to come to the palace to see the Queen Mother is a blessing many people cannot wait for. I am so happy that I can't wait."

After saying that, he picked up the food box at his feet and handed it to Madam Rong.

"These are some snacks made by our family's cook. Your Majesty, please have a taste."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu bowed to the empress dowager and then bowed to her again.

"I am still in mourning, so I cannot disturb the Queen Mother. I will take my leave first..."

After saying this, Liu Tianshu saluted the Queen Mother gracefully and walked backwards out of the side hall...
