Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

Shen Meimei was crying when she suddenly felt something was wrong. She raised her head and looked around, and found that everyone around her was in tears.

Some of them sobbed with their heads down, some covered their faces and cried bitterly, and some even started wailing loudly. The cries were deafening, as if the whole world was drowned by their sadness.

Shen Meimei was stunned. Why were these people crying even more miserably than her?

Even crying is so unrestrained? Fortunately, An Lingrong is still under house arrest, because she is the unrestrained queen of the harem.

Shen Meimei shook her head helplessly, thinking that this world was really strange, even crying had to be so awkward!

It seemed as if everyone was competing to see who could cry the most sadly, each one was louder than the other, it was really laughable.

Shen Meimei didn't get enough rest these days and didn't eat much. She had just given birth to a child and her body had not yet fully recovered. After all this ordeal, her body couldn't bear it and she actually fainted.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor heard that Shen Meimei was so sad that she had fainted.

He was worried, so he went over and picked up Shen Meimei and carried her back to the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor was impressed by how filial Shen Meimei was to the empress dowager, and he felt touched and respectful towards her.

After a long time, Shen Meimei woke up. She felt like she had had a very long dream. She looked up at the emperor with red and swollen eyes, and said weakly:

"Your Majesty, I have to go to the Queen Mother's funeral, why am I here?"

Shen Meimei struggled to get up as she spoke. She was not being hypocritical, but was worried that she would not be able to complete the system task she had received in front of the Queen Mother's coffin.

The emperor looked doting, like a caring uncle, and said softly:

"Mei'er, don't go anywhere, just stay here with me! The Royal Mother passed away, and I no longer have a mother!"

Although the emperor was already fifty years old, he cried like a child. In front of his mother, no matter how old a child is, he is still just a child.

Shen Meimei was shocked. She had never thought that a king could have such a fragile side.

She remembered that her history teacher had once told her the story of Emperor Yongzheng, who longed for maternal love all his life. Although his adoptive mother was very kind to him, children are naturally sensitive and were afraid that they would not do well and be disliked by his adoptive mother.

Yongzheng was sensible since childhood, worked diligently, fulfilled his duties, and was mature beyond his years, but the only thing he lacked was the motherly love of his biological mother, Concubine De.

What people pursue is often what they lack the most.

The emperor shed tears silently, and Shen Meimei hugged the emperor in return. She carried the tears of a generation of kings on her thin shoulders.

"Dew on the leek, how can it change to dawn? The dew and dawn will fall again tomorrow, and when will the dead return?

Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has passed away. The court and the harem are counting on you! You must take care of yourself and not be too sad!"

Shen Meimei tried her best to persuade the emperor.

The sky gradually darkened, and a sad atmosphere shrouded the Forbidden City.

The emperor was also tired of crying. He slowly stood up, took Shen Meimei and walked to the corridor, listening to the sound of the rain.

The crying in the Shouhuang Palace gradually stopped, and the Forbidden City seemed to be quiet except for the sound of rain.

Shen Meimei didn't say anything. She knew that silence was better than words at this moment. She just needed to accompany the child who had lost his mother.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor asked Su Peisheng to arrange a sedan chair to send Shen Meimei back, and then instructed:

"Mei'er, go back to Suiyuxuan and rest for a few more days. Leave the matters of the next few days to Concubine Xi and Concubine Jing. You just gave birth, so don't be too sad!"

The emperor's words were so sincere that Shen Meimei was deeply moved. It was like a child who fell into the water and was given a lifebuoy by someone.

She nodded slightly and replied:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please take care of yourself. I will take my leave now!"
