Hearing this, Su Yun only felt her brows furrowed, "It sounds like this is his own choice. My husband and I both feel that he seems to be hostile to my mother. He even..."

Su Yun couldn't bear to continue.

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Even if Sheng'er inherits the throne in the future, you are not allowed to make me the queen mother?"

She nodded. She really didn’t understand. In her mother’s description, she was clearly the one who was dragged in to make up the numbers. Why could she hate him so much?

The helpless laughter passed by like the wind.

Concubine Duan said: "Back then, the emperor was so dazzling, just like his voice is so outstanding now. Many girls liked him, including me."

"On the night of the wedding, he told me clearly that he knew that A-Mei and I had a good relationship, so he wanted me to agree to take A-Mei as his concubine."

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "I asked him if he had asked A Mei, whether she was willing to be a concubine. How could a girl as strong-willed as A Mei be willing to be a concubine? I have been friends with her for many years, how could I not know her personality?"

"I just said one thing in reply, and the Emperor said I was jealous of her."

"Not long after I became the princess, we met. After we met, she cried and told me that she was also going to marry the Prince of Pingxi..."

When mentioning the King of Pingxi, Concubine Duan showed a hint of amusement on her graceful face, "She told me that the King of Pingxi likes me."

what?

Su Yun just felt dizzy and confused because of this complicated relationship. The King of Pingxi liked my mother, and the Emperor liked the King of Pingxi's wife.

"How ironic."

"We hugged each other and cried for a while. It happened that the Prince of Pingxi came to pick up A-Mei, and the Emperor also rushed over to see A-Mei."

"After that, A Mei only wrote one last letter to the emperor, asking him to treat her best friend well. The emperor was unwilling to give up and told her not to marry the Prince of Pingxi, and he would give her the title of empress."

"The queen position, then where does that put me, the principal wife?"

"He just thinks that it's because of what I said to A-Mei that A-Mei decided to get married so quickly."

Su Yun took a breath, "So father has always misunderstood you, thinking that she hurriedly married herself because of you."

"may be."

"The Emperor is passionate, but also heartless. Over the years, he seemed to want to show his determination to A-Mei by making everyone think that he only favors me, except for a few concubines he had to marry. But only I know that he hates me, because he thinks that the last time A-Mei and I met, I cried and begged A-Mei to marry..."

As she spoke, Concubine Duan's tears rolled down.

To this day, she no longer has any love for the emperor, only hatred!

She hated herself for being forced to be assigned to the emperor because of her family background. She hated him for causing her grandfather to suffer in his later years. She hated him for causing her father to resign from office and live in seclusion.

It was he who made Sheng'er have no support from her family.

I hate him for making me depressed for half my life.

"Mother..." Su Yun handed over her handkerchief. Concubine Duan took it with a smile, wiped the tears from her eyes, and continued, "It doesn't matter whether I am the queen mother or not, whether I am favored or not. I just want Sheng'er to inherit the throne smoothly. I can tolerate all these."

"But last night... I heard that after that girl entered the palace, the emperor doted on her all night and asked for water three times."

"Is she the adopted daughter of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion?"

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "What adopted daughter? It's obvious that he deliberately found such a person to disgust me."

Cough cough cough...

Concubine Duan coughed for a while, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief. After a long time, she took it away and said to Su Yun with a tired look, "Do you want to know anything else?"

"I can't think of it for now."

"It's nothing, it's just the emperor's self-righteous hatred, self-righteous deep love, a lifetime of deep love..."

Su Yun opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Outside, Nanny Gui said that the Crown Prince had arrived.

Su Yun hurriedly stood up, but was stopped by Concubine Duan. She took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Su Yun, "Take this, and when the time comes," she paused, not knowing what she was thinking, "give it to the Princess of Pingxi if there is a chance."

"Mother..." I can give it to the Princess of Pingxi.

But think about it, the emperor hated his mother so much after they met once, who knows what the situation would be like if they met again?

Before Su Yun could think about it, Concubine Duan had already stuffed the sachet into Su Yun's hand.

Xiao Lusheng walked in and saw Su Yun and Concubine Duan being on good terms with each other. He stepped forward to greet them and felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit stuffy.

Nanny Gui said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess finally came today. Shall we serve the meal now?"

Concubine Duan nodded.

She glanced at Su Yun's handkerchief, which she was holding tightly in her hand, and said with a smile, "Go and serve the meal quickly."

"Yes."

Today, Imperial Concubine Duan had the meal placed on the small round table. She did not allow the servants to serve the food, but instead dismissed the palace maids and the family of three had their meal.

"Sheng'er, I remember you liked to look for taro when you were a child." She picked up some food for Xiao Lusheng, and picked up all the food that Xiao Lusheng liked.

Xiao Lusheng was moved and remembered the sweet soup that his mother loved to eat, so he personally added a bowl for his mother and Su Yun.

Concubine Duan took a sip, her expression showing satisfaction and a bit of the innocence of a young girl.

Xiao Lusheng gave her another bowl, and Concubine Duan drank it all. "I haven't eaten so happily in a long time."

"Don't restrain me, mother. You can eat whatever you want." Seeing his mother sad, Xiao Lusheng didn't know how to comfort her.

When he attended court today, he also learned the news that Juan Ling had entered the palace last night.

I guess my mother is sad because of this matter.

I want to comfort you, but I don’t know how.

Concubine Duan laughed heartily and poured some wine, insisting on asking Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun to drink with her. The couple had no choice but to do as Concubine Duan wished.

Downed a few glasses of wine.

Concubine Duan sat next to Xiao Lusheng, holding his hand, stroking his face, smiling a little silly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sheng'er... my good son."

"Mother, you, you are drunk."

Although they are mother and son, such intimacy is still somewhat inappropriate.

Xiao Lusheng felt a little embarrassed, especially since Yun'er was beside him.

Concubine Duan smiled, stood up, walked between the couple, and held their hands together. "In my life, I have never met a good man, but I can see that Sheng'er likes you. Do you like my Sheng'er?"

She stared at Su Yun and asked.

At the beginning, Su Yun was married into the Huainan Palace, so she must have some resentment in her heart.

Concubine Duan apologized and said, "It was all because of my own willfulness at the beginning. I thought that marrying the most beautiful and talented woman in the world would heal Sheng'er's wounds. By chance, you married Sheng'er and helped him stand up again."

"Thank you, Su Yun."
