Chapter 139 I have always wanted to say something to the Queen Mother
"So that's why..."
Mrs. Su suddenly realized that she was an extremely gentle person, and she spoke in a low voice, as if just a little louder would disturb her.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked Su Jingwen.
"nature."
"Okay." Mrs. Su sighed.
As she spoke, she stood up from behind the piano, opened the bead curtain and sat next to the table, slowly pouring herself a cup of flower and fruit tea.
"You are such an old man now. You are going to get married and have children soon. There are some things I can talk to you about."
"Jing Wen, actually, my parents have never asked you to marry a girl of any importance. For our family, the lower the family status, the better." Mrs. Su said.
"Why?" Su Jingwen was shocked and took a few steps into the house.
Mrs. Su moistened her lips with tea and continued: "Look at our family, your grandfather, your maternal grandfather, and your father, which one is not in a high position?
Can you find another aristocratic family like the Su family in Manjinling?
Wealth has reached its peak, and when it is full, it is time to overflow.
Think about it, if you find a woman from a big family, who holds real power and is connected with powerful people, can such a behemoth not arouse His Majesty's suspicion?
When we live like this, we can’t use up all the money, so what’s the point of pursuing that false reputation?”
What Mrs. Su said was completely beyond Su Jingwen's expectations.
"But I have only heard that they are well-matched, but I have never heard that the lower the family background, the better." He sat opposite Mrs. Su.
"Miss Mu's family background is not low. She is from a famous family and is the younger sister of the current Queen Mother.
Her father died early and has no influence in the court. The Queen Mother is just a false name and has no real power.
But it sounds nice to say.
By marrying Miss Mu, our family will have more respect, isn't it just right?"
After saying this, Mrs. Su glanced at Su Jingwen again.
In the blink of an eye, her son has grown so big. Although his brain is not particularly good, his appearance is good, and Mrs. Su is completely satisfied.
She said: "Actually, Mom has never been that ambitious. It's enough to watch you grow up, be healthy, and have our family live in harmony."
Mom understands that going too far is never enough.
If you look at the Zhong family, then look at the Zhenguo Princess Mansion, isn't it because the ambition is too great? It must be luxuriant and strong, but in the end, there is nothing left?
Therefore, your father retired bravely a few years ago, no longer obsessed with government affairs, and became an idle second-grade scholar.
So when you were little, you had no intention of studying, and your mother never criticized you too much.
Mom never asks you to be more motivated, work harder, and get ahead, as long as you are happy.
It’s just that the outsiders said something bad, so they sent you to the palace to be a guard for two days. Who would have thought that you would unexpectedly run to the border to join the army?”
Fortunately, fortunately, news came from the border that her son had not killed a single enemy on the battlefield, and his legs were weak as soon as he entered the battlefield.
As expected, he was indeed her son and lived up to her expectations at all.
After listening for a long time, Su Jingwen finally understood.
"Mom, are you going to piss me off and turn me into a waste?"
Mrs. Su frowned: "Why do you say it so harshly? This is called freedom and ease."
"Isn't that still trash?"
"Okay, it's not over now. I'll hire the best gentleman for you tomorrow. You'll have your hair cut off and your buttocks spiked. You'll go take the merit examination tomorrow.
Mom won’t stop you.”
"Forehead……"
Su Jingwen opened his mouth, then licked his lips: "Um...mother, you'd better treat me like a waste."

On the other side, Mu Qingchao and Shen Muchi returned to the palace.
Shen Muchi was so considerate. It wasn't finished even after he was taken back to the palace. He must have been taken to Chaoyun Palace and he still refused to leave.
Mu Qingchao reminded him tactfully: "Your Majesty, it's getting late."
Shen Muchi: "Huh? Ah? Really..."
His face looked very preoccupied, as if he was about to speak but hesitated.
Mu Qingchao saw that he still didn't understand what he meant by expelling guests, so he might as well speak more plainly.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the daughter of the people to rest..."
"That... Queen Mother..."
Shen Mu hesitated for a long time and finally spoke: "Actually, I have always wanted to say something to you, but I have always..."
"Your Majesty!" Mu Qingchao hurriedly interrupted Shen Muchi.
"It's really getting late. Is there anything we can talk about another day? The girl is really drunk today and wants to go to bed early."
In one word, he was blocked back.
She saw a bit of sadness in Shen Muchi's eyes.
"Then...okay..." he said.
"You should rest first and I'll come back another day."
After he finished saying this, he turned around and walked in the other direction.
When Mu Qingchao saw him leaving, he hurried back to the inner room, as if he was afraid that he would come back, and closed the palace door tightly with a bang.
She leaned against the door and let out a breath.
My heart was beating "dong dong...", I was really scared to death.
In fact, she never dared to believe that Shen Muchi would have any feelings for her. After all, firstly, her status was inappropriate, and secondly, she had been clearly rejected when she expressed her feelings to Shen Muchi.
But Rong Guifei said that Shen Muchi treated her differently than ordinary people, and Jiang Bo was jealous because of Shen Muchi. Coupled with his hesitant expression just now, no matter how slow she was, she should have guessed.
It's really hard to guess the emperor's thoughts.
Mu Qingchao thought as he sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
But whether it was because she was drunk or because she was afraid, her hands were shaking.
Shen Muchi didn't say what he said today, but he didn't necessarily give up so easily.
What should we do then?
Haha, it’s really funny to say that what she wanted in her dreams before, but now she doesn’t want it, has to be forced upon her.
After drinking a whole cup of tea, Mu Qingchao finally calmed down a little.
Forget it, forget it, when the time comes the soldiers will cover up the water and earth.
Right now, there is one more thing that is important.
The next day, Mu Qingchao dismissed the two faces.
The two men entered the Chaoyun Palace on their own. From the initial resentment, they gradually accepted it. After all, not everyone can have a life of good food and drink without having to worry about pleasing their master.
So I settled in peacefully.
After a few months, I gained a lot of weight visibly to the naked eye.
When they heard that Mu Qingchao was going to send them away, they were so reluctant to give up that one of them hugged one of Mu Qingchao's legs.
"Queen Mother, did I do something wrong?"
"Queen Mother, please don't drive the slave away. The slave is yours in life and your ghost in death. If you don't want to be a slave anymore, the slave will not survive."
Mu Qingchao looked at the two faces that looked like steamed buns, showing off their tender expressions, and couldn't help but twitch his brows.
"I didn't expect you to have such deep affection for the Ai family." Mu Qingchao looked touched.
"I just thought that it's not worth wasting your great youth on a widow like the Ai family, so I plan to give each of you one thousand taels of silver so that you can live your own lives.
Since you are determined not to leave, then okay, from now on the three of us will depend on each other and guard Chaoyun Palace for the rest of our lives..."
