The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Concubine Shu's words and said with a smile: "My royal daughter naturally has no worries about getting married. By the way, General Song's wife is here?" The Queen Mother glanced at the people in the palace.
When she mentioned Fang'er, she thought of Mrs. Song, because Mrs. Song was Fang'er's savior.
"My wife is here." Lin Qingxue stood up excitedly, walked to the hall and knelt down.
Shen Wan looked at Lin Qingxue, who was already kneeling down. Her butt had left the chair, and she could neither stand nor sit.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, looked at the woman kneeling in the hall, and frowned: "Mrs. Song already has a pair of children, why are you still so young?"
Eh? Lin Qingxue was stunned. The Queen Mother was asking about Shen Wan, not her.
Princess Ren covered her lips and smiled and said: "I made a mistake. This is the person who was given the marriage by the emperor, not General Song's first wife Shen."
Everyone in the palace looked at Lin Qingxue who was kneeling in the palace and smiled softly. This Lin didn't even know who the Queen Mother was asking, so she ran out in such a hurry.
"Oh," the Queen Mother nodded and asked, "Is Mrs. Shen here?"
Shen Wan stood up, walked to the hall, bent her knees and was about to kneel down.
"My wife, Mrs. Shen, pays homage to the Queen Mother..."
"Forgive me!" The Queen Mother raised her hand to stop her from kneeling any further.
Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, then blessed the Queen Mother, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Qingxue and said: "Ms. Lin, you are also exempt from the courtesy. Go back and sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Lin Qingxue blushed and thanked her. She walked back to her seat with her head lowered and sat down. Although she lowered her head, she could still feel the mocking glances. She wished she could She found a hole in the ground and crawled in. For the first time, she made a joke in front of so many people.
The Queen Mother smiled and looked Shen Wan up and down. She thought that this Shen was much more beautiful, younger and more elegant than when she first saw her.
She was dressed dignified and elegant, and she looked very calm, much better than the reckless Lin just now.
"The fire bed you proposed is very useful. I have never felt colder at night this winter."
Ever since Shen proposed the fire kang and thought of an avalanche in Beijun, she had always wanted to meet Shen.
Shen Wan said softly: "The Queen Mother finds it useful. It is my honor."
Marquis Wu'an said: "We also have a fire bed in the Marquis' mansion, so it will be warm when we sleep at night."
"Our family is also in trouble!"
"Mrs. Song is such a wonderful person that she thought of this fire kang. I heard that after the people in Beijun installed the fire kang, no one froze to death again."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I just saw it in some miscellaneous books."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you on behalf of the people of Beijun." The Queen Mother looked at Shen Wan and said, "If you hadn't thought of the avalanche, the casualties in Beijun would have been even greater."
Shen Wan lowered her eyes and looked at the tip of her nose and said, "This is what the people of Dongchen should do."
Regarding her answer, the Queen Mother nodded with great satisfaction.
"Come here, bring me the South China Sea Night Pearl." The Queen Mother said to the palace people.
An older nun took the order and left the main hall.
Everyone looked at Shen Wan in surprise and envy. The Empress Dowager ordered the Nanhai Night Pearl to be given to Shen. The Night Pearl was a treasure worth tens of thousands of gold, and there were probably no more than five in the entire Dongchen Kingdom.
Even the fourth concubine couldn't help but take a second look at Shen Wan. As the emperor's concubines, none of them owned a luminous pearl! The Queen Mother was really generous to her.
"Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to reward the Shen family with the Night Pearl?" Concubine Xian asked, looking at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian lightly and gave her a look like "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Concubine Xian said: "This night pearl is too precious."
"If it weren't for the precious luminous pearl, how could I have given it to Shen?" What she meant was that only the precious luminous pearl was worthy of being awarded to Shen.
Concubine Xian closed her mouth unhappily. In her opinion, even if Shen had merit, she was not worthy of the Night Pearl. As the emperor's concubine, she could not even own a Night Pearl. She was a country girl. How can a despicable person deserve to have a luminous pearl?
Lin Qingxue was going crazy with jealousy at the moment, but she could also see that this wise concubine obviously didn't like Shen Wan.
