The Queen Mother stared at her for a moment. This beautiful and lonely girl was the queen she selected from thousands of people back then, and was the most important chess piece on her way to monopolizing imperial power.
Mrs. Pei quickly knelt down and said -
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being young and reckless. You must not let her do this. If the King of the North Court finds out, I'm afraid it will be said that it was the Queen Mother's instigation. This will be a failure."
Mrs. Pei secretly pinched her daughter's wrist.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "What the old lady said is not unreasonable. The Queen cannot do this. The Ai family should choose someone else."
"The Queen Mother is wise!"
Mrs. Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the Queen Mother's place, Mrs. Pei accompanied Queen Pei back to the palace. When she entered the palace, the old woman dismissed a group of minions, closed the door herself, and said to Queen Pei, who was still looking lost -
"Are you stupid? You just hit the edge of the knife! You are the queen, you must always protect yourself wisely. This is what your father taught you, and you have forgotten it?"
Queen Pei sat down on the chair and said unwillingly, "I hate that witch, I wish I could kill her myself!"
Mrs. Pei's face darkened and she asked, "After all these years, do you still have that man in your heart? You are really...what do you want me to say about you? He humiliated your father and killed your sister because of that witch. You actually...
...You are still thinking about her! What should I say to you!"
Mrs. Pei sighed and shook her head repeatedly.
Both daughters fell into the hands of the same man. Did the Pei family do something to offend Murong Canghai in their previous life, but they are doing it again in this life.
"My beloved concubine." At this moment, the little emperor came in accompanied by the eunuchs and maids. As soon as he entered, he went straight to Queen Pei, sat on her and said, "My beloved concubine, I am thirsty.
"
"Greetings to the Emperor." Mrs. Pei knelt down.
"So you're here too, get up quickly." The little emperor said politely when he saw the old woman.
When Mrs. Pei saw that the emperor had returned, she retreated. Before leaving, she gave Queen Pei a deep look. This look was a warning and she was not allowed to act recklessly.

Queen Pei looked at the child in front of her who had not yet shed her childishness, and suddenly had a plan in mind, and said, "Okay, I have already cooked sour plum soup for the emperor to quench his thirst. Winter plum -"
"Yes." Here, the palace maid named Wintersweet brought the prepared sour plum soup. When the little emperor saw it, he picked it up and drank it.
"Has your Majesty ever heard that the King of the North Courtyard is getting married?" Queen Pei lovingly took the bayberry water from the corner of the little emperor's mouth and asked.
The little emperor nodded, "I know, the emperor's uncle has just come to the imperial study to tell me that it's time for the emperor's uncle to get married. I'm happy to see it happen."
A hint of cunning flashed through Queen Pei's eyes, and she asked, "Then should we send a congratulatory gift?"
The little emperor nodded, "What my beloved concubine said is right. The emperor has done his best for the Qin Dynasty. I should give him a big gift to express my gratitude."
Queen Pei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have already thought about it. Su Yueming is a Zhou Dynasty woman. It is not good for her to be without her parents on the stage when she gets married. She doesn't even have the wedding clothes that her parents will prepare. How about the emperor's edict?
How about making a wedding dress for the new princess at Silk Store?"
After hearing this, the little emperor nodded repeatedly and said, "My beloved concubine is really considerate and thoughtful. Then I will order the new princess to enter the palace tomorrow and let the people from the Silk Clothes Store be fully responsible for this matter."
