Concubine Han had been waiting for half an hour. The Queen Mother summoned her, but when she arrived, she was told that the Queen Mother had fallen asleep and asked her to wait.
Just standing like this, not even salivating, she knew in her heart that the Queen Mother was unhappy and was taking out her anger on her.
She didn't dare to speak, so she stood silently like this. After another half a stick of incense, the nun inside finally sent word that the Queen Mother was awake and she was allowed to go in.
Rubbing her aching legs, she knew that the test had just begun.
When she entered, the Queen Mother was leaning on a floral cushion and tasting snow pear soup. When she saw her coming in, she didn't even raise her eyelids, she was taking her time.
"Han'er has met my aunt." She stepped forward and saluted, but her words were very well-behaved.
The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this, "You know that the Ai family is your aunt? The Ai family thinks that now you only have eyes for the emperor and no Ai family!"
"Aunt, please don't be angry, how dare Han'er! If it weren't for aunt's support, Han'er wouldn't be standing here today!" Concubine Han said softly.
Hearing that she was thinking about old things and being obedient, the Queen Mother's anger finally subsided a little, and she said "Yeah", "If you really think so, that would be the best!"
Concubine Han lowered her head and remained silent, knowing that today was a lecture, so she didn't say much and just listened.
"The Aijia asked you, is the Sixteenth Prince always by your side?" The Queen Mother looked at her and asked calmly.
After being startled, she nodded and said, "Yes!"
"But you teach it yourself?" the Queen Mother asked next.
She didn't understand what it meant. Does calling her here today have anything to do with Sixteen?
But there was no time to think too much, and he nodded and said, "Yes! Did Sixteenth get into some trouble? Sixteenth is still young, so the Queen Mother doesn't want..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother.
Raising her hand, the Queen Mother signaled the people around her to leave. She sat up straight and looked at her and said, "Suhan, the Ai family is most optimistic about you among the clan. They specially took you into the palace and appointed you to do this."
Concubine Han. The Emperor Ye has nothing to do, so the Ai family personally selected these sixteen and gave them to you. It has been a few years now, but why are you so unsatisfactory?!"
"Aunt, Han'er is scared!" She was scolded for no reason. In fact, Concubine Han still didn't know why, so she could only admit her mistake.
"Although Sixteen is adopted to you, you still have to be careful and make him listen to you in everything. The child is getting older and has his own opinions. Will he still be able to let you do it in the future?!"
She said sincerely, "Suhan, aunt is doing this for your own good. These are all paving the way for your future. Even if aunt continues to enjoy all this glory and wealth, how many years will it take? You still have a long life, and the prosperity of our family will not last long.
It’s up to you to continue!”
After the reprimand was completed, the family card began to be played.
Concubine Han finally understood something, "Queen Mother, did Shiliu rush into you?"
"It's just a collision, how can he be so obsessed with the vixen like the emperor? For the sake of a fox, even my grandma dared to contradict me. Isn't this a joke?!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
By the way, if this kid hadn't caused trouble inside, we would have gotten rid of that annoying fox early on.
Concubine Han knew little about that matter. She didn't know the details. She only knew a general idea, but she didn't know that Shiliu was also involved.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, Han'er kowtows to you on behalf of Shiliu to apologize. Shiliu is still young, so please spare him this time!"
As he said that, he banged his head and kowtowed!
The Queen Mother sighed faintly, "Get up. The Aijia has called you here not to punish you, but to remind you that you can't stand the man anymore. If you can't stand the child anymore, what will you do in the future?"
Concubine Han's face instantly turned red, and her complexion became a little ugly. She bit her lip and said, "Han'er, please remember the Queen Mother's teachings!"
After giving her a deep look, the Queen Mother softened her expression and waved, "Suhan, come here and let the Ai family have a good look!"
Concubine Han stood up and walked over. The Queen Mother pulled her and sat down beside the soft couch.
Lifting her chin, the Queen Mother stared at her deeply. Her oval face was extremely pretty, and her watery eyes looked at her like a pool of spring water. I felt pity for her face.
She sighed, "You are such a beautiful woman, why can't you attract a man's heart?"
Concubine Han looked very embarrassed and said, "Aunt, it's Han'er who is useless!"
"It's not that you're useless, it's that you don't care, right?" She let go of her hand and went to get the tea cup, "The Ai family knows, are you still thinking about someone else in your heart?"
Hearing this, Concubine Han immediately became frightened, "Queen Mother... Han'er will never..."
"Okay, okay, there's no one else here, so there's no need to be so anxious." The Queen Mother waved her hand and took a sip of tea to moisten her lips. "In your heart, are you still complaining that your family is beating up mandarin ducks?"
Shaking her head slightly, Concubine Han lowered her head, "Han'er doesn't blame anyone, everything is fate. Some things are destined to be fateful. Besides, the Queen Mother is also doing it for Han'er's good!"
This sentence finally satisfied the Queen Mother. She patted her hand and said, "If you think so, that would be great! You are right. These are all fates. It was fate for the Ai family to enter the palace back then. You
Now, it is also fate! The destiny of our Helan family depends on our continuation. You should be proud to be able to undertake this kind of mission!"
"Han'er is very honored, but I'm just afraid that I can't bear it and will not be as good as my aunt!" Concubine Han said softly.
The Queen Mother looked at her and smiled slightly, "Silly child, why are you so presumptuous? Do you think that the Ai family can do everything from the beginning? They didn't come through it step by step. You will learn it step by step slowly, and then, when you arrive,
At this age, Ai Jia understands everything!"
Looking at the Queen Mother, there was a complex luster in her eyes, and a face with a calm smile. She was not angry or intimidating, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not hide the traces of time after all. Is this the price of growth?
"Han'er will definitely study hard!" she said in a low voice.
The Queen Mother nodded, raised her hand, and patted her shoulder gently, "Suhan, you are much better now than Aijia was in the past. When Aijia entered the palace, it was not as smooth as you are now. You are completely alone.
Your road has been paved by the Aijia for you. Whether you can walk it well or not depends on you!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Concubine Han responded.
"Remember what you said!" In the end, you still did not forget to warn, "Any personal relationship between children will be worthless if you look at it decades later. The most important thing is to take control of your own destiny!
"
Seeing that Concubine Han just lowered her head and remained silent, she sighed and waved her hand, "Okay, I'm tired of the Ai family, so please step back! Take good care of the Sixteenth Prince and don't let him run around anymore!"
