Queen Mother Shen was so shocked that she almost choked: "This, this... is really unexpected."
Mu Yunhan also suddenly realized that he had gone through such a long circle just to facilitate such a marriage.
The Meng family and the Lin family formed a family of sons and daughters, which seemed to form a community of interests, but correspondingly, it also aroused the emperor's fear.
But for Meng Xiang and others, there is nothing they can do.
The relationship between monarch and ministers is not that simple. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
The days are still long, let’s keep fighting.
Empress Dowager Shen frowned, but she couldn't express her thoughts in front of Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan realized what was going on and stood up to say goodbye.
Empress Dowager Shen did not stay with her for long, and only comforted her with gentle words: "When you have time, you might as well go to the palace more often."
Mu Yunhan thanked him and followed the palace attendants out.
He was intercepted halfway, and it was none other than Empress Zou's confidant Xifu.
Xifu limped with a very warm smile: "Madam, go slowly, the Queen has invited you."
Mu Yunhan said calmly: "How dare Auntie Labor come here in person?"
Xifu's injury was that she was punished by the emperor, saying that she did not learn well and encouraged Empress Zou to be unvirtuous.
It was Empress Zou who begged Empress Dowager Shen for mercy, and she managed to survive, only to receive a beating.
At this moment, in front of Mu Yunhan, Xifu did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, madam. I miss you."
Qin Qinren stepped forward to hold Mu Yunhan's arm, walked with her forward, and said many kind words.
Mu Yunhan did not refuse and always kept smiling.
While talking, we arrived at the middle palace.
Queen Zou unexpectedly came to the front of the steps and said affectionately: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and finally you are here."
Mu Yunhan quickly stopped her: "How dare you lower your rank to meet me in person? You are really killing your wife."
Queen Zou held her hand tightly and sighed: "These days, I always think of how well you treated me in the past. The more I think about it, the more rare it becomes..."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and filled with tears.
Mu Yunhan also held her hand emotionally: "Your Majesty and your Majesty treat us well, that's what we should do. Isn't there a bond of friendship between people?"
Empress Zou shed tears and said: "I don't want to treat you badly, but as a queen, I can't help myself. Anyone who gets close to me will be jealous and criticized, so..."
Mu Yunhan had seen through her a long time ago, but did not point it out. He sighed: "I know that your Majesty is doing it for our own good, but it is all those villains who are causing trouble."
The two held hands and walked inside.
Queen Zou said: "It's getting late. If you don't mind it, why don't you stay here to have a meal? I'll order someone to report to your majesty and invite your majesty and the priest to come and have a gathering together. What do you think?"
Mu Yunhan said in his heart, it turns out that the real purpose is here.
But she thought that since the emperor dealt with it in this way, he must also want to reconcile with the middle palace.
It's better to just go with the flow and everyone will be better off.
So he smiled and said: "That's good, but I don't dare to bother my wife."
Seeing her cooperation, Queen Zou smiled brightly: "Don't bother, that's how it should be."
She immediately sent someone to the imperial study to invite the emperor. She and Mu Yunhan talked about parenting, talking about how cute the emperor's eldest son was and how she missed her child.
Mu Yunhan praised the emperor's eldest son vigorously, but never mentioned that he wanted to intercede with the emperor.
Empress Zou also knew not to push her too far and continued to smile lightly.
