As for how they persuaded the Queen Mother, there was no need for persuasion at all. It would have been nice if the Queen Mother could just stay by Ce Yan's side.
The Queen Mother had long seen that since Shen Jiu disappeared, the emperor's every move was approaching death.
She was the one who raised her son like this. She was too old-fashioned and strong. As a result, the child instinctively distanced himself from women step by step.
"Tell me, what is the Queen Mother thinking about?" The two of them took a walk and passed by the back garden, and happened to meet the Queen Mother who was deep in thought in the pavilion.
Shen Jieyi pushed Qiang Ceyan gently, "No matter what she is thinking, just follow her when you step forward."
Seeing that the empress was about to leave, the emperor was reluctant to leave, "What about you, where are you going in a hurry and won't accompany me?"
The Queen Mother probably didn't want to see her. Shen Jun pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I'll go back to the palace and wait for you."
"Ah...Okay." Qiang Ceyan quietly let go of Shen Zui's hand.
At this time, the Queen Mother, who was in the pavilion, called out: "Why do you come to the Ai family and whisper to each other?"
Shen Jun paused before leaving and turned around to salute. Qiang Ce said "Mother", but Shen Jun didn't know how to address her, so he had to keep saluting.
"Why, the empress didn't intend to call the Ai family. She was so spoiled by the emperor that she didn't understand the rules." The empress dowager had been waiting for Shen Jue to speak.
Shen Jiu bowed lower and said, "I have met the Queen Mother, I..."
His status is very embarrassing, he is no longer the Prime Minister, and he doesn't know if the Queen Mother allows him to call her...
"It's so difficult to call her "mother". The Ai family has never done anything wrong to you, right?" The queen mother had a cold expression on her face, and she had already made it clear that if Shen Jiui didn't call her again, her face would be lost. .
Shen Jiu couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said softly: "Mother."
Qiang Ceyan, who has always been between the two, is the one who is the calmest.
"Then get up. Why do the emperor and empress have to face the Ai family with the courtesy of ministers? From now on, just like the emperor, just say motherly." The empress dowager's crow's feet began to deepen because of her smile.
The smile in the drunken eyes also climbed up to the top of his eyebrows, "I know."
They then also talked about the daily life of ordinary people. The Queen Mother did not seem so difficult to get along with, and she slowly became less restrained.
When he returned to the palace, Shen Jue was so happy that he kept rolling on the dragon bed without taking off his shoes.
The emperor walked in, and the empress looked like a child. She shook her head helplessly and fondly, and stayed in the outer room, sipping tea.
"Qiang, Qiang Ceyan, I feel pain..."
Hearing the sound, the emperor put down his tea cup and walked in immediately. He found that he was too drunk and his long hair was entangled in his hair ornaments.
He came over, sat down, and gently placed his drunken head on his lap, while Qiang Ceyan slowly relieved him.
His hair was inevitably pulled, and Shen Yu frowned and said aggrievedly: "It hurts."
"Don't do this again."
Shen Jiey raised his eyes and said, "You don't want anything like that."
Taking advantage of this excellent position, Shen Yu secretly took off the emperor's cumbersome clothes, and his hands were already dishonest.
Qiang Ceyan tensed up and continued to smooth Shen Ji's hair, not knowing what to say.
Actually, it's okay for Shen Yu to be like this.
Completely untying his headgear, Shen Jiu stood up and pushed Qiang Ceyan down, threatening him fiercely: "Don't talk about me."
Qiang Ceyan held Shen You in his arms, his movements as gentle as if they were rare treasures.
