Chapter 264 Zenning Hall Meets the Empress Dowager

When Shen Qinglan arrived at Zening Hall, she learned that the Empress Dowager was taking a nap and was taken to the side hall by the palace people.

The palace people brought tea and snacks, Shen Qinglan nodded and picked up the teacup.

Yan'er stood beside her, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, is the empress dowager giving us a blow?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Qinglan looked around, "It's common for the empress dowager to take a nap, we came too early."

After a long time, the empress dowager still did not summon her.

Shen Qinglan had already drank two cups of tea and ate most of the fruits.

"Princess, will the Empress Dowager miss you today because she has something to do?" Yan'er whispered.

"I do not know either……"

After finishing speaking, the empress dowager came to the side hall with the help of the palace servants.

"Has the magistrate waited long?"

The empress dowager's complexion was not very good, and there was no trace of joy.

"Concubine Shen Qinglan, see the Empress Dowager."

Shen Qinglan quickly got up and knelt on the ground.

"Get up quickly. County lord, how much has the palace been doing recently?" the queen mother asked.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern. Last month, there was a big party, and half of the courtyard in the mansion was lost, and it is currently being repaired." Shen Qinglan replied.

"Oh. Sit down, come and serve tea."

After the queen mother finished speaking, she glanced at the snack table next to Shen Qinglan.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"County Lord, I don't know how the house in the palace is being repaired?"

"If you go back to Niangniang, you've almost finished repairing it, and it will be over in less than half a month."

The empress dowager picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip, and put it down again.

"I'm looking for you today, it's not a big deal, just a few ladies from the official family introduced you to each other." The Empress Dowager said.

Shen Qinglan chuckled, and asked, "Whose lady is the queen mother going to introduce?"

"They are all ladies from the families of some veterans in the court. You are now a member of the royal family, and this kind of human relationship is indispensable. I also know that you are from Luoping City, and you don't know much about Kyoto. Officials don't know much about it, but the regent is in charge of important affairs in the court, so naturally you have to worry about it." The queen mother said.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "What the empress taught is that the concubine is young, so I ask the empress dowager to give me some pointers."

The Queen Mother nodded, quite satisfied with the answer.

"Although you young couple are newly married, the regent is not only the prince, but also the nephew of the first emperor, and the blood of the Zhao family. Now that Linchuan is old and weak, but has no heirs, it is not prudent. You are young , is not suitable for childbearing, so I have to worry about Ai's family and add a few more to Linchuan's room." The Queen Mother said.

The empress dowager sat in the front seat, looked at Shen Qinglan, and said: "The Ai family knows that the county master is not a jealous person."

Still smiling, Shen Qinglan nodded slightly towards the empress dowager sitting in the front seat, "Thank you, empress dowager, for your praise."

Hearing this, the queen mother was a little unhappy.

Shen Qinglan didn't say she was willing or unwilling, she just said "Thank you for your praise", it seemed that she didn't want her to intervene in the affairs of the Prince Regent's Palace.

At this time, a little maid came in and answered.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, all the ladies from all the mansions have arrived."

"Well, let them all in."

After all the ladies entered the side hall, they all knelt down and saluted the empress dowager who was sitting on the main seat. The empress dowager directly asked them to stand up and gave them seats.

The nanny next to the empress dowager introduced: "Master, these three ladies, one is from Mr. Zuo's family, the other is from Mr. Zhuang's family, and the one on the far right is from General Zhuo's family. They grew up in the capital of the capital. Daddy, I am very familiar with everything in the capital, and I can relieve your worries when you enter the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Shen Qinglan picked up the teacup and took a sip, but remained silent.

Not only the queen mother, but even the nuns in the queen mother's palace only call her the county master.

Could it be that she does not recognize her identity as a princess?
That's right, even though Zhao Shun had already become the county king at the beginning, he had no real power in his hands. Now he has become the regent king. How can she, a woman from a merchant, be worthy of it?
It seems that what the Empress Dowager means is that if she, Shen Qinglan, listens to the Empress Dowager in everything in the future, and follows Zening Hall's lead, then she can continue to be the princess. If she doesn't, the Empress Dowager will make her an abandoned woman at any time.

"Master, are you... dissatisfied?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Shen Qinglan put down the teacup slowly, and asked with a smile: "The concubine is stupid, but she didn't understand what the empress dowager meant."

"What the Empress Dowager means is that if these three young ladies are concubines of the Prince Regent's Mansion, it will be an auspicious day for entry." Said the nanny next to the Empress Dowager.

"So that's the case. Empress Dowager, concubines can't make decisions without authorization. For such a matter, you still have to ask the prince what he thinks." Shen Qinglan said.

The empress dowager sneered, "The regent was raised by Ai's family. He lost his mother when he was young. As his elder, I arranged three concubines for his own good. Naturally, he would not refuse. "

"County Lord, the Empress Dowager has already found someone to look at it. The next day will be a good day. Please also ask the County Lord to tidy up the houses where the three ladies live so that the three ladies can move in and help you take care of the palace together. Matters." Mammy said again.

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Since that's the case, the concubine will only follow the Queen Mother's orders."

After hearing this, the queen mother nodded in satisfaction, "The Ai family knows that you are a sensible child."

"The Prince Regent is here!"

Hearing a shout from the servants in the outer courtyard, Zhao Shun entered the door of the side hall.

The queen was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Zhao Shun to come!
The others got up quickly and kowtowed to see the arrival of the regent.

"See the Regent."

Just as Shen Qinglan was about to kneel down, Zhao Shun helped her up.

"Princess, don't be too polite."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, he knelt down to greet the empress dowager on the main seat.

"Minister Zhao Shun, see the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old Jin'an."

"Well, get up, get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After Zhao Shun got up, the Empress Dowager asked: "The Prince Regent is not in Qinxian Hall to deal with official business at this time, why is he here in Zening Hall?"

"I have something to discuss with the empress dowager, I never thought that my princess is also in Zening Hall." Zhao Shun said.

"Well, since your wedding, the Ai family has never seen the county magistrate again, so they asked her to come over to catch up on the old days, and they happened to know the young lady of the court official's family." The empress dowager said.

"I see."

Zhao Shun glanced at the three ladies, they were pretty, but sitting with his family Sisi in the same room, there was no comparison at all.

It is too naive for the queen mother to use such a woman to grab his heart and take away the favor that belongs to the princess.

The Queen Mother glanced at Mammy, who immediately understood and introduced, "Prince Regent, these three young ladies grew up in the capital, and the one on the left is..."

"Needless to say, Mammy, I'm not interested." Zhao Shun said coldly.
