Absolutely! My maid was also reborn after traveling through time

"Grandma!"

Shen Qinglan entered the Zhanghua Palace happily. The Empress Dowager was still cold-faced, but when she saw the great-grandson in her arms, she immediately smiled.

"Oh, this is kid Heng!"

The Empress Dowager stood up quickly, took Ziheng from Shen Qinglan's hand, and hugged her in her arms.

"Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the imperial grandmother." Shen Qinglan knelt down and saluted.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, snorted lightly, and said angrily, "Get up."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Shen Qinglan smiled, then stood up.

The Empress Dowager touched Ziheng's small face, Ziheng smiled, and stretched out her pink and tender hands towards her.

Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager felt much better.

"Oh, boy Heng, you are fat and chubby, much better-looking than your unreliable father!" The Empress Dowager laughed.

Zhou Neishi looked at the boy Zi Heng in the arms of the Empress Dowager, and said: "It is said that a son is like a mother, but Zi Heng is more like a princess."

"Sisi, have you brought all the wet nurses?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"I brought them all." Shen Qinglan said.

"Well, Zhou Yun, you take the young master down to rest first, the Ai family has something to say to the princess."

The Empress Dowager said, and handed the boy Heng in her arms to Zhou Neishi.

Zhou Nei waiter took over Zi Heng, bowed down and saluted, "Yes, this old servant understands."

Soon, only Shen Qinglan and the Empress Dowager were left in the inner hall.

Shen Qinglan knelt down again to salute, and said: "Let the imperial grandmother worry about our husband and wife, it is our unfilial piety as juniors, please punish the imperial grandmother."

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly, and said: "You also said that your husband and wife are juniors, how can the elders of the Ai family care about the younger generation? Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Shen Qinglan stood up and came to the Empress Dowager's side.

"Sit down."

The Empress Dowager held her hand and pulled her to sit down beside her.

"Grandmother, Sisi is no longer a princess, why do you still call her Princess Sisi in front of so many people? If this word gets out, there will inevitably be discussions in the court." Shen Qinglan said.

"I just want them to know that as long as there is an Ai family, the throne of the Ai family's grandson is not just lost." The Empress Dowager said.

Shen Qinglan chuckled, "That's fine, the emperor's grandmother is partial to Sisi, and they might not be able to sit still."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "That's exactly the reason."

"Grandmother, Sisi has been feeling guilty for not being able to explain all this to you." Shen Qinglan said.

"During the winter, the Ai family was always ill. You dare not let the Ai family know about the affairs of the court, but the Ai family will get the news sooner or later. Later, the emperor was afraid that the Ai family would be too sad and his illness would worsen. When he came to pay his respects to the Ai family one day, he deliberately revealed it. Although the words were cryptic, the Ai family could understand. Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, the court has been unstable. Yun, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and the world. These bad things should have ended long ago, you are doing the right thing, and the imperial grandmother supports you." The Empress Dowager said.

"Now that my little prince has been abolished, and now he has gone to the frontier, they are already lax, thinking that I can insult me ​​at will. The emperor's grandmother protects me so much, and His Majesty has a lot of help, so they are anxious and take action." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager nodded, "A few days ago, you sent a post to the Ai family, and the Ai family guessed it."

"With the help of our ancestors, our grandchildren will surely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.

"Old Ancestor? That's a good title, Aijia likes it." The Empress Dowager also laughed.

"The imperial grandmother is the ancestor of the grandchildren." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager smiled, and suddenly showed embarrassment, and said: "Since Sisi called the Ai family an old ancestor, the Ai family also has something to ask."

Shen Qinglan was slightly taken aback, and said: "Grandmother, you just have to speak up, it's really hard to think about what you want or not."

"Although the queen mother has done evil, she is the late emperor's wife after all, and she was very kind to you in the past. After this turmoil is over, you can't make things difficult for her." The empress dowager said.

"Yes, our husband and wife and His Majesty know this well." Shen Qinglan said.

"And... Yi'er, no matter how bad he is, he is Linchuan's elder brother, your father's biological son, and a descendant of the Zhao family." The Empress Dowager said.

Shen Qinglan had a bitter face, a look of embarrassment, and a little hatred in his eyes.

She didn't want to deceive the Empress Dowager, only Zhao Yi, she didn't intend to let it go.

The Empress Dowager saw her thoughts, patted her hand, and said, "Sisi, that stupid son of the Ai family really loves you and Linchuan. When something happened to you, he was at a loss and could only beg his nephew and wife. You are not by his side. He has been so lonely all these years. Do you have the heart to let others suffer the pain of bereavement in middle age?"

"Grandmother... the son of the emperor has killed his siblings all these years, disregarded human life, manipulated power, formed cliques for personal gain, and done countless evil things. His hands were stained with the blood of countless people. Sisi hated him to the bone, and it is hard to let go." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Silly boy, for Yi'er, losing power is a hundred times more painful than letting him die. Even if it's for the mourning family, for your father, you'd better spare his life, don't let us elders with white hair give away black-haired people. Sisi, you should listen to the mourning family in this matter."

Shen Qinglan lowered her head and struggled in her heart for a long time. The empress dowager hugged her, let her lean into her arms, and comforted her: "Sisi, Aijia knows that you feel wronged and sad, but in life, there is not only hatred. Aijia also knows that you have worked hard for the Shen family and Linyuan over the years. Everything that you have worked so hard to destroy is ruined by others. If you are Aijia, Aijia will feel uncomfortable. Even if you get revenge, think of your father, look at him You have been living in pain for the rest of your life, will you still face the choice at that time with peace of mind?"

"Grandmother, Sisi knows." Shen Qinglan said.

"Well, you are smart and transparent, you don't need to say some things, I think you understand." The Empress Dowager said.

Shen Qinglan took a breath and nodded, "Grandmother, at your age, you have been worrying about our husband and wife all the time. Sisi is really sorry, and has always been grateful for your kindness. Since you said it, then Sisi will spare his life. But Sisi still has one more request, please grant it to Grandmother."

"You say it."

"Zhao Yi can no longer be the eldest son of Prince Heng's Mansion, and I want him to be imprisoned for life." Shen Qinglan said.

"Well, as long as his life is saved, these are nothing. But King Heng's title must be inherited by someone. Prince Heng is a prince, and it is too desolate to have no heirs. If Linchuan is asked to be the heir, will he agree?" said the Empress Dowager.

"In such a matter, Sisi can't make a decision for her husband, nor can she be the master of the father. The father is in good health, so this matter is not urgent. Let the father discuss it with the young prince." Shen Qinglan said.

"What you said is that this matter cannot be rushed, and needs to be considered in the long term. Our grandparents have also talked about it for so long, are you hungry? Let's have a meal first, and you can stay here for a few days and spend time with the imperial grandmother." The Empress Dowager said.

"Well, Sisi can't ask for it." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.
