In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

Lin Qing also felt the Queen Mother's gaze on her at this moment, which made her a little at a loss for a moment and she was suspicious in her heart.

Why is the Queen Mother always staring at me? Is there something on my face?

Thinking of this, Lin Qing touched his face unconsciously, and then quietly lowered his head without making any sound.

The Queen Mother just stared at Lin Qingye for a long time without saying a word. Finally, she withdrew her gaze from Lin Qingye's face and spoke slowly.

"Second Prince, please tell me first, what happened tonight?"

After hearing this, the second prince immediately spoke respectfully.

"In reply to your grandmother, the Empress Dowager, I heard that my father was not feeling well, so I came to the Yangxin Palace to visit him and show my filial piety."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled kindly and nodded slowly.

"Good boy, it's hard for you to be so filial...

When you were little, I could see that you were a smart child.

Sometimes, I am too impatient. I have loved to compete since I was a child. I always like to compete with others for victory or defeat in everything. I am too competitive...”

After hearing this, the second prince kowtowed twice to the empress dowager.

"I will remember the teachings of my grandmother, the Empress Dowager, and I will definitely correct them."

Then the Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

"Good, good, good, good child, you are a filial son."

Then, the empress dowager's gaze fell on the third prince Ye Tinghua, and the empress dowager continued to speak to the third prince Ye Tinghua.

"Tinghua, come forward and let grandma take a good look at you.

After hearing this, Ye Tinghua also started to wonder, why is the Queen Mother acting crazy tonight? She is not usually so affectionate to him.

The Queen Mother had always loved Ye Tingxuan, who was born to the Queen, so why did she call me so affectionately today? Could it be that she was getting old and confused and mistook me for Ye Tingxuan?

Although Ye Tinghua was thinking this in his heart at the moment, he did not dare to show it on his face. He still knelt down respectfully in front of the empress dowager, but he still wanted to give some advice, so he spoke.

"My grandson Ye Tinghua pays respects to my grandmother, the Empress Dowager."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and touched his head.

"Tinghua, you haven't seen me for a while. Come here and let me take a good look at you."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she also looked carefully at Ye Tingxuan in front of her, then smiled and nodded slowly after a moment.

"Well, you look more and more like the emperor when he was a child. When you were young, I thought you were a soft-tempered child. Now that you have grown up, you should learn to be stronger and stop giving in to others. This will put you at a disadvantage."

After hearing this, Ye Tinghua began to wonder what the Queen Mother was up to today. Although he hadn't seen her for a long time, she couldn't have suddenly developed feelings for him, right?

Ye Tinghua still spoke in a inconsistent manner.

"Grandson thanks Grandmother Queen Mother for her concern. Grandson will remember her teachings in his heart........."

After hearing what Ye Tinghua said, the Queen Mother smiled even more and nodded with a loving smile.

"Well, you are a sensible child. Remember to come visit me more often in the future.

well........

I am old too...

I hope you young people can come to my palace more often to add some vitality to it...

Otherwise, I always feel that the palace is dead and dull....”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, all the princes expressed their relief in unison.

The Queen finally spoke at this moment.

"Look at you guys. You've even made the Queen Mother sad. It's getting late now. You should all leave the palace early and go back to rest..."

After hearing this, Concubine Yu raised her head suddenly again. Just as she was about to speak to persuade him to stay, she met the gaze of the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Yu immediately lowered her eyes unwillingly, and at this moment, she had pinched the armor under her sleeves tightly in her hands.

Then no one dared to raise any more objections. They knelt down to pay homage to the Queen Mother and then quietly left.

Wait until the footsteps of the crowd fade away...

Cailan, who had just rushed back to get a cloak for Concubine Yu, also trotted in, holding a silver-white fox fur cloak.

When the Queen Mother saw the fox fur cloak in Cailan's arms, her expression changed immediately. She snorted coldly and said to Concubine Yu.

"If I remember correctly, Lady Yu's silver fox cloak...

But the emperor knows that you have always loved leather, so he specially saved it for you...

In previous years, the amount of silver fox skins that the northern country paid as tribute was only one or two pieces a year, and your cloak is made entirely of the belly hair of silver foxes, so the material is even more precious.

I guess the emperor must have spent a lot of manpower and resources to order someone to make this cloak for you, right?"

Concubine Yu was also trembling with head down at this moment, not daring to look directly at the empress dowager, and spoke cautiously.

"To answer your mother's question... yes... yes... I understand in my heart that this is... the emperor's love for me."

At this moment, Concubine Yu was so nervous that she couldn't even finish a sentence. She now wished she could strangle Cai Lan to death. Why did she bring back something else, but instead took this? Wasn't this clearly a trap to kill her?

The empress dowager's eyes suddenly became fierce. She grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it towards Concubine Yu, scolding loudly.

"You know the emperor dotes on you, but you still dare to joke about the emperor's body! If anything happens to the emperor, you have enough heads to chop off!"

Concubine Yu was startled by the Queen Mother's sudden action, but she still knelt firmly where she was, not daring to move at all, allowing the spilled tea to soak her skirt.

At this moment, Concubine Yu looked up with tears in her eyes and spoke to the Queen Mother with a look of grievance.

"Please understand clearly, mother. I really don't know why you said that.

The emperor has always been very fond of me, and I also love him deeply in my heart...

Your Majesty is ill, and I feel sorry for him more than anyone else. How could I dare to joke about his health?

Please, mother, investigate this matter! I am truly wronged!"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother slammed the table again and shouted loudly.

"How dare you quibble! With so many youngsters present, I have already given you enough face!

Do you really think I'm old and confused now? You dare to play tricks in front of me! Do you really think I dare not take your life!

If it weren't for the fact that you are an old man by the emperor's side and have given birth to several heirs for our royal family, I would have killed you right now!"
