With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly
Chapter 77: Peony Garden Tea Ceremony
Lou Yu saw that Lou Xinyue looked very unhappy, and asked with rare concern: "Sister, why do you look so unhappy?"
"What is it to you?" Lou Xinyue glared at Lou Yu and yelled.
"Xinyue, how can you talk to your brother like that!" Madam Lou scolded, looking at Lou Xinyue with a sullen face, "What's wrong with you? Yu'er is just concerned about you, why do you have to take it out on him?"
Mrs. Lou became increasingly disappointed with her daughter, who always lost her temper for no reason.
Lou Xinyue was very afraid of this mother and immediately admitted her mistake, "Mom, I was wrong."
Lou Yu originally thought that his sister had become much better in temper these days except that she often went out, but it seems that he was overthinking it.
He snorted coldly, "You really have a good heart but a bad stomach."
Lou Xinyue was angry, but she didn't dare to curse because Mrs. Lou was there.
Peony Garden, as the name suggests, there is a large peony garden in this yard, but the peonies have long since withered.
If it happens to be the peony blooming season, it will definitely be extraordinarily beautiful.
When Nanyan arrived, all the ladies and young ladies had already arrived.
"See the Queen."
"No gift."
Nan Yan sat in the middle seat. Her beautiful and charming appearance made the ladies who had seen her dazed for a moment.
No wonder the queen is the only one favored by the emperor. No one can resist such a beauty.
Nan Yan used her slender white fingers to smooth down the messy hair beside her ears that was blown up by the wind, and said with a chuckle, "I asked all of you ladies to come here today just to talk, so don't be too formal, everyone, please sit down!"
"Yes, Queen."
Everyone took their seats one by one.
At first, he was a little restrained, but when he gradually realized that Queen Nan Yan had a very good temper, he slowly relaxed.
Before they knew it, the topic of conversation turned to Shang Yue's harem.
"My queen, in my opinion, we should select some more women to enter the palace to expand the business of our Shang Dynasty."
"I think Madam Yuan is right. When other people reach your age, they already have many children."
There were a few others who followed suit.
Ruan Yurou's face turned cold. These people all had daughters of marriageable age at home, so the meaning was self-evident.
Nan Yan frowned and slowly turned the teacup in front of her. Her porcelain-white face was filled with sorrow and she sighed, "Although I am the empress of a country, the world belongs to the emperor. I will do whatever the emperor says."
She looked at the people who had just spoken, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "The emperor doesn't want to select the concubines, and I can't do anything about it. Why don't you ladies help me think of a solution, or let you ladies go and persuade the emperor."
What Nan Yan meant was very simple. You should go and persuade the Emperor to hold the beauty contest.
The emperor looked so majestic and murderous that their legs began to tremble when they stood in front of him.
What's more, all the ministers who had advised the emperor to select a concubine had been punished, and they did not dare to let their masters take the risk.
Princess Dongping put down the teacup in her hand, glanced at the people who had just spoken, and echoed Nan Yan, "What the queen said is right. All this still depends on the emperor. If the emperor refuses, who dares to force him to come?"
If the emperor takes a few more women, will her grandson still have a chance to ascend the throne?
Princess Dongping felt that these people were meddling too much and dared to interfere in the royal family's affairs.
She was angry and looked at Madam Yuan who was the first to speak and said, "Madam Yuan, I think some people just need to take care of their own family affairs, and don't bother with the emperor's affairs. What do you think?"
Madam Yuan smiled awkwardly a few times. She had thought that the Queen was magnanimous and easy to talk to, but she didn't expect that she would not be so easy to talk to when it came to her own affairs.
And the Princess of Dongping actually spoke for the Queen.
She had just arrived in the capital and could not afford to offend the Queen and Princess Dongping.
She hurriedly explained, "I am just saying this for the good of Da Shang. The Queen is right. After all, Da Shang is the Emperor's Da Shang, and we have to listen to the Emperor's wishes."
Because of this incident, the originally lively atmosphere disappeared in an instant. For the following time, everyone was out of state. After finally waiting for the tea party to end, everyone returned to the yard.
Nan Yan sent Ruan Yurou back to her yard. On the way, the mother and daughter chatted arm in arm.
"Yan'er, I heard that those young ladies often hang out at Qixiayuan these days. Are you okay?" Ruan Yurou turned her head and looked at Nan Yan with a worried look, fearing that her daughter would feel sad.
Nan Yan patted Ruan Yurou's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I don't care about them."
"Then the Emperor's side..."
"The emperor is not willing to leave the courtyard except to accompany me. Moreover, when those people came this morning, I was still resting, and the emperor did not let them into the courtyard."
After hearing this, Ruan Yurou breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I know that it is common for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards.
But Yan'er is her daughter, and secretly, she still hopes that the emperor only has Yan'er as his woman.
Nan Yan sent Ruan Yurou back to the courtyard and accompanied the Nan family to finish dinner before going back. After returning, she heard Nanny Wang say that the Queen Mother was looking for her, so she followed Nanny Wang to the Queen Mother's courtyard.
"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."
"No need to be polite." The Queen Mother pointed to a chair beside her and said, "Yan'er, sit down!"
The Empress Dowager was also talking about those young ladies who came to hang around outside Qixia Garden. They were all women, so of course she knew what they were thinking.
As a woman, the Queen Mother understood the despair of being devoted to a man while that man had other women. She was now standing from the perspective of a woman, not her son.
She had no requirements for her son's offspring, but she didn't want him to have too many concubines, lest a good woman like Yan'er get hurt.
Nan Yan was touched to see that the Queen Mother cared about her so much.
"Mother, don't worry about me. You know what kind of person the emperor is. Their behavior will not have any impact on me."
The Queen Mother sighed softly. She didn't expect that Yan'er, at such a young age, understood more than she thought.
Yes! Aren’t these things all up to men’s thoughts?
If he doesn't want to, no matter what other women do, it won't work. If he wants to, he will take the initiative to find other women.
The Queen Mother said with emotion: "Yan'er, you are more thoughtful than I am. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early!"
That night, Nan Yan had a dream.
She was on the lawn where she fell when she was being chased. There was no small house built by Shang Yue yet.
"Mother..."
"Mother...we are here..."
Hearing the voice, Nan Yan turned around and her eyes widened instantly.
She saw two children, a boy and a girl, about two or three years old, both very cute. One looked like Shang Yue, the other like her, running towards her.
She couldn't help but squat down and open her arms.
The two guys rushed into her arms, and their small, soft bodies not only hit her arms, but also hit her heart.
