After leaving the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Eldest Princess bumped into a young maid, who hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, the Eldest Princess frowned, there was no time to delay here, so she spared her, but the maid did not leave immediately.

"Princess!" The maid suddenly raised her head and called out to stop Princess.

The eldest princess turned her head and looked familiar at her, as if she had seen her somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that this was a person from the queen's palace. The queen came here alone and wanted to see her?

Later, what the maid said confirmed the eldest princess' thoughts.

The maid raised her head for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, and said in a soft voice:

"The slave's master invites the eldest princess to go and have a talk."

What is the purpose of the queen sending someone to find her?The eldest princess thought for a moment and prepared to go over to find out.

"Go and tell your master, this princess will attend the appointment."

"Yes."

The maid kowtowed deeply and did not get up until the eldest princess walked away.

In the Imperial Garden, the Empress Dowager was admiring the chrysanthemums with the imperial concubine Shuxian. The imperial concubine Shuxian looked a little tired today, and the empress dowager asked casually while admiring the chrysanthemums.

"The imperial concubine didn't rest well last night?"

The imperial concubine Shuxian smiled lightly, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern, it's all because of the child Xiang'er."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked up, "But something happened in Wannan again?"

"That's not it."

The noble concubine Shuxian sighed, and slowly lifted her heart, "Xiang'er is also approaching the age of marriage, and the concubine is worried about the candidate for the prince and concubine."

"The Ai family heard that the imperial concubine liked Yu Shi Zhongcheng's daughter. Although Ai's family accidentally found out, the daughter of Yu Shi Zhongcheng is not worthy of the position of concubine." The queen mother took the handkerchief from the maid to wipe off the dew on her hands.

"The empress dowager is right, but Xiang'er insists on marrying her as a concubine, and the concubines are also worried about this matter." The imperial concubine Shuxian hesitated and looked at the empress dowager frequently.

"The imperial concubine has something to tell the Ai family?"

The two walked towards the pavilion while talking about Qi Xiang's marriage.

"The concubine has always been unable to resist this child, Xiang'er. I wonder if the Queen Mother can give Yu Jiaojiao the false title of county head, so that Xiang'er can get what she wants."

Concubine Shuxian spoke sincerely, and the Empress Dowager looked at her more thoughtfully.

"If Shisan really likes the daughter of Yushi Zhongcheng, the Ai family will naturally be willing to be beautiful, but even the county head can't climb up to Shisan's identity."

Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Shuxian felt a sudden shock in her heart, as expected, the Empress Dowager suddenly invited herself to the imperial garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums, not just to appreciate the chrysanthemums, but to test herself.

At the beginning, the imperial concubine Shuxian once spoke out to help Shen Yang, and it seems that she has been suspected by the queen mother. Not only that, as the only child of the imperial concubine Shuxian, Qi Xiang, grew up, the imperial concubine Shuxian and her father, Doctor Yushi Whether she will help Qi Xiang fight for power or not is what the Queen Mother is most worried about.

After all, Doctor Yushi and Imperial Concubine Shuxian are both neutral at the moment, but there is no guarantee that they will suddenly stand in line in the future. As the veteran of the two dynasties, Doctor Yushi controls not only the power in his hands, but every move will affect the changes in the court.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine Shuxian quickly adjusted her mentality, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is joking, the concubine has also seen Jiaojiao, this child is quiet and does not like those disturbances, and is very well-behaved, the concubine is very happy in her heart, that's why she came here Ask the Queen Mother."

It was Yu Jiaojiao who was talking about, but Imperial Concubine Shuxian was also telling the Queen Mother that she and her father, Doctor Yushi, would not get involved in the turmoil of the prince's dispute.

As soon as these words came out, the empress dowager's suspicion was temporarily dispelled.

"Since the imperial concubine also likes it, mourning the family is just like the imperial concubine's wish."

"The concubine is here to thank the queen mother."

At this moment, a court lady of the queen mother trotted over and knelt outside the pavilion.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the slaves failed to stop the eldest princess, please forgive the sin of the Empress Dowager."

"What's the use of Aijia wanting you trash!"

After all, the Empress Dowager threw the teacup in front of the maid, and the hot tea directly burned half of the maid's face and neck red, but the maid still didn't dare to say a word.

The imperial concubine Shuxian was startled, and hurriedly stopped her.

"Queen Dowager, the Eldest Princess must be in a hurry to ignore your words and the palace people's obstruction. Why don't you go back to the palace to see the Eldest Princess?"

"Urgent matter?" The queen mother sneered, and looked back at the imperial concubine Shuxian. The matter between herself and her daughter could not be shown in front of outsiders. The queen mother quickly adjusted her state.

"Since the imperial concubine said so, the Ai family will return to the palace first."

"The concubine sent the queen mother off respectfully."

After the Queen Mother left, Imperial Concubine Shuxian immediately relaxed, kneading the center of her brows with a tired expression.

Last night, I was so worried about the news from my father that I couldn't sleep, and then I was dragged by the Queen Mother to admire the chrysanthemums early in the morning. The imperial concubine Shuxian is really exhausted physically and mentally.

But the most worrisome thing was the news from his father that Princess Bin had suddenly disappeared. Imperial Concubine Shuxian stood up and paced back and forth, then stopped suddenly.

Maybe I can go to the Queen's Palace to find out the news, and it won't attract attention.

At the same time, when the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, the Eldest Princess came up to her with her maid,

"Queen, my son has been looking for you for a long time."

The Empress Dowager looked at the Eldest Princess with dissatisfaction. The reason why she went to the Imperial Garden early in the morning was to appreciate the chrysanthemums, but in fact she did not want to see the Eldest Princess again, nor did she want to have another dispute with her own daughter. Take advantage of the loophole.

However, the eldest princess insisted on going her own way.

The empress dowager waved the palace people back, and the palace people retreated to a distance where they could not hear their conversation.

"Kang Le, what kind of ecstasy did King Bin and Princess Bin give you to make you insist on going against your mother?"

The eldest princess was silent for a while, and replied: "Queen mother, I would like to ask you to take a good look at the country of Dayu."

Since the emperor came to the throne, conflicts inside and outside the court have frequently erupted. Corruption, decay, wars, natural disasters, and people's lives are in dire straits.

But what is the emperor doing?

He is worried about whether his brother will take away the throne under him; he is worried about whether the officials are sincere;

The eldest princess wanted her younger brother and mother to see the current state of Dayu. It had long since lost the glory of her father's life, and the sun had already set in the west. The surrounding tigers stared at the wolf, and the whole Dayu was on the verge of collapse.

But the Queen Mother couldn't listen.

It is not the eldest princess who insists on doing her own way, but the queen mother.

The eldest princess gave up completely. Her mother, queen and younger brother had already lost their original appearance in the ups and downs in the huge palace, and all she could do was to accompany them, even if it was going to hell.

But Dayu's country can't be destroyed in their hands, watching the father and emperor's private industry finally wither.

The situation in the capital was changing, and a messenger galloped on a horse on the official road outside the city gate, with an anxious and serious expression on the messenger's face.

He wants to hurry up, and hurry up, to deliver the urgent letter from the border town about the Tatar siege to the emperor.
