The Empress Dowager left the palace to Duanjing Hou Mansion on a sunny day. Before the Empress Dowager came, she did not ask someone to say hello in advance.

The housekeeper was shocked when he saw the Queen Mother's Yijia return home. He was very suspicious that the Queen Mother was afraid of notifying him in advance, so he was blocked by the little marquis and refused to let her come, so he simply came directly.

The housekeeper invited the Empress Dowager into the mansion in fear and respect. The Empress Dowager was halfway through, and Yan Qing walked out of the room. When he saw the Empress Dowager, he raised his eyebrows and showed a dissatisfied look.

The Empress Dowager stopped and yelled at him, "No matter how much you don't want the Ai family to return home, the Ai family has also come back."

The implication is that it doesn’t work if you are rushing now. You are here.

The housekeeper thought that it was true that the Empress Dowager knew the little marquis.

Yan Qing walked forward and reached out to hold her, "This snow has just stopped. What are you trying to tossing with your old bones?"

"I'm going to see my nephew and wife, not to see you."

"Where are you going to see if you have a nephew and wife without me?" Yan Qing said dissatisfiedly, "I just said I would not let her return to Beijing from Qiyun Mountain and let her raise her in Qiyun Mountain for more days, but she didn't listen. Now she is back, how about it? As expected, I have to work hard every day."

The Queen Mother patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, the Ai family will leave after staying for a while, and she will never let her work hard."

Yan Qing muttered something.

The Queen Mother didn't hear it clearly and asked him, "What did you say?"

Yan Qing said angrily: "You are here at noon. Don't you just miss the chef in my mansion? Go back after lunch."

The queen mother was immediately happy and looked at the sky. Who was rushing to order lunch? There were still two hours before lunch. But she didn't even slap it out. Since she became a playboy, she has become twisted. She obviously wanted to keep her for dinner, but she deliberately looked reluctant and pushed her all.

However, because of this, she felt relaxed. The emperor was born in her, but the mother and son were also alienated. Only Yan Qing, who had never regarded her as the queen mother since she was a child, but only regarded her as an ordinary old lady.

She didn't bother with Yan Qing, "Then why are you still standing? Let the kitchen prepare and make something I love."

Yan Qing muttered again and went to the kitchen in person, but the housekeeper accompanied the queen mother to send it to Ziyuan.

Ling Hua was actually able to get out of bed, but Yan Qing was not sure. She had long emphasized to her that no matter who came, even if the emperor was too late, he had to stay in bed according to his requirements, and then get out of bed until he allowed.

Ling Hua was not afraid of the emperor or the empress dowager, but was afraid that Yan Qing would be cold to her, so she could only do it.

So, when the Empress Dowager was later, Ling Hua was dressed neatly and sat obediently on the bed waiting for the empress dowager. When she saw the empress dowager enter the house, she raised her hand and wanted to salute on the bed.

The Empress Dowager quickly took a step, came to the bed, and held her hand, "Your injury has just been cured a little, put the rules and etiquette aside first, Ai's family is here to see you, not to trouble you."

Ling Hua finished his leave and smiled and pulled the queen mother to sit on the bed with her, "Thank you, grandma, for coming to see me. I haven't wish you a New Year's greetings this year. You should wait in the palace. When I recover from my wounds, I will go to wish you a New Year's greetings."

The Empress Dowager patted her hand kindly, "It is a blessing that you can be safe and sound. The Ai family will be more content."

The two of them talked back and forth for a while.

The Empress Dowager was afraid that Ling Hua would be tired, so she asked her to lie down quickly. Ling Hua shook her head and said that she no longer needed to lie down anymore. The Empress Dowager didn't believe it until Yan Qing came back from the kitchen and confirmed for her that the Empress Dowager did not strongly ask for it.

Because Ling Hua was asked to lie down, the empress dowager noticed that there was a pile of account books piled up by the bedside. She glared, "No wonder the brat said that you would work hard every day when you return to Beijing. If you don't have these account books, no one can read them?"

Ling Hua hurriedly said, "This is what Liuli just brought over today. She doesn't need to look at it. She only picks up important things that others cannot decide. She can read them for a while and it will be processed in no time. This account book is not available every day."

The Queen Mother doesn't believe it.

Ling Hua looked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing said dissatisfiedly: "I said she was working hard, but she was not talking about the account book, but a person. She had endless exchanges every day, and she almost flattened the threshold of my Duan Jinghou Mansion."

The Queen Mother gave an idea, "Then she will thank the guests in a closed door."

Ling Hua thought that he was worthy of being an aunt, nephew, and his ideas were the same.

Yan Qing bent her eyebrows and said proudly to Ling Hua: "Look, I did it right, my grandma also meant that way."

Ling Hua had no words to refute.

The empress dowager then took it over and smiled angrily, and pointed at Yan Qing, "It turns out that you can't control others. I'm here to pull the big banner of Ai's family."

Yan Qing bent her lips, "She doesn't accept it."

Ling Hua was helpless, who would not accept it? She never thought Yan Qing was not easy to talk to, but since she was injured, she found that he was really not easy to talk to, so she recovered from the injury and refused to let her work hard. He said the matter.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yan Qing and Ling Hua. She looked at her vicious eyes. She saw from her that the couple was different from the newly married couple at that time, and then she smiled happily and reassuredly and said to Ling Hua: "You are injured now, so you should recuperate well. The rest are left to your subordinates. What your subordinates can't do, so let's put them aside for the time being. You must always remember that it is important to recuperate from your injuries, and there is nothing more important than your body."

Ling Hua nodded repeatedly.

The Empress Dowager said something else for a while, mentioned Xiao Zhen, hesitated for a while, and still revealed to Ling Hua, "Your Majesty will summon the Prince of Lingshan to the capital soon."

Ling Hua was stunned and asked tentatively: "Do you know why?"

"For the prince, it is also for the Lingshan." The empress dowager sighed. Seeing that Linghua was really confused, she thought about it and said, "Your relationship with Lingshan..."

"There are distant people in the family." Ling Hua felt that this evaluation was the most pertinent.

The Empress Dowager nodded and asked again: "Do you think the mountain will rebel?"

Ling Hua said affirmatively: "I dare not do it very sure, but eight-point certainty, Lingshan will not." After the words, she added, "At least not at the moment, there is no anti-intention."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Ling Hua looked at the empress dowager and felt very keenly that the empress dowager involved Xiao Zhen and Lingshan and said, afraid that there was something unspeakable secret in the middle. She lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, you know, I have supported Xiao Zhen for ten years and have a blood relationship with Lingshan again. My principle is to support him ascend to the throne."

The queen mother did not doubt the authenticity of Ling Hua's words at all. How much she did for Xiao Zhen. Since the emperor arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion that day and returned to the palace, she had already realized that those who were only material, as well as many bloodless swords and swords, no one who could repay her life was worthy of her promise.

The Queen Mother nodded, "I believe in you."

It was precisely because of Xin Linghua and for the sake of Yan Qing that she said this today, "The Ai family didn't want to say it at first, but His Majesty wanted to summon the Prince of Lingshan to Beijing. This is always an irregular landmine. The Ai family is afraid that you will step on it, and also afraid that Xiao Zheng will step on it. If you don't do it well, it will be broken into pieces. Therefore, the Ai family will leave the palace today, in addition to wanting to see you, they also want to make preparations in advance."

Ling Hua asked tentatively: "You mentioned Xiao Zheng and Lingshan, but what else does Xiao Zheng have to do with Lingshan besides my relationship?"

The Queen Mother glanced at the door.

Yan Qing said from the side: "Just say that outside the door, except for the Madam Sun you brought, there are Yunluo and Duanyang. Others can't hear it."

The Empress Dowager didn't want to say much, but when it comes to this, she said, "Forget it, since that's the case, the Ai family will tell you! Over the years, one thing has been the emperor's heart disease, and the Ai family is the heart disease. The emperor is because of love and the Ai family is because of Xiao Zhen's child."

Ling Hua corrected her expression and knew that she was afraid she would talk about Concubine Duan in the cold palace. This was exactly what she wanted to know. It would be best if the empress dowager took the initiative to tell her, so as not to investigate carefully.

She thought that she would thank Wen Xingzhi and Xiao Ze for this. If they hadn't revealed her relationship with Lingshan, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have been sitting here today and said this to her.

Sure enough, the empress dowager said next: "Xiao Zhen's mother was born in Lingshan. She was the third daughter of the king of Lingshan. She was lost since childhood and had been trafficked by a human trafficker several times. Later, she was adopted by a rich family without children. The rich couple treated her as their biological daughter and raised her and had already agreed to her a marriage, but she was taken aback by the local bully. The bully did not care whether she had an engagement or not and insisted on robbing her. In order to save her, her fiancé injured her leg. Her adoptive parents not only lost their business because they protected her. Not only did they lose their business, but they also sued her. That year, the court was selected for the show girl. She was desperate and signed up and became a show girl. The bully did not dare to touch her. In this way, she was selected all the way, leaving a sign and entering the palace."

Ling Hua looked at the empress dowager in shock, no longer knowing what she was thinking. She had thought and guessed it all, but never thought that Xiao Zhen's mother was actually from Lingshan, and she was the daughter of the King of Lingshan.

Yan Qing didn't expect that, and he was also shocked.
