Chapter 525 You Should Take Care of the Children First
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother invites you."
Lu Shian paused: "The Queen Mother is looking for me?"
The nanny who came to deliver the message smiled and nodded: "Please trouble Her Majesty the Concubine to go there."
Lu Shian looked at the sky outside. It was already so late. What urgent matter did the Queen Mother have that required her to go there now?
"Mammy, what did the Queen Mother say?"
Mammy smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know."
Lu Shian, who originally wanted to rest, had to follow the nanny to pay his respects to the Queen Mother!
Arriving at the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lu Shian knelt down and bowed to her. The Queen Mother indifferently ordered her to get up!
Seeing that the Queen Mother's tone was not very good, Lu Shian had a vague idea in his heart!
The Queen Mother glanced at Lu Shian and said unhappily, "I heard you went out today?"
"Replying to mother, yes, my daughter-in-law left the palace today!"
"Where have you gone?"
"North of the city."
"You are sincere!"
"I dare not hide it from my mother!"
"Humph, I know the emperor dotes on you, but you are getting too complacent!"
Lu Shian was stunned. Was she getting too proud of herself?
The Queen Mother became even more angry when she saw her like that: "Tell me how much trouble you have caused since you came out of confinement!"
"Do you think you are worthy of the title of virtuous concubine?"
"I, your daughter-in-law, don't think I can bear this title. It's all a gift from the Emperor!"
"Since you know it's a gift, you should be grateful and not spread such gossip to others!"
Oh……
It turns out that the Queen Mother was angry because of the rumors about her and Shen Cuo!
Lu Shian bowed again and continued, "In reply to the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is referring to the rumors about me and Lord Shen, your daughter-in-law wants to explain to you, Mother!"
"Explain? What's there to explain? There are so many people in the palace, why didn't they gossip about you instead? I just said one sentence today, and look at you, you have so many words waiting for you."
Lu Shian: ...
The Queen Mother's attitude today was in stark contrast to before. In the past, the Queen Mother was absolutely kind and amiable to her, but today...
Lu Shian sighed silently in her heart. Ever since she had Chen'er, she no longer served the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager. Even when she came to pay her respects, she was really just here to pay her respects. After paying her respects, she did not stay for long and went back to the palace to take care of Chen'er.
It seems that relationships need to be maintained, and I will have to spend more time with the two elderly people in the future.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Lu Shian bowed and said, "I have heard this. I have not read much and do not understand any great principles. I hope that my mother will explain it to me so that I will not do something wrong without knowing it."
Seeing that Lu Shian's attitude was not bad, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Also, you are already the Queen of the Palace, don't run out all the time for no reason. Not to mention that Chen'er is still young, as a mother you should take care of him more."
"My mother taught me that my daughter-in-law will take good care of Chen'er in the future."
Seeing that Lu Shian was still obedient, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back."
Lu Shian saluted politely.
After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lu Shian looked up at the moon in the sky. The bright crescent moon was hanging in the west. There was not even a star around.
The next day, Lu Shian rarely stayed in bed and did not get up early. Unlike yesterday, she was listless today. Seeing her like this, Lu'er was a little worried.
"Mother, what's going on?"
Weren't you quite energetic yesterday?
"Ah, the Queen Mother is right. I am the child's mother and I should put the child first."
She is now the virtuous concubine, and her man is the king of a country, not a poor beast of burden. Why should she be in a hurry to work?
"Madam, do you mean not to go out today?"
"I won't go out."
"But the Emperor..."
"Don't worry about the emperor for now."
Last night she sorted out what was happening in Chengbei, and it was clear that the matter was more complicated than it seemed.
She had a vague feeling that by developing the north of the city, Li Hongting was trying to kill two birds with one stone.
