But no matter what the Queen Mother felt in her heart, her eyes finally fell on Shao Ziqing, and she said with great disappointment: "Yes, what you are doing now, can you live up to your parents' expectations?"

The profound meaning in these words covers too much. Concubine Shu fought her whole life to survive for Shao Ziqing, and the emperor worked hard for decades to cultivate him. But in the past twenty years, what has Shao Ziqing become like?

If Concubine Shu saw it in the spirit of heaven, she would be so heartbroken.

It stands to reason that the Queen Mother is also Shao Ziqing's imperial grandmother, but Shao Ziqing disappoints her too much.

The Queen Mother finally sighed and said coolly: "Yao'er just begged the Ai family to let her make peace with you."

Shao Ziqing's molars clenched visibly. He was not surprised, not at all. She knew what he had done to her.

He had never regretted those evil deeds in the past. Until this moment, he witnessed Jiang Zuiyao being tortured to death by him, and the little kindness he had in his heart finally overflowed.

A chill ran through his heart, and he realized that what he had done was indeed a little too much, and it was time to let her go. He was about to open his mouth to accept the matter, but before hesitating, the Queen Mother had already spoken: "It's just that the Ai family didn't agree.

.”

This marriage is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The emperor valued Shao Ziqing so much, so Shaojiang must have the emperor's approval for his marriage. On the surface, it seemed like it was just a marriage between the Shao family and the Jiang family, but in fact, it required the royal approval.

Therefore, the Queen Mother said: "In this capital, there is no woman who is more suitable for you than Yao'er. If it were anyone else, you would have been tortured to death long ago. Yao'er is a malleable talent, and she is worthy of standing by your side in the future.

Women, forget about the flowers and plants of the past. People cannot always live in the past."

It seems that the Queen Mother also knows about Zou Yanqing.

Later, the Queen Mother said earnestly: "You walk the road yourself. Don't wait until you regret it later, only to find out it's too late. This happened because of you, so I can't let you off lightly. From today on, I will follow your parents."

be punished."

After saying this, the Queen Mother was about to leave. Shao Ziqing moved her body and knelt down to the Queen Mother, pleading: "Your Majesty, all this is my fault alone and has nothing to do with my parents. The Queen Mother wants to kill or cut into pieces."

I am here alone, and please forgive my parents. They are old and their bodies cannot withstand such punishment."

The Queen Mother stopped, looked at Shao Ziqing coldly and said: "The reason why the Ai family punished your parents is because your parents failed to take good care of Yao'er, and secondly they failed to teach you a rebellious son. They will definitely punish you."

, I will be punished with you, the Aijia wants you to witness with your own eyes the consequences of your mistakes! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want in Kyoto!"

After saying this, the Queen Mother wandered away directly.

The Queen Mother wanted to teach Shao Ziqing a lesson. She knew that this would be more painful than killing him. He had been doing whatever he wanted in Kyoto for many years without any hindrance and did not put anyone in her eyes. The Queen Mother wanted to tell him that in his life

On the head, there is a royal family!

The Queen Mother walked out of the east courtyard door, and Eunuch Cui followed beside her and asked: "The Queen Mother will not look at the Young Madam anymore?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Seeing the pitiful appearance of the child makes the Ai family feel uncomfortable. Let her have a good rest. You have been busy these days. Come out of the palace in person to see the Shao family being punished. This time, you must let her have a good rest.

Shao Ziqing, that kid has a long memory!"

Cui Gonggong immediately responded: "Yes, I obey the order."

I got on the phoenix chariot when I left the house. The royal guard of honor was always huge. The phoenix chariot was surrounded by guards from the Imperial City. Thirty or forty people rode on horseback, plus a dozen accompanying servants and maids. The formation was huge and attracted many people.

Many people gathered around to watch.

The people were all curious about what they were doing when they suddenly left the palace and came to Shao Mansion, but there was no need to worry. As the saying goes, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the most indispensable thing in Kyoto was gossip after dinner. Within three days, the whole city would definitely know about this.

After struggling for a long time, as soon as the Queen Mother entered the palace, she saw the little maid from her palace running over and reported: "To the Queen Mother, Your Majesty already knows about your leaving the palace, and Your Majesty has sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly."

The Queen Mother's eyes turned cold and she ordered: "Let's go to the Yangxin Hall."

Eunuch Cui asked: "Won't the Queen Mother go back and have a rest?"

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "The emperor prefers that child Shao Ziqing. If he knew it, then the Ai family's good intentions today would be in vain."

When Eunuch Cui heard this, he immediately ordered the people carrying the phoenix chariot to change direction and head towards the Yangxin Hall.

When they arrived at the Yangxin Hall, a luxurious palace, the emperor was sitting on the dragon's roof, reading the memorials. The Queen Mother was a little tired because of the incident, and when she came in, she held Eunuch Cui's hand and walked a little slowly.

When the emperor saw that the Queen Mother had arrived, he quickly put down the memorial and stepped forward, saying: "My sons, please see your mother."

The Queen Mother found a chair, sat down slowly, looked at her son who was nearly fifty years old, and breathed a deep sigh of relief: "There is no need to send people to find out where the Ai family went and what they did today, and there is no need to worry about your son outside the palace.

His safety is in danger, he is also the grandson of the Ai family, and the Ai family has its own sense of proportion."

When the emperor heard the Queen Mother's words, his face darkened and he said: "Mother, Qing'er, he is still injured after all. I am thinking..."

"The Ai family knows what you are thinking!" The Queen Mother directly interrupted the emperor and reminded: "If your son doesn't discipline him anymore, he will be dead!"

There was no one else in the Yangxin Hall at this moment, so what the Queen Mother said was more straightforward, and because she was tired, the Queen Mother didn't want to waste any more words.

The Queen Mother frowned, with a sad look on her face, and said earnestly: "As the saying goes, pampering and pleasure produce bitter fruits, while hard work and simplicity produce talents. You are indulging Shao Ziqing in this way, but you are harming him!"

While speaking, the Queen Mother put her hands on the table, and the jade bracelet on her wrist made a crisp sound, but this did not affect the Queen Mother's thoughts. She looked at the emperor's face and shook her head and said: "The Ai family rarely mentions that child to you, so...

You should know what your children have done over the years, but how did you do it? If you let them do whatever they want, will you be able to repay them in the long run?"

In front of the Queen Mother, the supreme emperor is also very reserved. He is the son of the Queen Mother and has been educated by the Queen Mother since childhood. In his eyes, his mother is strict and cannot be exceeded in the slightest. To this day, he regards his own

My mother is still in awe.

The emperor looked sad and said: "The queen mother also knows that the son and minister feel guilty for the child. According to Concubine Shu's last wish, he cannot fulfill his father's responsibilities."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt it was ridiculous: "Go and see Shao Ziqing now. Doesn't she look like Concubine Shu at all? Back then, the Ai family told you not to raise that child in a chaotic place like Kyoto, but you didn't

Listen, if you listen to Aijia's words, find a secluded place, and be a happy young master, why not be happy."

The emperor's bright yellow robe was embroidered with a picture of a dragon rising over the sea, and his flying eyebrows were slightly raised. However, in front of the Queen Mother, his god-like majesty and inherent nobility dimmed in an instant.
