Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 749: First Meeting with the Queen Mother

The male protagonist looked at the smiling little girl, put on a slightly stiff smile, and took her out of the hall.

In an instant, as if a switch had been turned on in the Golden Palace, several officials could not wait to come out, holding up memorials, and shouting one after another: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to make!"

Little Yining held the small seal in her hand and followed closely behind the male protagonist. She tilted her head and curiously glanced at the officials who were suddenly in high spirits, and she did not forget to tear the male protagonist's heart out with her mouth: "Second uncle, don't you have the ability to make a petition?"

"This king doesn't care."

Sheng Jingzhan lowered his eyes and replied, then met the little kid's puzzled look, as if asking, "Are you so free?"

The hero suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and his eyes, like a little kid, quickly swept over the ministers who were arguing over state affairs.

A trace of ambition flashed across his eyes, but he then retracted his gaze, walked out of the Golden Palace without looking around, and met Li Anhe who was waiting outside the palace.

Li Anhe took his granddaughter's hand and handed the seal in her hand to Zhao Ya. He then scratched her nose and gently reminded her, "Qing Jie'er, when your uncle leaves the court later, remember to thank him. No one will dare to underestimate you for his arrangement today."

"Don't worry, grandma!" Little Yining responded obediently.

At the same time, the housekeeper's heart suddenly came out, and she added: "Qing Jie'er will also thank grandma for her share."

Li Anhe: …

Sheng Jingzhan was amused by the child's childish words. He made a gesture of invitation: "Cousin, Qingjie, please follow me to pay respect to the Queen Mother."

Li Anhe smiled slightly unnaturally, glared at his talkative granddaughter with a reproachful look, then picked her up and walked towards the palace where the Queen Mother was.

At this moment, the increasingly loud arguing sounds in the Golden Palace reached the ears of the three people and attracted the little boy's great attention.

I heard a strange official loudly propose: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Chief Justice Lu Cheng'an has not been heard from for many days. Dali Temple is busy with affairs. I beg Your Majesty to approve Shangguan Junyang to temporarily take over the position of Chief Justice."

As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately responded to by many officials, but it was also mixed with fierce opposition.

"I don't agree! There are two junior officials in the Dali Temple. Although Shangguan Junyang has served for many years, in terms of ability, Lord Chenpi is more suitable for the position of senior official."

The little girl's eyebrows slightly raised, and she quickly looked into the Golden Palace, only to see Liu Yang leading a group of imperial censors, confronting those officials who had made the proposal. They were like shrews quarreling in the vegetable market, each insisting on their own opinions and trying their best to win the acting position of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

Xiao Yining: (￣-￣), she can be said to have participated in the highest meeting!

She looked at the father and son sitting high on the dragon throne.

The old baby had a blank expression on his face, but he lazily supported his chin and looked down, obviously he was used to it.

The naughty kid sitting next to him was obviously shocked by this scene, staring at the officials who were spitting everywhere in amazement.

Just at this moment, the emperor's deep eyes moved. He slightly side-glanced at the dumbfounded prince, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the little kid who had not walked far away.

Xiao Yining: ...

The little boy quickly smiled brightly, waved his chubby hand, then turned around and no longer paid attention to the disputes in the court.

However, when her eyes fell on the male protagonist's back, she couldn't suppress her nosy heart. She tilted her head to the crook of grandma's neck and murmured with a little sadness: "Grandma, they said that Sister Lu's father is gone!"

Li Anhe sighed at the impermanence of life and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Qing, the matter has not yet been concluded. Lord Lu may be fine."

Sheng Jingzhan's soothing voice also came slowly: "Sister Qing, Lord Lu is not dead. He must have been missing and has not been found yet."

When Xiao Yining heard this, she seemed to be comforted by the male protagonist's words. She responded with an "oh" and smiled shyly at his back with an expectant expression, as if she was looking forward to her first meeting with the empress dowager.

At this time, the male protagonist also slightly turned sideways, glanced at her, and continued to walk forward without any doubt.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the palace where the Queen Mother was.

At this time, it was not yet daybreak, the distant sky was just beginning to turn pale, but the palace was already brightly lit and filled with laughter.

Li Mingzhu was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, with a kind smile on her face, leaning on a soft couch.

She slowly glanced at the concubines who came to pay their respects, enjoying this rare moment of being flattered. In her seemingly gentle eyes, there was a hint of smugness that was hard to detect.

However, this beauty was abruptly interrupted by the hurried footsteps of a palace maid.

"Empress Dowager, Prince Yu has come to pay his respects to you with Princess Jiahe and Princess Le'an!"

As soon as the words fell, the concubines' laughter stopped abruptly, and they exchanged complex and obscure looks.

Li Mingzhu, who had long been out of touch with the outside world, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when she saw this scene, but she didn't show it on her face and still looked kind.

She adjusted her sitting posture slightly and said in a light voice, "Ah Zhan should be attending the court meeting with his brother right now. Why did this child come so early? I won't run away!"

Then, she frowned slightly and said to herself in confusion: "I have been recuperating from illness and have stayed indoors for many years. I didn't know that there are two more princesses in Yanjing? Why don't you invite the two princesses in so that I can take a closer look."

Not long after he finished speaking, the three people outside the hall walked into the hall.

The still charming Li Anhe instantly caught Li Mingzhu's eye. The latter's pupils suddenly contracted, and her expression changed drastically, as if she was greatly frightened. She exclaimed in disbelief: "Zhizhi, how come you are still alive..."

Li Anhe stopped when he heard the voice, put his granddaughter on the ground, and bowed respectfully to the woman on the couch with her: "Li Anhe (Lin Yining) pays homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Li Mingzhu stared at the man who should have been dead long ago, her mind went blank for a moment, and she even forgot that the two of them had stood up. No one of the concubines sitting around reminded them, and their eyes flickered between the two of them.

The atmosphere around seemed to be frozen at this moment, and there was silence.

Finally, it was Prince Yu who explained, "Mother, my cousin returned to Yanjing with her family when she was 18 years old last year, and I don't remember much about the past!"

Bring your family?

Only then did Li Mingzhu notice that the little kid beside her niece was secretly looking up at her. The kid looked 30% similar to her niece.

She quickly calmed down her shock and glanced at her youngest son with a hint of complaint: "You two brothers are really something. No one told me such a big thing as Zhizhi being alive. If you had told me earlier, my illness might have been cured a long time ago!"

After she finished speaking, she held out her hand to Li Anhe with tears in her eyes, choking up and saying, "Zhizhi, my child, come to your aunt. Back then, your aunt gave you the white silk out of a moment of confusion, and afterwards she regretted it so much. She felt so guilty towards her elder brother and his wife every day, couldn't sleep at night, and often cried."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Li Anhe's eyes. He stood up, took his granddaughter's hand, and walked towards the woman on the couch.

An indescribable emotion flashed across Li Mingzhu's eyes, and she continued meaningfully, "It's good to be alive. Chen'er has been estranged from me for many years because of you. I blame myself for not letting him and you get married. Now he should forgive me."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked around at the concubines in the hall.

What she didn't expect was that no one was willing to respond to her gaze, and no one responded to her words. They all turned their eyes away.

A hint of annoyance inevitably flashed across Li Mingzhu's face, but she was considerate and returned to normal in the blink of an eye. She pulled her niece who was approaching to her side and motioned for her to sit down.

The little kid who was ignored by her saw these scenes, and she immediately understood that it seemed that the empress dowager really hated her grandmother. She didn't put her grandmother to death at the beginning, and now she wanted to induce others to stage a palace fighting drama.

Xiao Yining: ???, it turns out that the women in the palace are not easy to deal with!
