The Queen Mother's message was delivered the next day.

Looking at the red coral that the palace officials brought in, which was three feet high, four feet wide and three and a half feet thick, my mouth opened wider than the dozens of luminous pearls dotted on the red coral tree.

The ornaments hanging on the red branches include, in addition to luminous pearls, crystal jade such as emerald and amber, as well as various shining gems and round pearls.

Darling, everything on this is money!

I swallowed.

"Whale, your stepmother really loves you. She has given you so many good things."

Lin Jingyu was as surprised as I was, and said with thin lips: "This is... a gift given to my mother by my father on her thirtieth birthday..."

"...how old were you then?"

"Ten years old." Lin Jingyu spoke subconsciously, staring at the red coral tree intoxicatedly. For a moment, his thoughts seemed to have drifted back to that lively and festive day eight years ago. At that time, his father was still alive...

"Oh." Looking at the confused expression on his face, I nodded clearly. This guy reminds me of his parents. So, the Queen Mother is thirty-eight years old now? But she looks less than thirty years old.

The appearance of the palace is really nourishing. No wonder so many women are vying to sit in that position. Those who can't sit are probably gone...

But I still have doubts in my heart: The emperor is not the Queen Mother’s biological son, so does she need to donate such an important treasure? Any antique in the Guangning Palace can be compared with the gifts of other concubines, or even surpassed.

Moreover, judging from their interactions during this period, the Queen Mother is not as mean and unkind as Lin Jingyu said. Although she is not very reasonable, the last time she wanted the stick without asking anything about the Sixth Prince.

She blamed 'Jingyue'...but that was what she did to protect her son. After all, 'Jingyue' at that time was just a little palace maid, and had not yet been canonized, nor had she recognized such a powerful person.

Dad, who is well aware of current affairs, it is easy for the Queen Mother to touch her. But in the end, didn't she spare Jingyue because of my favour? It shows that she is still very afraid of the status of the emperor, at least she will not openly disagree.

In the end, in order to silence the public, dozens of palace officials were allowed to disappear, thus saving the royal family's face.

With the existence of such a powerful woman, the harem can even be said to be balanced and stable. So, where does Lin Jingyu's disgust and resentment towards her come from?

I thought about it seriously, and probably, this is the only possibility...

"Whale, what kind of woman is your concubine?"

Perhaps it touched his sad place, Lin Jingyu frowned slightly, his dreamy little face immediately sank, and his misty eyes returned to coldness. He glanced at me coldly, and said in a rough voice: "Go over there.

I can’t remember clearly what happened!” After saying that, he walked away and turned around to go into the inner room to read the memorials that were not very nutritious.

Looking at his thin back, with a bit of desolate coldness, I couldn't bear it. Turning my face and staring at those shining gems, I suddenly felt that the Queen Mother's thoughts were impossible to guess.

Is she trying to show favor to us? Or is she giving us a warning? She made such a big move right away... or is she satirizing the small thoughts of 'Chu Yingyue'? She has been in the harem for many years to get to where she is today.

Judging from her experience, she might have guessed something.

I have to discuss with Qin Murong what to do next.

****

"What? The Queen Mother really gave you her favorite coral-red eight-treasure tree?"

Qin Murong's face was full of surprise.

I nodded. It turns out that this thing has a famous name.

"So - she acquiesces to our actions?" Qin Murong's face was filled with calculations.

"What if she has her own plans? Lin Jingyu is the unlucky one in the end!" It's not that I haven't considered the consequences of doing this. Confusing the dragon's veins and pretending to be pregnant to defraud everyone's trust and care are both capital crimes for deceiving the emperor.

If some ministers really come forward to read the book "Jin Fei Empress", I, the imposter emperor, will not be able to bear the burden and walk away. I can't tell the ministers that I have a share in this bad idea, right?

"Instead of worrying about this, let's worry about his safety! Have you noticed anything unusual recently?" Qin Murong didn't seem to be worried about the Queen Mother's attitude at all, and asked about Lin Jingyu's situation instead.

"Nothing, I just received ginseng that had been soaked in unknown potion and dried, and some obviously good supplements. But when combined together, pregnant women may suffer from miscarriage, but ordinary people can strengthen their bodies.

"So, I took all those high-end supplements. "Would you like some too?" I asked insincerely. But in fact, I was thinking: It's better for me to eat it for you! If it doesn't work, I can take it outside.

Sell ​​it for money! The price of one century-old ginseng can support an average family of five for several years!

"Haha..." As if he had seen through my thoughts, Qin Murong did not really ask me for precious medicinal materials. He only laughed softly, "This method is the most common. Can't we use something different? If this is the case,

Women's IQ is only this small, which means that the forces behind them are not very good either. I really can't bring myself to abolish them."

"You guys had a good time." Lin Jingyu came in without knowing when, his face was gloomy, his piercing eyes rested on me for a moment, and then he turned to Qin Murong, his face full of annoyance.

"Your Majesty." Qin Murong had to stand up and salute because the palace maid accompanying him also came in.

I waved my hand to dismiss the rest of the crowd, and personally stepped forward to take off Lin Jingyu's hooded cloak, casually hanging it on the hanger, and then took his hand and pulled him to sit next to the brazier.

"Why are your hands so cold? Don't we all carry heaters when we go out?" Looking at the little blue and white hands, which were so cold that there was no trace of warmth, I felt a little distressed, so I held them tightly in my hands to keep him warm. Then I put them in front of my mouth, and put them in front of my mouth.

He exhaled to drive away the cold.

Lin Jingyu struggled for a moment, but did not break free. He could only pretend not to care and turned around and said calmly:

"Just now, I almost fell down."

I was slightly startled, and Qin Murong looked at each other quickly, and asked in disbelief, "Did someone else push me, or did I just not stand up properly?"

"No one pushed me. At that time, there was no one else beside me except Wei Lan who was accompanying me..." Lin Jingyu hesitated for a while and then said: "It's just that Wei Lan stood aside and didn't move. I was holding her outstretched arm.

Barely able to stand still..."

"Is it slipping under your feet?" This happens often on snowy days.

Lin Jingyu shook his head, "I don't know what happened. I just felt that my knees suddenly went numb and I was about to kneel down..."

A hole in the air?!
