Chapter 246 The queen mother also wants Xiaoxiao to have children
Xiao Cui urged on the side.
"it is good."
Shangguan smiled and nodded.
After dressing up, Xiao Cui turned around and left.
Shangguan smiled and looked at Xiaocui's retreating back, frowning slightly, and his heart was full of doubts.
She really couldn't understand why the Queen Mother would suddenly look for her, and she even hosted a banquet. Could it be that there was something important to discuss with her?
However, she has just returned to the palace.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiaoxiao always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
However, I don't know what the problem is.
No matter what, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the soil!
Thinking of this, Shangguan smiled and took a deep breath, then walked out of the bedroom.
Inside the Cining Palace.
The queen mother was sitting on a high seat drinking tea, and when she saw Shangguan smilingly come in, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.
"See the Empress Dowager."
"No need to be polite, Concubine Xi, Aijia called you over today, just to chat with you."
The queen mother waved at Shangguan with a smile and motioned her to sit beside her.
"Thank you Queen Mother."
Shangguan smiled slightly, then came to her side and sat down.
While tasting the fragrant tea in her hand, the queen mother asked, "By the way, Concubine Xi, how long have you been in the palace?"
Hearing this sentence, Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a suspicious feeling emerged in his heart.
However, she quickly responded.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it has been more than a year since the concubine entered the palace. Excluding the period of time away from the palace, it is almost a year."
Hearing this, the empress dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked lightly, "What do you think of the emperor?"
"this."
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's heart sank for a while, and he was at a loss for words for a while.
"What? Don't know how to answer Ai's question?"
The empress dowager looked at Shangguan with a burning gaze and smiled.
Shangguan smiled and had to bite the bullet and said: "Back to the empress dowager, the emperor is a good man."
"Really? Aijia doesn't think so, right?"
When the queen mother heard the words, she sighed.
[What does the queen mother mean?Should I say the emperor is not good? 】
[No, it's disrespectful to the emperor, so you can't lose your head? 】
【Is she testing me? 】
Thinking of this, a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on Shangguan Xiaoxiao's forehead.
She tried hard to calm down her uneasy mood, then raised her head to look at the queen mother, and slowly asked, "I don't understand, what does the queen mother mean?"
"Aijia thinks that you have been with the emperor for so long, but you don't even have a child. I think you don't like children!"
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She never thought that the Queen Mother would suddenly mention this matter.
What does this make her do?
If she admits it, not only her, but the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be ashamed because of her.
If she denies it, the queen mother will definitely use it as an excuse to blame her.
For a while, Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't know how to make a choice, just lowered his head, and his cheeks were full of embarrassment.
All the expressions on her face fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother sighed softly and said, "Alas, Aijia thought you young people like children! So you don't."
"The queen mother. This is not what the concubine means, but the concubine is not ready, so."
Shangguan smiled and explained quickly.
"Concubine Xi, since you have married into the royal family, you must continue the incense for the royal family. This is your responsibility."
The queen mother looked kindly.
Shangguan smiled, his lips parted slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
【Good guy!Did I fall into the pit of having a baby?Why do they all want me to have children, Xiao Qi, Feng Lingzun, and now even the Empress Dowager...]
Thinking of this, Shangguan smiled and rubbed his forehead in distress.
Seeing Shangguan's smile, the empress dowager couldn't help but froze, and then she glared at her pretending to be annoyed, "Concubine Xi, what do you mean? Don't you want to give birth to offspring for the royal family?"
"No, no, the concubine definitely doesn't mean this, and the concubine will definitely work hard to give birth to offspring for the emperor."
Shangguan smiled when he saw this, and hurriedly put on a superficial effort to coax the queen mother.
Actually inside.
[Woooooo~ I want to leave the palace, I don't want to give birth to a child for the dog emperor, okay! 】
Seeing Shangguan's cute smile, a satisfied smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
"Well, that's good!"
The queen mother reached out and patted Shangguan Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and then continued: "However, don't be discouraged, Aijia believes that sooner or later, you will be able to conceive a dragon seed."
"Uh~~"
The corners of Shangguan Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched a few times, and he was a little dumbfounded.
However, she also knew that the queen mother was kind, so she couldn't refuse again, so she nodded with a smile.
"By the way, did you know that there is a report from the front line today, saying that the Great Wu Kingdom took the opportunity to attack our border?"
"what?"
Shangguan smiled and was surprised when he heard the words, "How is this possible?"
"The emperor told Ai's family about this. He also said that he was going to personally lead troops to guard the border gates to defend the territory and border gates of our dynasty, and would never let anyone invade."
"What? The emperor will personally lead troops to guard the border?"
Shangguan smiled and heard the words, and was even more shocked.
She never thought that Feng Lingzun would actually make such a bold move.
"Yeah, Concubine Xi, what's wrong with you? Do you think the emperor's behavior is inappropriate?"
Seeing Shangguan's smiling expression, a look of doubt appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
Shangguan smiled when he heard the words, came back to his senses, and then quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, His Majesty the emperor did the right thing, but the concubine felt a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"The concubine is worried that the Great Wu Kingdom will take the opportunity to start a war."
"I have considered this, but the emperor is not afraid of the Great Wu Kingdom."
"why?"
Shangguan asked with a doubtful smile.
"Because the emperor is sure to defeat the Great Wu Kingdom, if he is not sure, how dare he rashly lead the army to the south?"
[But even so, the two countries are at war, blood is flowing in rivers, and it is the common people who suffer! 】
Shangguan Xiaoxiao immediately thought of Grandma Li and her grandson.
It is said that Grandma Li died the day after she returned to the palace.
If it weren't for the war, Grandma Li wouldn't have to endure the pain of being separated from her grandson, and she wouldn't have to think about him before she died.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager's eyes flickered slightly.
"Concubine Xi, what's wrong with you? Do you think the emperor's decision this time is a little hasty, so you feel very worried?"
"um, yes."
Shangguan smiled and nodded, and said seriously.
"Anyway, Dawu Kingdom is the enemy. If Dawu Kingdom breaks through the border, we will be completely passive."
"So, in order to prevent the Great Wu Kingdom from invading our territory, we must find a way to make the two countries friendly."
