Today's officials are in their forties, and Mrs. Sheng is in her fifties, and the queen is a few years younger than Mrs. Sheng. Mrs. Sheng was raised in the palace when she was young, and the queen also met Mrs. Sheng when she was a girl when she was a child.
The old lady Sheng and the queen are just a few years apart. The old lady Sheng is now full of children and grandchildren, but the queen has no children and no daughters in her life. So far, there is only one married Princess Fukang living in the official harem.
In the years after the queen entered the palace, the three princes of the official family died prematurely, and only one eldest princess survived the eight daughters.
Although the queen is quite famous outside, she raised three princes of the official family to death, and the eight princesses of the official family only lived the first daughter; I am afraid that the queen's reputation is yet to be investigated.
Lin Yishuang quietly glanced at the queen out of the corner of his eye. Just by looking at her appearance, she knew that the queen was a disaster.
The queen's words just now sounded like she was boasting that the old lady was lucky. When Ke Lin Yishuang and the others heard it, it was not just the queen boasting the old lady, but something else.
One is the old lady with children and grandchildren, and the other is the queen with no children and daughters; the difference in age is just a few years. Did the queen see that the old lady Sheng really boasted about the old lady? Is the queen not jealous? Lin Yishuang doubted this in her heart.
Hearing the voice of the old lady Sheng, Lin Yishuang tightened her expression.
I heard Madam Sheng say, "Empress has a good memory, but I am old and have had a few illnesses, so my memory is not very good."
Mrs. Sheng demoted herself and changed the subject. Lin Yishuang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Mrs. Sheng grew up in the palace, she should believe that Mrs. Sheng is.
Empress: "I look at the old lady, your body looks quite tough."
Madam Sheng: "I'm getting old, this is middle-aged and useless."
No matter what the queen said, as long as it was related to the heirs, the old lady Sheng always tried to find a way to go around it, and never said a word about the heirs.
After the queen talked to Mrs. Sheng for a while, she spoke to Aunt Wang again, and Aunt Wang was flattered.
If Lin Yanchuang was just nervous when the queen talked to Old Lady Sheng, Lin Yanchuang was afraid when the queen talked to Aunt Wang. Because Aunt Wang is really not a smart person.
Empress: "I heard that your eldest girl has already agreed to kiss?"
Aunt Wang: "Yes. Hua Lan, the eldest daughter of the minister, has already agreed on a marriage with the second son of the Zhongqin Palace, and we just need to wait for the appointment period."
Empress: "Big girl, gentle and elegant, dignified and graceful, knowledgeable and reasonable; a good girl brought up by big lady."
"Thank you for your praise. It's still your discerning eyes that know pearls." Aunt Wang got up excitedly and thanked Empress. Sheng Hualan and Lin Yishuang didn't even see it.
The empress obviously didn't know that Aunt Wang was such a straight person, and she was embarrassed for a while.
Empress: "Hehe, the eldest lady is really straightforward."
Lin Yishuang: Does this mean that Aunt Wang is stupid?
Aunt Wang: "Our old lady was also a famous lady in Bianliang City back then. We Hualan were brought up by our old lady and taught by herself. Although we Hualan grew up in Yangzhou, we are no worse than the girls of the Qing family in Bianjing..."
Aunt Wang stopped when she boasted about her daughter, until Hua Lan couldn't help tugging at her sleeve: "Mother, stop talking."
Aunt Wang looked back, Sheng Hualan had long blushed.
Sheng Hualan whispered to Aunt Wang, who looked up at the queen, and she smiled awkwardly.
"The eldest lady is really a good mother who loves her children." The queen is the queen after all, and she didn't care about Aunt Wang, but praised Aunt Wang instead. However, the women of the Sheng family are the family members of meritorious ministers, and the queen should be extra tolerant.
Lin Yishuang and the others naturally wouldn't know how the queen really was, but the current queen was very generous and decent, tolerant and benevolent.
Aunt Wang: "The empress is falsely praised, and the minister does not dare to be." Aunt Wang did not dare to say more. In fact, Aunt Wang is self-aware and knows her own shortcomings.
After the queen praised Aunt Wang, Hua Lan, and Rulan, the queen's eyes fell on Lin Yishuang.
