Chapter 1016 Far Worse than the Queen

"I remember everything." Xue Yiru said shyly.

She was so gentle and considerate, and the Empress Dowager became even more satisfied.

She asked someone to bring a pair of bracelets to her and said with a smile: "This is what the Ai family used when they were young. If you don't mind being old, just take it."

Xue Yiru was a little frightened, and quickly stood up and took it with both hands, saying, "How can I be qualified to use the things that belong to my mother?"

"Just take it. It's not a good thing. But... it was given to the Ai family by Shu'er's father after the Ai family gave birth to Shu'er. It's been... more than twenty years." The Queen Mother recalled the past with some emotion.

When Xue Yiru heard that this thing was so precious and meaningful, she held it in her hands and said, "I must keep it carefully."

The Empress Dowager looked at her for a few times and said with a smile: "You do look similar to the Queen, but there are still some differences."

Xue Yiru pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This is all praise from others. In fact, my appearance is far worse than that of the Queen, and I know it in my heart."

"That's not what you said. The Queen is good-looking, but you are not bad either." The Empress Dowager smiled, "You just don't know how to dress up."

The delicate red and pink she specially wore today looks fine on its own, but once she stands next to the unusually white queen who is set off by azure blue, it looks a bit tacky.

Xue Yiru looked down at herself and blushed a little: "I am always like this when I am at home."

"You are no longer at home. Since you are married to a man, you should learn to please him." The Queen Mother said, "My own man, this is not a shameful thing."

"I...don't know what to do."

"Silly boy, you are a simple person. Of course, no one will teach you this in the boudoir. From now on, you have to center everything on your man. Whatever he likes, you will be." The Queen Mother said, "Man By your side, we'll be together for a long time, and you're not ugly and stupid, so why can't you win back a man's heart?"

Xue Yiru lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law understands."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

…

Yun Dai and Zhao Yuanjing separated halfway.

Zhao Yuanjing had to go to the former court to handle government affairs, while Yun Dai returned to Fengyi Palace.

As soon as she came back, she saw Guo Ning standing under a willow tree at the entrance of Fengyi Palace, motionless and looking a little confused.

"Aning, why are you standing there?" Yun Dai called her, "Are you coming to me? Come and sit in the room."

Guo Ning slowly turned around, glanced at her, and stood still.

Yun Dai felt a little puzzled, so she asked Qing Yi and Zi Yi to go back first. She walked up to Guo Ning and saw that her eyes were red and there were tears on her face.

She was taken aback, took her hand and asked: "Aning, what's wrong with you?"

Guo Ning was stunned and whispered: "Yun'er, I want to ask you something."

"you say."

"Do you know that Baoxing and Yuzhu are eating in pairs?" Her face was filled with sadness. "You know, right? How could they dare to eat in pairs without your permission?"

Yun Dai said: "I know, it happened two days ago. I think Baoxing should tell you this in person."

Guo Ning suddenly became very disappointed: "Yun'er, how could you allow this kind of thing? And you didn't even say anything to me. You clearly know... you clearly know my relationship with Baoxing."
