　　 Although the temple is not as good as the palace, the wing room where the queen mother lives is still well designed.

　　The room is spacious and quiet. There is also a small Buddhist hall for the queen mother to worship at any time. There are incense burning on the table. The smell of sandalwood, which is like the sandalwood for offering to Buddha, can make people feel calm.

　　"It has been three years since the queen entered the palace, right?" The queen mother sat on the main seat, one hand on the table, and the other hand twisting the Buddhist beads. Her expression did not look unusual, as if she was really asked to chat for a few words.

　　When Yan Zhaozhao heard this question, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, but she still pretended to be respectful. "Yes."

　　Sure enough, the next second she heard the queen mother say: "It has been three years, and the queen still has no heirs." She sighed lightly, "I believe you also know the rules that have been passed down in our Sheng Dynasty. The throne of the Sheng Dynasty is only passed on to the legitimate heirs. Now only you can give birth to the next monarch of the Sheng Dynasty, but look at what you have done?"

　　The queen mother's tone has a bit more meaning of disappointment. "The emperor still hasn't stayed in Fengyi Palace once. You never take the initiative to invite the emperor to your palace. If this continues, does the queen want my Great Sheng Dynasty to have no successor?!"

　　Yan Zhaozhao knelt down hurriedly, with an extremely embarrassed tone, "Mother, the emperor hates me so much, why should I appear in front of the emperor to upset him." After three years in the palace, the queen mother brought up this matter today. I think she is planning something.

　　But Yan Zhaozhao hates the emperor to such an extent that she would feel irritated and disgusted even if she was just in the same place with him, let alone having sex with him.

　　Hearing that the emperor hated Yan Zhaozhao, the queen mother looked unnatural for a moment, but it was fleeting. In an instant, she returned to her usual appearance. "The emperor likes beauty, and the queen is so attractive. As long as you put some thought into it, the emperor will eventually see you."

　　Seeing her lower her head and keep silent, the queen mother thought that Yan Zhaozhao had taken her words to heart, so she continued, "There are so many women in the harem, but you are the only one who is the master of the harem. No matter who the emperor favors, he will not surpass you. Even if those concubines are pregnant with children, they will never be made the prince. You only need to fight for your dignity and give birth to a prince, and you can be honored as a mother and live a glorious life."

　　"Do you know that this is an opportunity that many noble ladies dream of? You must cherish it."

　　Yan Zhaozhao's hands on her waist clenched tighter and tighter, and her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

　　Giving birth to a prince will make you glorious for a lifetime?

　　How many noble ladies dream of this opportunity?

　　Has anyone asked her if Yan Zhaozhao wanted such a shitty opportunity? !

　　Just like before, her so-called relatives forced her to marry the emperor for the sake of interests, and no one ever asked her if she was willing. Family affection is not worth mentioning in front of interests.

　　"Queen, did you understand what I said today?"

　　Yan Zhaozhao closed her eyes, bit her lower lip, and said slowly after a while, "I understand." The
