044 The Queen Mother and the Prince
Lin Jingyu...what exactly are you hiding from me?
Standing on the corridor, staring at the two looming figures on the terrace from a distance, I wrung my handkerchief unwillingly.
They really knew each other!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" Xiao Linzi, who was standing aside, said tremblingly.
"Shut up!" I shouted impatiently.
I’m unhappy, I feel super unhappy! The little whale has never trusted me! I’ve been so kind to him in vain! But he is always thinking about how to destroy me! Damn it!
I twisted the handkerchief into a twist and held it tightly in my hand. I turned around and left with a gloomy face.
There was a figure following step by step behind me. I frowned and glanced back, but it turned out to be Xiao Linzi.
"Don't follow me, I want to be alone for a while." I said in a bad tone. "There are other people, please leave too!"
All the maids and palace attendants bowed respectfully and left. Only Xiao Linzi remained where he was.
"What, Mr. Lin has something to report to Zhen Lin?" I looked at him inexplicably.
A few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, he bowed and said softly: "Your Majesty, the little sleeve is still in your hand." After saying that, he looked at his nose, nose and heart, and did not dare to breathe out.
, waiting carefully.
I lowered my head to look at the twist-shaped object in my hand, twitched the corner of my mouth, immediately let go, slapped him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "This dress is made of good material and feels good. Make me a set another day.
Wear normal clothes!" After saying that, he deliberately ignored the twitching corners of Xiao Linzi's eyes and hurriedly walked away.
Xiao Linzi glanced meaningfully at the figure behind the bead curtain on the terrace in the distance, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the depths of the palace.
******
"The young one wishes to see the Queen Mother who is a thousand years old and a thousand years old."
The graceful and elegant woman who was leaning on the lazy man glanced at the figure kneeling outside the bead curtain and said lazily: "Get up." The man outside the bead curtain straightened his clothes and stood solemnly.
He stood up, still maintaining a respectful posture, and said in a high-pitched voice:
"Empress Lin, Your Majesty has not turned over the cards for nearly a month."
"The Ai family already knows about this matter. It is for this matter that the Ai family returned to the palace." There was no emotion or anger in the Queen Mother's calm voice.
She picked up the Tenglong Xiangyun lotus cup, took a sip of fragrant tea, pondered for a while, and then continued: "That woman - just a maid?"
"Ms. Lin, this is absolutely true. This woman has no prominent background. She is the dowry maid of the late Concubine Yun."
"The Emperor is really with her..." The Queen Mother paused, and the man standing outside the curtain with his hands lowered understood, and immediately replied: "The Emperor dotes on her every night, and never lets her leave Zhengyang Palace one day." Across the beads.
I couldn't quite see the Queen Mother's expression clearly, but the person who replied was extremely alert, for fear of saying the wrong word or saying the wrong thing.
"Is that true?" The Queen Mother sneered.
"..." The man thought for a while and then replied: "The emperor and the woman have all the food, clothing, housing and transportation together. It's just that when it's time to go to bed, the emperor will send everyone away, leaving only a nun who holds the lamp."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother suddenly became interested.
"However, that Aunt Zhang is deaf. She has only good eyesight and nimble hands and feet, but her tone of voice is very tight."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows.
Does that guy want to cover up something? Or is there some ulterior secret between him and that woman? Things don't seem to be as bad as he thought. Maybe the emperor has his own reasons? But look at his attitude towards the woman
, but it doesn’t seem to be fake.
The emperor really hurt that woman to the core.
However, the woman's attitude toward the emperor could not be described as affectionate. Instead, she felt like she was being coerced and controlled, which was different from the ardent expectations of the other concubines in the harem for the emperor.
For a young man as handsome as the current emperor, who is also the king of a country, not only has a distinguished status, but also rarely falls in love with one person, what else can the woman be dissatisfied with? Unless - she has a sweetheart? But even if she had one before
My sweetheart, now in the harem, is the emperor's woman! Whether she wants it or not, since the emperor wants her wholeheartedly, why not add fuel to the fire and help him?
After all, there is only one person that I really love in my heart...
"Mother, the emperor has come to visit you."
A slender and handsome blue figure approached outside the hall. Under the sunlight, a layer of vague moonlight-like luster appeared, and it was like the sparkling waves of ice-blue lake water. That valiant and heroic figure, unparalleled elegance,
It's so dazzling that it almost burns the human eye.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and waved to the man standing quietly behind the bead curtain, who immediately bowed and left without saying a word.
When Lin Wenyu stepped into the palace, he glanced sideways at the figure who had retreated to the side door. With a smile on his face, he said loudly: "Someone is gossiping about the Queen Mother again. Could it be my brother the emperor who did it again?
It must be something serious."
"Wenyu, you are talking nonsense again!" the Queen Mother said coquettishly.
"How can I not! Your Majesty passed by the Imperial Garden just now, and when you saw some of the imperial wives, they were all complaining to me, complaining about the emperor's brother!" Lin Wenyu walked closer and sat down beside the Queen Mother generously, minding his own business.
He picked up a cup, poured tea and drank.
"Hey, now that the emperor only loves one person, your sisters-in-law are jealous! It is not our turn to worry about the emperor's affairs!" The Queen Mother said calmly, but there was a look of loneliness on her face.
"The Queen Mother doesn't like that palace maid, right?" Lin Wenyu said casually.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "So what if you don't like her. It's up to others to make irresponsible remarks about the woman the Emperor likes."
"The Queen Mother is not someone else! The Queen Mother is the closest person to the Emperor's brother and the Emperor's son!" Lin Wenyu retorted eagerly.
Seeing the unwillingness and anxiety on his face, and the resentment in his clear and beautiful eyes, the Queen Mother smiled comfortingly and said: "Yes. My good princes are all the closest to me!
Among them, Xiaoliuzi, you are the most considerate!"
Lin Wenyu smiled happily.
"But," the Queen Mother then changed her voice, looking at him with both complaint and expectation, and said: "Xiao Liuzi, one day you will really get married and start a business, marry a virtuous and dignified princess, and give your mother three or five grandchildren to embrace.
If the Ai family can coquettishly play with their grandchildren and share a family relationship like an ordinary old woman does, then they are truly my caring people!" After saying this, he burst into laughter.
After hearing these words, Lin Wenyu frowned and said with a bitter face: "Mother, you are teasing the emperor about this matter again!"
"You've been trying to shirk it over and over again. Could it be that you already have your heart set on someone's daughter, but you're too embarrassed to come to propose marriage?" The Queen Mother looked at him with a very gossipy look, took his hand, put it in her palm and patted it.
He joked: "Tell me, queen mother, which family's daughter is so lucky to teach our little six children how to see right things?"
"If the emperor says so, will the queen mother be willing to make the decision for the emperor?" Lin Wenyu raised his eyes and looked at her with hope.
"If the other party is not engaged, even if the Seven Fairies of the Jade Emperor come down to earth, the Queen Mother will make the decision for you!" the Queen Mother said with a proud face.
"What if she is in the palace?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother pondered. "As long as she is not a beauty who has been canonized by the emperor and has not been favored by the emperor, it is not impossible..."
"That woman has already had skin-to-skin contact with the emperor."
The Queen Mother's face changed. "You - you are too messy! The women in this harem are all the emperor's people! How can you -"
Lin Wenyu said innocently: "But the emperor and her met outside the palace! She just happened to enter the palace..."
"This..." The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sighed and asked: "Which woman actually sneaked into the palace with an unclean body? Could it be that you did something to bribe the deacon?"
Just for the convenience of meeting her?" As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at her son with a complicated expression.
"No! She entered the palace openly." Lin Wenyu smiled shyly. Seeing the puzzled look on the Queen Mother's face, he stopped talking in circles and said directly: "It is the emperor who loves me so much now."
Miss Jingyue."
