Xiao Jue had just come out of Changle Palace and wanted to go back to the palace, but he bumped into Qin Zhen again.
So, he simply turned back and accompanied Qin Zhen to Changle Palace to visit the queen, and also helped carry the crucian carp.
This scene is somewhat funny, but no one dares to say a word.
Lou Yan followed the two of them, looking at the fish for a moment, and finally stared at the back of Qin Zhen's head, never moving away.
Everyone in Changle Palace was a little surprised when His Royal Highness went down and came back.
Xiao Jue stood at the door and asked, "Where is the queen mother?"
The waiter said softly: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince has just left, and the Queen is taking a rest at the moment."
Xiao Jue nodded, carried the fish and led Qin Zhen through the door.
In the room, the queen was half leaning on the soft couch, half squinting her eyes to relax.
Hearing the footsteps, the queen thought it was Xiao Yao coming back. She smiled and said, "Did you forget to take something again? You kid, you are always so reckless, when will you grow up!"
Although the words were reproachful, the tone was full of endearment.
Xiao Jue was silent for a moment before speaking: "Queen Mother, it's me."
The smile on the queen's face disappeared instantly, leaving only impatience. She opened her eyes and looked over: "Why are you back again? You... Qin Zhen, why are you here?"
The queen stared at Qin Zhen, the uninvited guest, with her eyes about to burst into flames.
Qin Zhen shrank behind Xiao Jue, lowered her head, and said softly: "I heard that the Queen is ill, so I came here specially to take a look."
The queen sneered: "What are you looking at? Are you looking to see if I am dead? I disappoint you, but I am still alive and well."
Xiao Jue frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "Mother, she came here specifically to visit her. She didn't mean what you said."
The queen was stunned and stared at Xiao Jue: "Are you speaking for her?"
Xiao Jue took a deep breath, raised his hand and said to the crucian carp, "Look, Queen Mother, she heard that crucian carp makes soup to replenish the body, and went to the market to buy it herself. It is very fresh. She came to visit you sincerely.
Yeah, can you stop being so mean to her?"
The queen's eyes slowly moved from Xiao Jue's face to the fish, and then she looked into the fish's dead eyes. The queen's face became distorted on the spot.
"Fresh?" the queen said through gritted teeth, "You brought a dead fish to see me. Are you cursing me to die early?"
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he saw that the crucian carp that had been carried all the way was indeed out of breath.
"...it was still alive at the gate of the palace just now. It may be because it has been short of water for too long. It doesn't matter, it is still very fresh."
"Xiao Jue!" The queen couldn't bear it anymore: "Did you bring her here specifically to piss me off?"
Qin Zhen stood behind Xiao Jue, stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Jue's sleeve, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, forget it, the Queen is ill, and her bad temper is understandable. She must not be targeting her.
You, don't take it to heart."
She glanced at the crucian carp and said, "This fish... just dies if it dies. I think the Queen doesn't like it very much."
As soon as these two sentences were finished, Xiao Jue suddenly felt furious.
Why is she so ill-tempered? She was so ridiculously happy when they first came in. If this wasn't directed at him, why was it?
If you don't like Crucian Carp, maybe you don't like Xiao Jue, right?
Xiao Jue bit his lip, and finally suddenly threw the crucian carp in his hand to the ground with a clatter, and said to the queen: "The queen doesn't like to eat fish, so just don't eat it. I will find something that the queen likes and send it to her another day."
"
After that, he pulled Qin Zhen and turned around and left.
Qin Zhen staggered for a few steps, turned to look at the Queen with difficulty, and warned in a soft voice: "Queen, please take good care of yourself and don't get angry. Your Highness the Crown Prince also cares about you. Even if you don't like it, please do it."
Understand his filial piety towards you."
Qin Zhen's words were beautiful, but her expression was completely different.
Only the Queen and Lou Yan standing behind could see it, their eyes full of ridicule.
The queen was so angry that she gritted her teeth and roared: "Qin Zhen, you bitch!"
She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it in Qin Zhen's direction.
Lou Yan's eyes flashed and he took a step forward, only to be glared back by Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen turned sideways slightly, and the teacup hit her shoulder.
Qin Zhen groaned and stopped.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Jue turned around suddenly and saw a broken teacup at Qin Zhen's feet, and a wet patch on her shoulder, with tea leaves still stuck to it.
Xiao Jue took a deep breath, turned around and stared at the queen, saying word by word: "Mother, you... don't go too far!"
"Am I going too far?" The queen pointed at Qin Zhen and said through gritted teeth, "Why don't you ask what she did?"
Xiao Jue: "She came to see you with good intentions, but you didn't appreciate it, and you even said bad words to her. This is not enough, you actually do it?"
Queen: "She deserves it!"
Xiao Jue's face suddenly darkened, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother has forgotten what the consequences were of the last time you hit her."
Queen: "..."
She looked at Xiao Jue in shock, unable to believe that her son actually threatened her.
Xiao Jue continued: "She is the Princess of Anshun who was personally granted the title by her father. She is not a cat or a dog. She can be beaten and scolded by her mother. I hope that next time my mother wants to do this again, she will think more about the fate of her fourth brother."
The queen's mouth trembled twice: "Xiao Jue, are you helping an outsider deal with your mother?"
Xiao Jue closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to either."
"Mother, please take good care of yourself." After Xiao Jue said this, he grabbed Qin Zhen's wrist and took her away from Changle Palace.
As soon as they left, the queen on the back went crazy, cursing people and throwing things, and was finally replaced by a fit of coughing.
Qin Zhen listened to the movements in Changle Palace, feeling happy in her heart, but with a worried look on her face, she asked Xiao Jue carefully: "Your Highness, the Queen, is she... okay?"
Xiao Jue's face was expressionless: "It's okay, don't worry."
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, the Queen would not be so angry with you today. I will come to apologize and explain clearly some other day.
We can't let there be any rift between you mother and son."
Xiao Jue smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to waste your efforts. Today's matter has nothing to do with you. No matter what I do, she will not be satisfied."
Qin Zhen: "How could it be? You are her biological son and the prince. You are so good, how could she be dissatisfied?"
When Xiao Jue heard this, his heart warmed up. He turned his head to look at Qin Zhen and said, "It's a pity that she is not you. In her heart, only the fourth brother is her son. Even if the fourth brother spends all day and night, in her heart
It’s also the best. In this world, you are the only one who thinks I’m good.”
