After the two parties said goodbye, Tangbao and Xuanyuan Jin entered the official post, while Princess Mingli went directly to the palace.
In the palace, a beautiful middle-aged woman in a golden robe was leaning in front of a window covered with a thick woolen blanket, lazily blowing on her newly dyed nails.
The vermilion nails exude a gorgeous and luxurious light under the mottled light and shadow.
The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression became more and more leisurely and lazy, but a sharp light flashed quickly in her eyes.
"Isn't the prince here yet?" the woman asked softly.
There is a hint of elegance and softness in the voice.
A young man bowed and replied: "In reply to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an audience—"
With a song, the palace door opened, and Princess Mingli strode in.
"My son, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Mother."
Princess Mingli knelt down and bowed, her eyes lowered, covering the dark light in her eyes.
The sunlight shines through the open window and shines on Princess Mingli's head, creating a blurry halo.
The Queen of Western Qin looked at the prince kneeling on the ground, her expression slightly condensed.
His gaze rested on the top of Princess Mingli's head for a moment.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he looked away.
"Get up." The Queen of Western Qin said calmly.
However, if you listen carefully, you can hear that this voice has a hint of darkness and depression compared to the previous elegance.
"I failed to get what I wanted, and I have lost the face of Western Qin. I am guilty and dare not get up." Princess Mingli said in frustration.
"I can't blame you originally." The Queen of Western Qin said: "It's Princess Dayan who doesn't know good from evil. If the prince is upset, just detain the prince and princess of Dayan and let Dayan exchange for the princess.
!”
The Queen of Western Qin's tone was casual, as if the suggestion she made was just an insignificant matter.
Princess Mingli was startled and had a bad premonition in her heart.
Could it be that the Queen Mother is acting like this because she was completely influenced by the Emperor's husband, Mu Lin, and wants to completely turn against Dayan?
Princess Mingli was so excited that she broke into a cold sweat.
If that were the case, Su Tang and her prince brother would be in danger.
Well, she herself is more dangerous.
Princess Mingli's mind was racing, thinking of how she could get over this matter without leaving any trace.
"You just indulge him too much." came a dissatisfied voice.
Immediately, a middle-aged man with a powerful figure walked in with powerful steps.
Princess Mingli's heart tightened, and cold sweat crept up her back.
——Mu Lin!
Yes! This person is none other than the first emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty—Mu Lin!
Her Majesty the Queen looked at Mu Lin with a hint of fascination on her face.
"Have the affairs in the court been settled?" Her Majesty the Queen asked: "Are those annoying old ministers nagging and complaining again?"
The imperial concubine Mu Lin sat down next to the queen, took the queen's hand and held it in his palm.
He said: "It doesn't matter, they can't make waves, they just want to satisfy their appetite."
After saying that, he looked at Princess Mingli.
Princess Mingli suppressed the turbulent nervousness in her heart and tried to bring out a hint of excitement in her voice.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
Princess Mingli looked sincere and sincere.
Her Majesty the Queen's eyes narrowed, and her slender fingers slowly drew circles in Mu Lin's palm...
Mu Lin felt itchy in his heart, and he clenched Her Majesty the Queen's rebellious hand, looked at Princess Mingli, and scolded her coldly: "The prince, you can't even marry a woman, you are so useless! Now you are still teasing you.
The Queen Mother vents her anger on you, but there is no future!"
Princess Mingli: "...Yes, I am aware of my guilt."
Princess Mingli looked aggrieved and ashamed.
She naturally knew that the imperial concubine Mu Lin did not pamper the prince Mingxuan.
In fact, he is far less fond of Mingxuan than Her Majesty the Queen.
This makes Princess Mingli sometimes wonder, is Mingxuan really Mu Lin's biological son? Is she really the queen's biological daughter?
Could it be that she heard wrongly at first, that Mingxuan was actually the biological son of the mother emperor, and that she, the princess, was the fake one?
"Well, he is still young and has been wronged in a foreign country thousands of miles away. He will naturally complain to his parents when he returns home." Her Majesty the Queen said: "Not only did you, the father, not vent your anger for him, but you scolded him. This
How sad will it make the child?"
After the queen finished speaking, she looked at Princess Mingli kneeling on the ground and said softly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Mother."
Princess Mingli stood up and glanced at the Queen, her eyes full of admiration.
The Queen's heart moved slightly, and the hand on her side tightened slightly.
Immediately, he looked at the emperor's wife, Mu Lin, and said in a lazy voice: "Now that I have met the person, I feel relieved. Xuan'er must be very tired from sleeping in the open air all the way. Let him go back and rest first. What's the matter?
Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Mu Lin nodded and said in a majestic voice: "You go back to rest for now and have lunch with your mother tomorrow!"
"Yes, I obey," Princess Mingli said.
After saying that, he saluted Her Majesty the Queen again.
"My son, please retire."
Her Majesty the Queen waved her hand.
Under Mu Lin's dissatisfied gaze, Princess Mingli walked out of Her Majesty the Queen's palace with steady steps.
"In our Western Qin, most of us have loving fathers and strict mothers, but you are just the opposite. You treat the prince too harshly." Her Majesty the Queen looked through the window at Princess Mingli outside the window and said casually.
"You are too indulgent to him. If I were not stricter, I'm afraid he would be even more useless." Mu Lin said helplessly: "You don't even think about it, he spends his whole day looking for beauties and is determined to marry the most beautiful one in the world.
The beauty is a concubine, and for this reason, she did not hesitate to promise conditions that were detrimental to the interests of Western Qin and proposed marriage to Dayan..."
The more Mu Lin spoke, the darker his face became, as if he was filled with dissatisfaction with Prince Mingxuan.
However, before he finished speaking, his voice paused.
Because, the soft catkins in the palm of my hand slowly drew circles again.
Mu Lin looked at Her Majesty the Queen, with a hint of heat in her eyes.
The corners of the Queen's mouth raised slightly, a glint of pride flashed across her eyes, and a charming smile appeared on her face...
**
Princess Mingli finally breathed a sigh of relief after walking all the way out of the Queen's palace.
Only then did she realize that she was already covered in sweat.
"Your Highness, it's not good!" An attendant came over anxiously and said, "The fight is about to begin!"
Princess Mingli frowned.
"What started the fight?"
"The two new concubines you brought back are fighting with the beauties and ladies in the house," the attendant said.
Princess Mingli: "..."
It seems that after Xuanyuan Linghua and Xia Siya entered the Prince's Mansion, they couldn't wait to take action.
Princess Mingli strode back.
She is the best at handling disputes between beauties!
Anyway, Mingxuan's temperament is that he likes the new and hates the old, he is sentimental but ruthless.
Now that I have a new love, it makes sense to send my old love away.
Princess Mingli once again thanked Tangbao and gave her Xia Siya and Princess Linghua!
