"Do you really care?" the queen asked after a moment of silence.
"I can't tell." The seventh princess shook her head and stated: "It looked like she was a little concerned, but apart from taking a look at it when she entered the door, she didn't look at it deliberately after that. She just glanced at Fang Yulu.
I looked at him several times with great interest."
If you really love someone, your eyes will fall on that person from time to time.
"Deliberately?" the queen asked again.
"It's not intentional, just look at it as usual." The seventh princess said. She kept looking at Feng Yu's expression from behind the gauze curtain.
"Since you don't care, why do you have to marry her?" The queen rubbed her brows and muttered to herself in confusion.
"Since you have to marry, then marry someone with good looks. At least Yu Xi is pretty and pretty." The seventh princess said disapprovingly, her eyebrows slightly relaxed.
The queen's expression softened a little, and she thought for a while and said: "This girl from the Yu family is indeed very good-looking. If she regains her beauty in two or three years, she will surely amaze the world."
The seventh princess sneered: "So what? Who in the royal family has never seen a beauty? If they search all over the world, they may not be able to find another beauty similar to hers. This marriage of hers is really a joke."
The queen understood this, but she didn't want to say more about such junior matters. She picked up the tea cup in front of her with a smile and took a sip.
The seventh princess continued: "Feng Yu was so angry that he must ask to marry her. An and the eldest princess were so angry that they agreed to such a weird marriage. Speaking of which, this whole thing is a joke."
"Whether it's a joke or not, from now on...be more polite when you see her," the queen said casually.
"Don't worry, mother, I will treat her decently. Even if she is nothing, at least she will still be the crown prince of Qi. When the fifth prince of Qi is fine, she will be fine." The seventh princess sneered and said disapprovingly.
"How is Prince Zhongshan doing?" the queen let her sneer, and then asked with a smile.
"Just a follower." The Seventh Princess said angrily, "Crying so loudly, even though he has no tears, he is still crying. It seems that he just wants to stir things up, and he doesn't want to see if he is qualified."
"Fang Yulu?"
"He looks like a smart person. He knew that the queen mother was trying to give Yu Xijiao power, but in the end... it was of no use. The Crown Prince of Zhongshan didn't take him to heart." The seventh princess said, she had just been hiding behind the gauze curtain.
It wasn't just Feng Yu and Yu Xijiao who were peeping, there was another couple in her eyes as well.
"Smart people are good!" the queen said with a hint.
"Does the Queen think Yu Xijiao is smart?" the seventh princess asked back. She didn't take Fang Yulu to heart, and was a little more concerned about Yu Xijiao who was kneeling on the ground quietly, waiting for the Queen to greet her.
"Quite smart." The queen said.
"But my daughter doesn't think so. If she is really smart, why did she book it with Feng Yu, a lunatic?" The seventh princess said angrily, reaching out and pressing her wrist. The wound on her wrist had healed, but she still felt a dull pain.
, this is the injury she suffered in the Chunhe Palace of the Queen Mother. Feng Yu grabbed her wrist and threw her out. Are you thinking she is an assassin? Are you lying!
"How did she do in the White Rock Academy entrance exam?"
"I didn't expect it to pass." The seventh princess said.
"Now that she's passed, she's about to prepare for school..." the queen said with a hint, picking up the teacup and taking a sip and putting it down, "Since she's going to marry Feng Yu, from now on...be more careful."
"Mother, my daughter understands." The seventh princess stood up, "Mother, my daughter has something to do, please leave first."
The queen waved her hand and watched her daughter leave with a smile. The smile on her face slowly faded, she leaned back and sighed heavily.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is smart." The personal nun whispered, and stepped forward to gently squeeze her shoulders.
"No matter how smart she is, she is just a princess." The queen sighed longly and closed her eyes slightly. Having no heirs was the biggest pain in her life. All of this was because of Concubine Ning. A flash of light flashed in her eyes.
A hint of sternness.
If she gives birth to an heir, he will definitely be the current crown prince.
"Empress, no matter who is the emperor in the future, you will sit in that position." Mammy lowered her voice and pointed her finger in the direction of Chun'an Palace.
"Biological mothers, aunts, even ordinary families will make a fuss." The queen said coldly, reaching out to pinch the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Your Majesty, the rule in this world is that the biological mother is always older than the biological mother. What's more, what if there is no biological mother!" Mammy said with a chuckle.
Yes, what if there is no biological mother?
The queen was silent, and the balance in her heart began to swing again. Now she is the queen, in the future she must be the aunt, and she must be the only queen mother. The so-called two palaces coexisting, it is impossible for her. She is so scheming, and finally
How can there be such a cheap thing in this world when someone else picks the fruit?
"Empress, Concubine Ning has sent someone here." A servant reported anxiously at the door, his voice trembling slightly.
The queen suddenly became smart, sat up suddenly, straightened her back and looked at the door. Is something wrong?
Fang Yulu walked slower and slower, and finally she was walking on the same level as Yu Xijiao. She looked sideways at Yu Xijiao, and saw that Yu Xijiao didn't speak, only walked with her head lowered, and pursed her lips without speaking.
Feng Yu and Feng Jingze were in front. Feng Jingze pushed the wheelchair for Feng Yu. The two brothers from the same clan were talking and laughing, and they were very harmonious. Neither brother looked back at the two girls behind them. When one of them turned around,
At the intersection, Feng Jingze realized that the person behind him had disappeared.
"Where are you walking, so slow?" Feng Jingze stopped and his wheelchair stopped.
"Wait a minute!" Feng Yu said casually.
"Go, see where they are, and tell them to hurry up." Feng Jingze nodded and called a chamberlain, who hurriedly went back to look for the person.
When I passed an intersection, I saw two girls approaching slowly, and I hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You two girls, Your Majesty, please hurry up and come over, right in front." The chamberlain straightened up and said with a smile.
"Miss Yu, please go first. I'm really powerless." Fang Yulu took a breath and said, she slowed down at first, and then followed Yu Xijiao's footsteps.
Yu Xijiao couldn't walk very fast. She was really unwell and wanted to stop after walking a few steps.
"We're just ahead, don't be in a hurry." Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked at the general direction and said.
The waiter didn't hurry and just waited aside. Seeing him like this, the two of them couldn't delay too much and continued walking forward. Yu Xijiao had slowed down, but Fang Yulu was still sweating profusely and her face became paler.
, looking like he might faint at any moment.
Feng Yu and Feng Jingze were waiting on the side of the road. When they saw them coming, Feng Jingze said impatiently: "Why are you so slow? If you don't come, we will leave by ourselves."
After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair and started walking.
"Prince Zhongshan, wait a moment." Yu Xijiao took a step forward and bowed sideways.
Feng Jingze looked at Feng Yu, who was lazily squinting his eyes, and stopped: "What's the matter?"
"Miss Fang is really unwell. I wonder if we can let her rest for a while?" Yu Xijiao looked at Fang Yulu's face, which was worse than before. There was sweating on her forehead. It was indeed a serious illness.
Nothing is perfect.
"Didn't you say there was nothing wrong? Why are you saying there is something wrong now?" Feng Jingze let go of the wheelchair's pusher, walked up to Fang Yulu, looked at Fang Yulu up and down, and said with great disgust.
"Prince Zhongshan, no matter who is seriously ill, his body is very weak. Miss Fang really can't hold it anymore. Please find a place for her to rest for a while," Yu Xijiao insisted.
The Crown Prince of Zhongshan turned his eyes back to Yu Xijiao's face, glanced at her calmly, and said impatiently: "Just over there, take a rest."
He was pointing to the pavilion on the roadside. Yu Xijiao nodded and reached out to give Fang Yulu a hand.
Fang Yulu was moved and held her hand back. She really couldn't hold on any longer. Because of what Prince Zhongshan said before, she couldn't really faint, for fear that it would really become a reason to break off the engagement.
"Over there." Feng Yu said lazily and pointed to an attic on the opposite side. Compared with the pavilion with ventilation on all sides, the attic looked much more comfortable.
"Thank you, Prince Qi." Yu Xijiao helped Fang Yulu turn around and go to the attic. Feng Yu nodded and called a chamberlain to follow him.
There was a chamberlain guarding in front of the attic. When he saw Yu Xijiao supporting Fang Yulu, he immediately stepped forward to stop him. Feng Yu's chamberlain stepped forward and stopped the chamberlain first. After the two of them said a few words, the chamberlain of Prince Qi's Mansion
Came back: "You two ladies, please rest upstairs first. The imperial doctor will be here shortly."
"Thank you...father-in-law." Fang Yulu was really grateful. She was feeling dizzy in front of her eyes. She had been trying to hold on, but now she couldn't hold on. She could hardly move her feet.
Yu Xijiao and Fang Yulu's maid helped Fang Yulu go upstairs and lay down on a imperial concubine's couch. Another servant came over and brought tea and snacks.
Yu Xijiao poured some hot water for her and brought it to Fang Yulu's lips after it cooled. Fang Yulu drank a few sips and finally recovered a little. The maid wiped the sweat on her forehead for her, her face full of panic and worry.
, her face was as pale as Fang Yulu's, her lips were as pale as earth, and she seemed to be about to faint.
"Thank you." Fang Yulu grabbed Yu Xijiao's hand with her backhand and said in a low voice.
"Miss Fang, you shouldn't have entered the palace today." Yu Xijiao raised her eyes, a pair of clear eyes that could almost see into people's hearts.
"I... had to come." Fang Yulu smiled bitterly, "I even had to get ahead of you, I had to... like this!"
Several people had to express Fang Yulu's helplessness.
Yu Xijiao's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, her eyes as clear as water: "Actually... you can do it. Since Miss Fang can do it, why do you do this?"
So many dissatisfactions, so many unavoidable choices, are actually a choice, a choice to put pressure on yourself in front of the Queen.
Whether it was Fang Yulu's original intention or the Queen's, at least Fang Yulu understood it and cooperated.
This time, Yu Xijiao gained nothing. At least she understood that the queen was not happy with her, and even used Fang Yulu to suppress her quietly.
But why? She, the crown prince of Prince Qi, is not just a decoration, a crown princess who is nothing in the end after all the families are angry, so why should the queen put all her efforts into it?
