The Queen Mother hugged Princess Yong'an distressedly.
Princess Yong'an lay in the Empress Dowager's arms, saying nothing, and just kept crying, sometimes feeling aggrieved, sometimes feeling fierce.
"what happened?"
This was the first time the Queen Mother had seen Princess Yong'an cry so hard. When she brought the child to her and told her her life story, she had never cried so hard.
Now that Princess Yong'an is crying like this, the Queen Mother is really worried.
The Queen Mother had never seen Princess Yong'an cry like this, and the other concubines present had never seen her cry like this before. They all looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
The first person to come to her senses was Concubine Rong.
"Where did Yong'an go? Why are you crying like this? In this palace, there are not many people who dare to bully Yong'an." Concubine Rong's delicate eyes flashed with calculation, and her words were also very thought-provoking.
Hearing what Concubine Rong said, the Queen Mother also reacted at this time. She looked at Princess Yong'an and said in a deep voice: "Yong'an, tell the Ai family honestly who bullied you. Didn't you say that you should go and see her first?"
That Xiao Mingke? Have you seen her? Where is she? "
It was okay that the Queen Mother did not mention the three words Xiao Mingke, but when she mentioned these three words, Princess Yong'an cried even harder.
What else does the Queen Mother not understand about Princess Yong'an's reaction?
She immediately sneered: "What a Xiao Mingke. I asked her to come to the palace because she likes it, not to show off her power. She actually dares to bully you like this in the palace. She really doesn't take the Ai family seriously!"
Princess Yong'an stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears. The makeup on her face was a little stained by tears. She looked really pitiful. "Grandma Huang, the third brother is with that woman... The third brother is..."
The Queen Mother never thought that the third prince was involved in this. Her expression immediately changed: "Jinyan is with that Xiao Mingke?"
The third prince's name is Lu Jinyan.
Princess Yong'an nodded aggrievedly and said, "The third brother seems to have come here just for her."
The Queen Mother's face turned even more ugly.
You must know that Jin Yan has become very different from her since her legs were injured, but no matter what, she feels sorry for Jin Yan in her heart. She just thinks that Xiao Mingke's behavior is a bit strange, so she wants to
Xuan Xiao Mingke was brought to the palace to see for herself. Jinyan acted as if she was going to do something, and was so protective of him?
At this time, Nanny Zhang, who was following Princess Yong'an, finally arrived. Nanny Zhang hurriedly walked towards the Queen Mother, saluted, and recounted what had just happened to the Queen Mother.
The more the Queen Mother listened, the uglier her face became. Especially when she heard that the third prince also followed Chiyang and talked about Princess Yong'an, the Queen Mother's face couldn't look at all.
Grandma Zhang's voice was not deliberately lowered, so everyone present could hear her clearly.
Concubine Rong held a handkerchief to cover the smile on her lips.
This Xiao Mingke is really capable.
She dared to attack Princess Yong'an in the palace like this, and said those words to Princess Yong'an. Did she really think that with the third prince behind her, she would be able to act unscrupulously in the palace? She would be able to escape unscathed in front of the Queen Mother.
Really? It’s simply ridiculous!
"Bang -" After hearing what Nanny Zhang said, the Queen Mother was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table.
"The Queen Mother, please calm down."
The palace maids and concubines all knelt down in fear.
The Queen Mother immediately sneered: "What a Xiao Mingke, the Ai family would like to see what she wants to do here today!"
Now everyone can see that the Queen Mother is really angry, but few dare to persuade her.
Princess Yong'an was still crying.
The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Zhang: "Take Yong'an to the back to clean it up."
Princess Yong'an held the Queen Mother's hand and refused to let go: "Grandma Huang, I want to stay."
"Go and wash your face, change your clothes and come back." The Queen Mother comforted her.
Princess Yong'an still wanted to say something, but when she met the Queen Mother's gaze and thought about how embarrassed she must be now, she compromised.
After Princess Yong'an left, the atmosphere here became very tense. The Queen Mother remained silent and no one dared to move. After a long time, the Queen Mother allowed those who were kneeling on the ground to get up.
Concubine Rong said: "There is no need for the Queen Mother to be so angry. After all, Xiao Mingke is also a child about the same age as Yong'an. It is normal for him to speak inappropriately."
The Queen Mother glanced over with a cold look: "The Ai family doesn't know when Concubine Rong became so tolerant to others? If this is really the case, why did Concubine Rong threaten to not allow Xiao Mingke to participate in any royal banquets held by you? Even the emperor specially wanted to let Jin
That time when Yan Sanxin went to the Royal Courtyard, the prince almost kicked Xiao Mingke out?"
Concubine Rong did not expect that the Queen Mother would be so disrespectful, and her face froze immediately. She apologized and said with a smile: "The queen mother was joking, and I just said that. No matter what, Xiao Mingke is a minister after all. To the princess,
Disrespect, this matter cannot be justified at all, and such disrespect must be severely punished."
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Rong twice and then looked away.
Concubine Rong didn't say anything else. In short, as long as Xiao Mingke didn't end well, she was satisfied.
After that, the Queen Mother said nothing more and just drank tea quietly and waited.
Soon, someone from the palace came to report: "The Queen Mother, Miss Xiao and His Highness the Third Prince have arrived at the gate of Shouning Palace and are waiting for your summons, the Queen Mother."
"Let Jinyan come in first." The Queen Mother waved her hand.
The palace official received the order and went out to deliver the message.
When the third prince heard what the palace attendant said, he frowned slightly: "Did Grandma Huang say when Miss Xiao will come in?"
"The Queen Mother only asked the servants to let you in." The palace servant said.
The third prince looked back at Chiyang with a gentle smile on his face: "It seems that our trip cannot be completed safely."
Chiyang looked indifferent: "I had anticipated this situation from the moment Yong'an County and I took action."
She said, glanced at the sky, and said in a light voice: "You and this palace maid, please go in. The weather will be very hot in a while, and your body may not be able to bear it."
The third prince shook his head. He looked at the palace maid who came to deliver the message, and his tone was unquestionable: "Go back and tell the imperial grandmother that if she doesn't let Miss Xiao in, I will stay outside with Miss Xiao."
The palace attendant glanced at the third prince with some embarrassment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly left.
Chiyang glanced at the third prince: "You really don't need to be like this. The Queen Mother won't let me leave easily unless she treats me well today."
