Chapter 38 The humble maid in the Prince's Mansion (38)
Seeing that the Queen Mother was still willing to support her, Liu Ruoyun didn't want to worry about ironing her clothes.
But after all, the queen is still the queen, and she cannot blatantly offend her.
From now on, her daughter will also have to make a living in front of the queen, her mother-in-law. If the queen doesn't like her, and the prince has changed his mind towards her daughter now, if the queen hates Mingzhu even more, she really doesn't know how to plan.
Liu Ruoyun wiped her tears, her eyes were dim with tears, and she looked at the Queen Mother with admiration.
The Queen Mother is now in her sixties, and her energy is not as good as before. Her hair is graying, and her face is increasingly wrinkled.
Liu Ruoyun said fakely.
"Mother, please don't reprimand the Queen's sister-in-law because of me later. Let's talk as a family. Otherwise, if I cause a rift between you and the Queen's sister-in-law, it will be Yun'er's fault."
"I just care deeply about my daughter, and I'm not here to provoke her."
The Queen Mother's old hand gently patted Liu Ruoyun's nurturing hand with a gentle tone.
"You grew up by my mother's side, longer than your emperor brother has been with me. How could my mother not know that you are a kind-hearted person, but never worry about others?"
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother is just asking if the Queen knows that Xiaohe behaves like this. She doesn't say anything else and doesn't want to embarrass you."
When Liu Ruoyun heard this, he felt relieved.
To be honest, she was used to being arrogant, so why was she so cautious and fearful when meeting the Queen.
This started more than ten years ago. Liu Ruoyun was raised by the Queen Mother. Although she and the emperor had not met much since childhood, they were still childhood sweethearts.
The current sage was no less charming than Chu Xiaohe when he was young. Which noble lady in the capital would not fall in love with him.
Naturally, this includes Liu Ruoyun, a young girl who loves spring.
Moreover, Liu Ruoyun was spoiled by the Queen Mother and became lawless. When she could not see her son, she poured maternal love into Liu Ruoyun.
Liu Ruoyun was forced to develop a lawless temper.
At that time, Liu Ruoyun was confident that she would be the crown princess and the future queen.
But now His Majesty has no such thoughts about Liu Ruoyun, and it can even be said that he is a little noisy and bored.
Later, Liu Ruoyun learned that the emperor had a favorite woman, who is now the queen.
But she was so angry that she often plotted against the queen during the private banquet. However, the queen was the daughter of the then Taifu and had a distinguished status. She had never seen such a person.
With a clever mind, Liu Ruoyun failed to harm others but was tricked by the queen several times.
Later, when the emperor and the empress got married, she was depressed for a while. When she met Tang Qinghui, she fell in love at first sight again, and then she took the title of the Prime Minister's wife.
Therefore, Liu Ruoyun was still a little frightened, especially the queen's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everyone.
Especially when he stared at her, she even felt scared unconsciously.
After a while, the queen came slowly.
Wearing gorgeous clothes and a phoenix crown, he looks elegant and well-maintained.
She didn't get along much with the Queen Mother on weekdays. The Queen Mother worshiped Buddha all year round, so she didn't need to pay her respects.
When the Queen entered the inner hall, she first saluted the Queen Mother and didn't even pay any attention to Liu Ruoyun.
Liu Ruoyun stood up and froze in his salute, standing there awkwardly, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.
The Queen Mother felt extremely distressed when she saw this, but she couldn't just reprimand the Queen.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Liu Ruoyun to sit down. She looked at the Queen's face with a slightly majestic expression, so as not to lose face.
"Queen, do you know why I called you here today?"
The Queen is not that docile and will guess when you tell me. She will get angry with everyone when she gets angry. Even the Emperor was often told by the Queen in private.
Now that she heard the Queen Mother ask this, she wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back.
Patiently asked, "What's the matter? The Queen always likes to play riddles. How can I guess what the Queen is thinking?"
The Queen has the ability to control the overall situation in the hunting grounds, and now she is neither humble nor overbearing when facing the Queen Mother.
In fact, she probably knew why when she saw Liu Ruoyun. The queen slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and glanced at Liu Ruoyun who was pretending to be pitiful. The corners of his eyes were red, he had just cried.
The queen looked away calmly, thinking that she probably knew what was going on.
The Queen Mother was choked and did not speak.
She looked at the Queen with a deep look. The Queen Mother usually didn't like women like the Queen, who were too strong, but she had heard that the Queen was in control of the situation on the hunting ground when the Emperor was missing. She was so majestic.
But she is a woman, wouldn't this be too vulgar and ugly?
That's not something women do. Who's husband likes his wife to cross him?
That's so disrespectful.
Therefore, the Queen Mother defended her son's injustice and did not like the Queen.
"Okay, Queen, you should also scare Yun'er. She has been timid since she was a child. You should have guessed why Yun'er came. You should find time to persuade Xiaohe. Mingzhu is a good girl. He was the one who took the initiative to propose marriage to the Holy Emperor. .”
"If that's the case, why don't you treat them well and learn from them now?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When the queen heard this, she put the teacup on the table.
Her face was sharp and her expression darkened, "Excuse me? When did you do it? Could it be that Mrs. Liu came here to say that it is true? Besides, Tang Mingzhu has been married for three years and has nothing to do. She occupies the prince's side chamber and refuses to admit him." Now I still have the nerve to cry in front of you, Queen Mother.”
As she spoke, the queen looked at Liu Ruoyun with sharp eyes.
What she disliked the most was Liu Ruoyun's style, which meant that the Queen Mother blindfolded herself and pretended not to see.
Liu Ruoyun didn't dare to reply. He lowered his head and said nothing, almost curling up like a quail.
It was enough to show how deep the shadow the Queen left on her.
Liu Ruoyun, who was usually fearless, was facing the queen now. Tang Yu would be surprised if he saw her here.
That snake-like woman also has times when she can be so timid and cowardly.
What Liu Ruoyun fears the most about the Queen is that she plays tricks with the Queen, and the Queen plays with her life.
The queen glared at Liu Ruoyun coldly and saw that she was silent.
He turned to face the Queen Mother and said in a deep voice: "Mother, you are talking about my Xiao'er just based on Liu Ruoyun's words. What is the reason for this?"
The Queen Mother was getting older, and her chest was rising and falling due to the Queen's few words.
How is it inappropriate for an elder to ask her daughter-in-law a few words like this?
The queen just pretended not to see it. What she didn't like the most was someone interfering in the affairs of Chu Xiaohe's courtyard.
If Tang Mingzhu hadn't had nothing to do, she wouldn't have bothered to care.
But Mrs. Liu, who was suffering from the plague, came up to accuse the prince, and she couldn't bear it.
In the Shoukang Palace, only the Queen Mother was out of breath, and the nun next to her kept trying to help her breathe.
And Liu Ruoyun, who didn't dare to speak, lowered his head and remained silent.
The queen served the tea and sipped it slowly, while the three of them were tit for tat.
In the end, the queen only left one sentence, asking about Chu Xiaohe, then turned and left.
She didn't care at all about the old Queen Mother who was too old and dim to recognize people, and Liu Ruoyun who looked at her viciously from behind and wanted to Ling Chi.
The queen walked out of Shoukang Palace, still angry.
If the prince hadn't fallen in love with Liu Ruoyun's daughter at first sight, she would never have let him marry Liu Ruoyun's daughter.
What kind of good daughter could a viper like Liu Ruoyun raise?
But the queen was still worried about her son and didn't know whether what the queen mother said was true or false.
Does your son really dislike that Tang Mingzhu? No longer on your mind?
He sent the maid next to him, "Go, you go to the East Palace and invite the prince to come over. Just say that I have something to discuss with you."
