Chapter 565 Queen
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled, "Look, I just said it, but you still take it seriously." Then, she patted the back of Xia Zihan's hand and said to her, "Now that you are here, my mood has improved. From now on, you two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will often come to stay with me.”
After the late emperor passed away, she felt it was really boring to live alone, but she couldn't let go of her son, so she lived a lonely life by herself.
Although the queen and several concubines would come to pay her respects every day, but... well... she regretted the emperor's choice of this queen.
She looks nice, elegant, generous, gentle and virtuous, but in reality, she is selfish and has insidious methods. Just like the previous Concubine Lu, from a distance, she looks like a delicate and bright flower, but from a close distance, she looks like a delicate and bright flower. A piranha flower.
She looked unhappy and was unwilling to keep them any longer.
He just said hello and let them go.
What's more, the emperor has been married for many years, and the queen gave birth to a princess for him. The temperament of the little granddaughter also followed the daughter-in-law. She has been cruel and ruthless since she was a child. A few days ago, she ordered the little father-in-law to beat a little palace maid alive. dead.
The reason was that the little palace maid accidentally broke her favorite teacup.
Hey...
Furthermore, she didn't want to get too close to her little granddaughter. She felt like they were two people from two different worlds who couldn't talk or get along.
But the emperor still had no legitimate son, and there was no movement in the bellies of several other concubines. She was anxious and a little doubtful whether someone had tampered with it.
She originally wanted people from the Taiyuan Hospital to investigate secretly, but... when she wanted to go to the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, she realized later that after years of neglect, the Taiyuan Hospital actually fell into the hands of the Queen.
Hey...
That's all, she doesn't care about anything anymore.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
The Queen Mother thought coldly, looking at Xia Zihan with her eyes, but she was full of love. In fact, deep down in her heart, she also had some small regrets. If she was not at ease back then, would Chu Yu be... Her daughter-in-law?
But there are some things that, if missed, will never come again. Even if she regrets it, it will be useless. Besides, the Chu family and his son have helped her son so much. Not only did they win documents for Da Sheng to make good relations with the Tatars, but they also obtained documents from the Japanese pirates. Lost ground was regained.
She cannot be ungrateful for such a huge contribution and kindness.
Xia Zihan responded with a smile.
The Queen Mother left her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to eat. After dinner, the Queen Mother wanted to take a nap, so Zhuo and Xia Zihan took the opportunity to leave.
The two people were sent out of Yongshou Hall by Guanqing.
When he arrived outside Yongshou Hall, Guan Qing paused, blessed his body, and said, "The servants will be sent here, and Xiaowan will send the princess and the princess out."
She didn't dare to send it any further. The Queen Mother liked to turn over during her nap, so she had to cover the Queen Mother with a quilt. Otherwise, in this cold weather, even if there was a hot pit in the house, she would be worried that the Queen Mother would catch a cold.
Guan Qing was blessed and hurriedly entered the Yongshou Palace. The palace maid Xiaowan led Zhuo and Xia Zihan out.
Just as he was about to leave the fourth palace gate, suddenly, a palace maid hurried over and said, "Are they the princess and princess Chu Yu? The queen invites you."
Zhuo and Xia Zihan were both stunned for a moment. Then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and followed the palace maid helplessly.
The queen sent someone to invite them over, how dare they not go?
They did not dare to disobey the Queen's will.
When Zhuo and Xia Zihan arrived at the Millennium Palace where the Queen lived, they discovered that Princess Zhengna, whose foot injury had not healed, was also there, and she seemed to be chatting happily with the Queen. When the queen saw the two people coming in, she quickly said, "Get up quickly and sit down."
He ordered the palace maid to move two chairs and place them behind Zhuo and Xia Zihan. They were not polite and sat down obediently.
Xia Zihan looked at the queen carefully.
This is the first time she has met the Queen. To be honest, the Queen is not as beautiful as Princess Mingzhu. According to her appearance, she is considered to be of good looks, but compared with Princess Mingzhu and a great beauty like her, she is still a little inferior.
However, with a phoenix robe as a foil and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin as an embellishment, even if the queen has an ordinary appearance, she will make people feel noble, elegant, and graceful.
While Xia Zihan was sizing up the queen, the queen was also sizing up Xia Zihan. When she saw Xia Zihan's unparalleled beauty and charming face, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she had a gentle smile on her face. Asked, "Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"
"Yes." Xia Zihan replied respectfully.
Not a word more said.
The Queen held the colorful Twelve Flower God Cup in her hand, took a sip of tea, and swallowed it slowly... With a smile on her lips, she looked at Xia Zihan and said, "The Queen Mother has not been very agile recently, and I have been harassed by everyone in the palace. Things are holding me back, and I want to go to the Queen Mother to fulfill my filial piety, but I can’t get away. From now on, Princess Chuyu will be the one to be bothered.”
"I don't dare to say that being a queen is a labor of love. This is what a minister should do." Xia Zihan stood up in a hurry and said respectfully for his blessing.
The smile on the queen's face became a little brighter, "I asked you to come over, that is, to sit for a while. I heard that you and Princess Zhengna also know each other. It just so happens that she is here."
Princess Zhengna was glaring at her with eyes that wanted to eat her.
Xia Zihan didn't take it seriously. She turned to her, met her poisonous eyes, and said with a smile, "Princess Zhengna, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why, is the injury on your foot healed?"
"How dare you mention it, you bitch..." Human.
Before the last word was uttered, Xia Zihan received an icy cold knife. Because it was too cold, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but shut her mouth and did not dare to curse.
Xia Zihan sneered in his heart, but said innocently on his face, "The emperor punished me, why don't I dare to mention it? Besides, it's not my fault. Oh, by the way, that girl who stretched out her foot to trip my maid, what did you do? Dispose of her? Send her away or kill her? ”
She was very curious.
She heard Chu Jingqi say that women in the Japanese country had no status at home. They were as timid as mice and were at the mercy of the men in the family.
I just don’t know where Princess Zhengna’s temper comes from?
Princess Zhengna was furious and wanted to get angry, but when she thought that the queen was still there, she had just flattered the queen and made the queen like her. She couldn't lose her composure in front of the queen, otherwise, she would have been trying to please the queen for so long.
Princess Zhengna curled her lips, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her angry face, and said, "Look at what the princess said, I am a kind-hearted person. How could I treat my maid like that? I just punished her." Two months of silver and no food for one day.”
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and looked at her with ridicule and disdain, making Princess Zhengna feel weak, as if she had seen through her lies.
In fact, the maid was not doing things well. After she woke up, she was killed with a stick and her body was thrown into a mass grave.
Of course she would not say this in front of the queen.
