"Has the child been poisoned by her mother's family?" The Queen Mother immediately understood the meaning of Wu Zechen's words and frowned.
"Yes, I was fed chronic poison by that step-sibling Li for more than ten years." Wu Zechen said coldly.
"What a Li." The Queen Mother was displeased, but she was quite aware of the methods used by these housewives, so she didn't say anything more and just said, "Have you already made arrangements?"
"Yes, Grandma Royal doesn't have to worry."
"Okay, then the Ai family will not ask about this matter." After that, the Queen Mother turned to talk about another matter, "Then you know about the child's daily outings, right?"
"Yes, she detoxifies her grandson, and it is an agreement that her grandson will not restrict her freedom." Wu Zechen didn't know why the Queen Mother mentioned this, "What's the problem with her going out?"
"There's no problem, it's just too much of a coincidence." The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, "Yan'er went out to play in the palace a few days ago, and happened to meet a girl named A Tong and Xi Menghan, the legitimate daughter of the Xi family, and the three of them got along very well. We have arrived at a place. These days, the Ai family has heard Yan'er mention the girl 'A Tong' from time to time. Out of curiosity, they sent someone to inquire about it, and then they found out that A Tong is the Xia family who married into your house. My eldest daughter. I have gone around in a circle, but I am very destined."
"My grandson was negligent and did not inform the imperial grandmother in advance." Wu Zechen had already known about this matter, but did not take it to heart. He did not expect that it would attract the Queen Mother's attention.
The Queen Mother saw that her grandson really didn't take her grandnephew seriously. Although she was a little regretful, she gave up and stopped insisting. She just smiled and said: "Yan'er has been talking about A Tong all day long, which really made the Ai family curious. My heart is aroused, not to mention that she has such profound skills at such a young age, which makes the Ai family want to see her even more. Chen'er, when are you going to bring that girl to show the Ai family?"
Wu Zechen never expected that the Queen Mother would actually ask him to bring Xia Luotong into the palace to meet him, and he felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
He coughed lightly and said with some hesitation: "Isn't it necessary to meet you? It's nothing special."
The Queen Mother glanced at him suspiciously. This was the first time she had seen him look so hesitant. She noticed something unusual, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and she became even more curious.
"That's it. You can find time to bring her later, otherwise the Ai family will summon people to the palace themselves."
The Queen Mother directly made the decision. Wu Zechen paused slightly, feeling helpless and a little nervous that even he himself was not aware of.
In order to prevent the Queen Mother from continuing to mention Xia Luotong, he directly changed the subject: "Mu Jinyu arrived in Beijing yesterday and is currently living in the palace. He will be allowed to enter the palace to pay your respects in a few days."
"Okay, okay! Jin Yu has finally arrived, and the Ai family will be waiting for him to enter the palace!"
As soon as Mu Jinyu was mentioned, the Queen Mother happily diverted her attention and pulled Wu Zechen to talk about things related to Mu Jinyu.
When Wu Zechen left the palace and just stepped into Shaoguang Pavilion, he paused slightly, then turned around and walked straight to Xia Luotong's residence. He subconsciously felt that he should tell her about Xia Zhihe in the court today. By the way...see how she is doing.
As soon as he stepped into Xia Luotong's house, what he saw was that the three people in the house were chatting animatedly. No one paid attention to his arrival, and no one even said hello.
Wu Zechen really had never been treated like this, but he didn't say much. Seeing that he had no room to say anything, he walked to the desk beside him and sat down, casually picking up the half-turned book on the table, but But most of his attention fell on the discussion over there.
Unconsciously, the content in the book was completely incomprehensible. He was completely attracted by the person who seemed to be radiating dazzling light, with strong self-confidence, vivid eyebrows, and a bright and charming smile. She was like a spotlight, more attractive than usual, and a side he had never seen before.
Did she actually look like this when she wasn't in front of him...
Or maybe it was because my previous self never paid attention to or discovered another side of her?
For a moment, he was actually in a trance, until...
"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?" Xia Luotong finished a topic and finally had time to talk to the cold-faced Prince next to him who had been doing the background work for a long time.
Wu Zechen really felt Xia Luotong's differential treatment at this time. One second he was talking and laughing with Mu Jinyu and Xu Lao, but when he looked at him the next second, the smile on his face disappeared. Already...
Seeing Mu Jinyu struggling to hold back his laughter, with a look of ridicule on his face, although he was dissatisfied, he knew that he couldn't complain, because the reason why the two of them got along like this today was still his fault.
"Let me tell you what happened in the court today." Wu Zechen paused, ignoring Mu Jinyu who was standing aside, and then said.
"Something happened to Xia Zhihe." Xia Luotong's tone was so sure that he didn't even want to call him dad, so he read out the name directly.
Wu Zechen was not surprised by this: "Yes, he made a fuss to come to the palace to see you, but I refused. In addition, Mr. Li Ge also joined in. Taking advantage of the fact that Li is your aunt, he got it. An opportunity to speak. The other courtiers didn’t say much today, they just watched from the sidelines.”
If it were anyone else, he would never say it like this. He never needs to discuss things with anyone, but for some reason today, he subconsciously wanted to tell her about it, and he also wanted to know. her thoughts.
Before he could think about the reason for doing this, Xia Luotong had already spoken.
"Oh, today they are just testing. No news has spread from the palace. They will not act rashly for the time being. They will not take action until they are sure." She paused and continued, "Just wait for two more days and wait outside. The quarrel is getting more intense, and if we let Mr. Xu help with the acting, it should be almost done."
She looked cold, and as soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something, and immediately added: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
She almost forgot that this was not the time when she could make the decision, it still had to be decided by the cold-faced prince.
But since she temporarily took his boat and borrowed his wind, as long as the course was correct, she didn't mind that the person at the helm was not her.
Her reaction was quick. Wu Zechen looked at her and suddenly felt that the way she was looking back to make amends at this moment was quite cute: "I think so too."
