As soon as she heard that the Queen and the Prince were coming, the Queen Mother, who was so happy one second, turned down her face the next second, and her face changed so quickly that even Xia Luotong was amazed.
It seems that the Queen Mother is quite unhappy with the mother and son. Several of their juniors are still here, and she has been so open about it.
When the queen and the prince entered the palace, they had the same fake smiles on their faces. They looked elegant and noble, but in fact they had ulterior motives. They were worthy of being mother and son.
Xia Luotong thought that these two people might be here for Wu Zechen and himself. After all, not long after he arrived at Cining Palace, the mother and son came to visit. The timing was really coincidental.
But no matter what the mother and son were thinking about, this courtesy was indispensable. When the queen approached, several people, including the queen mother, including Wu Zechen, had already stood up to greet her.
After the Queen saluted the Queen Mother, she turned to Xia Luotong and raised a warm smile. She said with concern: "Princess An is here. She has really worried me for more than half a month. Now she is back." That’s good.”
"Thank you for your concern, Queen." Xia Luotong replied with a faint smile on his face, not far away, without any intention of opening up the topic.
However, Xia Luotong discovered the way the Queen and the Queen Mother got along. It was clear that the two of them knew each other very well and maintained a superficial relationship.
It's not that the Queen didn't notice the Queen Mother's cold face, but she was obviously used to it and didn't care much about it, as long as she was polite.
The same was true for the Queen Mother. Facing the Queen and the Prince's salutes, she just shouted lightly, showing no intention of getting close to each other.
However, facing Xia Luotong's alienation, the queen seemed not to notice it at all. She still had a graceful and dignified smile on her face, and continued to ask with great concern: "The princess has suffered so much outside, but is she in good health?" ? I will ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you, right?"
Although the queen asked questions, the meaning in her words was a bit coercive. If it weren't for the queen mother's presence, she might have called the imperial doctor over.
When Xia Luotong heard what the queen said, his heart skipped a beat. Why did he suddenly need to find an imperial doctor for him? Could it be that the Queen has discovered that she is pregnant?
But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was impossible. She had just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and there were only a few people who knew that she was pregnant, and they were all the people she trusted the most. She did not believe that these people would betray her and expose her pregnancy. Tell the Queen.
Could it be that there is some reason that I don't know about?
Xia Luotong was suspicious in her heart, but it didn't show on her face at all. She calmly refused: "Thank you Queen for your kindness, but no, the young master of Baihua Valley is here and he has already confirmed it."
Mu Jinyu on the side smiled and nodded. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He just sat calmly in his seat and didn't say much.
With Mu Jinyu's identity and status in Baihua Valley, he really didn't need to curry favor with the queen, but his indifferent appearance only made the queen who felt she was extremely noble feel even more displeased.
In particular, the presence of Mu Jinyu made her restrained and hindered many of her actions...
At this time, Xia Luotong moved out of Mu Jinyu and refused her move to call the imperial doctor, which made the queen even more dissatisfied. When she saw Mu Jinyu present just now, she knew that her plan would be difficult to succeed.
But she was unwilling to give up like this. After all, she happened to be in the Queen Mother's Palace at the moment. If she could reveal the news she just got, that would be a great move!
So she continued: "Master Shao Gu's medical skills are naturally reassuring, but having the imperial physician confirm it again is even more reassuring. As juniors, we cannot let the Queen Mother worry about her all day long. The Queen Mother is worried these days. But she is really worried, and Princess An should reassure the Queen Mother."
Before coming to Cining Palace, she had already taken care of the imperial hospital. As long as she could call the imperial doctor over to check her pulse on the spot, she couldn't hide this!
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but spoke again with some urgency: "It doesn't take much to ask the imperial doctor to take a safe pulse. If Princess An is fine, why bother about the imperial doctor taking a pulse, right? That's it. It’s decided, I will send the imperial doctor to you right now.”
The queen was ready to force someone to send the imperial doctor without any explanation. However, before she could speak, the queen mother beside her had already spoken first.
"When did the Empress decide the Cining Palace? Do you still have Aijia in your eyes?" The Empress Dowager looked at the Empress with a cold look on her face.
The queen paused, but she didn't expect that the queen mother would actually stop her. She suppressed the displeasure in her eyes, turned around and said with a smile: "I am also thinking about Princess An. I don't want you to worry about it, the queen mother. I have always respected you the most. It’s you, the Queen Mother.”
No one here believed what the Queen said. They were just words for the occasion, and the Queen herself didn't believe it.
"You'd better tell the emperor something like this, maybe he will believe it." The Queen Mother smiled coldly, revealing sarcasm, "With Jinyu diagnosing Tong'er's pulse, the Ai family is not worried at all, and there is no need for the Queen to do anything extra. ”
The Queen's face suddenly turned ugly after being insulted by the Queen Mother in public. The Queen Mother's sarcastic look and merciless words stung her dignity as a Queen!
This old witch! Why aren't you dead yet? What's the point of being a queen who has pressure on her all day long?
The hands in the Queen's sleeves were clenched into fists, and there was a wave of viciousness in her heart. The expression on her face was finally controlled. However, before she could struggle any more, Wu Zechen, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted her. huatou.
"Is the queen questioning Baihua Valley's medical skills? Or is she dissatisfied with Baihua Valley?" Wu Zechen's voice was as cold as ever, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the coldness in it is already deep.
At this time, Wu Zechen was also suspicious of the Queen's actions, but now he didn't know what the Queen was planning behind her back. He could only wait until later to investigate, but he knew that he would never let the Queen succeed.
Not to mention whether the queen has other purposes, the queen cannot know that Xia Luotong is pregnant now.
In fact, no matter whether Xia Luotong had something she wanted to do or not, Wu Zechen originally planned to hide her pregnancy, because if the news of her pregnancy spread, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces, and those forces would then have It was still unknown what his actions would be, so he could only hide it for a day. He only hoped that Xia Luotong would be safe.
After listening to Wu Zechen's words, the queen's face became even more ugly.
What is the status of Baihua Valley? If Wu Zechen's words get out and people know that she doubts Baihua Valley, her reputation will definitely be affected!
