Her marriage to Xiao Yan was approved by the Queen Mother herself and granted by the Emperor.
Now, if Xiao Yan treats her like this, the emperor and the queen mother will definitely be unhappy if they find out.
But, that's not the result she wants.
She shook her head at the queen, "Thank you queen for thinking about me, but I'm really fine now."
"You... don't want to go back to Prince Li's Mansion?" the queen asked.
She nodded.
The queen sighed softly, and then said: "I heard that King Li often visited the imperial hospital during this period and brought many imperial doctors to the palace. I don't know who fell ill in the palace, so he could be so concerned. .”
While speaking, the queen had been paying attention to her reaction, hoping to see a hint of dissatisfaction with Xiao Yan from her.
Because Xiao Yan’s enemies are the queen’s friends.
But Luo Yao didn't have any trouble hearing this, as if she was listening to an unrelated person.
The queen looked surprised and asked, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry?"
"You are Princess Li, but Prince Li has always been thinking about others. Are you not angry at all?"
Luo Yao smiled, "He hasn't been thinking about others for a day or two. What should I be angry about?"
The queen moved her lips, not knowing how to answer the question.
Not getting the results she expected, the queen was a little unwilling.
The queen was about to speak when Luo Yao spoke first.
"You and my mother are good friends. Have you ever heard her mention that she likes plum blossoms before?"
"plum bossom?"
The Empress thought carefully, shook her head and said, "I have never heard her mention that she likes plum blossoms. What's wrong?"
"When I came back, I saw a picture of plum blossoms in the room she had lived in before. I thought she liked plum blossoms very much."
"It's normal for people to change their preferences at some point because of certain things." The Queen said.
After thinking about it, she took out the jade pendant again, "Have you seen this jade pendant?"
The queen stared at the jade pendant in her hand, "This jade pendant actually has the word "Yu" engraved on it. Where does this come from?"
The fact that the queen would ask this means that she had never seen this jade pendant in Lan Qin's place.
"This is also what my mother left behind."
The queen looked at the jade pendant repeatedly and said, "It was probably given by your mother's good friend! Your mother has been to many places and made friends from all over the world. It is not strange to give her anything."
Makes sense.
She put away the jade pendant and didn't ask any more questions.
The queen talked to her about Xiao Yan again. Her words seemed to mean that she wanted to get closer to her, but she also didn't want her to have a good relationship with Xiao Yan.
The Queen is really strange.
She absent-mindedly chatted with the queen, and finally stayed up until the evening, when the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was finally about to begin.
She followed the queen to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was held.
Because the Queen Mother is not in good health, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner will only be held by the royal family and no ministers from the DPRK will participate.
As soon as Luo Yao followed the queen and appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a sharp gaze fell on her.
Realizing that someone was looking at her, she also looked at that person.
She and Xiao Yan looked at each other like this.
The Queen also noticed Xiao Yan and pointed at Xiao Yan with a smile, "King Li is over there. Princess Li, please sit next to King Li!"
"good."
After Luo Yao saluted the emperor and the queen mother, she walked to Xiao Yan and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Xiao Yan's cold and low voice came.
"Aren't you not coming?"
"I came if I wanted to," Luo Yao said.
Xiao Yan snorted coldly and said nothing more.
During the dinner, Luo Yao and Xiao Yan didn't say a word. If they weren't sitting close to each other, others would think that they didn't know each other at all.
Luo Yao didn't come here for the dinner party. She ate as soon as she was seated. No one called her, and she didn't bother to take the initiative to talk to others.
Xiao Yan chatted happily with the emperor and the queen mother, and the queen echoed from the side.
She was the only one, like an outsider.
After a while, the Queen Mother suddenly looked at her and said, "It must have been two months since Ayan got married!"
"Yes." Xiao Yan said.
The Queen Mother's eyes wandered back and forth on Luo Yao, and asked: "The Ai family seems to have a good appetite lately."
"After returning to my mother, the food in the palace is delicious."
"You must be happy, right?"
"puff--"
The Queen Mother's words made Luo Yao spit out the wine she just drank.
Xiao Yan frowned in disgust.
The emperor and queen looked at her with smiles.
The maid waiting on the side immediately handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
She was so anxious that she waved her hands and responded, "Nothing."
"You have been married for a while, and it's time to have a child. The Ai family is still waiting for a grandson."
Luo Yao glanced at Xiao Yan with her peripheral vision, hoping that Prince Xiao would say a few words for her.
But Xiao Yan didn't squint his eyes and didn't notice her hint at all, or he was not willing to help her at all.
In this case, don't blame her for being rude!
She sighed softly, looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Having a child is not a matter of one person. I am really full of ambition but not enough!"
"..."
These words made the scene suddenly quiet.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yan and Luo Yao with strange eyes, but no one spoke.
Xiao Yan glared at her, gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, the prince doesn't know best."
"you……"
The Queen Mother interrupted the argument between the two and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Luo Yao turned her eyes, lowered her head with a look of grievance, and did not answer.
The Queen Mother cast her gaze on Xiao Yan, "Ayan, what's going on?"
"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense. Some things cannot be rushed. Just let nature take its course."
"If you are sick, treat it. Your Majesty, you have nothing to be embarrassed about." Luo Yao said.
I have been working professionally for thirty years and have never lost.
"Luo! Yao!"
A hint of cunning flashed across the corner of Luo Yao's mouth, and she continued: "Everyone present is from my own family, what is your lord to be embarrassed about?"
"Ayan, couldn't you..."
The Queen Mother did not continue speaking, her face was full of worry.
Xiao Yan hurriedly looked at the Queen Mother and explained: "It's nothing, Queen Mother, don't listen to her nonsense."
"My concubine made a mistake. Don't take it to heart, Queen Mother." Luo Yao explained for Xiao Yan.
The words had been spoken, and the three Queen Mothers had taken them into their hearts.
The dinner ended early, and the Queen Mother left Luo Yao behind and asked her to take her back to Cining Palace.
On the way back to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask again, "Ayana...what exactly is going on?"
"The prince has been taking medicine recently, and he probably suffered a minor injury."
"Is there no big problem?" the Queen Mother asked again.
"Then I have to ask the doctor, he won't let me see it."
The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, "Ayan is very stubborn. You must not be on the same level as him."
"The Queen Mother speaks strongly."
On the way back, the Queen Mother told Luo Yao a lot about Xiao Yan.
Luo Yao listened carefully and didn't say much.
After sending the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother held her hand and told her again: "The Ai family knows that Vice General Liu's daughter lives in Prince Li's Mansion, and Ayan has no feelings for her at all. Don't take it seriously." .”
"Vice General Liu's daughter? Are you talking about Liu Yinyin?"
The Queen Mother asked back: "You don't know about Vice Admiral Liu? Ayan never mentioned it to you?"
