The next morning, the old eunuch came to the small courtyard again.
"Prince Consort, Princess, today is New Year's Eve. Your Majesty invites you to come to the palace for a gathering."
The old eunuch's attitude was very respectful.
Zhao Tianming looked at Wan'er.
Wan'er said: "I understand, just go back and we will go there then."
"Yes, princess, I will send a carriage to pick you up and the Prince Consort."
After the old eunuch left, Wan'er suddenly sighed.
Zhao Tianming was puzzled: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"
Wan'er looked at him and said, "Tell me, how is my biological mother doing now? Is she still alive?"
Suddenly, Zhao Tianming didn't know what to say.
he does not know.
Wan'er was actually planning to ask last time, but she didn't dare to ask.
Maybe it’s the fear of being disappointed.
After a while, Zhao Tianming asked: "Will the Queen be here tonight?"
He doesn't like the Queen very much.
At the beginning, that woman wanted to send Wan'er to the grassland.
Perhaps her starting point was good, for the stability of the Qin Empire.
But in Zhao Tianming's view, this was extremely stupid behavior.
If the stability of the empire needs to be maintained by a woman, then the empire will not be far from decline.
Wan'er said: "It should be here."
She became even more worried.
Because she didn't want to see the Queen either.
"It's okay. I'll take care of everything. Just in time, I still have something to ask my father-in-law."
Zhao Tianming smiled and hugged Wan'er into his arms.
In the evening, the old eunuch came and drove the carriage to pick up the two of them.
Arriving at the palace, the two were led to a palace.
The New Year atmosphere here is very light, there are no lanterns and decorations, and it is very deserted.
Emperor Qin and the Queen have been waiting for a long time, and no one else attended tonight's dinner.
Even the other princesses and princes had no chance to participate.
This was Emperor Qin's arrangement, and the queen naturally did not dare to raise objections.
Seeing Zhao Tianming and Wan'er, the Empress showed no signs of anger and seemed very enthusiastic.
After inviting the two of them to sit down, the eunuch began to serve the food.
There are hot pots, stir-fries, soups...
There are many dishes, the appearance is very good, and the taste is excellent.
I have to say that the chefs in the palace are really good at their craftsmanship. Zhao Tianming took a few bites and was full of praise.
The old eunuch was pouring wine aside.
Zhao Tianming and Emperor Qin had a few drinks.
Emperor Qin winked at the queen on the side.
The queen smiled and said: "Zhao Tianming, what the emperor means is that you will get married after the Lantern Festival. Someone will arrange it for you then. The main reason for letting Wan'er come back for the New Year this time is for this marriage. You won't have it." Opinion?"
Zhao Tianming was startled and frowned.
He really has an opinion.
There are several women waiting for him below.
Even if I want to get married, it will be with a few women, and since everyone is a practitioner, there is no need to rush this matter.
If you can't protect yourself, why get married?
At that time, it will give his opponents an opportunity to take advantage.
So last night when Wan'er said she wanted to go to the lower world to stay for a while, Zhao Tianming agreed.
As long as there is no one he cares about around him, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to look forward or backward when doing things.
But it’s hard to disobey the emperor’s order...
Zhao Tianming didn't know how to refuse for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the queen saw his embarrassment and couldn't help but said in a bad tone: "Zhao Tianming, what do you mean? Is my Wan'er still not worthy of you? Or do you not want to marry her? You have to know, if it weren't for you last time, we would The relationship between the Great Qin Empire and the Prairie Royal Court will not be so bad. Now the Prairie Royal Court has millions of soldiers on the border, eyeing our Great Qin. It is estimated that after the spring, they will invade on a large scale. You don't want to marry Wan'er yet? ?”
Wan'er's face looked a little ugly.
Zhao Tianming's anger suddenly came.
He frowned and said, "Mother, what do you mean? Is it my fault that the grassland wants to attack our Great Qin Empire?"
"Isn't it true? If you hadn't interfered, Wan'er would have married Yuan Chuyi. Da Qin and Prairie Royal Court are in-laws. How could they go south?"
complained the queen.
Zhao Tianming sneered and said: "It's simply ridiculous. The crisis of the Qin Empire has nothing to do with Wan'er. In the final analysis, the prosperity of a country is related to the strength of the country. It has nothing to do with a woman. It’s related.”
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
The queen was a little angry.
"Your Majesty, doesn't what I said make sense?"
Zhao Tianming asked Emperor Qin.
Emperor Qin's expression remained as usual, as if he had not heard what he said.
The Queen was in high spirits.
"Bold, Zhao Tianming, you are simply disrespectful and lawless. I am the queen of the Qin Empire and Wan'er's mother. How dare you contradict me! You are too uneducated, aren't you? This is how Mr. Da taught you of?"
sweat……
He actually mentioned Mr. Big.
Zhao Tianming's face turned livid: "Queen, please be careful what you say. My father has a bad temper. If I knew you were talking about him like this, if he comes back from the fairy world, you will be doomed."
This is a threat, a naked threat.
The Queen Empress mocked: "Do you think he can come back? It's simply ridiculous. If we hadn't protected you, do you think you could be alive and well now?"
Zhao Tianming sneered: "You're protecting me? I accept what your Majesty said, but don't you think it's ridiculous when you say that? Besides, I don't need anyone to protect me. By the way, my father has a bad temper, so maybe not Will come back, after all, he won't be the same as you, but my sister's temper is even worse. She is also a woman, and she will not be so grand. If she knows that you dare to bully me like this, be careful she will kill you."
"Your sister, let her try to kill me."
The queen is tough-talking.
Emperor Qin's face was a little gloomy.
"Shut up."
"Did you hear that? Shut up."
The queen snorted coldly.
Suddenly, Zhao Tianming was speechless.
He stood up and said, "In that case, there's nothing more to say. I can't eat this meal."
Wan'er immediately stood up and said to the queen: "Let me remind you that you are not my biological mother, so you are not qualified to dictate my marriage. For the sake of my father, I will not be with you." I don’t care, but you must not force him, otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy to you.”
"You've rebelled, have you rebelled? How dare you talk to me like that!"
The queen stood up.
But then, with a snap, she was slapped on the face and knocked to the ground.
Emperor Qin took action.
Suddenly, the whole place was silent.
They were all stunned.
The queen covered her face and looked at Emperor Qin aggrievedly: "You, you hit me!"
"I told you to shut up just now, why do you always have to provoke me?" Emperor Qin sighed: "I have tolerated you for a long time, go back, if there is a next time, this queen, you don't have to Come on, don’t worry about Wan’er’s affairs anymore.”
The queen wanted to say something else, but Emperor Qin said coldly: "Get out!"
