The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and the queen lowered her eyebrows in an almost flattering manner. The queen mother's curiosity was completely aroused, and she asked the queen what kind of favor she wanted.
"Mother, Cheng Qian has been taken by your majesty to teach national affairs since he was a child. He has never been obsessed with men and women. Apart from Huining, there is only one beauty in the prince's residence who was rewarded by his son. A few days ago, Cheng Qian saw a woman It entered my heart, and I asked my son to come to me yesterday. This child has never asked me for anything in these years, and it is rare for him to reply, so I have the shame to come to ask for my mother."
"You are the queen. Just tell me which family the prince likes. What do you want in the longevity palace?"
The queen leaned forward and said with burning eyes:
"If it were a girl from another family, I would not dare to trouble my mother. But the woman who Cheng Qian likes is a pearl. How can I dare to make the decision without asking my mother?"
"Pearl?"
The Queen and the Queen Mother chatted for half an hour before returning to Fengqi Palace. The Queen Mother half-squinted her eyes and let Yuzhi gently rub her temples. After a while, she said:
"What do you think the Queen is going to do? Sue for peace or seek help?"
Chen Momo leaned forward and said, "I see, I am asking for peace and for your help, the Queen Mother."
"Huh, I didn't look down on Qin Zongheng before. When I decided to marry Mingzhu and Qin Zongheng, I also looked at the prince's face and thought that in the future... with this kind of relationship, the prince would be able to find stability for the Yue family. I never thought about it. My good intentions actually hurt my cousin.”
"You don't have to be upset about this. My cousin is a very good woman to begin with. Qin Zongheng is uneducated and has no skills, and now he has damaged his roots. Fortunately, my cousin is not married to her."
The Queen Mother sighed, both in remembrance and in relief:
"Behind Huining is Grand Master Yao, and His Majesty personally granted the marriage. As long as she doesn't make any big mistakes, the position of the Crown Princess is quite stable. That's why I didn't let Mingzhu enter the Prince's Mansion, and chose Qin Zongheng as the next best option. "
Chen Momo lowered her voice and said: "From what the Queen said just now, the Crown Princess seems to have suffered a fundamental injury. She may not be able to survive for another two years..."
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and said, "That's why she dared to promise Mingzhu the position of concubine in the future. If she becomes the concubine, it would be feasible... Call Mingzhu into the palace tomorrow."
Cuiwei Palace.
In the past few days after being ordered not to go to court, Chu Chengyao went to the palace to pay his respects as usual, without even the slightest hint of bad luck.
Just after having lunch with Concubine Rou and the little princess, the palace servants came to report that the queen had stayed in the Longevity Palace for two hours.
Because of Zheng Cheng's "gift" for the emperor, Concubine Rou was frightened and her face looked much thinner than it had been some time ago.
After hearing the palace man's words, Concubine Rou's expression became angry, and her thin face showed a bit of acrimony:
"Knowing that the person from Wangshu Palace couldn't investigate, she deliberately leaked the information to me, leading me to send someone to investigate, which made His Majesty angry. Now she's taking advantage of my grounding to go to the Queen Mother to please you, you vicious bitch! "
A hint of impatience flashed in Chu Chengyao's eyes, and he quickly suppressed it:
"Mother and concubine, you will gain wisdom after every experience. Even though you are in your own palace, it is better to be cautious in your words and deeds, just in case the walls have ears."
After finishing speaking, he said in a guilty tone:
"This time my mother and concubine suffered, it is really my son's fault. I will definitely be more careful in the future and protect my mother and concubine."
Concubine Rou said it was not strange, but she was worried and said:
"Will a complete case implicate you?"
Chu Chengyao said some words of comfort, comforted Concubine Rou and the little princess, and left the palace.
