Although the emperor turned over Li Guiren's sign, he went to the Queen's Palace.
Since that day when we had dinner together, the emperor had never been to the queen's place. The queen had asked for permission to see her several times, but he had always turned her away.
The queen was in tears all day long, unable to explain herself and worried.
Now that the emperor suddenly arrived, she was overjoyed and hurried out to greet him.
After entering the palace, she served tea and soup diligently.
She tried hard to find some topics to talk about that would bring them back to the past, when the emperor was still very kind to her.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that I prayed at Wufu Temple the year before last to pray for the prince..."
The emperor glanced over with a cold look, and the queen suddenly choked, her lips trembled, and then she remembered that she went there with the imperial concubine to pray for that time.
The emperor doesn't like people talking about his concubine.
Aunt Qi and Aunt Lan also winked hard and sighed in their hearts. The Queen always mentioned inappropriate things at inappropriate times.
The emperor doesn't like hearing about the imperial concubine and the prince now.
The queen lowered her eyes. Her original intention was to use this topic to explain that the prince came to have dinner with the same family that day. It was just a coincidence and not a deliberate arrangement on her part.
But in fact, she felt vaguely unwilling in her heart. So what if it was a deliberate arrangement? The prince is also the emperor's son, and the emperor used to be full of praise for the prince.
The emperor looked at her expression and said coldly: "The queen is afraid of me? What do I have to be afraid of?"
The queen forced a smile and said, "I only respect the emperor and have no fear. We are husband and wife, and there is no such thing as fear between husband and wife."
"When did the queen learn to say these high-sounding words? You have never been the one who never means what you say."
The queen's expression froze, "Your Majesty, you think I mean what I said? Everything I said is true, including the dinner that day, I didn't plan it intentionally, everything was just a coincidence, and I don't understand why the Emperor can't Dinner with the prince's family? What dissatisfaction does the emperor have with the prince? If there is a misunderstanding between father and son, can't you make it clear?"
"Misunderstanding?" The emperor sneered, "What misunderstanding do I have about him? If he can become the prince today, isn't it because I canonize him? I have high hopes for him, so why misunderstand him?"
The queen said: "If there is no misunderstanding, why does the emperor dislike him so much now? He is your biological son."
The emperor's eyes fell coldly on her face, "There is no quarrel between father and son. If there is any dispute between the monarch and his ministers, it is not the queen's responsibility to intervene. That is a matter for the previous dynasty."
The queen couldn't help crying and said with regret: "But everything was fine at first. How could it suddenly change? What did the prince do wrong? Can the emperor speak frankly? There is nothing that cannot be said between father and son. What? You must not get into trouble because of a misunderstanding."
The emperor stared at her and said, "Then tell me first, what does the prince want to do?"
The queen was startled, "I don't understand what the emperor wants to ask."
"You know very well what I am asking, and I also know very well what you mother and son want to do. Queen, you have disappointed me."
After the emperor said this, he called for the driver to get up and leave.
However, the queen was disappointed because of his words. She stood there as if struck by lightning, her tears quietly falling. Did she let him down? Over the years, hasn't she done enough? What else should she do to be a qualified queen?
She couldn't help but feel discouraged. Years of depression were stuck in her heart. She smiled sadly, "Why is it that everyone has their own calculations and thoughts, but they never care about whether I am suffering in my heart? I am... Being a queen is enough."
Aunt Qi hurriedly comforted her, "Don't think too much, I will wait until His Highness returns to the palace before making any plans."
The queen waved her hands, her expression already pale, "No, I don't want to see anyone, and I don't want to participate in anything. It's really ridiculous. He knows very well what our mother and son want to do? Does he really know that?"
Aunt Qi sighed, knowing that she was in over her head again, and nothing she said would work at this time.
