After leaving Shen Mansion, Song Yuan went to the army.
There was no curfew in the Dayuan Dynasty, and when Song Yuan returned to the East Palace, the moon was already above the branches.
Stepping on the bluestone path and turning the corner of the palace road, I saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the East Palace, blocked by guards.
"You slaves, you are so brave, even the queen dares to stop you." The palace maid's angry voice was particularly harsh and loud in the silent palace.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Highness has ordered that no one else can enter while he is away."
"How shameless. The Queen is the biological mother of the Crown Prince. How can she compare with outsiders?"
The queen stood aside solemnly, saying nothing while someone else spoke for her.
"This..." The guard looked at the angry face of the palace maid and saw that the quiet queen was a little confused.
But this entanglement was suppressed as soon as it arose, and his stern face became more determined than before: "I only listen to His Highness's arrangements. Please ask your Majesty to wait outside for Your Highness to come back."
"You!" The palace maid was angry, stamped her feet unwillingly, and turned to look at the queen.
The woman in the phoenix crown and attire condensed her eyes, smiled softly and said: "It seems that the prince treats me as an outsider, that's all the prince, you can't tell your identity clearly."
"Come here, take them down to get fifty big boards."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The young father-in-laws who came with the Queen responded sharply and were about to step forward.
"My servants are short-sighted, and they will be punished if they are left alone for a while. The empress has a golden body, so it is better not to get angry."
After watching the show for a while after turning the corner, Song Yuan appeared with Eleven.
Hearing the prince's voice, the queen immediately concealed the displeasure in her eyes and turned to face Song Yuan tenderly and lovingly.
"It's just a few servants. The prince can just watch and deal with it. However, the prince was busy with your father's birthday party a few days ago, so you worked hard."
"It is the duty of a son to share his father's burdens."
"You kid, you are just too honest."
The queen glared at the prince with a familiar attitude, and wanted to step forward to ask Song Yuan to speak, but she did not dare to make a move under Song Yuan's gaze.
The woman secretly resented that Mingyu, who was her flesh and blood, loved to be close to her, but Song Yuan was as wary of her as the heirs of those bitches.
Before Mingyu, she still liked this eldest daughter very much. She was smart, sensible, cautious, and didn't need to worry about anything.
But now she has Song Mingyu. After all, Song Yuan is a woman. There is no precedent for a woman to be the emperor since ancient times. But Song Yuan is a ungrateful person. The prince has been sitting for a long time and he really thinks that she, a woman, has a chance to become the emperor.
It's a pity that Song Yuan's daughter's identity cannot be known, otherwise the whole line of the empress will suffer.
No one in the imperial city wanted the prince to be removed more than the queen, which would not only relieve her worries, but also make room for her younger son.
A mother-in-law is like a son. No matter how gentle the queen is on the surface, Song Yuan can still see the disgust and hatred revealed from her face from time to time.
"Why did your mother come here today?"
Yes, her good mother hated her more than anyone else for taking her younger son's position, but her good mother had forgotten who pushed her to this position just to compete for favor.
Since you have done it, you should bear the consequences.
"Let's take a look at you. There is no one around Yuan'er who understands both coldness and warmth. The Queen Mother thought that you were not young anymore, so she brought someone back for you."
As the queen spoke, Song Yuan saw a pretty and decent-looking palace maid walking out from behind her.
After the palace maid came out, she saluted Song Yuanfu, with two pink clouds on her face, acting like a little girl.
After hearing this, Song Yuan's aura suddenly sank: "What does the queen mean by giving the orphan a palace maid? Could it be that she feels that the orphan is not worthy of the golden branches and jade leaves outside?"
The woman's well-maintained face twitched, and the queen laughed dryly: "Yuan'er, the queen didn't mean it this way." Don't you know whether it is worthy or not? How can you, a daughter, marry those young ladies from aristocratic families?
"I'm lonely, please come back, mother."
"Okay, then I won't disturb the prince anymore." The queen said goodbye as Song Yuan said, and gave Hongxiu a wink before leaving.
Hongxiu nodded and was about to stay when she heard Song Yuan say coldly: "Mother, please take this palace maid away, I don't like this lowly maid with impure thoughts."
"Your Highness..." Hong Xiu's face turned pale. She was with the Queen and she didn't dare to disobey the Queen. It would be wrong to say that she had no selfish motives at all.
In this harem, she would never dare to dream of having a relationship with the prince, but now she has lost her usefulness and the consequences can be imagined.
"Okay, Hongxiu, please go back with me." At this time, the queen could only compromise.
After sending the Queen off, Song Yuan walked into the East Palace and asked Shiyi to reward the two subordinates guarding the door.
Back in the palace, Eleven did not leave. He skillfully poured a cup of tea for Song Yuan.
"Your Highness, what is the queen doing?" He really couldn't figure out what kind of maid the queen would give to the prince.
"It's just a harem woman's trick."
Her mother-in-law really thought that she could stand firm in the court only because of the old emperor's order to establish the throne.
"Don't worry about her. Send someone to keep an eye on Shen Yi."
"Yes, then will the people sent by His Highness to kill Young Master Shen still take action?"
"Let's wait until this period of time passes."
Shen Mochi broke into her secret and must not leave such consequences, but now Shen Yi is very wary of her, and it is easy for Shen Yi to find out if he attacks at this time.
"I heard that the third child has been very close to the number one scholar recently?" The topic changed and Song Yuan mentioned Song Beichen.
"The third prince has recently become close to a few scholars of the younger generation, but the fifth prince is also interested in making friends with the top scholars in new subjects."
"Oh." Song Yuan nodded, a little amused, "Is there still room in the court? The number one scholar seems to have been free for some time."
"Your Highness, there is another position for the Royal Envoy that has just been vacated."
"Well, you can arrange for someone to ask the emperor for a decree from the number one scholar."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Go down."
"My subordinates say goodbye."
This court has not seen any waves for many years, which is a bit boring.
It's boring to always be sneaky and timid. Every time those little tricks are solved by the people below before they can reach her. How about she help them add fuel to the fire and let her royal brothers consciously sit in front of the chessboard.
Yao Mansion.
In a remote courtyard, Yao Qianhuan slumped on a wooden chair after sending away the cowardly mother of the original owner. She picked up her tea cup and drank down last night's herbal tea in one gulp, feeling extremely depressed.
"No wonder the original owner had no choice but to seduce the prince. His father doesn't love his mother, and he was suppressed by that little lady. That's why he was so stupid as to seduce a villain as terrible as the prince."
The young lady of Yao Mansion is the quasi-royal concubine of the fifth prince. If the original owner wants to make a comeback, doesn't he have to target the fifth prince's brother, the prince?
It's a pity that there is Cui Yingying beside the prince, and before he can do anything, he is set up by the vicious female partner.
"Master host, your mission is to conquer the male protagonist and help him ascend to the throne. Until now, you have never even seen the male protagonist's face." 003 looked at Yao Qianhuan's messed up look and hated the iron.
The last time I left the palace, I said I was going to meet the male protagonist, but it turned out that the host had found a place to fill his stomach!
"Why are you so anxious? The male protagonist doesn't like her childhood sweetheart, so capturing him is not a matter of minutes."
"But I have a doubt about the system."
"What doubts?" 003 subconsciously became vigilant.
"I found a painting in the original owner's room. Do you know the person on it?" Yao Qianhuan took out a scroll of hanging paintings from her sleeves and unfolded it, "Look who this beautiful little brother is?"
The poor beauty appears in the picture.
003 was speechless and choked: "...Host, have you read the plot carefully? Since the original owner wants to seduce the prince, can she still put other people's portraits in her boudoir?"
"Oh~" Yao Qianhuan said in a long voice, "This prince is not ugly. 003, can I change my target?"
"Haha." 003 always sneered, "Yan Gou, I don't care whether you capture the prince or not. Anyway, the male protagonist must capture him. If you want to live for two more days, I advise you not to pay attention to the villain."
"How will you know if you don't try." The girl carefully put away the portrait and raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile that was sure to win.
