Chapter 1834 Extra Story: Love (15)
The queen had already been invited to the banquet table early, and she sat there with a layer of paleness on her face and forced a smile.
Even the old nurse standing behind her tensed up, and her palms were soaked in cold sweat.
The man on the opposite side didn't seem to notice anything, drinking tea, enjoying singing and dancing, with a slight smile on his face, as usual.
"Mrs. Ji from the Grand Tutor's Mansion is here—" Near noon, the eunuch sang a report outside the hall, and Mrs. Ji was brought in.
After saluting and taking a seat, the mother and daughter faced the emperor on three sides.
The atmosphere was weird for a while.
"Let's pass on the meal." Yan Rongjin ordered to the side, turned his gaze to Mrs. Ji's face, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard that there was some unhappiness between the queen and the wife, so Mrs. Ji wanted to visit the palace. The queen broke up unhappy. I thought, how can there be any overnight feud between mother and daughter? No matter how madam is angry, it must be for the sake of the queen, so I made up my mind to make peace. After today's banquet, those unhappy Even if it is uncovered, what does Mrs. Ji say?"
"My wife is terrified, thank the emperor for your trouble!" Mrs. Ji hurriedly saluted again, with a look of sincerity and fear.
Yan Rongjin raised his hand falsely, "Ma'am, you are very polite, you and I are considered a family, since it is at a family banquet, there is no need to be extra polite. Since the queen entered the palace, she has been the master of the harem, and her mother's family is so close. It's time to go back and have a look, Madam is worried about the queen, and the queen must also miss you as a mother, this time I enter the palace, I will stay in the palace for a few days, mother and daughter talk more and get close."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
During the conversation between the two, the queen sat aside, her face became paler and her smile became more forced.
During this period, Mrs. Ji sneaked a few glances at her face, and her heart became more and more uneasy. She looked at the queen's personal nanny again, but the old nanny didn't look sideways and didn't dare to look her way.
Madam Ji's face turned pale.
The whole meal process was extremely quiet, and Yan Rongjin didn't say much else afterward, as if inviting her into the palace was really just a meal and a peacemaker. After the meal, he walked away.
The queen, Mrs. Ji, mother and daughter were left in the palace, and before they had time to say more, they were respectfully sent back to the queen's bedroom by the eunuch.
After all the servants retreated, Mrs. Ji immediately asked anxiously, "What's going on, what is the emperor's intention?"
The queen smiled wryly, and looked up at her mother, "Mother, tell me first, what did you do after you left the palace and returned home that day?"
"What do you mean, I—" Mrs. Ji paused, as if remembering something, and then her whole body flickered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows?"
"Mother thinks, is there anything that can be completely hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears? You tell me clearly, what exactly did you do, and what did my father and grandfather do!" The queen's voice became more and more serious, "Are you It’s not true, to deal with Princess Hongdou? Do you know that doing so will kill me!”
"Yu'er!" Hearing her daughter's voice getting louder, Mrs. Ji hurriedly came back to her senses and let out a low drink, then looked around, "Pay attention to your identity, you are the queen now! Also, what can I do if you ask me like this? What did you do? It was just a letter to King Nanling, telling him to take good care of his daughter!"
"What about my father and grandfather?" asked the Queen.
Mrs. Ji was stopped at once.
Seeing her reaction, the queen's eyes showed self-mockery, "Mother can't answer, or dare not answer? If it is really just a letter to Nanling King, the emperor's reaction will definitely not be violent!"
