Chapter 1488 Queen's Test
Emperor Qian looked at his daughter with a serious face and realized for the first time that her daughter had grown up. This must be her daughter's decision after careful consideration, but he couldn't make a decision for the moment, so he sighed:
"Anping, I understand what you are thinking. You go back first and let my father think about it again."
The purpose of Lianyi's trip has been achieved, her sense of presence has been fully enhanced, and she is sure that Emperor Qian will agree, so she accepts it, kowtows solemnly and says:
"My daughter is willing to go to pieces for Da Qian's liver and brains, and she is willing to share the worries of her father!"
This time Emperor Qian didn't say anything, just waved his hand, Lianyi stood up and took two steps back, then turned around and walked out of Qinzheng Hall with his back straight.
Lianyi returned to her palace with her support. As soon as she changed into palace clothes, Fu'an, the eunuch beside the queen, came.
Fu'an was just the opposite of Laifu. He was a lean eunuch who didn't like to smile. He always looked at people with a gloomy look. The original person didn't like this eunuch very much. He usually treated him with some dignity for the sake of his mother, so he treated him privately. This eunuch's attitude is very ordinary.
Lianyi was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Cuizhu was combing her hair again. Through the mirror, she looked at Fu'an who was standing behind her and asked:
"My father-in-law is here to see me. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Princess, the queen invites the eldest princess to have lunch with us."
"I know it. After dressing up, I will go to see my mother."
Lianyi readily agreed, and then Fu'an bowed out and returned to his life.
In less than a stick of incense, Cuizhu had combed Lianyi's hair into a bun. After tying up her broken hair, she asked:
"Princess, which mask should you wear today?"
"Just wear the set of Dongzhu's head and face that my mother gave me."
"Yes, princess!"
Cuizhu waved her hand back, and Cuizhen, who was responsible for managing Ripple's jewelry, immediately took out the set of hair and masks that Ripple had mentioned. The two of them helped Ripple wear it together, and then smiled and praised:
"The princess's skin is pink, and she looks particularly beautiful wearing this headdress, like a burning peach blossom."
"It's just your sweet mouth."
Ripple smiled and then said:
"Cui Zhu and Amber accompany me to Fengyi Palace."
"Yes, princess!"
Lianyi was accompanying her mother to have lunch this time, so she didn't bring a guard of honor. She just brought two eldest maids and a few attendants, and walked to Fengyi Palace.
The meal was already set on the table in front of the queen, but she kept looking at the door, as if she was a little anxious in waiting.
The young man in yellow robe beside him was a little silent, just staring at the food on the table, not knowing where his mind had gone.
"Ning'er, Anping has arrived, go and greet him."
The queen pushed her son who was in a daze and said with some hatred.
"okay!"
The eldest prince Qian Zhaoning immediately came to his senses, then stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall, and met Lianyi face to face as he walked in.
"Sister Huang, you are here."
"Well, my mother asked me to come over and have lunch with her. I thought you should be here too."
Lianyi pursed her lips and smiled, then walked in side by side with the other party, asking as she walked:
"Royal brother, how are your recent homeworks? Has Taifu given you any extra homework?"
"I haven't been too busy with schoolwork recently. The Tutor asked us to read "National Policy"."
Qian Zhaoning followed Lianyi's words and replied.
"You two, sister and brother, stop chatting now. The food is cold. Eat first."
The queen said with a smile on her face.
Seeing Lianyi's calm expression, the queen felt relieved. She already knew about her daughter's meeting with the emperor early in the morning. Although her people could not approach the Qinzheng Hall, she guessed that it was her daughter who went to talk about being a hostage. At least that was is a good start.
The three of them adhered to the principle of "eating without speaking" and finished their lunch in silence. After Lianyi rinsed her mouth, the queen couldn't wait to get to the point.
"Anping, I heard that you went to see your father this morning."
Listening to the probing tone of the other party, Lianyi suddenly felt that it was not worth it for the original person. People say that a mother is strong, and she was not expected to disobey the emperor's order to save her daughter, but she personally pushed her daughter into the fire pit.
She knew that it was the last resort, but for the sake of her own status and future glory, the queen still chose to do this. It shows that she didn't have much love for the original person. At least under the premise of weighing the interests, she gave up first. It’s the daughter.
These thoughts just passed by in a flash. Lianyi nodded lightly and said in the Queen's anxious eyes:
"Mother, don't worry, my daughter will not let her brother be used as a hostage. I have made it clear to my father that I will go to Luo Panguo in Ning'er's stead."
After hearing what Ripple said, the queen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
“That’s good”
Then she met Lianyi's dark eyes, and suddenly realized that it was wrong to say that. She coughed slightly in embarrassment, and then her eyes immediately turned red. She picked up a handkerchief and lightly touched the corners of her eyes, and then choked and said:
"Anping, don't blame Queen Mother for being partial. There is no other way. As long as Ning'er can inherit the throne, there is still a chance to save you.
Without Ning'er, we, mother and daughter, will have a difficult time in this palace. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, we will not end well. "
Lianyi felt a little nauseous looking at the other party's hypocritical appearance, but still cooperated and said:
"My daughter understands that it is said that raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. The younger brother has not grown into a towering tree and still needs the protection of the mother. My daughter is an adult and a royal princess, so she should shoulder her own responsibilities.
It’s just that we have traveled far and wide, and I don’t know if I will be able to return to Daqian in my lifetime. My daughter is also afraid that she will not be able to win a place in Luo Pan Kingdom and pave the way for Ning’er.”
Ripple also said with red eyes.
Only Qian Zhaoning looked down and did not say a word. He neither said that he would not let his sister go for him nor promised that he would rescue her sister. He just remained silent.
The queen glanced at her son who was in a daze, frowned and turned to Ripple:
"Anping, my mother knows that you have been wronged this time. If you go to Luo Panguo, you will definitely need to take care of yourself. I have prepared some things for you to make things easier for you."
After the queen finished speaking, she waved her hand towards Fu'an.
Fu'an immediately came over with a small box in his arms, placed the box in front of Lianyi, and then gently opened the lid, revealing the gold, silver, and jade jewelry inside.
After reading it, Lianyi showed a grateful smile, stood up and saluted the queen:
"Thank you, mother, for thinking about your daughter. She will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Why are you so polite? Since you and I are a mother and daughter, I naturally hope for the best for you."
The queen said with a sigh.
"Mother, after having dinner with you and the emperor's brother today, my daughter will start preparing to leave. I have not come to pay my respects to my mother in the past few days. Please forgive me."
"My mother knows that, go ahead and make preparations. If necessary, send someone to Fengyi Palace to tell your mother, and she will think of something for you."
"Yes, Queen Mother, my daughter will not be polite to you."
Lianyi exchanged greetings with the queen for a few more words, and then left Fengyi Palace with the small box in her arms. After leaving the palace gate, the box was transferred to Cuizhu's hands.
Not far after the group of people walked out, Qian Zhaoning caught up with them:
"Sister Huang, please stay."
My dear friends, Fengling is continuing to go through the tribulation. It took her three chapters three times to write them down. She has a sore back and can’t sit still. Please forgive me.
