The palace man carefully delivered the box to the emperor, opened the lid of the box, and a plate of delicate, soft and tender Bailin cake appeared in front of the emperor.
The queen didn’t expect that Yan Liqing’s vulgar martial artist would have such meticulous time. She couldn’t help but feel even more angry and sneered, “The Fourth Prince is really very thoughtful. She actually wanted to please your father’s favor from the food. But I think that if I have this filial piety, I would always come and go on a daily basis. If you happen to such a sudden encounter, who knows if you don’t have any kindness?”
The queen said this too much, even the princess next to her could not bear it, so she opened her mouth and wanted to scold the queen. But Yan Liqing held the princess’ hand and said slowly to the queen: “I really want to come and go often, but the queen should also restrain her. Otherwise, if I always get rid of the queen when I interact with my father, I will be ridiculed by the queen. Even if I have steel and iron bones, I will not dare to come in the future.”
“You!” The queen didn’t expect that Yan Liqing, who was always taciturn, would become so straightforward that she opened her mouth and scolded him.
But the emperor did not give her a chance and spoke at this time.
“You are the prince, how can you talk to the queen like this!”
It sounded like a reprimand, but the emperor’s tone was a little subtle. If the people in this hall didn’t know what their relationship was before, I would probably think that the person the emperor was looking for was Yan Liqing and others. “Okay, since you’re here, just sit down quickly,” the emperor waved his hand, and several palace servants waited for the princess and others to sit at the table. Seeing this, the queen on the side had to sit down next to the emperor and swallowed the anger just now into her stomach.
Yan Lichen naturally knew that the queen was arrogant and suffered great grievances this time. But now the emperor didn’t say anything, and directly agreed to them to have dinner together. He was a smart person, so he naturally knew that he should keep silent at this moment and should not confront the emperor head-on.
He thought about it and called to Yan Xuzhen: “You have always liked the emperor’s grandfather, why don’t you come to ask the emperor’s grandmother to hug you? Your emperor’s grandmother always loves you the most.”
After that, he secretly pressed the queen’s hand under the table, but there was no change on his face.
The queen naturally understood what he meant, and realized that she was too rash, so she quickly followed Yan Lichen’s words and said, “This child is so close to the emperor because of the emperor’s majesty and dragon energy lingering on his side. This palace is a woman, so naturally she cannot be compared with the emperor.”
When the princess heard this, she couldn’t help but say: The mother and son are used to making the emperor happy. The words are very smooth. Not to mention the emperor, even others, I am afraid that I can’t stand such compliments this time.
Sure enough, the emperor suddenly burst into laughter.While smiling, he said, “The mind of a little child is naturally unpredictable. Why does this bring about my identity? I see you, but I will deliberately praise me!”
“How could it be!” The queen smiled tenderly and sweetly: “Not to mention in this palace, if the emperor wears casual clothes and visits the people, the people will feel close to you. You forgot that Chen’er accompanied you out of the palace for private visits last year, and the children you met on the road trusted and loved you very much. I heard that she followed you all the way out of the city before she stopped!”
When it comes to flattery, the queen is the first, and others are really embarrassed to call it the second. Who doesn’t know that the children on the streets and alleys like to watch the fun the most. How could they not be curious when they saw such gorgeous clothes and rich businessmen? They just wanted to ask for some candy. Such a normal thing came to the queen’s mouth and turned out to be the emperor’s dragon energy, which was very different from others.
The princess felt disgusted, but the emperor loved to listen to this very much. Before the queen could finish her words, she burst into laughter.
“You have not managed the harem these days, and your temper has become much gentler. It is better to…”
The princess thought that if the queen had regained the power to manage the six palaces, wouldn’t the hard work of the past be wasted?
