Chapter 518: Are we meeting a Fifth Brother?

Fengyi Palace.

The queen sat upright on the phoenix chair, with a gentle smile on her elegant face, and waved to Song Yanxi.

She said, "The last time I saw you, you were so small, and in the blink of an eye you have grown so big."

Thinking about Yan Qing's instructions, Song Yanxi said respectfully, "When I was young, I was weak and mostly raised by my grandfather. I rarely had the opportunity to enter the palace."

"Yes." The Queen took her hand and sighed, "Your mother was angry when she gave birth to you, and you were born prematurely. When you were born, you were as thin as a kitten. It was heartbreaking to see you.

If His Majesty hadn't stopped me, Old Master Yan would have drawn his sword and killed that pregnant concubine who came to the house to make trouble. "

Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and did not respond.

Before entering the palace, Yan Qing only told her that the Queen had a kind nature and that she didn't need to be coaxed or fawned over specially, but she should not be taken lightly either.

A person who has no prince but can sit firmly on the throne of queen and manage such a large harem well can never be a weak person.

However, considering that Emperor Xuande had more than ten children who grew up, their queen was very tolerant.

The Queen sighed softly and said, "Look at me, I only say things that will displease you.

As we get older, it's inevitable that we'll nag a bit, so please bear with me."

Song Yanxi said, "Your Majesty looks no more than thirty years old, how can you be called old?"

"Thirty?" The Queen covered her lips and chuckled. "I am already forty-two this year. How can you be so sweet-talking, little girl?"

She smiled and said, "I really envy Sister Yan. She has given birth to such a pair of good children. She is so blessed."

Song Yanxi smiled faintly, "I heard from my mother yesterday that your Majesty's daughter, Princess Roujia, is both talented and beautiful, and she has much of the charm you had when you were in your boudoir."

The Queen was startled and asked with a strange expression, "Where did Sister Yan hear this from?"

Just when Song Yanxi thought that she didn't want outsiders to talk about her daughter, she heard her sigh and say, "Yingxue has been spoiled by me and her father."

Just as the words fell, a soft snort was heard at the door, followed by a woman's sweet laughter. "Mother, what a fool! It's fine if you didn't call me when Sister Song came, but why did you say bad things about your daughter in front of her?"

Song Yanxi raised her eyes and saw a fiery red figure striding in from the door.

Mo Yingxue had red lips, white teeth and a baby face. Only when she frowned could one tell that she resembled her brothers.

She walked over to Song Yanxi, looked her up and down, and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful. No wonder my fifth brother has been thinking about you for so many years."

The Queen pretended to be angry and said, "Yingxue, don't be rude."

Mo Yingxue snorted softly, pulled Song Yanxi's hand and walked aside, saying coquettishly, "Mother is really something. She didn't even tell me to sit down and talk."

Before the Queen could speak, she continued, "If Fifth Brother knew this, he would be heartbroken to death."

As she spoke, she winked at Song Yanxi and said, "Don't be afraid, sister. My mother may look a little fierce, but she's still easy to talk to."

The Queen was so angry that she laughed, and shook her head and said, "I have really spoiled you. You should listen to your grandmother and find some maids to teach you the rules.

This will also save me from having my husband's family come to me every now and then to complain about my affairs after I get married."

When she heard about learning the rules, Mo Yingxue hurriedly said, "My daughter is very well-behaved now. Mother, please don't ask anyone else to chant sutras for me anymore."

She winked at Song Yanxi, signaling her to help her say a few words.

The Queen glared at her and warned her, "Don't bother with Yan Xi and make trouble, otherwise, your fifth brother will not forgive you."

When she thought of Mo Jinchuan's face, Mo Yingxue shrank her neck and said, "Sister, please don't go to my fifth brother to complain."

Seeing her so scared, Song Yanxi asked softly, "Princess, why are you so afraid of the prince?"

Mo Yingxue pouted, "Sister should ask if there are any of us siblings who are not afraid of Fifth Brother."

After she finished speaking, she quickly turned her head to look at the entrance of the hall, and was relieved to see that no one had come in.

Before she could speak, the Queen reminded her, "Yingxue, your fifth brother is playing chess with your father in the Imperial Study right now."

Mo Yingxue's face immediately fell, and she tugged at Song Yanxi's sleeve and said, "Sister, let's talk about this another day when Fifth Brother is not around."

The queen was amused by her useless appearance. "Look at you, you're like a mouse seeing a cat when you see Xiaowu, but he hasn't actually hit you."

Mo Yingxue said, "He might as well just beat me up."

She thought of something and looked at Song Yanxi and asked, "Sister, is my fifth brother also very cruel to you?"

Song Yanxi thought about it seriously and said pertinently: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin is a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. He is not fierce."

"Ah?" Mo Yingxue's eyes widened as she blurted out, "Are we meeting the same Fifth Brother?"

She turned to look at the Queen and asked, "Mother, how can Fifth Brother be so hot? I think he is just a block of ice."

She shuddered just thinking about it.

The Queen wanted to speak, but she glanced at the door and said with a light cough, "I'm afraid Xiaowu will have to answer you personally."

Mo Yingxue was startled. She turned her head and saw that it was just a young eunuch, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She held her chest and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately it wasn't Fifth Brother, I was scared to death."

The young eunuch at the door came in quickly and said anxiously, "Empress, Eunuch De asks you to go to the Imperial Study."

The Queen frowned slightly and asked, "Did you say what it was?"

The young eunuch glanced at Song Yanxi, somewhat hesitant.

After hearing the Queen tell him not to be shy, he quickly said, "I don't know how His Royal Highness Prince Jin has angered His Majesty, and he is now kneeling outside the Imperial Study as punishment."

*

Outside the imperial study.

Mo Jinchuan was wearing a black robe and kneeling straight.

The spring breeze seems gentle, but it is like a knife, making it impossible to open your eyes.

When Song Yanxi arrived with the queen, she heard Dehai say that he had been kneeling in the cold wind for an hour.

The Queen lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

She looked at the figure and said distressedly, "Prince Jin's leg injury has just healed, how could he withstand such torture?"

Dehai glanced at Song Yanxi before saying, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin doesn't want the Queen to worry about this matter."

The queen sighed, "This child is just too stubborn."

As she was speaking, she caught a glimpse of Song Yanxi striding towards Mo Jinchuan from the corner of her eye.

"This girl from the Song family..." The queen wanted to stop her, but Mo Yingxue quickly stopped her.

She smiled mischievously and said, "Mother, please don't get involved in Fifth Brother and the others' affairs."

Listening to the footsteps, Mo Jinchuan's lips curled slightly, but his voice was cold when he spoke, "You shouldn't have come."

Song Yanxi didn't respond, but walked straight to his side and knelt down respectfully.

She took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "Your Highness, take one pill to relieve the pain."

Mo Jinchuan frowned, "You don't have to accompany me to be punished."

Seeing that he refused to take it, Song Yanxi simply opened the medicine bottle, poured out a brown pill, and handed it to his mouth, saying in a tough manner: "Open your mouth."

Seeing that he still didn't move, she said coldly, "I will go and ask His Majesty to grant me a marriage with General Qiu."
