Chapter 648 Tell me, what reward do you want?

The Queen smiled faintly, turned around and met Princess Huayang's cold eyes, and said gently, "Princess, you misunderstood. It was Yingxue who insisted on coming to see Your Majesty.

I was afraid that my servants wouldn't be able to stop her, so I didn't dare stay for long."

Her voice was gentle and her attitude was polite, but Princess Huayang only felt hypocrisy.

The women in the deep palace are truly more scheming than each other, racking their brains all day long to compete for favor.

No wonder, my brother is not even 50 years old yet his body is like that of an octogenarian.

The Queen was not annoyed by her warm response, but smiled as she said, "It just so happens that the Princess is here. With you accompanying His Majesty, I can focus on other things."

Princess Huayang raised her eyelids and said calmly, "Since the Queen has made this special trip, she should at least meet with the Emperor before returning."

She looked at Dehai and asked with a forced smile, "Dehai, am I right?"

Hearing this, De Hai felt a chill on his back. He forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has just taken his medicine and rested."

Princess Huayang nodded and said, "So he is asleep."

Dehai quickly responded.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Princess Huayang shout loudly, "Brother Emperor, are you asleep?"

Song Yanxi, who was resting in the side room, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at An San, who was dressed as a palace maid, and asked softly, "Is Princess Huayang here?"

An San nodded, stepped forward to help her up and said, "Don't worry, young lady, the master has already gone out to deal with it."

Song Yanxi didn't want to worry about this.

But judging from the current situation, her master obviously didn't handle it well.

His Majesty is still ill, and Princess Huayang is making such a fuss outside the palace, which is a bit too disrespectful to him.

Even if they are brother and sister, they should know that there are different principles for the relationship between ruler and subject.

Or is she so arrogant now because she knows something?

No, she has to go out and take a look.

Seeing Song Yanxi was about to get out of bed, An San hurriedly handed her shoes and said with concern: "The ground is cold, please take care of yourself, young lady."

Song Yanxi responded and warned, "Don't show up later, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to do things later."

If Mo Jinchuan hadn't brought the person into the palace without even saying hello, she would never agree no matter what.

The palace is heavily guarded, even a fly would have difficulty getting in, so there aren't that many sudden dangers.

Besides, even if she encountered something, she was not completely unable to protect herself, so there was no need to go to so much trouble.

If people found out that he had secretly arranged for someone to enter the palace, it would only cause him more trouble.

An San nodded and reminded her, "Young lady, Her Royal Highness the Princess has always had a bad temper. If she says anything unpleasant, please don't take it to heart."

She paused, then continued, “But with the master here, you don’t have to worry too much, young lady.

Even for the sake of the master, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not embarrass the young lady."

Song Yanxi smiled and said hello, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the little girl was still too naive.

Is it possible that Princess Huayang dislikes her because she is dissatisfied with her upcoming marriage to Mo Jinchuan as Princess Jin?

If her opinion was followed, the Bai family's legitimate daughter should be the Princess of Jin and stand shoulder to shoulder with Mo Jinchuan.

The more he showed that he cared about her, the more dissatisfied Princess Huayang became with her.

If she spoke up to defend her in front of her again, the princess would probably dislike her even more.

It would not be beneficial for them now to annoy her.

An San didn't know the twists and turns involved.

She only knew that Princess Huayang did not like their future mistress.

And their master...

Just using the word "like" is not enough to describe his feelings for the girl.

If possible, the master would like to carry her with him all the time and let her melt into his bones and blood.

An San couldn't help but smile when he thought about the two people's upcoming wedding.

Song Yanxi just happened to look up and noticed the smile on her lips, and couldn't help but frown.

"Girl..." An San quickly lowered the corner of his mouth, and there was more panic in his cold eyes.

As a secret guard, not letting your emotions show is a rule you must keep in mind during training.

Those who disobey the order will die.

An San clenched his palms tightly, secretly cursing himself for having lived such an idle life in the past two years that he almost forgot the skills to save his life.

The prince and the girl are tolerant, that's because they are good people.

This doesn't mean that she can just push herself up.

Thinking of this, An San took two steps back and was about to kneel down.

Song Yanxi anticipated her action and stepped forward to support her, saying, "You and I are not master and servant, there is no need to kneel to me."

An San was stunned and became terrified the moment he realized what was happening.

What the girl means is... that she doesn't want her?

Before she could think straight, Song Yanxi said, "The prince has never treated you as slaves, and neither have I."

After saying this, she turned around and walked out without caring whether An San understood or not.

An San stared at Song Yanxi's back in a daze, feeling a slight soreness in his nose.

She took a deep breath and secretly made up her mind that no matter what situation she encountered in the future, she would never let anyone hurt a hair on her head.

She swore.

When Song Yanxi arrived, Princess Huayang was already sitting beside Emperor Xuande's bed.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.

Seeing her coming over, she wiped her eyes and said, "I heard from my royal brother that it was thanks to you that I was treated last night. It was really hard work for you."

Song Yanxi said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Treating His Majesty is my duty. I don't deserve a complaint."

Princess Huayang shook her head and said meaningfully, "That's not what I meant. Let's keep things separate.

You saved His Majesty and did a favor to the royal family.

Tell me, what reward do you want?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in the hall changed.

Emperor Xuande coughed lightly and said, "Dai Qiu, we are all family, there is no need to be so formal."

Princess Huayang's lips curved slightly as she asked with a smile, "Look at what my royal brother said. Could it be that you are reluctant to part with the treasures in your hands?"

As she spoke, she looked at Song Yanxi and said with a smile, "Just tell me what Yong'an wants. Even if Your Majesty is stingy, I will definitely agree to your request."

These words are like what an elder in the family says to a younger generation, with doting evident in his words and deeds.

But Song Yanxi was not so crazy as to really think that the person who wanted to ruin her reputation some time ago had turned into a kind and amiable elder in the blink of an eye.

She believed that she was not the only one who thought so.

Seeing this, the Queen smiled and said, "Look at you, child. Are you so happy that you've become stupid? Why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"

Noticing the gaze of Princess Huayang, she continued smiling and said, "People often say that a niece-in-law is worth half a daughter. When you marry into the family, you must visit the Princess's residence often.

Otherwise, your aunt will be unhappy."

Song Yanxi smiled and replied "yes" without saying anything else.

She is not stupid. She can tell at a glance whether she really likes someone or really hates him.

Princess Huayang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked jokingly, "Why is Yong'an so lazy today that he doesn't even bother to say a word? Isn't he usually very good at talking?"

Song Yanxi smiled lightly and said, "In front of Your Majesty, I dare not act rashly."

Princess Huayang: "You will marry Jinchuan soon. Sooner or later, we will be family. What is there to be afraid of?"

Even if Emperor Xuande was slow-witted, he would have sensed something was amiss when he heard this.

He couldn't help but frown, "Dai Qiu, as an elder, please say less."

Princess Huayang sneered and asked sullenly, "Brother is ill, and as your only sister, I am the last one to know.

"Brother, please tell me, what kind of elder am I?"
