Chapter 469 It’s Not Usually Like This

Huo Yan rushed in directly. The palace servants outside were unable to stop him, so they could only follow him into the palace and apologize to the Concubine Dowager, "Your servants really can't stop His Royal Highness Prince Jing..."

Concubine Zhao knew her temper best, so she naturally wouldn't blame the palace servants. She waved her hand and asked everyone to leave, saying unhappily, "Why are you yelling so loudly? You scared me!"

After Huo Yan finished shouting, he realized that his mother was holding Rendong's hand and talking to her. Her attitude was intimate, and she didn't seem to be making things difficult for her. It seemed more like she was talking to a beloved junior in a private manner.

He had never seen his mother be so intimate with any other girl before.

When his mother was most favored, she even looked down on the empress. She felt that her son was only one step away from inheriting the throne, and that even a fairy from heaven would not be enough to be her daughter-in-law.

Queen Wang also had a niece whom she liked very much, but his mother always felt that no one was worthy of her son.

Such a person, now likes honeysuckle so much when he sees it.

Huo Yan couldn't believe it was true for a moment.

Rendong saw that Huo Yan came in a hurry. He was still wearing court robes. Maybe because he walked too fast, there was a little sweat on his forehead.

Huo Yan, however, was completely oblivious to himself at this moment. His gaze fell directly on Ren Dong, looking her up and down. After confirming that she was alright, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and snatched Ren Dong's hand from his mother's, pulling her behind him to protect her. "Ren Dong is a little shy. Why did my mother summon her into the palace for no reason like this? And she didn't even inform me in advance!"

Rendong wanted to pull her hand back, but Huo Yan held it even tighter.

joke.

He finally managed to hold Jindong's hand, and he would not let go until he had held it tightly.

"How dare you say I didn't tell you in advance!" Concubine Zhao got angry when she said this. "How many times have I told you that I want to see my daughter-in-law? I miss her every day and every night. I asked you to bring her to me, but what happened to you? Not only did you not bring my daughter-in-law to me, you were so busy that you were nowhere to be seen!"

No matter how busy Huo Yan was in the past, he would always come to visit his mother. But ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, Huo Yan had gone crazy and taken on the job at the Dali Temple, and he was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen.

The key point is that he is busy with official business during the day and chasing after his wife at night. Not only can he not take care of his mother, but he can't even catch up with his wife!

Concubine Zhao was so anxious that she wanted to go there herself to help him catch up.

So since Huo Yan was slow to bring anyone to see her, she found an excuse to summon Ren Dong to the palace.

Who says that being unable to sleep because you long for your daughter-in-law is not a disease?

If you are sick, you must see a doctor.

Her future daughter-in-law is the only female imperial physician in the dynasty, and she is the most suitable doctor for the condition.

Huo Yan felt a little embarrassed when his mother scolded him in front of Ren Dong. "I told you it's not the right time!"

Is it that he doesn't want to bring Honeysuckle to meet his mother?

Huo Yan was more anxious than anyone else to get Rendong to accept him.

But he also knew that what he had done before was too much. Now that Honeysuckle was willing to let him get close to her, it was the result of his using all means to pester her.

If he acted too hastily and let Honeysuckle become disgusted with him and not allow him to take even a single step forward, then it would be truly over.

"It's not the right time, you just say it's not the right time, then tell me, when is the right time?"

Concubine Zhao was really disgusted that her son couldn't catch up with his wife, and the tone she used when she spoke to him was completely different from when she spoke to Rendong just now.

It's like he's learned how to change faces.

Honeysuckle was stunned.

Seeing Ren Dong's reaction, Concubine Zhao realized that her attitude towards Huo Yan seemed to have been exposed. She quickly adjusted her expression, gave Ren Dong a gentle smile, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, my daughter-in-law. I am not usually fierce, but when I am disappointed with Jiu Lang, I can sometimes hold back a little."

When Huo Yan was competing with his brothers for the position of crown prince, Concubine Zhao had never been so disappointed in him.

Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother's beloved grandson was already so grown up, but her son could hardly even hold a girl's hand, which made it difficult for Concubine Zhao not to be anxious.

In the past, Huo Zheng delayed getting married until he was 24 years old, and all kinds of rumors spread in the capital. At that time, Concubine Zhao even laughed at Queen Wang for being so picky that her son refused to get married.

Now Huo Yan is 27 years old and still can't marry the girl he likes. Everyone in the capital is laughing at him.

This may be the retribution in this life.

Concubine Zhao sometimes thought so too.

Rendong didn't dare to accept Concubine Zhao's title of "daughter-in-law" and quickly explained: "Your Highness Prince Jing and I are not what you think..."

"I know, I understand." Concubine Zhao had an expression that said she understood everything Honeysuckle said. "Not today, but maybe tomorrow. If you think tomorrow is not the right time, then I will wait a little longer. It will eventually come."

"Mother!" Huo Yan couldn't help but say, "Aren't you feeling unwell? Forget about all this nonsense. Since Jindong is here, let her take your pulse."

"OK."

In fact, from the moment Concubine Zhao saw Rendong, she felt relieved and calmed down, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

But she summoned him to the palace on the pretext of being ill, and she wanted to talk more with Rendong, so she continued to use this excuse to talk to people.

Otherwise, with the way this brat Huo Yan behaved, as long as she said there was no need to take her pulse, he would take Rendong away immediately.

I don’t know when I will see my daughter-in-law again.

Thinking this, Concubine Zhao slowly walked to the beauty bed and sat down, resting her wrist on the armrest.

Honeysuckle withdrew her hand and stepped forward to feel Concubine Zhao's pulse.

Huo Yan followed and stood quietly behind her.

Honeysuckle was very careful and meticulous when taking people's pulses, and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

There was nothing seriously wrong with Concubine Zhao's health, but she had been feeling depressed for the past few years, which had damaged her foundation. Huo Yan took the right stance, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, she became the most honorable Concubine Zhao besides the Empress Dowager.

In addition, when the old emperor made many stupid decisions in the past few years, Zhao fell out of favor and had a very difficult time. It was her former enemy Queen Wang who helped her through the difficulties, and the two became friends in need in the deep palace.

After the old emperor died, Concubine Zhao lived a very comfortable life. Apart from the fact that Huo Yan had not been able to make Rendong the Princess of Jing, she had nothing else to worry about. Naturally, her health got better day by day.

Rendong prescribed a recuperation prescription for Concubine Zhao, which mainly consisted of medicinal food and did not prescribe those bitter soups and medicines.

"This girl is so considerate. I'm afraid of taking medicine the most. If you don't let me take medicine, then you are my favorite imperial physician. From now on, I will rely on you for everything."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao became even more delighted, and she used a very outrageous excuse to force Rendong to stay for lunch.

Rendong couldn't refuse, and with Huo Yan's presence, she felt more at ease, so she stayed.

Huo Yan sat down next to Ren Dong and whispered to her, "Mother isn't usually like this, really."
