Chapter 213: Embarrassing the Queen

For the little prince's full moon banquet, all the royal relatives and ladies from both the inner and outer courts will come to the palace to attend.

Emperor Yuan Yong personally entertained his ministers outside.

Seeing that he was so happy, Xu Lanshan didn't want to spoil his mood and say no.

But Xu Lanshan didn't plan to carry the child to show the guests. The child was too young, at the most vulnerable time. With so many adults entering the palace, who knew how many different kinds of germs they would carry with them. If anything happened to the child, there wouldn't be any effective medicine to diagnose or treat the disease in this era!

Even if she has a palace fighting system, she doesn't have a special medicine to protect the child.

The little guy looked so adorable. Xu Lanshan, a new mother, loved the child so much that even the thought of such a possibility was hard to accept. She couldn't take the risk either.

So, when Emperor Yuanyong came over that day, the two of them were chatting and laughing, teasing the child together. Xu Lanshan saw that the opportunity was perfect, so she smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that the little prince is still so young. If we take him out, there will be so many people around. What if he gets frightened or something? Wouldn't it be heartbreaking for Your Majesty and I? Please allow me not to take him out tomorrow? I can wait until he's older before showing him to outsiders!"

Emperor Yuan Yong subconsciously glanced at the little fellow in his arms, his heart softened, and he nodded, saying, "Lan'er has considered everything very carefully. I also think that this is the case. So be it!"

"Yes, I thank the Emperor for his grace. As for the Empress..."

It was the Queen who suggested taking the child out to show the guests. What the Queen meant was that after so many years, the palace finally had a little prince, and this was a major event that should be celebrated by everyone. So, the little prince should be taken out for everyone to see him, receive everyone's blessings, and add to the festive mood.

Emperor Yuan Yong didn't think much about it. He thought what the queen said made sense, so he agreed immediately.

By the time Xu Lanshan found out, the situation had already become like this. She was helpless. For the sake of her son, she could only offend the Empress once again...

Xu Lanshan was not sure whether the Queen Mother did not know that a child this young should not meet too many strangers, or whether she knew it but did it on purpose.

But it didn't matter anymore, she had to stop it no matter what.

Emperor Yuan Yong raised an eyebrow. "Lan'er is Chuchu's biological mother, and I think what Lan'er said makes more sense. A child this old should be raised carefully. What if too many people scare him? I will talk to the Empress."

Xu Lanshan was relieved and smiled sweetly: "Yes, I knew that the emperor loved Chuchu the most! I think the queen will understand."

"Um......"

Emperor Yuan Yong did not leave Lianyi Palace until the next day. He went to Fengwu Palace for lunch and told the empress about this matter.

The Queen was the Queen after all, and he had to give her the full respect she deserved. He had previously agreed to the Queen's request, but now refused, which was tantamount to slapping the Queen in the face. So he had to come here in person to make amends for the Queen.

When the queen heard what he meant, her heart instantly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, freezing to the bone.

She almost sneered in his face.

No wonder I came here to have lunch with her today, so that's why...

If it weren't for this matter, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come!

The emperor's heart is so biased...it really can't be any more biased.

"Your Majesty, is this what Noble Concubine Chen meant?"

Emperor Yuan Yong was displeased: "That was my idea. Besides, it doesn't matter whose idea it was. The little prince is indeed too young. It's really not appropriate for such a young child to appear in such a noisy and crowded place. Adults may not mind a little noise, but the child may not be able to bear it. Let's talk about it later!"

The queen wanted to get angry and fight back, or even make some accusations.

However, she still didn't have the courage to do so!

"Since the emperor has said so, I will naturally obey him!"

"Then let's put it this way. Thank you for your hard work, Queen."

"Sharing the emperor's worries is my duty, so why should I worry about it? I just hope that the emperor won't let my hard work go to waste in the future."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Emperor Yuan Yong stared at him coldly.

The Queen's heart subconsciously skipped a beat, and she froze for a moment. The anger that had just risen in her heart instantly disappeared. She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have spoken out of turn. Please forgive me."

After a moment, Emperor Yuan Yong said calmly, "What's wrong with the Empress? There's no need to be like this. Please don't forget what I've instructed you to do."

"yes......"

As soon as Emperor Yuan Yong left, the Queen became so angry that her breath trembled.

She sneered repeatedly, "Xu Lanshan! Xu Lanshan! Oh, I really underestimated her! Very good, very good! She actually instigated the Emperor to slap me in the face like this! How dare she!"

Nanny Yan also sneered: "After all, the Imperial Concubine is the Imperial Concubine. I think she has now decided that no one can surpass her, so she is naturally bolder than before!"

"Oh!"

The queen was extremely angry. She simply couldn't believe that the emperor would suddenly tell her this for no apparent reason. It went without saying that Xu Lanshan must have instigated something behind the scenes.

It doesn't matter that she instigated it, the important thing is... once she instigated it, the emperor actually believed her! This is outrageous!

Nanny Yan was a little unwilling: "My Lady, this matter... is it just going to end like this..."

Children are too young and immature to see too many strangers, stay in noisy environments, or be frightened. Movements that are insignificant and that adults won’t even notice can sometimes even cause fatal harm to children.

The child's soul is not complete yet... This is the worst thing he can bear.

Nanny Yan knew these principles, and the Queen also knew them from the teachings of the experienced nanny in the family, but they did not think that Xu Lanshan would know them.

In other words, the little prince's full moon banquet... they all knew tacitly that they had no good intentions at all!

Why is it so difficult to raise children in the palace even after they are born?

Because many invisible injuries are silent and go unnoticed.

And this kind of harm is often unbearable for children!

The Queen and Nanny Yan never thought that Xu Lanshan would refuse such an occasion and bring the little prince out to show him off.

After all, for Xu Lanshan, this is such a glorious thing!

Everyone would flatter her, fawn over her, and fawn over her! Few concubines could resist such glory and honor.

But unexpectedly, she actually instigated the emperor!

"Mammy, do you think that bitch has thought of something?"
