Looking at the clothes in front of her, the queen's eyes felt a little sore.
She raised her hand and stroked the clothes on the tray. Looking at Feng Qingqing who lowered her brows and looked pleasant, she felt a little relieved in her heart.
"You said you made this dress?"
Feng Qingqing noticed the change in the Queen's mood and was secretly delighted.
He said obediently, "My Queen Mother, I had the clothes made by someone quickly, and I embroidered the words on it myself."
The Queen took the dress from the tray and opened it in front of everyone. Seeing the longevity characters embroidered on the dress, she smiled sincerely and praised repeatedly, "Qing'er, you are so thoughtful."
She didn't say Tainu, but the name she called.
"I started preparing it several months ago, but my embroidery is still not very good. Please don't despise me, Queen Mother."
Feng Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "I thought that Your Majesty has seen too many rare treasures, so I embroidered this dress with the word 'longevity' written all over it. I wish Your Majesty a life as long as the Southern Mountains and a blessing as vast as the East Sea."
Hearing that she had started preparing several months in advance, the Queen's heart softened.
Everyone says Qing'er is bad, and she thinks so too.
But after receiving this birthday gift today, she suddenly felt that Qing'er might still have a chance to be won over.
The child she and the Queen had was not useless, and she was also filial.
"Okay, Qing'er, you're so thoughtful. I'll lift your house arrest from today."
Feng Qingqing stood where she was, and when she expressed her gratitude, she deliberately showed the empress her hand that was pricked by the needle.
Seeing the needle hole on her fingertip, the queen sighed in her heart and called out to Feng Qingqing who was about to turn around and go down.
"What reward do you want?"
Feng Qingqing cupped her hands and said, "Celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday is what I should do. I dare not ask for a reward."
The queen chuckled and looked at the ministers below.
"Do you think I should reward the princess?"
Seeing that no one else stood up, Minister Jiang stood up and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the princess deserves a reward for her filial piety."
She had gone to Feng Qingqing before because she wanted to use the Queen's birthday banquet as an excuse to ask Feng Qingqing to take the two of them back to her house.
Now that there was such a good opportunity, she just prayed that Feng Qingqing would not waste this reward.
When others saw Minister Jiang stand up, they were not surprised by her behavior.
If we were to ask who in the court was most eager to please the princess, it would be Minister Jiang.
"Tell me, Qing'er, what reward do you want? I will grant it to you in front of all the ministers."
Feng Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "I'm worried that the people Lord Ling brought into the palace might pose a threat to your safety, Queen Mother, if they remain here. So, could you please let me take those two back with me?"
"Really not going to stop it?"
Qian Jue lowered his voice and asked Yu Yiluo.
"Looking at the Queen, she's likely to agree. What will you do with the things you're looking for then?"
"It's not nine out of ten, but I will definitely agree."
Yu Yiluo had a blank expression on her face. "The Queen is deeply moved by Feng Qingqing, so she will definitely agree."
[When a jerk suddenly becomes obedient, the Queen probably feels that she has seen hope.]
The Empress was furious with what Mother said a few days ago. Now that Feng Qingqing has spoken like this, the Empress will definitely have us move into the Crown Princess's Residence so we can spend more time with Feng Qingqing and resolve any misunderstandings with her.
Seeing Yu Yiluo's nonchalant look, Qian Jue knew that she knew what was going on, so he didn't say anything else.
He sat up straight and fixed his gaze on the queen who had been silent for a long time.
The queen at the top was silent for a while, and then kindly let Feng Qingqing go down first.
Her action made Feng Qingqing and Minister Jiang feel a little uneasy.
Feng Qingqing didn't dare to say more and stepped back to sit in her seat.
The Queen waited for her to sit down, then cleared her throat and said, "Taking advantage of my birthday banquet today, I would like to announce an important matter to all the ministers."
When the ministers heard the big news, they began to whisper to each other, discussing what the big news was.
Feng Qingqing, who was still wondering whether what she proposed could succeed, came to her senses and became curious about what this so-called big thing was.
Amidst everyone's suspicions, the Queen's gaze fell on Concubine Xian and Yu Yiluo.
She pointed at the two of them with a smile.
"I guess everyone is curious about who they are."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Qingqing stood up faster than her brain could move.
Because he stood up too suddenly, his body hit the table, knocking over the cups and making a noise.
Because of the noise, everyone looked towards Feng Qingqing with puzzled expressions.
Feng Qingqing didn't care about anything else and was convinced that the Queen was going to announce the identities of Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian.
Yu Yiluo curled the corners of her lips imperceptibly.
[Feng Qingqing thought the Queen was going to reveal our identities, so she panicked?]
[Puchi, scaring yourself is really fun.]
"Madam Tai, what's wrong?"
The Queen looked at Feng Qingqing, whose face looked unhappy, with confusion and asked with concern.
Feng Qingqing's brain raced, but she couldn't think of the right words to brush this matter aside.
She stood there, anxious but unable to utter a word.
After holding it in for a long while, he could only mumble, "I accidentally spilled tea on myself. Please forgive me, mother."
The Queen didn't think much about it, waved her hand and asked her to sit down, and continued:
"They are the descendants of Prince Rui. Everyone knows that Prince Rui's rebellion was a false accusation. I'm taking advantage of this auspicious day to tell everyone so that everyone can celebrate with me."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like water jumping into oil, and everyone was in an uproar.
Prince Rui was framed and the case was closed when the former emperor was still alive, but the people involved at the time did not admit that they framed Prince Rui and committed suicide. Therefore, over the years, some people still believe that Prince Rui did commit treason.
Because of the deep sisterly love between her and the late emperor, the late emperor, in order to protect her, let her fake her death and escape from the Li Kingdom, and even sent people to poison and kill all the people involved for her.
But I dare not say this in front of the Queen.
Although Minister Jiang had some guesses in his mind, he was still stunned when he heard it, but he quickly recovered.
The prime minister, who had nothing to do with the whole process, changed his expression because of the news.
She glanced in the direction of Concubine Xian and Yu Yiluo, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart.
The one who reacted the most was Feng Qingqing. She didn't hear what the empress said at all. She only caught the words that the two were descendants of Prince Rui, and then she stood up suddenly.
"Madam Tai, what's wrong?"
The Queen frowned slightly and looked at Feng Qingqing.
"Your Majesty, I was so happy that I lost my composure."
Feng Qingqing had a genuine smile on her face. She felt relieved and at the same time curious about why the two of them became descendants of Prince Rui.
"It was all a misunderstanding before. I didn't know their identities and misunderstood."
"I wasn't sure before and didn't tell you. I don't blame you."
The Queen smiled and said, "I agree to your request. Luo'er is your cousin. They will live in your house. Please take good care of them."
"Thank you, Queen Mother," Feng Qingqing hurriedly expressed her gratitude, fearing that the Queen would go back on her word.
