The queen entered the room and immediately noticed the girl in red.
Although the girl has changed a lot, the shadow of her childhood can still be seen on her face.
At a glance, she recognized the girl's identity.
When the two people in the room saw the queen come in, they both stood up.
"Luo'er," the Queen walked quickly to Yu Yiluo, took her hand and looked at her, "After so many years, Luo'er has grown into a graceful young lady."
"The Queen's aunt has good eyesight and recognized me at a glance."
Yu Yiluo smiled and let the queen hold her hand.
The Queen has been very kind to her and her mother over the years. Although she has never visited them, she has always sent them gifts and letters of greeting.
On par with Qian Jue.
The queen pulled her to sit down and glanced at Qian Jue.
"The servant beside you said that you brought a girl back. I thought it was Luo'er."
"You are such a fool! You didn't tell me that Luo'er came to Li Country."
"Queen Mother, don't you want to wait until Luo'er arrives before telling you?"
Qian Jue smiled and said, "I was just planning to have someone invite you over to have dinner with us."
As he said this, he looked at Yu Yiluo, intending to ask her to testify for him and he really intended to do so.
Yu Yiluo nodded, "Aunt, that's indeed what my cousin planned."
After they talked for a while, the palace servants had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
After the meal, the Queen ordered Ling Le to prepare a palace for Yu Yiluo to stay in.
…
The news that a girl was living in the palace, brought in by the crown prince himself and having her accommodation arranged by the empress's lady-in-waiting personally spread throughout the palace.
Everyone was guessing about the girl's identity.
During the morning court session, a minister mentioned this matter.
It is believed that if the prince wants to take a concubine, he can do so according to the etiquette.
The empress at the head just glanced at the ministers and snorted.
"Who told you that the prince wanted to take this girl as his concubine?"
How could she not know what her son felt towards Luo'er?
Not to mention that her son's feelings for Luo'er are only brotherly, even if there is something else, she feels that her son is not worthy of it.
Luo'er is so young, but her son is already in his thirties.
He's even taking a concubine. How ridiculous.
The minister who spoke was stunned and thought to himself.
If it's not a concubine, could it be the main wife?
It seems that the emperor really likes this girl. He got so angry just by talking about taking a concubine.
I don’t know what kind of girl she is that the emperor likes her so much.
"Master Qin, the girl you are talking about should be my cousin, the little princess of Tianqi."
Qian Jue's voice brought Lord Qin back to his senses. He was startled and quickly knelt down.
"I didn't know she was the little princess of Tianqi. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Although he had not been in the court as long as those old ministers, he had also heard of this little princess of Tianqi.
The prime minister, who they saw as unyielding, was full of admiration for the little princess.
It was only after he entered the court that he learned that there had been civil unrest in the Li Kingdom, with the fake princess and Minister Jiang plotting a rebellion. Afterwards, corruption in the Li Kingdom became rampant, and all these things were inseparable from the help of this little princess.
"Okay, ignorance is not a crime, get up."
When the prime minister heard that the person coming was Yu Yiluo, he took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, since the little princess of Tianqi has come, why not hold a banquet to welcome her?"
The Queen actually had the same idea and mentioned it to Yu Yiluo, but was rejected.
"No need, Luo'er doesn't like it. I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you."
…
After the morning court session, Qian Jue was called by the Queen to the Imperial Study for a lecture.
"Look, Luo'er has grown up now. Please be more restrained in your words and actions. Don't treat her the same way as when she was little."
Qian Jue coughed lightly.
"knew."
How could he have known that these palace servants and ministers had such rich imaginations.
Even when Luo'er grows up, she is just a younger sister in his eyes. He takes care of her just out of habit, but he never knew it would lead to misunderstanding.
Emperor Tianqi wishes that all the flies around Luo'er are female. If he really has other thoughts, it would be strange if the emperor lets him go to Tianqi often.
After leaving the imperial study, Qian Jue went to the palace where Yu Yiluo was temporarily staying to find her.
Yu Yiluo had also heard what was said in the palace. Seeing Qian Jue coming, she put down the fish food in her hand and walked to the table in the pavilion and sat down.
"Were you reprimanded by the Empress Dowager?"
Qian Jue sat down opposite her, poured himself a cup of tea and nodded.
"It's a shame these people don't use their brains to write storybooks."
Yu Yiluo laughed out loud and nodded in agreement.
Then he said, "I guess it's because you don't have a Crown Princess."
When this matter was mentioned, Qian Jue's smile faded a little. He put down his tea and looked at the lotus pond not far away, where ripples were rippling in the wind.
"Luo'er, sometimes I wonder if I will be the second male lead in the story who is loved but cannot be loved."
He had indeed let go of his junior sister and had also thought about finding someone he could get along with.
However, after seeing the young ladies from the noble families that his mother had introduced to her, he always felt that they were not up to par.
There was no ripple in my heart, and I didn't even have the desire to talk.
Yu Yiluo was stunned by Qian Jue's words and felt secretly dissatisfied in her heart.
[Aren't you the second male lead who can't get the love he wants?]
She propped up her chin and looked at Qian Jue, teasing, "It seems you are quite free and have time to read storybooks."
Qian Jue withdrew his gaze and laughed out loud.
"I'm tired of dealing with government affairs, so I read some storybooks to kill time. It's just a casual sigh."
He stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me take you out for a walk."
Yu Yiluo stood up and followed Qian Jue.
"I heard that the Nanfeng Pavilion in your country of Li is very interesting. How about we go there?"
She came here as a child before, but now that she has grown up, she must go and have a look.
"No," Qian Jue refused without hesitation, "You can't go there. If your parents and your brother know about it, they'll skin me alive."
Nanfeng Pavilion is a place for women to have fun, and it is a mixed crowd. How could I possibly take Luo'er there?
Not to mention that Tianqi's group of protective people will skin him alive, the Queen Mother will definitely not let him go.
Seeing that Yu Yiluo wanted to say something, Qian Jue gave a serious warning.
"Don't even think about sneaking in. If you have that idea, I'll directly order Nanfeng Pavilion to close."
Yu Yiluo curled her lips when her plan was exposed.
"Just not going."
In the end, Yu Yiluo was unable to visit the duck shop she thought it was.
In the following days, as her identity spread, no one talked about it anymore.
Qian Jue and her visited all the interesting places in Li Country, except Nanfeng Pavilion.
Yu Yiluo stayed in Li Kingdom for a month. On the day of her departure, Qian Jue and the Queen saw her off at the palace gate.
After watching her get on the carriage and it disappear at the palace gate, the two of them turned around and returned to the palace.
When he reached the door of the bedroom, a servant came up to him and handed him an envelope.
"Your Highness, this is given to you by the little princess."
Qian Jue took the envelope, walked in, sat down at the long desk, and opened the envelope.
The words written in a flamboyant style on it caught my eye:
Read less brainless stories. You are not the second male lead in the story who cannot get the love he wants. The fate of the characters in the story is in the hands of the author, but your fate is in your own hands!
