Chapter 254
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Jiarong thought she was ashamed, so she said again: "His Majesty and the late Empress had a deep affection for each other. Even though the late Empress is gone, no one else can interfere. If you have any conscience, you shouldn't have used such methods!"
Shen Qingnian nodded in agreement: "Madam Wang is right."
No one else could interfere in Song Xuan's relationship with her, and Jia Rong was right about that.
Wang Jiarong didn't expect the other party to agree with her so easily. She was a little taken aback and just said blankly, "You... it's good that you know."
At this moment, a small figure walked over, heading straight for Shen Qingnian and Wang Jiarong.
"Mother, Sister Liu," Xiao Yanqing walked up to Shen Qingnian and bowed to her.
Shen Qingnian helped Xiao Yanqing up, a smile appearing in her eyes, and asked, "Yanqing, what brings you here? Weren't you at Yongshou Palace?"
Earlier, a palace servant had sent word that Xiao Yanqing had gone to Yongshou Palace.
Song Xuan did not allow Xiao Yanqing to attend the palace banquet tonight, but instead sent him to accompany Xiao Shenxi.
"I just had some delicious pastries in my grandmother's palace, and I thought I'd bring some for Sister Liu," Xiao Yanqing said, his eyes shining. He thought the pastries were very tasty and that his mother would definitely like them.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian's expression softened: "Your Highness is truly kind."
Yan Qing is always so considerate.
"If Sister Liu is happy, then I will be happy too," Xiao Yanqing's little voice was unusually sweet with a hint of coquetry. If Wang Jiarong hadn't been there, he would have already run into his mother's arms.
It's a pity he can't do that...
When Wang Jiarong saw that Xiao Yanqing was so close to this Miss Liu, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart, as if she felt sorry for the late Empress.
It's infuriating that the child you risked your life to give birth to was ultimately taken away by a substitute.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, it's late and the dew is heavy, you should go back quickly, or you'll catch a cold." After saying that, she glared at Shen Qingnian.
She had just thought that Miss Liu was a reasonable person, but who knew that she had even won over the young prince. She was truly cunning.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam Wang. I will not catch a cold. Father-in-law, please share some of the pastries with Madam Wang as well," Xiao Yanqing said. He was reluctant to leave, but he was still very polite.
As the young crown prince, Song Yanqing has now learned to be meticulous in all aspects.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiarong felt her eyes well up with tears. She bowed to Xiao Yanqing and said, "Your Highness is virtuous and capable, truly deserving of great responsibility. The spirit of the late Empress will find solace in heaven."
If the late Empress were still alive, she would surely be delighted to see such an outstanding young crown prince. I only hope that the young crown prince will not be bewitched by this Miss Liu.
In the end, Wang Jiarong left reluctantly with the pastries given to her by Xiao Yanqing, and Shen Qingnian also returned to the palace banquet with the pastries in hand.
Before leaving, she hugged little Yan Qing and kissed his soft little face twice.
The little boy was overjoyed to receive his mother's affection and happily left.
The following palace banquet was nothing special. Shortly after Shen Qingnian returned, the banquet ended, and everyone gradually left.
In the end, Song Xuan personally escorted her back to the Golden Palace.
----------
The next day.
As soon as Shen Qingnian got out of bed, Xiao Ju, who was combing her hair, had a bitter face.
Xiaoju did not attend the palace banquet last night, but what happened at the banquet had already spread throughout the entire palace.
Seeing the indifferent expression on Shen Qingnian's face, Xiaoju asked anxiously, "Miss, the goddess entered the harem last night, don't you care at all?"
[Wang Jiarong: The late Empress suffered so much, all her efforts were for nothing...]
