Just at this moment, that gentle and steady voice sounded again.
"Why isn't our little princess here? I'm sorry I came at the wrong time. I was hoping to see her."
"Sister, you've come at the perfect time. Wanwan has just woken up. Hurry and bring Princess Gulun Chunxi over to show the Empress."
Hua Fei's laughter was no longer gentle and docile as it was in front of Feng Yinzhen. Instead, it was ostentatious and arrogant.
She deliberately emphasized the words "Princess Gulun Chunxi", obviously challenging the Queen on purpose.
Feng Wanwan on the other side sighed when she heard this.
[I've always said that my beautiful mother is a straightforward person and can't play tricks on others. But after just three sentences, she couldn't keep up the pretense. But now, with me here, there's absolutely no way my mother will fall into a trap again!]
Liu, the wet nurse who was holding Feng Wanwan, was quite surprised and muttered something to herself.
"It's really strange. The princess didn't say anything here. How did Your Majesty know that the princess had woken up?"
The words were spoken softly, and only Feng Wanwan heard them.
She was also stunned for a moment, then snorted.
[Of course, that's because my mother and I have a close bond!]
Hua Fei didn't hear Feng Wanwan
When Feng Wanwan was sent to the Queen's arms, she finally saw the Queen's face clearly.
Just one glance and Feng Wanwan's brows furrowed.
Our ancestors were right when they said that appearance is determined by the heart!
Although the queen's clothes were plain and she had few jewelries on her head, her hands were even plainer, with only a string of Buddhist beads.
But Feng Wanwan saw endless and deep desire in that pure and indifferent face.
In those seemingly smiling eyes, there was a deep and unremovable hatred.
[Oh my, this is unbearable, this look is almost like a knife, it's going to cut my life alive! ]
[It seems she really hated me. She hated that my mother gave birth smoothly, and she also hated that I was given the title of Princess Gulun.]
"Wanwan really looks like my younger sister, she's as cute as ice and snow. I like her when I see her."
The queen looked at the baby in her arms with seemingly loving eyes, then took a gold necklace inlaid with gems from the tray of the maid beside her and put it around Feng Wanwan's neck.
The gold necklace was heavy and solid, and the rubies and sapphires on it were obviously worth a lot of money.
This gift immediately made Feng Wanwan happy.
[Gold, jeweled! It'll definitely fetch a lot of money! This woman may look fierce, but she's still quite capable.]
However, the next moment, the Queen's words made Feng Wanwan's expression change again.
"My palace has never been comparable to yours, and now the former dynasty is in a critical period of war, and the harem is now facing huge expenses. I want to share the burden with the emperor, so there are not many things I can offer in Kunning Palace. This gold necklace is a bit shabby, so I hope you don't mind it."
"The Empress is devoted to His Majesty, even using the Kunning Palace's private treasury to supplement the harem's expenses. This gold necklace was originally part of the Empress's dowry, and she has cherished it for so many years. Today, she specially brought it out to give to the little princess, which shows how much the Empress loves her."
Song Chun, who was following the queen, immediately took over the conversation and said something softly, glancing at Hua Fei seemingly unintentionally.
[Bah! What do you mean by that? If you're going to give a gift, just give it properly. Why are you being so sarcastic? Are you trying to make yourself look noble by stepping on my mother's extravagance?]
【Just say you are not a good person! 】
[I don't want this gold collar anymore, take it and get out!]
Feng Wanwan was angry. She grabbed the gold collar with her tender little hands and started pulling it out.
But she was just a baby and couldn't lift her neck, so the gold collar couldn't be pulled out at all.
His face turned red with anger.
Concubine Hua was originally angry with the Queen, but when she saw Feng Wanwan like this, most of the anger in her heart dissipated in an instant.
She picked up Feng Wanwan from the Queen's arms and took away the gold necklace for her naturally, but did not return it to the Queen. Instead, she gave it to Suzhi.
"Yes, a gold necklace like this isn't a rare find in the Yikun Palace, but since it's a gift from the Empress, there's no reason for me not to accept it. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will think I'm being arrogant and disregarding the Empress's pride. Don't you agree, sister?"
"...Yeah, yes, my sister has always been sensible."
The queen looked extremely unhappy.
Feng Wanwan's emotions finally calmed down at this moment. She couldn't help but smile and secretly gave her mother a thumbs up.
[It was my mother who not only fought back against the Queen, but also took this golden collar!]
[However, my mother's intelligence is beyond my expectations. In this situation, my mother would definitely lose her temper and start a fight. Why is it that now, my mother doesn't seem angry at all and seems so confident?]
Concubine Hua held Feng Wanwan in her arms and rocked her slowly for a few seconds, her eyes full of tenderness and smile: Wanwan, it is because of your reminder that mother was able to calm down and regain her senses.
You are your mother's lucky star.
Hua Fei frowned again and blamed Suzhi beside her.
"Suzhi, you've been working for me for many years, how could you be so tactless? The Queen is here, why don't you serve tea?"
"Yes, I neglected it. I will go right away!"
Suzhi looked panicked.
Then the tea cups were served quickly.
Songchun reached out to take it, and when he smelled the fragrance of the tea, his face changed.
"Why is it pine needle tea? Lady Hua, are you looking down on our Empress and deliberately neglecting her?"
"How could that be true? Queen Sister is the master of the harem, who among us would dare to neglect her?"
