Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head and didn't want to think about it anymore.
But as soon as she looked up, she met the queen's concerned eyes.
Ye Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
[When that bastard left a few days ago, he said he would protect me at the palace banquet.]
[Could it be that the Queen was really sent by him to protect me? ]
[So, does that mean the Queen will know that I'm pregnant with his child?]
The more Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. However, she was so preoccupied with her own thoughts that she didn't notice anything strange about Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye has been listening carefully since Ye Xiaoxiao's inner voice sounded.
However, as she listened, she suddenly felt her heart beating violently.
Not only that, her eyelids twitched faster and faster, and then her heart started beating in her throat.
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished thinking, Madam Ye looked at the queen nervously.
It took her a long time to make sure that she had not heard wrongly.
But, what did she hear?
Madam Ye didn't dare to think too much. At this moment, she just hoped that the palace banquet would end quickly.
However, the palace banquet continued, and the queen's eyes were still looking at Ye Xiaoxiao.
This time, even the virtuous concubine sitting next to the queen noticed the queen's abnormality.
"The Queen seems to be particularly concerned about Miss Ye today."
"My sister heard that the Queen is planning to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that the Queen has set her sights on this young lady from the Ye family?"
As soon as Concubine Xian said this, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone knows that Ye Xiaoxiao was pregnant before marriage and was already pregnant with someone else's bastard.
At this moment, the virtuous concubine's words were inevitably insulting to the prince.
You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and everyone was waiting for the Queen to make a move.
Unexpectedly, when the queen heard this, she was not angry, but looked at the virtuous concubine with a faint smile.
"Sister Xianfei is well-informed. His Majesty is indeed interested in selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince."
"However, you all know the prince's temper. I'm afraid I can't be his master."
"As for this Miss Ye, I am simply curious."
"Alright, since the virtuous concubine has already said it, I might as well tell everyone."
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. His Majesty intends to select concubines for the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. The daughters of each family have a chance."
"At the flower viewing banquet and poetry appreciation meeting later, everyone should bring out all their best skills."
"Especially His Royal Highness Prince Yu. His Majesty has high hopes for him. He just gave Prince Yu a concubine a few days ago."
"Perhaps today, not only will Prince Yu be chosen as a concubine, but a few concubines will also be chosen as well."
After the Queen said this, no one was in the mood to care about Ye Xiaoxiao anymore.
Seeing that everyone's attention had shifted and that the reunion cakes had been almost eaten, the queen spoke to everyone.
"The flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming exceptionally brightly this year. Since everyone has almost finished eating, why don't you go enjoy the flowers?"
After the queen finished speaking, she stood up first. Seeing this, everyone immediately saluted.
Upon seeing this, the virtuous concubine and other concubines in the palace also stood up.
The queen, accompanied by Iris, left with the concubines one after another.
Ye Xinxin glared at Ye Xiaoxiao and quietly chased in the direction where Concubine Xian left.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at her back with disdain and snorted in her heart.
[Today, Concubine Xian lost face in front of the Queen because of Ye Xinxin. If she doesn't coax Concubine Xian into good health, I'm afraid she won't have a good life in Prince Yu's mansion in the future.]
[However, judging by Concubine Xian's behavior just now, I'm afraid she won't be so easy to appease.]
[Adding to what happened with Han Wenjing earlier, Ye Xinxin might be asking for trouble if she goes there today.]
"But it's fine this way. Let them fight amongst themselves. It saves her from being an eyesore in front of me."
[But today, my beautiful mother was a little strange. When we came here, she kept telling us not to move around.]
[Why did she ignore Ye Xinxin after she left? ]
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Madam Ye beside her with some confusion.
Mrs. Ye's face was pale, and there were still some beads of sweat on her forehead.
Ye Xiaoxiao became even more confused and helped her up with some concern.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Madam Ye shook her head and with the help of Ye Xiaoxiao, she managed to stand up.
God knows, her legs were so weak just now that she finally recovered. How could she have the time to care about Ye Xinxin's affairs?
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao cared about her, Mrs. Ye forced herself to smile.
"Xiaoxiao, mother is fine, you don't have to worry."
"The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. Let Xiaoxue and Jingjing take you for a stroll later."
"Mother has something to tell your father, so she won't be with you."
Seeing that Mrs. Ye didn't look very good, Ye Xiaoxiao thought she was worried about Ye Xinxin, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"In that case, Xiaoxiao will accompany you to find daddy first, and then go find Xiaoxue and Jingjing."
Mrs. Ye's legs were still a little weak at the moment, so she didn't refuse.
Ye Xiaoxiao supported Madam Ye and walked out of the palace. Soon, under Madam Ye's guidance, they arrived at the imperial garden.
But when they came out, they didn't see any other men in the pavilion.
"Mother, I think Daddy's case isn't over yet. Why don't you let Xiaoxiao wait here with you for a while?"
Mrs. Ye had no choice but to let Ye Xiaoxiao help her to a pavilion.
It was quite quiet for the mother and daughter sitting here, but Mrs. Ye had something on her mind and had no intention of talking to Ye Xiaoxiao.
