There was light coming from the study and a slight burning smell coming from the yard.
People passing by were curious and wanted to stick their heads out to look, but when they saw the gate was guarded and there were many people standing there, they gave up their curiosity.
Defei came out, her expression normal, but she exuded a coldness all over her body, as if she had encountered a disaster.
She was the one who was burned, but it was more than just her clothes that turned to ashes.
The Eighth Prince has always been smart. When he came back and saw that the servants were replaced, he would definitely know that it was him who did it.
She couldn't point it out to her son in person and let him handle it on his own.
What's wrong with him? What's wrong with his preferences?
It is precisely because she understands and empathizes that she cannot speak out.
Only in this way can I preserve my son's self-esteem, give him a warning, and let him know that there are some things that cannot be done, even if they are secret.
Fan Tingzuo sent Concubine De to the carriage and went in personally to deal with the aftermath.
Inside the palace.
The Queen personally went to the Prince's Palace, the courtyard where the Ninth Prince would soon move in.
After checking the layout, the Queen personally arranged for the palace maids to prepare all the necessary items.
The Ninth Prince followed behind him, his expression calm, but he radiated warmth.
The prince came back after a while, with a calm expression. He met the Ninth Prince's grateful gaze and curled his lips slightly.
"Heng'er, have you dealt with everything?"
The Queen asked.
The prince nodded without giving any details.
But from what the prince said and did just now, the queen was very relieved.
That's how her son should be.
Be moderate, have your own opinions, and dare to act.
He is the future master of the Great Phoenix Dynasty, and he doesn't need to be blocked behind him in everything. Someone should teach him how to do it...
He should be clear-headed and know what he should do.
The palace maids went down to prepare for the tasks assigned by the Queen...
The Crown Prince ordered the palace maids to give his newly made undershirt, pajamas, bedding, etc. to the Ninth Prince first.
"Ninth brother, it will take two days to remake it, so you can just use it tonight.
They are all newly made and I have never worn them.”
The prince explained in a calm voice.
"It's alright, Your Highness. It doesn't matter even if it's worn."
The Ninth Prince's voice was calm, and much lighter than it usually sounded.
The prince felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Let's go! Heng'er, can I go and see where you live?"
The Queen asked gently.
The prince paused for a moment, obviously not expecting the queen to make such a request.
She could have gone directly, but she asked to show respect for the prince.
The prince, who always looked steady, seemed a little uneasy at this moment.
The queen glanced at him and realized that no matter how mature and prudent her son was, he was still a child.
Seeing that he had no objection, the queen asked the eunuch beside the prince to lead the way to the prince's bedroom, study, and utility room.
Knowing that her son has always been a germaphobe, the queen would ask the prince for his opinion before entering the house and touching anything.
The Ninth Prince followed silently behind him, looking around, revealing for the first time the curious and lively look of a young man.
The prince's demeanor softened involuntarily.
The prince's place, whether it is the residence or the arrangement of books, is a model.
Neat and orderly, spotless, and pleasing to the eye.
But after watching it, the queen felt empty inside.
Feeling ashamed and self-blaming.
My son is good in every way, except that he lacks some excitement and popularity.
It was almost time for lunch and the Queen was about to return to the palace. She asked the Prince if he would like to have lunch with her.
Worried that the prince would refuse, the queen casually said with a smile that the fourth and eighth princes had always wanted to hold the little princess, but Baozhu fell asleep in the morning...
The prince looked calm on the surface, but he felt a subtle sense of crisis in his heart.
As Baozhu's favorite prince, how could he be absent?
The Ninth Prince didn't even wait to be asked any questions, and suddenly felt empty inside.
After the Crown Prince agreed, the Queen returned to the palace. Without asking the Ninth Prince for his opinion, she directly ordered, "Xiaojiu, follow your mother back to the palace."
The Ninth Prince suddenly looked up, his eyes revealing an expression that could not be concealed.
After Concubine De left, Kunning Palace was temporarily empty, so Concubine Li took Jun Baozhu back to Qiwu Palace to play for a while.
Jun Baozhu was lying on the bed playing with her feet. She had already learned from Huo Feng how the Queen and the Crown Prince dealt with the palace maids in the Ninth Prince's residence.
Jun Baozhu was relieved, and her love for the queen and the prince deepened...
Thinking of the Ninth Prince, I felt even more distressed.
Jun Baozhu's eyes suddenly widened when footsteps were heard outside the door.
[Eh? My beloved mother is back? ]
The queen's mood had been up and down that morning, and she had just calmed down. When she heard these words at the door, she couldn't help but feel in a good mood.
This little guy is so smart!
I can already recognize her steps.
[The Queen Mother is simply the best mother in the world! ]
Hearing this, the queen stopped.
I could hear Jun Baozhu's heartfelt praise, comfort, relief, self-blame, guilt, sadness...
Various emotions intertwined, and the queen's eyes were sore.
