The Queen felt that Emperor Jinde's tone seemed a little annoyed, but seeing his expression, she was happy, and it was clear that she had no intention of arguing with Marquis Anguo.
Instead, it sounds like an elder complaining about a younger person, but there's nothing they can do about it.
The Queen lowered her eyelashes. She had long known that His Majesty treated Marquis Anguo differently, and she was afraid that the Crown Prince was not as good as Marquis Anguo.
One is his biological son, and the other is just a minister, but His Majesty values the latter.
She didn't understand either.
The Queen smiled slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't be upset. The Marquis of Anguo treats you as a close friend, which is why he is so sincere and straightforward, not concealing his true nature."
"I'm afraid the Marquis of Anguo won't pay any attention to anyone else."
Emperor Jinde nodded, feeling very pleased. "How could I blame him? He said not to rush me, so I just let him do it."
"I don't know what kind of magic potion Xie Qingyao gave Qi Yun to make him focus all his heart on her."
The Queen smiled and said, "This is also a good thing. The Marquis of Anguo and his wife are in love and harmony. Your Majesty, as his sworn brother, can rest assured."
Emperor Jinde didn't know what he was thinking about, and was slightly distracted.
Then he returned to Ziji Palace with the Queen.
"Yongle is not young anymore, it's time for him to choose a prince consort and have someone who is considerate and companionable by his side." Emperor Jinde suddenly said.
"Family background is not important; character is what counts. As long as Yongle likes you, that's all that matters."
The Queen nodded and said, "I'll talk to her later. Yongle is a child with an undecided mind and high standards. I really don't know what kind of person she will choose."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace was warm and the emperor and empress seemed like an ordinary couple, worrying about their children's marriage.
This day.
Xie Qingyao was reading the manuscripts her father gave her in the yard. They were all about the study of poison techniques.
Zhitao came over and said, "Madam, a passerby passed in a note at the corner gate, saying it was for you, Madam."
Xie Qingyao was curious, "For me?"
She took the note and unfolded it, her expression suddenly becoming serious as she ordered, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going out."
Zhitao's heart skipped a beat, thinking something must have happened.
"yes."
Frost Moon Mozhu was still frightened by what happened at the last Lantern Festival, so this time he stayed by Xie Qingyao's side, never leaving her side.
Xie Qingyao only took the two of them out.
After a while, the carriage stopped at Fenglai Teahouse.
Xie Qingyao got off the carriage and went to a private room as if she was familiar with the place.
The door was pushed open with a "creak".
At first glance, there was no one inside.
When she walked deeper, she heard a faint voice from behind the curtain.
"Is it Qingyao?"
Xie Qingyao frowned, followed the voice, and opened the curtain, "Aying, it's me."
I saw the note saying "Come to Fenglai Teahouse quickly" and a small "Save me" in the corner.
Xie Qingyao recognized Dou Yueying's handwriting at first glance and knew that she had encountered some difficulties.
Seeing Dou Yueying's appearance now, it's probably a big trouble.
I haven't seen her for a while. Dou Yueying looked haggard and thin, and she was in a state of being frightened.
"Qingyao." Dou Yueying rushed over and hugged Xie Qingyao, tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong?" Xie Qingyao raised her hand and stroked her back. "I'm here, don't be afraid, tell me if you have anything."
Frost Moon and Mo Zhu stood guard on both sides.
Xie Qingyao pulled Dou Yueying to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
"No, no, don't." Dou Yueying quickly grabbed her hand, "Don't drink it. Don't drink any tea outside. There might be something in it."
Xie Qingyao put down the teacup and said, "Well, I don't want to drink it."
She is now studying medicine and knows how to distinguish various medicinal herbs. She is also extremely sensitive to smells and can generally tell if there is anything unusual in the tea.
The tea in front of me is just ordinary tea.
"Aying, what happened to make you like this? You asked me to save you, what happened?"
Dou Yueying wiped her tears, finally calmed down, and told her recent experience.
"The prince of Changning Marquisate has been pestering me..."
That was not a normal pursuit at all, but a one-sided hunt.
"He's been following me time and again, and he's been creating random encounters one after another. There aren't that many coincidences in the world. I run into him everywhere I go."
"At every banquet, the prince would say some ambiguous words in front of everyone, making people misunderstand that we are very close and that good things are about to happen."
"He seemed to have me as his property. If I accidentally made eye contact or said a word to another man, he would lose his temper at me in front of everyone, accusing me of being unwomanly and fickle!"
Dou Yueying had never seen such an arrogant and crazy person. She had never promised him anything, so when did she become his property?
"I have nothing to do with him at all, but no matter how much I reject him, he seems to be oblivious to me. He only gets worse and worse."
"Yao Dai was beaten up. I know it must have been done by the prince. He doesn't allow any man other than him to get close to me." Dou Yueying spoke rapidly, full of anger.
Xie Qingyao could hardly bear to hear this anymore. What the hell was this? The prince of the Marquis of Changning? Did he think he was the emperor?
It's lawless now.
However, the following words refreshed Xie Qingyao's cognition. It turned out that some people could be even more shameless.
Dou Yueying: "The prince came to our Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage, but my father rejected him."
"Since then, I found that I was being followed and monitored. There were always eyes watching me secretly. The prince knew where I went, what I did, and what I said."
"He even bribed the waiter at the teahouse to put drugs in my tea. If I hadn't been careful, I would have fallen for it."
