Chapter 651: Your Majesty, Please Help Me Clear Up My Confusion
Mo Jinchuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Aunt does look a little abnormal today."
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness the Princess may have been in a bad mood these past few days, so her temper is unavoidable.
She usually lives alone in the huge princess mansion, without anyone to keep her company, and she feels quite lonely."
When mentioning this matter, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but feel guilty.
He couldn't help but sighed softly, and said helplessly: "You know Dai Qiu's temper, I want to send a few people over to serve her, or even just talk to her.
She, on the other hand, always refused with a sullen face, almost hitting him with a stick."
Upon hearing this, the queen's smile faded a little.
When she spoke again, her tone was clearly filled with resentment, "How could I not know the temper of Her Royal Highness the Princess?
I think Your Majesty has forgotten that my niece met me at the temple a few years ago and just wanted to say hello to her elders, but the Princess scolded her in public for not knowing the rules.
After she reminded him, Emperor Xuande finally remembered this incident and sighed, "Yuqing hasn't been to the palace for quite some time."
The Queen said, "It's hard for Your Majesty to still be concerned about him. That child has always been shy and fell ill after returning home from the temple.
She was afraid that if she went into the palace, she would infect me and her cousin with the disease, so she didn't dare to come."
Emperor Xuande shook his head helplessly, "This child is just too sensible."
He glanced at Mo Jinchuan and said meaningfully, "I still remember when that girl first entered the palace, she was so timid that she didn't even dare to cry out loud when she accidentally got lost.
If Xiaowu hadn't come to your palace to pay her respects, she wouldn't know how long she would have cried in hiding."
The Queen chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't mention this matter. If that girl hears it, I'm afraid she will be even more unwilling to come into the palace to talk to me."
Hearing this, Emperor Xuande laughed even more happily.
It was rare to see him so happy, and the Queen didn't want to mention the people and things that would spoil the fun. She smiled and said, "When Your Majesty recovers, you can have a family banquet and invite everyone to the palace for a reunion dinner.
Come to think of it, our family hasn’t sat down and had a good meal together for a long time.”
Emperor Xuande took her hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said with relief: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
The Queen lowered her eyes and smiled gently, saying, "These are all things I should do. Your Majesty, if you say so, you are truly embarrassing me."
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
Emperor Xuande coughed lightly, looked at Song Yanxi and said, "Girl, you may have to stay in the palace for a few more days.
I'm sorry for the hard work you've put in these days."
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. These are just the duties of your servant. I don't deserve the word 'hard work'."
Emperor Xuande and the Empress exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "This girl is good in every way, except that she's too reserved. Her stern demeanor is just like Brother Yan."
The Queen smiled and said, "Look at what Your Majesty said. Princess Yong'an has a more stable temperament. When she becomes Princess Jin, won't she be able to better manage the Marquis's residence?"
"Discipline?" Emperor Xuande glanced at Mo Jinchuan and said with a chuckle, "Xiao Wu's temper deserves to be properly disciplined by Yan Xi."
The Queen coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, don't say this in front of the children."
Emperor Xuande glared slightly, "Why, I'm his father, and I can't say a word?"
He turned to look at Mo Jinchuan and said calmly, "If you're alright, go back. I'll stay here first, Miss Yanxi."
Without waiting for Mo Jinchuan to speak, he continued, "If you are worried, then send the little girl from your house to the palace to accompany you. This will also be considered as cultivating feelings in advance."
"Father..."
"Look at your useless appearance, can I really eat her?"
"I have no such intention."
Emperor Xuande waved his hands impatiently, "Go away quickly and don't get in my way."
The Queen said helplessly, "Your Majesty feels sorry for Prince Jin for having stayed by your side all night. If you want him to go home and rest early, just say so. Why say such harsh words?"
"It's unpleasant to listen to?" Emperor Xuande snorted coldly, "If you don't want to listen, then leave as soon as possible, so I won't have to chase you away."
The Queen smiled and shook her head, saying, "Please stop saying one thing and thinking another. Whenever Prince Jin has a headache or a fever, you're the one who worries more than anyone else."
Being exposed on the spot, Emperor Xuande said with some regret: "Just keep indulging him. Sooner or later, he will be spoiled by you."
The Queen's smile faded a little, and she said with a look of heartache, "I am a mother. What mother wouldn't love her child?"
Thinking of Mo Jinchuan who had lost his mother since childhood, Emperor Xuande's tone softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Go back and rest first. Remember to bring that little girl into the palace to have dinner with me."
"Yes, Father."
Mo Jinchuan responded respectfully, glanced at Song Yanxi worriedly, then turned and left.
Seeing his little tricks clearly, Emperor Xuande shook his head and sighed softly, "I really don't know who this kid takes after."
The queen just smiled without saying anything, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Your Majesty, do you really not know the source of His Royal Highness Prince Jin's long-lasting love?
Of course he knew, he just didn't want to admit it.
It doesn't matter. She is too lazy to bother with a dead person.
After leaning on the bed for a while, Emperor Xuande looked at Song Yanxi and asked, "Miss Yanxi, what Dai Qiu said just now was not a lie, right?"
Song Yanxi knelt down and said with lowered eyes, "Your Majesty is wise. I dare not lie to you."
The Queen was surprised and frowned as she asked, "You little girl, are you really going to kick the Marquis of Yongchuan out?"
Emperor Xuande snorted coldly, "What kind of Marquis of Yongchuan is he? If Brother Song hadn't died early due to poor health, would he have been able to take advantage of this?"
Thinking of the old marquis, his face darkened. "To be honest, it can't be considered as picking up the title. After all, this title shouldn't have been his in the first place."
Seeing the puzzled look in the Empress' eyes, Emperor Xuande said, "Girl, please speak for me. I am very tired."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Song Yanxi raised her eyes to look at the Queen and explained, "Your Majesty, you may not know that before my grandfather passed away, he once entered the palace to ask for an imperial edict from His Majesty."
The Queen said, “I have heard about the imperial edict.
But I don’t know what exactly is written on it.”
Song Yanxi couldn't help but feel surprised when she heard this.
At that time, she had already been canonized as queen and moved into the Eastern Palace.
How could she not know anything about this kind of thing?
As if guessing what Song Yanxi was thinking, the Queen smiled lightly and said, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I know very little about the affairs of the previous dynasty."
As she spoke, she looked at Emperor Xuande, her eyes clearly filled with inquiry.
It seemed as if he was asking whether it was appropriate for her to hear about this matter.
Emperor Xuande feigned displeasure and said, "Look at what I am doing. If you want to know, then listen. If you don't want to know, then just pretend you've never heard anything."
Hearing this, the Queen pursed her lips and said as if she had made up her mind: "I want to hear it."
Emperor Xuande smiled and nodded, then looked at Song Yanxi and said, "Get up first. Considering what happened back then, you were so young, and even though you experienced it firsthand, you don't really understand it."
Song Yanxi stood up as he said and followed his words, "Your Majesty, please help me solve my doubts."
