Chapter 663: Don’t be too greedy
Knowing that Song Yanxi was shy and must be feeling embarrassed, the Queen smiled gently and changed the subject, "Your Majesty suddenly caught a cold this time, and it was thanks to Yanxi's timely treatment. For this alone, I have to thank you very much.
I'll have Yingxue take you to the storeroom later to pick out something. Feel free to take whatever you like, and don't be polite to me."
As the queen spoke, her kind eyes fell on Mo Jinchuan, and her smile deepened, "When you marry into the palace and become the Princess of Jin, you must follow the Prince of Jin and call me mother.
If you continue to be as polite as before when we meet, I will be angry."
She was so enthusiastic that even though Song Yanxi felt a little uncomfortable, she could only respond with a smile.
When Mo Yingxue heard that the Queen was going to open her private vault, her eyes lit up instantly. She hurriedly stood up from her chair and walked down quickly. She took Song Yanxi's hand affectionately and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, come with me. I'll take you to choose carefully."
It doesn't look like he's accompanying me, Song Yanxi, to pick something. It's obvious that he wants it on his own.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. When the queen saw her like this, she knew that she had been thinking about her for a long time.
She shook her head and smiled helplessly: "Go, this girl can't wait any longer."
Jiaojiao quickly jumped out and said, "Grandma, Jiaojiao wants to go too!"
The Queen said with a doting look on her face, "Go quickly, and help your brothers pick some as well. I just want to talk to your father.
He rarely comes to the palace, and when he does, he's confined to the imperial study by your grandfather to play chess with him, and he doesn't even have time to come over and say a word."
When the little girl thought about having gifts to choose from, her eyes sparkled and she said, "Thank you, Grandma!"
She turned her head to look at Mo Jinchuan, hesitated for a moment, and immediately chose to leave with Song Yanxi.
Afraid of feeling guilty, she murmured softly, "Grandma Empress is just talking, she's not going to eat Daddy."
Comforting herself in this way, Jiaojiao suddenly felt at ease. Her short legs moved very fast, and she couldn't wait to rush into the warehouse.
As she walked, she muttered, "Big brother, second brother... little brother, and little sister!"
Mo Yingxue was so amused listening to this that she leaned over to Song Yanxi's ear and whispered, "Fifth sister-in-law, Xiao Jiaojiao's brothers and sisters all want her. You have to work harder to marry Fifth Brother."
Song Yanxi was choked by these words and coughed violently twice. She wished she could find something to plug her mouth.
How can a young girl, who hasn't even gotten married yet, dare to say anything?
If this gets out, it will definitely make people laugh.
Seeing Song Yanxi's face flushed, Mo Yingxue didn't dare tease her anymore. She turned around and took a peek, muttering, "I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to say to Fifth Brother. She can't possibly urge you to have a child again.
Your Majesty the Queen is truly extraordinary. She is already so busy managing all these palace affairs every day, yet she still has the leisure to urge you to have more children.
If the baby is really born, can she still help take care of it?"
Song Yanxi coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Perhaps there is something important that he wants to discuss with the prince."
Although the queen looks friendly, she is not Mo Jinchuan's biological mother after all. There is still a layer of separation between them.
Some polite words are just for listening, don't take them too seriously.
Even if she was sincere, she wouldn't keep him to talk for such a small matter.
But she couldn't guess what the important matter was.
"Who cares!" Mo Yingxue naturally took Song Yanxi's arm and said with a chuckle, "There are so many good things in my mother's private storehouse. Fifth sister-in-law, you must pick them carefully later. If you like anything, just take it.
I remember that my mother had a very beautiful jade headpiece. My fifth sister-in-law wore it to the family dinner. Wouldn't she have fascinated my fifth brother?"
Just thinking about it made her happy.
Jiaojiao also laughed and imitated her words: "Mom is going to make Dad faint."
When Mo Yingxue heard this, she quickly reminded him, "Xiao Jiaojiao, don't say that carelessly. If your father finds out, I'll be scolded."
The little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Jiaojiao, don't tell me. Jiaojiao doesn't want her aunt to be scolded."
Hearing this, Mo Yingxue's heart almost melted, and she pinched her little face and said, "You are really my aunt's sweetheart, and it really paid off that I love you so much.
Come on, auntie will take you to pick out treasures, take whatever you like."
Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly.
But when he turned around, he thought of something and asked curiously, "Aunt, if I take too much, will the Empress Dowager be unhappy?"
Mo Yingxue said decisively: "How is that possible? Your grandmother is very generous, just take it.
As long as you can take it, you can even empty the entire warehouse."
The little girl touched her chin and said thoughtfully, "Then let's not do that. One should not be too greedy."
Seeing Song Yanxi looking over, she smiled brightly and said, "Mother, it was big brother who told Jiaojiao."
Thinking of something, she added in a baby voice, "Big brother also said that Jiaojiao should listen to mother and be a good boy."
Mo Yingxue quickly agreed, "Your elder brother is right. No one doesn't like a good child."
Jiaojiao pursed her lips when she heard that and said unhappily, "That bad woman doesn't like it."
Song Yanxi frowned, "Jiaojiao, don't call Princess Shihan like that anymore."
Hearing those four words, Mo Yingxue's face fell, "Why are you mentioning this person? It's unlucky."
She took Jiaojiao's hand and said with a stern face: "Jiaojiao, next time you run into that woman, your aunt will vent your anger for you."
The little girl asked hurriedly: "Auntie, how do you vent your anger?"
Mo Yingxue pursed her lips and said with a cold smile, "Of course, I'll make her pay for it."

"There is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask Prince Jin to clarify it." After sending the palace maids away, the queen slowly spoke.
Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Your Highness, I also have something to ask the Queen."
The Queen was silent for a moment, then said, "Ask me anything you want, I will tell you everything I know."
Even so, before Mo Jinchuan asked her, she took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty's serious illness three years ago, the imperial physician said it was due to anger, but I think it was more like poisoning."
"Poison?" Mo Jinchuan's face suddenly darkened.
As the king of a country, there are people responsible for his daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, even the flowers and plants that can be seen with the naked eye.
There was no possibility of anything dangerous appearing in front of him.
Even if there is any poison that can luckily avoid the layers of inspection below, it cannot escape the final poison test.
Although it is inhumane, it has to be done.
When the emperor is in danger, the world will be in chaos.
The Queen shook her head, her expression grim as she said, "This is just my guess. As to whether Your Majesty was poisoned at the time, even Imperial Physician Xi can't say for sure."
She looked at Mo Jinchuan and her face darkened, "Your Majesty's condition was very critical at the time, and the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were helpless.
If it weren't for Doctor Xi's bowl of resurrection soup, perhaps the prince would never see His Majesty again."
Mo Jinchuan asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't anyone tell this king?"
The Queen smiled sarcastically, staring into his eyes coldly and asking, "Prince Jin, do you really not know why?"
