The emperor's attention has always been on the woman, which shows that he is very interested in her. During this period of time, perhaps all the rewards he should have received have been received.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed but also sighed.
Yuan Jiang noticed that the Queen Mother looked at her with a strange look, sometimes hot, sometimes lost, and sometimes regretful. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and quietly tugged at Xie Guanlan's sleeve.
Xie Guanlan pulled her into his arms, shielding her from the wind. "Mother, let's go back to the palace first. The princess has been traveling a lot lately and needs to rest."
Look, a princess of a fallen country, and her prince still calls her princess.
The Queen Mother sighed inwardly, but smiled outwardly. She tentatively patted Yuan Jiang's cold little hand and said, "My prince is right. Since you are the woman he brought back, then you can call me mother. Are you willing?"
"I am willing." Yuan Jiang's charming fox eyes curved, her lips curved into a faint smile, and her voice was soft: "Mother."
This is naturally a good thing for her.
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, thinking to herself, "There's nothing missing in this palace anyway, isn't it just a case of illness? Then I'll call all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to treat me!"
As long as her prince likes and is willing to get close to women, that would be a good thing!
After the greetings, the group entered the palace.
After the meal, Xie Guanlan personally took Yuan Jiang to his bedroom, and Yuan Qingyin followed behind happily.
"Princess, you rest here first." Xie Guanlan took off Yuan Jiang's cloak and handed it to the eunuch who followed closely behind him. He lowered his eyes to look at her pale face, frowned again, and raised his hand to touch her forehead: "Are you still adapting?"
Yuan Jiang raised her little face and said softly, "I'm getting used to it, but I'm a little tired."
She had been sitting in the carriage for nearly half a month, and had felt nauseous many times. She had to rely on herself to keep her frail body going. Now that she had gotten off the carriage and had eaten, she felt a little sleepy.
Yuan Qingyin stood obediently aside, and when she saw Xie Guanlan, she didn't dare to say a word, but lowered her head and pricked up her ears to listen silently.
Xie Guanlan's eyes darkened. He rubbed Yuan Jiang's head, tilted his head slightly, and cast a cold gaze on Yuan Qingyin: "You stay here and take good care of the princess."
"Yes!" Yuan Qingyin subconsciously raised her voice to respond, her knees softened and she almost fell to her knees.
Why is the princess's eldest sister so irritable?
Xie Guanlan frowned his long, dark brows, pursed his thin lips, and stared at Yuan Qingyin with scrutiny.
Yuan Qingyin didn't dare to breathe. The scene of being stabbed in the throat by a sword in her previous life was still vivid in her mind. Now, looking at Xie Guanlan, she struggled to purse the corners of her lips, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
After a long time, Xie Guanlan slowly withdrew his gaze, gave a few instructions, and then turned and left, leaving behind a dozen maids.
"You guys get out of here." Yuan Jiang covered his chest and coughed lightly.
A dozen maids bowed their heads in response, then quietly and neatly went out to guard the room and closed the door behind them.
Yuan Qingyin's tense nerves finally relaxed. Her legs softened and she sat down on the ground, shaking her head and sighing, "This Xie thief is really a vicious monster!"
Yuan Jiang sat on the edge of the bed and put the heater in her hand aside.
Yuan Qingyin didn't hear the answer and didn't care. After taking a breath for a while, her eyes became serious again. She tutted her tongue and said, "Jiang Mei, I'm afraid you have a rival in love."
"Rival?"
"Yes, it's the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong's Mansion named Jia Yueling who was outside the city gate today." Yuan Qingyin's face was solemn. Speaking of Jia Yueling, she had an antagonistic relationship with her in the previous life.
