Chapter 75 Bird in a Cage
After saying that, Xiao Fuguang turned and walked out.
Looking at her departing back, Concubine Yao dropped the teacup in her hand to the ground with a bang.
Cuizhu hurried forward to comfort her.
"My lady, calm down."
"It's not worth it to argue with such a vulgar woman."
Concubine Yao could no longer maintain her gentle demeanor and spoke through gritted teeth.
"She's not rude. She was just threatening me. She's already suspicious of me. If I push her too hard, she'll side with the Queen."
Cuizhu was also surprised when she heard this.
"This princess is so brave."
Concubine Yao spoke angrily.
"You dare to threaten me, how can you not be brave?"
Liu Yue accompanied Xiao Fuguang out of Yikun Palace.
"Miss, are we really going to see the Queen?"
Xiao Fuguang shook his head.
"No, let's leave the palace."
But I didn't take many steps forward.
Then Nanny Fang, who was beside the queen, came over to greet them.
"Princess, our queen wants to see you."
Today was really interesting. Many powerful people in the palace wanted to see him. Xiao Fuguang nodded.
"Then please lead the way, Madam."
Fengyi Palace.
As soon as the queen saw Xiao Fuguang come in, she spoke hurriedly without waiting for her to bow.
"Don't bow, Fu Guang, come sit next to me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang bowed politely.
"The Queen is tolerant and kind, and courtesy should not be abandoned."
Today's queen didn't even sit in the main seat, but sat on the chair on the left.
Xiao Fuguang walked over and sat down beside her.
"I haven't seen you for a while. I wonder if you are doing well."
Upon hearing this, the queen took her hand affectionately.
"As expected, my daughter is so considerate. If I had a close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket like the princess by my side, I'm afraid I would wake up laughing in my sleep."
"This is how I live. Life in this palace is nothing but jealousy and quarrels."
"Your mother is in good health now. I have been thinking about her all these days."
Xiao Fuguang felt a little uncomfortable with the queen's warmth, but he also maintained an outwardly obedient appearance.
"Thank you, Queen, for your concern. Mother has been nursing her cold for the past few days and is finally recovered. However, she was already weak, so I ask that she take good care of herself. When it gets warmer, I will let her live a leisurely life at the farm in the suburbs. I also plan to enter the Astrology House to study astrology."
After hearing what Xiao Fuguang said, the queen's eyes flashed with deep thought, and then she smiled.
"Astrology is a profound and mysterious subject. It is truly rare for a princess to have such an ambition. However, the situation in this imperial city is unpredictable. Sometimes, even if you want to stay away, you will be swept up in it."
Xiao Fuguang smiled slightly, looking calm.
"I know my status is humble, and I only wish to protect this piece of pure land and study in peace. As for the affairs of the world, I believe that the emperor is wise and intelligent, a benevolent ruler, and the empress is virtuous and dignified, a model for the country. Together, the emperor and empress will protect every citizen of Xuanyuan. With the emperor and empress protecting us, I believe that I and my family can live a stable life."
The Queen was more and more satisfied with his words as he spoke without making any mistakes.
"The princess' words are most pleasing to me."
Xiao Fuguang continued talking to the Queen for a long time before he stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as she leaves.
Nanny Fang spoke.
"Your Majesty, this princess is indeed quite capable. She has been talking to you for a long time and has never let anything slip. However, she is a little too stubborn. Our Crown Prince is such a good choice for her, but she insists on studying astrology wholeheartedly."
The queen smiled and spoke upon hearing this.
"Don't panic."
"Noble Concubine Yao has set her sights on her. Her life won't be so easy anymore."
Nanny Fang came forward and added more tea for the queen.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to stalk the cicada while the oriole waits behind?"
The queen took a sip of tea from the cup.
"As for this person, adding icing on the cake is just a fuss, while helping someone in need is precious. Imperial Concubine Yao always likes to snatch things from me. I want to see what will happen when these two clash."
"Have someone keep an eye on the imperial concubine."
In the Xiao family's carriage.
Liu Yue spoke worriedly.
"Miss, it seems that both the Queen and the Imperial Concubine want you. The Queen seems quite gentle, and the Imperial Concubine...Miss, the Crown Prince is also a handsome man, otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang raised his hand and patted her head.
"You are confused today, or what?"
"I finally managed to escape from the Gu family's den of tigers and wolves. Am I going to let myself fall into that den again?"
"You've been acting foolishly all day. Whether it's the Queen or the Imperial Concubine, it's not easy. They're used to fighting over each other, and I don't want to become the object of their fight."
Liu Yue touched his head.
"So what are you going to do, Miss?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke upon hearing this.
"This imperial city is full of disputes and people's hearts are being manipulated everywhere. The Xiao family's current development is limited. In this case, it's better to stay away from the disputes. I will discuss it with my mother when I get home. In the future, our Xiao family will develop business and live our own small life on the farm. Whether it's the Crown Prince or the Prince of Rong, it has nothing to do with us."
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Prince Rong was feeding the thrush.
Su Yan bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty."
Prince Rong continued to tease the bird in the cage.
"My mother has met Xiao Fuguang, but she remains unmoved."
Su Yan's eyes flashed deep when he heard this, and he muttered something.
"He's getting more and more courageous."
Prince Rong glanced at him.
"Su Yan, you seem to know the Princess Protector of the Country very well."
Su Yan bowed hurriedly.
"Since he is someone who can help the prince, Su Yan must have learned about him."
"After all, the prince is of noble status. Those who cannot bring benefits to the prince are not worthy of being by his side."
Prince Rong continued to tease Huamei.
"But he is arrogant now and looks down on me."
Su Yan looked at Huamei who was being teased by Prince Rong.
"Your Highness, since she doesn't know how to be obedient, then destroy her support, break her wings, and keep her in a cage, and she will be obedient."
After hearing this, Prince Rong turned and looked at Su Yan.
"you mean?"
Su Yan continued to bow.
"Your Highness, the reason this princess is so arrogant is simply because she has a master who is the Imperial Master, and Madam Xiao dotes on her. Now that the Imperial Master is in seclusion, without Madam Xiao, she, an orphan, will be heartbroken. Your Highness, if you take this opportunity to be considerate and comfort her, she will naturally fall in love with you."
