Chapter 126 I think I acted well
"Qianxue, there were some rumors about the Prince of Beining in the capital before. Even my sister said that... the Prince of Beining seemed to have a hidden illness. I have always been curious," Empress Yang suddenly rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Did the prince wrong you during your wedding night last night?"
Fang Qianxue was stunned for a moment, then as if weighing the pros and cons, she shook her head and said, "No, the prince is... fine. We had a harmonious last night."
After saying this, she quickly turned her head to one side and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Oh Qianxue, I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to bring this up," Empress Yang had a look of seeing through everything. She felt that she had touched upon her sorrow and really felt a little guilty. "I understand. Don't be too sad. No one is perfect. With Nineteen's looks and status, if he didn't have a hidden cause, he would have already had a wife, concubines, and children, right?"
"That's exactly what's going on," Fang Qianxue nodded with red eyes, "I'm not wronged. I'm already very satisfied that the prince can provide shelter for us three."
After Xiao Mingzhe led Fang Qianxue away, Empress Yang was still sighing to the palace maid beside her: "It is really difficult for the men of the Xiao family to have children. Some are old, some are disabled. I hope Yu'er will not end up like his father and uncle in the future..."
"Don't worry, Queen," the maid said hurriedly, "I heard from people that the King of Beining had no children or grandchildren because of the karma he caused by killing prisoners of war. He was probably afraid that no one would offer sacrifices to him a hundred years later, so he found a woman with a son. It can be considered a free gift."
"So Fang was just a blind cat that met a dead mouse. She was able to marry into the royal family with two burdens. This is really lucky." Empress Yang shook her handkerchief and smiled gently, "Let's go and report to the emperor."
On this side, Xiao Mingzhe and Fang Qianxue took the reward, thanked the emperor and empress, and walked out of Fengqi Palace.
The two walked in silence for a while. Xiao Mingzhe suddenly looked around and saw that there were no spies of the emperor or empress around. Then he said, "Well, you didn't reveal any flaws just now, did you?"
"No, I think I acted pretty well." Fang Qianxue replied.
She really squeezed out a few tears just now, just enough to express the grievance of marrying a eunuch.
Xiao Mingzhe looked back at her, as if he wanted to say something but didn't, and just stretched out his hand to her.
Fang Qianxue hesitated for a while, slowly stretched out her hand, but did not dare to shake it.
The cold wind blew, and the man's expression almost couldn't hold back. He simply grabbed her hand and pulled her a step closer to him: "We are outside now, please pay attention to my face and don't let others see the flaws."
"I know. Don't be so nervous!" Fang Qianxue looked around and saw only a eunuch holding the rewards for them and a few palace maids sweeping up fallen leaves, all of whom were quite far away. She muttered, "Is your face so important? The truth will come out sooner or later, and then..."
Even if Xiao Mingzhe is in good health, but she and the concubines in the palace are not pregnant, it will be discovered sooner or later!
"After a while, the Japanese king returned to Luzhou," Xiao Mingzhe put her hand in his arms and continued to walk forward. "At that time, it can be said that the two places were separated and they were together less and more apart. It was normal that they had no offspring."
"You're really thoughtful." Fang Qianxue rolled her eyes in her heart.
Well, when this man returns to Mobei, she can live as a widow in Shangjing City as the Princess of Beining. Could there be anything better than this?
The two entered Shou'an Palace. He Qiong led the palace maids and eunuchs outside the palace gate and hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Prince and Princess! The Queen Mother has been talking about it all night, and she got up early and has been waiting in the palace for a long time."
Fang Qianxue and Xiao Mingzhe looked at each other and stepped over the threshold together.
"Greetings, Mother!"
"Nineteen! Qianxue!" Empress Dowager Liu smiled happily and waved to the two of them kindly, "Come quickly, let me take a look."
Xiao Mingzhe ran over, but was pushed away by the old queen with disdain: "Who wants to see you? I want Qianxue to come over and take a look!"
“???” Xiao Mingzhe stepped aside helplessly.
Fang Qianxue quickly stood up, lowered her head and walked over, blushing as she called out, "Mother."
"Good child!" Empress Dowager Liu took her hand and looked her up and down.
Yes, although Fang was over twenty years old and had given birth to two children, she looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and was not inferior to the new beauties in the palace.
No wonder Nineteen took a fancy to it.
"Hurry up and sit down." She pulled Fang Qianxue to sit on the soft couch beside her, and ordered the little palace maid to serve tea. "You must have worked hard last night, right?"
Fang Qianxue felt her whole body go numb when the old lady stared at her. She was flattered and said, "No, no, I went to bed early. Your Majesty has to work harder."
"You went to bed early?" Empress Dowager Liu frowned and looked at Xiao Mingzhe, "Nineteen, didn't you say last time that if I let you marry Qianxue, your illness would be cured?"
"Mother!" It was too late for Xiao Mingzhe to stop her. He didn't know whether he was angry or shy, his face flushed as he asked, "How can we tell her what we said behind her back?"
Fang Qianxue frowned in surprise.
When did Xiao Mingzhe and Empress Dowager Liu discuss treating his illness?
"I said the wrong thing," Empress Dowager Liu hastily corrected herself and asked Fang Qianxue, "Qianxue, Nineteen..."
Fang Qianxue pretended not to understand and blinked her bright eyes: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"Did Nineteen bully you last night? Tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you!" The old queen pointed at Xiao Mingzhe and laughed, "This guy has been like a monkey since he was young. He is very dishonest when he sleeps."
"No, the prince didn't bully me."
"Cough cough!" As soon as Fang Qianxue finished speaking, Xiao Mingzhe coughed twice.
Fang Qianxue quickly added: "Last night... the prince and I had a harmonious relationship."
"Really?" The old lady's eyes sparkled. "Really?"
"Um."
Empress Dowager Liu frowned and sighed, "Don't blame me for being too nosy. Nineteen has been ill for ten years, so it's probably not easy to recover. He is also reluctant to see a doctor, so I can only hope that you pay more attention to his health and treat him as soon as possible if there is any problem."
"Yes, I know." Fang Qianxue looked at Xiao Mingzhe: What should I do? Your mother doesn't seem to believe what I say!
She understood immediately after thinking about it. The old queen mother must have spies in the Beining Palace. Maybe those two matchmakers were sent by her, so how could they be fooled so easily?
There was no call for water in the main house last night, the servants knew it very well.
Xiao Mingzhe glared back impatiently: How should I know? You decide for yourself!
"Mother," Fang Qianxue was a little flustered, and decided to add some details, "Last night the prince grabbed me like a madman and tormented me until dawn. I asked him to call for water to clean me up, but he said forget it, it would waste time..."
