Chapter 2085: Weird
After Wu Wan finished speaking, she looked at Xu Miaoyin and said, "Your Highness Prince Wei's behavior is truly worrying. The sisters in the harem are all extremely worried about why the Emperor sealed off Chengqian Palace. Didn't the Empress even ask the Emperor for clarification?"
Actually, what is unclear?
This matter was not announced publicly, but everyone knew that the affair between Prince Wei and Miss Gu was a hot topic in the city, and the rumors were as ugly as they could be.
What she said at this moment not only hurt the Queen's heart, but also stabbed Nan Yan.
Nan Yan listened and frowned.
Xu Miaoyin's expression naturally wasn't very good either, but since it was her birthday today, she couldn't get angry easily. She just said calmly, "What's there to ask?"
Wu Wan laughed and said, "Oh, it seems that I have been worrying for nothing."
“…”
"Since the Empress isn't worried about His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, then I really shouldn't worry about it."
Seeing that her words were already a bit harsh.
Just when everyone was at a loss for words and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xin Qing, who had just been promoted to Consort Shun, said softly, "The Emperor is very strict with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and has had him concentrate on his studies in Chengqian Palace, so he hasn't had time to congratulate the Empress on her birthday."
Her words were naturally meant to lighten the atmosphere.
It is also to help the queen regain some face.
Xu Miaoyin glanced at her. The two of them had known each other for so many years, so there was no need for further words. She only nodded slightly. At this time, Xinping in her arms said softly, "I know, brother misses the queen too."
Hearing her words, Xu Miaoyin looked down at her.
Smiling, he said, "Xinping is so good."
“…”
"It would be great if your brother could be like you, well-behaved and carefree every day."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Xinping's chubby cheeks.
Although she and Nan Yan had a rift because of the King of Wei, she still loved the child sincerely. Xinping was originally a well-behaved child. Feeling the Queen's tenderness, she even consciously rubbed her cheek against her palm.
However, this warm moment was interrupted by Wu Wan's somewhat sharp voice——
"Carefree?"
She repeated these four words, sneered again, and said, "How can His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei be carefree?"
Xu Miaoyin frowned when she heard this.
He turned to look at her and said coldly, "What do you mean by that, Concubine Hui? Can't the King of Wei be free from worries?"
Wu Wan smiled and said, "Of course I wouldn't dare to harbor such thoughts. Everyone hopes that the King of Wei's life will be less bumpy, but things don't always go as planned. He's doing well, but I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will harm him."
“…”
"The King of Wei is kind, but he can't stand up to the evil hearts of those people."
Hearing this, Nan Yan looked up at her.
Wu Wan naturally felt her gaze and looked back at her, her eyes seemed to say: What are you looking at?
Nan Yan sneered.
At this time, although Xinping was still young, she had already sensed a strange atmosphere from the eyes and tone of the adults. She carefully left the queen's seat, returned to Nanyan's side, and gently hugged her mother's arm.
Nan Yan reached out and gently stroked her hair.
Hearing her words, Xu Miaoyin frowned, her displeasure evident. She said, "Concubine Hui, you're acting so strangely so early in the morning. What do you want to say? Is my birthday the right time for you to make grand speeches?"
