Jiang Yi was still a little sleepy. She wrapped herself in the quilt and said, "I want to sleep a little longer."
"Well, then let the Queen Mother wait for a while." Xie Yuan said lovingly, "Our little Jiang Yi can sleep as long as he wants."
Jiang Yi has not gotten down from the couch since he came to the palace yesterday.
At first I wanted to get down, but I couldn’t, and then I just ran out of strength.
Xie Yuan stroked Jiang Yi's long hair inch by inch and asked, "Are you afraid of the Queen Mother?"
Jiang Yi narrowed her eyes, looking more like a lazy kitten. She said, "I'm scared."
"Is there anything else you are afraid of?" Xie Yuan asked.
Jiang Yi said: "I am afraid of many things. I am afraid of death, afraid of not living long, afraid of not being able to get you, and even more afraid..."
“It is precisely because we are afraid of so many things that we have the courage to risk everything.”
At this moment, Xie Yuan suddenly realized that he seemed to be unable to see through Jiang Yi.
"Now I am you, are you still afraid?"
He leaned over and kissed the little girl on the forehead. "Don't be afraid. I will take care of everything in the future. Just tell me what you want or don't want."
Jiang Yi hugged the man's neck and asked, "Is it true?"
"Otherwise, when have I ever lied to you?"
When he held her tender and soft beauty in his arms, he could no longer control himself for a moment.
Therefore, when the emperor sent someone to convey the message, it was already three quarters past midnight.
The Queen Mother was awakened from her sleep. After learning the time, she looked a little angry. "Why is the Emperor so unreasonable? Does he want to stay overnight in Miss Jiang's room?"
Although the imperial edict to confer the title of empress had been issued, Jiang Yi had not yet become the empress. It was inappropriate for her to live in the palace, let alone do this.
"What if Fourth Miss Jiang is pregnant with the Emperor's child? It will be very difficult for the Empress Dowager to persuade her to leave." The palace maid beside the Empress Dowager said worriedly.
"If she gets pregnant, I'll beat her." The Queen Mother's eyes lowered, a hint of cruelty in her eyes. "It's not that I'm cruel, but how can his child be a blessing?"
"A short pain is worse than a long one. I am doing this for his own good."
But deep down, the Queen Mother's first thought was naturally Prince Gong.
If the emperor has a child, what will happen to Prince Gong?
People are selfish. For her son, a grandson whom she has never met is naturally not important.
The Queen Mother came to Ganquan Palace and found Jiang Yi's room under the guidance of the palace maids.
Xie Yuan was combing Jiang Yi's hair. He was dexterous and careful, so with just a few words of instruction from the palace maids, he could do it very well.
Because it was late at night, normal people would be resting at this time, and I'm afraid Jiang Yi was too.
The Queen Mother just waited in the outer hall and sent someone to call Jiang Yi out.
Xie Yuan combed Jiang Yi's hair into a simple bun and said, "You go out first. I'm here."
Jiang Yi then came before the Queen Mother.
The girl has no makeup on but her face is still pretty, and now there is a hint of subtle charm, and her graceful appearance is very pleasing to the eye.
The Queen Mother had met Jiang Yi once before, but she didn't take Jiang Yi seriously at that time. Jiang Yi was behind the Emperor, so she just glanced at him.
When I saw her immediately, I knew she was a beauty.
But the Queen Mother felt that this man was a disaster. If he was not a disaster, how could he have seduced her eldest son into falling in love with him and caused a rift between the monarch and his subjects, who were originally in harmony?
Therefore, there was a hint of obvious displeasure in the Queen Mother's eyes.
"Are you Jiang Yi?" the Queen Mother said, "Come closer and let me take a look at you."
Jiang Yi walked in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother hooked her chin and said, "This vixen looks like she is not a good person."
The Queen Mother put down her hand, her brows turned cold, as if she wanted to intimidate Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother. "Your Majesty, you came to see me at this time today. I'm afraid you don't just want to say these words, right?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Then guess what I am here to do today."
"Forgive my ignorance." Jiang Yi feigned innocence. "I think the Queen Mother knows that the Emperor will marry me soon. I think perhaps the Queen Mother wants to come and see me and get closer to me."
The Queen Mother sneered, "How dare you think that? Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of it? A person who grew up in the countryside actually has the audacity to brag about being the Queen."
Jiang Yi said innocently, "The emperor said I would do it, so I did it. After all, I want to be the emperor's queen, not the queen mother's queen, right?"
"Even if the Queen Mother wants me to be your queen, I'm afraid it won't work. After all, the imperial decree has already been issued, and I can only be your daughter-in-law from now on."
The Queen Mother was really irritated by Jiang Yi this time. "You have such a sharp tongue! I have misjudged you."
"But do you think that with such a sharp tongue, you can secure the throne of queen?"
"Or maybe you think the emperor really likes you."
Jiang Yi looked confused and puzzled.
"You almost became the Princess of Gong in the past, and now the Emperor has made you the Empress. Regardless of whether the court officials are interested in this, a man's appearance is one thing, but what he thinks in his heart is another."
"It's one thing now that I'm still feeling fresh about you, but when that freshness wears off, I'll definitely remember the relationship you once had with Prince Gong."
"I'm afraid you'll be tortured by then."
"At this time, if someone instigates or frames you, you and Prince Gong will be in big trouble."
