Everyone talked for a while, and Emperor Yunqi gave the two some gifts. Empress Yun smiled and took Qingran's hand and said, "From now on, the Crown Prince's Mansion will be handed over to you, and Jin'er will also be handed over to you. I will feel at ease when I hand it over to you..."
Everyone thought it was just a polite remark, but An Qingran understood that Queen Yun was not being polite at all. She was entrusting her son to someone else. Her heart was filled with sorrow, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Mother, I will do my best to serve the Crown Prince, and will share the same honor and disgrace with him, and advance and retreat together."
Queen Yun nodded with a smile, squeezed her hand tightly, and tears appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Sister, you are too happy. Marrying such a good daughter-in-law is indeed worth celebrating."
"Yes, sister is so happy. Not only sister, but all of us sisters are also very happy. In terms of appearance and character, no one can match the Crown Princess." Concubine Yan said with a smile, "Look at her figure and demeanor..."
"Yes, of course my sister is happy. Now that she has a daughter-in-law, there will be someone to help her carry some of the burdens. We are so envious of her."
The one who was speaking was Concubine Rong. An Qingran had secretly remembered everything in her heart. There was also the younger Concubine Ru, as well as Concubine Yu and Concubine Jin, all of whom were beautiful women. She didn't know why the Emperor liked the Queen so much and married so many concubines.
The prince wondered if he would be like this after inheriting the throne.
Although he agreed, he would probably face countless frustrations and frustrations.
Thinking that she might share Dongfang Jin with Yingying and Yanyan in the future, she felt sad. Of course, she didn't show it on her face, but just listened to them with a smile. She didn't find it funny when she saw them calling each other sisters. In the rich families, there were no real sisters, not to mention in this palace where people compete for favor, good sisters were just a joke.
Queen Yun also smiled: "Yes, look at you, I was just a little excited, and you advised me like this, I really feel very relieved, in the future, if Jin'er and Qingran have any problems, you must step forward and help or support them, and you are not allowed to watch the fun."
She was half joking.
In fact, she knew in her heart that it was a blessing that they did not do anything bad. How could she expect these women to help her children? She really hoped that she would be healthy so that she could always protect them.
Emperor Yunqi left first because he had state affairs to deal with, allowing these women and children to chat for a while longer.
Because they are all his women, he doesn't want there to be any discord between them. However, having been influenced by them since childhood, he knows that his hope is slim and he is just deceiving himself.
Next, the prince also left. Concubine Shu looked at the masked An Qingran with an expression of irresistible joy on her face. She was very proud. Queen Yun was such a smart person, and she would marry an ugly woman to her son. How could she not be happy?
His son has not yet married a wife, but no matter what, she will be better than her.
But she had to admit that this girl had some skills.
After the emperor left, the concubines were no longer so reserved and started talking about how grand the wedding was yesterday, how busy the officials from the Ministry of Rites were, and even asked An Qingran if she was tired yesterday.
An Qingran didn't know how to answer and just said it was okay.
Those people laughed and spoke in a very friendly tone, saying some very appropriate words, neither too light nor too heavy, which made people feel warm in their hearts. An Qingran couldn't help but admire them secretly. She didn't know how long these people had been training. It was really not easy for them to live in the palace.
Finally, the concubines also said goodbye.
Queen Yun asked An Qingran to stay alone.
Queen Yun's face, which had been smiling slightly just now, turned into a bitter smile, and she looked relieved: "Qingran, from now on, you have to learn how to be a queen. Just now, when your mother saw you frowning, it was obvious that they said something that made you unhappy. In the future, when you encounter such a situation, you must not show it, understand?"
An Qingran was shocked and felt a little ashamed. Her fleeting expression was actually captured by her. It seemed that she was always observing her, and her frown was also seen by others.
"It's okay, it's not obvious, and others may not have seen it. Your mother told you this on the first day. Don't mind it. I'm just afraid that there won't be a chance in the future..." Queen Yun smiled bitterly.
It turns out that she is so smart that she can see through her heart at a glance. An Qingran couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "Mother, what you taught me is true. There are many things I don't understand. I still need your guidance."
"In fact, you have done everything well. It's just that you are young and haven't experienced these things in the deep palace. Your mother is afraid that you will suffer..."
"The daughter-in-law understands mother's painstaking efforts..." An Qingran said sincerely.
In fact, she frowned just now partly because of those hypocritical concubines, and partly because she remembered herself in her previous life. She was so stupid that she firmly believed that serving the same man together could make them good sisters. She married Qin Xiangning for Dongfang Ye and obtained the help of Dingyuan Houfu, which laid a powerful foundation for his successful ascension to the throne...
An Qingran didn't want to think about it anymore.
Although these past events kept flooding into her mind, she told herself that in this life, she would never allow herself to be bullied again. The palace was no longer unfamiliar to her, so she would take every step carefully. What she should worry about were her enemies. If things could go their separate ways in the future, she could let it go. If they still refused to change their ways, then there would be something interesting to watch.
Anyway, she has entered the palace and will eventually become the master of the six palaces. So, she will let those people see how she ascends to the supreme throne of the world.
She made up her mind.
Queen Yun watched her face change color and thought she was blaming herself, so she said quickly, "You are a very good child, everything is fine, I just want you to be better and suffer less in the future... By the way, how is the prince's illness? The prince did not ask the imperial doctors to diagnose him. I guess he doesn't trust them, or maybe he has his own ideas."
An Qingran heard this and said respectfully: "The remaining poison in the prince has not been completely eliminated, but only about 10% and 50% are left. From today on, I will personally make medicine for him and adjust the prescription. It should be fine, but if you want to eliminate it completely, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half..."
An Qingran made more plans, mainly because she was thinking that it would take another half a year for her to reach the age of 15.
It would be best if everyone is in sync.
Queen Yun nodded when she heard this: "I feel relieved to have you by the Crown Prince's side..."
"Mother, how are you feeling lately?" An Qingran finally asked, even though she had promised the Queen never to mention it.
Queen Yun did not blame her, but just smiled and said: "You are really accurate in calculating the date. I have been feeling dizzy a lot recently. I am afraid that the deadline is not far away..."
An Qingran's nose felt a little sour: "It's my daughter-in-law's incompetence that can't cure the poison of my mother..."
"How could it be that you are incompetent? If it weren't for you, I would have been buried by now. And it was you who cured the prince of the poison. I can't thank you enough..." Queen Yun said the truth.
An Qingran shook her head: "I haven't done enough. But mother, how did you get poisoned? Who gave you the poison? Don't you have any clues now?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Queen Yun shook her head: "Logically speaking, they should be none of these people in the palace, but after so many years, I have checked and checked, and everyone looks like it. But when I check carefully, none of them is it, so it's strange..."
An Qingran also felt strange: "Then how did he get poisoned?"
"I was pregnant at the time, and Jin'er was about six months old. Suddenly one day after drinking tea, my stomach hurt and I also had spotting. I thought I couldn't keep the baby. Fortunately, the doctors came in time and the baby was saved, but I kept vomiting blood. The doctors said I was poisoned. They didn't know what the poison was, so they just used ordinary prescriptions to detoxify me. It worked at the time, the baby was saved, and I stopped vomiting blood. But later when I was giving birth, I fainted again and almost had a dystocia..."
Queen Yun paused here, her face full of emotion. She certainly couldn't let go of the past. If it wasn't for the villain who secretly poisoned her, why would she be looking at her daughter-in-law so sadly now, and couldn't even wait for the day when her grandson would be born?
An Qingran frowned upon hearing this: "It seems that the poison that Queen Mother first inflicted has been almost cured, and the second poisoning was probably during childbirth."
Her analysis was well-founded, because the poison in the prince was not exactly the same as the poison in the queen. The queen's was obviously more complicated than the prince's, and there was more than one kind of poison.
Hearing this, Queen Yun was stunned for a moment: "If that's the case, maybe it would be useful to find the midwife from that time."
"I think the midwife is probably no longer alive. But why was the prince able to escape being poisoned again?" An Qingran asked puzzledly.
"The prince was not breathing when he was born. Because I refused to give up, the doctors tried to save him for two days before he started crying. I think the reason why the prince was not harmed again was because the person in the dark thought he would not survive, or because the doctors were always by his side and that person had no chance to harm him." Queen Yun smiled when she said this, "Luckily, we have you now, otherwise we mother and son would have to go to the underworld together to find out. If anything happens in the future, you take care of the prince. He has a stubborn temper. If he hurts you, you have to give him a few chances. He is angry with you because of a misunderstanding. I know my son, he cares about you very much..."
An Qingran felt a little embarrassed. How did he end up talking about himself again?
Queen Yun also smiled when she saw this: "We are already married, what is there to be shy about..."
Because the nanny had shown her the blood-stained handkerchief earlier, she thought that the two of them had really entered their bridal chamber and was very happy.
