Chapter 141 I like whatever you wear
Gu Huailing looked at Li Chi's back, and a rare hint of relief appeared in his dark eyes.
Now that the prince is back, he can put down the burden in his hands and spend more time with his Ayuan.
Late at night, Li Zhi knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was in a casual manner and was still dressed as a servant, but his aura was unstoppable.
In the study, Shen Yuan looked at Li Chi in surprise and shock.
After the man finished speaking, she hurried forward and saluted him, "Your Highness, I greet you, Your Highness."
"Madam, there's no need to be so polite. You are my savior after all."
"Shenzhi and I have a plan that requires Madam's help."
Shen Yuan nodded.
The next day, Chen Yuan submitted a sign to the palace, requesting to see the Queen. She and Liu Qingqing waited outside the palace.
The palace servant looked at Chen Yuan with embarrassment, "It's not that I'm willing to be flexible. The Empress has been away from worldly affairs for many years. Even if you wait here for a whole day, the Empress will not see you."
Chen Yuan stuffed a heavy purse into the palace maid's hand and said with a smile, "Please tell the eunuch once more that I know how to make a delicious almond yogurt."
Almond cheese is the prince's favorite food.
The eunuch stuffed his purse into his sleeve and sighed, "Forget it, I'll pass it on for you."
Shen Yuan thanked him with a smile.
"I finally came out to relax, but I never thought I would see something unlucky."
Concubine Rong's voice sounded behind Shen Yuan.
Chen Yuanliu gently stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong looked Shen Yuan up and down, "Things are different now. The Prime Minister's wife's knees are finally bent."
Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged and his posture remained respectful, as if he was accepting everything. This made Rong Fei feel like she had punched cotton, and she became even angrier.
She winked at the palace maid behind her.
The maid stepped forward and scolded, "The Prime Minister's wife hasn't been to the palace for so long that she even forgot how to perform formalities."
After saying this, she knelt before Concubine Rong and said, "Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty Rong. May Her Majesty Rong live in peace and happiness."
After she finished her greeting, she looked down at Shen Yuan and asked, "Madam, have you learned it?"
Chen Yuan's expression was indifferent and she didn't even glance at the palace maid.
Liu Qingqing took a step forward and knelt before Concubine Rong. "Your servant Liu Qingqing pays respects to Her Majesty Rong."
Rong Fei frowned, "You are going to marry Ji'er soon, so don't have any contact with the people in the Gu Mansion in the future."
Liu bit her lip lightly and said nothing.
"Did you hear me talking to you?"
Chen Yuan repeatedly avoided her, but Concubine Rong remained aggressive.
Chen Yuan gently helped Liu up and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any dissatisfaction, please come to me. Please do not involve others."
Concubine Rong looked at Chen Yuan and sneered, "So it's my turn, isn't it?"
Shen Yuan said in a steady tone, "I dare not!"
"I see there's nothing you dare not do. Come on, Gu is showing disrespect to me, slap me in the face!"
The palace maid behind Concubine Rong immediately stepped forward to pull Chen Yuan.
Liu Qingqing was so anxious that her eyes turned red. "Empress Rong, please be merciful. I can't hit you."
Concubine Rong sneered, "This is the Imperial Palace. Is there anything I can't beat her with? Hit her hard and break her mouth."
The palace maid raised her hand, and just as the slap was about to fall, a majestic voice sounded behind everyone.
"stop!"
The queen came over surrounded by the crowd.
Rong Fei saw the Queen's fake smile and said, "What kind of day is today? Even the Queen is out."
"Your Majesty, you don't know this. This Gu family has no respect for the inferiors. I am just teaching her a lesson."
The Queen looked at Concubine Rong and said, "Gu is the wife of an important official. Concubine Rong, please don't break the rules."
Rong Fei bowed with a smile, "Your Majesty, it is right that you are teaching me a lesson, but now this important official has become a criminal, and this servant has become a criminal. Is it not right that I, a concubine, can teach you a lesson?"
She looked at the queen triumphantly, her eyes full of contempt. She was just a resentful woman in the palace whose son had died. She would not treat her the same way.
If she didn't know what was good for her, she would be blamed for her ruthless actions after Ji'er succeeded to the throne.
"Someone, send Concubine Rong back to the palace." The queen looked calm.
Rong Fei never thought that the Queen would be so disrespectful to her. She glanced at everyone coldly and said, "Don't bother the Queen's people. I will go back by myself."
Her voice was extremely cold.
She walked to the Queen's side and stopped, "I have something to tell you, Your Majesty. I will keep today's events in mind."
The Queen ignored Rong Fei's provocation and did not take her seriously at all.
Inside the Queen's Palace.
After the queen dismissed everyone, Shen Yuan handed her a letter.
The queen opened the letter with trembling hands, and her eyes were red at the sight of it.
Her hands trembled constantly as her fingertips stroked the words over and over again. "Yes, this is Zhi'er's handwriting."
She didn't care about her manners and stepped forward to grab Shen Yuan's sleeve, "Is Gu Shi Zhi'er really still alive?"
Chen Yuan nodded, "I have already met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is fine, but now is not the time for him to meet His Majesty."
The Queen hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and said, "I know. Look how excited I am that I lost my composure."
Chen Yuan knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty is just missing your son so much, I understand. I hope Your Majesty will cheer up for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The Queen's usual calm demeanor was gone, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She said with certainty, "I will definitely cheer up. No one can take away what belongs to Zhi'er."
Liu Qingqing opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Is this what she should hear?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, he is not missing?
The Queen talked to Shen Yuan for a long time before she looked at Liu Qingqing's face.
The look in his eyes was so kind that it seemed to be overflowing with tears.
She gently waved to Liu, "Good boy, come here and let me take a good look at you."
Before Liu Qingqing could react, the queen grabbed her hands.
The more the queen looked at Liu Qingqing, the more satisfied she became.
Not only did he find his son, he also found a daughter-in-law.
Her gaze slowly shifted to Liu Qingqing's lower abdomen, perhaps she was even pregnant with a grandson.
The queen was radiant and seemed to have become ten years younger in an instant.
Shen Yuan bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty needs to make preparations early. Please take care of the Emperor."
The Queen nodded and looked outside the palace. "Someone, come and help me dress up. I'm going to see the Emperor."
After leaving the palace and returning home, Liu Qingqing was still confused.
She looked at Shen Yuan in confusion, "When did the prince find her sister?"
Li Chi happened to be walking towards this side. Chen Yuan looked at Li Chi and then at Liu Qingqing.
"You should ask Zhinu."
After saying that, she stopped looking at the two of them and just left.
Liu Qingqing looked at Zhinu, and she realized belatedly that the new clothes Zhinu was wearing today were very expensive.
She looked up at Zhinu, coughed lightly, and whispered, "Zhinu, you are still working in the Gu Mansion. Although I am kind-hearted, you still have to follow the rules. Don't wear these clothes that are not suitable for your status."
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Zhinu would misunderstand, so she quietly pulled his sleeve and said, "I like whatever you wear, so there is no need to deliberately dress up."
