Chapter 307 Chaos in the Palace
When she heard that she was going to meet her future mother-in-law, Lin Pianran was still a little nervous.
The hand holding Huo Yuchen quickly tightened.
Huo Yuchen noticed her mood and couldn't help but teasing her softly, "The ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. I've bought you a lot of time, but you can't hide this time..."
"My mother is gentle, dignified, modest, and generous. She already knows that it was you who saved me, my sister, my uncle, and General Bai. She will definitely like you very much..."
"Because you are the savior of so many people, my mother will only pamper you to the utmost and will never give you any trouble."
After saying that, he gently held Lin Pianran's hand, as if to encourage her.
Lin Pianran was comforted by his words.
The two continued walking forward hand in hand.
When the palace maids along the way saw this scene, they all smiled in surprise.
The Crown Prince used to be indifferent, cold, distant, and moody.
Now the faint smile on his face was always there and would not fall off at all.
He looked at the woman beside him, his eyes full of tenderness and affection, as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed like a completely different person, it was hard to believe.
In the past, everyone would unconsciously stay away from him when they saw him, for fear of angering His Highness.
He was always sick and coughing, and it seemed like he would die at any moment.
Now he is refreshed, full of vitality, and looks even more handsome and outstanding.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is very different today!"
"Yes, he's gotten better since he came back from the hunting grounds, but he was always elusive and I never had the chance to see him. Today I finally saw him, and it's just as the rumors say. He's really changed a lot!"
"In the past few years, Empress Wei always had a worried look on her face, worried about the health of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that His Royal Highness is well, the Empress's mood has improved too, and she even smiles more often. From time to time, she rewards the servants of Fengyi Palace. I'm so envious!"
"Well, I also want to go to Fengyi Palace to work. It's better than working in the Imperial Concubine's palace. I heard that the Imperial Concubine's palace would beat and kill the palace maids at any time. It's always a chaotic and noisy place. The people who come in and out the most are the imperial physicians. The Imperial Concubine's itching symptoms have not been relieved until now..."
"That's right. The Imperial Concubine is in pain, so she's naturally in a bad mood. She's always taking it out on people. Yesterday, she even beat to death a young palace maid. She was so young, so pitiful..."
"Oh, don't you know? These past few days, things have been very turbulent in Concubine Zhao's palace. His Royal Highness Prince Gong injured his leg and has a scar on his forehead. Concubine Zhao has been going crazy in the palace every day, constantly cursing the doctor and other such things..."
"The only one who's still feeling proud is Consort Wang Shu. Prince Qi requested a marriage, and the Emperor has already approved it. I just don't know what Prince Qi is thinking. There are so many beautiful noble ladies in the capital. Does he really have to marry Gu Xiangsi, the virgin from the Grand Tutor's Mansion? I really don't understand."
"You don't understand, do you? What man doesn't like beautiful women? It's said that Gu Xiangsi is stunningly beautiful, and since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. That's the reason! Moreover, I heard that Gu Xiangsi is extremely intelligent, has a good family background, and can make money. Maybe she's also very good in bed. These are enough to make His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi fall in love with her."
"That's it, some are happy, some are sad! Some are proud, some are sad!"
......
Although Lin Pianran was not a martial artist, she was nourished by the spiritual spring water every day, so she naturally had sharp ears and eyes. All these words reached her ears.
Huo Yuchen was a martial arts expert, and he heard every word the young palace maids whispered.
However, neither of them cared.
Continue walking towards Fengyi Palace.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of Fengyi Palace and saw an old nanny and several palace maids standing there waiting like they were waiting for something.
When he saw Huo Yuchen and a very beautiful girl coming hand in hand, he immediately guessed the girl's identity.
He quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and to Princess Yuhua..."
"The Queen has been waiting inside for a long time, looking forward to it like the stars and the moon..."
Huo Yuchen smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam Feng, for welcoming us here."
Lin Pianran walked forward and helped the old lady up, smiling and saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
Seeing Lin Pianran's humility and kindness, the old nanny smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
The future Crown Princess is a good person, so the servants are naturally happy about it, and it will save them a lot of trouble to serve her in the future.
Otherwise, if they encounter a tyrannical and unreasonable princess, they will be the ones who suffer the most, and if they are not careful, they may even lose their lives at any time.
Lin Pianran took light steps and followed Huo Yuchen slowly into the magnificent hall of Fengyi Palace.
Inside the hall, a woman sat on a high seat. Her temperament was dignified and elegant, and her every move showed grace and elegance.
Time seems to be particularly kind to her. Not only has it left no traces on her face, but it has added a bit of calmness and grandeur to her. That is the unique charm that comes only after experiencing the vicissitudes of life and experiencing all kinds of life.
Lin Pianran and Huo Yuchen knelt down respectfully and saluted, "Greetings to the Queen Mother (Her Majesty), may Her Majesty live a thousand years."
From the moment Queen Wei saw the two of them walking hand in hand into the palace, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
After the two of them finished their greetings and stood up, Queen Wei waved to Lin Pianran and called softly, "Pianpian, come to your mother."
Lin Pianran let go of Huo Yuchen's hand and turned to look at him.
Huo Yuchen smiled gently, "Go ahead! Mother likes you very much."
Only then did Lin Pianran slowly walk towards Queen Wei.
When Lin Pianran came closer, Queen Wei grabbed Lin Pianran's hand, her face full of joy.
"My dear child, your mother has always wanted to see you, but Chen'er has been hiding her, saying that she was afraid of scaring you. She also said that there are too many people in the harem and it would be a hassle, and she was afraid that you would suffer."
"I've endured this for so long, and he finally decided to bring you to see me."
As he spoke, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and put it directly on Lin Pianran's wrist.
As soon as you see the bracelet’s smooth texture and lush green color, you can tell it’s worth a lot of money.
Lin Pianran was about to decline when Queen Wei spoke again, "It is a gift from an elder, and cannot be declined."
Lin Pianran smiled sweetly and accepted it obediently.
When Queen Wei saw that Lin Pianran was so well-behaved and obedient, she was so pleased that she couldn't stop smiling.
Then she continued, "When I first met you, the Queen Mother prepared some things that girls like for you. The Queen Mother didn't know what you liked, so I followed your sister's suggestion and prepared a lot of different things. You can choose what you like to wear."
"Those you don't like, you can do whatever you want with them."
Lin Pianran had heard long ago that the queen was gentle, virtuous, and extremely tolerant of others. Now when she saw her, she liked her even more.
It is easy to feel the mother's brilliance from Queen Wei, which makes people feel close to her involuntarily.
At this time, a little palace maid came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the wife of the Duke of Song wishes to see you."
Queen Wei frowned slightly, "Why is she here?"
