Chapter 672: The Thoughts of the Imperial Clan

It should be noted that the Queen Mother has been a serious and upright person since she became the Queen. Because she has no children, she treats all the princes equally and only maintains face.

Even though she later strongly supported the current emperor's ascension to the throne, it was more like a collaboration than a mother-son relationship.

Therefore, the clan members have always felt that the Queen Mother does not like children.

But now it seems that it is different from what they thought?

For a moment, some people were dissatisfied, while others became more active.

The Queen Mother likes children, and they have one at home. Why bother to spoil a child who has nothing to do with the Helian family's bloodline? They can send their own child to the palace.

From three to thirteen years old, she can choose whatever she wants.

If their child is raised in the palace, there will be many benefits, not to mention other things. Even if the emperor does not like the child, he will definitely take good care of the child and even the clan members behind the child for the sake of the empress dowager.

This is simply a win-win situation!

There is another more hidden thought, that is, the emperor has no children so far. Although he now favors Concubine Lang, it is said that Concubine Lang suffered a tragedy when she was outside the palace and can no longer give birth.

If the emperor has no children in the future, he will definitely adopt a child from among his relatives and send the child to the palace to be raised. The emperor will look at the child every day and will always have deeper feelings for the child than for other children. If he wants to choose a adopted son in the future, he will naturally give priority to the one in front of him.

Thinking of this, some clan members started to get excited. They decided to ask their wives to come to the palace to pay their respects tomorrow, and they must bring their cutest children with them, as they would definitely be better than that chubby girl who only knew how to eat.

"Oh……"

Si Linglong was just drinking her second glass of fruit drink when she heard a low sneer coming from the side. She turned around and saw the mocking smile on A Yue's face.

Si Linglong glanced at her hand being quietly pulled under the table, then looked at Ah Yue's gaze, as if she understood something.

【Ayue, did you hear something? 】

Si Linglong asked him in her heart.

Helian Yue looked at her, and gently squeezed her palm with his hand under the table. He pursed his thin lips and smiled, "I heard some jokes, and I'll tell you when I get back."

He just deliberately spread the news that Linglong couldn't get pregnant, but these people even thought of a stepson for him. They were really proactive.

Feng's eyes swept over the Queen Mother on the other side. Although she looked dignified and solemn, she was obviously taking good care of Xue Sha beside her. Suddenly, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

He had long known that the Queen Mother treated Xue Sha differently, but he knew even more clearly that the Queen Mother was not the type who liked to show off in front of others. Today, in front of so many royal relatives, she kept Xue Sha alone by her side. Helian Yue vaguely understood the Queen Mother's plan.

He did not forget why he had invited the Empress Dowager back to Beijing.

Abolish the royal family.

This is not an easy task.

He had not forgotten, and the Queen Mother certainly had not forgotten either.

…

Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere in the hall was much more lively than at the beginning, and no unexpected incidents occurred as before. While Helian Yue was dealing with the clan members, he would occasionally use Linglong to listen to what was in their hearts.

Amid the harmony of the Zhengyi sect, Bai Qianqian suddenly turned over and coughed a few times, then stood up with an apologetic look on her face, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I feel a little unwell and would like to go downstairs to rest for a while."

Helian Yue caught a glimpse of Helian Tuo who had disappeared without a trace. He felt cold in his heart but said calmly, "Go ahead."

I don't even want to show my polite concern for you.

Bai Qianqian's mind was elsewhere at the moment, and she didn't care whether Helian Yue cared or not.

He apologized to the Queen Mother again, and then slowly left the table, helped by the palace maids.

Si Linglong watched the person leave and almost immediately grabbed Helian Yue's sleeve under the table. Her face, with a flushed look, looked unusually energetic.

[I bet one hundred taels that she will definitely go find Helian Tuo!]

Helian Yue glanced at her and wondered if this person was addicted to gambling.

"No bet."

It was a done deal that Bai Qianqian would take advantage of the palace banquet to meet Helian Tuo in secret, and he would not bet against her.

Si Linglong was not discouraged by being rejected. She still pulled his sleeve with an excited look on her face.

【Let’s go take a peek. 】

Helian Yue: ...

She really has the idea of ​​letting him spy on his concubine and his cousin having an affair!

There was no fear that he would act on impulse and kill the couple on the spot.
