He nodded slightly without saying a word.
Seeing Murong Xiao looking shy and awkward, the queen became extremely anxious.
She had made trouble with her several times just to protect Murong Xiao's innocence. Now, if Murong Xiao lost her virginity before she even had the chance to say anything, her son would probably never forgive her.
Thinking of this, the Queen stood up from her chair anxiously, walked quickly to Murong Xiao's side, held her hand, and encouraged her, "It's okay, Xiao'er, tell me, did the Crown Prince consummate his marriage with you yesterday?"
"Your Highness was ill last night and has not yet consummated the marriage. Please don't worry, Mother. Xiao'er... Xiao'er will do her best."
Murong Xiao's words instantly put the queen at ease.
Looking at Murong Xiao's seemingly lonely expression, the queen sighed heavily and patted the back of Murong Xiao's hand.
Apart from the fact that this girl was her son's favorite woman, her situation was so similar to hers... Unconsciously, the queen felt as if she had found her true relatives in the palace.
"Xiao'er, tell your mother, do you have a sweetheart?"
Murong Xiao was startled, her expression changing slightly. She immediately knelt down to prove her innocence, saying, "Mother, Xiao'er has no lover! Xiao'er grew up in the villa of the Marshal's Mansion and never left the house. Now that I'm married to the Crown Prince, I belong to him. He's the only one in my heart. Xiao'er will definitely treat His Highness well."
Murong Xiao was telling the truth. She only had the prince in her heart, and she would definitely treat the prince well. Anyone who dared to harm the prince would be her, Murong Xiao's, enemy.
However, the Queen saw Murong Xiao's heartfelt words as just normal self-protection. However, she could sense Murong Xiao's love for Qingyun, although she didn't know where she felt it from.
"Then what is your relationship with Qingyun?"
Although she knew it was inappropriate to let others know her and Qingyun's identities, Murong Xiao was the woman Qingyun loved almost madly, so in a way, she also regarded this woman as her real daughter-in-law.
The loneliness and lack of emotion in the deep palace cannot be described in words. She really needs to find a close person in the palace to vent her emotions.
However, her willingness to talk does not mean that Murong Xiao is willing to listen, nor does it mean that Murong Xiao is willing to chat with her.
Blinking her eyes, Murong Xiao asked doubtfully, "Qingyun? Mother, Xiao'er doesn't know a man named Qingyun. There is a man named Qingyun around Xiao'er, but... but that's Xiao'er's biological brother!"
Seeing Murong Xiao's extreme discomfort when she mentioned Qingyun, the Queen said with a soft smile, "Silly child, your mother is talking about him!"
Murong Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she still tried her best to defend herself, "Mother, you're joking. Qingyun is Xiao'er's biological brother, so how could he be Xiao'er's lover?"
"Xiao'er, don't you understand? Queen Mother knows everything. She knows that you are the Grand Marshal's adopted child, and she also knows about the relationship between you and Qingyun. Now, are you willing to tell Queen Mother about you and Qingyun?"
Seeing the queen's tender eyes almost melting into a bag of water when she mentioned Murong Qingyun, he felt even more sorry for Qian Yeming.
