Chapter 152 It’s time to add a new member to the royal family
Inside the Pepper Room, Queen Qin said calmly when she learned that Concubine Li wanted to see her.
"Let her in."
Concubine Li walked in with her head lowered and her eyes pleasing to the eye.
Although she and Queen Qin were cousins, Queen Qin had been in a high position for many years and her aura was too intimidating. When Concubine Li came in front of her, she became nervous unconsciously, fearing that she would do something wrong and be punished by her cousin.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Queen Qin was too lazy to beat around the bush with her and asked directly, "Why did you come to see me?"
Concubine Li had prepared a lot of polite words, but when she met Queen Qin's cold gaze, she dared not say a word.
She knelt on the ground and said awkwardly, "I have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before and wanted to apologize to him, but he refused to see me. I have no choice but to ask my cousin for help."
"You came to me just for such a small matter?"
Concubine Li felt the sarcasm from the Queen, and said with a stiff upper lip: "I know I shouldn't bother my cousin aunt for such a small matter, but I really... I really have no other choice. I beg my cousin aunt to help me with some advice."
After saying this, she kowtowed respectfully to Queen Qin.
Queen Qin looked at her coldly: "Are you sure you want me to help you?"
Concubine Li kowtowed again: "As long as you can help me and the prince resolve the misunderstanding, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse!"
Queen Qin didn't even have the thought of calling her stupid at this moment, she just said it lightly.
"Go kneel down beside me."
"Yes."
Concubine Li didn't dare to ask more questions and just moved to the side and knelt obediently.
Queen Qin called a young eunuch and asked him to go to the East Palace to invite the prince over.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li was delighted.
Sure enough, it was the right decision for her to come to the Pepper Palace to seek help. As long as Queen Qin took action, the misunderstanding between her and the prince would be resolved immediately!
Luo Qinghan arrived soon.
He walked into the Pepper Room and caught a glimpse of Concubine Li kneeling beside him.
Concubine Li was secretly watching him, and their eyes met.
Concubine Li was originally full of expectations, but when she saw the prince's icy gaze, she suddenly shuddered in her heart.
All her expectations were suddenly gone, leaving only uneasiness.
Luo Qinghan knelt down and saluted: "Your son pays respects to your mother."
Queen Qin motioned for him to sit down and talk.
When he was done, Queen Qin asked calmly, "What did you gain from your trip south this time?"
Luo Qinghan told his experience of going south in detail.
Queen Qin just listened quietly.
When he finished speaking, she neither asked him how he was doing outside nor did she intend to praise him.
Her attitude remained lukewarm.
"You have just taken over the Ministry of Justice, so there are bound to be many things you don't understand. There are several people from the Qin family working in the Ministry of Justice. You can take some time to talk to them."
Luo Qinghan: "I understand."
Based on his understanding of Queen Qin, she should have chased people away after she said these words.
The mother and son never chat about trivial matters. When they meet, they talk about business, and then they go about their own business.
But I didn't expect her to speak again.
"Next month, a banquet will be held at Shanglin Garden. We will invite the noble ladies from all the families in the capital. You should go with me. It is not a good thing for the position of Crown Princess to be vacant. You need someone to help you manage such a large palace. Besides, you are not young anymore. It is time for you to add a child to the royal family. As a crown prince, if you have no children for a long time, it will cause criticism."
