She said, "Mother of the Nation, that's a misunderstanding."
The Queen Mother became excited: "Misunderstanding?" Is there something else being deceived to her?
Jin Suting looked at the Queen Mother's confused look and felt a little flustered, but she continued to speak. She was an honest and good child, but she changed her statement to one that the Queen Mother would be more accepting of: "It's like this, actually, my illness has been cured a long time ago."
The Queen Mother became even more excited: "Okay?" Even if it's okay, how can she stop A Rui from being with her?
"How can it be cured?"
Jin Suting was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Mother of the Nation, don't you wish me well?"
She wanted to bite her tongue the moment she said it. What a random nonsense she said, but judging by the Queen Mother's reaction, she was a little flustered, as if her little thoughts had been exposed. The Queen Mother said: "How could I not want you to be well? I, just... this... isn't it that A Rui likes you, right?"
Jin Suting: “???”
Mother of the Nation, if you put it that way, I really don’t understand what you are trying to say.
So she began to explain: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me."
——
The East Palace at this time.
Shi Qingmiao ran all the way to the East Palace, holding up her purple skirt. Helan Ruizhe was practicing calligraphy in the study, and she was out of breath.
"Hurry, hurry into the palace."
Helan Ruizhe rarely saw her so anxious, so he asked, "What's the hurry?"
Shi Qingmiao said: "Sister, sister has been recruited into the palace by grandma!"
Being summoned to the palace at this critical juncture, Helan Ruizhe secretly thought it was not good, threw down his pen and left.
That posture was even more anxious than Shi Qingmiao's just now!
Yuan Jing saw his master in such a hurry outside the door. Before his back disappeared, he remembered and shouted, "Prince, you didn't take your mask!"
Helan Ruizhe rushed into the palace in a hurry. While riding his horse on the road leading to the palace, he knocked over several carts carrying fruits and wine.
This caused people on the street to curse at each other because no one knew this Crown Prince.
But he only had his beloved girl in his heart. He had witnessed the cruel methods used by the Queen Mother, which even he could hardly bear.
My heart can't stop being panicked.
If something happens to her, what's the point of his existence?
After galloping, we finally arrived at the palace.
He rode his horse directly into the harem. Eunuch Bai was guarding the gate of Fengluan Palace.
Seeing the prince coming, they bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness," and then automatically made way.
Helan Ruizhe pushed open the door and then remembered that he was not wearing a mask. He had forgotten about it in a panic.
But what did he just see?
Grandma seemed to be smiling, and she was smiling very happily.
He put his ear close to the door and heard the sound coming from inside, and he was sure that it was laughter.
And I'm quite happy.
Eunuch Bai was a little puzzled. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came from afar, riding a horse, and was obviously in a hurry, but why didn't he go in? He opened the door and then closed it again.
Although Eunuch Bai was confused, he would not ask his master such an unreasonable question.
Helan Ruizhe felt a little relieved and said to Eunuch Bai, "I'm leaving."
Eunuch Bai: “???”
Leaving now? I really don't understand these masters.
Helan Ruizhe was in a good mood and led the horse to another place. He jumped onto the eaves of Fengluan Palace with one foot, lifted up a piece of thick red and black bricks and tiles, and could clearly see the situation inside.
In the end, he was still worried about Jin Suting being alone with the Queen Mother, because she would never be a match for the Queen Mother.
The roof was very high and I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could only tell from the atmosphere that they were quite harmonious.
After half an hour, Jin Suting said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and walked out of Fengluan Hall and the palace with a light body and relaxed body.
But she didn't notice that there was someone following her, leading a horse.
I haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time!
It turns out that the Queen Mother is also easy to get along with - as long as you don't covet her grandson.
After ensuring that Jin Suting returned safely to the General's Mansion, Helan Ruizhe returned to the East Palace.
——
The reason why the Queen Mother and Jin Suting suddenly got along well was that she explained to the Queen Mother that Helan Ruizhe was actually not interested in her.
Jin Suting went to great lengths to persuade the Queen Mother.
Before Helan Ruizhe arrived at the palace, the conversation between Jin Suting and the Queen Mother was as follows:
"Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me."
"How could what he told me personally be false? He doesn't like you, so much so that he argued with me at the Crown Prince's Concubine Selection Banquet and chose you? He doesn't like you, so much so that he, in front of everyone, oh, abandoned me, his grandmother, to save you from a wolf? He doesn't like you, he's already admitted it to me, and you're still quibbling? Are you questioning me?"
"No, no, Queen Mother, let me analyze it for you: First, I had never met the Crown Prince before the Crown Prince's Concubine Selection Banquet, and he had never met me either, so there's no way there could have been any love at first sight or any of those Mary Sue plotlines. Second, His Royal Highness is a kind and generous person. He was closest to me at the time, and I was his subject, so saving me was his instinctive reaction. Third, I'm venturing to speculate, but it's just a guess. Could it be that the Crown Prince fabricated the lie about his interest in me because he didn't want to get married?"
"It seems that what you said makes some sense."
"That's right, I told you, don't listen to what he says, look at what he does. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really liked me, he would have told me a long time ago!"
"But he didn't say it, so he doesn't like you anymore?"
"That's the correct analysis."
