But what surprised them both was that they actually met Helan Minzhi here.
She explained that she was there to buy clothes, but she didn't need to explain.
In the past three years, Helan Minzhi has had much more free time. Helan Ruizhe never asks where she goes, what she does, and who she goes with.
He gave Helan Minzhi the greatest freedom that belonged to a princess.
"How long have you been coming to her place?"
For some reason, Helan Ruizhe asked about it this time, and his expression was a little serious.
Yu Niang panicked. She must have recognized Helan Ruizhe and hurriedly explained, "This girl just comes to visit me from time to time. She rarely buys clothes, and we are not particularly familiar with each other."
Helan Minzhi wondered why Yu Niang took her off so cleanly, but did not say anything to stop her.
"You better be."
Helan Ruizhe said something rudely and walked out of the Golden Silk House holding Jin Suting's hand.
"What's wrong?"
She was confused the whole time, and she wasn't pretending, she was really confused.
Helan Ruizhe replied: "The lady boss just now is Helan Minzhi's biological mother."
Jin Suting's eyes widened as she turned back to look at the Jinyu Silk sign, which had become very small and far away. "Is it real?"
"Her name is Bai Ruqing, and she was the woman my father kept outside." Although Helan Ruizhe didn't want to mention such an obscure past, he still patiently explained it to Jin Suting.
"Helan Minzhi may not remember, but I met Bai Ruqing when she was sent to the palace."
That winter, the mother and daughter were sent to Fengluan Palace. Bai Ruqing secretly discussed some things with the Queen Mother, and Helan Minzhi just lived in the palace.
Helan Ruizhe had seen Bai Ruqing before, and she looked even more haggard at that time than she is now.
"...Oh." Jin Suting wasn't very interested in these things anymore, but she still listened carefully and expressed her opinion. "Then why do you object to them meeting?"
Helan Ruizhe sighed, "If it were you, would you be happy about the fact that another woman who forced your mother away was with her daughter?"
Jin Suting felt a little confused, but quickly replied: "I don't know, I've forgotten what my mother looks like."
Helan Ruizhe is simply stingy. He just cannot accept Bai Ruqing's existence, but he cannot ignore her existence because she not only drove away his mother, but also drove away Shi Ruwan.
Suddenly he hugged Jin Suting tightly, and she didn't dare to resist. Who knew what Helan Ruizhe would do next.
He rested his chin on her forehead, "Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt again. I will protect you."
He spoke sincerely, and anyone would be moved, but not Jin Suting. She almost suffocated in his arms because he held her too tightly.
So in the end they didn't buy any clothes. Helan Ruizhe promised her that he would ask the Clothing Bureau to customize a few sets of clothes for her to make up for this shortcoming.
Jin Suting agreed. She agreed to everything except going along with Helan Ruizhe. She had no choice but to go along with him because she was in his territory now and had no choice but to obey him.
Concubine Li didn't come to see her again. Jin Suting guessed that she was thinking of how to deal with her. She didn't have time to deal with all this, so it was always better to be careful and take precautions.
However, Jin Xiyan, who was married to Prime Minister Tang's eldest son, asked to see her these two days.
He said that as the only female relative of the Queen's family, he wanted to go to the palace to see the Queen.
Jin Suting naturally agreed, because if she disagreed, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
The news that Jin Suting was crowned queen had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Some people disagreed, while others said that the position of queen originally belonged to her.
The views are basically the same as those of the adults in the court, and the polarization is serious.
But after all, it is His Majesty who is marrying the Queen, and I have no choice but to agree to it no matter how much I disapprove.
When Helan Ruizhe announced the ceremony of the queen's coronation and the whole country celebrated it, and exempted taxes for a year, the people were overjoyed and absolutely supported Jin Suting to be the queen.
So Jin Xiyan, seeing the benefit, decided to come to Pangu, the queen sister.
No matter how much Jin Suting disgusts her, she is still her biological sister.
What's more, Jin Suting has lost her memory now, so she will definitely believe anything she says about their deep sisterly love.
Qin'er brought Jin Xiyan in. She and Jin Suting were called into the palace again since they met in Zuixian Tower. Helan Ruizhe arranged for her to take care of Jin Suting, as well as two other palace maids, Furong and Yueji, and a young eunuch Lincai.
Jin Suting sat on the phoenix chair in Fengluan Hall, which was originally engraved with phoenixes, with Furong and Yueji serving on her left and right.
After Qin'er brought the person in, she returned to Jin Suting. Lin Cai took the initiative to pour tea for Jin Xiyan, as he could not neglect the master's guest.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Jin Xiyan bowed in a very exaggerated manner, and the trivial hairpin on her head swayed so much that it hurt Jin Suting's ears.
"Don't worry, I'm not the queen yet."
Jin Suting maintained her original politeness and made it clear that she was not buying Jin Xiyan's tricks.
"Sister~" Jin Xiyan pinched her throat and said softly, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much~"
Jin Suting: "..."
Jin Suting: "Please sit there. Lincai will pour you some tea."
Jin Xiyan then fell weakly on the chair, blinking her big, watery eyes that she thought looked pitiful, "Sister, don't you miss your sister? Back then, our relationship was so good, so many people envied us~"
After reading this, Tan'er almost spat out of physical discomfort. What a lie they made up. They just took advantage of the young lady's amnesia to do whatever they wanted!
