Chapter 210 The Queen Tastes Tea
"How could that be? I am truly devoted to the prince, as the sun and the moon can attest."
Looking at her swearing and swearing, the queen sneered in her heart without showing any expression.
Such poor acting skills can only fool his stupid son.
"I've seen many women like you who are good at acting and pretending to be pitiful and weak in the palace. I've also seen many women with better acting skills and better looks than you. Song Rouxi, you really think everyone is a fool. Do you think you're the only smart person in the world?
What affection or love? You only care about my son's status and honor."
Song Rouxi's face turned pale instantly after the Queen revealed her chaotic thoughts. She swayed and felt as if she had been slapped hundreds of times in the face. She was so ashamed and angry that she almost wanted to faint immediately.
"Your servant...your servant didn't." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, without a trace of confidence.
The Queen snorted coldly and didn't argue with her. She said bluntly, "Whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter. I asked you to come here today just to tell you."
"Leave the prince."
"Empress..." Song Rouxi's lips trembled, "The Crown Prince and I are in love. Do you really want to break us up?"
"Mutual affection? Song Rouxi, you're still trying to put on a show with me. I'm reminding you that this is a critical time for the Crown Prince. You know, there are countless eyes on him out there, trying to find fault with him so they can exploit it. And you are the biggest flaw."
Didn't Song Rouxi know? She knew, but so what? She couldn't bear to give up the prince.
Seeing that she still looked unmoved, the queen's heart gradually cooled down. As expected, if someone truly loved the prince, they would not disregard etiquette and have an affair with him in private, and have it known by many people.
The emperor recently received news and talked to her privately about the prince's marriage, hinting that he was now undisciplined and that this could not continue.
These words sounded a bit heavy to the Queen's ears.
Saying that the prince is disobedient? That would be like slapping the queen in the face, saying that she is not a good parent.
How could she bear it!
"Since you can't figure it out, just kneel at the door and wait until you figure it out. Otherwise, don't get up." After the queen said this, she stood up leisurely and walked towards the inner room with the support of the nanny beside her.
Song Rouxi understood that the Queen did this on purpose, deliberately making things difficult for her and making her give up, but she had already bet everything on the Prince, and if she gave up now, all her efforts would be in vain.
She couldn't do that. In her dream, she was the mother of the country and the object of envy and jealousy of all women in the world. Everything was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was unrealistic. As the dream deepened, she could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.
Inside the room, the nanny rubbed the queen's shoulders and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, why bother getting angry with that stupid girl? The prince will be angry with you again when he finds out you punished her."
"He's angry with me." The Queen snorted coldly, "The Emperor is already dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's absurd behavior. If I continue to indulge him, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's position will be replaced by Prince Yu, and my throne as Queen will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Imperial Concubine."
As she spoke, she rubbed her forehead wearily.
"Tell me, who does this child resemble? He's so stupid. He was actually fooled by a slightly pretty fool. Does he really think this woman truly loves him? Unlike other women, they are just birds of a feather. She hides it well. Don't think I can't see the ambition and desire in her eyes. I also tested it just now. She is not unaware of the prince's predicament, but she still does this. Is this love?
Hypocrisy!
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to make yourself upset. The prince is still young, and he will surely understand your intentions in the future."
"I hope so."
Finally, Song Rouxi knelt down in the palace and almost got out of the palace, her legs trembling as she slowly dragged them out of the palace alone.
Song Ci from the third room also learned about this through Pei Ji's intelligence.
She raised an eyebrow, "Didn't Song Rouxi cry to the prince?"
"No." Tian'er shook her head. "After she came back, she went to see a doctor and asked for medicine. Then, she used the excuse of having difficulty walking and didn't go out for the past few days."
"She was smart for once."
Wanxiang was puzzled: "Why did the young lady say that? Shouldn't she tell the prince and win his pity?"
"You're so stupid." Song Ci put down the book in her hand and explained to her carefully, "The relationship between the Crown Prince and her is already tense. If she complains again, the Crown Prince will definitely go to the palace to argue with the Queen. If she angers the Queen again, the Queen will definitely use thundering means to separate the two. Besides, she still holds on to the hope of becoming the Crown Princess, so naturally she doesn't want to offend the Queen to death."
Song Rouxi will not give up until she sees the Yellow River.
"So that's how it is. She really is...stubborn."
"Stubborn? She's just stubborn about her own honor, glory and wealth."
What did Song Rouxi love most in her life? It was nothing more than rare things. The more unattainable, the rarer, the more she liked them. For example, being the crown prince, the position of crown princess, the dignity and prestige of being the mother of the country.
With these radishes in front of her, Song Rouxi, like a donkey, will never stop until she dies.
It would probably be difficult to make her give up.
As for the Marquis of Bourne's Mansion, when they learned that it was Wen Shengcai who secretly told others about their and the Song family's plan, they immediately sent several fat servants to capture him. However, when they arrived, the Wen family had already left.
Wen Shengcai even took the one hundred taels of silver given by Song Ci and went somewhere else.
He was an average student and that was how his life would be. It was already difficult to stay in Beijing, so it would be better to change places and start over.
He was also a bachelor. After agreeing to do the thing for Song Ci, he quickly finished the job and left without leaving any evidence.
The Marquis of Bourne's Mansion came back empty-handed and could only return angrily.
For this reason, the old marquis of Bern's mansion broke several porcelain bowls.
The Marquis of Bourne's Mansion, which was originally quite quiet, was now in turmoil all day long. Sometimes there was the sound of the young lady crying and smashing things, and sometimes there was the sound of the old marquis sighing and smashing things.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were also extremely low-key in their work, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground while doing their work, and everyone was in danger.
Song Rouxi's reputation was extremely bad for a while. In addition, she was called to the palace by the Queen and looked so embarrassed when she came out. Many people who had been suspicious of her no longer had any doubts.
Those who had been in contact with her in the past all cut off contact with her, and even when they held poetry gatherings or banquets, they no longer invited her.
Song Rouxi didn't care. She hated them in her heart, but it was useless. Once she took the position of Crown Princess, these people would come to curry favor with her sooner or later. She was waiting for that day to come.
