The prince looked down at her hand and said softly, "Does the wound on your hand still hurt?"
"Actually, it only looks scary after a while, and it doesn't hurt that much anymore."
What she said was true. After all, her hand had been treated with medicine, so it didn't hurt much at the moment.
"That's good. You rest here first. I'll go see the Empress Dowager."
"Then my Lord, please talk to the Empress Dowager nicely. She is still ill. The imperial physician said that she should not get too excited." She warned him with some concern.
"I know, don't worry."
Then he stood up and went to his mother.
When Ulanara heard that Honghui came to see Tonggiya first, she immediately felt very uncomfortable.
The first thing her son did when he came was not to see her as his mother, but to go see his wife first. This made her more and more angry. She felt that she did not care about her as his mother at all, but cared more about Tong Jia.
"That vixen Tong Jia has bewitched my son. In the past, whenever I was not feeling well, she would come to see me first. But now, he has really forgotten his mother now that he has a wife." Ulanara sat on the bed and said unhappily.
Nanny Chang was standing by and seeing the stern look on the Empress's face, combined with what she had just said, she knew that she was probably angry again.
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, perhaps the Crown Prince learned that the Crown Princess is pregnant, so he went to visit her. He will definitely come to see you later."
"Oh, his heart has long been set on Tong Jia. I'm afraid he no longer has me, his mother, in his heart."
Otherwise he wouldn't have said that to her yesterday.
If he doesn't want to be the crown prince, then what does he want to do?
He was her only son and her only hope, but she told him that she didn't want to be the crown prince. Could it be that he wanted to give that position to the imperial concubine's sons?
Thinking of this, her head began to ache violently again.
Nanny Chang noticed something was wrong and hurried over, asking worriedly, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Ulanara hit her head with her hands, her face a little painful and she said, "I have a headache."
"The imperial physician just told you yesterday that you shouldn't get too emotional. Why didn't you listen? I'll go get the imperial physician right away."
Ulanara held her hand and shook her head. "What's the point of crying? This headache isn't just temporary. I'll be fine after a while."
She had been troubled by headaches for many years, and no one knew how many times the imperial doctors had examined her. At first, medication and acupuncture could provide some relief, but in the past year or two, those hadn't been very effective.
So what's the point of calling the imperial physician? If the people in the harem see that she has called the imperial physician again, they might think that she is seriously ill and almost dying.
"But you have a headache..." Nanny Chang was still a little worried.
"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while."
When she had almost recovered, Honghui came over.
When she heard that he was coming, Ulanara's face immediately turned stern.
"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Get up. I thought you had forgotten that you had a mother." Ulanara looked at him and said in a flat tone.
As soon as Honghui heard the Empress Dowager's tone, he knew she was angry.
"Is the Empress Dowager feeling better now?" he asked with concern.
"You can't die yet." Ulanara said unhappily.
"Your son knows that the Empress Dowager did not like what he said yesterday. Your son apologizes to the Empress Dowager." If he had not said those words yesterday, perhaps the Empress Dowager would not have fainted from anger.
"Then you know where you went wrong." Ulanara looked at him sideways and said.
Honghui didn't want to deceive his mother, but he was also afraid that if he told the truth, the Empress Dowager would faint again from anger.
So he didn't say anything about this issue.
How could Ulanara not know what his behavior meant, and her anger rose again.
"Get out, think it through, and then come back to pay your respects."
Honghui knew that if he stayed here any longer, the Empress Dowager might really be furious with him.
He said respectfully, "Then Madam, have a good rest. I will be leaving first."
Then he walked out.
When Ulanara saw that he really left like this, she was so angry that she threw the pillow she was leaning on away.
Her eyes blurred and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Nanny Chang was quick to support her, otherwise she would have been injured again.
"Your Majesty..."
"How could I have raised such an unfilial son? I have been planning for him for so many years, but in the end, he treated me like this." Ulanara felt really upset.
He is her son, why doesn't he stand on her side? Does he want to be inferior to others in the future?
Seeing the Empress like this, Nanny Chang felt very sad, but this was a matter between mother and son, so what could she, a servant, say?
——
Wen Mianmian finally had some free time.
I was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely, chatting with Nanny Song and others from time to time. This little life was so beautiful.
Some time ago, Wen Mianmian was not very familiar with the palace affairs, so she was very busy and had no time to rest throughout the day. Now that she is familiar with it, she has much more free time.
"Mother~"
A sweet voice came over.
Wen Mianmian sat up and saw Tiantian running towards her.
"Mother,~"
Tiantian ran to her side. Judging from her appearance, something must have happened. Wen Mianmian could guess without thinking that the purpose of her coming was probably related to Lingye.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Wen Mianmian slowly picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of tea.
Tiantian glanced around and said with a smile, "Mother, how did you know I had something to say?"
Wen Mianmian put down the teacup and gently touched her forehead with his finger. "Count carefully, you have come to me during this period of time. It is not because of something, but because you came to accompany me."
And it would be strange if nothing happened to her.
"Hehe, mom, you really understand me. Let's go inside and talk." Tiantian hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly.
"It seems that I have spoiled you during this period of time." Wen Mianmian said unhappily, but she still sat up from the recliner and walked into the house.
Nanny Song and the others did not follow, but packed up the things here.
The mother and daughter returned to the hall. Wen Mianmian sat on the warm couch, looked at her and said, "Okay, tell me what you want to say."
Tiantian sat next to her mother, hugged her arm, and said impatiently: "Mother, can you tell the emperor about my marriage with Lingye?" After saying this, her cheeks were red and she felt a little embarrassed.
