In the past few days, the injury on the inside of Su Jingyao's thigh has completely recovered. At this moment, she is concentrating on practicing calligraphy in the study room of Xiyan Palace.
"Master, Aunt Jinhua from the Queen's side is here and is waiting for you in the hall."
Miaoyun hurried into the study, with a hint of worry on her face.
Su Jingyao paused with the pen in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The queen finally found her. If she hadn’t found her, how would she perform in the future?
"Well, let's go."
Su Jingyao calmly put down her pen, slowly stood up, and walked towards the hall at a leisurely pace.
In the hall of Xiyan Palace, Aunt Jinhua stood upright and solemnly in the middle of the hall. When she saw Su Jingyao coming in, she immediately performed a standard salute.
"Your servant greets Concubine Su."
"Aunt, please stand up. I wonder why you came to Xiyan Palace today?"
Su Jingyao was wearing a light pink long dress today, the hem of which elegantly dragged on the ground, her figure was graceful, agile and beautiful.
Aunt Jinhua looked up at Su Jingyao with surprise in her eyes. What a charming and attractive woman! It was a pity that with such beauty, she couldn't capture a man's heart. It was in vain.
Aunt Jinhua's face returned to seriousness.
"Concubine Su, you have been married into the Eastern Palace for ten days. The Queen has some free time today, so she would like to invite you to Kunning Palace for a chat."
"yes."
Su Jingyao responded softly, then followed Aunt Jinhua to Kunning Palace.
In the Kunning Palace, the palace is magnificent and solemn. The empress sits at the top of the hall with a dignified manner and a majestic air without even being angry.
Su Jingyao walked into the hall with light lotus steps. When she reached the center of the hall, she bent her knees slightly, bowed, and had a gentle smile on her face.
She said softly, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."
The queen slowly raised her right hand, picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and gently put the cup down.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced at Su Jingyao in front of her with a cold gaze like lightning, with a hint of majesty in her eyes.
When the Crown Prince chose the daughter of a military commander as his Crown Princess, the Queen was quite dissatisfied.
After all, the Crown Princess not only grew up in the frontier and had no manners, but she also had no children after marriage, and she also asked the Crown Prince not to marry anyone else except her.
But the prince was her only prince, and had been carefully taught by her since childhood. The relationship between mother and son was deep, so naturally there would be no rift between them because of a woman.
Since the prince likes her, there's nothing wrong in marrying her.
Can the Crown Prince really remain chaste for the Crown Princess for his entire life?
The queen knew men and knew the emperor even better, so naturally she didn't believe it.
As the daughter of Shang Shuling, the chief civil official, Su Jingyao had been well-read since childhood and was a gentle and quiet lady from a noble family. The Queen originally wanted her to become the Crown Princess.
At first, I thought I would ask His Majesty to appoint Su Jingyao as the Crown Princess when Su Jingyao was two years older. But I never expected that when the Crown Prince went to the battlefield, he was bewitched by a wild woman.
In order not to affect the mother-son relationship between her and the prince, the queen had to suppress her disgust for the princess.
After all, she has been in the harem for many years and is well aware of the political intrigues involved. She also understands her son well. The more she opposes, the more counterproductive the effect will be. It would be better to wait until the prince's feelings fade.
The Crown Princess had been infertile for two years, which gave the Queen a good reason to personally request His Majesty to grant the marriage.
As the daughter of Shang Shuling, Su Jingyao has been asked about her appearance, talent and character by many noble families since she was ten years old. The Queen is no exception for the sake of the Crown Prince.
The daughter of the Su family grew up in the pampering of her parents and had a simple personality, which made the queen quite satisfied. In addition, Su Jingyao's appearance was really outstanding, which made the queen even more satisfied.
Can a man with a strong mind really be able to focus on a beautiful woman when he meets her?
However, since Su Jingyao married into the Eastern Palace, the Queen had been waiting for a full ten days. Her spies in the Eastern Palace actually reported back that the Prince had never been to Xiyan Palace except for staying there on the first day.
How is this possible!
As the crown prince, if he wants to inherit the throne, he must convince the court officials, and he must have a prince before he ascends the throne.
Without the prince, how can the country be stable? How can the ambitions of other princes be suppressed?
The queen looked at Su Jingyao's face carefully.
Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her lips were red without any makeup. She was even more beautiful than she had imagined.
Even though the queen was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the harem, she couldn't help but be slightly distracted when she saw Su Jingyao.
"Get up! Do you admit your guilt?" The queen's voice was cold, revealing majesty and intimidation, which made people shudder.
Su Jingyao had been performing the half-squatting salute for quite a while, and suddenly she heard the Queen's question, and her heart trembled violently.
Her body trembled slightly and her face showed panic. Although she didn't know what was going on, she was so scared that she quickly knelt down.
"Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty." Her voice trembled slightly.
"Why did you marry into the East Palace?"
The queen looked down at Su Jingyao with a gaze as sharp as an arrow, and her voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.
"My Queen, I entered the Eastern Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and to continue His Royal Highness's heir."
After Su Jingyao finished speaking, she bit her lips tightly and frowned slightly.
These are the words in the imperial edict, but can she tie up the prince and give birth to a child?
Su Jingyao lowered her head, looking pitiful, but she was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes to the sky.
If you have the guts, go find your own son!
"I heard that you have been married into the Eastern Palace for ten days, but the Crown Prince has not yet consummated the marriage with you?"
The queen's words were straightforward and sharp, like a sword piercing Su Jingyao's heart.
