Chapter 346: Never seen such a thick-skinned woman!
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Yue Xi looked at Xiao Qian and said in a cold tone: "Queen, please stop pretending to be stupid, okay?"
"Pretending to be stupid?" Xiao Qian chuckled, "I don't quite understand what the Queen Mother said."
It was obvious that she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Yue Xi by calling herself "my wife" one after another. From Yue Xi's point of view, this was naturally very clear.
Patiently, she continued: "The Queen knows that I am the one who wants to borrow troops from Jin'er, so why do you pretend to be crazy like me?"
"Oh." Xiao Qian deliberately pretended to have a sudden realization and patted her forehead, "I almost forgot that the Queen Mother came to borrow troops from our country to prevent your country from being destroyed and your son to bear the burden of the country's subjugation.
Despite your reputation, Queen Mother, you are truly a good mother!" Xiao Qian said this last sentence very seriously, and the obvious irony in her words made Yue Xi even more angry.
She even doubted whether the Empress Dowager deliberately wanted to humiliate her when she asked her to come to the Empress.
"The Queen is too praised." Yue Xi gritted her teeth and said while holding back the anger that was about to come out.
Xiao Qian looked at Yue Xi's expression, and she felt so happy.
"It's just that since the Queen Mother wants to borrow troops from the Emperor, then she should go to the Emperor. What's the use of asking me? I don't have a single talisman in my hand that can mobilize troops. The military power is all in the hands of the Emperor. Why not the Queen Mother?
Go to the emperor?"
"Jin'er..." Yue Xi frowned, thinking about how to speak, "If I go to Jin'er, he will never agree to borrow troops."
"Really? Does the Queen Mother also feel that she owes our Emperor?" Having said this, Xiao Qian's eyes turned cold and she looked directly at Yue Xi, hoping to find some guilt in her eyes. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
In Yue Xi's eyes, she saw nothing.
"Queen, don't go too far, don't forget, I am your mother-in-law!" Yue Xi's anger finally broke out, but her words clearly had the flavor of self-humiliation.
"Mother-in-law?" Compared to Yue Xi, Xiao Qian seemed much calmer. Her eyes always stayed on Yue Xi's face and she chuckled, "The Queen Mother is indeed humorous. Your son is not the only ten-year-old emperor."
?How has this palace ever had such a little emperor husband?"
