After several days, the Queen Mother still did not let Shen Han enter the palace. When Shen Han felt that the Queen Mother had forgotten about it, the Queen Mother's decree suddenly came from the palace. Shen Han smiled faintly, took the decree calmly, and turned around. I went into the house and changed my clothes. In the evening, I went to the palace to see the Queen Mother.
Ye Canghao was first called to the Queen Mother's Hall by the Queen Mother. Shen Huan could only take Qingyue and walked slowly on the bluestone road leading to the Queen Mother's Hall. Qingyue looked at the road and the surroundings very carefully, for fear that if Shen Huan was careless, Shen Huan would She was injured. The last time she saw Ye Canghao was angry with Qian Yexue because of Shen Han, the always good-tempered prince did this for Shen Han, which showed how important Shen Han was in the prince's heart.
The imperial palace in the Western Kingdom is not as splendid as the Northern Kingdom, nor is it as exquisite and compact as the palace in the Southern Kingdom. It does not have red walls with gold bricks, nor low walls with ink and wash, but black bricks, black walls, and black columns. Shen Huan only took one look at it, and was stunned. Feeling depressed, he lowered his head and continued walking. Fortunately, the bluestone road was common in the palace. Shen Huan looked more comfortable, but he couldn't walk any faster.
She was still a little nervous when she met the Queen Mother of the Western Kingdom. What's more, she didn't know what had happened in the past few days and whether the Queen Mother had investigated her identity clearly.
The eunuch who was leading the way turned around and smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, the front is the Queen Mother's Hall. It won't take long. The Queen Mother eats fast and chants Buddha's name all the year round. She is the most desirable one."
Shen Huan also smiled at him and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Ye Canghao must have taken care of it before, so this person would be so respectful to him.
Continuing to follow the eunuch with his head lowered, he suddenly heard the eunuch say in surprise: "Oh, Miss Qianye, have you also entered the palace to pay your respects to the Queen Mother?"
Shen Huan looked up and saw Qian Yexue in a red dress glaring at him fiercely!
"Get out of the way!" After calling the eunuch away, Qian Yexue stood in front of Shen Huan and said arrogantly, "Before, I thought you were a village woman from a serious family. It seems that I was mistaken. It turned out that you are the emperor of the Northern Kingdom. My concubine, the princess of the southern country who died!"
Shen Huan frowned slightly. In the past few days, they had indeed found out his identity clearly!
Qian Yexue stared at Shen Huan's belly and sneered: "I don't know who made this belly big! How dare you blame it on my cousin? Let me tell you, my cousin wants to marry me. Don't even think about it. Eat swan meat! You can't be the queen of the North, and you can't be the princess of the South. Now are you desperate? Come to pester my simple cousin. You really have a beautiful idea! My aunt will not let you succeed. !”
Seeing her arrogant and domineering look, Shen Huan suddenly smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm not the one who wants to eat the swan meat. Miss Qianye keeps saying that my cousin is older than my cousin, but your cousin has never looked at you. ?Could it be that some people are being sentimental and self-righteous?"
"You!" Qian Yexue was furious. He jumped up and pointed at her nose and cursed, "You bitch! My eldest cousin is right, you are a goblin and a scourge! It caused Chu Xichen to be thrown into four continents. , Xiao Wumian was made a prisoner by his subordinates, and you still want to harm us in the Western Kingdom, you are really shameless!"
Shen Huan was so angry that the blood in her chest surged up, her eyes turned black, and she said hatefully: "You are talking nonsense! If it weren't for Ye Cangqiong's treachery, how could Xichen have lost four continents! Xiao Wumian was captured all because of you. The Western Kingdom went back on its promise, and the retreating fleet turned back. You are the despicable people!" She took a breath, stared at Qian Yexue and sneered: "Also, I didn't have to marry Ye Canghao originally, today , I will definitely let the Queen Mother help us! Your cousin, don’t have any delusions! He has never had you in his eyes, he likes me, and it has always been me!"
Before she finished speaking, Shen Huan felt a "pop" sound on her face and the burning pain. Qingyue had already screamed. Qian Yexue shouted in a tearful tone: "You vixen! It's all because of your expression." Brother doesn’t like me!”
She was crying and fussing there, and Shen Huan only looked at her with cold eyes, thinking that she, Shen Huan, was someone who was easy to bully after she suffered such a shameful humiliation today. She must return this Qianye Xue in the future!
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind: "You even hit a pregnant woman, Xue'er, aren't you going a little too far?"
Qian Yexue stopped messing around and saw the person behind Shen Huan, who was no longer arrogant, and called out cowardly: "Big cousin..."
Shen Huan didn't need to look back, she knew that Ye Cangqiong was coming.
Ye Cangqiong walked to Shen Huan, took away her hand covering her cheek, looked at it, and asked lukewarmly: "Does it hurt?"
Shen Huan turned away and did not answer.
Ye Cangqiong didn't care about it and just said: "The Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time. Come with me. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting any longer. She will be unhappy." He glared at Qian Yexue, who was frightened. Lower your head, don't dare to follow
Ye Cangqiong brought Shen Huan to the Queen Mother Hall. Ye Cangqiong bowed first and then sat aside. Shen Huan bowed and went to see the elders: "Shen Huan has met the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be safe and happy."
For a long time, no sound was heard, but Shen Huan did not raise his head. After a while, he heard the sound of clothes whirling. It was Ye Canghao pulling the Queen Mother's clothes anxiously, and then Ye Cangqiong coughed lightly.
The Queen Mother then slowly said: "No courtesy", her voice was not old, but had a sense of majesty.
Shen Huan stood up and looked at the Queen Mother with neither humility nor arrogance.
When the Queen Mother saw her looking at her, she didn't dodge and faced her head on. But only for a moment, she suddenly felt that she seemed to be half shorter in front of this woman.
She didn't like this feeling very much. She was the Queen Mother, the most noble woman in the Western Kingdom. There was no reason to be lower than this woman who had lost her country! Although she was once a queen and a princess who died in the South, she was no longer a person. Why should she be inferior? Fear!
"Are you the deposed queen of the North and the princess of the South?" The Queen Mother asked coldly and arrogantly with a hint of scorn in her voice.
Shen Huan replied: "I was the queen of the Northern Kingdom and the princess of the Southern Kingdom."
The Queen Mother snorted softly and asked, "How did you come to my country in the West?"
Before Shen Huan could speak, Ye Canghao rushed to reply: "Oh, Queen Mother, didn't I say that? I was the one who went to bring Ah Huan back."
The Queen Mother glared at him: "I didn't ask you!"
Shen Huan said: "During the melee of the Three Kingdoms, His Royal Highness King Qi sneaked into the Southern Palace, rescued me, and brought me back to the Western Kingdom."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and was about to ask more questions when she heard crying coming from outside. The crying sound came from far away and it turned out to be Qian Yexue. As soon as she came in, she threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms and cried: "Auntie, This goblin bullies me, aunt, please help me punish her!"
The Queen Mother saw her crying so sadly and said in surprise: "How dare she bully you?"
Qianye Xue said: "Yes, aunt, she said that I am a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and she also said that my cousin will not marry her unless she is the one, and she does not care about me at all!"
The Queen Mother was shocked and said: "This is incredible! How bold! How bold! Come here, capture this evildoer! Tie him up, throw him out, and kill him with a stick!"
(ps: Killing with a stick - being tied up with a sack and beaten to death with sticks. This is a criminal law invented by the boss's wife. Any similarity is a coincidence.
I received a notification from the editor tonight that I would add an update, but I was pressed for time and did not save the manuscript. I will continue to do two updates today as usual, and I will decide whether to update three after I ask clearly about the situation. Good night, everyone)
