Chapter 256 Meeting the Stepmother and Exploding 12
Chapter 256 Meeting the “Stepmother” (Update 12)
The Emperor and Queen Atu had a private meeting in Danruo Hall. Jing Jun and Jin Shu also soon arrived at the Changguo Duke's Mansion. Although they were their grandsons and granddaughters, they were also the Crown Prince and Princess of Daxuan. The Duke of Changguo, Wen Qi, had to welcome them in person.
Fuzhong.
I had not seen my grandson and granddaughter for a long time, but when I suddenly saw them today, I made Mrs. Xu burst into tears and said, "Your Highnesses have grown taller again."
Prince Jingjun is young and mature, and is serious about words, but today he looks particularly solemn, while the second princess Jinshu has a droopy pink face, with the word "unhappy" clearly written on her face.
Wen Qi saw the expressions of the two Highnesses and knew it well. After all...the Emperor was going to marry the Twelve Mothers as Queens. Suddenly, there was an additional mother. For the nine-year-old Prince, there was no doubt that
It is an unstable factor, but the second princess Jinshu has a much simpler mind. She just doesn't like the sudden appearance of a stepmother.
Wen Qi sighed, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. This new queen has a gentle and virtuous temperament." But she is also quite decisive and cold.
Jin Shu pouted her lips high and snorted: No matter how gentle and virtuous she is, she is still a stepmother!
Prince Jingjun sighed like a little old man, "My father suddenly issued an edict to establish a queen, which is really disturbing." - Although for this kind of thing, there is no need for his father to inform his son in advance...
However, Jing Jun was still a little disappointed. Didn't his father always have a deep love for his mother? Why did he have to marry again after only three years?
As for the possible threats that his successor may bring in the future, Jing Jun is not in a hurry to worry unfoundedly. He is already the prince and the eldest son, so he has every advantage. If he can be squeezed out by his younger brother in the future, it will be useless for him.
Jin Shu stamped his feet: "Grandpa, grandma, my father obviously asked my brother to come to visit you today, but in fact he asked us both to visit that woman!"
Jingjun didn't say anything, Ma Liu covered her sister's mouth, and then glared at her fiercely, what do you mean by "that woman"? Since the father has issued the imperial edict, over there is our new queen mother!
"Be careful!" Jing Jun warned with a straight face.
"Woo!" Jin Shu, whose mouth was gagged, gave his brother an annoyed look.
Jingjun sighed, why did his father let the two siblings go to meet the new queen when the ceremony of conferring the title of queen has not been held yet?! This is neither in accordance with the rules nor etiquette. I really don’t understand what his father is thinking.
Wen Qi had a strange look on his face: "Your Majesty asked the Crown Prince and the Second Princess to pay homage to...the Queen?"
Jingjun nodded and spread his hands, showing helplessness, "That's not true."
Mrs. Xu frowned and said: "This is not in line with the etiquette! The second princess is just that. His Royal Highness is nine years old!" - As the saying goes, men and women do not sit at the same table at the age of seven, and the twelve mothers are only fifteen years old!
Jingjun said helplessly: "But this is what the father ordered, and children have no choice but to obey." - It would be better to meet him in advance, but he wanted to see what kind of person this "stepmother" was. She could make his father
What the emperor likes so much is probably not a simple thing.
Thinking of this, Jing Jun felt worried in his heart.
Mrs. Xu then said: "Then I will accompany your two highnesses to Danruo Garden - at any rate, the queen respects me."
Jing Jun said: "Of course I have to bother my grandmother to lead the way, but my father also said that I want my sister and I to have a private talk with this 'mother'."
Mrs. Xu was greatly surprised. What did the emperor mean? Not only did he want the nine-year-old prince to meet the queen who had not yet been canonized, but he also had to be alone with her?!
Mrs. Xu took a look at the brocade book of the second princess. Fortunately, they were not alone, and there was still the second princess. Otherwise, she would not have been able to send the prince there anyway.
Jin Shu snorted and muttered: "Who wants to talk to her?!"
Jing Jun looked helpless. His sister was really spoiled by her father. He said sternly: "Second sister, I know you are unhappy. I see this 'mother', so you must restrain yourself!"
Jinshu hummed and said: "I know!" - Ever since my mother passed away, Fanfan has become more and more verbose! You are my brother, not my mother!
But Jinshu also knows that Fanfan's words are for her own good, and she is not a person who doesn't know good from evil.
Mrs. Xu said lovingly: "Princess, don't be afraid. This is the Duke's mansion after all. With my grandmother here, you will never be bullied."
Jin Shu was so moved that he threw himself into Mrs. Xu's arms, "Grandma...why did my father suddenly want to marry his successor? Obviously, he is so affectionate towards his mother."
Jin Shu sniffed, has his father changed his mind?
Jing Jun thought to himself that his father is indeed very strange recently, and many mysteries cannot be solved. Maybe...only by meeting the new queen can he get the answer.
Therefore, Jingjun didn't waste much time and directly asked Mrs. Xu to lead the way to Danruo Garden where the new queen was to be married.
In the Danruo Hall, Wen Xiaotu leaned in the emperor's broad and strong arms and couldn't help but mutter: "Why haven't the porridge and rice come yet?"
Emperor Mingzhao couldn't help but feel jealous, and said, "I must reminisce with Duke Chang and his wife."
Wen Xiaotu sighed: "That's true, after all, in my mother's eyes, her grandson and granddaughter have an extra stepmother!"
As he said this, Wen Xiaotu pouted, she was obviously her mother!
Alas, forget it, she chose not to tell Mrs. Xu, so it is reasonable to be somewhat suspicious and defensive.
Ming Zhao stroked A Tu's forehead and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here. If Jin Shu and Jing Jun dare to deny you, I won't obey you!"
At this time, the eunuch Xiao Yinzi reported from outside the curtain: "Your Majesty, Madam Xu and her two highnesses have come to pay their respects to you."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. My mother is here too?
That's true, how can the old man trust his two grandsons and granddaughters to meet their "stepmother"?
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly pushed the emperor: "Get out of the way first!" - If my mother saw it, there would be no way to explain it.
Ming Zhao's face darkened, "Am I a shameless pretty boy?"
Wen Xiaotu silently cursed: How could there be such an old pretty boy like you? The old pretty boy is just about the same!
"Oh, my good husband, just stay out of the way!" Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to resort to coquettishness.
But Ming Zhao really had to give in to this move. He snorted and hid directly in the blue gauze cupboard in the study where he was taking a nap.
Wen Xiaotu straightened his clothes, fixed his hair and put on a make-up, and said with excitement: "Come in quickly!"
Mrs. Xu, who had been waiting outside for a quarter of an hour, frowned slightly. Jing Jun also looked unhappy. Princess Jinshu pouted her lips and muttered in a low voice: "The canonization ceremony hasn't even happened yet..." and then put up her middle
The Queen Mother's posture is so bad! Huh, this woman is definitely not a good person!
