The queen didn't even know what kind of woman her son married. It seemed that the relationship between mother and son was as bad as the rumors said.
Long Qian blinked, pursed her lips and nodded: "Returning to the queen, I am."
The queen looked at her again and left.
Han Zhixiang was extremely happy when she saw that the queen didn't want to see Long Qian.
If the queen never showed up, she could just please the queen mother, but now that the queen appears, she must behave well.
"Empress, I am Zhixiang, the daughter of Han Shangshu, do you still remember me?"
When the Queen sat down, Han Zhixiang immediately went over and squeezed Chu Xiaozhe away.
The Grand Eunuch announced the start of the banquet, but Han Zhixiang didn't care.
The emperor held such a banquet to allow everyone to communicate more and enhance their relationship.
Han Zhixiang knew that the queen was not favored, but no matter what, the fact that the emperor never deposed the queen showed that the queen still had a pivotal position.
What's more, she is brother Ling's biological mother. No matter how bad their relationship is, they are still mother and son.
"Sorry! I don't have much impression of you." The queen responded lightly, but still took the tea poured by Han Zhixiang.
Han Zhixiang didn't mind and sat down next to the queen.
"Zhixiang also met the Empress when she was very young. It is normal for the Empress not to recognize Zhixiang."
"By the way, when will you return to the cemetery, Queen? If you go back, Zhixiang can take good care of you."
Han Zhixiang's voice was not low, and many people's attention was still on the queen, so many people heard her words about living in the cemetery.
The fact that Han Shangshu's daughter was taken into the palace by King Ling has long been spread in the imperial city.
Now seeing Han Zhixiang talking to the queen like a hostess, some people are curious, some are disdainful, and most people just want to watch a good show.
Han Zhixiang is fawning over the empress, but the real Princess Ling is in a daze, wondering who can stay until the end?
Long Qian was indeed in a daze, she still couldn't accept the fact that the lady was the queen.
Her mother is a queen, that's impossible, right? Then does she have no mother again?
"Eat some grapes." Chu Dongling picked a grape and handed it to Long Qian's lips.
Long Qian opened his mouth slightly and bit into the grape.
Everyone looked at her distracted look and thought she was unhappy because the queen didn't want to see her.
That's right, Princess Ling is just a wild girl, how could the Queen like her?
Prince Ling has a high and powerful position, so he should at least marry a daughter like Han Zhixiang.
Chu Dongling's doting on Long Qian also fell into the eyes of many people.
"Brother Three Emperors, I heard that you have made meritorious deeds again. Come on, let me give you a toast."
As the eldest prince, Chu Lingxu was below Chu Dongling.
The queen's position is closest to the main seat. As the queen's son, Chu Dongling sits below the queen.
Next up are the eldest prince Chu Lingxu and his mother and concubine.
On the other side, the position closest to the emperor is the queen mother. After the queen mother are the second prince Chu Mingye and his mother and concubine.
As a result, Long Qian happened to sit between Chu Dongling and Chu Lingxu.
Chu Lingxu watched every move of Chu Dongling and Long Qian.
He always had a habitual smile on his face, sometimes as gentle as jade, sometimes as feminine and cunning, and no one could see through it.
Chu Dongling glanced at Chu Lingxu and raised his glass symbolically.
The two of them raised their heads at the same time and drank all the wine in their glasses.
Seeing that Han Zhixiang was still trying to please the queen, Chu Lingxu looked at Long Qian again and smiled evilly.
"The Third Emperor's brother is so lucky. Not only did he marry a girl as smart as Qian'er and as beautiful as a fairy, but he also married Han Shangshu's daughter. I admire him!"
