Sheng Nuan always falls into a deep sleep after drinking alcohol, and wakes up feeling refreshed the next morning.
She sat in front of the dressing mirror and let Sophie comb her hair, while she chose the jewelry on the table. She didn't see Sophie's face in the mirror, which was full of sorrow and hesitated to speak.
Sophie is an old man in the palace. Although she has never served the queen before, she knows a lot of palace secrets. She clearly knows how many shocking secrets have happened in the seemingly splendid palace and the high-ranking nobles.
But after thinking about it, the poor maid still didn't dare to say anything, even though she saw clearly last night: the rising Yingxue Highness looked at her queen in the eyes, which was definitely not the way a stepson looked at his stepmother.
Suddenly, the comb in Sophie's hand was taken away. She suddenly came back to her senses and then froze.
Her Highness Yingxue came to her at some point...
When Yingxue raised her eyes to signal, Sophie could only respectfully retreat.
In broad daylight, there were many maids outside the bedroom door, so His Highness would not dare to do anything treacherous.
"How about this?" Sheng Nuan chose the necklace and looked up, only to realize that the person combing her hair had been replaced by Yingxue.
She was slightly startled, then raised her eyebrows: "Why is Your Highness here?"
The young man put down his comb with a gentle look on his face: "The queen mother didn't want to see me, so I came here by myself. The queen mother won't blame me, right?"
Sheng Nuan did not comment: "I don't need Your Highness to serve me here, you can go and do your work."
Yingxue paused, then said: "I'll put on the necklace for my mother and leave, okay?"
Sheng Nuan frowned: "No need."
In the mirror, Yingxue lowered her eyes with a gloomy expression: "Although I don't know why the queen is doing this, I know that you still care about me... If the queen doesn't even agree to this request, then I will live with the queen."
He raised his eyes: "Until the queen mother is willing to treat me like she did before."
Sheng Nuan sighed silently and said in a calm tone: "The past was before, and the present is now. Your Highness should focus more on doing what a prince should do."
Yingxue said seriously: "Okay, help the queen put on the necklace and I will leave immediately, okay?"
The young man's eyes were eager and pitiful. At this moment, Sophie's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Your Majesty, Princess Nina has arrived."
She is the princess of the neighboring Rogge Kingdom, and Sheng Nuan wants to receive her.
But seeing Yingxue refusing to give up until she achieved her goal, she could only say helplessly: "Wear it, hurry up."
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed her thick hair aside.
Yingxue picked up the necklace and gently stretched her hand around her neck... The moment he buttoned the necklace, his Adam's apple moved, and finally couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the white, slender, swan-like neck.
Sheng Nuan was stunned by the soft touch, and her scalp went numb.
She turned around quickly and scolded with a frown: "Yingxue, what are you doing?"
The young man looked at her with dark eyes, paused, and said in a low voice: "You are not a young single aristocratic boy who wants someone to accompany you, are you, Queen Mother?"
Sheng Nuan choked, then said coldly: "So what, I'm already widowed, it's not like I cheated."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Yingxue quietly say: "I can do it too, you don't need to find anyone else."
Sheng Nuan was so shocked... Because she was too shocked and even a little confused, she looked at Yingxue in disbelief: "Your Highness, what crazy talk are you talking about? Have you forgotten who I am?"
But Yingxue's expression was still very indifferent. He just looked at her steadily: "Who are you? Mother?"
Before Sheng Nuan could speak, he smiled half-heartedly: "The queen who is only three years older than me?"
Sheng Nuanwei laughed, but before she could say anything, Yingxue continued: "You are only three years old, and...you and my father have no actual relationship as husband and wife, right?"
The docile and gentle boy in the past seemed to have turned into a sinister and poisonous snake in an instant. He looked at her with very deep eyes and said nothing to startle her.
He said: "It's only three years old...Mother, Duke Nassar's current wife is his nephew's ex-wife, and she once called him uncle. They are sixteen years apart... This is nothing at all."
Sheng Nuan was completely shocked.
She was really too slow, or in other words, she never thought that such a thing would happen.
When she was still feeling ashamed and shameful because of the dream that she couldn't control, the boy who had always been respectful and docile to her was already so bold and arrogant.
Sheng Nuan took a deep breath and forced herself to comfort Yingxue: "Your Highness, you may have made a mistake."
This is the only reason she can think of: "Maybe because you lost your mother too early, my care for you made you feel dependent, but this is different, you..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Yingxue chuckle.
Sheng Nuan frowned: "Why are you laughing?"
Then Yingxue took a step closer to her and whispered: "I laugh at my mother for being so naive."
He said quietly, word by word: "Do you think I treat you as my queen, become dependent on you, and cannot recognize my own feelings?"
Yingxue said: "Don't worry, I know the difference clearly, better than anyone else...Family love will not give birth to desire. Queen, I know what I want."
The young man's eyes were extremely dark, and Sheng Nuan was a little frightened.
As if seeing the shock and astonishment in her eyes, Yingxue blinked and her expression suddenly softened.
He seemed to instantly change back to the respectful and docile young man before, and said softly: "If the queen mother can only accept being my queen mother, I will also play the role of a respectful and respectful crown prince according to your wishes... As long as the queen mother guarantees,
From now on, this palace only belongs to the two of us."
The young man said softly but word by word: "As long as you agree, you can be the master of the Kingdom of Leon forever. I am willing to become your knight and fight for you..."
Sheng Nuan was completely shocked by this young man's thinking. She pointed at the door in confusion: "Get out, get out."
Yingxue glanced at her and bowed her head meekly: "Yes, Queen Mother."
When Yingxue went out, Sheng Nuan sat back on the chair, feeling numb all over.
Why did things suddenly become like this...
On the other side, Yingxue walked along the corridor, her expression icy.
What happened just now was actually a deliberate test by him to test whether the little queen, who was unwilling to be lonely and even willing to summon those young nobles to accompany her, could accept him.
But it turned out that she didn't accept it.
She would rather make fun of those despicable guys than accept him staying with her... just because she is his stepmother in name only.
Thinking of Ivy's shock and rejection just now, a faint light flashed in Yingxue's eyes.
He realized that he was a little impatient... maybe he should continue to hold back, boil the frog in warm water, and slowly let her accept and get used to his existence... until she could no longer refuse him.
In the side hall, the mirror exudes a halo of light.
Mirror God spoke respectfully: "Your Highness, maybe I can help you and make Queen Ivy listen to your words."
Yingxue's face suddenly turned cold: "Don't touch her."
The Mirror God immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, I will always obey your instructions, my noble highness..."
