Yingxue's previous unforeseen behavior made Sheng Nuan feel dizzy, and she didn't even have the heart to entertain Princess Nina who came from afar.
But a few days later, when Yingxue came to pay her respects, he seemed to have returned to the stepson who was respectful and docile to her before, without any transgression.
As if what happened that day was just a dream...
He even apologized to her in a soft voice, saying that he was so angry that day because of her alienation and rejection.
He begged: "Queen mother, don't be angry with me, okay?"
But even though everything seemed to be back to normal, Sheng Nuan didn't dare to relax at all, because she clearly saw the almost pathological stubbornness in Yingxue's eyes that day.
She worried that he was not repenting, but dormant.
Princess Nina is here for a visit in name, but actually she is here for a blind date. Because of the battle with the Kingdom of Fabia, Yingxue has become a well-known brave and strategic crown prince in several countries.
A young crown prince defeated the Kingdom of Fabia, which had been strong for several years, in one battle, and completely stopped. Many kingdoms wanted to marry the Kingdom of Leon.
Princess Nina herself was obviously very satisfied after meeting Yingxue. She asked Yingxue to have dinner and take a walk with her several times, but she was always rejected by Yingxue.
Therefore, when Yingxue prepared delicious food in the palace garden and invited Sheng Nuan to join her, she came up with an idea: let Princess Nina go to the appointment.
Give Princess Nina a chance, and similarly give Yingxue a chance to meet girls of the same age. Maybe, he can figure out some things.
Yingxue tried many times and finally made the cherry cake by himself, because he heard that Queen Ivy likes to eat cakes, and she likes to eat cherry cakes even more.
Except for the cherry cake, the food on the table all had Ivy's favorite flavors that he found out. After preparing everything, he sat there and waited with great anticipation.
Even if he had to hypocritically call her mother and keep a distance from her, as long as she could not get close to others and there were only two of them in this palace, then he could endure it and allow her to deceive herself.
The next moment, footsteps sounded from behind the flowers.
Yingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, she straightened her back unconsciously, and looked to the opposite side expectantly... But then, he saw another unfamiliar face.
Princess Nina blushed a little and whispered: "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen is not feeling well and cannot attend the appointment. Please ask me to tell you."
Yingxue's face instantly turned cold and expressionless: "Who are you?"
Princess Nina said softly: "I am Nina."
Yingxue understood something almost immediately.
He realized that he might not have gained her trust by pretending that nothing happened these past few days and acting as a docile stepson in front of the little queen.
She is still rejecting him, and wants to send another woman to him...
Maybe, he thought wrongly.
He shouldn't be so gentle and gentle to her that she thinks she can easily push him to someone else.
Yingxue turned around expressionlessly and walked directly in the direction of the Queen's Palace...
In the palace, Sheng Nuan was talking to Snow.
She was too big-headed and couldn't help but sigh: "The thoughts of you young people are really puzzling sometimes."
Snow's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly panicked.
He looked at the queen in front of him and asked carefully: "Why do you say that?"
Did she notice something?
Snow stuttered a little: "Sometimes, maybe it's not our fault. You have to know that people sometimes can't control themselves."
Sheng Nuan was speechless: "That can't be treasonous!"
Snow fell to his knees on the ground.
It's over, she must have known.
The young man's nervous lips were trembling, but at the same time, there was some strange relief in his heart. He gave up completely and decided not to hide it anymore: "I'm sorry, queen, it's my fault!"
Sheng Nuan suddenly came back to her senses and was stunned when she saw Snow kneeling on the ground: "What are you doing?"
Snow pursed her lips: "Please forgive me. It's all my fault. It's my fault. You should blame me."
Sheng Nuan couldn't laugh or cry: "What do I blame you for?"
Snow was stunned and his eyes lit up instantly. He suddenly raised his head and asked in disbelief: "Don't you blame me?"
Sheng Nuan was dumbfounded by this young man: "I was just talking casually, what do you blame me for?"
At this moment, Snow's heart was beating violently, and his whole body was overwhelmed with joy.
Queen Ivy knew what he was thinking, but she didn't blame him. So, did she acquiesce?
"Your Majesty the Queen!"
Snow took a step forward and grabbed Sheng Nuan's hand: "I'm so happy, Your Majesty the Queen, I..."
"Snow!"
A cold voice interrupted Snow, who quickly retracted his hand, and then saw Yingxue walking towards her expressionlessly.
Yingxue said: "You go down, I have something to tell my mother."
Snow's lips moved, a little reluctant, but he was afraid that Yingxue would see something, so he could only look at the queen subconsciously: "Your Majesty the Queen?"
Sheng Nuan saw Yingxue's calm but cold eyes, and was afraid that he would say something shocking in front of Snow, so she waved her hand: "Snow, go back."
Snow stood up and looked at her without blinking: "Yes, Your Majesty."
When Snow disappeared, Sheng Nuan turned around and looked at Yingxue.
He must have arrived not long after Princess Nina passed by. It can be seen that he rejected the princess again.
She sighed helplessly: "What's wrong?"
Yingxue whispered: "What are you doing, Queen Mother? I just want to have a meal with you. What do you mean by giving someone else to me?"
Sheng Nuan smiled: "It is my duty to arrange the marriage for the crown prince, is your highness blaming me?"
Yingxue looked at her quietly: "I don't want her."
"sure."
Sheng Nuan said calmly: "Princesses from neighboring countries, noble ladies from the royal city, please tell me whoever your Highness likes, or it would be good to go out more when you have time and get to know more people."
Yingxue took a step forward and said quietly: "Is the Queen so impatient to push me out? Why, did I disturb the Queen from kissing me with others?"
Sheng Nuan frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Yingxue smiled: "Isn't it true? The queen lets me go, but here she is flirting with Snow. Doesn't she want to make him a guest?"
The young man's eyes became cold: "I think, if the Queen Mother nods, Snow would like to strip herself naked and send her to your bed right away..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a slap, and Yingxue was slapped and turned her head away.
Sheng Nuan was so angry that she took a few deep breaths to hold it back, and then sneered: "Your Highness, you'd better make it clear that no matter who is sent to my bed, it has nothing to do with you."
Opposite me, Yingxue raised her hand to wipe away a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth and spoke in a low voice.
"Mother, you may be the one who didn't figure it out... Of course this has something to do with me."
The young man looked at her quietly: "I won't let any unscrupulous person appear in front of you again... I promise."
After saying that, he looked deeply at Sheng Nuan, turned around and left...
