"Hiss..." As soon as she stood up, Little Xingxing's body swayed. As soon as she staggered out of Kunning Palace, she saw Su Xin waiting anxiously outside. Seeing her, Su Xin ran over quickly.
"Princess, how are you?"
Little Xingxing pursed her lips, "Aunt Suxin, my legs hurt..." "Can you walk?"
"able."
Su Xin supported her and walked in the direction of Cining Palace. Little Xingxing discovered a problem, "Auntie, you don't seem to be surprised at all that I was punished by the Queen."
"What kind of queen? The princess should call the queen mother queen."
"..." Little Xingxing curled her lips.
"You."
Su Xin couldn't do anything to her, so she lowered her voice and said to her, "I know you are angry, so let's do it in front of my aunt, but you must not do it in front of others, otherwise it will be an excuse if others hear it and spread it out.
When the time comes, it will do you no good to have an unfilial hat on your head."
"I know, isn't this just the case in front of Aunt Suxin?"
Su Xin then answered what she had just said, "The Queen Mother knew that the Queen summoned you, so she was worried so she asked people to go to Kunning Palace to find out the news. When you were just punished by the Queen, the Queen Mother knew about it."
"ah?"
Little Xingxing was a little surprised.
Considering the Queen Mother's concern for her and knowing that she had been punished, she did not come to save her on the spot. Su Xin seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said softly, "How do you think the prince knew that the princess was not punished?"
Little Xingxing was stunned, "Grandma told Chu Mohan?"
"Exactly."
"..." Little Xingxing silently gave the Queen Mother a thumbs up in her heart.
High.
If the grandmother came forward in person, she would inevitably have to confront the queen, but it was different when Chu Mohan came forward. The queen and the queen were mother and son, so even if the queen wanted to prevent the grandmother from tormenting Chu Mohan anymore, she would not embarrass her again.
She just said it.
How could Chu Mohan plead for her? It would be nice if she was punished and he didn't add insult to injury.
It turns out it was my grandmother who put the pressure on me.
The two returned to Cining Palace. Little Xingxing was sweating all over. When they entered the inner room, the coolness in the room hit their faces. Little Xingxing took a deep breath, and then she felt like she was alive.
"Xing'er."
"Grandma."
The Queen Mother looked at her flushed face and the clothes that were stuck to her body due to sweat, and took a breath, "Su Xin, let someone prepare water for Xing'er to prepare for a bath. Xing'er, come and sit down."
Su Xin went to order the palace maid, and Little Xingxing also sat obediently on the embroidery stool next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was supported by the palace maid, squatting in front of Little Xingxing and lifting up her skirt.
Little Xing'er's legs shrank, "Grandma, Xing'er is fine, please stop looking."
"do not move."
"..." The Queen Mother forcefully lifted up the hem of her skirt, lifted up her trouser legs, and rolled them up above her knees. Seeing her black and blue knees, the Queen Mother's eyes darkened.
"Grandma..." "Are you stupid?"
The Queen Mother asked the palace maid to wrap ice in a cloth and apply it on her knees, "In order to reconcile, you are forcing my grandmother like this."
It's been seen... she is indeed a queen mother who has assisted two emperors.
Little Xingxing did not argue and whispered, "If Xing'er is not like this, grandma would not know Xing'er's determination to reconcile."
The Queen Mother took the opportunity to teach her, "Xing'er, anytime you want to achieve your goal, you can't do it at the expense of hurting yourself."
"..." She didn't want to do this either.
But doesn't she have no capital now? In this era of supremacy of power, she has to fight with the most powerful woman, the Queen. Unless she has the power to be feared, otherwise all cleverness will be a paper tiger in the face of absolute strength.
She could only take advantage of the Queen Mother's influence first.
Little Xingxing lowered her head obediently, "Grandma, Xing'er remembers it."
The Queen Mother felt distressed and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. When she saw the mole between her eyebrows, she rubbed the handkerchief between her eyebrows without rubbing it off. The Queen Mother's hands trembled violently.
"Grandma?"
"fine."
The Queen Mother hid her trembling fingertips in her sleeves and smiled lovingly at her, "Look at you, you are covered in stinky sweat. Go back to your room to take a shower and change clothes. Grandma will have enough ice axes put in your room for you to feel comfortable."
Have a comfortable sleep."
"good."
"Go ahead."
After Little Xingxing walked out of the inner room, the strength of the Queen Mother seemed to have been drained from her whole body, and she collapsed on the soft couch. Su Xin came back and was shocked, "Queen Mother, are you okay?"
"..." The Queen Mother looked pale and closed her eyes, "Su Xin, do you think Xing'er is... a little different from before?"
"The princess has been through the incident, and she seems to be braver and more independent than before. This is a good thing.
Just look at the prince and you will know how much he hated the princess before they got married. When he heard the name of the princess, he hid far away, as if he was afraid that the princess would entangle him.
Look now, the princess took the initiative to propose peace and divorce, but the prince disagreed.
I think the prince himself didn’t even know that his attitude towards the princess had changed.”
The Queen Mother murmured, "Is Xing'er better now?"
Su Xin thought about it for a while before saying, "I can't say it's better, but... wherever there are people, there will be disputes. In the past, the princess was protected too well by you, and she didn't know that people's hearts are evil.
She is young and mature, and will not show off to people she doesn't like, but she will put her softest side in front of those she likes.
I can’t say it’s bad to be so arrogant and naive, but I’m just too easily hurt.”
"……"But.
Her Xing'er had only been married for a short time, so how could she have undergone such earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time?
The Queen Mother smiled, but it was uglier than crying.
Su Xin thought she had said the wrong thing and was a little uneasy.
"The Queen Mother..." The Queen Mother leaned on the soft couch, "Su Xin, do you still remember that the Imperial Master gave Xing'er a fortune-telling before his death?"
Su Xin's face turned pale.
"Queen Mother."
"The Imperial Master said that when Xing'er turns eighteen, there will be a life-and-death disaster. This year... Xing'er happens to be eighteen."
Su Xin's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she quickly comforted her, "Queen Mother, it's not possible. With you protecting the princess, who would dare to hurt her?"
If you really want the princess to be well, take care of yourself. You are the Queen Mother, the most noble person in the world. With your protection, the princess will definitely be safe."
"..." The Queen Mother smiled bitterly.
In fact, the calamity of life and death is only the first half of the sentence. Before the death of the Imperial Master, he had given her a message, saying that after Xing'er experienced the calamity of life and death, she would become a different person and her temperament would change drastically. Because of her, she would change the fate of many people.
The words of the National Master are never wrong.
In the past two years, as Xing'er grew older, she was worried every day, but nothing happened. She thought the matter was over, but now... the Queen Mother breathed out, "Let Lu'er come in, sorry.
Ask her if you have anything to say at home."
"yes!"
Just as Su Xin was about to call Lu'er, a palace maid came in to report.
"Queen Mother, Prince Jing would like to see you."
