Chapter 70: The Trashy Queen is really not a good person! Fengyi Palace is not too far from the upper Shu followed Su Lian, the maid sent by the Queen, and after walking for only twenty minutes, they arrived outside Fengyi Palace. With only one word difference, Fengyi Palace looks more than ten times more luxurious and solemn than Fengyang Palace! Yun Shu tightened his fox fur cape and was about to step in. An arm suddenly appeared in front of her. "Your Highness, please wait outside the palace for a moment. Allow me to go in and report first." Yun Shu: “…” In this snowy weather, she can go straight into the house to see her father! The trashy queen is really not a good person! Yun Shu stood outside Fengyi Palace with a feeling of resentment. She lowered her eyes slightly. In order to prevent her emotions from leaking out, she began to empty her mind and counted silently in her heart: "One, two, three... ninety-nine, is the Queen sick?!" She counted to a hundred at a very slow speed, but no one from the Queen's Palace came out to call her in. Yun Shu's forced calmness was instantly broken. OK, OK, you're just trying to show off your power, right? You're looking for trouble, right? It's better not to mess with this crazy woman.
Otherwise, when she returns, she will let the Queen see clearly what it means that a delicate and weak little girl should not be messed with! Gnashing his teeth in displeasure, he turned back and continued counting silently from the beginning. Wait until she counted two more hundred rounds at a very slow speed. Finally, an inconspicuous little palace maid walked out from Fengyi Palace: "Fifth Prince, the Queen invites you in." "..." He followed the little palace maid and finally entered the Queen's Fengyi Palace. The exquisite sandalwood carved door closed behind her, isolating the outside wind and snow, while also adding a disturbing heaviness to the already depressing main hall. Yun Shu calmly raised his eyes to look at the empress who was sitting in the main seat, looking dignified and elegant, and then performed a standard salute that could not be faulted: "Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness." "Get up." The queen looked Yun Shu up and down with an unpleasant look, then she lowered her eyes indifferently, playing with the armor on her little finger, and said nonchalantly: "I heard that you recently invented an item called 'Earth Dragon', which caught the eye of your father, the Emperor, and he even paid you to install one in his palace?" "Replying to the Queen Mother, it is true." Yun Shu folded his hands in front of him and responded honestly, as if he was completely unaware of the Queen's unfriendly attitude. "This is interesting." The queen sneered. Although she said it was interesting, there was no smile in her eyes. "As children, it is natural to respect our parents, but in your case, it has become a business. It seems that without the protection of a powerful mother clan, even a princess would not have an easy life." "..." What on earth does this crazy woman want to say? Yun Shu didn't say a word. Fortunately, the queen didn't want her to respond at this time. She slowly stood up, walked to Yunshu, gently touched a drop of cold water on Yunshu's hairpin, and suddenly spoke in an ambiguous tone: "I remember that you will be reaching the age of marriageable in a little over a year, or less than two years, right? That’s great, I’m going to get married and become a big girl! " She suddenly brought up the topic of whether to get married or not out of the blue. Could it be that this crazy woman was trying to do something to her marriage again? Yun Shu's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he couldn't help but raise his head, and with an innocent and stubborn expression, he corrected her:
"Father promised me the freedom to marry, so I can choose not to marry." "As expected, without mother's guidance, I am ignorant. I am thirteen years old but still act like a child. How can a girl not marry? " The queen chuckled, and the hand that had touched the water droplets slowly moved down, finally landing on Yun Shu's cheek, the action seemed to be caressing. But in reality, it feels like a poisonous snake sliding by, which makes people feel uncomfortable. "Thinking carefully, it is actually because I, as the queen mother, have not done a good enough job and have neglected you over the years. But it's not too late. As long as you are willing, I can fulfill my responsibilities as a mother to you at any time. By then, you will have money, power, even a powerful family, and... a prince brother who is willing to protect you at all times." "..." It turns out that it was to make her the crown prince! After listening for a long time, Yun Shu finally understood the purpose of the Queen's threats and inducements. He understood in his heart - The fact that her father almost allocated her a fiefdom because of the horseshoe incident a few days ago seemed to have attracted the Queen's attention. Even in the eyes of the Queen, as a princess without a powerful maternal family, the threat she could pose to the Crown Prince was minimal. The master of the harem still cautiously decided to eliminate this hidden danger first. But perhaps because she had some skills in inventing printing, horseshoes, and earth dragons, and was relatively favored by Emperor Xuanwu, The Queen's current method is to win her over rather than attack her directly. Unfortunately, she is a timid person and always keeps her distance from the cruel and ruthless crazy critics. Just pretend that I didn't understand the Queen's words that were almost explicit. Yun Shu raised his hand and scratched the cheek that the Queen had just touched, his eyes looking a little confused: "I don't think you have been negligent in any way, mother. You have done a great job. This time when I discovered the earth dragon, didn’t you summon me here immediately to support me? As for the Crown Prince, although I don’t have much contact with him normally, he was quite nice to me during the autumn hunt!” "Are you trying to play dumb in front of me?" Not hearing the answer she wanted, the Queen's expression suddenly darkened. She herself was an expert in palace fighting, so naturally she would not believe that a person who had been unknown for thirteen years and who, upon appearing one day, could immediately gain the emperor's favor in the shortest time, could really be just a naive and almost stupid little princess. Stupid people can't cause so much trouble! Glancing at Yun Shu with a cold look in her eyes, the Queen raised her hand and waved casually. Her trusted maid Sulian came over immediately with 50,000 taels of silver. "These fifty thousand taels should be enough to lay a ground dragon in Fengyi Palace." Originally, he took advantage of Yunshu's earth dragon business to summon people from the upper study room. Regardless, the money has to be paid. Taking the banknotes and stuffing them into Yun Shu's arms, the Queen slowly straightened her clothes, but her tone became increasingly stern as she threatened: “As for what I just said, you can go back and think about it carefully. But it’s best not to think too long, after all, my patience is not very good! "
