The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest
Chapter 21 A battle of wits
The queen was drinking tea in her bedroom after dressing up. Under normal circumstances, if she was left alone for such a long time, she would have made a fuss and burst into the room.
In addition, now that the King of Qi is gone, she doesn't believe that Jiang Qingyu is not anxious, so she looks at Dong An and asks.
"How's it going? Have you started to make a fuss after being left out for so long?"
The chief maid Dong An didn't know how to answer, "This~"
Looking at Dong An who was hesitating, was it because the noise was too loud? But she didn't hear any sound.
Then he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say? Did she demolish Fengyi Palace?"
If Jiang Qingyu really did this, she would only feel happy.
Dong An answered with some fear, fearing that he would disappoint the Queen.
"Your Majesty, no, the Princess of Qi is eating snacks and drinking tea in the outer hall. She looks very happy."
"Humph, I underestimated her. She is more patient now than before. Let's go, it's time for us to go meet our Princess Qi."
After saying that, Dong An stood up from the chair and helped the queen to the outer hall.
"The Queen has arrived"
Jiang Qingyu, who was eating happily, heard that the Queen was coming. She quickly stood up, patted the snacks in her hands and saluted the Queen.
"The daughter-in-law has met the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness."
The queen walked past her, sat on the chair, and then raised her hand to signal Jiang Qingyu to get up.
"Get up, didn't I tell you that Yu'er doesn't have to perform formalities when she sees me? Why do you feel so distant after not seeing me for a few days?"
Jiang Qingyu stood up and said to the queen with a smile,
"To answer mother, Yu'er was ignorant before, and mother was generous enough not to treat her like a daughter-in-law. Now that Yu'er is married, she should be sensible and stop making trouble like before."
The queen looked at Jiang Qingyu from head to toe in confusion, and found that she was indeed different.
Her makeup is no longer as heavy as before, her clothes and accessories are very decent, and her manners are graceful and elegant.
"Well, come and sit down. Feel free to be at your disposal here with your mother. By the way, where is the King of Qi? Why didn't he come with us?
Alas, he is the emperor’s favorite son, and I am not his biological mother. If he doesn’t want to come, he doesn’t have to come, and I can’t say anything.
You said that he doesn't even take me seriously now. If you are wronged in the future, how can I help you? "
In fact, the Queen knew very well why the King of Qi did not come. The news came in as soon as the palace gate opened.
I'm afraid she knew about this matter before the emperor, because she spent a lot of money to plant spies in the Prince of Qi's palace.
As the queen spoke, she became more sad, so Jiang Qingyu had no choice but to continue talking along with her.
"Yes, mother, the King of Qi has gone too far. Not only did he not enter the bridal chamber, but he also disappeared early the next morning.
My father said that he sent Prince Qi to the border on an urgent mission. I think it was all a lie. He specifically went to spend the night with that little bitch.
Humph, when I find out which little bitch seduced the King of Qi, I will cut her into pieces."
Jiang Qingyu became more excited as she spoke. After listening to Jiang Qingyu's words, the Queen dispelled some of her doubts about Jiang Qingyu.
He says he's sensible now, but that's all. After pretending for a while his true nature is exposed.
But what happened to the King of Qi? We only received news that he could not be found early in the morning, but it did not say when he disappeared.
The wedding went to the border without even entering the bridal chamber. I haven't heard of any emergency situation at the border. What is the old emperor planning?
No, Jiang Qingyu will leave soon, so tell my father and brother and ask them to find out the news.
If the old emperor handed over all the border troops to Xiao Jingyu, her son would lose even more chance of winning.
The Queen now only wanted to figure out what was going on with the King of Qi, and she had no time to deal with Jiang Qingyu, so she signaled to Dong An.
"Dong'an, it's getting late now. Hurry up and have Princess Qi serve tea and then go back home to rest."
Dong'an retreated and went to the side hall to prepare tea.
The Queen and Jiang Qingyu were talking in the room.
"Yu'er, you are married to the King of Qi. Although the King of Qi is not my son, we are still a family.
If the King of Qi bullies you in the future, you don’t have to endure it. If something happens, just come to the Queen Mother. I believe the King of Qi will give the Queen Mother some face.”
Jiang Qingyu thought to herself, "Just now you said that the King of Qi didn't take you seriously, but now he is giving you some face.
Haha, I'm afraid if something really happens, you'll have to hide away with a headache like you did yesterday."
Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to deal with it on the surface, "Thank you, mother. Yu'er knows about it. I'm afraid I will have to trouble you more.
Yesterday, the maid from the Queen Mother's palace who came to give her gifts said that you had a headache. Are you feeling better today?"
The queen pretended to rub her head and said, "My mother's health is not good. I didn't go to your wedding with the King of Qi yesterday.
I've been taking medicine for a day and I feel much better today. It's a pity that you still care about me. I wish Lin'er could be as considerate as you."
"What are you saying, mother? The Ninth Princess is a daughter of gold. How can my daughter-in-law compare with her?"
As soon as Jiang Qingyu finished speaking, Dong An walked in with a palace maid carrying tea.
"Your Majesty, Princess Qi, the tea is ready, you can start serving it."
The queen had something else on her mind and just wanted to get rid of Jiang Qingyu as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's get started."
Jiang Qingyu stood up from the chair and knelt down. The little palace maid brought tea to her and she took the tea from the tray.
Lower your head and hold the tea above your head with both hands.
"The daughter-in-law offers tea to the Queen Mother. Please drink some tea, Queen Mother."
Dong An took the tea from Jiang Qingyu and passed it to the Queen. The Queen took the tea and took a sip.
"Dong'an, go get the pair of bracelets that the emperor gave me when I first entered the palace, and give them to Princess Qi."
Dong An hesitated, "Really, Madam? That's your favorite bracelet."
"Go when I tell you to. Why would I be reluctant to give it to Yu'er?"
Seeing that the queen insisted, Dong An had no choice but to go and get it, "Yes, your majesty, I will go right away."
As Dong An turned around, the Queen's voice came from behind him, "By the way, I put the bracelet on the second layer on the far left of the dressing table. Don't take the wrong one."
Dong An was a little confused. How come she remembered that the pair of bracelets were on the fourth layer in the middle?
Did the Queen change places? Because Jiang Qingyu was here, she couldn't ask directly, so she had to go and get it as the Queen said.
After a while, Dong An came back with a sandalwood box in his hand and handed it to Jiang Qingyu.
Jiang Qingyu opened it and took a look. The quality of it was average. It didn't look like it was made by the emperor. The workmanship was not as exquisite as the sandalwood box that contained it.
I’m afraid this wasn’t a gift from the emperor. She thought she was as easy to fool as the original “Jiang Qingyu”.
"Thank you, mother, for the gift. This gift is too valuable. Although it looks ordinary, it is a gift from my father after all. I cannot accept it."
These words really slapped the queen in the face. The emperor gave her a bracelet of such ordinary quality.
All that can be said is that the emperor did not value her as the queen. If she said that it was not given by the emperor but was said to be so precious, then she was being deceived.
