Chapter 23 Kill the Emperor and Become the Queen Mother (23)

When Nan Yue returned to Fengyi Palace, Xiao Yanzhi had just returned from Jingning Residence after packing up his things...

A young eunuch with a pretty face followed behind him. When he saw her, he immediately knelt down and bowed, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

Xiao Yanzhi whispered to her, "Madam, this is Lin Fu. He has been taking care of Yanzhi since her biological mother passed away."

He paused and said, "Yanzhi had just arrived at Fengyi Palace and was a little uncomfortable, so Yanzhi took the courage to bring him here."

Nan Yue hummed, "Nothing."

Just bring them. Fengyi Palace is not unable to afford palace maids. It’s okay for him to bring all the palace maids with him.

Lin Fu's face was a little excited. "The Second Prince said that the Queen has a kind heart early in the morning. He mentioned it many times in front of me. Today, I finally saw it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being willing to raise the Second Prince!" Lin Fu kowtowed heavily, with such force that a large patch of his forehead instantly turned red.

Nan Yue raised her eyebrows. What was going on?

He raised his head, with some tears in his eyes, "A few days ago, the second prince told his slaves that he envied the fifth prince, that he could win the favor of the empress..."

Xiao Yanzhi's expression changed slightly, and he lightly rebuked: "Lin Fu, don't talk nonsense in front of the queen."

It’s too early!

Lin Fu's tears fell, and he continued: "Master, even if you don't let me say it, I will say it. Your Majesty, you don't know that our second prince has had a hard life since he was a child. His father doesn't love him and his mother is not around. Although he rarely mentions these, I know that he longs for family affection..."

"Your Majesty, I am truly grateful for your ability to raise the Second Prince... wuwuwu..."

As he spoke, he began to sob and his vision became increasingly blurred.

Nan Yue walked past him expressionlessly and handed the imperial edict to Xiao Yanzhi, "Keep it. Tell me if you need anything."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Nan Yue had already gone in, but Lin Fu was still crying, "Wow, I am so happy..."

He looked up at the blurry figure of the woman in front of him, choked up and praised: "My Lady, you are truly a saint..."

Banxia: “…”Are you okay?

She walked past him with a dark face...

"Wow... eh?"

Lin Fu raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears. Why did they all run away?

Xiao Yanzhi held his forehead with his hand. It’s too early to say that! It’s too early to say that!

The timing is simply wrong!

Although it is true, it is only his first day in Fengyi Palace, and this tragedy should not be exaggerated like this!

How could the Queen be so easily deceived?

He lowered his voice and said, "I told you not to talk nonsense."

"Slave, I thought... that was your way of retreating to advance..."

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips and praised: "You are quite smart..."

Lin Fu scratched his head in embarrassment, "No, no." Seeing his master's expression change, he quickly said, "I know I was wrong!"

"How clever! She calls Aunt Banxia 'Mother'."

Lin Fu felt a little aggrieved. "You know I have an eye disease. I can't see clearly after crying..."

Xiao Yanyi slapped him heavily on the shoulder, "Why did I bring you here? It's embarrassing!"

……

"My queen, you want to raise the second prince? Was that why you went to see the emperor before?"

This was the second time the Queen had raised a prince. Compared to the time when Xiao Jinnian did, Banxia was no longer surprised.

"Yeah." Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Nan Yue was a little confused, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Banxia shook her head. "Of course, there is no problem with this servant, but..."

She hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Your Highness raised the Second Prince, so what about the Fifth Prince?"

Even if a child is adopted, only one can be adopted. There is no precedent in this dynasty for adopting multiple princes and princesses.

"Xiao Jinnian?" Nan Yue's eyes did not waver at all. "I gave him a chance."

If only he had been braver and less conflicted, she would have continued to raise him.

Nan Yue really didn't seem to care much, so Banxia breathed a sigh of relief. She had seen how hard the Queen had taught the Fifth Prince, and she had been afraid that the Queen would feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was alright.

She couldn't help but sigh again. In fact, any prince would do. She would support the queen in whatever she wanted to do.

The Fifth Prince had lived such a poor life before, the Queen was fined one year's salary and was not favored by the Emperor. Life in the harem was not easy and she was restricted in every way.

It was not the time to make new clothes yet, but the queen took out the silver and money she brought from the general's mansion to buy him the best cloth to make new clothes, not to mention the medicinal food, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, all of which were of the best quality.

On that day, the Fifth Prince just hugged his mother and said something like that as long as his mother didn't follow the Empress. She felt uncomfortable when she heard it, not to mention the Empress.

Of course, she knew she was right to choose her mother.

But people are biased. Banxia was just worried about her own queen. After she recovered from the pain caused by the emperor, she found a prince to raise to divert her attention. But...

If the Fifth Prince had said a few more words to the Empress that day, and not made such a big fuss, Banxia would have said a few good words for him in front of the Empress.

Compared to the Fifth Prince, Banxia now feels that the Second Prince is not bad either...

Anyway, whatever Her Majesty chooses must be good!

……

After Xiao Yanzhi packed up his things, it was almost time for dinner, so he took Lin Fu to the main hall...

As soon as I entered the hall, I met Banxia who was about to leave.

She bowed and said, "I was just planning to ask you to come over."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled faintly and said politely: "Don't bother Aunt Banxia. Yanzhi remembers the time. How dare I keep the queen waiting for a long time."

Banxia smiled and had a better impression of him.

Although she knew something was wrong, she still thought of the Fifth Prince, who always made the Queen wait, and had never taken the initiative to come to her even once since that day...

Maybe she didn't pay much attention to these little things before, but when she saw Xiao Yanzhi, she couldn't help but compare the two of them...

Nan Yue heard their conversation clearly. She waved her hand and said, "Xiao Yanzhi, come here."

Xiao Yanzhi walked over obediently, bowed and saluted, "My queen, how are you?"

Then he sat next to her.

Nan Yue frowned and said calmly: "You don't have to be so polite in front of me in the future."

If she had to perform a formal ceremony every time she met her, she would be a little annoyed.

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to say that...

He nodded and said, "Okay, Yanzhi will listen to you, Madam."

"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it." Nan Yue could tell that he was worried.

Communication is very important for kids of this age, and she has the patience.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes trembled slightly. It was just a moment of shock, but she noticed it...

He said honestly: "Yanzhi dare not neglect etiquette. Here, Yanzhi has no support, and Yanzhi dare not make mistakes..."

He had suffered much more than Xiao Jinnian...

But it’s okay, he took revenge on them one by one…

Now the only person left sitting on the dragon throne is his father.

As we all know, behind every black-hearted villain, there is a not-so-smart henchman.

Xiao Yanzhi: Who are you calling the villain? I'm just the queen's good boy.
