When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Zhou Luer stomped her feet in anger, picked up her skirt and chased after him.

After hurrying and hurrying, they finally entered the main hall where the Empress Dowager received guests.

The Queen Mother sat high on the throne, holding a jade dragon-headed cane.

He had a kind face, and a smile that showed his authority without any anger on his lips.

He waved his hand to signal the three people who were paying homage to take a seat.

His voice was old but full of energy: "Today I have specially dismissed all the people who came to worship and summoned you three here for no other reason than to announce a happy event."

Zhou Luer usually agreed, and this time was no exception. She knew clearly what the purpose of her visit was, but she still acted ignorant and replied attentively: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. If there is a happy event, it will be a double happiness, which is really a good omen."

After he finished speaking, he quietly turned his head and glanced at Qin Yuechuan.

Hoping to read some reaction from his facial expression, whether it was surprise or confusion, Zhou Luer had already thought of a response for whatever the situation was. Even if he was furious, she was confident that she could coax him into calming down.

However, Qin Yuechuan on the opposite side remained unmoved and turned a deaf ear to everything he said. He just turned his head and paid attention to every move of Xu Xinyue beside him.

Zhou Luer was a little annoyed and cursed in her heart: Look at that woman, she is so dull. The Queen Mother said so. It’s okay for Prince Rong, a royal relative, but she, a small commoner, didn’t even say a word and didn’t care. She is really not worthy of being in a noble place.

Zhou Luer felt sick at the thought that she would have to be below her and become a concubine in the future!

How could a person whose family background and status are inferior to hers be worthy of receiving a gift from Zhou Luer!

The Queen Mother was not surprised by Qin Yuechuan's reaction. People who were raised outside were always like this. She took the initiative to ask him, "Does Prince Rong know what the happy event is?"

Qin Yuechuan raised his head indifferently, and the Queen Mother above replied coldly: "I don't know, but I think it should have nothing to do with this prince. The mansion has not received any news from the palace recently."

The Queen Mother had always been at odds with him, and thought that Qin Yuechuan was always ungrateful, but today's matter was of great importance, so she ignored his response and continued on her own: "A few days ago, I heard that you rashly asked for an imperial decree for yourself. It's understandable that a young man is a little hot-tempered.

But you are a royal heir, and the identity of the girl you are seeking is indeed——"

She wanted to say that Xu Xinyue's identity was really not worthy of being on the stage, but Qin Yuechuan interrupted her and grabbed Xu Xinyue's hand: "The Queen Mother is right, it is really precious and hard to come by. I spent a lot of effort to ask her to agree."

He stroked Xu Xinyue's five fingers, taking in every subtle expression of hers, fearing that the Queen Mother's words would upset her.

Xu Xinyue felt his comforting intent and shook her head at him slightly.

She was not a fool. The empress dowager's unfinished meaning was obvious to her. She had heard it many times over the years, and had heard things that were even more unpleasant than this. It no longer stirred any ripples in her heart.

My intuition suggests that there should be more to it, and sure enough, the superior said, "Since it is the imperial decree, this is the only way to do it. However, you need to maintain your dignity when you are away from home.

We still need a noble lady with a good reputation and family background, so as not to bring disgrace to the royal family."

Qin Yuechuan sneered: "The Queen Mother is joking. This prince's dignity was given by a woman?"

Seeing the Queen Mother's face showing her displeasure, he continued, "My identity, my position, my military achievements, my position, can't even give me dignity? Do I need my woman to win dignity for me?

My princess does not need to do anything for me or earn any face. She only needs to rely on my power and authority to do whatever she wants.

The person that this king wants to marry will naturally be guaranteed by this king.

To be honest, it is my fault. The Queen Mother and I are both from the royal family. The royal family may look glorious on the outside, but isn't the Queen Mother aware of what is really filthy inside?

This is a good girl, but she has to wade into this muddy water for me. I feel really uneasy."

"You!" The Queen Mother was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing. She just said one sentence, and this bastard used hundreds of words to shut her up! He was really bewitched by this woman and lost his mind, crazy!

He turned his gaze to look at Xu Xinyue. At this time, anyone with a little bit of savvy would know to step out and smooth things over, especially since this matter was all caused by her.

But the man was sitting upright with a calm expression, looking straight ahead. It was unknown what he was thinking, and he seemed to have not heard the witty words from the second middle school student.

Zhou Luer was always observing the situation and saw what the Queen Mother meant. She quickly gave her a way out and turned to point the finger at Xu Xinyue: "Miss Xu, this matter is all because of you. Can you bear to see the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness Prince Rong become estranged?

You haven't married into the royal family yet, but you've already started a dispute. Don't you want to say something about this? ? After years of blood ties, now there's a rift because of you.

Are you at peace in your heart?"

The tone was sad, and the accusation was obvious.

With an attitude of standing up for both sides, he directly identified Xu Xinyue as the "spearhead" who provoked the dispute.

Qin Yuechuan's eyes were gloomy. He opened his mouth to say that it was nothing, but was stopped by Xu Xinyue: "Miss Zhou, this matter was indeed caused by me. I have no way to refute it."

"then you--"

“Although I come from a humble background, I know the common sense of a person: the husband sings and the wife follows.

Since I am with Prince Rong, I naturally side with him. Besides, I think what he said makes sense.

However, I know that I have no right to criticize the Queen Mother, so from now on, I have been accepting all criticisms respectfully. Is this wrong?

Let me ask you, Miss Zhou, what do you think I can do to please both the Queen Mother and Prince Rong at the same time?

I’m all ears.”

Xu Xinyue spoke in a calm tone and threw the question back to Zhou Luer, inviting her to answer.

When Qin Yuechuan heard Xu Xinyue say "the husband sings and the wife follows", he felt so comfortable and relaxed that he felt he could fight with the old woman for another hundred rounds.

At that time, Zhou Luer was only concerned about making things difficult for Xu Xinyue, but she didn't expect that she would be outmaneuvered by her. She was caught off guard and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word.

Xu Xinyue chuckled and continued, "So, Miss Zhou has no solution either. If that's the case, why force her?"

Zhou Luer was furious and embarrassed, so she had to lower her head and remain silent. She didn't dare to look at Qin Yuechuan's reaction, nor did she dare to meet the Queen Mother's eyes. She tried to please others but was ridiculed instead.

It's totally shameful.

"Ai, as you said, I have suffered injustice from you!" The empress dowager spoke harshly and glared at Xu Xinyue.

"No, I will not lie to you if you ask me. I am just being honest."

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows, thinking that she had underestimated the quiet Xu Xinyue. She had used the opponent's force against her, causing Zhou Luer to suffer the loss she had thrown at her.

He easily resolved her angry rebuke in a way that was neither too light nor too severe. What a pragmatic person!

The Queen Mother had no intention of beating around the bush and said directly:

"In short, it is impossible for the palace to have only one woman. It is necessary to have more children, and the more the better.

Besides, Prince Rong still needs someone with the support of his mother's family to lend him a helping hand.

Prince Rong is young now and doesn't care. But when he reaches your father's age, it will be too late to regret.

This should be done as soon as possible, and besides, she is just a concubine, not a co-wife.

It not only protects your beloved, but also leaves you with a backup plan. It's the best of both worlds, so why not do it? "

It seemed as if he was making plans for Qin Yuechuan.

The Queen Mother then asked Xu Xinyue: "In your words, a gift from an elder should not be refused.

Princess Rong, what do you think? Is what I said reasonable? "

He gave her a compliment by calling her Princess Rong.

Aren't you thinking about King Rong? I am also thinking about King Rong, so what else do you have to say? Since you agree, why does Qin Yuechuan refuse?

The Queen Mother's abacus was clacking in her mind.

As expected, Xu Xinyue was neither surprised nor angry, and said in a gentle manner: "The Queen Mother is right."

Xu Xinyue remembered Qin Yuechuan's instructions last night. If the empress dowager had any difficult requests or words, she should just agree and Qin Yuechuan would solve it.

She believed him.
