Chapter 130 Showing Loyalty
Chapter 130 Showing Loyalty
The eldest prince Chu Heng has been named crown prince for ten days.
But there is still no movement on appointing a Crown Princess.
Shen Yinyin was so anxious that she couldn't sleep or eat during this period.
Every day when Minister Shen came back from court, she would ask him several times if he had any news.
Minister Shen was annoyed by her questions.
But he couldn't bear to be angry with his daughter, so he could only patiently comfort her.
Mrs. Shen was originally quite calm, but as she hadn't received any news for a long time and seeing her daughter so anxious, her mood was inevitably affected.
She felt that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
She should do something to ease her daughter's anxiety, she also needs to calm down.
Thinking of this, she suggested to Shen Yinyin: "Yinyin, go to the palace to play with the Second Princess tomorrow, and visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the way."
"Mom will go with you."
When Shen Yinyin heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Okay! Thank you, Mom! You're so kind!" Shen Yinyin hugged her mother's arm and rested her head on her shoulder.
Madam Shen patted the back of her hand and said, "Silly child, mother definitely hopes you are well."
"Today I want to hand a sign to the Queen and ask for her instructions."
If the queen does not agree to let them enter the palace, there is nothing that can be done.
However, to Mrs. Shen's surprise, the messenger came back soon and said that the queen would be waiting for them in the harem tomorrow. The messenger also brought back cakes given by the queen.
Shen Yinyin took the cakes given by the Queen, and the worry she had had these days finally settled down a little.
Those anxious and worried emotions gradually subsided.
"Look, didn't mother tell you before that the Queen is very satisfied with you, and she hasn't contacted you during this period, or there is no news. Firstly, it is because the Crown Prince's injury has not healed yet. Secondly, the Crown Prince has just changed his new identity, and he must be very busy."
"Besides, many things in the royal family are different from what we imagined."
"You, please be more patient in the future."
Mrs. Shen wanted to take this opportunity to educate him.
"Okay, my daughter understands." Shen Yinyin agreed immediately. But now her mood is completely different.
Now I am just waiting to enter the palace tomorrow.
She hopes to have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The next morning, Mrs. Shen brought Shen Yinyin into the palace.
She put on exquisite makeup and dressed up carefully today.
I am in a very good mood.
The mother and daughter went directly to the harem, the queen's bedroom.
The second princess was already waiting here with the queen, and obviously knew that Shen Yinyin had entered the palace.
"Yin Yin, you're here!" Seeing Shen Yin Yin, she greeted her warmly.
Shen Yinyin had a smile on her face. She held her hand and said gently, "Actually, I've always wanted to play with you, but I was afraid you wouldn't be free."
"How could I not be free? I don't have anything else to do normally."
"Well, I came here today."
After paying respects to the Queen, the Queen asked Chu Yue to take Shen Yinyin out to play.
She asked Mrs. Shen to stay and said she had something to say to her alone.
Mrs. Shen sat next to her, and the old nanny brought her tea and snacks.
"I haven't congratulated the Queen yet. The eldest prince was appointed Crown Prince, which is what everyone wants. The Emperor is wise, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deserves the title." Mrs. Shen congratulated with a smile.
"Thank you, Madam Shen. I am very pleased that the emperor trusts Heng'er."
"His Highness the Crown Prince is a man of both civil and military talents, with outstanding strategies. He is truly the one chosen by heaven." Madam Shen once again praised the eldest prince highly.
Anyway, no one doesn't like to hear compliments.
The queen smiled gracefully and took a sip of tea.
"This is also inseparable from Minister Shen's support for Heng'er."
"As it should be. My master has always supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is always very good at judging people."
"Mrs. Shen, have you been in contact with your little daughter recently? After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family." The queen asked meaningfully.
The smile on Mrs. Shen's face froze for a moment.
My heart sank inexplicably.
A bold guess immediately popped up in her mind.
Could it be that the reason why she has been delaying the marriage between her daughter and the prince is because of that unlucky person?
Especially recently, the emperor's attitude towards that person has been unpredictable.
In that case, she must immediately distance herself from the matter.
"Your Highness, you don't know that I have never regarded that jinx as my daughter! She is just a disaster. I am so happy to be able to send her away, how can I still have contact with her?"
Mrs. Shen had an expression of disdain and disgust that was difficult to conceal.
The queen saw that she didn't seem to be pretending.
She suddenly remembered that when that stinky girl first came to the palace to make spicy hot pot, she also said at that time that her fate was special and would bring death to others. Even when she saluted people, it would cause others to feel uncomfortable.
"I see." She nodded thoughtfully.
Then the queen asked again: "Do you know that she knows medical skills?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen became particularly depressed.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I have no idea about this matter. She was thrown into the most remote courtyard in the palace when she was a child. We usually don't care about her. We let her fend for herself."
"There was a period of time during which she had a mental problem and became completely stupid. It was because of this that the emperor asked our family to choose someone to marry that person, and I took the opportunity to send her away."
"Who would have thought that after she married that guy, she would actually wake up! And she even has medical skills. This minister is also incredible."
Mrs. Shen looked worried.
The queen nodded, and after a while, she asked with a half-smile, "So, Madam Shen doesn't have any feelings for the child?"
"Not only do we have no feelings, Queen, don't you know how badly that evil creature has harmed us?"
"She resented us in her heart."
Mrs. Shen looked worried.
She spoke with a dry mouth and took a sip of tea.
After she finished drinking, she continued, "Our family will definitely support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This has not changed before, and it will not change in the future!"
"I hope that person will never be able to make a comeback! That evildoer will never be able to stir up any trouble."
When the Queen heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
"I know Madam Shen's intentions. In this case, I am relieved."
The queen thought that their identities would be useful in the future.
Outside, Chu Yue took Shen Yinyin to walk around the garden.
"Yuer, how is your brother's injury now?" Shen Yinyin asked with concern.
"Yin Yin, have you been worried about my brother during this period?"
"Yeah. I'm worried..." Shen Yinyin lowered her head, a little shy, but she still agreed.
"Don't worry, he's much better now. He just recently was crowned the Crown Prince, so he has a lot of things to do, in addition to his previous government affairs."
Chu Yue also explained to her considerately.
Shen Yinyin bit her lip and still worriedly reminded: "You still have to take care of your body, after all, he hasn't fully recovered yet!"
Chu Yue smiled slyly: "Yin Yin, do you want to meet my brother?"
