Chapter 448 I'm afraid this won't work. I'm the only woman in Jun Feimo's life!
"This..." The Queen Mother was slightly startled, her eyes involuntarily fell on the delicate and pretty child beside Chu Zixi, her face full of unconcealable surprise.
Chu Zixi smiled, gently took the child's hand, and slowly walked to a chair on the side and sat down.
After they sat down, Chu Zixi stretched out her slender hands and gently stroked the child's head, her eyes full of doting, and she said slowly: "Oh, his name is Jun Bai, and he is the beloved son of the prince and me."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her beautiful eyes widened and her mouth opened into a big "O" shape out of shock. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and she stammered, "You...what did you say? He is your son with Fei Mo? How old is he this year?"
At this moment, Mo Xiangyu, who was standing beside the empress dowager, suddenly stepped forward quickly. She was wearing a pink and delicate palace dress, and her figure was graceful.
She first bowed to the Queen Mother, then quickly reached out and tugged at her sleeve, lowering her voice and gently reminding her, "Queen Mother, don't be fooled by Princess Zhan! Think about it, she has only been married to the prince for a short time, how could she have such a big son so quickly?"
Mo Xiangyu's words were like a basin of icy water that poured over the empress dowager's heart, making her originally confused thoughts suddenly become clear.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully. Then she narrowed her eyes and cast a scrutinizing gaze on Chu Zixi and Jun Bai. She looked them up and down carefully, with deep suspicion on her face. She snorted coldly and said, "Humph! That's true, Chu Zixi, are you really trying to deceive me?"
Facing the Queen Mother's questioning, Chu Zixi could not help but roll her eyes helplessly, but soon regained her composure and explained in a light tone: "To answer the Queen Mother's question, Jun Bai is not the biological son of the prince and I, but our adopted son."
After hearing this, the queen mother's already gloomy face became even more like dark clouds, as if a storm would come at any time. She snorted heavily, and the snort was like a thunder in the air, which made people shudder.
At the same time, the words that came out of her mouth were also full of anger and disdain: "Chu Zixi, Chu Zixi, did I allow you to sit down? Look at you, you are so rude, it really makes the royal family look bad! Besides, you are now the princess of Zhan, instead of staying in the mansion to take care of your husband and children, you actually go to that kind of smoky and stinky brothel to hang out, it's simply shameless! Do you know what a sin you have committed?"
Facing the Queen Mother's harsh rebuke, Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Jun Bai, who was standing beside her, suddenly spoke first.
Jun Bai's big round eyes widened, and his pink face bulged like a bun because of anger, but his tone was childish but not fearful: "My mother can go wherever she wants, even my father can't control it, so why do you, an old woman, have the right to interfere?"
As soon as Jun Bai's innocent words came out, the Queen Mother's face instantly became even gloomier than before, as if water could drip out of it.
Her sharp eyes stared at Chu Zixi, her body trembled involuntarily because of extreme anger, and even her voice trembled a little: "How outrageous! Chu Zixi, look at what you have taught this child to be like? He is so disrespectful to his elders and speaks wildly. Is it because of your indulgence in him on a daily basis?"
Seeing this, Chu Zixi simply patted Jun Bai's hand gently, signaling him to be patient.
Then, she raised her head and looked directly at the Queen Mother, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and slowly said: "The Queen Mother specially summoned me here today, could it be that you want to preach to me?"
At this moment, a trace of anger that was hard to conceal flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to use this breath to suppress all the anger in her heart.
After a long while, the Queen Mother finally calmed down a little, and then she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Chu Zixi, don't forget that you are now the Princess of Zhan! As a wife, you should abide by the rules of a woman, behave dignifiedly and be virtuous. But you actually dared to openly go to a shady place like a brothel. Where do you put the face of the royal family? Where do you put the rules and etiquette passed down by our ancestors?"
Hearing the Queen Mother's harsh rebuke, Chu Zixi not only did not show the slightest fear, but instead curled the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sneer full of sarcasm.
Then, she responded slowly, "You are wrong, Queen Mother. Men can go to brothels, but why can't women? Besides, I didn't do anything outrageous when I went to the brothel. I advise the Queen Mother to stay out of other people's business if she wants to live longer."
The Queen Mother gently stroked the exquisitely crafted teacup in her hand while her eyes, like a torch, shot straight at Chu Zixi who was standing below.
After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother spoke again, but this time her tone was much stronger than before: "Chu Zixi, listen to me! The status of the War King is extremely noble, how could he only have a corrupt princess like you by his side?"
Faced with the Queen Mother's strong attitude and words, the sneer on Chu Zixi's face not only did not disappear, but became even more intense.
She slowly raised her head and met the Queen Mother's sharp gaze without dodging. There was no other emotion in her eyes except disdain.
"What do you want to say, Queen Mother?" Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked straight at the Queen Mother. Her tone was calm but sharp.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yu'er, who is beside me, is my distant niece. This time, let her enter the palace as a concubine. You must not make things difficult for her."
When Chu Zixi heard this, a hint of coldness flashed across her face. She straightened her back and responded without hesitation: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this won't work. I am the only woman in Jun Feimo's life."
The Queen Mother's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, like the sky before a storm. She suddenly placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the tea table. With a crisp sound, a little tea in the cup splashed out and wet the table.
