PFC Chapter 163 Queen Qin's Fury
Chapter 163 Queen Qin's Fury
"Oh, Ma Liu, what happened to you?" The little palace maid at the door exclaimed in a low voice and hurriedly helped the person up.
I don't know if it was because I didn't have enough strength or because Aunt Liu was too nervous. The body that had just been lifted up fell back with a "thump". The tailbone hit the marble floor heavily, and Aunt Liu burst into tears in pain.
The frightened little palace maid gritted her teeth and pulled her hard.
Finally getting up, Nanny Liu did not dare to delay and brushed away the little palace maid's support. She quickly wiped her tears with her left sleeve and limped into the inner hall.

In the inner temple,
When Queen Qin saw her son finally coming, she stood up with a dark face, then slammed her hand on the table, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered all over the floor.
The prince was slightly startled, but still greeted respectfully.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
"What greetings are you asking for? Mother asks you, why do you treat that woman so differently?
Where is the Crown Princess's dignity at all? You are actually confining her for a month just for her?
Prince, don’t you know that this Fang Liangdi is a spy sent into the Eastern Palace by Xiao Ruyue?
Prince! When the queen mother saw her foxy face, she suddenly realized what was going on. She finally understood what Concubine Xiao was thinking. She wanted this witch to harm you!
This hateful Xiao Ruyue, her evil mind is known to everyone!"
Queen Qin was speaking anxiously when she suddenly choked and coughed a few times before she stopped.
*
After a while,
Queen Qin looked at the mess on the ground and her son who stood there respectfully without saying a word, and suddenly felt that her attitude was a bit too much.
"Prince, please sit down!"
"Thank you, mother."
Seeing the prince take his seat, Queen Qin also sat down.
His tone softened.
"Prince, today, your mother tested her and found that she is a tolerant woman. If such a person says that she is not a spy sent by Concubine Xiao, your mother will not believe it.
Especially when Aunt Liu brought a cushion with a needle tip hidden inside to test her, she was unharmed. But Aunt Liu's palm was pierced. I wonder if she still knows martial arts?
Prince, tell me, how can your mother feel at ease with such a dangerous person by your side?
Now let me talk about you. What did you do? You didn't even give Yaxue any face and took her away in front of so many people."
As Queen Qin was talking, she began to breathe heavily again. The prince stood up and tried to comfort her.
The two senior palace maids and the limping Matron Liu had already stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Okay, all of you go out. I want to have a few words with the prince."
"Yes." The two senior palace maids quickly picked up the broken teacups on the ground and went out.
Nanny Liu was still hesitant to leave, but after Queen Qin waved her hand, she limped out reluctantly again.
*
Queen Qin said to the Crown Prince who had stood up in a slow tone,
"Prince, mother is fine, please sit down!"
"Although Fang Liangdi is the second daughter of the Yangzhou prefect, my mother sent people to investigate but found nothing wrong.
The messenger swore that she had never practiced martial arts. But her face did not show any pain when she knelt on the mat. The Queen Mother was suspicious and was even more worried about you.
You also know that the Xiao family has been waiting for an opportunity to assassinate you.
A woman who can endure this is ultimately a disaster! We are walking on thin ice all day long, and the Queen Mother doesn’t want you to be ruined by her.”
The prince heard all the dissatisfaction and accusations his mother made about Qingge as soon as she entered the room.
*
Although the prince was unhappy, he could not expose the knee pads on Fang Qingge's knees, otherwise his mother would be furious and punish her for disrespect.
Still patiently said:
"Mother, you have been complaining and blaming your son for not being interested in women, and there are rumors flying around. Don't you think your son is not anxious?
That's because my son hasn't met someone he likes and wants to get close to. When he met Fang Liangdi today, he felt like we had known each other for a long time. He couldn't bear to see her get hurt.
Don't worry, my son knows what he is doing."
The prince stopped, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but the unfinished words still left Queen Qin speechless.
*
After a while,
Queen Qin seemed to have made a decision while struggling.
"Prince, I understand what you mean. I am also an experienced person. Well, no matter how patient she is, she is just a little woman. I don't think she can turn the tables.
As long as she doesn't really want to harm you, the Queen Mother doesn't care.
If she could help you get better and dispel those rumors that are unfavorable to us, your mother would have been looking forward to this day.
It’s okay if you like to pamper her, but remember to keep it in moderation.
At worst, if we have a child in the future, the Queen Mother can just take care of the mother and keep the child."
"Queen mother?"
The prince was filled with annoyance.
When Queen Qin saw this, she quickly changed her words and said,
"Okay, okay, I will do whatever you say. But Yaxue is the Crown Princess after all, so I don't need you to teach me how to treat everyone equally, right?"
*
The prince gently put down the teacup. The word "filial piety" weighed heavily on his mind, so he could only say in a roundabout way,
"Mother, please give your son some time! If he can slowly change his aversion to women after spending some time with Fang Liang Di, we can talk about it then?"
"What do you mean by talk about it later? If you favor Fang Liang Di one day, wouldn't that prove that the disease is cured?
Why can't you agree to your mother's request? Is it so difficult to agree? Don't forget that Yaxue is the Crown Princess. "
Queen Qin's voice became a little louder when she questioned.
Seeing his mother acting so unreasonably, the prince felt annoyed and helpless. He stood up and turned around, as if he was going to leave.
*
The queen was so angry that she pointed at the door and shouted,
"Madame Liu, stop him."
Aunt Liu, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard the Queen's order and rushed in. She hurried forward and grabbed the prince who was about to leave.
"Prince, please sit down first. The Queen is a little anxious. Don't worry, Madam Liu will persuade the Queen."
The prince had no intention of causing a rift with the queen. He gave Matron Liu a hint with his eyes and sat down again.
How could Madam Liu dare to offend the Crown Prince again? In order to atone for her sins, she nodded quickly and then hurried to the side of the Queen, and gently advised,
"My lady, have you forgotten that when the prince didn't have anyone he liked, you were so anxious that you burned incense and prayed to the Buddha?
Today, Your Highness the Crown Prince finally has someone he likes, you should be happy!"
Queen Qin held her forehead with her hand and stopped talking.
The prince looked at his mother who had stopped having an attack, stood up, bowed to Queen Qin and said,
"Mother, since father has agreed, please preside over the ceremony for Fang Liangdi to be enshrined in the imperial royal book in seven days.
My son has asked the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites to start work on the East Palace."
"You? How dare you!"
