reading more In the Queen's Kun Palace.
After Prince Wenqing and Chu Mingcui entered the imperial palace, they went to greet the Queen first.
As soon as Chu Mingcui entered the hall, she saw Queen sitting with her hands on her chest, looking
pale.
Chu Mingcui had always been considerate in front of Queen. After greeting her, the Queen was still
unhappy.
Chu Mingcui knew that Queen had something on her mind, so she said to Prince Wenqing with a smile,
"Didn't Prince Wenqing say that he would recite a new poem to Prince Wenlu? Go ahead."
Prince Wenqing didn't like to write poems, but Prince Wenlu liked them. Prince Wenqing and Prince
Wenlu were the children of Queen. In order to make this brother love him,he began to learn to write
poems.
Now that he had a new one, he wished he could show off in front of Prince Wenlu. Hearing Chu
Mingcui's words, he left with a smile.
As soon as Prince Wenqing left, Chu Mingcui sent away the servants in the hall. She sat beside the
Queen and asked, "Aunt, what happened?"
Seeing that her son had left, the Queen said with hatred, "I have been married to His Majesty for more
than 20 years. I didn't have dinner alone with me after the big wedding. Tonight, he issued an imperial
edict to Yuan Qingling to have dinner together."
Chu Mingcui turned pale with fright. "Yuan Qingling? Didn't she get brought into the imperial palace to
ask questions? Why isn't she locked up?"
She did not ask when she entered the imperial palace. She thought that according to the rules, even if
Yuan Qingling was not imprisoned, she would be locked up in the dark room first. When she found out
that she had been stripped of her position as Princess Chu, the rest of the punishment would be dealt
with according to her status as a civilian.
Queen Chu said coldly, "Close? Now that she and His Majesty are having dinner alone, I wonder what
she will say in front of His Majesty."
Chu Mingcui was slightly shocked. Yuan Qingling seemed to have become much smarter recently. If
she mentioned her doubts to the Emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She turned to look at Queen Chu, her eyes flashing with cunning light. "Aunt, do you feel dizzy?"
Dinner is set up in the Dragon palace, near by the Royal Workroom.
Yuan Qingling hoped that Prince Rui could have dinner with them. At least one more person would be
enough.
However, when Mu Ru led her to the Dragon palace, the fire of her hope was extinguished.
There was a small sandalwood round table. If it weren't for the tableware, Yuan Qingling would have
thought it was a tea table for drinking tea. No, the tea table was too small. At most, it could serve one
dish.
Such a small table was very close to them, even if they sat across from each other.
Now, Emperor Mingyuan was sitting by the round table with his back straight and his hands on his Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
knees. He raised his sharp eyes to look at her.
Perhaps he wanted to try to be gentle, but he had been dignified for too long, so he couldn't do it.
He just slightly bent his lips and froze. This expression made people feel even colder.
Yuan Qingling slowly walked over and was about to bow when Emperor Mingyuan said, "Don't stand on
ceremony. Sit down."
"Oh," Yuan Qingling said. She strode over to the dining table and sat down carefully.
"There's no need to be so reserved. It's an ordinary meal." Seeing that she was nervous, Emperor
Mingyuan comforted her.
How could Yuan Qingling not be nervous? It wasn't said that only father-in-law and daughter-in-law had
dinner together, let alone that you were the emperor.
"Yes!" She answered.
When she came here, she had thought that Emperor Mingyuan must have something to ask her when
he asked her to come for this meal. Her guess was exactly the same as Yu Wenhao's. He just wanted
to ask about Prince Yu’s residence, about Yu Wenhao's movements, who he knew, and so on.
She had also thought of a proper explanation in advance.
Emperor Mingyuan did not ask, but said to Mu Ru calmly, "Let's eat!"
Yuan Qingling looked at the size of the table. She wondered how many dishes could be served.
The first dish was stewed soup.
Two delicate stewed cups were brought up and placed in front of Emperor Mingyuan and Yuan
Qingling. The lid of the stewed cups was taken away. The fragrance wafted out and went straight into
Yuan Qingling's nose.
She was so excited that she wanted to drink it right away.
However, she didn't think it was that simple. Didn't the emperor have to test the poison and wash his
hands when he ate?
The imperial palace maid poured the soup into a small bowl and put a Silver spoon in it. As for Emperor
Mingyuan, Mu Ru was serving him.
Yuan Qingling did not dare to move. When Emperor Mingyuan picked up the silver spoon and began to
drink the soup, she breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch the spoon.
She was too hungry. With the delicious food in front of her, her nervous mood naturally relaxed slowly.
She thought that no matter what he asked later, she already had an answer. There was nothing to be
afraid of.
She put the soup into her mouth. Before she could drink it, she heard hurried footsteps outside. She
put down the spoon and looked outside.
Mu Ru's eyes darkened and he walked out quickly. After a while,Mu Ru came in with a slightly changed
expression and said, "Your Majesty, Queen is not feeling well and is out of breath.
"
Emperor Mingyuan frowned and stood up. "Drive!"
Yuan Qingling heaved another sigh of relief. Since the Emperor had left, she could eat whatever she
wanted.
She was so hungry that she couldn't eat elegantly.
Emperor Mingyuan glanced around and said to Yuan Qingling, "Follow me."
Yuan Qingling's eyes moved away from the soup in the bowl with difficulty and answered, "Yes!"
She stood up and Mu Ru took out a cape. Emperor Mingyuan turned his back to Yuan Qingling and
asked servant Chang to serve him and tidy up the wrinkles on his clothes.
Yuan Qingling was starving. When Emperor Mingyuan and Mu Ru did not see it, she suddenly picked
up the bowl of soup and put it to their mouths. After two bites, the bowl of soup fell down. The hot soup
slid down her mouths to her throats and burned to her stomachs. She was so hot that she almost burst
into tears.
Emperor Mingyuan turned around and looked at her in surprise.
With tears in her eyes, Yuan Qingling forced a smile and stood there awkwardly.
Emperor Mingyuan suddenly asked Eunuch Mu Ru, "Did Prince Wenqing and Princess Wenqing enter
the palace today?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Wenqing and Princess Wenqing have just entered the palace." Mu Ru replied.
Emperor Mingyuan tidied up the belt on his cloak slowly, looking thoughtful.
He sat down again and said, “Let the doctor go to the Queen's imperial palace and have a look. Let's
continue to eat."
Yuan Qingling was slightly surprised. She looked up at Mu Ru, who seemed to be relieved.
What the hell was going on? Queen fainted, why couldn't the Emperor go and see her?
Did this have anything to do with Prince Wenqing and Princess Wenqing entering imperial palace?
She did not dare to ask. She slowly drank the soup, and then took down the stewed cup. Then, she put
it on the plate. It turned out that there were dishes on the ground one by one. She watched as Emperor
Mingyuan only ate two dishes of each dish, and would not eat the third time.
There was a roast elbow. Yuan Qingling ate it well. Emperor Mingyuan took a bite and said to Mu Ru,
"This elbow is good. Give it to Prince Rui."
"Yes!" Mu Ru walked out and asked the eunuch to send it to Prince Rui.
Yuan Qingling knew that the Emperor had such a hobby. He liked to give the leftovers to the ministers,
which was a kind of grace. The ministers generally felt that there was great glory. reading more
