Chapters 35 - 35 are well-deserved
"What, what are all of you doing?" Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded out. It was mixed with shock, trembling, and even more so, disbelief.
"Third Prince, no need to be so courteous." Queen replied softly. She looked at him, but his heart was unable to calm down.
"Come back with me." Queen didn't ask anything, her voice was just not as gentle as usual.
"Yes." Tang Ke Xin still had her head down, but she could not hear anything wrong in her voice.
Along the way, Queen's face became more and more serious, she turned her head and looked at Tang Ke Xin behind her several times, but did not say a word.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, she sent all the servants away, and there was only Tang Ke Xin and her in the room.
Tang Ke Xin knew that Queen had something to say.
"The third prince is a man of both martial arts and literature. He is extremely talented and peerless in the world. He is indeed very outstanding." Queen looked at Tang Ke Xin, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
Hearing Queen's words, Tang Ke Xin was stunned, she raised her head, with some suspicion in her eyes, and even some secret surprise, what does Queen mean by this?
Such an abrupt praise to Ye Lan Jue, could it be?
She still remembered that the Queen had told her to find her another one after breaking the engagement with Mu Shao Yu.
Seeing the surprise and puzzlement on Tang Ke Xin's face, Queen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If the heart-child was interested in the Third Prince, hearing her say this, she would definitely reveal the shyness of a little woman. At this moment, the heart-child was only surprised and puzzled.
"His Highness is too cold, it's hard to get along with him." Queen thought that Tang Ke Xin's illness was just right, so she tried to use the simplest words, hoping that she would understand.
"Right." Tang Ke Xin nodded, she completely agreed with this point, he was indeed too cold.
"The third prince is deep and reserved, hard to fathom." The Queen continued to speak, but her voice was much more relaxed.
"Right." Tang Ke Xin nodded her head again. She agreed with him even more, that man was more than just unfathomable.
At this moment, Tang Ke Xin had completely understood Queen's intentions. She knew that it was not as she had guessed, and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She had scared her to death, and she had thought that Queen was trying to fit her and Ye Lan Jue together.
"A woman's greatest happiness in this life is to be able to marry a man who truly loves and loves you and can protect you for the rest of your life. As a prince of Dayuan, Your Highness' heart is one with very little time." Seeing Tang Ke Xin nod her head, the heaviness on Queen's face slowly disappeared. It could be seen that heart-child really did not have any thoughts about the Third Highness, but just to be safe, she still needed to remind the heart-child.
As a man, Ye Lan Jue was indeed unrivaled, being the focus of tens of thousands of gazes, and being admired by tens of thousands of people, but as his husband, he was afraid that...
A man like that, with his heart and soul in the world, didn't have much space for a woman. Therefore, it was impossible to love a woman wholeheartedly, and with his identity and status, there would definitely be many women around him in the future.
It was impossible for a man like him to not seek the position of prince. As long as he had that intention, he would be in danger both openly and covertly.
If heart-child were to really marry him, he would definitely be in the same danger.
She only wanted heart-child to be safe, happy, and didn't ask for anything else.
"Yes, I know." Hearing Queen's words, Tang Ke Xin's heart was deeply moved. If that was the case, ordinary people would definitely not say it, and the most likely explanation would be the kind that a mother would privately tell her daughter. Furthermore, it was the kind of mother who only cared about her daughter's happiness and wouldn't try to get close to others.
If Queen had even a little selfishness, she would probably think of a way to have her marry Ye Lan Jue. That would absolutely benefit Ye Lan Chen.
"Come here." He reached out his hand, grabbed Tang Ke Xin's hand and pulled her into the inner room. Then, he took out a beautiful and delicate set of clothes.
Tang Ke Xin was shocked once again. The clothes were made by Queen herself, she had seen Queen stitching it for her the day before, but she didn't expect that Queen would actually make it for her.
As he thought about how the Queen Empress sat under the lamp last night, stitching clothes together with a gentle smile on her face, Tang Ke Xin suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart.
In the modern world, she was an orphan. No one had ever treated her like this before.
In the Prime Minister's Estate, the Madame Prime Minister doted on her a lot and loved her a lot, but it was not as exquisite as the one in the Queen.
"Un, heart-child is so beautiful." After Tang Ke Xin changed her clothes, the Queen looked at her with a gentle smile, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
The corner of Tang Ke Xin's lips slightly lifted as she lightly smiled. It was very warm and very soft.
"The Queen Empress has already been prepared, are we going over now?" Just then, the respectful voice of a palace maid came from outside the door.
"Yes." The Queen responded softly as she pulled Tang Ke Xin away and said, "Come, I'll bring you to the Qing Ke Garden. It's too hot today."
Qing Yin Garden, the palace's holy land, the quiet and serene lake, the shade of trees, even though it was a hot summer day, it was exceptionally cool. Of course, people like this couldn't go to this kind of place.
Normally, only the Emperor s could go there. Most consorts did not even have the qualifications, but the Fourth Prince was a frequent visitor there.
Normally, Queen rarely went, it was only because Tang Ke Xin came today and the sky was especially hot that Queen wanted to bring her there.
There was no air-conditioning in the ancient times, nor was there even a fan. Such a hot day was indeed very torturous, and with such a good place, Tang Ke Xin was naturally happy.
Only, when they entered the courtyard, they saw that above the Serene Lake, two men were playing chess. One of them was Ye Lan Chen, and the other was actually Ye Lan Jue.
Thinking about what happened earlier, Tang Ke Xin's footsteps subconsciously stopped, and Queen's expression also seemed to slightly change.
"Imperial Mother, you have come." Ye Lan Chen had already seen them. He stood up and shouted happily.
Queen could only bring Tang Ke Xin over.
"You're lazy here again." Queen looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
"Mother, your son isn't slacking off. Your son is playing chess with Three Emperors, and as I was walking along the road, I met him and pulled him over." Ye Lan Chen knew how to find excuses.
"You want to play chess with His Highness? heart-child, come over here and see how badly he lost. " Queen chuckled as she brought Tang Ke Xin to sit at a stone table.
The stone table was not very big. When Queen sat on one side, Tang Ke Xin could only sit on the other.
"Muhou, is that what you say about your son? "How do you know this son will lose?" Ye Lan Chen slightly tilted his mouth, protesting in a low voice, but when he looked at Ye Lan Jue, it was obvious that he did not have much confidence.
Tang Ke Xin looked at the Go board on the table and chuckled secretly. It would take a few minutes for the Third Prince to win, but the Third Prince did not seem to be in a hurry to do so. He was playing chess slowly with the Fourth Prince, probably because he did not want the Fourth Prince to lose too badly.
"heart-child, I have already sent someone to Mu Residence to discuss the cancellation of your engagement with Mu Shao Yu." Seeing Ye Lan Jue's action, Queen's eyes flashed, and suddenly said.
When Tang Ke Xin heard Queen's words, she was secretly happy in her heart. She never thought that Queen would be so fast, of course she couldn't display it too clearly.
He picked up the tea from the palace maid on the table and took a sip, concealing some of his emotions.
"I think that you and Chen Er are compatible, so after cancelling the marriage between you and Mu Shao Yu, you and Chen Er can actually …" Queen had this idea from the beginning, she felt that she could try out heart-child and Chen Er's plans.
Of course, she was saying these words in front of Ye Lan Jue on purpose to test his reactions.
