"My daughter-in-law greets mother." The Crown Princess lowered her head and spoke with respect.

"Yes." The empress replied flatly, looking tired.

I also stepped forward and bowed. "My sister-in-law greets the princess consort."

The Crown Princess didn't even look at me. She just glanced at me and said coldly,

"Princess Consort Jin is really diligent and meticulous. Since she rushed here early in the morning, Imperial Mother will definitely be happy."

I smiled faintly but didn't say anything. However, she secretly sneered in her heart, afraid that she would lose out on this outfit today.

"What are you doing here instead of serving the crown prince in the Eastern Palace?" The Queen spoke with a hint of anger.

The Crown Princess went up and took the box from the maid behind her, "My daughter-in-law heard that my mother was injured, so she made some snow lotus chicken soup to honor my mother."

The empress, seeing how sincere she was in her words, pitied her filial piety. She eased her expression and said:

"You still have a sense of filial piety."

The Queen was slightly impressed. The Crown Princess's eyes lit up when she heard that. She was surprised and then said in a flattering tone,

The snow lotus in the soup was taken from the summit of Tianshan Mountain, making it a top-notch snow lotus that could be grown once every hundred years. After riding 800 miles fast, the daughter-in-law had just sent someone to hunt the wild pheasants in the mountain, and when she sent them over, they were still alive and kicking, fresh and fresh.

The Crown Princess didn't notice the change in the Queen's face and kept showing off like she was showing off a treasure.

"My daughter-in-law added Cistanche from the Western Regions to the soup, chose the best bones and best antlers, stewed them in a small stove for the night, and removed the impurities. She then drank this cup and offered it to my mother."

He opened the lid of the box and a refreshing fragrance spread in the hall. It was truly a good thing.

The empress's cold brows were tinged with anger, but her expression was unperturbed as she spoke.

"If that's the case, then this cup of soup actually cost a thousand taels of gold? "You sure are generous."

The Crown Princess was still happy about trying to please the Queen. She didn't notice the mockery in the words of the Queen at all. She blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded seriously, saying,

"As long as muhou's body is healthy, even if it's ten thousand taels of gold, your daughter-in-law will not feel any heartache."

With that, she looked at the empress expectantly, her face filled with confidence. She probably thought that the empress would praise her filial piety. The empress sighed silently. She didn't know whether to sigh at the crown prince's extravagance or at his stupidity, but she suppressed her anger in the end and waved her hand.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid mother will not have the fortune to receive this' thousand gold '. You should continue carrying it."

The Crown Princess was disappointed. She looked at the Queen and said,

"Is it because Imperial Mother doesn't like to eat? Your daughter-in-law has personally tasted it, and the taste is exceptionally delicious. If mother eats it, you will be able to live for a long time. "

The Crown Princess was a daughter-in-law that she had chosen herself. She was of an influential family, but unfortunately, even though she was born with a beautiful face, an ordinary head, an insensible mind, and a greed for pleasure, she was not fond of the Crown Prince's heart or the Empress's feelings. Even so, she could only say:

"Then put it down. However, my illness is not on the surface of my body, but here — "The empress pointed to my head with a finger, which was covered with a soft silver amulet, and said in disappointment," If you really want me to recover quickly, then learn from Little'er.

There was a slight resentment in the princess' eyes. She glared at me, but I didn't mind. In my heart, I was mocking her for smacking the horse's leg.

Seeing the suppressed laughter in my eyes, the Crown Princess became even more furious, but she didn't dare act rashly in front of the Queen. She lifted her skirt and kneeled in front of the Queen with tears in her eyes as she sobbed,

"Your daughter-in-law does not know your mother's worries, but please enlighten her."

"Sigh …" The empress let out a long sigh and said, "I can't blame you for this. You've been living in luxury since you were young, how could you possibly understand this? There is a saying among the people that one does not know how much money and money is worth unless one is in charge. I am only worried that in the future, you will act like a mother to the whole world. "

The Crown Princess was shocked. She went down to the ground and sobbed and said in fear,

"Imperial Mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely change her ways in the future." Imperial Mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely change her ways in the future.

The empress saw that the princess consort was sobbing unreasonably, which added to her worries. She waved her hand and said:

"Leave. I'm tired. Little Sister, leave with your sister-in-law."

"Yes!" I replied. I signalled to the court lady to help the princess out of the inner palace. The queen didn't look at us, but turned her face inward. However, I could clearly feel the turmoil and exhaustion in her heart, the exhaustion that came from both her body and mind.

After leaving the Yongan Palace, I saw that the princess was still sobbing uncontrollably. Although she always tried to make things difficult for me, she was still my sister-in-law. She was also a pitiful woman who couldn't bear to see her husband's heart, so I took out the brocade handkerchief and handed it to her.

Unexpectedly, she reached out her hand to grab my brocade handkerchief and threw it on the ground. She glared at me, then angrily left without even looking back. I helplessly shook my head with a bitter smile.

"Your Highness, you're too kind. Are you just going to let the Crown Princess trample over you?"

I looked at her and faintly said:

"There must be something pitiful about those who hate them. Why bother with others? Wouldn't it be bad for your body to be so bored?"

Only Gladys nodded, but I could see that she didn't quite agree with me.

Walking leisurely along the edge of the pond, he met Mild who was patrolling the area. He was clad in soft armor and carried a great sword on his waist. He looked vigorous and vigorous as he proudly led his team along the gravel path.

So she went and invited him.
