Chapter 57: The 'Prince' and the Empress!

"Queen Mother...... You, what's wrong with you?" Xia Qing stared at the scene blankly, already stunned.

In the quiet palace, apart from the queen's crazy laughter, only the cold wind remained.

After a burst of crazy smiles, the queen finally calmed down, she looked at Xia Qing with soft eyes, but a trace of complexity flashed in the depths of her phoenix eyes, and she smiled faintly: "The queen mother is fine." ”

The crown prince was young and didn't understand what Emperor Xia's 'pardon' meant...... Sometimes forgiveness means deliverance, and other times, forgiveness means deliverance.

And for the people in this deep palace imperial city, death is the most common way of liberation.

What kind of choice the man would give her, she didn't have to think about it at all...... The queen sneered twice in her heart.

already knew her fate, the queen didn't care about anything at the moment, her face once again showed the fierce and majestic aura of being the master of the harem, and she shouted coldly outside: "Come on, get a basin of hot water, bring a grate, the palace wants to comb the prince's hair!"

Outside the palace, although no one responded, someone soon sent what the queen had asked for-

A copper basin filled with hot water, a grate made of pear blossom jade, a silk handkerchief, a few pieces of honey locust and green poria.

"Queen Mother, what are you going to do?" Xia Qing's face changed, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly welled up in his heart.

He didn't know why the queen suddenly wanted to help him with his hair, the last time the queen helped him brush his hair, it was more than a year ago. At that time, the queen said in a thousand words that she could not show her figure in front of outsiders in the future, and she could only come by herself for things like hair bathing and bathing. And now, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry outside, all of which are internal guards, and I don't know how many people are watching here.

"Rest assured, now...... This place, no one dares to come in. ”

The queen smiled, looked at Xia Qing softly, and said softly: "Come, the queen mother will help you with your hair." ”

As she spoke, the queen gently wiped her hand on the top of the crown prince Xia Qing's head and took off the turquoise hairpin. The moment the hairpin was removed, a turquoise fluorescence flickered on the prince's body.

Those turquoise fluorescences converged in the void, forming a vague figure, this figure looked a little similar to the crown prince Xia Qing.

At the same time, in the arms of the queen, the figure of the crown prince Xia Qing disappeared, and was replaced by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

The girl has an extremely beautiful face, a pair of dark eyes are crystal clear, the bridge of the nose is high, and the red lips are small, like a burning flame.

The appearance is beautiful, the body is delicate, the skin is white and beautiful, the ice muscles and jade bones, the amazing beauty, especially the gentle and delicate taste, makes people can't help but have a strong desire to protect her.

Even if Li Yiqi is present, I am afraid that I can only admit that Li Qian'er, who was shocked by him, is one point inferior to this woman in appearance.

Looking at the girl, the queen's eyes were extremely quiet, hugging the girl in her arms, and the softest place in her heart was constantly trembling.

"Qing'er, come. ”

The queen raised her hand, and the black and shiny hair, which was still coiled behind the girl's head and inherited from her, fell down like a waterfall, covering the girl's snow-white and tender shoulders, and fell on the girl's back and chest.

"The Queen Mother. ”

The girl's red lips opened lightly, a pair of beautiful eyes blinked, there was a thrilling beauty, compared to the queen's coldness, the girl did not apply powder Dai like an elf-like beautiful and unparalleled face, but had a different kind of stunning color.

Prince Xia Qing turned out to be a daughter!

If this news spreads, I am afraid that it will lose the face of the royal family and shock the whole world!

"Qing'er, you have to remember that this 'Blue Shadow Hairpin' can allow the wearer to change his appearance at will, it is a holy relic, if you can't use it in the future, destroy it, and don't fall into the hands of others. The queen's eyes were dark, and as she spoke, she threw a few pieces of honey locust and green coria into the hot water.

"Queen Mother?" Xia Qing looked at the queen with a puzzled expression. If it's a treasure, why destroy it if you don't use it?

"It's nothing, Qing'er, you are sixteen years old this year, and two months later, you will ask your father to marry Red Sleeves as a concubine. The queen smiled softly, her gaze serene and deep.

"Queen Mother, what do you mean, why are you saying this?!Why did I ask my father for an edict?Why didn't you make an edict for me?" Xia Qing's delicate little face was slightly discolored, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

The queen's face was expressionless, and her calm tone revealed a sense of relief, and she laughed softly: "Your father will not listen to your mother anymore...... In the future, if you have anything you want, ask your father directly, after all, you are his child. ”

"Mother, my father has pardoned you...... You, where did you offend your father?" Xia Qingmei's eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and her delicate and beautiful face was full of grievances and anger, and she looked at the queen with a puzzled expression.

The queen looked down at her, her eyes were complicated, she was silent for a moment, and her voice became cold: "You are not allowed to ask this question again!"

"No one is allowed to ask, and no one is allowed to mention this matter!" the queen reminded repeatedly, her phoenix eyes wandered, and she said softly: "If the queen mother is beaten into the cold palace by your father in the future, you must take good care of yourself." ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

Xia Qing exclaimed softly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the queen raise her eyebrows, and glared at her with a look of anger, and her heart trembled at the moment, and she lowered her little head respectfully, not daring to ask again.

"Your brothers and brothers, you have to contact them less in the future, and you don't trust anyone except Red Sleeves. The queen said meaningfully while helping Xia Qing Mu Fa.

Hearing the word 'cold palace', Xia Qing couldn't help but shudder in her heart, gritted her teeth, and wanted to speak, but she thought of Bi Guifei saying that the queen had committed a capital crime, and it was already a blessing to be able to leave a life, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"The boy knows. ”

Xia Qing said respectfully, hot water slid down her long, fair neck, dripping on the cold ground.

The queen looked at Xia Qing with mixed feelings in her heart, as if she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start, and after a long time, she said: "Don't be jealous of your father, it was the queen mother who deceived him......"

Hearing this, Xia Qing's body trembled and was silent.

"At the beginning of next year, if you want to join the army, you can go to Anxi, the tall man over there...... Forget it, let's go to Haizhou, when you get there, if someone comes to pick you up......" The queen whispered, and big tears suddenly slipped uncontrollably from the phoenix's eyes.

Da –

The tears fell to the ground, shattering into even smaller splashes, and a look of consternation suddenly appeared on the queen's face. In the harem, the women intrigue with each other, fight openly and secretly, and tear each other down for their own future. As the master of the harem, she has been hard-hearted for more than ten years, dealing with countless unruly women, and has never shed a single tear. She thought her heart was dead.

The queen glanced at Xia Qing with complicated eyes, and did not continue, she was never afraid of death, since the moment she embarked on this road, she was ready, but when she really had to face everything, what she couldn't let go of in her heart was her own child.

"I shouldn't tell Qing'er everything, I shouldn't let her be like me. The queen's phoenix eyes flashed with a fierce and determined light, but soon, a trace of guilt flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Over the years, her biggest mistake was to dote on the prince too much, so that after her death, she didn't know who to hand over Xia Qing to feel at ease......

Suddenly, a face crossed the queen's mind.

"How did you think of him......"

The queen sighed bitterly in her heart, and recalled in her mind that the young man was calmly and calmly bargaining with herself in front of her, and suddenly laughed in her heart, and shook her head silently.

"Are you still satisfied with the companion that the queen mother arranged for you?"

"Reading ......"

Xia Qingmei's eyes blinked, her face was full of inexplicability, and she reacted for a long time before she remembered that the companion reading in the queen's mouth was Li Yiqi, and she immediately lowered her head and laughed softly: "Satisfied......"

Li Yiqi entered the East Palace to serve her, although he couldn't say that he obeyed her, but the three chapters of the agreement between the two, Li Yiqi perfectly complied with it, and after reading with this companion, her life in the prince's mansion was really much more comfortable, and she was naturally satisfied.

"That's good. The queen sighed softly.

Xia Qing lowered her head, let the queen take the pear blossom jade grate to help her comb the three thousand green silks neatly, a trace of shame flashed in her beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, can't I keep the position of the prince......

"Maybe. The queen smiled bitterly.

Emperor Xia's personality, he knows better than the prince, but now, it's too late to say anything, and she hides a few secrets on Xia Qing's body very well, otherwise, Xia Qing is afraid that she will follow in her footsteps.

Time passed, the queen had already straightened out Xia Qing's jet-black hair, and then retrieved the 'blue shadow hairpin' and inserted it back into its original place, and soon, a touch of cyan fluorescence appeared again, and the crown prince Xia Qing changed back to his youthful appearance again.

"Qing'er, it's time for you to go. The queen gently smoothed the prince's somewhat messy robe and whispered.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Xia Qing raised her head and opened her small mouth, she really wanted to stay here to talk to her mother more, but she also knew that it was very late and it was not suitable to stay in the harem, so she had to reply respectfully: "The queen mother should rest early, the child will go back, and I will come to see the queen mother tomorrow." ”

"Good. The queen nodded, looking at her daughter with gentle eyes, her palm gently caressing the other party's cheek, and the depths of her phoenix eyes swelled with reluctance.

Xia Qing didn't know that this was the last time the two met, but the queen knew, but she didn't plan to tell the child this cruel reality.
