Because she handed the sign in advance, the queen knew that Princess Liu was going to the palace today, and she really wanted to see Princess Liu, so she asked Mama Qi to pack up the side hall for the two of her to talk.

As soon as Princess Liu arrived, she knelt down and greeted the queen and said: "Courtesy Liu's family sees the queen's mother, I wish the queen a thousand blessings and peace!" ”

The queen said: "Get up quickly, there is no one else in this house, you are sick and you have to pay so many courtesies, come to the palace." ”

Princess Liu Xie En got up and smiled and sat down on the chair beside the queen and said, "It took so long to come to the palace to greet you, and please don't blame the queen." ”

The queen said: "Hey, isn't this sick, and this palace is not a ruthless person, depending on what you said." After saying this, the queen said to Mama Qi beside her: "You all go down, let the palace and Princess Liu have some close words, and if there is anything, the palace will tell you again." ”

Mama Qi smiled and said: "Hey, the master is looking forward to Princess Liu, and the servants will not be in the way, so they will go down and wait, and if the mother has any orders, just say it." After saying that, Mama Qi took the maids in the hall and went down.

When everyone was gone, the queen was concerned and said, "You have suffered during this time. ”

Princess Liu, who had been wronged by her own father, said: "Hey, as a child, this bitter niece has to endure it, but the niece's illness worries you, aunt." ”

The queen said: "Don't talk about it, you kid, your grievances are known in this palace, but it's not good for this palace to directly meddle in your father's affairs in this deep palace, but it's a pity that you were implicated in life, right, You'er didn't say anything, right?" ”

Princess Liu said: "Hey, the prince didn't say anything clearly from beginning to end, but the concubine body could feel that the prince should know everything, but it was just because the situation did not occur, and the concubine body was only grounded on the grounds of overwork, I thought it was a reminder to my father." ”

The queen worried, "Is that really what your mother said?" ”

Princess Liu hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "It's really, I really don't know what to say, the concubine really doesn't know that there will be that kind of thing, those two people are the guards that the father specially gave to the concubine for fear of the insecurity of the house, because it was sent by the father, the concubine didn't think much about it at all, who knew that it was the two of them who made such a mess, not only almost harmed the prince but also involved a side concubine in the house, the concubine really didn't expect that when the prince brought him up, the concubine was still kept in the dark, if it weren't for the prince, The concubine body is still ... Hey, the concubine really doesn't want this to have anything to do with her father, but this is so obvious that the concubine doesn't dare to think about it at all. ”

The queen frowned and said, "Why wasn't this matter suppressed by You'er, how could anyone else know?" ”

Princess Liu said: "Hey, the concubine doesn't understand very well, but I probably know that it was the prince and Concubine Zhao who were poisoned that time, and the poison said that it had an evil effect and it had to be a man and a woman to have sex to work, so the Zhao family was probably also implicated, but Aunt Queen, don't worry, the Zhao family is a strict-mouthed woman and there will be no problem." ”

The queen was worried: "How can it be the Zhao family, is that Zhao family very favored by You'er?" ”

Princess Liu reported truthfully: "It's hard to say about this concubine, the prince has never liked others to inquire about his life in the backyard, as for the Zhao family, it should be regarded as the prince's eye, compared to the Le family, the prince is more willing to rest in her house, but this Zhao family has always been low-key and not very obvious." ”

The queen sighed and said: "At that time, I also saw that the Zhao family was a virtuous woman before giving marriage to You'er, first, I thought that she could share Le's favor, and secondly, such a temperament would not constitute your trouble, now it seems that it is as you wish, but you still have to be careful, this person's heart is unpredictable, this Zhao is the next Le's." ”

Princess Liu said with a smile: "Auntie, this concubine is not worried, first, this Zhao family does not have much ambition, she has gained the upper hand several times and has not fallen into the ground, as long as she does not provoke her with such a temperament, she will not make any trouble; Second, she is still young after all, and it hasn't been long since she entered the mansion, even if she really has any ideas, the concubine is not in a hurry, isn't there still Le's, if this Zhao's pet is really more than Le's, Le's arrogant and domineering temperament will be unbearable sooner or later. ”

The queen said: "How do you say that it makes sense, when it comes to that Le's has been somewhat restrained recently?" ”

Princess Liu said: "Le's has been smart recently, no longer so flamboyant and domineering, no one cares about it, recently the concubine is recuperating, she has managed the house well, the concubine thinks that since she is willing to do it, she will share some unimportant things with her and keep her busy, so that it can be a lot easier." ”

The queen said: "Her temperament can help you manage the palace?" ”

Princess Liu said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, this is called wanting to capture and indulge, don't give her a chance to toss, don't indulge her ambitions, how to catch her handle, besides, instead of letting her block me every day, it's better to keep her busy and save some energy." ”

The queen smiled and said: "That's thinking long-term, You'er is also a blessing to have you by your side!" ”

Princess Liu said with a sad face: "The prince may think so, if my father is so insistent on going his own way, I am afraid that my niece will also suffer." ”

The queen said, "Hey, your father is indeed stubborn, but he hasn't reached that step yet. ”

Princess Liu said: "Auntie, you don't know that my niece has gone to my father's place before I come to you again, I wanted to talk to my father, but I ended up unhappy, and my heart is still uncomfortable, you said that I am not my father's biological child, how can my father be so ruthless." Saying that, Princess Liu had tears.

The queen said: "How can you be a stupid child, the entire Liu family belongs to your father who loves you the most, this time I am afraid that your father has something unspeakable to hide, you don't have to go to your heart." With that, the queen patted the back of Princess Liu's hand for relief.

But she won't say the real situation at all, after all, she can't let her know about that incident, and this worry and panic can only be suffered by the queen alone, but she doesn't know what kind of situation this will be in the end.

Princess Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Auntie, you are my father's sister and the queen, do you know what my father is for?" If he had such an idea from the beginning, then why did he marry my niece to the prince? ”

As soon as Princess Liu's words came out, the queen was a little shocked and said: "Can you say this kind of thing casually, your father is not only the prime minister of the dynasty, but also You'er's own uncle, even if there is a political disagreement, it will not be ・・・・・ it will not be as unbearable as you think... The queen was a little uneasy, saying something she didn't believe.

And Princess Liu also had no choice, only the queen could still find some comfort and said: "I don't want to think about it niece, but after that incident, I feel uncomfortable when I think that I may have to make a choice between my father and the prince one day, what should I do, aunt... Saying that, Princess Liu cried and ran to the queen, lying directly on the queen's lap and crying sadly.

The queen was also tormented in her heart, and she was more dilemma and frightened than Princess Liu. In the days after that, she didn't dare to think about what the result would be if this was really antagonistic, she didn't dare to think and couldn't think about it, with her current honorary status, she couldn't afford to lose.

Looking at Princess Liu, who was crying sadly on her lap, she empathized and said: "Child, my aunt also knows that you are in trouble, but my aunt has no choice but to pray that day will not come, if... If that day really can't avoid you, you will remember... From now on, you must be prepared with both hands... ”

Princess Liu, who was crying on the queen's lap, seemed to hear something: "Auntie, what do you mean, is it, is it, father, he is really ・・・・・" Speaking of the back, Princess Liu was already frightened by herself.

The queen smiled slightly: "No, there won't be that day, the palace won't allow it." ”

Looking at the queen's acquiescence to her own conjecture and such an indifferent and firm appearance, Princess Liu was terrified, and her father was afraid that it would be bad for her father, could it be as she thought, her father had a different heart, but what was the killing intent that flashed in her aunt's eyes?

Looking at Princess Liu's tearful and frightened expression, the queen then said leisurely: "Xuehui, it is normal to sacrifice a person for the reputation and honor of the entire Liu family, you must understand that your father is not only your father, and this palace is not just the queen's mother, and you are not just Liu Xuehui, if it really comes to that time, this palace can no longer show mercy." ”

The queen said lightly, as if she was chattering, but Princess Liu listened to it thrillingly, since the queen's aunt did not shy away from saying this, she understood that she was reminding her that if there was such a thing, she would have to make a choice and sacrifice, and the words sounded like she was going to sacrifice her father.

The queen looked at the stunned Princess Liu and said: "It's just a choice, you are still young and have a lot of blessings to enjoy, and You'er can afford it, as for what will happen to this matter, the palace can't control it, or then you should be your princess Yong first and then think about the rest." ”

Princess Liu understood when she heard this, and this was the answer given by the queen.

It's just that I was entangled and worried for so long and suddenly got the answer, but for Princess Liu, I couldn't be happy, after all, the nurturing grace of more than ten years is still there, is it really as the saying goes, 'How ruthless is the heavenly family'?

In fact, Princess Liu also had her own plans in her heart, but the etiquette education she had been receiving made her not dare to make such a decision lightly, she thought a lot during this time, and she could almost foresee what the consequences would be if her father really did that, although she still couldn't understand what her father was for, but the voice of self-preservation in her heart became more and more obvious.

Although she is the daughter of the prime minister, she must be favored in a thousand ways in the eyes of outsiders, but the situation is not as outsiders think, she is favored by her mother, but if she talks about her father, she only has memories of being a teenager, because when she was a child, her father was almost so busy that he couldn't see anyone at all.

Later, after the palace had the intention of marrying her as a princess, her father slowly paid attention to her, although her father did treat her very well in recent years, but after all, the gap between hot and cold before and after still had a gap in her heart, and later she married the most prominent invisible prince of the dynasty, of course, her father was happy, but the relationship was slowly restored to the past.
