Chapter 372: Did You Quarrel?
Jiang Qiancheng quickly sorted out the expression on his face and his mood, let himself walk in front of the queen mother as calmly as possible, and after saluting her respectfully, he sat down next to Jiang Qianbai at her signal.
When the queen mother saw that the people who came in only wanted Jiang Qiancheng, and there was no more Qingming, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What about Qingming?" Why didn't she come back here with you? What did she do? ”
"She bought a mansion and is now cleaning it with someone, and she doesn't know about you here, so it may take a little later to come back."
Jiang Qiancheng's tone of speech in front of the queen mother was still respectful, which was different from his usual cold tone, and it was also different from his usual attitude towards those concubines in the palace, and the reason was very simple, that is, because Yue Qingming was about to become the queen mother's righteous daughter soon, then the queen mother was Yue Qingming's stepmother, and naturally she was also her own stepmother, although Jiang Qiancheng did not like the queen mother very much before, but since Yue Qingming had made a choice, and the queen mother had also come here, That naturally needs to be respected for her.
Jiang Qianbai, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on his face, it was really difficult to see Jiang Qiancheng actually showing such respect for people, if it weren't for Yue Qingming, even if Jiang Qiancheng saw the queen mother here, the expression on his face should be disdainful.
The queen mother nodded, indicating that she knew, and then asked Jiang Qianbai to go out to order, and waited here for a while, feeling a little hungry, taking advantage of this opportunity to come out to find Yue Qingming, she also happened to want to taste the delicious food in Mingyue Tower, I heard that the things made by the chefs here are better than those made by the imperial chefs in the palace.
After Jiang Qianbai obediently went out, there were only two people left in the private room, the queen mother and Jiang Qiancheng, and the serious expression on the queen mother's face was more obvious, she looked at Jiang Qiancheng and said, "This palace heard Qianbai say, you are Qingming's sweetheart, right?" ”
Jiang Qiancheng replied without hesitation, "Yes." ”
The queen mother squinted her eyes and looked Jiang Qiancheng up and down, the queen mother was still shocked when she heard about this matter at first, after all, she originally wanted to match Jiang Qianbai and Yue Qingming together, but at that time, the two of them refused this matter without hesitation, but at that time, the queen mother did not expect that the person Yue Qingming liked would actually be Jiang Qiancheng, although he is a prince, even if there is a fief, but his identity in the imperial city is embarrassing, She felt that Jiang Qiancheng was incapable of protecting Yue Qingming well, and she didn't want to let a righteous daughter that she had so hard to get destroyed in Jiang Qiancheng's hands.
Besides, Jiang Qiancheng can stay in the imperial city now because of the emperor's will, if the emperor suddenly remembers that Jiang Qiancheng actually has a fief, and then asks him to go back to his fief, when the time comes, will he ask for the order to continue to stay in the imperial city, or leave Yue Qingming to go back to his fief, or let Yue Qingming give up the things she has accumulated in the imperial city and follow him back to his fief?
Therefore, now the queen mother's eyes are not very friendly when she looks at Jiang Qiancheng, and she is still seriously doubting whether Jiang Qiancheng has the ability to protect Yue Qingming, if he does not have this ability, he can help Yue Qingming find a powerful person in the imperial city who is willing to be good to her to protect Yue Qingming.
And Jiang Qiancheng was looked at by the queen mother with such eyes, in fact, he was not very comfortable, but he couldn't act as if he was very uncomfortable with such a feeling, so he could only sit there for the time being, and only hoped that Jiang Qianbai, who went out, could come back to it soon.
However, after going out, Jiang Qianbai didn't plan to continue to go in, and he didn't like to stay with the queen mother very much, if it weren't for the fact that it was for the more Qingming thing, he wouldn't have appeared here at the same time as the queen mother, since they had already come out, it was natural to stay outside for a while and then go back, he had actually been curious for a long time, how did those special dishes in Mingyue Tower come out, so now Jiang Qianbai is watching those cooks cooking in the back kitchen.
And Jiang Qiancheng, who was still sitting in the private room at this time, was infinitely emotional, why hasn't Jiang Qianbai come back yet? Why hasn't Yue Qingming come back yet? He sat alone with the queen mother, and it felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!
The queen mother looked at Jiang Qiancheng and said: "You also know that Qingming is my righteous daughter now, I have also told Your Majesty about this matter, and I am discussing whether to give Qingming the identity of a county lord, after all, with such an identity, it is more convenient for her to do things in the imperial city." But you, now your identity in the imperial city is so embarrassing, and the old fox of Prime Minister Liu seems to mean something to you, and wants to win you over, and Qianbai and Prime Minister Liu belong to different factions, if you get close to Prime Minister Liu, it's better not to get too close to Qingming. ”
Jiang Qiancheng subconsciously clenched his fists and refuted the queen mother's words: "The queen mother misunderstood, I didn't get very close to Prime Minister Liu Cheng, I just talked a few times, I think differently from him, naturally there is no common language, and in the end, it is natural to break up unhappily, Niangniang can rest assured, I will never stand on the opposite side of Yue Qingming." As for my identity, I'll find a way to settle this matter. ”
"How are you going to fix it?"
"I naturally have a way to solve a problem, but I can't tell you for the time being," Jiang Qiancheng said lightly: "And about Yue Qingming's matter, I don't think she wants to see you become her stepmother and interfere in her emotional affairs, what she hates most is other people's self-righteous meddling." ”
"You!"
The queen mother slapped the table violently, stared at Jiang Qiancheng with her eyes, and said angrily: "Are you blaming this palace for being too involved in Yue Qing's affairs?" ”
Jiang Qiancheng suddenly laughed, and then said, "I'm just reminding the queen mother, why is the queen so excited?" Aren't you just taking your own seat? ”
"Jiang Qiancheng!"
Just when the queen wanted to be angry, the door of the private room was suddenly opened, Yue Qingming stood at the door with a smile on her face, Jiang Qiancheng and the queen mother in the private room, seeing that the expressions on the faces of the two of them were a little not good, Yue Qingming asked, "What's wrong with you?" Got into a fight? ”
