Chapter 248: True Identity
Today's weather is fine, and I heard that the peonies in the imperial garden are blooming beautifully, the queen thinks that she is fine, and in the past few days, she has been bored in the palace for a long time because of Minyue and her relatives, so she left the palace and went to the imperial garden to breathe.
The henchman who was waiting with him whispered: "The queen seems to be in a good mood today? β
"Yes, somewhat." The queen sighed and said, "Actually, I still don't want to accept that Yue'er is going to marry far away, you said that the little prince of Chu State, a person with a bad reputation, must be arrogant and domineering in his usual behavior, he is a willful person, but Qiaoyue'er is too, if the two meet and get married, what can I do if I can't get along in the future?" β
The more the queen thought about it, the more she felt a headache.
"Yue'er will definitely be sad and scared in a place like Chu where she is unfamiliar with life."
The queen wanted to keep Minyue, but she couldn't find a reason, after all, let Minyue and her relatives be the time of the Chu State to personally bring it up, although she is the mother of a country, but not everything can be interjected.
When the queen was upset, she happened to pass by a rockery and happened to hear the sound of someone talking.
She clearly heard someone say Minyue's name!
The grandmother on her side was annoyed when she heard it, the queen usually hates people talking about the royal family in private, let alone talking about her favorite daughter!
That's no different from looking for death!
Mama was about to go out to teach the two broken-mouthed palace maids a lesson, but before she could take a step, the queen grabbed her, and motioned her with her eyes not to go over, and continued to listen to their words.
The helpless grandmother had no choice but to retreat.
They originally thought that the two palace maids were just talking about the long and short things in the palace, and they just pulled the twelve princesses and Princess Minyue out alone to argue about who was better, as they did in the past, but they never thought that what the two little maids were talking about was that Princess Minyue and Song Jie, the envoy of the Chu State, had a personal affair!
As they spoke, the expression on the queen's face became more and more ugly.
"I'm really not fooling you, I've seen it with my own eyes, I saw the envoy take the princess's hand, and the princess didn't shake it off...... She even broke up all the palace people who were with her! Two people are alone in private, holding hands, not having a personal relationship, what else can it be? β
The queen gritted a mouthful of silver teeth.
At the same time, Toshitsuki is unaware that she is experiencing some danger.
She was still talking to Song Jie in the pavilion, openly and secretly inquiring about everything related to the little prince.
"You say it's fake that he started slashing people?"
Song Jie patted his chest and said as if assured: "This matter is absolutely fake, the little prince once told me about this matter, he said that those things were arranged by others to discredit his reputation, even if he kills someone, he doesn't need to do it himself, right?" It's a prince of a country, and you can't even find a subordinate who is willing to be loyal, right? β
That's right.
Min Yue nodded matter-of-factly, and when she finished asking all the words, she realized that Song Jie didn't ask a word.
"By the way, didn't you just say that when you came to the palace to see me this time, in addition to giving me a gift, there is one more thing you want to tell me personally, why haven't you said it until now?"
Song Jie smiled bitterly.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he doesn't know how to talk about it.
Looking at Min Yue's appearance, it seems that there is no doubt about his identity at all, if he suddenly confesses that he is the little prince she has been inquiring about, what if she is too thin-skinned and angry?
Song Jie showed an expression of wanting to speak several times, he hadn't figured out a reason yet, Min Yue was dissatisfied first, she usually hated the kind of person who was spitting and not acting decisively.
She directly patted Song Jie on the shoulder and said, "Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed, everyone is an acquaintance, since you are a friend of Sister Bingyu, then you are also my friend, between friends, you don't need to be polite!" β
There is no need to be polite between friends, for a moment, Song Jie really felt as if he was moved by this little princess.
"Since the princess doesn't mind, then I'll be blunt-"
"What are you doing?"
At the moment when Song Jie was about to open his mouth to confess his identity, the queen came in a hurry with a group of palace people, and she saw Minyue putting her hand on Song Jie's shoulder from a distance, and for a while she only felt that she was so angry that she was smoking.
Because this matter is very important, and if it is spread out, it will not only lose Minyue's own face, but it will also affect the face of the royal family, so before the queen walked over, she ordered her subordinates to stop, and she wanted to go over by herself.
The palace people naturally knew the truth that the more they understood, the faster they would die, and as soon as they heard that the queen would not let them pass, their steps froze in place, and they hated to come out without ears and eyes.
And the queen walked quickly towards the place where Minyue and Song Jie were, and walked over violently.
"What are you two doing here?"
Although Song Jie has never seen the queen, from the queen's similar appearance to Minyue, Song Jie can guess the identity of the other party, this must be Minyue's biological mother.
Be respectful of your mother-in-law.
"Weichen meets the queen."
Unexpectedly, the queen didn't even bother to look at him more, and all her eyes stayed on Min Yue's hand.
Min Yue also noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly withdrew her hand: "Queen Mother, things are not what you think!" β
"Can't what you see with your own eyes become true?" The queen seemed to be many years old for a moment, and the spirit of the whole person was not very good.
"Yue'er, you said before that you were willing to marry the little prince of Chu State, and this palace also promised you, but you, but you...... You are too ignorant, since you have promised to marry, you should not mix with other people in a daze, you must know that if this matter spreads, it will disgrace the royal family! And this is probably not good for you to marry into the Chu State! β
When Min Yue heard this, her already bad face turned even pale.
"Queen Mother, I know, I will pay attention to proportions in the future."
At this time, even a fool can see that the queen has misunderstood the relationship between herself and Minyue, looking at Minyue's pale face, Song Jie's angina, simply forgot all the things he promised the royal brother before, and then straightened his waist and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, you have misunderstood, in fact, Princess Minyue and I have more contacts will not affect the relationship between the two countries, because I am Princess Minyue's fiancΓ©, the little prince of Chu." β
As soon as these words came out, the queen and Min Yue were stunned.
They could only see that the envoy in front of them looked extraordinary, but they didn't think that he was pretending to be the little prince of Chu State, and they didn't know what kind of expression he would make for a while.
Or the queen's mind turned quickly, and after she eased her emotions, she opened her mouth to ask if it was true or false: "Are you really the little prince of Chu State?" β
"Exactly." Song Jie said as he took out a jade pendant from his waist, "This jade pendant is enough to prove my identity." β
