Chapter 44 Very Unhappy

When the queen heard Shangguan Qing'er's words, there was a flash of pity in her eyes, but seeing her wipe all the tears on her clothes so indescribably, her face became ugly again.

If it wasn't for her own image, she would have almost pushed Shangguan Qing'er away.This dead girl, I hugged her kindly, but she actually...

Seeing this, Xia Yulin gave Shangguan Qing'er a disdainful look, and muttered, "Huh, this is really uneducated, and the empress's clothes dare to be dirty..."

Concubine De, Concubine Xue, Concubine Rong and the others also showed expressions of disdain, obviously agreeing with Xia Yulin's words in their hearts.

Concubine Shu was still indifferent, without any expression, but when her eyes fell on Shangguan Qing'er, her eyes became slightly darker.

Only the corners of Murong Lian's mouth twitched, sweating because of Shangguan Qing'er's daring behavior.This dead girl really doesn't want to live anymore, if the queen gets angry, even Xia Jinhan may not be able to save her.

Murong Lian was thinking of a way to take Shangguan Qing'er away when she heard a cold and majestic voice coming from the door.

"Qing'er, are you disobedient again?" Xia Jinhan's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then, wearing a python robe, he stepped into Fengxiang Hall step by step under the sunlight.

Hearing Xia Jinhan's voice, both Murong Lian and Shangguan Qinger breathed a sigh of relief, while the queen looked at Xia Jinhan helplessly.

"Brother Jin..." Shangguan Qing'er turned his head and saw Xia Jinhan striding towards him, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

Xia Jinhan directly stepped forward and hugged Shangguan Qing'er from the empress's arms. Seeing that she was fine, she saluted the empress, "I will see the empress."

"See His Highness the Crown Prince." Those present who were lower than Xia Jinhan all stood up and saluted.

"Get up, you don't need to be too polite." The queen waved her hand, looked at Xia Jinhan with a cold face, and said, "Come here, hurry up and show your Highness a seat."

After finishing speaking, the empress laughed again, "Why did Han'er come down so early today?" The Longteng Hall, where he went up to court, is a long way from here. He came so soon?

"There is no major matter in the court, so my son came out first. I didn't expect Qing'er to cause trouble for my mother, and I hope my mother will forgive me." Xia Jinhan replied lightly, but there was a hint of warning in his tone.

The queen was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Jinhan's cold attitude, but she also knew Xia Jinhan's temperament. He had clearly said that Shangguan Qing'er had a special status, so don't contact her if you have nothing to do, lest she become a target of public criticism.So the queen has never looked for Shangguan Qing'er.

The reason why she suddenly changed her mind today was because Concubine De and Concubine Rong said a few more words in her ear, which made her suspicious.Now that I think about it, my actions seem to make my son unhappy.

Therefore, the queen nodded with a smile, "Qing'er is very cute, and the queen mother likes it very much. The prince may not have eaten here for a long time, and it will be lunch time, why don't you stay with Qing'er?" Come down and have dinner with your mother, shall we?"

Xia Jinhan frowned slightly, then nodded, "Then I will arrange it according to my mother, but this little girl is a bit ignorant of the rules, I hope my mother doesn't mind."

Seeing that Xia Jinhan didn't mind Shangguan Qing'er's tears and snot at all, and even treated her with unprecedented tenderness, the queen nodded with a smile, "Qing'er is the child raised by your side. Although he is not yet sensible, he is a very smart and lovely child. It's too late for me to like it." After finishing speaking, he said to the maid next to him, "Come here, go and prepare lunch, I want to have a good chat with the crown prince and Qing'er today."

When the other concubines heard the words, they also knew that the queen was issuing an order to evict guests. Although Concubine De, Concubine Rong and Xia Yulin were not satisfied with the result, they didn't dare to say more when Xia Jinhan was here, and they bowed quietly and left.

The maids and eunuchs in Fengxiang Palace were very efficient in handling affairs, and none of them who worked beside the queen was not a smart person, and they all did things with ingenuity.

Lunch was ready soon, and all kinds of delicious dishes filled the entire Eight Immortals table.The craftsmanship of the top royal chef in the palace is extraordinary, and the delicacies on the table are all delicious in color, fragrance and taste, which makes people's index fingers move.

When Shangguan Qing'er's big watery eyes saw the delicious food, they immediately became sparkling.

Xia Jinhan, who was sitting beside her, looked at her greedy expression, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and secretly squeezed her little hand wrapped like a rice dumpling, hinting that she should pay attention to her image.

Shangguan Qing'er looked up at Xia Jinhan with an innocent face, because it was in the Queen's Palace, there was no high chair tailored for her here, she was too short, her head protruded from the chair, even those who I can only see a little bit of deliciousness, I am really upset.

How could Xia Jinhan not know what she was thinking?However, he also had a purpose to stay here for dinner today.

Xia Jinhan looked at the queen sitting across from her in a calm and graceful manner, and said, "It's been a long time since I had a meal with my mother, is my mother hungry?"

Hearing Xia Jinhan's thoughtful question, the queen's expression softened a lot, she smiled lightly, and said gracefully, "Han'er is hungry too, eat quickly." After finishing speaking, she sighed again, " You are also busy these days, but you should pay more attention to your body. There is no woman around to take care of you, and the queen mother is really worried about you."

Hearing this, Xia Jinhan froze for a moment, then took the bowls and chopsticks, picked up some of Shangguan Qinger's favorite meat, lowered his head while feeding Shangguan Qinger, and said, "My child is an adult, not a child anymore, I will take good care of myself Yes. Besides, doesn’t the baby have a queen mother?”

How could Xia Jinhan fail to understand what the queen said?Don't you just want him to marry a wife quickly?It's just that he has no plans to marry a wife for the time being...

The queen was taken aback by Xia Jinhan bending over to feed Shangguan Qing'er, her eyes widened, she stared blankly at his natural and graceful movements, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.

The maid behind the queen was also frightened by Xia Jinhan's actions, and it took a while to recover, and she stepped forward respectfully, "Your Highness, let the servants come."

Xia Jinhan frowned slightly, and shook her head, "No need, I will do it myself."

The maid looked at the queen in surprise, and when she saw the queen beckoning her to back down with her eyes, she lowered her head and backed away quietly.

The queen's sharp eyes looked at Shangguan Qing'er who was eating with gusto, and Xia Jinhan who was still indifferent, but there was a little more tenderness between his brows, always felt that this scene was very dazzling.

Her son has never been so kind to anyone.Not to mention that he is a crown prince, even concubines in the palace rarely do such a thing for their own children.No matter how you look at it, the crown prince's love for Shangguan Qing'er seems a little too much, which makes her mother a little displeased.

"Ahem..." The Queen coughed dryly, then laughed suddenly, "The Queen Mother doesn't know that you like Han'er so much."
