I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Chaofeng Palace

After seeing Leng Yifei and his family off, Luo Nianxi felt indescribably relieved.

No matter what, as long as Mo Xiaowan agrees to stay, Jinyu will be happy.

Since Jinyu was happy, she no longer worried about her.

Now she only has Jinjie as her child...

Thinking of Jinjie, she suddenly frowned.

As far as she could remember, it seemed like she hadn't seen Jinjie for a few days.

Although he has been busy helping Leng Yiyan handle official business recently, he shouldn't be so busy that he doesn't even have time to greet her!

"Bai Lan..."

She called out, and Bai Lan walked in quickly.

"My lady..."

"Is the prince busy lately?"

Bai Lan hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"Our Pingyang country is peaceful and prosperous, and there are not many memorials to the emperor. He...should not be too busy."

"Then why haven't I seen him for a few days?"

"This one……"

Bai Lan shook her head in confusion.

"How about I go and call the prince over?"

"Don't shout. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go to Dongyang Palace to see him. The emperor has been unwell these days, and he has been responsible for all the matters in the court. He must be very tired."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked slowly towards Dongyang Palace with Bai Lan.

Leng Yiyan had just discussed with her yesterday, asking her to find a suitable marriage for Jinjie as soon as possible, and then hand over the throne to him so that he could accompany her for the rest of her life.

She thought that after arriving at Dongyang Palace, she would talk to him about this matter when he was not busy.

She could never have imagined that at this moment, Jinjie was snuggling in the back garden with the little palace maid Camellia, saying sweet words to each other.

"Your Highness, tomorrow Nanny Wu will ask me to work at the laundry department. I may not be able to come to see you often."

"Why? Why do you want to go to the laundry?"

"Because I offended Madam Wu with my words today. She is a person who never forgets her grudges. She is also the head madam in the palace..."

"I'll go tell her later that I'll let you stay in Dongyang Palace."

"But...but what's your reason?"

Camellia raised her head and looked at him with innocent eyes.

"Your Highness, I think we can't be so sneaky anymore. If the Emperor or the Queen finds out, I'll be finished. Let's just separate!"

At this point, Camellia raised her sleeves, wiped her tears, and started to cry.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Jinjie panicked for a moment, "Chahua, don't worry, I will tell my mother later that I like you and I want to marry you as my crown princess."

"really?"

Camellia suddenly burst into laughter.

"Will you really tell the Queen? But what if she disagrees?"

"No, my mother loves me the most, and she is the most reasonable. As long as I like someone, she will like him/her too."

"Your Highness..."

Camellia leaned on him, her face full of happiness, but her eyes no longer had the purity that should be in her age.

When Luo Nianxi arrived at Dongyang Palace, Jinjie happened to come back from outside.

He hurried forward and saluted.

"I pay my respects to my mother. How did you find time to come to Dongyang Palace?"

She looked at him tenderly.

"My mother saw that you were very busy recently and didn't come to pay your respects to me. I wanted to come and see you."

Jinjie scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"I'm ashamed, but I'm a bit busy lately. I hope you can forgive me, mother."

"Mother is just joking with you. Please sit down. Mother has something to tell you."

"Mother, I have something to tell you."

"Then you say it first."

"Speak first, mother. Your son's affairs are not urgent."

Luo Nianxi took the tea he handed over, took a sip, put down the teacup, and said directly:

"You know that your father is in poor health. He mentioned to me that he wanted to pass the throne to you. However, since ancient times, there has been a rule that one should get married first and then establish a career, so your mother is thinking that it's time to find a suitable crown princess for you."

"Mother..."

Seeing her talking about this, Jinjie seemed a little excited.

"Mother, you don't need to worry about this matter. I already have someone I love."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi also became interested.

"Oh? Which lady is it? Tell mother quickly."

Jinjie gave a somewhat awkward smile.

"She's not a lady from some family, she's... she's just a palace maid."

Palace maid?

Luo Nianxi's brows were twisted into a knot in an instant.

Although her thoughts were not so conservative, she was somewhat surprised that Jinjie was in love with a palace maid.

"Jinjie, marriage is not a joke. The person you want to marry must be virtuous, just, and generous, and someone who can take on the position of queen in the future. You can't just marry anyone casually."

"Mother, I heard that this little maid is not an ordinary maid. She is very interesting. At first, she thought I was a eunuch and became good friends with me. Later, when she knew I was the crown prince, she did not ask me to marry her. She is different from ordinary women. She is dignified and generous. She does not care about gains and losses. She never accepts the expensive gifts I give her. She is also very kind and often feeds the wild cats in the palace that no one wants."

After hearing what Jing Jinjie said, Luo Nianxi became very interested in this little palace maid.

If she is really as good as Jinjie said, perhaps she can convince the emperor and help Jinjie get what he wants.

"Then bring her here when you have time, so that Mother can meet her."

"Okay, she is in Dongyang Palace now. I will go and call her."

As he spoke, Jinjie ran out impatiently, but Bai Lan said in a worried voice:

"Your Highness, since His Highness is young and kind-hearted, it is inevitable that he will be controlled by the maids in the harem. You must keep an eye on His Highness."

Luo Nianxi's lips curved slightly, and she nodded with a smile.

"Of course. The position of the Crown Princess is not something that anyone can take. But then again, if this maid is really as dignified and generous as Jinjie said, I would like to let her take care of Jinjie."

Before she could finish her words, Jinjie ran in holding Chahua's hand.

His face was filled with joy, which made Luo Nianxi a little worried.

She took a look at the young palace maid. She was pretty and tall, but her eyes lacked the spirit that should be present at her age.

She came to Luo Nianxi, knelt on her knees, kowtowed,

"Hail, Queen."

"Well, get up!"

Jinjie hurried forward and pulled her.

"My mother asked you to stand up. Hurry up and let me take a good look at you."

Judging from Jinjie's expression, he seemed to be very satisfied with this little palace maid, and seemed to be looking forward to her getting the approval of his mother.

Camellia obediently stood up from the ground, folded her hands on her chest, and stood there with her body tensed.

Although she had imagined the scene of the prince taking her to meet the queen countless times before, she couldn't help but feel nervous when she actually saw it.

"Keep your head up."

Luo Nianxi squinted her eyes and looked at her. When she looked up, she asked again, "What's your name?"

"My name is Chahua, and I am a maid in the side hall of Dongyang Palace."

"Well, I heard that you and His Highness have feelings for each other?"

Hearing this, Camellia tightened her lips and replied timidly:

"I dare not have such extravagant hopes. I only hope to be able to stay with Your Highness for the rest of my life and take care of Him."

The more he heard such words, the happier Jinjie felt. He also became more convinced that Chahua was a person who regarded fame, wealth and status as dirt.

He also did not forget to speak well of her in front of Luo Nianxi.

"Mother, I'm right, right? Camellia is really different from other girls. She doesn't seek fame or wealth, she only wants to take care of me."

Luo Nianxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded:

"Okay, since she has this idea, let her be your bed girl! Although she is not a proper master, it is much better than being a little palace maid."
