After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 640: Palace Banquet (Edited)

Qian Duoduo nodded slightly, then raised his head gently and slowly.

Although she was full of curiosity and anticipation, she was well aware of the palace rules - she must never look the queen in the eye.

However, she had to maintain an appropriate posture so that the Queen could see her face clearly.

The Queen Mother was seen sitting upright on the phoenix chair with a dignified demeanor, her eyes looking lovingly at Qian Duoduo.

After a moment, the Queen raised her lips slightly and said softly:

"Well, that's right. You've become more and more clever and obedient. Come, come over here quickly.

It has been a long time since we last parted, and I miss you all the time. When you have time in the future, ask your mother to bring you to my place often, so that you can accompany me and relieve my boredom.

Hearing the Queen's kind words, Qian Duoduo showed a well-behaved and sweet smile on her face, and walked slowly to the Queen with light lotus steps.

She lowered her eyes and listened quietly to every word of the Queen.

Upon seeing this, the Queen stood up with a smile, walked forward and gently held Qian Duoduo's little hand.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he felt the warmth coming from the Queen's palm.

Then, the Queen took off an exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist without hesitation and put it on Qian Duoduo's slender wrist.

Qian Duoduo looked at the bracelet that suddenly appeared on his wrist, his eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly declined:

"Your Majesty, this bracelet is too valuable. I dare not accept it!"

The Queen waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's not expensive at all. It's just a small piece of jewelry. Just wear it with peace of mind."

At this moment, Madam Yang, who had been standing quietly on one side, hurriedly stepped forward. After taking two quick steps, she was able to clearly see what the Queen had given her.

When she looked closely, she instantly recognized that it was the beloved bracelet that the Empress wore on her wrist all year round! Madam Yang's heart was shocked, and her face was full of disbelief.

She had never expected that the Queen would be so magnanimous and generous as to give such a rare and precious bracelet as a reward to her own daughter without hesitation.

Although the two had a good relationship, they had never exchanged such expensive gifts in order to avoid being noticed.

Now the Queen Mother gave the bracelet that she had worn all year round to her little daughter without hesitation. Although we don't know what the Queen Mother was thinking, it is still against the rules.

Madam Yang bowed with deep fear and said earnestly:

"My Queen, this bracelet is too valuable. I dare not accept it! I am already grateful for your love and care for me.

In fact, you only need to give her some delicious food from the palace, because this child is usually quite greedy and really doesn't deserve such a priceless gift! I hope the Queen can take back her order."

"Just let her accept it. I've said it's not something valuable, so just think of it as a little gift I give to my daughter-in-law in advance.

Well, don't listen to your mother, go back and sit down, we will go to the banquet hall together later."

The other imperial concubines were already accustomed to the Queen's special care for Madam Yang, but they did not expect that even Madam Yang's daughter would be favored. Although some people were a little disdainful,

I thought that the Queen Mother was trying to please Madam Yang, but when I heard that her daughter was the future daughter-in-law of the royal family, I was a little unresponsive for a moment.

There were still some people who reacted quickly and immediately thought of the Fourth Prince.

"That's right, Madam Yang! You and your daughter should stop refusing and accept this bracelet immediately!

You have to know that our extremely noble Fourth Prince, who has made outstanding military achievements, has experienced countless battles on the battlefields. What kind of rare treasures has he not seen?

What's a mere bracelet?

I think he will give your daughter more precious and rare treasures in the future! So, just treat it as a mother-in-law showing her affection to her daughter-in-law in advance, haha..."

The tone of the person who said this was not very friendly, and there was a strong sense of sarcasm between the lines.

What is even more surprising is that this person dared to disregard the Queen's dignity so blatantly. He was simply so audacious and presumptuous to the extreme!

Qian Duoduo was slightly surprised when he heard these words. He secretly wondered who this arrogant person was and how he dared to slander the Queen in public.

"Shufei, if you can speak, then speak more. If you can't speak, then shut up. No one thinks you are dumb. Since you like to talk so much, you can speak more when you are in front of the emperor, and tell him what I said."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward. No one dared to speak loudly or take over the Queen's words on behalf of the concubine.

Concubine Shu was really indignant. She thought to herself: Since she was unable to give birth to a prince, it would be a good idea to marry her niece to the princes.

In this way, even if the niece is not favored in the future, at least the family can have some relationship with the royal family; if the niece is lucky enough to be favored, it will be icing on the cake.

However, although this idea was good, Concubine Shu knew the limits and was afraid that she would act too radically and incur the emperor's disgust.

After all, Concubine Shu was clear-headed. The reason she was able to take the position of Imperial Concubine was due to two reasons:

First, she had no children and posed no threat to other princes; second, her mother's family was weak and unable to provide her with strong support.

It was for this reason that His Majesty appointed her as a noble concubine without hesitation, and even the Empress had nothing to say about it.

So, Concubine Shu began to plan carefully.

After careful consideration and selection, she finally set her sights on the Fourth Prince.

Although the fourth prince is not an outstanding and unrivaled person, fortunately his character is not as frightening as those princes who are too aggressive.

Moreover, more importantly, the Fourth Prince was once the Empress's son. With this relationship, he would surely receive more care in the palace in the future.

Everything seems to have been arranged properly, waiting for the right time to come.

But who would have thought that when Concubine Shu mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother with great joy, she was ruthlessly rejected by the Queen Mother!

Not only that, the Queen even took it upon herself to choose the daughter of her best friend as the marriage partner for the Fourth Prince.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and it made Concubine Shu so angry that she almost passed out.

That’s right, Concubine Shu thought that the Fourth Prince’s marriage to the daughter of the Yang family was something that the Empress had fought for.
