After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him
Chapter 85: The Counterfeit Enters the Palace
Emperor Ming took a deep breath and said, "Let them in!"
He wanted to execute Wen directly, but thinking that she was Qianqian's grandmother after all, he forced himself to suppress the impulse.
Not long after, Madam Wen came in trembling with fear, holding Wen Miaoxue in her arms.
It was her first time to come to the palace, and also her first time to enter Emperor Ming's bedroom.
When she was outside the hall, she was almost blinded by the red glazed tiles.
Every object in the palace made her feel new and excited.
So as soon as she entered the door, Madam Wen couldn't help looking around.
If it's like this outside, how luxurious the palace must be.
Sure enough, the symmetrically beautiful palace was magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite murals on the walls, and exquisite carvings could be seen everywhere.
Each and every one of them overwhelmed Old Madam Wen, and she didn't know which one to look at first.
"cough!"
It was only when Eunuch He coughed that the old lady suddenly realized that they were in front of the emperor.
She hurriedly knelt down holding Wen Miaoxue.
"I, the common woman Wen, kowtow to Your Majesty. Long live the emperor..."
Old Madam Wen held Wen Miaoxue and knelt down with difficulty. Only when she heard the deep voice of "Get up" did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She stood up and carefully and quietly raised her eyes to look at the person on the dragon throne.
The anger in Emperor Ming's eyes had not yet dissipated, and the look he gave Madam Wen was even more frightening than his usual intimidating look.
When Old Madam Wen saw that look, she knelt down again.
"careful!"
Emperor Ming didn't even care about his noble status and hurried towards Madam Wen.
Old Madam Wen was immediately surprised.
Your Majesty, does he feel so sorry for a woman like her who has no imperial decree?
She is so lucky!
No, no, her blessing was brought to her by Miaoxue.
The abbot was right. Miaoxue is indeed a lucky star. Anyone who treats her well will be blessed.
However, Madam Wen's joy did not last long, as Emperor Ming took Wen Miaoxue from her arms.
"Qianqian, are you scared?"
"You are such an old woman! You can kneel down if you want, but what if you scare my Qianqian? Can you bear the responsibility?"
Emperor Ming gently patted "Wen Qianqian" on the back to comfort her, while angrily scolding Old Madam Wen.
Old Madam Wen choked.
So Your Majesty was not worried about her just now, but about the child in her arms?
For a moment, Madam Wen felt her cheeks burning with fear because of her thoughts just now.
How embarrassing!
Fortunately, no one else knows what she is thinking.
But compared to embarrassment, Madam Wen felt more fear in her heart.
It seemed that from the moment she entered the door, Emperor Ming's attitude towards her was very bad, as if he had some hostility.
She didn't understand where His Majesty's hostility towards her came from.
Madam Wen swallowed hard and said, "It is I who was disrespectful in front of Your Majesty. I am really ignorant and was frightened by Your Majesty's might... I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Emperor Ming didn't want to argue with Madam Wen, so considering that Qianqian didn't seem scared, he waved his sleeves.
"He Si, take Wen Shi to the side hall and wait. I want to take Qian Qian for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
He could hear Wen Qianqian's inner thoughts, but he didn't intend to tell anyone, including these rootless people.
"Yes."
Eunuch He responded and walked up to Madam Wen with an expressionless face.
"Wen, please!"
Old Madam Wen wanted to talk more with Emperor Ming. Miaoxue was destined to be the empress and would marry the prince in the future, and the man in front of her would be her grandson-in-law.
In terms of seniority, she is one generation older than Emperor Ming.
But since Emperor Ming had already spoken, she didn't dare say anything more. After all, Miaoxue was still young and had never even seen the prince.
There was no other way, so Wen had to thank him and follow He Si out.
Only then did Emperor Ming have time to take a good look at "Wen Qianqian" in his arms.
"Qianqian, are you okay these days? Have you gained weight?"
As Emperor Ming spoke, he opened the swaddling clothes that wrapped "Wen Qianqian".
When the swaddling clothes were opened, a dry little face came into view, completely devoid of the lively look from before.
Not only that, but the skin color has become several shades darker, and the wheat-colored skin looks very rough.
Emperor Ming was stunned and looked carefully at Wen Qianqian's eyebrows.
"No, that's not right... Why did Qianqian become ugly?"
When Mrs. Wen, who had just reached the threshold, heard this, she paused, feeling uneasy and unhappy.
What is ugly?
Her daughter Miaoxue is dignified and beautiful, how can she be associated with the word "ugly"?
Emperor Ming must be old and his eyesight is blurry.
But Emperor Ming is only thirty-eight years old this year, and is not yet at the age of old age.
"No! This isn't Qianqian!"
Just when Madam Wen was complaining about Emperor Ming's lack of vision, she heard Emperor Ming shouting, "Mrs. Wen, come back!"
Madam Wen's back stiffened and she hunched over and turned back.
She pretended to be confused and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Emperor Ming walked up to Madam Wen and pointed at the little girl she was carrying and asked, "Did you pick up the wrong child? This isn't our Qianqian!"
Emperor Ming already treated Wen Qianqian as his own child, and would always call her "our Qianqian".
Madam Wen was nervous, but she had rehearsed it several times in her mind on the way here, so she spoke almost by muscle memory -
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? How could I mistake my own granddaughter? This is Qianqian."
"Impossible! Look at her face, her eyes, her nose, her skin color, nothing about it looks like the last time I saw her. Do you think I'm blind?"
Madam Wen swallowed her saliva and explained calmly, "Your Majesty, you are really mistaken. It is normal for a baby of this month to look different every day. Your Majesty has many princes and princesses, so you should know this, right?"
Emperor Ming had clearly sensed something was wrong, and he patiently asked, "Even if the face can change, how do you explain the color of the skin?"
Mrs. Wen was no longer anxious.
Skin color is the biggest difference between Wen Miaoxue and Wen Qianqian, so she had already thought of an excuse.
"Your Majesty, you may not know that my wife always likes to take the child out to see the scenery. Qianqian got tanned these few days. I will tell my daughter-in-law to stop taking the child out all the time. But don't worry, Qianqian is under my care now. Even if my daughter-in-law wants to go out, I will not let her take Qianqian out."
Madam Wen seemed very sincere, and Emperor Ming became skeptical.
Could it be that children really change every day, so Qianqian is so different now?
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly called Wen Qianqian's name.
"Qianqian, Qianqian, I am your emperor uncle..."
He seemed to be teasing the child, but in fact he was waiting for the response from the child in his arms.
If it was Wen Qianqian, she would definitely respond to me with her heart.
