After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Qin Junyu nodded: "I will live up to your trust, shoulder the responsibility, and fulfill my duties as the Crown Prince."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced sideways and saw that his usually dignified father looked tired, with obvious bags under his eyes and two streaks of white on his temples that were very eye-catching.

Qin Junyu felt inexplicably sad.

"Father." He called out subconsciously.

The emperor turned his head and said, "Hmm?"

He was stunned, his eyes were sharp, and the two men's eyes met for too long, and a hint of awkwardness arose in the atmosphere.

Qin Junyu lowered his eyes quickly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It is said that experts are common among the people. I am going to Jiangnan, and the journey is long. If I can meet a doctor with experience in this area on the road, maybe he can find a way to treat it, and my third brother will definitely get better."

The emperor knew that he was comforting himself. He had heard these words countless times from many people, but only this time did he believe his son's words from the bottom of his heart. Whether he was deceiving himself or truly believed in it, it was just a spiritual sustenance.

The emperor answered and waved his hand, and Qin Junyu stepped back on his own accord.

……

Nian Qiaoyue had only been in Xiangru Palace for a few days when she was isolated led by Hezhu.

That day, Qin Fengtian was making a fuss and refused to eat. No matter how the palace maids tried to persuade him, they failed. He hid under the quilt and refused to see anyone.

"What should we do, Sister Hezhu? The prince refuses to eat. If the Queen finds out, she will definitely blame us." Chunhuan said anxiously.

Xueying was equally worried: "Yes, sister, the Queen Mother instructed us yesterday to coax the prince to eat well. If we don't do it well today, the Queen Mother will definitely have us beaten with a stick."

"Instead of worrying here, why don't we think of a solution together." Qiuyao said impatiently.

Hezhu's eyes rolled and she set her sights on Nian Qiaoyue who was wiping the table in the corner.

Nian Qiaoyue was wiping the table diligently, looking as if it had nothing to do with her and didn't listen to what they were saying.

Hezhu suddenly came over, looked at her with ill intent, and snatched the rag from her hand.

"What are you doing?"

Thinking about what Hezhu had done to her a few days ago, Nian Qiaoyue's tone was not very good.

Hezhu disliked her and targeted her in every way. Her portion of the meal was rotten, and when she returned to the bedroom after a day's work, she found her bed was wet, while Hezhu and her little sisters huddled together and laughed secretly, and so on.

She knew all this, but she endured it all.

Sooner or later, she would return all the pain they had inflicted on her.

He Zhu threw the rag to the ground, crossed her arms over her chest, and said arrogantly, "Stop wiping it, go and coax the prince to eat."

Chunhuan and Xueying surrounded her and stared at her with murderous eyes, as if they were going to attack her if she didn't obey.

Nian Qiaoyue clenched her fists, straightened her back and retorted: "It is your job to accompany the prince for dinner. Why should I do it?" Although she was tough for once, her momentum was still weak.

Chun Huan said disdainfully: "What's your business and my business? Serving the prince is your job, and coaxing the prince to eat is your job. If you dare not do it, you are lazy and slack."

Xueying agreed: "That's right! If we tell the Queen, you will suffer the consequences."

Nian Qiaoyue felt a breath of air stuck in her chest, unable to get it out or down. She bit her lip and glared at Hezhu, her eyes scanning Chunhuan and Xueying one by one.

"Okay, I'll go." Nian Qiaoyue finally swallowed her anger.

Hezhu smiled triumphantly, and the other two smiled equally satisfied.

Only Qiuyao stood aside in silence, with a look of pity in her eyes.

Qin Fengtian covered himself with the quilt, and when he noticed someone approaching, he shrank back further.

Nian Qiaoyue knelt beside the bed, patted his shoulder, and coaxed him gently: "Prince, can we have a meal? If you eat with Guaiguai, I will play house with you later, how about it?"

Playing house was not a difficult task, but Qin Fengtian always asked the person playing with him to be his pet dog, crawl on the ground, and learn to bark like a dog. This game usually lasted a whole day, so no one in Xiangru Palace was willing to play house with him.

Nian Qiaoyue was really determined to give it her all, and even Hezhu was a little surprised.

Sure enough, this trick worked on Qin Fengtian. He turned his head and looked at her aggrievedly.

"What's your name?"

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. The man in front of her was once her beloved, the one she dreamed of marrying, but now that he was so close to her, her eyes were full of sadness.

Nian Qiaoyue smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, just call me Qiaoyue."

Qin Fengtian looked at her timidly, "I... I don't want to eat, I just..."

"What is it?" A little hope ignited in Nian Qiaoyue's heart.

Qin Fengtian crawled out from under the quilt and looked guiltily at the place where he had just sat.

Nian Qiaoyue smelled a strong odor of urine, and there was a spot on the bed that was stained dark.

She wrinkled her nose in disdain.

Hezhu and the other two stretched their necks to look in their direction, and seeing what was happening, one by one they found excuses to slip away.

Nian Qiaoyue looked at Qiuyao helplessly.

Qiuyao's pupils trembled, and she didn't dare to look at her, "I... I'm still cooking porridge in the kitchen, I'll leave first."

Nian Qiaoyue and Qin Fengtian looked at each other.

Nian Qiaoyue wanted to die. It would be fine if her mentality was like that of a three-year-old child, but how come she even brought back the bad habit of...wetting the bed.

She closed her eyes and wanted to give up.

Nian Qiaoyue stood up and wanted to leave, but Qin Fengtian reached out and held her back.

"Sister Qiaoyue, don't leave. Please help me change my clothes. I won't let you play house with me anymore, okay?"

When Nian Qiaoyue turned around, she saw Qin Fengtian with tears in his eyes and a miserable look.

This was the first time she saw Qin Fengtian surrender since she arrived at Xiangru Palace for so many days.

She felt a little bit reluctant.

Qin Fengtian said again: "Sister Qiaoyue, please don't tell mother about this. I will share all the candies with you in the future, okay?"

He looked so well behaved that Nian Qiaoyue couldn't say no.

Finally, she held her breath and changed the bedding and sheets, and took Qin Fengtian to the hot spring to bathe and change clothes. After the whole process, an hour had passed.

Qin Fengtian sat obediently at the dining table, his eyes sparkling.

Nian Qiaoyue had no idea what to do with him, so she picked up the bowl and fed him porridge without complaint, one mouthful after another, and cooperated very well.

Hezhu, Chunhuan and Xueying finally came back at this time. Seeing Qin Fengtian being so obedient, they showed surprise on their faces.

Especially He Zhu, she was usually the one that Qin Fengtian loved the most, but Qin Fengtian had never listened to her like this.

Hezhu was filled with jealousy and she stepped forward and pulled Nian Qiaoyue away, spilling the porridge all over her.

Nian Qiaoyue was already full of anger, and after what she did to her, she completely exploded.

She threw the bowl to the ground and yelled at Hezhu: "Are you sick?"

The quarrel between the two was about to break out.
