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

Every time the emperor's uncle came, the queen mother would talk to him alone. Due to the difference in their status, he was very worried, so he asked what the matter was. The queen mother hinted that it was related to the struggle for the throne, and told him not to ask too much.

He never asked again, and just thought that his uncle supported him, so he often had private contacts with his mother.

The queen nodded, and he stepped out, closing the door behind him.

There were only two people left in the room.

Qin Zehai took off his crane cloak and threw it aside. He couldn't wait to hug the queen and said with sincerity, "Second Mother, I missed you so much."

The queen rested her chin on his shoulder, and tears welled up in her eyes when she heard the long-lost "Second Mother". She was the second child in the family, and apart from her parents, he was the only one who would gently call her "Second Mother".

After a year of absence, my heavy longing for you turned into silent tears. No matter how many words I have to say, there is only one sentence left: "It's good that you are back... It's good that you are back."

She thought she would never see him again.

Qin Zehai hugged her tightly, "Second Mother, I'm so afraid this is also a dream, and you'll disappear as soon as I wake up." He leaned against her neck, feeling disappointed, "It's been more than a month since I returned to Beijing, but I didn't dare to come to see you, afraid that you..."

The queen pushed him away, tears welling up in her eyes, "What are you afraid of me for?" She knew the answer in her heart, and turned away with anger, "Are you afraid that I will forget you, afraid that I will fall in love with Qin Zeming?"

She had waited for so long, and there had not been a single day when she had not been worried about him. She had never expected that she was this kind of person in his heart. How could she not be sad?

“Second Mother!” Qin Zehai covered her mouth, “You are so confused! How can you address His Majesty by his name!” He calmed down, held her hand, and comforted her, “Second Mother, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just… I’m afraid that I’ve wronged you by making you wait for me for so long.

Now I have to hide everything from everyone and take the risk of being beheaded. I am not afraid, but you are different. You are the queen and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Why do you have to take risks for me?"

The queen glared at him and pulled his hand away. "I think you are confused. You have been living like this for so many years. Don't you know what I am thinking? If I really felt wronged and followed you, I would not have risked giving birth to Tian'er."

Qin Zehai became even more anxious. "Okay, okay, I won't say such things again. You are not allowed to mention Tian'er's matter again."

The queen was still furious, and Qin Zehai had to use all his persuasion to calm her down.

The two of them leaned against each other, the queen leaned on his shoulder, with an unprecedented innocent look on her face, "Ze Hai, when can we be together openly?"

Qin Zehai seemed to be thinking about something and did not answer immediately.

The queen sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's fine this way. As long as you are fine, I will feel at ease."

They were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and loved each other. Now she has become his sister-in-law. She dare not ask for anything else. As long as he is alive and well, she will be satisfied.

"Second Mother, there will be a chance." Qin Zehai hugged her tighter, "As long as Tian'er takes that position, we won't have to live in fear anymore."

The queen nodded, she thought so too.

That's why she had to be more cautious and act carefully to help her son ascend to the throne.

Qin Zehai was not in a position to stay any longer, so he said a few considerate words, asked the queen to take good care of herself, and then quietly left.

……

Nian Mansion.

"Miss." Zhihua came in excitedly holding a box and put it in front of Nian Susu, looking gossipy, "Miss, come and see what new things His Highness has brought you."

Ever since returning from Xisu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent people to deliver gifts every now and then, either snacks from a newly opened pastry shop in the capital, or some novel little gadgets to relieve boredom.

Although Zhihua was young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women, she could understand a little when she saw the happy and shy expression of the young lady when she received the gift. Moreover, His Highness was always cold to others, but he was so attentive to the young lady, so it was hard for her not to misunderstand.

Nian Susu had no idea what Zhihua was thinking, and opened the box with anticipation.

I wonder what Qin Junyu will give her this time.

The box was opened, and inside lay a magnolia hairpin.

She was a little surprised. Qin Junyu had never given her any jewelry before, but she didn't expect it to be a hairpin.

She picked it up carefully and examined it carefully. The jade was transparent, the patterns were intricately carved, and the magnolia was lifelike. It was obvious that it was carved by a skilled jade craftsman.

"Wow, this hairpin is so beautiful." Zhihua's eyes widened. She didn't know much about jade, but she had seen many gold and jade ornaments worn by ladies and could tell the good ones from the bad ones. But this was the first time she had seen such clear jade.

"Young lady likes to wear plain colors, which is perfect for this hairpin. Your Highness really understands Young Lady!"

Hearing this, Nian Susu turned the hairpin, and a sweet smile appeared in her eyes.

"Eh? Miss, there's a note underneath." Zhihua has sharp eyes. The size of the note fits the box perfectly and it's upside down, so if you don't look closely, you can easily mistake it for a paper pad.

Nian Susu's interest moved and he took out the note.

Qin Junyu's calligraphy is very distinctive, with strong strokes, thin dots and strokes, strong bones, and fast strokes. It has the beauty of iron painting and silver hook, and the sharp momentum of a sword. This is the thin gold style created by the emperors of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Zhihua couldn't read, so she took a closer look and asked in confusion, "Miss, what's written on it?"

She smiled and said, "The magnolia flowers in front of the courtyard are bright and support the spring sun."

"Hmm? What's that Mulan and the Sun? I don't understand." Zhihua thought it was some love talk, but it turned out to be an obscure poem.

Nian Susu couldn't help laughing, "This poem was written by a poet in the Song Dynasty. It probably means that he saw magnolia flowers blooming in the sun, shining brightly. The magnolia is so beautiful that people who see it will also feel happy and hopeful."

Zhihua seemed to understand, "Then Your Highness wrote this poem for the young lady, saying that the young lady is like this magnolia flower, and that everyone who sees the young lady will be conquered by her beauty and feel happy physically and mentally?"

She knew that poetry conveyed the poet's emotions. When writing poetry as a gift to someone, it was either because the person and the poem were appropriate, or it was to express the poet's own mood.

His Highness gave the young lady a Mulan hairpin and wrote a poem praising Mulan. This was not praising Mulan at all, it was clearly praising the young lady!

Zhihua took a peek and saw that the young lady was smiling but silent, so she knew that she had guessed right. She was moved and thought, is this the elegant taste of scholars?

"You're just pretending." Jingzhe appeared at the door at some point, leaning against the door frame with a look of disdain on his face, "You think knowing a few words is so great."

Nian Susu put the hairpin and the note back into the box and asked Zhihua to keep them.

"If you don't know how to speak properly, I know a little bit about fighting." She cracked her knuckles, her eyes furious.

I don’t know why Jingzhe has such a big grudge against Qin Junyu. Could it be that he mistaken him for a gangster when they first met, so they have this grudge against each other?
