The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Hearing what Nanny Sun said, the Queen Mother couldn't help but recall the scenes of when she played with Xiahou Xuan.

At that time, they were not as hostile as they are now. Everything started from the time she married the late emperor as the empress, and then everything changed!

"Mammy, do you really think His Majesty still cares about the friendship we had in the past?"

"Queen, please don't underestimate yourself. You were the most beautiful woman in Kyoto back then. You are still young now, in your twenties, at the age of being charming and beautiful."

When the Queen Mother heard Nanny Sun's praise, a sense of hope suddenly ignited in her heart.

"Okay, I will take the initiative to ask for peace with Your Majesty."

After the Queen Mother made the decision, she sent someone to invite Xiahou Xuan that night.

When Xiahou Xuan learned that the Queen Mother invited him to have dinner at Ci'an Palace, he fell into deep thought and agreed after a moment.

"Haidezi, go to Fengming Palace and tell them that I will not be dining there tonight, and tell Wanwan not to wait for me to dine together."

"Yes, I will pass the message right away."

At this time in Fengming Palace, Jiang Wange could not wait to sit at the dinner table, waiting for Xiahou Xuan to appear.

In the end, Xiahou Xuan did not come, but only Haidezi.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has asked me to tell you that I will not be dining with you tonight. You can have your meal first."

Hearing this, Jiang Wange's eyes flashed with disappointment that he couldn't even catch in time, and he looked at Hai Dezi:

"Where will your majesty dine tonight?"

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has sent someone to invite Your Majesty. Your Majesty cannot refuse."

When Jiang Wange heard that they were going to the Queen Mother's house for dinner, he felt relieved.

"Okay, I understand. Sorry to bother Eunuch Hai to make the trip."

"Your Highness is too polite. Please enjoy your meal. I will be back to report now."

"Well, take care, Eunuch Hai."

After Haidezi left, Jiang Wange didn't wait for anyone else and started to eat heartily. He also invited Qianyue, Yujin and Yufeng to sit down and eat together.

Originally, I thought Xiahou Xuan would also eat here, so I prepared a lot of food, and Jiang Wange couldn’t finish it all by himself.

Since Xiahou Xuan was not around, the palace maids serving Jiang Wange were more casual. The Empress asked them to sit down and eat together, so they just accompanied the Empress to eat.

On the other side, Xiahou Xuan took Haidezi to Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother had already prepared several of Xiahou Xuan's favorite dishes and was waiting for his arrival.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother—"

After Xiahou Xuan came in, he bowed to the empress dowager.

"Xuan'er, hurry up and get up. There's no need for us to be so polite. You've been busy all day. Please sit down and have your meal."

The Queen Mother warmly invited Xiahou Xuan to sit down, and Xiahou Xuan calmly pushed away one of the Queen Mother's hands.

The Queen Mother did not feel embarrassed. She glanced at Nanny Sun, who understood and withdrew.

Xiahou Xuan also glanced at Haidezi. Haidezi and Nanny Sun were waiting outside the door together.

Now there were only the two of them left in the room, and the empress dowager was no longer as domineering as before, but instead seemed more gentle and virtuous.

"I remember that you like this sweet and sour carp the most. Try it. I asked the kitchen to make it specially. See if it suits your taste."

The Queen Mother picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of fish into Xiahou Xuan's bowl.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. It's just that I haven't eaten such sweet dishes for a long time. I have been with Concubine Xi for a long time, and I have always catered to her taste and eaten fresh, fragrant and spicy dishes. I feel that they have a unique flavor after getting used to them."

When the Queen Mother heard what Xiahou Xuan said, she was stunned and suspended in mid-air, then she quickly reacted.

"Your Majesty is the highest ruler, how can you accommodate a mere concubine? She is so arrogant just because she is pregnant with the heir to the throne. Who knows how much more spoiled she will be when she gives birth to a prince."

The Queen Mother's words were full of bitterness. She felt that Jiang Wange was not worthy of Xiahou Xuan's love.

If it hadn't been for her back then...it wouldn't have been Jiang Wange's turn!

"Don't say that, Queen Mother. Wanwan is the most special woman I have ever seen, and she is now pregnant with my first child. I have spoiled her because of me."

When Xiahou Xuan mentioned Jiang Wange, he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

"Wanwan? You used to call me Qingwan? Did you mistake her for me?"

The Queen Mother looked at Xiahou Xuan excitedly, and urgently needed to hear an accurate answer from him.

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Xiahou Xuan frowned instantly:

"Queen Dowager, please respect yourself. Wanwan is not a substitute for anyone, and I have never called you by your maiden name before."

"How could there be none? Me, you, Ah Cong, and Wen Yilan, we all grew up together. You all used to call me Sister Qingwan!"

The Queen Mother became more and more excited as she spoke, trying to make Xiahou Xuan recall their past.

"Queen Mother! Don't forget your current status. Your husband is my father, the late emperor! Do you think it is really appropriate for you to reminisce about the past with me here?"

Xiahou Xuan's eyes grew colder, and there was no warmth in his gaze towards the Queen Mother.

Is this woman crazy? Who is she and who am I? She actually wants to reminisce about the past here? Is there a relationship between them where they can reminisce about the past?

"You said it was the late emperor. He's already dead, how can he still control me? Ah Xuan, don't you know my feelings? At the beginning, I was tricked by my father into entering the palace to participate in the selection! I don't want to marry your father and become the queen at all. The person I want to marry has always been you!"

"boom!"

Xiahou Xuan slammed the table and stood up, his face full of resentment, as if he had heard some disgusting words, his brows furrowed.

"Xia Qingwan, can you please have some shame? You are my stepmother, don't you know how to write the four words of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame? You make me feel disgusted!"

After saying that, Xiahou Xuan turned around and was about to leave Ci'an Palace, but was hugged tightly by Xia Qingwan from behind.

"Ah Xuan, I beg you, don't be so cruel to me. I like you. I have admired you since I was a child. My father lied to me that I entered the palace to participate in the selection of your Crown Princess, so I entered the palace. Who knew that after participating in the selection, I found out that it was the selection of the previous emperor. It's too late for me to regret it... I don't want this, I really don't want to..."

Xiahou Xuan used force to pry open Xia Qingwan's wrists.

"Queen Mother, please respect yourself——"

After saying that, Xiahou Xuan flicked his sleeves and left, his steps were quick and without any pause.

After Xiahou Xuan left, Nanny Sun immediately returned to the house and saw Xia Qingwan crying.

"Queen Mother, what happened? Did His Majesty bully you?"

Nanny Sun quickly helped Xia Qingwan up and asked with concern.

"Mammy, I regret so much, I regret so much becoming the empress of the late emperor, I was wrong... I thought Xuan always hated me for entering the palace for the selection, but who would have thought that he didn't know that I liked him at all, and he didn't have that kind of intention towards me at all..."

"Queen, be careful with your words!"
