695. Chapter 695
Ye Zhen answered the Queen Mother's questions carefully, no longer acting as unscrupulously as before. After all, she was different.
The Queen Mother was still very satisfied with Ye Zhen's attitude. At least she didn't dare to put on airs just because she was about to enter the palace. "The Ai family has something to ask you. The Emperor has already set the wedding date. Did you know?"
"My daughter knows." Ye Zhen nodded gently.
"The Emperor wants to make you his queen, are you unwilling at all?" The Queen Mother looked at Ye Zhen sharply, wanting to see through her thoughts at once.
Ye Zhen looked back at the Queen Mother in surprise. If she had resentment towards Mo Rongzhan, why would she follow him back? "Queen Mother, why do you ask?"
The Queen Mother said, "The emperor is the son of the Ai family. The Ai family cannot watch him marry a woman who is resentful of him."
"My daughter has no grudge against the emperor." Ye Zhen whispered. The Queen Mother had indeed misunderstood. Did she think she married Mo Rongzhan for revenge?
"You have no resentment, but what about your father Ye Yiqing?" the Queen Mother asked.
Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head when she heard this, "Queen Mother, you don't know my father. If he still can't let go of the past and is still thinking about revenge, he won't let me return to Kyoto, and it's even less likely that my father will take advantage of him. My daughter will take revenge."
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Zhen suspiciously, "You and Ye Yiqing have only known each other for this year, do you know him so well?"
"He is my biological father, how difficult is it to understand him?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Aijia feels relieved when I hear you say that." The Queen Mother nodded gently, "Aijia has no other intention, I just hope that everyone around the emperor will be sincere to him. Yaoyao, you should understand that Aijia It means."
Ye Zhen looked at the Queen Mother with bright eyes, "Your Majesty, I understand."
In the Queen Mother's mind, no matter how much she liked her, her son was more important, and there was no need to doubt who to favor.
"Go find Ayi. He heard that you were going to the palace today and said he wanted to see you. He should have returned from the study by now." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Ye Zhen felt a little sad in her heart. The Queen Mother was as close to her as mother and daughter, but now it is impossible to return to that situation again.
"Queen Mother, that servant will leave first." Ye Zhen lowered her head and bowed, then slowly exited the hall.
The Queen Mother looked at her back with frowning eyes and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the princess seems to have lost some weight." Aunt Cheng gave the Queen Mother a cup of tea and said in a low voice.
"Yes, she has lost some weight and has grown taller. She is no longer the little girl she was a year ago." The Queen Mother said calmly, "Looking at her, the Ai family felt that they were old."
Aunt Cheng smiled and said, "Queen Mother, how old are you? You think too much."
"You said that the Ai family liked her so much before, but now they think that she is going to be their daughter-in-law, but they feel..." The Queen Mother stopped mid-sentence. Looking at Lu Yaoyao now, she no longer felt the pain in her heart that she had before. .
Daughters and daughters-in-law are naturally different! Aunt Cheng said with a smile, "You have always loved the younger generation, but now you feel strange because you haven't seen the princess for a long time. It will be better in a few days."
The Queen Mother said, "For her sake, the Emperor would not favor any of his concubines. I don't know who he is following such an infatuated person."
Aunt Cheng smiled and said, "Queen Mother, not all men are greedy for novelty, and what they don't get is the best."
"Yes, maybe it will be fine once Yaoyao enters the palace and the emperor's freshness is over." The Queen Mother laughed. By then, as long as the emperor sees a more beautiful woman, he will definitely be tempted.
Seeing the Queen Mother's thoughtful look, Aunt Cheng paused in her heart.
…
…
Ye Zhen exited Cining Palace, hesitated for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the prince's office. Before she reached the prince's office, she saw Mo Rongyi coming from the other direction.
The young man walking from a distance looked very much like the Mo Rongzhan she met when she was a child, but he did not have the coldness and majesty on Mo Rongzhan's face, and he looked even more handsome and cheerful.
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongyi had already seen her, with a bright smile on his handsome face, and ran towards her in large strides.
There was a smile in Ye Zhen's eyebrows, remembering that he was a child when she first met him, but now he has become a handsome young man. Because of her rebirth, this young man also got the chance to extend his life. She also gave Mo Rongyi Treated like his own younger brother.
"It's been a while since we last met, and you've grown so much?" Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongyi with a smile. When he came to her, she realized that he was a head taller than her.
Mo Rongyi pointed at her angrily, "You left without saying goodbye to me. I chased you for a long time and didn't catch up. You are not a friend enough."
Ye Zhen left Kyoto in the middle of the night. Even Mo Rongzhan didn't know that Mo Rongyi must have been her substitute when he left. Since he was a substitute, how could her father let others catch up with him? "I don't know you." Come see me off, hey, I just went out for a trip, aren’t I back?”
"At that time, I thought you would never come back." The anger on Mo Rongyi's face turned into depression. Knowing that she was Ye Yiqing's daughter, he was worried that she would not come back after leaving. After all, there are Ye Zhen and Regarding the Ye family's affairs, he felt that it was normal for Yaoyao not to come back and see the emperor's brother.
But she is back!
Ye Zhen wanted to touch his head like before, but found that she could no longer touch him, "Why don't I come back? My parents are still in Kyoto."
Mo Rongyi covered her mouth and smiled, with a bit of ambiguity, "I know, there is also an imperial brother."
Ye Zhen gave him a look with slightly red cheeks, "You are the only one who knows more."
"When you are away, the emperor seems unhappy. He often doesn't come to the harem. It's not easy for the mother to see him." Merongyi said.
"There shouldn't be anything going on in the palace, right?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Merongyi walked side by side to the pavilion in the Royal Garden, "What could happen? Although Ye Yaoyao has pleased the queen, she is gone now, so there is no need to care about her."
Ye Zhen was slightly startled, "How did Ye Yaoyao please the Queen Mother?"
She remembered that although the Queen Mother sympathized with Ye Yaoyao, it was impossible to say that she liked her.
"How do I know? However, Ye Yaoyao looks different from before. She is dead anyway, so there is no need to pay attention to him." Mo Rongyi said.
Ye Zhen thought that Mo Rongyi would not necessarily think that Ye Yaoyao looked different because she had restored her memory.
"How have you learned riding and shooting this year?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile and no longer asked about Ye Yaoyao.
"It's definitely better than you. Let's find a time to compete." Mo Rongyi shouted with bright eyes.
