Chapter 730 Rumors Spread
There was a crisp sound of wooden fish in the silent hall, and the queen hit it again and again, her mind was not on it at all.

Seeing this appearance, the mother-in-law sighed softly, walked up, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's almost time for today, let's go back."

The queen's hand stopped, she looked up at the mother-in-law, frowned, and said, "How is the prince?"

The mother-in-law said, "These days, the prince has studied hard and read a lot of books. When the emperor inspects, he can still praise the prince for his progress."

The queen pursed her lips when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Really? It's rare for the emperor to praise the prince."

The mother-in-law thanked her, looked at the queen with a smile, and said again: "Madam, the prince came to see you a few days ago, but you were on lunch break, so the prince didn't bother you."

The queen let out a sigh, lowered her eyes slightly, and said: "The prince is not young anymore, and it's time to stop playing tricks. I have been strict with him since I was a child, and he is not very close to me. How can I talk to you?" In a word, when you have nothing to do, ask him more, this child is thoughtful, and I am afraid that he will get into a dead end."

The mother-in-law sighed, looked at the queen, and said with a smile: "Who said the queen doesn't love the prince, it's just that the prince doesn't know the mother's painstaking efforts."

The queen just sighed, she shook her head, and said: "How can Bengong not feel sorry for the flesh that fell from his body, but Bengong has been in this palace for many years, so he has to be careful when doing things, and he can only wrong that child."

The mother-in-law gave a compliment, looked at the queen and nodded, and said: "The old slave knows the mother's painstaking efforts, the prince just doesn't understand it for a while, and when the time comes, he will naturally know."

The queen still smiled wryly. How could the rift between her and the prince be repaired overnight? Even if she had that plan, the person sitting on the throne would kill her plan in the bud.

A few days later, there was a rumor in the imperial capital that the crown prince fell in love with a young lady from the Lu family who came from a merchant family, and Li Matchpo, the first matchmaker in the imperial capital, went to propose marriage in person.

The rumor became more and more intense, and finally spread to the palace, not only the emperor, but even the empress knew about it.

The queen was very angry, and in a rage, she threw all her beloved glazed cups away.

Ever since she devoted herself to practicing as a queen, she has never been so angry, which frightened the servants around her.

The mother-in-law looked at the mess all over the floor, and hurriedly persuaded the queen who was still angry: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's just a rumor, why bother?"

The queen's phoenix eyes widened and she said: "Rumor? It's just a rumor. If it reaches the emperor's ears, I don't know how I would feel. The dignified prince is actually connected with that humble merchant's family."

The mother-in-law said this, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, at worst, let the prince refute the rumors."

The queen snorted, her phoenix eyes were full of coldness, and said: "Let the prince deal with it as soon as possible, and don't leave anything to talk about."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law immediately said, "Don't be angry, my lady. It's clear that someone is behind the scenes out of nothing, to make me angry on purpose."

The queen frowned when she heard the words, then looked at the mother-in-law and said: "There is indeed someone behind this matter, and this person may even know this person."

The mother-in-law said this, looked up at the queen, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by your mother?"

The queen frowned slightly, then looked at the mother-in-law and said: "Go and find Wang Chenyang, I want to see her."

Wang Chenyang, who had never had much contact with the queen, was suddenly invited by the queen, but she was not nervous, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Wang Chenyang soon entered the palace and saw the queen, who knelt in front of the Buddha statue and quietly recited her scriptures.

Knowing that Wang Chenyang was coming, the queen remained calm and kept chanting her scriptures, deliberately ignoring Wang Chenyang.

Wang Chenyang was not in a hurry, but quietly stood aside, looking at the queen, without any impatience on his face.

After half an hour like this, neither of them spoke, and remained silent the whole time.

In the end, the queen couldn't hold back, she put the wooden fish in her hand, got up, and turned to look at Wang Chenyang.

Wang Chenyang stood there, with a smile on his face, and asked: "I have seen the empress."

The queen frowned, but said with a smile: "I'm not unwilling to let you come here."

Wang Chenyang smiled again, looked at the queen and said: "Your Majesty asked me to come, how dare I not come, how dare I say anything reluctance?"

When the queen heard this, she frowned, stared at Wang Chenyang with displeasure in her eyes, and said, "That means you are unwilling."

Wang Chenyang raised his eyebrows and said: "If the Empress must misinterpret my meaning, then I have no choice."

The queen's eyes were a little cold, she looked at Wang Chenyang and said with a half smile: "You are really eloquent."

The smile on Wang Chenyang's face deepened, and he said to the queen: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you called me into the palace?"

Hearing this, the Empress sank down and said, "It's nothing, let's sit down and talk."

Wang Chenyang glanced at the queen, and the other party's face was full of smiles. When Wang Chenyang saw it, he just raised his eyebrows, followed the queen into the inner hall, and sat down on the tea seat.

After Wang Chenyang sat down, the queen poured a cup of tea for Wang Chenyang, sat down in a gesture of invitation, and said, "This is a new Dragon Well, you can try it."

Wang Chenyang looked at the cup in front of him, but didn't move.

Seeing this, the Queen immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Wang Chenyang shook his head and said with a smile: "The empress misunderstood, I'm not used to drinking this kind of tea, but how can I not give you the thin noodles?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Chenyang picked up the cup and drank the whole cup of tea in front of the queen.

The queen watched Wang Chenyang drink up the cup of tea, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, she looked at Wang Chenyang, and said with a smile: "I don't know, you little girl, there are such Deep scheming."

After hearing this, Wang Chenyang had an inexplicable smile in his eyes, looked at the queen, and said, "What does the queen mean, why can't I understand?"

The queen looked at Wang Chenyang, snorted coldly, and said: "Ming people don't talk dark words, you did the prince's affairs, right?"

When Wang Chenyang heard this, he immediately expressed surprise on his face, looked at the queen and asked, "What does the queen mean by this? I am not in any hurry with the prince. What happened to the prince has anything to do with me?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at the queen innocently, but there was a faint smile in her eyes.
