There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 96
Tang Wanning opened her innocent eyes.

"What a toad, you must have misread it, Queen Mother! This is a toad, an auspicious beast that attracts wealth and wealth!"

"My daughter-in-law spent a lot of energy to get a hundred of them. There are topaz, beryl, black jade, and emerald, especially this emerald one. It is really finely crafted. It's so lifelike!"

"There are a hundred of these jade toads of different shapes, which are just a gift for the fourth brother and the fourth sibling, implying that they have a good relationship for a hundred years, and it is also a little bit of our love as brothers and sisters!"

She speaks clearly and logically, but the queen is not so easy to fool.

"Really!" She snorted coldly.

"Since you like this kind of auspicious beast so much, why don't you take it home and enjoy it yourself, our family can't do such a thing as seizing someone's love!"

Tang Wanning was even more incredible.

"What did the queen mother say? Aren't we a family? Aren't you the prince's mother?"

The queen was suddenly speechless, yes, she has always 'loved' the prince, so she must not say this in front of everyone.

Taking advantage of the queen's daze, Tang Wanning hurriedly greeted Biyue and Biluo: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and send it to the fourth brother!"

Biyue and the two agreed yes, closed the box and sent them to Xia Houyan together.

"His Royal Highness, please accept the gift!"

Looking at the carved red lacquer red sandalwood treasure box that was handed to him, the Prince Chen, who was dressed in a big red python robe, had a very ugly expression on his face.

After taking a few glances at the queen, under the gaze of everyone, he had no choice but to take the treasure box.

"Thank you, sister-in-law three!"

"No thanks, no thanks, I wish the fourth brother and younger siblings a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

Tang Wanning smiled generously, and led Bi Yue and the others back to their seats.

The wedding banquet that followed was much more enjoyable. Seeing the empress mother and son's expression as if they had eaten a fly, Tang Wanning's appetite whetted, and the delicacies on the table were much more delicious than before.

Biluo picked up a chopstick of sweet-scented osmanthus fish and sent it to Tang Wanning: "Master, please eat!"

Tang Wanning picked it up and took a sip: "Yeah! Not bad, it smells so good!"

……

What happened in the flower hall was not deliberately hidden, Xia Houjue soon found out.

When they returned to the palace at night, the two sat in the carriage, staring at each other in embarrassment.

Xia Houjue looked at Tang Wanning with an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

"You are bold!" He said in a deep voice.

"Why am I so bold?" Tang Wanning slightly raised her eyebrows, a little carelessly!

"Do you know that if you really piss off the queen, even Gu can't protect you?" Xia Houjue looked cold.

Tang Wanning raised her eyebrows: "Who wants you to protect?"

"I still have some sense of propriety! Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"

Xia Houjue: "..."

Why does he have the feeling of being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs for his kindness?She is his eldest wife, no matter how much he doesn't like her, and if he gets married again, she is also his eldest wife.

It was only right for him to protect her, and he never treated her badly.

Why was this woman talking about it, it seemed like I had wronged her a lot.

accurate!Extremely upset.

Xia Houjue's face darkened again, and the atmosphere around him became much cooler.

Tang Wanning couldn't help shrinking her neck, and it took a while to show weakness.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's a big deal, I'll discuss it with you next time, can't I stop acting alone?"

Xia Houjue: "..."

Another breath was trapped in his chest, and his face became a little darker, like the bottom of a pot.

He kind of wants to strangle this woman to death now!Is he angry about this?What is the queen, worthy of his anger?
Does she have a brain?He did it to protect her!

Wait, to protect her?
Xia Houjue was at a loss for what to do when he was caught off guard by the truth.

When the carriage arrived at Yuqing Palace, he immediately went to Chongming Palace. For the first time, he was as embarrassed as if he had run away, and he didn't even care about dropping his overalls.

Looking at his back, Tang Wanning was a little puzzled, and wondered all the way back to Chaoluan Hall.

"Do you think the prince seems weird today!"

Bi Yue and Bi Luo both nodded.

"Then what do you think is the reason? Does he really think that I will hold him back?" Tang Wanning frowned, her expression serious.

"Probably not!" Bi Luo thought for a long time before answering.

"My servant feels that His Highness the Crown Prince must think that the Empress has acted without authorization. After all, on the surface, the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince are still loving mothers and filial sons!"

"Your Majesty, giving such a gift, seems to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After a long silence, Tang Wanning finally nodded seriously.

"You're right! It must be so!"

"It seems that next time, we have to discuss it carefully!"

Tang Wanning, who felt that she was holding back her teammates, blamed herself very much. After a long while, she let out a long sigh of relief, her eyes were cold.

'It seems that this royal family is really not easy to mess with! '

……

Although the matter was messed up, Tang Wanning was surprised that the queen did not move in the next few days.

"Shouldn't be!"

According to the queen's mother and son's character of vengeance, there will definitely be a follow-up.

How could it be so enjoyable, as if nothing had happened, it was just incredible.

With such emotions in mind, I arrived on the first day of the next month.

Early in the morning, Tang Wanning took the two side concubines to greet the queen.

As expected, Concubine Chen was also there, and there was a young daughter-in-law born in front of her, who should be the side concubine who entered the mansion together, anyway, she had never seen it before.

Tang Wanning passed by and took a few glances, then turned to greet the queen.

"My daughter-in-law pays her respects to the queen mother!"

The queen who has a daughter-in-law seems to have a lot of confidence. She sits at the top with a smile on her face.

"Get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After thanking Tang Wanning, she took her seat.

Concubine Chen stood up to greet with a smile, and Tang Wanning also waved her hand generously.

"Siblings don't need to be polite!"

Princess Chen also thanked and sat down.

After some greetings, the three began to greet each other.

Tang Wanning was ready to be isolated and disgusted by the queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the facts were unexpected. Not only did the queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not isolate her, they even greeted her with a smile and a warm attitude.

"Concubine Ping is pregnant and can't come here. It's just you and your sister-in-law. Fortunately, you are both born generals, so you must be able to talk. You should come to my palace more often in the future!"

"The queen mother has orders, and the daughter-in-law dare not disobey!" Concubine Chen was very obedient.

Tang Wanning had no choice but to respond with a smile: "My daughter-in-law takes orders!"

"Okay! Come on, sit down!"

"Yes!"

The two sat down and looked at each other secretly.

Concubine Chen was born in the same family as her, but because she grew up in the south, her appearance and demeanor are much more gentle. With her meticulous dressing and dressing, she is no different from a lady from a scholarly family.

But even so, there was still a faint ruthlessness in her bones, which could not be seen by others, but Tang Wanning could detect it!
The two looked each other up and down until their sparkling gazes crossed in the air.
