When Queen Rong heard this, she didn't know what she thought of, and sighed: "Who am I to be a blessed person? Don't block the joy of the newlyweds in vain."
"What nonsense are you talking about, sister? You have two sons and a daughter, and you are the most noble person in the world. Why aren't you a lucky person?" Qin Baishuang consoled her.
Queen Rong looked at the three little girls on the side, especially Jiang Ningyao, and suddenly remembered her when she was young.
"Shuang'er, do you think if I had been like you and found someone to marry before the emperor's order came, would I have lived a happier life?"
Qin Baishuang grabbed Queen Rong's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? Didn't everything my sister asked for come true today?"
Queen Rong came back to her senses and smiled, "Yes, it's all come true."
When she entered the palace, didn't she want the stability of her family and to ascend to the throne? She has realized it a long time ago, and now her biological son is firmly in the East Palace. As expected, she will be the most noble woman in the world for the rest of her life.
There are not many people in the world who are as smooth as her.
"So, I am indeed a blessed person who can afford this joy." Empress Rong smiled heartily and immediately agreed.
Qin Baishuang immediately invited Qiao Yin to thank her, and Qiao Yin offered Queen Rong a cup of tea.
Queen Rong patted Qiao Yin's hand: "They are all blessed and good children."
Xie Qingxuan asked curiously: "Huh? Did my aunt also receive the imperial edict to enter the palace? Then how did she marry the uncle in the end?"
Empress Rong recalled the excitement back then and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't think we are old now. Twenty years ago, Aunt Rong and your Aunt Qin were both famous beauties in Yangzhou City. Before they even had hairpins, There is already a long queue of people who are secretly looking for marriage."
Xie Qingxuan threw herself into Queen Rong's arms and said coquettishly: "Aunt Rong is not old. Aunt Rong is still as beautiful as ever. Aunt Rong, please tell us what happened when you were young."
Empress Rong held Xie Qingxuan in her arms, as if she had returned to the carefree days of her youth, with a smile on her face.
"At that time, the late emperor selected concubines for the princes, and both of our families were selected. However, that old fox Xie Yanxing got the news in advance, and took advantage of it before the imperial edict arrived, and proposed marriage to Shuang'er first."
Queen Rong said, stretched out three fingers and said: "Three days!"
"In three days, they went through all the procedures, from the engagement to the wedding ceremony."
"You don't know how lively that day was. They had just finished worshiping, and the imperial envoy announcing the decree came in half an hour later. The whole Yangzhou City was shocked."
Queen Rong raised her chin and pointed at Qin Baishuang, "Xie Yanxing didn't care and took her back to Huaizhou."
The three little girls were stunned, especially Xie Qingxuan.
She never knew that the majestic, cold and unsmiling uncle had such a passionate story.
Her curiosity was aroused and she couldn't help but look at Qin Baishuang and asked for confirmation: "Uncle and aunt fell in love at first sight?"
Qin Baishuang waved her hand and said with disgust: "Who fell in love with him at first sight? He seems to have been cold-faced since he was born. I was scared when I first met him. He asked for a kiss as soon as he opened his mouth. I thought he was Where did this lunatic come from? The first responder had someone beat him out."
"Then why did my aunt agree to marry me?"
"Isn't it forced by the situation? I don't want to go to Beijing to become the prince's concubine, and my family is reluctant to let it go, so I accepted the marriage. Besides, Xie Yanxing promised me that as long as our Qin family helps him ascend to the position of head of the family, he will let me go free. Back to Yangzhou." Qin Baishuang recalled.
Queen Rong couldn't help but expose it, "You are the only one who believes this."
Qin Baishuang was a little dissatisfied and said: "Why don't I believe it? The two of us signed a contract in black and white and pressed our fingerprints."
"What's the result?" Queen Rong looked at her with blazing eyes, "Isn't it just that she was eaten up and wiped clean in less than a month, and she gave up?"
Qin Baishuang suddenly lost his temper, his face flushed with shame, and he waved his hand: "Oh, oh, oh, it's okay not to mention the old thing about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. Come and drink tea, drink tea."
"The less you want to mention it, the more I want to say it." Queen Rong was in a good mood, and turned to look at Xie Qingxuan: "Xiaojiu, do you want to hear it?"
Xie Qingxuan nodded like a pig, not only her, but Jiang Ningyao and Qiao Yin also nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Qiao Yin wanted to hear it so much. The head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie not only had a flash marriage, but also engaged in a contract marriage.
Her impression of her future father-in-law was about to change.
This is clearly a scheming old fox who only pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!
"It's as if you have no past. I also know a lot about you." Qin Baishuang said not to be outdone.
"Ning Yao, do you want to hear about your mother's glorious deeds in Yangzhou City?"
Seeing Qin Baishuang about to reveal her old background, Queen Rong coughed and lamented: "The sisterhood that has lasted for decades is so fragile."
Qin Baishuang added a cup of tea to Queen Rong: "On the Qiqiao Festival thirty years ago, didn't we swear that if we say that sisters are gone for the rest of their lives, whoever betrays first will be a dog!"
Queen Rong burst into laughter, "I know, I know, I just don't say anything, just relax, Madam Xie."
Everyone was talking and laughing when suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. The door was pushed open violently, and a biting cold wind swept in instantly. Several people in the cold room shrank subconsciously.
But what the person said next was even colder than the cold wind.
"Queen, something bad has happened. The prince was stabbed in the East Palace and is currently in a coma due to serious injuries."
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Empress Rong felt that this news was really unbelievable. Before coming here, she went to the East Palace to visit Jiang Huailu, and Jiang Huailu was still safe and sound.
But before the palace man could repeat it again, a figure flashed past and rushed into the heavy snow.
Xie Qingxuan ran out, without even taking his cloak, and rushed to the door. He snatched the horse of the palace man who came to deliver the message and galloped towards the East Palace.
Queen Rong looked stern and had no time to ask any more questions, so she immediately ordered: "Go to the East Palace!"
