Chapter 153: It’s time to add to the royal family

In the Jiaofang Hall, Queen Qin learned that Concubine Li was begging to see her, and said lightly.

“Let her in.”

Concubine Li walked in with a low brows and pleasing eyes.

Although she and Empress Qin are cousins, Empress Qin has been in a high position all year round, and her aura is too scary. As soon as Concubine Li arrived in front of her, she became nervous unconsciously, for fear that she would do something wrong and provoke her cousin’s punishment.

“The concubine greeted the queen and Empress.”

Empress Qin didn’t bother to go in circles with her, and asked straightforwardly: “What are you doing in this palace?”

Concubine Li had originally prepared a belly of polite words, but at this time, when she met Empress Qin’s cold gaze, she suddenly didn’t dare to say a word.

She knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: “The concubine had previously convicted His Royal Highness the prince and wanted to plead guilty to His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness refused to see the concubine. The concubine had no other choice but to ask her cousin for help.”

“You came to the palace for such a trivial matter?”

Concubine Li felt the ridicule from the queen, and bit the bullet and said, “The concubine knows that she shouldn’t bother her cousin for this trivial matter. It’s really… There’s really no way. I beg my aunt to help me point out one or two.”

After speaking, she respectfully knocked Queen Qin’s head.

Empress Qin looked at her coolly and said: “Are you sure you want me to help you?”

Concubine Li kowtowed again: “As long as you can help the concubine and the prince resolve the misunderstanding, the concubine is willing to be a cow and a horse for you!”

Empress Qin didn’t even have the idea of scolding her for being stupid at this time, she only said lightly.

“Go and kneel next to him.”

“Here.”

Concubine Li didn’t dare to ask more, so she honestly moved to the side and knelt down.

Empress Qin called another little eunuch and asked him to go to the East Palace to invite the prince over.

Concubine Li was overjoyed when she heard this.

Sure enough, it was the right decision for her to come to Jiaofang Hall for help. As long as Queen Qin made a move, the misunderstanding between her and the prince would definitely be resolved immediately!

Luo Qinghan came soon.

He walked into the Jiaofang Hall and caught a glimpse of Concubine Li kneeling next to him.

Concubine Li was peeking at him, and the two of them met.

Originally, Concubine Li was full of expectation, but when she saw the prince’s cold, knife-like gaze clearly, she shuddered suddenly.

All her expectations were suddenly gone, leaving only anxiety.

Luo Qinghan knelt down and saluted: “Erchen, please greet your mother.”

Empress Qin motioned to him to sit down and speak.

After he was done, Queen Qin asked lightly: “What can you gain from going south this time?”

Luo Qinghan told the experience of going south one by one.

Empress Qin just listened quietly.

When he finished speaking, she neither asked him how he was doing outside, nor did she mean to praise him.

Her attitude was still lukewarm.

“You just took over the Criminal Justice Department, and there will inevitably be many places you don’t understand. There are a few people in the Qin family who work in the Criminal Justice Department. You can take some time to talk to them.”

Luo Qinghan: “Erchen knows.”

According to his understanding of Empress Qin, she should be in a hurry after she said these few words.

There is never gossip between them. When they meet, it means business, and they will be busy with business after they finish talking.

But she didn’t expect her to speak again next.

“Next month, there will be a feast of fragrance in Shanglin Garden. At that time, famous ladies from various families in Beijing will be invited. You can go and have a look with the palace. It’s not a problem that the position of the crown princess has been empty all the time. For a huge East Palace, someone has to take care of it for you. And you are not young now. It’s time to add to the royal family. As a prince, if you have no children for a long time, you may cause criticism.”
