Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 179 Something strange

The Queen's clothes are loose now, and her cheeks are a little rounder than before.

The whole person's complexion was also rosier than before, but his eyes showed a hint of sadness.

The queen picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the food to eat. Then she lost her appetite again and wanted to bite the bullet and eat with her two nieces, but she didn't expect a mouthful of food to enter her mouth.

The queen then covered her chest, turned sideways, lowered her head and vomited.

Seeing this scene, Song Jinyue and Zhang Dingzhi hurriedly dropped their chopsticks, stood up and squatted beside the queen.

There was a bit of worry on both of their faces.

The palace maid hurriedly brought the copper basin, and Xiangxiu wetted the handkerchief himself and wiped it twice for the queen.

The queen bent down again and calmed down, and then she regained her composure.

Seeing that the empress looked a little refreshed, Xiangxiu hurriedly brought tea to the empress to rinse her mouth.

After rinsing her mouth, Xiang Xiu wanted to help the queen to rest.

The queen waved her hand, "Just help me go to the soft couch to rest for a while."

Song Jinyue and Zhang Dingzhi stepped forward, took the queen's hand from Xiangxiu's, and helped the queen to sit down on the soft couch to rest.

After another half moment, the queen's complexion finally returned to normal, and then she half-reclined on the soft pillow.

"You two sit down with me and talk."

The queen glanced at Xiangxiu again and signaled her to take the palace ladies out one by one.

There was no one else in the hall.

Song Jinyue and Zhang Dingzhi took their seats next to the Queen.

The queen held their hands, one on the left and the other on the right, with a somewhat bitter smile on her lips.

"Zhi'er, you are a good boy."

When Zhang Dingzhi saw her aunt mentioning her, she hurriedly responded: "It's because my aunt loves me so much."

The queen looked at Song Jinyue again and sighed: "Yue'er has a home now, but Zhi'er..."

"Don't worry, aunt. Cousin Zhi's marriage will appear when the time comes." Song Jinyue hurriedly comforted the queen.

Zhang Dingzhi also echoed: "Aunt, the two brothers haven't gotten married yet. I, I naturally have to wait for my brothers to get married before it's my turn."

"Why……"

Mentioning the two nephews from her mother's family, the queen sighed deeply. None of the marriages of her nephews from her mother's family have been settled yet.

It’s not like there aren’t suitable ones in Beijing.

She certainly understands the concerns of her mother and brothers.

"Zhi'er, it's my aunt who is dragging you down."

The Queen is sincere and sincere.

Zhang Dingzhi looked a little flustered, stood up hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and said repeatedly: "Aunt, you have broken me."

Seeing her kneeling down, Song Jinyue also hurriedly knelt down.

The Queen sighed deeply again, and then said: "Everyone stands up to speak, what else can you do while kneeling?"

The two slowly stood up, and the queen pulled them to sit down again.

"I summon you to the palace today. There is really no other way..." The queen tried her best to suppress the sadness in her heart.

Song Jinyue and Cousin Zhi looked at each other.

Song Jinyue then asked, "Aunt, what happened?"

"Prince, the prince has been ill for the past two days..."

"I went to see the prince yesterday. The prince is now very thin. He seems to have no energy and looks stupid..."

The mention of the prince made the queen's heart clench.

A few days ago, a message came from the East Palace saying that the prince had contracted a cold.

The imperial doctor also went to see him and prescribed medicine.

She could still go to court before, but two days ago, she suddenly asked for leave. After the emperor looked at her, he mentioned the prince to her, his eyes full of worry and hesitation.

Only after she went to see it in person did she understand the reason for the worry in the emperor's eyes.

The prince was probably suffering from a heart problem, and he was so dumbfounded that the East Palace was trying to hide it.

If it were spread, wouldn't it make people worry about the country's foundation?

Song Jinyue couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart when she saw her aunt looking at Cousin Zhi.

Zhang Dingzhi looked at his aunt and understood something in his heart.

"Zhi'er, now, I need something to cover up the prince's expression."

The queen held Zhang Dingzhi's hand tightly.

"My aunt knows that this matter is too difficult for you, but... my aunt has no choice."

"Can you promise my aunt to marry the prince?"

The queen's eyes were slightly red, but Zhang Dingzhi suddenly withdrew his hand from the queen's hand and was stunned for a moment.

She slowly lowered her head.

Tears fell on the green brocade skirt embroidered with peach blossoms, like water vapor.

Song Jinyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

The queen raised her hand and patted Zhang Dingzhi's back, and coaxed softly: "Zhi'er, aunt understands that this matter has wronged you..."

The hall suddenly became quiet.

The queen was silent, sighed helplessly, and said: "Zhi'er, aunt is sorry for you."

"Aunt, why don't you let me go and persuade His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Song Jinyue stood up and knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "Aunt, just let me give it a try?"

The queen looked at her niece and nodded.

But I didn't believe it at all.

Because she had gone to see the prince, the imperial doctor secretly told her that he was afraid that the prince would be suffering from a mental illness, and if this continued for a long time, he might not be able to regain his former state of mind.

Song Jinyue took her maid to the East Palace.

Zhang Dingzhi was left in Zhaohua Palace by the Queen.

She never imagined that the East Palace was now guarded by guards. If she had not taken the Queen's token, she might not have been able to enter the East Palace.

The chamberlain of the East Palace welcomed her to the back garden of the East Palace. The prince liked to relax in the pavilion in the garden every day.

When she walked under the pavilion, she saw the prince, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe with dragon patterns, sitting in the pavilion with his back to her.

Song Jinyue signaled the crowd behind her to retreat, and then she walked into the pavilion alone.

She walked up to His Highness the Crown Prince, bowed and called: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince in front of him had no emotion on his face. He was sitting blankly, his eyes dull.

She sat down, looked at the refreshments on the table, and murmured quietly, "Yan'er is living a good life. Let me send a message to His Highness the Crown Prince, saying that she is very grateful to the Crown Prince and asking you not to think about her. She has lived a good life now.

very good."

The prince on the side did not react at all.

Song Jinyue looked up and saw that the prince still looked the same as before.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Who would have expected that a simple and honest man like the prince would react like this when encountering setbacks in love.

"Your Highness, you have ruined yourself so much, how can you be worthy of the Queen? She is still pregnant... Because of you, I have trouble sleeping and eating all day long."

"You are the prince and the future monarch of this world. How can you be so selfish?"

"Did you know that if you act like this, you will harm Cousin Zhi..."

The prince still showed no expression. Song Jinyue was so anxious that she took the prince's arm and shook it.

But the prince still didn't react at all.

After leaving the East Palace, Song Jinyue looked at the plaque on the East Palace and could not calm down for a long time.

It’s too abnormal for the prince to be like this!

If it was really because Yan'er was stimulated, His Highness the Crown Prince should not have reacted like this as he had previously made a fuss about marrying Yan'er as the Crown Princess.

Returning to the Zhaohua Palace, I saw the queen holding Zhang Dingzhi still sitting on the soft couch.

"Zhi'er, my aunt will never treat you badly."
