Chapter 1481: The Prideful Young Crown Prince Consort
The queen took a deep breath and did her best to put on a kind and genial expression: Not angry, not angry. She could not get angered to death by her own daughter-in-law!
“Crown Prince Consort, this queen really likes that jasper begonia blossom in your hair. This blossom is larger and more brightly-colored than the jasper begonia that this queen saw over at Her Majesty the Queen Dowager’s.”
“Oh.” The young crown prince consort only then came to realize that Her Majesty the Queen was looking at that blossom in her hair.
Speaking of which, she was wearing this blossom because she had taken out a branch of jasper begonia from the paradise when she was was.h.i.+ng up this morning.
Haitang fondled it admiringly, and she insisted on fiddling with it, pruning them into several flower accessories.
The young crown prince consort originally wasn’t happy about wearing a flower on her head. She wasn’t a plant, so what was the deal with wearing flowers.
Yet after Haitang put it on for her, she thought it looked pretty nice, so she just continued wearing it.
The young crown prince consort thought that she couldn’t waste the remaining flower accessories, so she nourished them in medicine and stored them into cases.
Upon hearing the queen mention them now, she thus took out two cases and handed one to the queen and the other to Xiao Mi, who had been looking at her with imploring eyes.
“If you like it, you can wear them. I have soaked these blossoms in medicine, so they should last around half a month.”
Queen Zhao opened the case for a look, and she saw two beautiful and glistening jasper flower accessories inside. They looked really nice, and her mood turned joyous.
There was no need to say anything about Xiao Mi, who had a wide grin on her face. She promptly stored the case into her inner world and cupped her hands toward Qiao Mu, saying, “Younger Sis, thanks!”
However, before Queen Zhao could speak with a smile, Commandery Princess Yi’an widened her eyes in horror and nearly bolted up from her chair in shock.
She reached over and was about to seize the case from Queen Zhao’s hands. “Your Majesty the Queen, you cannot! These flowers are poisoned!”
Queen Zhao’s eyelid jerked. Yi’an had nearly s.n.a.t.c.hed the case from her hands.
“What are you doing.” Queen Zhao’s expression instantly turned sullen in displeasure.
“Your Majesty, please believe Yi’an. Immediately summon your accompanying royal physicians. If you cannot detect poison from this flower, Yi’an is willing to eat these flowers!”
“Unbelievable!” Queen Zhao reprimanded, but she still cast a somewhat suspicious glance at the young crown prince consort.
However, she saw the young crown prince consort be like whatever and shrug her shoulders, saying, “Then invite the royal physicians to come and examine them.”
“This queen believes the crown prince consort.” Queen Zhao cast a cold glance at Yi’an and chastised, “Yi’an, you truly have breached etiquette today!”
Queen Zhao did not expect to meet the crown prince consort here today. After she saw that the jasper begonia in the crown prince consort’s hair looked pretty, the crown prince consort just took out the remaining begonia blossoms to give to her. These events were all up to chance so how could one plan things out beforehand? That the crown prince consort could poison the begonia blossoms in advance?
She wasn’t a fool! Queen Zhao glared at Yi’an irritably. “Alright, stop making a fuss.”
“Your Majesty, the crown prince consort herself has said that she had soaked these flowers in medicine.”
Qiao Mu and Xiao Mi both rolled their eyes.
The young crown prince consort gruffly crossed her arms and turned to tell Haitang, “Go invite the royal physicians over. If they find no problem with these flowers, Yi’an, you said it yourself, you better eat these two flowers!”
Queen Zhao twitched her mouth. Even if Yi’an wanted to eat flowers, she was not willing to part with them!
How could these two precious jasper begonia blossoms be used for eating?
Soon, two royal physicians got called over to the mountain gazebo.
