Lu Jiuqing nodded: "Hui Niangniang, this is the taboo name of a minister."

The queen looked at her, her eyes lingering on the mole in the corner of her eye for a long time.

"The daughter of the Lu family doesn't look like the Lu family." The queen laughed, a bit mockingly.

Lu Jiuqing's heart skipped a beat and he clenched his hands subconsciously.

Fortunately, the queen did not dwell too much on her appearance and turned to talk about something else: "When you plead for your father in front of His Majesty, are you sincerely filial to him, or do you really want to trick him?"

Lu Jiuqing: "...I am joking."

A string tightened in her mind.

She didn't expect the queen to be so sharp.

The queen made a sound and said coolly: "You can deceive others with your little tricks, but you can't hide them from me."

"Empress, I sincerely care about my father and am afraid that my father will be punished by Your Majesty. It's just that I didn't have anyone to teach me since I was a child, so I don't understand etiquette and can't express my feelings with my words, which is why I misunderstood."

"No need to explain, it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Jiuqing frowned and said nothing.

She always felt that the Queen had a vague hostility towards her, but she didn't know where the hostility came from. What's more complicated is that behind this hostility, there seems to be another awkward emotion hidden, which Lu Jiuqing can't describe for a while.

The queen held her head and looked at Lu Jiuqing for a long time, then said leisurely: "Tang Xiuyan is the number one scholar and a rare talent. Why do you want to make peace with him?"

Lu Jiuqing was really confused by this queen.

The Queen's questions were illogical. She seemed to be saying whatever came to her mind, rambling in random directions, without any idea of ​​what she wanted to ask.

Lu Jiuqing took a deep breath: "No matter how good Mr. Tang is, he is not my daughter's lover. It is my daughter who is not worthy of him."

Queen: "Do you mind if he takes a concubine, or does he take your sister?"

"But isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"

Lu Jiuqing took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at the queen: "My daughter is not worthy of Lord Tang."

"Then what kind of man do you think can match you?" The queen narrowed her eyes slightly and said leisurely.

Lu Jiuqing's heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips and said softly: "Now, my daughter, I just want to close the door and live my life in peace."

"Oh?" the queen said with a half-smile, "You want to imitate your mother and stay with the Buddha for the rest of your life and never get married again?"

Lu Jiuqing: "...That's not what I meant."

Queen: "Then what kind of man is your perfect match?"

"..."

Lu Jiuqing didn't know why the queen insisted on lingering on this issue.

Just when I didn't know how to answer, a message from the palace suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here."

Lu Jiuqing was stunned for a moment and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Jiuqing deeply.

On the other side, Mo Xiao had already strode in. He didn't look at Lu Jiuqing who was standing there, but went straight to the queen who was sitting there, stepped forward and hugged the queen's arm, and said with a smile: "I'm exhausted, but my mother's place is clean."

The queen glanced at him and said angrily: "How lazy are you to come to my place?"

Mo Xiao leaned on the Queen's shoulder and said with a smile: "They all made me drink. I don't want to drink, so I can only come and ask for the Queen's protection. With the Queen here, I don't see who dares to bully me."

The queen was amused by him and reached out her hand to tap his forehead: "You are the living king of hell. How many people dare to provoke you without being discerning?"
