There was laughter and joy in Lixiangyuan.

"Two for two, do you want one?"

"This slave wants the king bomb."

"Hehe, Princess, you lose."

At this time, Wu Zongguan hurried in. Looking at Chen Jingxi in front of him, he was a little overwhelmed and said hesitantly: "Princess, you..."

"It's so boring, and it's cold outside, so I had to ask Han Yu and the others to come and help me out." Chen Jingxi casually wiped the graffiti on his face with his sleeve and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you, Manager Wu?"

"Princess, Her Majesty the Virtuous summons you to the palace."

"Enter the palace?" Chen Jingxi put down the cards in his hand, frowning slightly. "My mother summoned me to the palace. What did she say?"

"I don't know either."

Chen Jingxi nodded and asked, "What did the prince say?"

"The prince is out and not at home." If the prince was not at home, he would not have come directly to the princess. "Princess, do you want to go to the palace or wait for the prince to come back?"

When Chu Jinghuai comes back, I don’t know when it will be, “Get ready to enter the palace.”

The maids who received the order immediately got busy.

Chunmei used warm water to wipe the ink off Chen Jingxi's face, but Chen Jingxi's face turned red and the ink was still there.

Chunmei was a little anxious, "Princess, what should we do? This ink can't be wiped off!"

Chen Jingxi picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it. The ink was taken from Chu Jinghuai's study a few days ago in order to write poetry. The stuff this guy used was more advanced than others, and even the ink didn't drip.

She waved her hand and said, "No, just cover it with rouge."

The maids under her were busy throwing rouge on her face.

After the maids finished their makeup, Chen Jingxi looked at herself in the mirror and was genuinely shocked. Such thick rouge and powder, plus a bright red lipstick, was she going to enter the palace to play a ghost?

The maids couldn't help but smile when they saw her.

"Forget it, let it be." Chen Jingxi sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the door with the maids.

The distance from Prince Su’s Mansion to the Imperial Palace was not far, and the carriage arrived soon.

Outside the carriage, the eunuch's voice rang out: "Princess Su, please..."

As these words were spoken, the carriage door was gently opened. Chen Jingxi stood up, held the eunuch's arm, and stepped onto a small wooden stool to get off the carriage.

Just as Chen Jingxi came down, the eunuch glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his head buzzed, and he almost died of fright on the spot.

The eunuch kept his head down in fear all the way, not daring to raise it again. After arriving at Jin'an Palace, he hurriedly said, "Princess Su, the Empress Defei is waiting for you inside. I will take you here."

Chen Jingxi nodded and looked at the palace, which was still deserted.

She walked in and saw Concubine De watering a flower, with only an old maid serving her.

Chen Jingxi bowed from a distance away from Concubine De and said, "Greetings to Mother."

"Princess Su is here." Concubine De didn't even glance at Chen Jingxi, and continued to concentrate on taking care of the orchid.

Chen Jingxi didn't know what Concubine De meant. Then she thought, maybe everyone in the palace is sick, they like to summon you and then leave you alone.

I should think about what to eat tonight. I haven't had spicy rabbit head for a long time. I'll also have wontons, brown sugar rice cakes, Bobo chicken for one yuan a skewer, and a bowl of spicy tofu pudding...

Concubine De finally finished taking care of the orchids. She clapped her hands gently, then turned around and looked at Chen Jingxi.

Her heart skipped a beat. Seeing Chen Jingxi standing in the shadows, and that face, if she hadn't been afraid of ghosts and gods, she would have probably fainted from fear.

This person is so haphazard in his actions. Is this an attempt to demonstrate to me? "Princess Su."

"Mother, do you like sweet or salty tofu pudding?"

Concubine De: “…”

"Oh! I forgot that mother likes to eat candied haws. Next time, your daughter-in-law will bring you a hundred bunches so that you can eat as much as you want at once."

Concubine De: You are quite nice!

"Mother, do you like the flat hawthorn gourd or the regular one?"

Concubine De glanced at the nanny beside her and wondered what this flat candied haws looked like. Was it delicious?

Nanny: I don’t know either, maybe it’s a new breed.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Jingxi shrank back. He looked around and saw that there was only one charcoal stove in such a big palace. Although Concubine De was not favored by the emperor, she still had a high position. He did not expect that she lived such a miserable life.

"Mother, if you have any difficulties, remember to tell the prince. If you don't mind, you can tell me. After all, your son is successful now. Although this has little to do with you, you still gave birth to him."

"Look, I said the wrong thing again. It seems that raising him has nothing to do with you. He has been hungry for nine meals out of three days since he was a child. I heard that you don't like him. You have never held him once in his entire life. The most common thing you said to him was why don't you just die."

"Fortunately, all of this is over. He lives a happy life every day now and has not become mentally distorted because of your harsh treatment."

"Look, I've been busy talking the whole time. Why aren't you saying anything, Mother? Are you naturally quiet?"

Defei's face became darker and darker, her eyes were like knives, and she wished she could gouge Chen Jingxi out.

Chen Jingxi smiled calmly and was about to speak when she was interrupted by the nanny.

"Princess Su, the Queen asked you to come because she has something to tell you."

"You can say whatever you want, mother. I won't listen to anything."

Concubine De suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "Jingxi, are you impatient? It's true. It's normal for you, young as you are, not to want to listen to my nagging."

Chen Jingxi took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and said, "How could that be? I love chatting with older people the most."
