In the main hall of Huayang Palace, Madam Fu sat on chairs with her two children. The royal family's majesty was so overwhelming that she dared not even breathe.

Her youngest daughter, Fu Qianyin, looked at the luxurious furnishings in the house and said with emotion, "Mother, you often talked about your sister when you were home. Now look at how carefully every blade of grass and every tree in this palace has been taken care of. It's obvious that the emperor treats your sister very well. Now you can finally rest assured, right?"

Madam Fu sighed and said worriedly, "You are so young, so naturally you don't understand what it means to be loved by everyone, or to be hated by everyone. Your sister may be rich and prosperous, but who knows the pain she's going through?"

In her heart, although her daughter was extremely honored and favored, she knew that this road was full of thorns and it was extremely difficult to walk along it.

She was not happy, only heartbroken.

Fu Qianyin stepped forward to comfort her mother: "Don't be afraid, mother. The emperor dotes on you very much. With the emperor's protection, who dares to bully you?"

At this time, Xiang Yue came forward with tea and snacks, and said with a smile: "Madam, Master, Miss, please have some tea."

Madam Fu stood up tremblingly: "Thank you, young lady."

Xiang Yue smiled and said, "Madam, you are welcome. Your Highness has gone to Fengqi Palace to pay respects to the Empress. She should be back soon. Please wait a moment."

"Thank you, young lady."

As soon as the voice fell, a voice of singing came from outside: "The Queen is returning to the palace."

"Mother!"

Fu Qianyu walked hurriedly and very fast. Lingyun and Peirong were supporting her on both sides and were also terrified.

Hear something.

The three people in the room quickly stood up.

As soon as Fu Qianyu entered the room, the three of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed according to palace rules. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be well."

"Get up, get up!"

Fu Qianyu was feeling unwell, so she quickly ordered Lingyun to help Madam Fu up. "What are you doing, mother? We are becoming estranged as a family."

Mrs. Fu stood up and looked at her daughter. They were speechless, but tears were already streaming down her face. Although Fu Qianyu came from the future.

But when he saw Mrs. Fu, a throbbing and intimacy surged in his heart.

"Mother, brother, little sister."

Fu Qianyu looked at them one by one, and the moment they looked at each other, there was deep longing and joy in each other's eyes.

Madam Fu looked at her daughter and shed tears, "Okay, okay, seeing that you are doing well, I am relieved."

Fu Qianyin stepped forward and took her sister's arm, as intimate as before, "Sister, you don't know, but mother shed tears all the way here, worried that you are not having a good time in the palace."

"You child," Madam Fu scolded her daughter, "How can you be so rude in front of the Empress?"

"Today I am just a daughter, a younger sister, an elder sister, not a queen."

Pulling Madam Fu to sit on the couch, he asked about his father again, "How is Dad? Although it's spring now, he has been coughing since autumn. Is he okay now?"

"Don't worry, Madam. There was a heavy snowfall before the New Year. A wandering monk came to stay with us. He drank tea and played chess with your father every day. They had a great time talking. Before he left, he left a prescription. Your father took the medicine according to the prescription, and his cough has almost healed."

"That's good."

Speaking of this, Fu Qianyin tilted her head and smiled softly, like a silver bell. "That's not all. The monk also read your fortune and said that you are destined to be rich and powerful, and perhaps you will become the mother of the country in the future."

"Yin'er." Madam Fu looked at her daughter unhappily and said in a deep voice, "How dare you speak nonsense in such a forbidden place in the deep palace?"

Fu Qianyin was stunned, pursed her lips, and didn't dare to speak again.

Fu Qianyu didn't take this remark to heart. She just smiled gently and said, "These wandering monks are just picking up ready-made words. It's okay to just listen to them."

Madam Fu smiled knowingly, "Yes, Your Majesty is right."

Recalling something, Madam Fu said softly, "There's another piece of good news for you, Your Majesty. Your brother has passed the imperial examination and will be taking the imperial examination this spring. This is all thanks to the Emperor. Otherwise, he would have had to wait another three years."

Fu Qianyu looked up at Fu Mingxu not far away, her eyes full of heartache.

Fu Mingxu's greatest ambition since childhood was to go to the battlefield and serve the court. He gave up military service and turned to literature simply because Dajing valued literature over military service.

He wanted to rely on his own abilities to support her in the harem.

"Brother, why do you have to do this?" Fu Qianyu couldn't bear it and her voice was choked.

Fu Mingxu smiled faintly and said seriously, "Do you still remember what your grandfather often said when he was alive?"

Fu Qianyu calmed down and said gently, "A single thread cannot make a line, and a single tree cannot make a forest."

"Yes, it's easy to break one arrow, but it's hard to break ten arrows. My father is old, and I'm the eldest son in the family. If I continue to act willfully, how can I preserve the honor of our Fu family?"

Madam Fu sighed, "Your Majesty, you don't have to feel guilty. Your father always said that as long as our family works together, we are not afraid of any difficulties or obstacles ahead."

"Yes, my daughter knows."

As they were talking, Zhu Yu came in from outside.

After inviting someone in, Zhu Yu bowed with a smile, "This servant pays respects to the Madam, and to the Madam and the Young Lady."

Madam Fu knelt slightly in return, "You are so polite, eunuch."

"The Emperor has summoned you at this hour, but what are your instructions?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "In reply to your Majesty's question, the Emperor said that since your family rarely comes to the palace, and since your due date is approaching, he has specially ordered that the Madam and the Young Lady stay in the palace for a while until your delivery is safe. In addition, Master Fu can stay in the palace and have lunch before leaving."

Fu Qianyu was naturally delighted by such an imperial decree. "My family has entered the palace, but I haven't gone to thank the emperor yet. However, the emperor is currently in the empress's palace, so it's not convenient for me to go. Please tell the eunuch that I will go to thank the emperor in person tomorrow."
