As Ruyi was doing her hair and makeup, she asked curiously, "Your Majesty, these days, it's been like a dark cloud hanging over the palace. But since Your Majesty returned to the palace, everything has been peaceful."

"Nonsense."

Even though it sounded like a compliment, she was still pleased.

Xiao Tang also knew that this little girl was just talking nonsense.

Although Ruyi spends most of her time in the palace taking care of her baby, she has some free time today to serve Xiao Tang.

"After thinking about it, I realize that you also have children and a family to take care of. I will grant you a mansion later, and you can leave the palace."

Ruyi, who was in a good mood, was shocked.

She looked at Xiao Tang's serious face in the mirror and hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Highness, are you looking down on this servant?"

"No, why would I look down on you?" After all, I've been with her for so long.

Why do women have to make things difficult for each other?

She knows how difficult it is to raise a child.

Ruyi shook her head. "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you until I die. Even if our child grows up and leaves the palace, I will never leave Your Majesty."

"This servant swears to follow Your Majesty to the death."

Xiao Tang: "Sigh~~~~"

She reached out and helped Ruyi up, saying, "How could you be so silly? It's not a happy thing to be in the palace."

"Following the Empress is a blessing."

Seeing Ruyi's determined gaze, Xiao Tang gave up trying to persuade her.

That's all.

She had never known before how much a servant could be attached to their master, but now, seeing Ruyi's expression, she was certain that the girl had feelings for her.

She was no different.

"How about this, you serve me during the day, and Yan Jiu will pick you up and take you back to your residence to rest in the evening. After all..."

“Your Majesty, no need. It’s better to live in the palace. Yan Jiu and I serve you and His Majesty all day long and don’t have much time to go back to our residence. It’s better to make the palace our home.”

As she was talking, the girl looked like she was about to cry.

Xiao Tang couldn't stand it anymore and agreed immediately.

What a silly girl.

She was convinced.

...

Another half month passed.

Life in the palace was peaceful.

The three kids study diligently every day, and seem to have learned what it means to be serious.

While Emperor Jingling was busy with state affairs every day, he was still very energetic towards her at night.

Finally, on this day, Xiao Tang received a wedding invitation from Ruyi.

"Ruyi, are you and Yanjiu going to have a wedding ceremony?"

Ruyi blushed at Xiao Tang's words, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This was sent from Shensuan Mountain!"

Xiao Tang responded with an "oh".

It seems to be Gu Hanxin's wedding banquet.

Upon opening it, it was indeed as expected.

However, the person who copied the invitation was Yan Ruyu, and it was obvious at a glance that it was Yan Ruyu's arm.

Xiao Tang smiled, her eyes narrowed: "Just as I expected, I'm going up the mountain to attend a wedding."

"Your Highness, are you going alone?"

"Otherwise what?"

Ruyi's lips twitched.

this……

"But Your Majesty, the wedding invitation says it's for your whole family."

Yes, we warmly welcome the Emperor, Empress, princes, and princesses as they arrive together.

It's so obvious!

Xiao Tang pinched her chin, "Bring the child up the mountain with you..."

This is so troublesome.

But considering that the three little ones haven't met Di Youming yet, why not give them a chance to meet?
