"Grand Empress Dowager, you are finally awake. I will send someone to inform the Emperor and His Highness right now. You don't know how worried they are about you. Aunt Suma is also very worried.

Are you feeling any worse for wear? Tell me, and I'll call the imperial physician later to take your pulse so she can tell me.

I'm so glad you woke up safely. You don't know how worried His Highness was when he was standing outside the door. I was really worried that he would hurt himself."

Xiaozhuang just watched Mu Sili muttering there. She didn't feel impatient at all, but instead felt a sense of warmth.

As she got older, she liked the hustle and bustle more and more. However, due to her noble status, few people in the entire palace dared to make a noise in front of her, which made her life somewhat depressed.

Now it was quite amusing to see her chattering in front of him, as if the Cining Palace had suddenly come alive.

Seeing that Empress Xiaozhuang ignored her, Mu Sili looked frightened and quickly apologized to her.

"It is I who have disturbed the Grand Empress Dowager. You just woke up, so you must have the imperial physician examine you. Please don't blame me, I didn't mean it."

"When did I ever blame you? Why are you so timid, girl? I just felt that the Cining Palace was particularly lively today, and there were people everywhere, so I felt a little emotional.

Didn't you say you'd send someone to notify Xuanye and the Crown Prince? Actually, I'm fine. It's just some old ailment that comes back every winter. Did I scare you?

The imperial physician should be waiting outside the door. Is Su Ma resting? Don't tell her, she gets very worried when something goes wrong with me. Let her have a good rest.

"Are you really okay? No, I promised His Highness that I would tell him the first time you woke up, otherwise he would be so worried that he wouldn't be able to eat. I also have to tell Aunt Suma.

I will first ask the imperial physician to come in and take your pulse, and I will also have someone bring you some food. You must be a little hungry after your sleep, so I have someone prepare something light, so please enjoy as much as you can."

After Mu Sili finished speaking, she left without waiting for Xiaozhuang to speak, leaving Xiaozhuang lying on the bed with a helpless smile. It must be said that this Li was a good choice, she was a considerate person.

As soon as Mu Sili left, Su Malagu woke up. Seeing that she was awake, she hurriedly told her that Xiaozhuang had woken up. Su Malagu happily went into the inner room, while she found the imperial physician and arranged for someone to notify Kangxi and the prince.

When the father and son arrived at the Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang was having a meal and Mu Sili was serving her.

"Please have some more soup. I know you wouldn't want to drink greasy soup after you just woke up, so I had someone remove the fat and stew the soup. It's not greasy at all. Please try it."

Xiaozhuang didn't want to drink it, but after seeing the expectation in Moose Li's eyes, she picked it up anyway. She thought it would still be greasy after removing the oil, but she didn't expect it to be as light as she said.

Kangxi and his son watched Xiaozhuang drink bowl after bowl of wine. They were a little excited because Xiaozhuang was old and didn't like to eat much, and they had been worried about her.

Now seeing how well she was doing, not only the Crown Prince, but even Kangxi had developed a liking for Mu Sili and even wanted to give her some grace.

But she has no children now, and it is not good for her to be favored too much. She can mention it to the prince and ask him to pay more attention to her.

The prince looked at Mu Sili with an expression that said, "I have not misjudged you." There was tenderness in his eyes as he looked at her. As long as she could always keep her original intention, he would treat her well for the rest of her life.

"Royal Mamu seems to be in a good mood. This soup tastes so good that you drank several bowls in a row?"

"Why are you here? Isn't this a meal that Li'er prepared specially for me? I didn't want her hard work to go to waste, so I tried it. I didn't expect it to be quite to my liking.

Would you like to try it? I have to say, although today's dish looks a little lighter, it tastes just as good. I like it very much.

Li'er, have you prepared any extra food? If you have any, please ask the kitchen to serve it. I have a big appetite now and I always feel like no matter how much I eat, it's never enough."

“Yes, I was worried that the meal would not satisfy you, so I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of dishes. I was also worried that you, Cuizhu, might have made a few snacks. There are still many in the kitchen now.

It's not hot enough, but I didn't expect the Emperor and His Highness to come, so I didn't make much soup. I beg your forgiveness."

"It's okay, this isn't your fault. Why are you taking it on yourself? I'm not an unreasonable person. Would I continue to hold on to this matter?

"Liang Jiugong, take someone to get the food. I'm a little hungry. Baocheng, please come and have some with me. I noticed you were absent-minded in the Palace of Heavenly Purity before. Are you alright now?"

"I'm fine, thank you, Father. You must be well, Old Ancestor. Baocheng is still young and needs your care. Don't be as scary as you were today next time."

"It's nothing serious, don't worry. This is just an old problem. If there really was something wrong, would I still be sitting here talking to you?

You guys are such a jerk. Birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature. I'm so old, and it's a blessing to die peacefully. Don't worry. You'll only bring pressure to me.

It is Baocheng's marriage that has always worried me. After he got engaged to Shifu, I thought they could get married as soon as possible, but I didn't expect deaths to happen one after another.

I'm not saying this to discourage you, I'm just really afraid that Guaerjia will have to observe mourning again after just coming out of mourning. Why don't we get the wedding done first? Otherwise, if something happens to me, they'll have to observe mourning again."

"My dear Queen, you must not speak such nonsense. You must stay with me. I also want them to get married as soon as possible, but she is still in mourning. I think we should wait until she is out of mourning before discussing this matter. What do you think, Baocheng?"

The Crown Prince had no objection. It didn't matter to him whether the Crown Princess could enter the house or not. What mattered was that he had someone he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, and this person had been approved by the ancestors and the Emperor.

As long as she gave birth to a son or daughter for him, he would definitely let her take the position of the Crown Prince's concubine.

"Your son has no objection. Besides, the old ancestor is not feeling well, and your son really doesn't care about these things. As the emperor said, let's wait until she is out of mourning."

"Then go with you. I'm rarely happy today. I heard that Guaerjia has also come to the palace to take care of me?

She is well-informed, but I was in a coma and couldn't see her. Otherwise, I would definitely give her some rewards to prevent people from saying that I don't value her.

And Li Gege, I will also give her some rewards. Today is the happiest day for me in all these years, she deserves a reward."
