Upon hearing the good news of the great victory in the northern border, even the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair seemed to be more than ten times more energetic, and they walked forward in high spirits.
The sedan chair trembled rhythmically, and seemed much bumpier than usual.
The two little girls' chubby faces were shaken to the ground, and the flesh on their cheeks shook rhythmically, which looked a little funny.
Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin secretly groaned in their hearts, but were too embarrassed to say it out loud for fear of spoiling Emperor Mingxi's interest.
Xia Miaoyuan held the armrest tightly with her two small hands and said in a trembling voice, "Father, I have very good news to tell you!"
"Two pieces of good news have arrived at the same time, so it's a double blessing for us!"
Xia Zhengqi looked at his daughter lovingly and asked anxiously, "What is it? Tell father quickly!"
Xia Miaoyuan summoned all her strength and said, "My grandmother got much better yesterday! She can now walk!"
Xiao Wanyin added, "Doctor Yin said that after another month or so of recuperation, grandma will be back to normal!"
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince, who were walking on both sides of the sedan chair, clapped their hands with joy.
"Great! Great! Ke Zun is fine, this is great news!" Xia Zhengqi's mouth was so happy that it almost reached his ears.
"That's great! My grandfather and uncle will be so happy when they find out!" The prince clasped his hands together happily, and his feet, which had been walking upright, actually jumped two steps.
A few people were talking and laughing, walking in a swaggering manner on the palace road, which surprised the palace servants walking on the road.
When the palace servants encountered the emperor's carriage while walking, they had to kneel down with their heads bowed and wait quietly for the carriage to pass completely before they could stand up.
But this scene today really shocked everyone in the palace.
It was obvious that the golden dragon sedan chair with carved dragons and painted phoenixes was being carried by the young eunuchs, but the people sitting on the sedan chair were not Emperor Mingxi, but two little children.
Looking again, Emperor Mingxi, who was wearing a bright yellow brocade dragon robe, and the Crown Prince were actually walking on either side of the dragon chariot.
As they walked, they looked up and talked to the children in the sedan chair.
According to palace rules, when the number of sedan chairs is limited, the higher-ranking officials ride in the sedan chairs, while the lower-ranking officials follow on both sides of the sedan chairs.
But now, the Emperor Mingxi, who was the emperor of the country, actually walked beside the sedan chair and let his daughter and niece sit on it.
This is really strange.
Although the palace servants knelt obediently at the edge of the palace road, they couldn't help but glance at the sedan chair.
After the sedan chair passed by, the eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground did not even bother to stand up and started talking in a flurry.
"Didn't they say that the Queen has lost her power and will be deposed soon?"
"Yes, how come Princess Anguo can sit on the dragon chariot?"
"Could it be that the Emperor can't let go of his love for the little princess?"
"Could it be that the Emperor won't depose the Empress because he dotes on the little princess so much?"
Two curious eunuchs quietly followed the Emperor Mingxi's carriage for a while and observed where it was going.
When they found out that Emperor Mingxi was going to Kunning Palace, they exclaimed again.
"This is unbelievable! The emperor actually went to Kunning Palace!"
"I heard that the little princess took the initiative to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to find the emperor today!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it shows how much the emperor dotes on the little princess!"
On the other side, Emperor Mingxi's carriage had arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace.
The queen had already been waiting at the door to greet her.
When Xia Zhengqi saw the Queen personally coming to greet him, he was overjoyed, "Oh Ruoyu, why are you still standing here waiting for me?"
Just as the queen was about to kneel down to salute, Xia Zhengqi held her back.
"I heard from the palace maid that you were coming to Kunning Palace, so I came out to greet you immediately." The queen looked at Xia Zhengqi with her almond-shaped eyes full of affection.
Xia Zhengqi felt a warmth in the softest part of his heart. He grabbed the queen's hand and whispered in her ear, "Ruoyu, are you missing me?"
The queen lowered her head in shame, her cheeks instantly reddened. "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The children are here."
Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin got off the sedan chair and walked behind Xia Zhengqi, watching every move of the two.
Both girls had smirks on their faces.
[Oh my, my Emperor Daddy! Tsk tsk tsk.]
[You guys are showing off your affection in public! ]
[Strange, the book doesn't describe the emperor and empress being so affectionate!]
While Xia Miaoyuan was daydreaming, everyone had already entered the main hall.
In the main hall, Ke Zun, dressed in luxurious northern frontier clothing, stood quietly at the door.
Seeing Xia Zhengqi coming, he knelt down and saluted.
Although he is the elder, Xia Zhengqi is the emperor of Daxia and the ruler of a country after all, so he still has to perform the state etiquette.
"Mother-in-law, please get up quickly!" Xia Zhengqi stepped forward to support her.
"I heard that you are much better now?"
Ke Zun smiled brightly: "Yes, I am much better now. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
Xia Zhengqi was so happy to see that Kezun looked good that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Your Majesty, I have a great announcement to make. I'm sure you'll feel much better after hearing it."
After hearing what Xia Zhengqi said, except for Xia Miaoyuan and a few others who already knew about it, everyone else looked at Xia Zhengqi intently, waiting for him to speak out.
"Mother-in-law, we have won a great victory in the northern border!" Xia Zhengqi deliberately emphasized his tone.
Ke Zun was so happy that he cried.
Everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to do. They were noisy for a long time before they quieted down.
Xia Zhengqi sat in the main seat and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's really prepare and celebrate the great victory in the northern border."
"Also, my mother-in-law's illness has improved, which is also a happy event. It's just right, so let's celebrate together."
Ke Zun was a little embarrassed, "There's no need to be like this. I'm recovering from my illness, so there's no need to worry about that."
The Queen's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "By the way, in about ten days, it will be Mother's birthday."
"Mom, I remember this is your sixtieth birthday, right?"
Ke Zun said nothing, just smiled and nodded.
Xia Zhengqi smiled and said, "Then let's hold a birthday banquet for mother-in-law. It will be a lively and exciting event with both the birthday banquet and the celebration banquet."
"Great! Great!" Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin, the two little ones, jumped for joy when they heard that a palace banquet was about to be held.
That night, Xia Zhengqi and the prince stayed in Kunning Palace. The queen sent someone to call the princess, and everyone gathered together for a lively family dinner.
There was laughter and joy in Kunning Palace, and the lively sounds could be heard outside the palace.
Several young eunuchs who had come to the gate of Kunning Palace to gather information were all stunned when they heard the noise.
Because the Crown Princess was pregnant and had not been reunited with the Crown Prince for many days, the Queen asked the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to leave early and return to the Crown Prince's Mansion.
When Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin were skipping and skipping to see off their elder brother and sister-in-law, they happened to catch a glimpse of a few young eunuchs peeking at the gate, and they became furious.
