Chapter 224
The Empress has finally returned to the palace; His Majesty can finally rest easy...
Shen Qingnian used the alias Miss Liu. She looked at Xia Xiazi through the veil and felt that the other person looked a bit weathered.
"Huh? Are you servants?" Little Shenxi jumped off the carriage and looked curiously at the palace servants kneeling on the ground.
Ever since the carriage entered the capital, the little girl has been incredibly curious. She has never seen such bustling streets, much less such luxurious palaces.
She had only heard about the palace from storytellers, and the emperor existed only in her imagination, a majestic and terrifying figure.
But on the way, her mother told her that her father was the emperor, which felt really strange, but apart from the strangeness, she was also curious.
No wonder her father was so powerful...
Xiao Yanqing walked over at this moment and introduced them to Xiao Xi: "Xiao Xi, this is Eunuch Xia, and these are palace servants, or what you call servants."
Xiao Shenxi nodded, her face filled with curiosity.
Shen Qingnian's calm voice rang out: "Please rise, Eunuch Xia. I'll trouble you then."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zi stood up. He cautiously glanced in the direction of Xiao Shenxi, and his eyes widened immediately upon seeing her.
This little girl looks remarkably like His Majesty, almost like a carbon copy of him!
Xia Zi's eyes nearly popped out, but he quickly composed himself and led Shen Qingnian and her group towards the palace.
Through the veil, Shen Qingnian felt that the palace in front of her was very noble, even extravagant, with even the walls plated with gold.
The man said he wanted her to come back and atone for her sins, yet he placed her in such a magnificent palace...
"His Majesty specially sent a message a few days ago to renovate this Golden Palace, and everything is done according to Miss Liu's preferences," Xia Xiazi's solicitous voice rang out beside her.
Shen Qingnian's resurrection brought the happiest people besides Song Xuan himself, as Xia Xiazi was the head eunuch in the palace and Song Xuan's personal eunuch.
God knows how he got through those three years.
Inside the hall, Xia Zi began to introduce the palace servants to Shen Qingnian. These servants were all handpicked by him, and he had even specially transferred Zhu Lan over.
Back in the Eastern Palace, Zhu Lan, though she came after Xiao Ju, was still quite capable. Xia felt more at ease knowing there were familiar faces around.
After listening to Xia Zi's introduction, Shen Qingnian waved for her to leave. She also dismissed the palace servants and then looked at Liu Yurou and Xiao Ju.
Liu Yurou's complexion had been poor ever since she arrived in the capital, while Xiaoju's hadn't changed much.
She looked at the two of them and asked, "Mother, Xiaoju, would you like to stay in the palace?"
“Qingnian, you don’t need to worry about us. In the current situation, it’s best for Xiaoju and me to stay by your side. If we leave the palace, Chen Zheng might find out,” Liu Yurou said, shaking her head.
Xiaoju nodded and said, "Madam is right, Miss, you don't need to worry about us."
His Majesty seems to care about Miss, yet he hasn't allowed her to return to the palace under her true identity. Whatever the reason, this is detrimental to Miss.
Seeing the two of them say this, Shen Qingnian felt relieved. She spoke somewhat cryptically, "You don't need to worry. His Majesty has his reasons for this trip. The affairs of the previous dynasty are unpredictable. Now that you have returned, just obediently follow His Majesty's arrangements."
She couldn't say it explicitly, so she could only hint at it.
After the three of them talked for a while, Liu Yurou took the two little ones to the side hall, which was where she lived. It had a separate courtyard and several wet nurses and palace servants were also arranged there.
After Liu Yurou left, Xiaoju walked up to Shen Qingnian and knelt down.
