Chapter 435 You Shouldn’t Run Around
"What? You've lived in the cold palace for so many years and have forgotten the rules outside?" Shangguan Jinglan said dissatisfiedly.
She could not change the fact that Concubine Jing and Yuan Xiaonian were leaving the cold palace, but she had to find an opportunity to vent her resentment.
And the Concubine Jing in front of her was obviously her best choice.
"I dare not!" Concubine Jing could only speak humbly.
Shangguan Jinglan snorted and turned her gaze to Yuan Xiaonian next to her.
The vicious little wolf cub in her memory had disappeared, replaced by a wolf that had learned to bow its head.
For some reason, Shangguan Jinglan felt a panic in her heart. She quickly lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, not wanting to see the mother and son again.
"Today, Xiaonian has been meritorious in saving Lao Wu and Li Suining. I have discussed with the Emperor and have decided to move you and your son out of the cold palace and into Yingcui Residence."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Concubine Jing's voice was a little choked, and she was obviously very excited.
Shangguan Jinglan continued, "Jingshu is now officially named Jing Concubine. I hope that after you and your son leave the cold palace, you will behave yourself and stay well in Yingcui Residence. Don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, I will not forgive you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will remember your teachings!" Concubine Jing had her title of concubine taken away when she entered the cold palace. Now she was conferred the title of concubine. She was obviously very happy.
"Baizhi, go back to the palace." Shangguan Jinglan said lazily.
Soon, the group left.
Yuan Xiaonian hurried over to help Jing up and agreed, "Mother, get up quickly. How are you? Is your knee feeling any discomfort?"
"It's okay, mother is fine." Jing agreed with a smile on her face. They were willing to leave the cold palace and start a new life, even if it meant breaking her legs through kneeling.
"Is mother so happy?" Yuan Xiaonian looked up at the cold palace in front of him, "Do you really dislike this place?"
"I don't like it! I don't want to stay even for one more day!" Jing agreed and pulled Yuan Xiaonian back. "Come on, let's grab our things and move out tonight."
"Moving tonight?" Yuan Xiaonian felt something was wrong. "It's already dark, and I don't know where Yingcuiju is. Otherwise, tomorrow..."
He knew that the Queen came so late on purpose just to make them stay in the cold palace for one more night.
In fact, he has lived here for so many years, why would he really care about one more night or at least one more night?
Unexpectedly, Jing agreed anxiously, "Let's move now, right away. We've almost packed everything."
"Okay." Yuan Xiaonian didn't want to argue with his mother about this matter.
The mother and son took their belongings, which were actually two small bags, and Yuan Xiaonian carried them on his back.
But after leaving the cold palace, they really didn't know where Yingcui Residence was. They could only guess that it was definitely not a good place.
"Empress Jing, Second Prince brother!" At this time, the little girl's voice suddenly rang out in the night.
Soon, she appeared with Yuan Huaihong.
"Prince brother guessed right, you are indeed moving out tonight." Li Suining said happily.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness!" Jing agreed and hurriedly greeted him. She then said to the little girl, "Leping, dear, do you want to live with your mother?"
"Forget it." Yuan Xiaonian refused before Li Suining could answer. "Our courtyard is probably not even one-tenth as good as the one in the Eastern Palace. They don't want to live with us."
He lowered his eyes to look at the little dumpling again, "You...didn't catch a cold?"
"No, I'm fine now, hehe." The little dumpling squinted his eyes happily, and immediately added, "Brother Baoyu is fine too, but the imperial concubine forbade him from running around and told him to lie down well."
"You shouldn't run around out." When Yuan Xiaonian said this, he was looking at Yuan Huaihong, and obviously felt that Yuan Huaihong shouldn't let Xiaotuanzi come out.
Li Suining didn't care at all and said excitedly, "I want to go to the new house with you and have some fun with you guys."
At this time, Jinxi ran over and said respectfully, "Your Highness, we have found Yingcui Residence, but..."
He hesitated for a moment, quickly glanced at Jing Ying and Yuan Xiaonian, and then continued, "But that yard has been uninhabited for a long time, and it's a bit shabby. I'm afraid... it needs to be cleaned up before people can live there."
Yuan Huaihong was not surprised. He had long guessed that the conditions in Yingcui Residence would probably not be much better than those in the cold palace.
"It's okay, you guys go back, Xiaonian and I will go over there." Jing agreed immediately.
Obviously, for her, as long as she leaves the cold palace, it doesn't matter where she goes, it's all good, and she always has a smile on her face.
"Second brother, how about... you and Jing agree to stay in the East Palace for one night and then move there tomorrow." Yuan Huaihong said tentatively.
"No, it's really okay. You've already helped us a lot, and we can't trouble you anymore." Jing agreed and pulled Yuan Xiaonian, "Okay, you guys go back, Xiaonian and I will go over there."
As they spoke, the mother and son actually left.
Xiaotuanzi wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Yuan Huaihong.
"Brother Crown Prince," Li Suining said pitifully, "I want to go and see it too."
"Forget it, let them go." Yuan Huaihong felt that at this time, they might really not want anyone to follow them. "We will bring some things to see them tomorrow. Sister Suining, be good!"
"Okay!" Little Dumpling was very obedient and followed Yuan Huaihong, looking back every step of the way back to the East Palace.
In a few days, the National Master's Hall will be completed, and everyone in the harem will attend.
Yuan Huaihong was still wondering if Xiaotuanzi would be driven out of the palace after the grand ceremony, so on the way back he asked tentatively, "Xiao Suining, do you know what will happen on the day of the grand ceremony?"
"I can ask the stars." Little Dumpling said as a matter of course.
"Okay!" Yuan Huaihong still felt that observing the stars and asking about the future was a bit too mysterious, and he always held a hint of doubt, so if the little dumpling could guess right this time, he would really have nothing to say.
After returning to the East Palace, Xingxing also came out. Xiaotuanzi asked Xingxing and was a little surprised.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Huaihong, who had been waiting nearby, asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"
"Uncle Wen said that you should move out of the Eastern Palace." Little Dumpling frowned, "The Emperor and the Empress both agreed."
"Move out of the East Palace?" Yuan Huaihong widened his eyes in shock. This sounded too unbelievable.
How could the Queen Mother agree to let him move out of the Eastern Palace?
He quickly asked, "Where do I move to then?"
Li Suining asked again and quickly replied, "I went to the side hall of the Yangxin Palace."
"What about you?" Yuan Huaihong, though somewhat skeptical, could not help but ask, "Did you go to the Yangxin Palace with me?"
The little dumpling shook his head, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Something happened."
