"Little girl."
Empress Rong Huan looked at the sleeping little Xier and gently stroked her eyebrows, nose, and pink lips with her hand. The more she looked, the more she liked her.
I don’t know how this little girl got in?
The palace servants outside didn’t even notice!
I had a bold guess in my mind, but I felt it was unlikely.
Smelling the faint fragrance on her body, Rong Huan felt lighter than ever before.
"Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"How is the Queen today?"
The head maid said, "Your Majesty, the Empress and the young prince had breakfast today and are in better spirits than yesterday. The Empress is still taking a nap."
Emperor Jingshun nodded, gently pushed the door open and walked in, followed closely by Mu Chen Hanyue.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
"Hanhuan, lie down quickly and don't move."
"My health is not that bad."
As Rong Huan spoke, she propped herself up and sat up, lifting the thick dragon and phoenix quilt onto her shoulders to completely cover Xiao Xier behind her.
Seeing that she was struggling, Emperor Jingshun quickly covered her with the quilt.
At this time, Xiao Xier, who was under the dragon and phoenix quilt, opened her eyes and heard Emperor Jingshun say:
"Hanhuan, the envoy from Beiyi is visiting today. I will be attending the palace banquet with Yue'er for lunch, so I came to see you first."
"What are the Beiyi envoys here for? Is there something important?"
Emperor Jingshun said, "Nothing serious, just a routine state visit."
"Does the little princess have any clues? Ahem…"
"Mother, don't worry." Mu Chen Hanyue hurried forward to comfort her: "We have sent people to look for my sister, and we will find out her whereabouts soon. Mother, you must listen to the imperial physician's advice during this period, take your medicine on time, and take good care of yourself so that you can accompany your sister to grow up."
"Yue'er, you're always good at making Mother happy. You said you dreamed... ahem... of your sister. Could you draw her and let Mother see her?"
Emperor Jingshun's eyes lit up, and he patted Mu Chen Hanyue's head lovingly, "Father knows that you are not only good at painting, but also have beautiful calligraphy and a photographic memory. Try to draw the image of your sister in your dream."
Mu Chen Hanyue nodded, "Father, Your Majesty, Mother, I will try my best to draw the sister in my dream, but the drawing may not be realistic enough. After all, it has been a few days since the dream, and I don't remember it clearly."
"It's okay." Rong Huan looked at Mu Chen Hanyue's face carefully. "It's whatever you can make it look like. After all, it's just a dream, an illusion."
"Okay, mother. After the palace banquet, I will pick up my brush and paint."
"Your Majesty, your Highness."
When Rong Huan saw Madam Qiao carrying a bowl of medicine into the room, she frowned in disdain and said, "Put it aside to cool. I'll drink it later."
Nanny Qiao knew the Queen's temper, so she refused to drink the wine if it got cold.
"Empress, the medicine is already warm. Doctor Zhang told you to drink it now. It would be best to have lunch three quarters of an hour later."
Your Majesty, the little prince is here, the Queen can't just ignore the advice in front of the father and daughter, right?
"Mother." Mu Chen Hanyue picked up the medicine and tested its temperature. "It's just right to drink now. There's also candied fruit here, so it's not bitter.
"Hanhuan, drink up. Your health is important."
Rong Huan noticed that the little girl behind her touched her lower back.
The child woke up and wanted to send the two away quickly, "Okay, I will drink now."
After Rong Huan finished drinking the medicine, she dismissed them. "You two, father and daughter, hurry to Shanhe Hall. Don't keep the Beiyi envoy waiting."
Before leaving, Mu Chen Hanyue glanced at the dragon and phoenix quilt behind Rong Huan.
Rong Huan quickly moved her arm, and Mu Chen Hanyue withdrew her gaze.
"Mother, I will take my leave."
Only after Mu Chen Hanyue's small figure disappeared at the door did Rong Huan breathe a sigh of relief.
Yue'er almost discovered that she was hiding a baby, but fortunately she was smart.
"Madam Qiao, have the Emperor and the young prince gone far away?"
"Walked away."
"Keep an eye on it and don't let anyone in."
"Little girl, are you awake?"
"Empress!" Aunt Qiao exclaimed in surprise when she saw a delicate little baby suddenly appear on the bed.
"Louder!"
Nanny Qiao quickly shut up, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am..." She was so surprised!
"Okay, you can come in and serve lunch later."
Rong Huan then turned her head to look at Xiao Xier.
"Child, where are you from? Do you know where this is?"
Xiao Xier feels close to the gentle Rong Huan, but she is very confused in her heart.
The images she saw when she had a headache just now were actually this woman coaxing her, accompanying her, feeding her, and teaching her to read all day long.
She also called her mother.
What's going on?
She was clearly raised by her father, so why did the princess mother treat her like this?
How could it be the person in front of me?
Is she dreaming?
right!
I must be dreaming!
She had indeed fallen asleep just now.
Rong Huan saw Xiao Xi'er staring at her in a daze, and called out softly, "Child."
"Empress." Xiao Xier smiled and blinked. "You are so beautiful, so gentle, and have a beautiful voice. My name is Su Ningxi. I'm over three years old. I'll be four after the New Year. Will you like me?"
Next year her little daughter will be four years old!
Rong Hua: "You have such a sweet mouth and are so cute. I like cute children."
"Then Your Majesty, you like Xiao Xier, right?" Xiao Xier said as she stretched her little hand into her palm to heal the Queen Mother.
One is a princess, the other is a queen. The two most noble people in the world are her mothers. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
She is the happiest girl in the world!
"Of course, I like Xiao Xier." Rong Huan reached out and touched her little head, then held her little hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
She appeared suddenly, and I was afraid that she would suddenly disappear from my sight.
"Xiao Xi'er, the palace is heavily guarded. How did you get in?"
"Empress, I'm telling you, please don't tell anyone else, okay?"
Rong Huan looked at the child who looked a bit like her and nodded happily, "Okay, this is a secret between the two of us."
"I'm the granddaughter of General Xiao Su, the Northern Yi envoy. My grandfather came to the palace today, and I sneaked in behind him. He didn't even know I was in the palace. I had to crawl through a dog hole to get in..."
She couldn't say that she flew here from Beiyi Huayang County overnight, right?
I'll go later and give grandpa a big surprise!
This way it won’t be easy to be exposed!
This child actually came to Nankun with the Beiyi envoy.
Wouldn't that child be following the envoy back to Beiyi in a few days, and she wouldn't be able to see her anymore?
"Empress, it's almost noon and I need to leave the palace."
As Xiao Xi'er was about to get out of bed, Rong Huan pulled her back. "You ran away secretly, didn't you? Your grandfather will be having lunch in Shanhe Hall. You will accompany me for lunch here. After lunch, I will send someone to take you to the posthouse."
"Then you have to send me back to the posthouse before my grandfather returns."
