Xie Wanyi was her favorite maid besides Xiao Lingyu, so she quickly took the tea and drank it.
He put the bracelet he had prepared in advance on her wrist and said, "Wanyi, Yu'er is now in your care. You must help the Royal Grandmother take good care of her. If he makes you angry, the Royal Grandmother will support you."
The Empress Dowager always remained serious and dignified in front of others.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's kind eyes and gentle expression at this moment, Xie Wanyi was a little bit unbelieving, "Grandmother, don't worry, Wanyi will take good care of the prince. And I like this bracelet very much. Thank you for the gift."
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it."
As long as Xie Wanyi gives birth to a child, rewards will continue to flow in.
Xie Wanyi took the second cup of tea from Mother Zhang and offered it to Empress Du Xingruo, "Mother, please have some tea."
Du Xingruo took the teacup and asked someone to help Xie Wanyi up.
It was the first time that Xie Wanyi saw the Queen. Her face and even the way she drank tea were about 70% similar to Brother Yu's.
No wonder the prince is so gentle, he inherits it entirely from the queen.
Although she had on exquisite makeup, she could tell that the Queen was in poor health.
After Du Xingruo finished her tea, her personal maid handed her a box containing a priceless jadeite headpiece embroidered with a phoenix pattern.
The Queen Mother glanced at it, somewhat surprised.
This was a gift from the emperor when she was crowned queen. He originally thought it would be given to the girl from the Xiao family, but unexpectedly it was given to the girl from the Xie family in the end.
"Wanyi, this is a gift from your mother. Do you like it?"
Xie Wanyi fell in love with this phoenix jade headpiece at first sight."
"Thank you, mother. My daughter-in-law likes it very much."
Du Xingruo smiled and said, "Since you like it, put it on and let us mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take a look."
"Wait a minute," the Empress Dowager said, stopping him. "Go change into something that matches this headgear... Take your time, and dress up beautifully before you come out again."
Xie Wanyi understood the Empress Dowager's implication and said, "Yes, Grandmother."
"Mother, isn't Yu'er at home today?"
"Aruo, I heard that the court has been busy lately. Yu'er has to help the emperor with state affairs. I guess he went out early this morning to get busy. He should be back soon."
The Empress Dowager felt that being a grandmother was much more tiring than being a queen mother, and she had to keep it a secret from her daughter-in-law.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Her Majesty the Empress." Mother Zhang brought in a plate of walnut cakes. "This is what the princess made early in the morning."
The Empress Dowager was surprised to see that Pinbi's walnut pastry was better than the one made by the palace chef. "Wanyi can also cook?"
"Yes, the princess cooked lunch for the prince on the second day of her wedding. I saw that the prince loved it very much."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager picked up a piece of walnut cake and took a bite. Du Xingruo also picked up one and took a bite.
"Mother, Wanyi's level is comparable to that of Princess Xiao."
The Empress Dowager nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed, our Yu'er is in for a treat."
The Empress Dowager happily savored the walnut cookies, feeling somewhat regretful that the girl from the Xiao family could not be her eldest grandson's wife.
After all, she had put a lot of effort into this child, but in the end, he ended up being given to the common people. She felt a sense of responsibility towards Emperor Qianyuan.
Xie Wanyi returned to the room and Shaoyao changed her makeup.
The Empress Dowager asked her to change slowly, and she did not dare to delay too long. It only took her half an incense stick of time to make herself look brand new, and Feng Jinyu had not woken up yet.
"Princess, do you want to go over there, or wait a little longer?"
Xie Wanyi sat down beside the bed and reached out to touch Feng Jinyu's hand. "Wait another quarter of an hour."
The Empress should not know that the Prince is seriously ill, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have asked her to change the position slowly.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly. As soon as Xie Wanyi got up and left, Feng Jinyu opened his eyes and saw the familiar phoenix jade headdress.
"I'm not wrong, am I? Both the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother will like you."
Xie Wanyi nodded: "I just changed into this outfit, does it look good?"
Feng Jinyu smiled, "It looks good!"
"Then I will wear it now and show it to the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother."
Feng Jinyu was stunned. "They haven't left yet?"
"They came to see you. How could they leave without seeing you?"
After some tidying up, Feng Jinyu was pushed out of the warm room, stood up and took Xie Wanyi's hand into the warm room.
"Royal grandmother, queen mother."
"Yu'er, please don't be so polite." The Empress Dowager hurriedly came down from the main seat and helped him up. Worried that he was tired from standing, she pulled him to sit down.
Du Xingruo was very surprised by the Empress Dowager's abnormal behavior.
"Mother, you are not feeling well. It is not appropriate for you to leave the palace. You should rest well."
"Yu'er, your mother has lived in Kunning Palace for many years. A normal person would get sick if they stayed there for too long. It's a good opportunity for you to accompany your grandmother to Huangjue Temple for a few days. It will be good for your health. Now that you are married, don't be too busy with state affairs. You should spend more time with Wanyi. Your mother is looking forward to holding her first grandson soon."
"Yu'er, grandma is looking forward to it too, you must work hard."
Xie Wanyi lowered her head in shame. The prince tried very hard, but it would be very harmful to his health!
"Grandmother, this matter must be left to fate. There is no need to rush it. However, I will do my best to ensure that you can hold your grandson as soon as possible. It is noon now. Let's go to the flower hall next door for dinner as a family of four."
"No need, just eat in the warm room!"
The flower hall next door was only about thirty steps away, and the Empress Dowager didn't want Feng Jinyu to walk even a single step, for fear that he would get tired.
All the food was carefully checked by Mr. Lu, Li Yuanliang, Fu Xuan and Li Haiying before being allowed to be sent into the warm room.
"Wait, the family is having a meal, how can I be left out?"
Emperor Qianyuan walked in with a smile, and Li Haiying quickly brought him new bowls and chopsticks.
