The Empress did not speak, but her expression turned somewhat grim.
"Your Majesty, have you heard? The princess born to Consort Shu is very much loved by the Emperor. He visits Qiluan Garden every day now."
Consort Liang glanced around cautiously, deliberately lowering her voice: "I heard from Xiao Dezi, who is by the Emperor's side, that the Emperor personally breastfed that little princess."
Personally breastfeeding the little princess?
You need to know.
In the past, let alone a princess, even a prince had never received such an honor.
It seems that it really was her oversight.
She thought that Consort Shu, confined to Qiluan Garden, would have little chance of turning things around, but unexpectedly...
"Since His Majesty values this Seventh Princess so much, and Qiluan Garden has lifted its confinement, let's go to the palace later to pick out some things and then go see Consort Shu together."
The two were chatting.
From afar, I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs carrying pots of roses as they walked over.
"Your Majesty, look! These roses are so beautiful and vibrant, with a lovely pink-to-white gradient. Isn't this your favorite color, Your Majesty?"
As Consort Liang spoke, she waved to the palace maids and eunuchs who were carrying the flowers: "Come here, these flowers are doing just fine in the Imperial Garden, where are you going to move them?"
"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"
"May Your Highness, Consort Liang, be blessed."
"Your Highness, His Majesty has just issued an edict ordering us to deliver these flowers to Qiluan Garden."
Consort Liang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Although the servants had no idea what had happened.
Seeing that Consort Liang had knelt down, they all knelt down as well.
"Rise," the Empress said, waving her hand dismissively. "You may all leave now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Consort Liang stood up from the ground in a state of fear and trepidation.
She really wanted to slap herself.
She felt that if she couldn't control her mouth, she would get herself into trouble sooner or later.
The Empress stared at the backs of the group of palace maids and eunuchs, remaining silent for a long time until they disappeared at the entrance of Qiluan Garden.
"Mother, Mother..."
Consort Shu's third son, Mu Junxi, carrying a schoolbag slung across his shoulder and holding a chicken leg in his hand, ran into Qiluan Garden while munching on it.
"Xi'er, why did you come at this hour?" Consort Shu asked, puzzled.
"Mother, Master said you were released from confinement today and asked me to come and see you. He also said something about filial piety being the most important thing. Oh dear, Mother, that sentence was too long, I can't remember it." Mu Junxi took another bite of chicken leg: "Where is my sister? I haven't seen her yet."
Consort Shu frowned as she listened to her son's words.
Don't say that the nine sons of the dragon each have their own preferences.
Even her own three sons were far inferior.
The eldest son, Mu Junhan, was exceptionally intelligent and diligent in his studies. Before he was even seven years old, he could recite the Four Books and Five Classics backwards.
The second son, Mu Junchen, was quick-witted and decisive. He began learning martial arts from his maternal grandfather, General Lu, before he was even three years old.
Only her third son.
The mere mention of him gave Consort Shu a headache.
He's good for nothing but eating.
My mind is completely occupied with food; I can't remember anything else.
"Your sister was taken away by Father." Consort Shu said, glancing out the window. "I reckon she should be brought back soon?"
"What?"
Mu Junxi's expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly felt that the chicken leg in his hand didn't taste so good anymore.
“Mother, I suddenly remembered that I still have homework to do. I will come to see you another day…”
