Inside the carriage, the father and daughter were having a great time.

At this time, the two maids and the coachman sat together, and they tried their best to reduce their presence.

They originally thought that the young man in the carriage who claimed to be their young lady's father should be living in the area for officials or nobles in the west of the city. After all, his clothes and temperament were not like those of an ordinary person.

But the carriage went straight through the officials' residences and finally arrived at the imperial palace!

By this time, the expressions on the faces of the two little maids had turned into astonishment. No matter how much they guessed and thought, they never expected that they would end up in front of the palace.

Seeing the carriage passing through the moat unimpeded and still moving forward, the little maid sitting on the left next to the driver looked at the driver cautiously and asked timidly, "Brother driver, where are we going?"

"The palace." The driver spoke concisely and to the point. Looking at his stern profile, the maidservant did not dare to ask any more questions and could only be shocked along with the other maidservant beside her.

Why did they end up in the palace?!

The two little maids began to silently guess the true identity of the person in the carriage.

Could it be the Emperor? Or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince?

There are only a few people in the world who can enter and exit the palace unimpeded.

"Your Highness, please return to the palace. Let him pass." After seeing the carriage, the guards hurriedly opened the palace gate, then looked at the driver who was driving the carriage and saluted again, "Your Excellency the Commander."

At this moment, the two little maids were shocked again.

Originally they thought the coachman was just a coachman, but who would have thought that in this life they would be able to sit in a carriage driven by the commander himself, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind them.

The two maids looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Just now, the young lady called the Crown Prince "Daddy", which means that the young master and young lady in the mansion may not be the sons of wealthy merchants, but the prince and princess, and the only prince and princess in the entire dynasty! Then, Miss Su is the Crown Princess or the Crown Prince's concubine. She is the only woman in the world who gave birth to a prince and a princess for the Crown Prince. Even if she did not become the Crown Princess, when the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, Miss Su would become the Queen Mother! According to the whole logic, the two maids were completely dumbfounded. They never thought that they would be able to enter the palace and learn this shocking secret just because they went out to play with the young lady today.

Fu Huaichu did not return to the East Palace, but brought Zhezhi to the Kunning Palace where the Queen lived.

"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," the maid at the door of the Queen's bedroom was shocked to see Fu Huaichu leading a delicate little girl. She quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is checking the palace accounts at the moment. Your servant will go and pass on the message."

Fu Huaichu nodded, "Thank you."

Soon, the head maid beside the queen came out hurriedly, "Your Highness, the queen wants to see you."

Fu Huaichu picked up the broken branch and walked straight in.

The two maids had never seen a palace before and were extremely curious about everything. However, they also knew their limits. This was the palace, a place with the strictest rules, so they naturally did not dare to make any mistakes. They stood at the door with their heads lowered and did not dare to utter a word.

After Fu Huaichu and Zhezhi entered Kunning Palace, the queen was frowning because there were too many account books and she was annoyed. But when she saw the little baby in Fu Huaichu's arms, she suddenly perked up and even her eyes were filled with surprise.

"Huaichu, you actually brought Zhezhi with you!" The queen immediately put down her pen and stood up, looking at Zhezhi with a smile, "Zhezhi, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time. How are you? Do you miss grandma?"

"Zhizhi misses her grandma," Zhezhi rushed over, her big beautiful eyes.

"Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother," Fu Huaichu bowed somewhat helplessly. After the Queen waved her hand, he looked at Zhezhi and continued, "Zhezhi just met me and immediately said that she missed her grandparents, so I brought her here."

"You have done a good thing." The queen glanced at him casually, then turned around and picked up Zhezhi again. Her voice became eight times softer. "Zhizhi still has grandma in her heart. I'm so glad. Do you want to be a princess and wear beautiful dresses? How about Zhizhi stay and live with grandma?"

She was not young anymore, but her two sons were still unmarried. She had always wanted a grandchild, but her two sons would not listen, and showed no interest in arranged marriages or other arrangements.

Fortunately, her daughter-in-law, Ruan Ruan, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She and the emperor dreamed every day of having these two children by their side.

"Mother, is father in the study?" Fu Huaichu looked at the queen. He was a little helpless. As soon as the queen saw her granddaughter, she immediately forgot everything, such as checking the account books and managing the harem.

The queen waved her hand, still wanting to stay close to the fragrant branch. She said casually, "It's okay. No matter where you are, you should be back soon. Your father comes here for lunch every day, and today will be no exception."

The emperor and the empress had a very good relationship. The harem was originally in name only. Later, the emperor felt that the expenses were too high, so he simply disbanded the harem. Only he and the empress were left. As he grew old, he didn't think too much. Even in the royal family, he just wanted to enjoy the company of his grandchildren.

Zhezhi was held by the Queen and sat on the soft couch. The Queen kept feeding her various snacks. The little girl's cheeks were full of snacks, and even the corners of her mouth were covered with residues. The Queen gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Grandma, are you checking the account books?" Zhezhi tilted her head and looked at the pile of account books on the table in a baby voice. She took out one with her little hands and looked at it carefully.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The queen smiled and said, "Can Zhizhi understand?"

Zhezhi nodded.

Fu Huaichu sat opposite her and looked at the account books on the table. "This year, the Queen Mother checked the account books early."

"It's too tiring to get it done before the New Year," the queen sighed deeply, her hand on her forehead, "Luckily there are no concubines in the harem now, otherwise I'm afraid it will take me ten days and ten nights to get these account books done. The recent accounts don't match. Just look at the one in Zhezhi's hand. There's always an entry that I don't know if it was calculated wrong or was embezzled, the numbers just don't match."

The queen originally wanted to ask the head maid to prepare some snacks for Zhezhi.

However, at this moment, Zhezhi turned over two pages of the account book, and suddenly turned back and looked at the queen, "Grandma, it seems that there is a mistake in the account book."

"ah?"

Her childish voice made the queen turn around in surprise.

"It should be counted as 400 kilograms of tea, but it is calculated based on 4 kilograms of tea. There is something wrong with the calculation here." Zhezhi picked up the brush beside him, drew a circle on the account, and handed it to the queen. "If this is the case, it will be correct."
