The Empress Dowager's health is too weak. It's because she doesn't like to move around much. She should get up and move around more in the future. She will supervise the Empress Dowager to exercise more and take good care of her health.
The Empress was indeed not very active. As the eldest daughter of a prominent family, she rarely went out before marriage, spending her days in her own courtyard embroidering and reading. Her health had always been delicate and frail.
After marrying the emperor and becoming empress, she spent most of her time in the palace, occasionally taking a stroll in the imperial garden. Unfortunately, she couldn't conceive and remained childless even after becoming empress, which caused her great distress and made her very unhappy.
After much difficulty, she gave birth to a child, a beautiful and delicate little princess. Both the emperor and she herself doted on the princess to the extreme. The little princess also brought good fortune to the Great Jin Dynasty. However, the little princess was kidnapped by thieves when she was only four years old.
The empress thought the princess was dead and fell seriously ill, almost dying herself. Even though she survived, her health never improved and she remained depressed.
After several years of searching, the Queen finally found the princess, which cheered her up. But who could have imagined that the princess was a fake, and that a ruthless woman was secretly poisoning the Queen.
It would be a miracle if the Empress recovered from her illness. Now that the real princess has been found, we can only hope that she can regain her health.
With mixed feelings, Granny Chen and the palace maid He Ye helped the Empress up. "Your Highness, Your Majesty is too weak to get up for a meal. This old servant will feed her. She can return to Huayun Palace tomorrow after she has rested."
"Is Mother feeling unwell? If you can't get up, just sit on the bed. Get up when you can." Xingxing looked obedient, her big, watery eyes filled with heartache.
The Empress's heart softened at her gaze, and she suddenly perked up. She smiled and said, "Since Mother can get up, I'll go sit at the table and eat. After we finish, we'll go back to Huayun Palace. Long'er, come back to Huayun Palace with me."
The Empress had her own plans. She felt that Jinyu Palace was somewhat unlucky. So many things had happened while her little princess lived there, so the feng shui of the palace must be bad. It would be better to move the little princess to another palace.
Shui Li Niang died here, and a fake princess once lived here. She is no longer worthy of Long'er. If it weren't for her poor health, which caused her to faint while crying and only wake up now, she would have left Jinyu Palace with the princess long ago.
“Alright, Long’er also wants to spend more time with Mother. From now on, Long’er will not live here anymore. How about living with Mother in Huayun Palace?” Xingxing didn’t dislike Jinyu Palace. She just felt that living alone in a palace was too lonely. Even with a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs, it was not as heartwarming as being by her mother’s side.
"Alright, we'll leave after we finish eating. We'll find you a better courtyard later, and you won't have to live here anymore." The Empress clearly didn't understand Xingxing's thoughts and was only focused on changing her palace.
The boy stood silently to the side without saying a word. When the Queen sat down at the table, the boy naturally sat down next to Xingxing, and only then did the Queen notice him.
"This young master..." The Empress was about to ask about the boy's identity. Although she knew that the boy was with those men in white and had saved the little princess, the Empress's attention had been focused on the matter of the real and fake princesses.
Therefore, she didn't know the young man's true identity and wondered why he was still in the palace and hadn't left. Now, while she and the princess were eating, he sat down casually, acting as if he were no stranger to them.
