Chapter 952
The death of Consort Jing did not cause any significant disturbance inside or outside the palace.
It was as if she had simply died suddenly from an acute illness. However, the people in the palace were very secretive about the palace where she had lived, and no one was willing to go there even during the day.
Her sudden death disrupted Consort Xi's original plans.
However, this is also good, it saves me a lot of trouble.
However, suddenly having free time, Consort Xi actually felt a bit bored.
She always had something to do before. Even if the emperor didn't come, she could still make herself happy with those exquisite little gadgets.
But for some reason, she couldn't muster any interest in those things now.
With nothing else to do, she went to the yard.
But it's also boring.
At this moment, Consort Xi finally understood why everyone in the palace wanted a child.
In this lonely palace, children are the most vibrant life.
Consort Xi let out a sigh of relief: "I remember there are quite a few children in the palace who have lost their mothers?"
A palace maid stepped forward and said, "There are indeed some, but they are all princesses... Mistress, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Of course, some princes also lost their mothers, but those princes had long been taken away by the masters of their respective palaces and would not have remained until now.
Consort Xi said, "Our palace is too quiet, don't you think?"
The palace maid asked in bewilderment, "Isn't it better to be quiet? His Majesty also prefers quiet."
Consort Xi glanced at her, but ultimately held back the words that were about to come out.
What is the emperor's status? In this palace, he has plenty of places to go if he wants peace and quiet. Does he need another place like her?
But she's different.
She lives in this palace every day and just wants it to be lively.
"Take me to see where those children are being raised."
They're all princesses? That would be even better.
Most people don't value their daughters, let alone care about them.
Ironically, among those who do this are many who were originally raised as daughters.
They understand the plight of women best, yet through the daily grind, they grow into the very people they hated most in their childhood.
Qu Ling, don't become that kind of person.

Outside the palace, the Yunnan Prince's Mansion.
"Did Consort Xi adopt two princesses?"
Upon hearing this news, Huo Zhao thought he had misheard.
That's Consort Xi!
She has such a maternal instinct?
Le'an nodded: "The information can't be wrong, that's exactly what happened."
It's said that Consort Xi originally only intended to raise one child, but the child she liked had a very good friend, so Consort Xi simply took both of them home.
Huo Zhao smirked: "How old are these kids?"
"Three or four years old, I guess."
Huo Zhao shook his head.
Consort Xi, oh Consort Xi, you are still so young.
She was already overwhelmed with just one child, and couldn't imagine how chaotic things must be on Consort Xi's side.
"Let's go take a look in a couple of days."
Jixiang said, "Princess, Young Master Duan is preparing to leave the capital to take up his post."
Huo Zhao was stunned.
She seemed to have not heard from Duan Huaichuan in a long time: "Where are you going?"
Yangzhou.
Yangzhou...
Huo Zhao nodded: "When are you leaving?"
"It seems to be tomorrow."
