Chapter 1043: Still Need to Go to Hanguang Palace
Now, Jinxin and Jinyu have no expectations for marriage anymore.
Even a figure like the Imperial Concubine can only live out her life alone in this deep palace, let alone them?
Song Qingyan had tried to persuade them, but no matter how much she persuaded them, they had made up their minds.
Song Qingyan has always respected them both, so she no longer forced them and had to respect their choice.
But perhaps because she always felt guilty, she treated them even better than before.
Now, everyone in the palace said that the Royal Concubine treated her two aunts, Jinxin and Jinyu, as if they were her own sisters.
At this time, Jin Xin followed behind Lu Xingwan. For some reason, she seemed to be ready to die.
She couldn't help but slow down her pace, frowned slightly, and there was some doubt in her eyes.
Didn’t the princess just come back not long ago?
Is there any conflict with Hanguang Palace?
Empress Wen has always been a very kind person, isn't that right?
While she was thinking carefully, Wanwan had already made a lot of progress with big strides.
Without having time to think about anything more, Jinxin quickened her pace and followed closely behind the princess.
The little maid at the gate of Concubine Wen's palace was also very smart.
Seeing Wanwan's figure appearing on the palace road, he hurried back to the palace and reported the matter to Concubine Wen.
There is only one palace on this road, Hanguang Palace, so Princess Yong'an was undoubtedly heading to Hanguang Palace.
Now everyone in the harem is excited about the princess' return.
I have to say that His Majesty really values the princess.
Because of the princess's return, every palace maid and eunuch in the harem received a reward.
They were all grateful to the princess.
Especially these younger girls, they entered the palace later and naturally had never seen Princess Yong'an.
So she was a little excited, and when she ran in front of Concubine Wen, her eyes were shining with excitement, and she didn't care at all about the sweat beads on her forehead.
Concubine Wen was sitting on the couch doing needlework, but she seemed a little absent-minded.
Of course, she also heard the news that Wanwan returned to the palace.
After all, everyone in every corner of the palace knew about it, so how could she not know it?
Although Wanwan left the palace early, she still remembered the pink jade bracelet she wore when she was a child. It was so clever and cute.
Moreover, since his enlightenment, the Fourth Prince has been studying with the Crown Prince, and has had less time to spend with her.
Fortunately, Xingyan is by my side.
But for some reason, she always felt that Xingyan was somewhat unfamiliar to her.
Even on the surface, Xingyan was always affectionate to her, but she felt that there was something weird about it.
However, over the years, she has truly been sincere and hardworking towards Lu Xingyan.
Although Wanwan is not her biological child, she always feels that she has a very good relationship with Wanwan.
When she came back Wanwan, she was naturally excited.
She wanted to visit Qingyun Palace several times, but finally gave up the idea.
Concubine Wen has always been a person who is very considerate of others. She knew in her heart that Wanwan had just returned to the palace and must have a lot of things to do and needed to be well taken care of.
So after thinking it over, she no longer considered going to Qingyun Palace to visit. It would be better to wait until the palace banquet was over and then go to Qingyun Palace to sit for a while.
This time when I come back, I will have to stay longer.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here!" The little palace maid suddenly bowed in front of her and told Concubine Wen what had happened, which scared her.
The maidservant beside Concubine Wen was about to reprimand the young maid, but she looked up at the Empress again: "Your Majesty, Princess Yong'an is here, and she's already at the palace gate!"
Upon hearing this, the needle and thread in Concubine Wen's hand suddenly fell onto the couch, and a light of surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes.
The lazy look just now has disappeared.
Without having time to pack up, she stood up, gently straightened her clothes, and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
She didn't expect that it would be Wanwan who came.
When Concubine Wen came out to greet them, Wanwan had already turned into the gate of Hanguang Palace. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other and were stunned where they were.
Concubine Wen looked at Wanwan Wan's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure, and her heart was filled with emotion.
I don’t know why, even though I watched Xingyan grow up, maybe because I watched her day by day, I didn’t feel that time passed so quickly.
When Wan Wan appeared in front of her that day, she was really stunned.
When Wanwan left the palace, she was still a little baby who needed to be held in arms. Although Wanwan was smarter and would have left earlier, looking at her now that she has grown into a beautiful adult, it is really...
It was at this moment that Concubine Wen felt for the first time the ruthlessness of time, which could change a person so much without her noticing.
But now, there is more warmth of a young girl in Wanwan's eyes and eyebrows, and she is no longer the naughty child before.
"Empress Wen!" With Wanwan's call, Concubine Wen came back to her senses. She walked forward quickly, stretched out her hands without hesitation, carefully took Wanwan's hands, and began to look her up and down.
In the past few days since returning to the palace, Wanwan has already gotten used to this kind of look.
Everyone who saw her would look her up and down, and some would even turn her around as if they were afraid that she might be missing some limbs.
Concubine Wen looked at Wanwan in front of her carefully. Wanwan's eyes were still as clear and lively as before, as if the little Wanwan was still standing in front of her.
It seems like Wanwan has never changed over the years.
But she also felt that although this girl had not grown up in the palace for so many years, the aura of confidence that emanated from her body could not be faked.
This is the princess of their Great Chu Kingdom, the Princess Yong'an who was raised in their hands.
Concubine Wen was worried that Wanwan had suffered some injustice outside over the years, or perhaps she had lived a humble life outside for so many years and now she no longer had the arrogance she once had.
But now it seems that I was overthinking it.
Concubine Wen was filled with emotion, and her eyes gradually became moist.
Seeing that Concubine Wen was about to burst into tears, Lu Xingwan hurried forward and pulled her hand: "Concubine Wen, Wanwan is back, Concubine Wen, please don't be sad."
"Good, Concubine Wen is happy!"
Lu Xingwan chuckled.
Afterwards, her small eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and with a bit of caution and curiosity in her eyes, she looked curiously into the Hanguang Palace.
Seeing Wanwan seemed to be looking for something, Concubine Wen also turned her head to look inside the hall.
Wanwan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked tentatively: "Empress Wen, are Fourth Brother and Seventh Sister not here?"
