Chapter 279 Concubine Wen raises the Seventh Princess?

Just as they sat down, they saw fireworks outside already blooming in the sky.

【Mother, mother, come and see! 】

[It’s even prettier than the one my elder sister put in the palace! ]

[It was a pity that the fireworks were set off by my elder sister. It would have been more beautiful if they were set off at night.]

[I heard that the Empress Dowager secretly set it off in the Palace of Honor that night! Unfortunately, I didn’t see it.]

Lu Xingwan had now run to the window, staring at the fireworks outside and muttering.

Song Qingyan was also standing not far away, looking at the fireworks outside the window.

"These are fireworks that symbolize the happiness of Mr. Han and Miss Shen!" The eldest princess laughed, "When Qin Xing and I got married, the Qin family also set them off."

"So this is a folk custom?" Song Qingyan previously thought that the Han family chose to set off fireworks on this day just to liven things up.

"That's right, Madam Queen." Qin Xing looked at the eldest princess in front of him who was busy watching the fireworks outside, so he walked over to Song Qingyan and replied, "Speaking of folk customs, it's not entirely true. It's just that only some wealthy families have such a saying."

Song Qingyan nodded and muttered, "When Wanwan gets married, I will prepare a ceremony like this for her."

Just then the fireworks outside stopped, and the eldest princess turned around and looked at Song Qingyan with a smile: "Aunt, you are thinking too far ahead. Wanwan is not even one year old yet!"

That night, because the eldest princess had not been with Song Qingyan for a long time, in the end, Song Qingyan, the eldest princess and Lu Xingwan slept on the couch in the main room.

Qin Xing was driven to the study to rest.

"Aunt, I know you are worried about Wang Ruo." The eldest princess, who had been happy all day, finally spoke.

Song Qingyan didn't expect that the eldest princess would suddenly mention Qin Xing's cousin.

The mother and daughter didn't say anything, but just looked at Lu Xingruo in front of them.

"But after all, no one is perfect," the princess sighed and continued, "Qin Xing is just soft-hearted. Anyway, he has no feelings for that cousin."

Song Qingyan nodded: "As long as he is loyal to you, I will feel relieved."

But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Qin Xing had been the head of the Qin family for so many years. Old Lady Qin had always been supporting him.

It is wrong for the head of the family to be soft-hearted.

When the eldest princess heard Song Qingyan's words, she was moved and leaned towards her.

My mother has passed away for so many years, but it is thanks to my aunt that she has always been with me and my brother, the Crown Prince.

After all, Song Qingyan was a concubine. Although His Majesty was kind, it was not a good idea for her to stay outside the palace for too long. Early the next morning, the group packed their bags and prepared to return to the palace.

Before leaving, the eldest princess specifically asked Qin Xing to go to Fuman Pavilion in the capital to pick up two boxes of snacks.

"Aunt, this Fu Man Pavilion is a new dim sum shop that opened recently in Beijing. The ingredients used are very exquisite and the taste is also very different."

"I specially picked some flavors that are different from those in the palace. Auntie should also bring a box for the Empress Dowager."

The eldest princess reluctantly handed the food box in her hand to Jinxin, and then went forward to tease Lu Xingwan in Jinyu's arms.

Song Qingyan smiled and said, "Your father will be jealous if this happens."

"Father, don't you like snacks?" A few people laughed and joked a few more times, and then Song Qingyan stepped onto the sedan chair and went to the palace.

Because she had the snacks sent by the eldest princess, Song Qingyan did not go back to Qingyun Palace directly after returning to the palace, but went to the Queen Mother's Rongle Palace first.

Song Qingyan didn't expect that Concubine Wen was in the Empress Dowager's palace.

Sister Wen has never liked going out, but now, for Jinrui, she often goes out for a walk.

But it is really rare to go to the Empress Dowager's palace alone.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

When Song Qingyan paid her respects to the empress dowager, Concubine Wen had already stood up. The two of them greeted each other and then sat down.

The Queen Mother hurriedly ordered Jinyu to bring Lu Xingwan over: "We went out to play these past two days, were we happy?"

Lu Xingwan immediately began to shake his head in the empress dowager's arms.

[Of course I am happy, my royal grandmother.]

[The street view outside is so beautiful. I bought a lot of things every night. We also watched the fireworks in the Korean Palace last night.]

【The wedding banquet was also very lively. 】

Lu Xingwan introduced everything to the Queen Mother in great detail, as if she could understand.

Seeing Lu Xingwan like this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What a naughty boy!"

Song Qingyan also took the opportunity to hand over the food box in her hand.

Because they were worried about disturbing the Queen Mother, Jin Xin and Pei Chuyan were sent back to Qingyun Palace by Song Qingyan.

"I heard from Xing Ruo that this is something from a new dim sum shop that opened in the capital. The taste is very different from that in the palace, so I brought it back specially for the Empress Dowager to try."

Concubine Wen also smiled and said, "The eldest princess has always been a filial child. She always thinks about the Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother smiled as she watched Nanny Su open the food box that Song Qingyan had handed over. She smiled and replied, "Xingruo is indeed a filial daughter. If every princess was as sensible as Xingruo, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"

After the Queen Mother said this, she couldn't help but sigh.

Song Qingyan and Concubine Wen looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. Then she asked, "What's wrong with the Empress Dowager? Why are you sighing when you are fine?"

The Queen Mother still did not speak.

Madam Su beside the empress dowager bowed and said to Song Qingyan and Concubine Wen: "You two madams also know that now that Concubine Shu has passed away, the second princess is easy to deal with and has already married."

"But the Seventh Princess is only three or four years old now, and she has lost her mother. I don't know what to do with her."

"The Queen Mother has been worried about this matter these past two days!"

[Why not just find a concubine to replace her? ]

Lu Xingwan also looked quite indifferent.

[As a child, it is better to have a mother by your side. You can’t just leave her to the care of a nanny.]

[There are so many idle ladies in the palace, just pick one at random. ]

[It's better than her mother who totally ignored her and her sisters and just treated them as tools to gain power.]

[Perhaps Shupin secretly hated herself for not giving birth to a son! ]

Song Qingyan couldn't help but look at Lu Xingwan, which was quite different from her usual thoughts.

But she is right, this is the best method.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyan's mind began to spin rapidly. Who should she find?

The Queen Mother's next words interrupted her imagination. She just looked at Concubine Wen and said, "I called you here because of this matter. I wanted to discuss with you whether we can bring the Seventh Princess back to Hanguang Palace to raise her."

"I know you are a quiet person, but now the Third Princess is in the Lan Fei Palace, and you are the most suitable person now."
