Chapter 108: Carrying Xiaoxiao to the Cining Palace
And on the prince's side.
After Yang Guifei met Hong Yun, he immediately knew about this.
He has quite a few spies in the palace.
For example...Zhou Jingtao, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
In this palace, most things cannot escape the eyes of the guards.
For safety reasons, Yan Shixu never had any private contact with Zhang Jingtao.
The person responsible for secretly contacting him has always been Zhang Sicheng.
Zhang Sicheng returned to the East Palace in his night clothes in the middle of the night. He did not delay and hurried to Yuqing Palace with a serious expression.
Yan Shixu's expression also turned serious: "What happened?"
"Your Highness, after meeting with Hong Yun, Concubine Yang also met with the head maids and eunuchs from the other palaces. She plans to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet in two days, and has already sent invitations to the ladies of the various mansions in the capital."
"Hong Yun is the same. He met with many people and sent people to scout around the East Palace at night. It's obvious what he is planning."
"Also, Yang Guifei requested an audience with the Emperor today. As soon as night fell, the Emperor summoned her father and brother to the palace, and they left an hour later."
He entered the palace at night and had a private conversation for such a long time.
Yan Shixu asked, "After the emperor summoned them, did anything unusual happen?"
Zhang Sicheng shook his head. This was also what confused him.
"There was nothing unusual. After the two left, the emperor went to sleep."
Yan Shixu seemed to be lost in thought. The biggest anomaly was that there was nothing unusual.
He ordered, "Tell Zuo Qing to take some people to protect Qionghua Palace. To prevent them from attacking Li'er and Xiaoxiao."
Zhang Sicheng glanced at him and asked cautiously, "What about the Crown Princess?"
Yan Shixu paused and nodded: "Send a team over as well."
"Yes." Zhang Sicheng retreated respectfully.
…
Wen Li'er was a little confused when she saw that there were suddenly many Eastern Palace guards guarding outside her Qionghua Palace.
After asking around, she found out that there had been unrest in the palace recently, and these guards were sent by His Highness to protect her and Xiaoxiao.
So, Wen Li'er decided to stay in Qionghua Palace and not go anywhere.
Anyway, there is no need to pay respects to Fuyao Palace now.
The garden of Qionghua Palace is big enough. When I am bored, I will hold Xiaoxiao and walk in the garden.
Or you can read to Xiaoxiao and teach Shaoyao and the others how to play chess, and life can be very comfortable.
Unfortunately, just as she finished thinking this, someone came from the Cining Palace.
It was said that the Queen Mother wanted to see Xiao Xiao and asked her to take the child with her.
Wen Li'er was puzzled.
Whenever the Queen Mother wanted to take Xiaoxiao away, she would send someone to carry him away directly.
Why did she have to carry Xiaoxiao over personally this time?
Wen Li'er couldn't help feeling a little nervous. While the palace maid was drinking tea outside, she asked Nanny Qin softly.
"Mammy, tell me, what does the Queen Mother want to talk to me about?"
Nanny Qin frowned and shook her head.
"I don't know, it may be related to the Crown Prince's favoritism towards the Master. The Master should be more careful in his actions."
Upon hearing this, Wen Li'er hurried to the cabinet to take out her knee pads and put them on.
It is better to be prepared.
After making sure that there were no clues, she went to hug Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao was still sleeping, but woke up when she hugged him.
He opened his bright black eyes and looked at Wen Li'er carefully for a long time.
After confirming that this was his biological mother, he exclaimed happily.
Wen Li'er carried him out, followed by Qingmei Qingzhu and wet nurse He. They went to Cining Palace with the palace maid.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, Wen Li'er handed Xiaoxiao to He.
She took a cloth tiger from Qingmei and played with Xiaoxiao as she walked.
The owl stretched out its little hands to pull the cloth tiger.
Don't be fooled by his small size and small hands, he is very strong.
He pulled the tiger's tail hard and actually snatched the cloth tiger from Wen Li'er's hands.
Then, the cloth tiger pressed down on his little face.
Seeing his bewildered look, Wen Li'er burst out laughing and quickly took the cloth tiger away from his face.
Xiaoxiao stared at the cloth tiger in Wen Lier's hand, pursed his lips, and was about to cry.
Wen Li'er tried to comfort him: "We are men, Xiaoxiao. Don't cry. The little tiger stepped on Xiaoxiao's face. Can you help me beat it?"
As she spoke, she patted the cloth tiger's butt a few times.
"Yeah..." Xiaoxiao looked at it and waved his hands happily again.
When he arrived at the Cining Palace, he was still in this excited state.
The queen was also in the Cining Palace at this time.
Wen Li'er hurriedly bowed to the two of them.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Empress."
"Get up."
When the Queen Mother saw Xiaoxiao's charming smile, she hurriedly asked He to give her the child.
Xiaoxiao stared at the Queen Mother for a long time, as if trying to identify who she was.
His eyes were black and bright, like agate soaked in water, making people unable to look away.
The Queen Mother reached out to pinch his little nose, and Xiao Xiao's eyes immediately fell on the ring on the Queen Mother's finger.
"ah……"
He stretched out his little hands to reach it, but his hands were too short and he couldn't reach it.
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother took off the ring and let him play with it.
Xiaoxiao held on tightly with his little hands and giggled happily.
Wen Li'er was worried that he would put the ring in his mouth, so she watched carefully.
The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Xiao carefully and liked him more and more.
She said to the Queen, "Xiaoxiao looks like Xu'er, but his cheerful nature is quite different from Xu'er's."
The queen nodded in agreement, not knowing what she was thinking of.
Wen Li'er thought, it looks like her.
My parents told me that she loved to laugh when she was a child.
The Queen Mother finally remembered that Wen Li'er was nearby and praised her, "Dear Concubine Wen, you've taken great care of this child. He's fair, plump, and loves to laugh. Bring him to me often in the future."
Wen Li'er naturally had no reason not to respond.
He nodded quickly in agreement.
And then... nothing happened.
To be honest, Wen Li'er was still in a daze after carrying Xiaoxiao back to the East Palace.
Did the Queen Mother really just ask her to take the child and take a look?
After asking about the situation, Nanny Qin was also a little confused.
Wen Li'er felt a little ashamed when she thought of the knee pads on her knees.
In this way, she is judging others by her own standards.
