Looking at the handsome face of the man who had fallen asleep peacefully again, Yan Yuning put away the ointment, lowered the imperial curtain, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
——
The Queen Mother's bedroom.
The fifth master Xuan Zhaoran, his wife Jiang Xian, and the eldest master Xuan Zhaoyang were all there.
"Greetings, mother." Yan Yuning walked into the hall and bowed with a smile.
"May the Empress Xuan be well and safe."
Xuan Zhaoran and Jiang Xian's voices were one high and one low, and the maids in the palace also bowed.
"Ningning, come and sit down." The Queen Mother waved at Yan Yuning with a faint smile.
"Okay." Yan Yuning sat next to the Empress Dowager, looked at Xuan Zhaoyang and said with a smile, "Royal Sister."
Xuan Zhaoyang nodded with complicated emotions. Back then, she abandoned Xiaoxiao and left without a word, which caused that brat Xuan Xixi to have a mental breakdown. It would be a lie to say that he had no resentment towards her.
There's no point in complaining. It's Xuan Xixi's fault for being so useless. If Ningning hadn't come back suddenly, she might have gone to Chaxi Town again.
She was too lazy to say anything.
The Queen Mother took Yan Yuning's hand with a gentle smile on her face, "Ningning, wait until Xiaoxiao and Momo finish their morning classes and your father leaves the court, and have someone invite Yuer to go have lunch together."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, mother." Yan Yuning responded obediently.
"Mother, my father is getting old. Isn't it time for Your Majesty to handle Xuan Zhao's affairs himself? He is idle every day, and my father is busy running around for him. He has more white hair."
Xuan Zhaoyang really felt sorry for the retired emperor. The throne of Prince Xuan was succeeded by Xuan Xixi, but his father still had to go to court and deal with memorials on time.
All matters big and small for Xuan Zhao were handled by his father, and he had spoiled his precious son since he was young, so he would get anxious when he had nothing to do.
The Queen Mother said leisurely, "Go and persuade him. If you can persuade Yu'er, your father will reward you with a shop and a mansion as a thank you."
Xuan Zhaoyang pursed his lips and said, "My Queen Mother is too kind."
She didn't dare to persuade him.
She used to dare to say something to him, but ever since Ningning left, his temper has become unpredictable and she doesn't dare to provoke him.
"The Empress Dowager, Empress Xuan, the eldest princess, the fifth princess, the prince consort, and the emperor have important matters to deal with. I told you that I cannot come to the family banquet today." Feng Xixi walked into the hall with a heavy face to report.
"I know."
"Then I will withdraw first." Feng Xixi turned around hurriedly and strode out of the bedroom.
"What's the important matter? Why is Feng Xixi so impatient?" Xuan Zhaoyang said after a slight hesitation.
"Okay, stop guessing, let's go to Taiyi Palace." The Empress Dowager stood up, Yan Yuning held her hand, and the two of them left the bedroom first.
"Royal sister, let's go." Xuan Zhaoran smiled and took Xuan Zhaoyang's arm.
"Be careful. You have to be extra careful when you're pregnant, especially when you're about to give birth. OK?" Xuan Zhaoyang warned.
Xuan Zhaoran stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh, with Ah Xian here, my sister doesn't have to worry."
"You." Xuan Zhaoyang tapped her forehead, "Only Ah Xian has spoiled you since you were a child."
"Royal sister, I am willing. I will be very happy if Ranran is willing to marry me." Jiang Xian smiled tenderly.
He had heard from his mother that Ranran had chosen him from a pile of portraits given to her by the Empress Dowager, and he was so happy at that time.
It was like he had suddenly picked up a treasure. Now this treasure has a little baby, and he is very content.
Xuan Zhaoran smiled proudly, "Royal sister, did you hear that? Ah Xian is willing."
Xuan Zhaoyang shook his head and muttered, "How come there are two other people like Xuan Xixi?"
Xuan Zhaoran: "..."
