Chapter 1248: The Emperor and Empress Appear Together
Zheng Suxin had her back to the Xuanyuan Hui sisters, so she naturally didn't notice the silent confrontation between Tang Bao and her sisters.
"Princess Fude, you mean, my brother's legs..." Zheng Suxin's face showed a hint of disbelief and surprise.
Tang Bao glanced at Zheng Suxin and said, "I didn't say anything."
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"
Following a shout of "hello", Emperor Tianxi, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the Empress, dressed in a brocade phoenix robe, came from a distance, surrounded by people.
The guests in the entire garden were immediately in an uproar.
The Emperor and the Empress actually came!
Especially the Queen Mother, she hasn't appeared in public for ten years.
Even when the Emperor was in the hunting grounds, he pardoned the Empress because of the Phoenix Seal.
Because of the Emperor and Xuanyuan Hui's deliberate efforts, the Empress Dowager gained the reputation of being the Phoenix of Heaven among the people, which overshadowed the impact of the witchcraft case that year, but it still did not appear in people's sight.
The gate of the Queen Mother's Kunhe Palace was open, but no outsiders were allowed in.
Not to mention accepting the homage of the court ladies, the Empress did not even receive the imperial concubines and others in the palace.
Apart from meeting his biological son, everything else was no different from before.
The Imperial Concubine still takes charge of the six palaces, and the Empress still stays indoors.
No one expected that the Queen Mother would appear in public for the first time in many years at Prince Ning's Mansion.
For the Ning Wang Mansion, the simultaneous arrival of the Emperor and Empress was the highest honor.
It is said that when the old lady of Prince Rong’s Mansion celebrated her birthday, the emperor only sent a few princes.
Now, Prince Ning and the Emperor are of the same generation, so not only the princes came, but the Emperor and the Empress also came.
Without comparison, there is no gap.
Moreover, there is such a huge gap.
At this time, no one could tell that the emperor treated the Ning Prince's Mansion and the Rong Prince's Mansion differently.
Xuanyuan Hui and Xuanyuan Min were shocked, and at the same time, they felt their faces burning and their hearts were filled with indignation.
Her father and her brother have made so many military achievements, aren't they a hundred times more powerful than Prince Ning?
Princess Ning was in the octagonal pavilion not far away, talking to Old Lady Su and others. Upon hearing the words, she immediately led a group of officials and their wives and hurried forward to welcome the emperor.
Tang Bao and the other guests who were chatting and admiring the flowers around hurried over to welcome the emperor.
Tang Bao noticed that Xuanyuan Jin was walking behind the Queen with a hint of excitement on his face.
It seems that the little brother was not sure whether the beautiful aunt would really walk out of Kunhe Palace.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I pay my respects to you," Princess Ning said while kneeling.
Emperor Tianxi said in a gentle voice: "No need to be so polite, my sister-in-law. Please stand up."
Then, someone presented a gift.
The emperor and empress rewarded each other with a pair of jade ruyi.
The gifts were nothing special, but even a piece of dogtail grass given by the Emperor and the Empress would be covered with a layer of gold and offered as a sacrifice.
Prince Ning and Princess Ning, along with their son, knelt down again to express their gratitude together.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the queen!" Prince Ning said loudly with a look of gratitude.
"Stand up." Emperor Tianxi smiled and waved his hand.
The Queen Mother took a few steps forward and personally pulled up Princess Ning.
Princess Ning looked at the Queen and her eyes immediately turned red.
I feel both happy and excited.
The two of them were close friends in the boudoir and were as close as sisters.
I haven't seen you for all these years, so naturally I'm very excited.
"I'm so glad that Your Majesty can come..." Princess Ning said. Her calm and elegant expression had long disappeared. She shook hands with the Queen, and was so happy that she seemed like a little girl, her whole body glowing.
The Queen smiled and said, "Jinzhi has become younger and younger over the years."
Jinzhi is the pen name of Princess Ning.
"The Empress is mocking me again." Princess Ning also laughed and said, "Compared to the Empress, I am like a firefly compared to the sun and the moon. I dare not call myself young..."
The ladies present heard what the two said, then looked at Princess Ning and the Queen, whose faces seemed to have been forgotten by time. It would be a lie to say they were not jealous.
Especially after seeing the Queen, the shock in my heart was beyond words.
It’s okay for those who have never seen the Queen before.
People like the Second Lady of the Bai Family had naturally seen the Queen Mother before, but now seeing the Queen Mother like this, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves and they were extremely shocked.
A woman who had been imprisoned for ten years not only did not look haggard or old, but she actually looked younger and more beautiful than she did ten years ago.
This is unreasonable!
Especially the Queen's temperament, which is noble and elegant with a touch of otherworldly elegance, making people dare not look directly at her.
To look directly at it is a blasphemy.
Many ladies couldn't help but touch the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes.
So sour!
Tang Bao stood in the distance, looking at the two beauties with a smile, who combined grace and beauty.
Really pleasing to the eyes!
Tang Bao did not come forward.
At this time, she was just a little girl, so she should just watch from a distance.
Princess Linghua leaned close to Tang Bao's ear and whispered, "No wonder the Third Prince is so handsome. It turns out the Queen is so beautiful..."
Tang Bao nodded in agreement.
If it weren't for the Queen's genes, the little brother would definitely not have such an enchanting appearance.
Tang Bao subconsciously glanced at Xuanyuan Jin.
At this time, Xuanyuan Jin happened to look at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao curved her eyebrows and blinked at Xuanyuan Jin with a smile.
Xuanyuan Jin's mouth corners curled up involuntarily.
The interaction between the two happened to be seen by Xuanyuan Min, who was afraid of Tang Bao but had been paying attention to her.
Xuanyuan Min clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with viciousness and unwillingness.
Soon, Princess Ning happily invited the Queen to take a seat.
Prince Ning respectfully invited the emperor to the place where male guests were entertained.
Because of the arrival of the Queen Mother, the ladies and girls from various families present became much more reserved.
There is no one walking around anymore, admiring the flowers and chatting.
The first and second wives of the general's mansion, along with Yang Ran and her sister, came forward excitedly to pay their respects to the empress.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
The first and second wives' voices choked before they could finish their words.
"No need to be so polite, sister-in-law."
The Queen Mother helped her two sisters-in-law up, her eyes red.
The aunts and sisters-in-law hadn't seen each other for ten years, so naturally they were feeling very emotional.
When Princess Ning saw this, she calmly waved her hand and told the others in the octagonal pavilion to leave quietly, leaving the space to the Empress and the women of the general's mansion.
"Is father in good health?" asked the Queen with red eyes.
"In reply to the Queen, Dad has always been in good health," said the eldest lady.
The Second Madam also said, "I heard from the Second Master that Dad has been under the care of Princess Ford in Fengqi County these years. He has taken health pills on time, and his body is stronger than before."
The Queen naturally knows these things.
However, now that I heard my second sister-in-law say this, I understand that my second brother and second sister-in-law must be very grateful to Tang Bao in their hearts.
The Queen was very satisfied with this.
