Chapter 1512: Visiting Relatives
In Yonghe Palace.
This was the first time that King Wei Zhu Chengxuan had set foot in Yonghe Palace again after a long time.
He didn't know why, but his mother suddenly became cold towards him. Although she didn't ignore him, he could naturally feel the alienation at his age.
But this time, even though such a big thing happened in the harem, his mother became closer to him again.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. My father is not holding a banquet in the palace, so that the concubines in each palace can celebrate the New Year on their own. He took Xinping away again. I originally thought that I would spend the New Year alone, but I didn't expect that the Queen would send someone to pick me up.
I walked into Yonghe Palace cautiously and saw a table of steaming food inside.
You can tell from the fragrance that they are your favorites as soon as you smell them.
Zhu Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Xu Miaoyin sitting in front of him, smiling at him. He hurried forward and knelt down, "Your son greets the Queen Mother."
"Get up."
When he stood up, Xu Miaoyin reached out and patted his shoulder, saying with a smile, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
"yes."
"That's perfect. Come and have some food with Mother."
"yes……"
Zhu Chengxuan was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He quickly reached out to support the queen, and the two of them walked to the table and sat down.
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "You've grown a lot taller, but you're still thin."
“…”
"Eat more and grow stronger. Your father will be happy to see you."
"……yes."
Although Zhu Chengxuan didn't know why his mother was so hot and cold towards him, such tenderness at this moment was like a person who was almost frozen in the cold winter and suddenly found a warm spring day. He was already very happy, so why ask more?
So, I sat down obediently and had dinner with her.
Xu Miaoyin didn't eat much herself, but she picked up a lot of food for him.
While the two of them were eating, Xu Miaoyin asked, "By the way, why isn't Xinping here?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan immediately said, "In the evening, my father sent someone to take my sister away."
"oh……"
Xu Miaoyin was stunned when she heard this.
But immediately, he seemed to understand something and nodded gently: "So that's how it is."
Zhu Chengxuan felt as if she had thought of something, and whispered, "Mother, what's wrong?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked at him for a while, thought for a moment, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She said, "It's nothing. Having you accompany mother is enough."
Hearing her say this, Zhu Chengxuan became even happier.
However, he couldn't show it too much. He just stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of Xu Miaoyin's favorite dish, and put it in her bowl. Xu Miaoyin ate it with a smile.

It's warm on this side.
On the carriage leaving the palace, there was a completely different atmosphere.
Hearing Zhu Feng's words, Nan Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she tilted her head to look at him.
Although the light in the car was very dim, Zhu Feng could still feel the pair of clear eyes looking at him, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
But he immediately coughed lightly.
Then he said, "This time you begged me, and I had no choice but to agree. If there is a situation like this again in the future, I won't have the time to deal with them one by one."
“…”
"Got it?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him for a long while before saying, "I understand."
"snort!"
“…”
For some reason, when Nan Yan heard him snort coldly, she felt like laughing, but at the same time, she also felt an indescribable bitter feeling rising from her heart, making her feel a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng turned his head away at this time and was not looking at him.
She didn't want him to see it.
At this time, Xinping in her arms was still babbling, hugging her neck and repeatedly asking, "Mother, where are we going?"
Nan Yan looked down at her and said with a smile, "Go to your uncle's house."
"Uncle?"
Xinping blinked his eyes, looking puzzled: "Uncle, what is it?"
“…”
"Is it tasty?"
“…”
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth, reached out and twisted her face hard, saying, "You only know how to eat. Are you a princess or a pig?"
“Woo…”
"The uncle is your uncle, the uncle of my mother."
“…”
"He's a very learned man, but you don't get to meet him often. He has older brothers and sisters at home. You'll get to know him if you go."
Although Xinping's mouth immediately pursed when she heard that she couldn't eat it, her eyes lit up again when she heard that she had brothers and sisters.
She had only one brother, the King of Wei, in the palace, but he was extremely kind to her. He would never give her the moon or the stars if she asked for them. She just thought that if she had more brothers and sisters, there would be more people who would treat her well.
So he clapped his hands and laughed, "I want to go, I want to go!"
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Feng also reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Even when you go to your uncle's house, you are not allowed to ask for food. If someone doesn't know, they would think I starved you in the palace."
“Woo…”
From time to time, the clear laughter of children and the laughter of two adults could be heard from the golden car.
Accompanied by such laughter, the carriage smoothly passed through the bustling streets of the capital. From time to time, the crackling sound of firecrackers set off by some children on the street could be heard.
Nan Yan had been ill for these days and was weak, so she couldn't bear to hear such sounds. But with her daughter by her side, she had to be brave, so she hugged Xinping in her arms and wanted to cover her ears. However, Xinping refused to let her, and excitedly climbed up to the window, almost sticking most of her body out, just to watch the excitement outside.
Zhu Feng held up her clothes from behind with one hand.
She also smiled and said: "Well done, you are worthy of being my daughter."
Nan Yan was speechless.
They laughed and joked all the way, and soon their carriage drove into Xingqingfang. The place was clean and there was not even a snowflake on the road. Gray curtains were used to block the walls on both sides to prevent strangers from peeping into the emperor's face.
From a distance, one could see the bright lights at the entrance of the Gu Mansion, with a group of people standing in a neat row.
They didn't know how long they had been waiting.
At this time, everyone was looking forward to it and saw a group of cars coming from afar. Suddenly, everyone held their breath and waited. On a street, the sound of wheels slowly came, and not even a cough was heard.
Finally, the golden carriage arrived at the gate of Gu Mansion.
Eunuch Yu and his companions were originally following behind, but at this time they ran forward with a group of young eunuchs.
Line up at the door.
As soon as they stopped, a chorus of voices came from outside. The people waiting knelt on the ground and shouted to the golden carriage, "Welcome to the Imperial Concubine! Long live the Imperial Concubine!"
“…”
