After the meal, Lanqin noticed that it was getting late. Geng Shi and Hongzhou hadn't rested since entering the palace, and they were probably quite tired now.
Although there are many side halls in Changchun Palace, it is not appropriate to leave Geng and the others to rest there. It would be arouse criticism from those with ulterior motives. After thinking for a moment, Lanqin said to Geng, "Why don't you stay in Xianfu Palace, where you used to live, sister? It's still empty there, just like when you lived there."
Although Lady Geng had left the palace with Hongzhou to live in the Prince He's residence long ago, people were still arranged to clean Xianfu Palace. The servants naturally dared not touch the furnishings in Xianfu Palace, so it was appropriate for them to rest there now.
Lady Geng nodded. "Very well then. I will go to Xianfu Palace to rest for a while."
"I'm just worried that you might not be used to living in the palace for a long time. If you need anything, please send a maid to let me know."
Madam Geng smiled and nodded slightly, bowed to the Fourth Prince and Lanqin, and then led Hongzhou's family out of Changchun Palace to Xianfu Palace.
Led by the eunuch, Geng and Hongzhou arrived at Xianfu Palace. Although Xianfu Palace was often cleaned, it had been uninhabited for a long time, and it looked rather desolate against the backdrop of the winter snow.
Looking at Xianfu Palace, Geng couldn't help but feel that things had changed. Time had passed, but everything was different. She used to live in Xianfu Palace for her family, for power, and for herself, but now she had returned to Xianfu Palace for Hongzhou.
Thinking of this, Geng felt a little tired and turned to Hongzhou and Wukuzha behind her, saying, "You two can rest in the side hall of Xianfu Palace."
"Yes, Mother, I will take my leave now." After bidding farewell to Lady Geng, Hongzhou and Wukuzha went to rest in the side hall where he used to live in Xianfu Palace.
After Hongzhou and the others left, Gengshi slowly said to Qiuyun beside her, "You can serve me so I can rest."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun helped Geng Shi to the dressing mirror to style her hair. As she carefully removed the hair ornaments from Geng Shi's hair, she cheerfully said, "So this is what the palace is like. That Prince Bao is the Crown Prince. He's quite friendly with our Prince."
Upon hearing Qiu Yun's words, Madam Geng did not smile, but said indifferently, "No matter how good they are, they can only be ruler and subject in the future."
Upon hearing Geng's words, Qiu Yun slightly twitched the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of calculation. However, Geng, with her eyes lowered, did not see it. Qiu Yun naturally guessed Geng's worries, so she deliberately said, "Judging from today, it seems that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager also like the Prince very much."
“Of course they like Hongzhou; Hongzhou is their son.” Perhaps Geng was truly exhausted, for at this moment she no longer concealed her true feelings and spoke her mind.
Qiu Yun's pupils contracted slightly.
really.
So Qiu Yun continued to ask, "Isn't the Prince the son of the Empress and the Emperor?"
Upon hearing Qiu Yun's words, Madam Geng realized that she had misspoke. Madam Geng sighed, not wanting to continue, and said to Qiu Yun, "I'm tired."
Seeing that Madam Geng had no intention of going any further, Qiu Yun knew that she could not get any more information out of Madam Geng today, so she quickly helped Madam Geng take off her clothes and take off her hair.
