When Nanny Xiang heard Xinyue's crying, she rushed in and saw Xingwan and Fengmian lying on the bed fiddling with the plush toys that the late empress had just sent over, while Xinyue was pointing at the plush toys in their hands and crying.
"Oh, what's wrong with your Highness? Why are you crying so hard?"
Xing Wan and Feng Mian turned to look at Nanny Xiang and explained, "Nanny Xiang, we didn't bully the imperial sister."
"I know that the two Your Highnesses have not bullied the little prince. I will pick him up and comfort him!"
As she spoke to Nanny Xiang, she picked up Xianyue. The moment she picked her up, she saw her little plush rabbit under her.
Nanny Xiang picked up the little rabbit and asked tentatively, "Is this what your Highness is looking for?"
Xianyue, who was crying loudly, stopped crying instantly when she saw the little rabbit in Nanny Xiang's hand.
She first glanced at the little rabbit in Nanny Xiang's hand, and then looked down at the ones in Xing Wan and Feng Mian's hands.
The moment three little rabbits of different colors appeared in front of the crescent moon, the little guy was stunned.
She stared at the little rabbits in Xingwan and Fengmian's hands for a while, then raised her hands to rub her eyes. After making sure that she was not mistaken, she quickly turned around and hugged Nanny Xiang's neck and buried her little face in her shoulder.
At this time, Nanny Xiang had no idea that the little prince had just mistakenly thought that his rabbit was taken away by the two princes, and was crying and asking them for it back!
Now that he knew that his rabbit was pressed under him just now, he was too embarrassed to face anyone!
Xing Wan and Feng Mian looked at each other and didn't laugh out loud out of courtesy.
After all, he was just a one-year-old child, so Xianyue quickly put aside the embarrassment and mingled with his imperial sister and brother with his rabbit.
After a while, Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou walked in from outside the hall.
"You three, stop playing for now. Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
After hearing Jiang Jingyu's voice, the three little guys ran towards her with their short legs.
"Mother Queen, Father Queen, where are we going?"
The three children ran to Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou, grabbed their robes and looked at them curiously.
Jiang Jingyu bent down and pinched the three children's cheeks, deliberately keeping them in suspense: "You'll know when we get there."
As she spoke, she lifted up the little crescent moon in front of her, and Mingyou also let Xingwan and Fengmian ride on his shoulders, one in each hand.
Jiang Jingyu looked at Nanny Xiang who was standing opposite her and said, "Nanny, we're leaving first."
He smiled and waved to Madam Xiang: "Go ahead. I will wait here for His Majesty, the Queen, and the young princes to return."
Under Nanny Xiang's gaze, Jiang Jingyu's family of five turned and walked out of the hall, and the voices of the three little ones gradually faded away.
The family got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago and staggered out of the palace.
On the other side, Jialan Palace.
"Master, you have been embroidering for a long time. Please stop and rest."
The nanny brought the freshly brewed tea to the late empress who was sitting in front of the stone table embroidering something.
"I'm not tired. I'll finish embroidering it in no time."
With a helpless look on her face, the nanny poured a cup of hot tea for the late empress and walked behind her to massage her shoulders and neck.
"The master has embroidered too many things in the past two years. How can the eyes bear it if it continues like this?"
The former empress said without even looking up, "I'm just embroidering something out of boredom. It's nothing serious."
Upon hearing this, Nanny sighed, "Master, two years have already passed, and the palace hasn't said a word. I know you're worried about His Majesty and the children, but you should also take care of yourself. Only if you're healthy will you have more opportunities to see His Majesty and the little princes in the future, right?"
The former empress paused and smiled self-deprecatingly. Just as she was about to speak, two clear children's voices came from the door.
"Excuse me, does the Empress Dowager live here?"
Xing Wan and Feng Mian leaned against the door and looked towards the yard.
After hearing the voices of the brother and sister, the empress and the nanny subconsciously turned their heads to look outside the door.
After seeing the two faces that looked 50% similar to Jiang Jingyu, the empress stood there with her eyes wide open, her mind blank.
The nanny also looked at the two little guys outside the door in shock: "Master, this, this is... His Majesty's child?"
The nanny tried to speak, but received no response from the late empress.
The former empress stared at the two children outside the door without blinking. Her eyes suddenly turned red and her whole heart fell on the two children. She could not hear any sound.
While she was looking at the two children, Xing Wan and Feng Mian were also looking at her with their big, twinkling eyes.
Jiang Jingyu is three-quarters like the former empress, and the other seven-quarters like the deceased emperor and empress.
It is precisely because Jiang Jingyu's face looks too similar to the late emperor and empress that the late empress, who was unaware of the truth over the years, hated her so much.
But just because of the three-point resemblance, Xing Wan and Feng Mian immediately determined that the person in front of them was the Empress Dowager they were looking for.
"Grandmother, can we come in?"
The soft voice sounded again, and the brother and sister looked at the former empress eagerly.
"Come in, come in, come in quickly."
After the former empress came to her senses, she quickly wiped away her tears, put down the needle and thread in her hand, and extended her hand to the brother and sister.
"So we're coming in?"
As the two little guys spoke, they stepped onto the door frame with their short legs and ran towards the former empress.
Seeing the two children running towards her, the Empress Xian quickly stood up from the stone table and walked towards them: "Slow down, run slower."
"Royal Grandmother!"
Xing Wan and Feng Mian have never been shy since they were young, not to mention that the person in front of them is the Empress Dowager who looks a bit like the Empress Mother. The two little guys, bribed by the clothes, shoes and dolls made by the late Empress, threw themselves directly into the arms of the late Empress.
"Royal Grandmother~"
The two little guys called out affectionately again. The empress was stunned when she saw the brother and sister who were so close to her in her arms. Then she raised her hands in surprise and joy and hugged them.
"Hey! So good!"
The former empress looked at the brother and sister in her arms with a smile on her face, her heart softened.
Xing Wan and Feng Mian were wearing clothes made by the late empress, with little buns tied on their heads. They looked like adorable pink balls, making the late empress instantly forget her previous loss.
"What are your two names?"
The late empress looked at the two of them with a smile, and there was an unprecedented kindness on her face.
"Grandmother, I'm Xingwan, you can call me Xing'er!"
"Grandmother, I'm Feng Mian. You can call me Mian'er!"
The brother and sister gave their names with a smile, and they liked the kind-looking imperial grandmother in front of them very much.
The brother and sister chattered and made the late empress laugh so hard that for a moment the entire Jialan Palace was filled with the laughter of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
The nanny and the palace maids had not seen the late empress laugh so happily for a long time, and they also smiled.
"Xing'er, Mian'er, how did you get here?"
The former empress, who was filled with joy, suddenly remembered this. Xing Wan and Feng Mian were about to speak when a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Queen Mother."
