"The women of Prime Minister Mu's family enter the palace through the left door..." The old palace servant stepped aside, and a young and strong palace servant stepped forward and shouted loudly.
According to the rank of their husband's family, the female relatives began to walk towards the palace.
Qiu Yinong first put Chu Hongyun down in Taihua Palace, and then went directly to the gate of the Empress Dowager's palace. The Queen and others were all here now.
The palace banquet was held in Taihua Palace, and the female members of the family were arranged to rest in the side hall of Taihua Palace.
"Oh, who is this!" Concubine Shu was talking to the Queen. No one knew what they were talking about, but she was smiling happily while covering her face with a handkerchief.
She happened to be looking outside, and when she saw the curtains being drawn and a familiar figure walking in, she was suddenly stunned.
The smile froze on her face instantly. She couldn't believe what she saw. The girl didn't look like this two months ago.
The others also looked towards the door. The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You, are you Yi'er?"
"Your humble servant, Qiu Yinong, pays respects to the Imperial Grandmother."
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Shu."
"You, you are really Yi'er. Also, how did you know that I was promoted to a noble concubine?" Noble Concubine Shu stood up happily and walked to Qiu Yinong.
She hugged Qiu Yinong all of a sudden. How come this girl has grown so tall in just two months? She is even a head taller than the queen.
Qiu Yinong smiled and replied, "My Lady, the hermit has his own clever plan. I know everything."
"You've spoken to me in front of my statue many times." When Qiu Yinong said this, Concubine Shu trembled all over.
"We are talking to the statue, and you can hear it."
"Yeah, that's my statue." Qiu Yinong teased her deliberately.
Concubine Shu blushed for a rare moment, and a little girl ran over. She was very cute and looked 70% like Concubine Shu.
She tilted her head to look at Qiu Yinong, then clapped her hands happily and said, "Beautiful sister, are you the Changping sister that mother often talks about?"
"Yes, Fifth Princess, our Fifth Princess is so cute." The Fifth Princess is seven years old this year. She is fair and tender, with a pair of big twinkling eyes. She is so beautiful.
Chu Jinyuan suddenly reached out to Qiu Yinong, and Qiu Yinong bent down and held her in his arms.
"Put her down quickly. She is seven years old and very heavy." Concubine Shu was afraid of tiring Qiu Yinong, so she spoke quickly.
Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "I'm not tired."
"Come here quickly and let grandma take a good look at you." The Queen Mother also waved to Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong walked towards the Queen Mother with a smile. The Fifth Princess got out of Qiu Yinong's arms and ran to the Queen's arms and snuggled up to her.
The Queen Mother took Qiu Yinong's hand and looked at her carefully: "It's only been two months since we last met, and our Yi'er has grown so tall and matured."
"If it weren't for this dress, even if grandma saw it, she probably wouldn't believe that this is your precious Jiaojiao." The Queen Mother looked at Qiu Yinong lovingly and said.
If the Queen Mother liked Qiu Yinong at the beginning because she saved her and was the adopted daughter of her beloved daughter, now she truly likes her granddaughter Yier.
Although they had not been together for a long time, the Queen Mother liked her and felt that Qiu Yinong was like her own granddaughter whom she had loved and spoiled since she was a child.
"Because of the improvement in my cultivation, my body has grown taller." Qiu Yinong replied with a smile.
There was distress in the Queen Mother's eyes. Although she seemed to say it easily, she must have suffered a lot to achieve this.
Qiu Yinong didn't want to cause any more unhappiness, so she quickly introduced them: "Grandmother, this is Ge Qingqing, Yi'er's good friend and Yi'er's future fifth sister-in-law."
Ge Qingqing hurried forward and greeted everyone: "Your humble servant Ge Qingqing pays homage to the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine Shu. I wish you all the best."
"Okay, we are all family, no need to be so polite." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly.
"Find a place to sit down. If you feel uncomfortable later, I'll accompany you to sit over at Taihua Palace."
Qiu Yinong was afraid that Ge Qingqing would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly stepped forward and spoke.
Ge Qingqing smiled and said yes. The Queen and her entourage watched with a smile, knowing that the little girl would feel uncomfortable.
After Qiu Yinong accompanied her for a while, she took Ge Qingqing to Taihua Palace.
They still took a carriage to the gate of Taihua Palace. When they got out of the carriage, they saw many officials chatting outside Taihua Palace.
Seeing a carriage approaching the Taihua Palace, they all stopped to look.
When Qiu Yinong came out of the carriage, the officials were stunned on the spot. They dared not breathe, for fear of disturbing this fairy-like person.
Soon, an official who had seen Qiu Yinong came to his senses and bowed hurriedly, shouting, "Your Highness greets the Princess Changping."
Only then did the other officials realize that the fairy-like woman in front of them was the legendary mysterious princess.
"Your humble servant pays homage to Princess Changping. May the Princess be well and healthy."
"No need to be so polite, my lords." After saying that, Qiu Yinong took Ge Qingqing to the side hall of Taihua Palace.
As soon as the two of them entered, they immediately attracted the attention of the female relatives.
Huayang and Ning An were also resting here. Hearing the sound, they both walked out of the rest room at the same time.
"Yier!" The two recognized Qiu Yinong at a glance after seeing the drastic change in her appearance. The two princesses ignored their dignity and ran towards Qiu Yinong while holding up their skirts.
Qiu Yinong looked at the two princesses and said with a smile, "Cousin Ning'an, Sister Huayang, it's been a long time since we last met. You two are still as charming as ever."
"You're so talkative." Huayang glared at her, then looked at the women who were watching over here.
She walked forward and pulled Qiu Yinong into the house: "Come on, let's go inside and warm up first."
"Okay." Qiu Yinong was not in a hurry to introduce Ge Qingqing to Huayang. Ning An had met Ge Qingqing before.
After entering the house, the women dared to ask in a low voice who that person was.
"Ms. Lin, you are from the capital. Have you seen the girl just now?" a young lady asked a young girl who was sitting there.
The young girl shook her head: "I have never seen him, but he is so good friends with Princess Huayang and Princess Ning'an. Princess Huayang even called him Yi'er just now. There is only one person who can be like him."
"Who is it?" The daughters were very curious.
Miss Lin took a sip of tea and then said, "Who else could it be? Of course it's the famous princess of a foreign surname from our Great Chu."
"Ah? Miss Lin, are you saying that the fairy-like woman just now is the Princess of Changping?"
"That should be it. Princess Changping's maiden name contains the word 'Yi'." Miss Lin said affirmatively.
Those young ladies were secretly annoyed as to why they didn't go to pay their respects to the princess just now.
"Okay, don't worry about it. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet later. We can just greet each other then!" Miss Lin waved her hand. After all, she didn't go to greet him.
The female relatives agreed and decided to pay their respects to the princesses later.
