The queen smiled, a smile from the bottom of her heart.

She likes smart people, and doesn't play dumb when it's time to be honest.

"Fuqing will need your care from now on."

"It's my duty to take care of my sister."

Yu Jin and the Queen smiled at each other and said no more.

Reaching a consensus on the goal is the first step, and what happens next cannot be explained in a few words.

About half an hour later, Jiang Si and Princess Fuqing returned.

"Where is Princess Fourteen?" The Queen asked when she couldn't find Princess Fourteen.

Princess Fuqing replied, "My fourteenth sister said she had some needlework to do, so she went back."

The Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, and the two princesses prepared embroidery gifts for her.

The queen smiled and shook her head: "This child even said that we would have lunch together at noon."

In his heart, however, he was quite satisfied with the Fourteenth Princess's interest.

Although the Queen was magnanimous and did not hold a grudge against the Fourteenth Princess because of Concubine Chen's evil deeds, she still hoped at certain times that there would be no disturbance from outsiders.

For example, this lunch with the Prince of Yan and his wife.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the queen ordered the eunuchs, "Go and invite the emperor over."

The eunuch agreed and hurried to Yu's study.

In the study, Emperor Jingming stroked the white jade paper on the table, and occasionally glanced at the hourglass in the corner.

It’s getting late, why is there still no movement in Kunning Palace?

Hiss - could it be that the Queen had forgotten that he also wanted to go over for dinner?

No way, how could he forget such an important person?

Reason persuaded Emperor Jingming not to panic, but his empty stomach reminded him: it was really getting late!

But it would be too embarrassing to just walk away like that, as if he really wanted to join in the fun.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Jingming coughed and said, "Pan Hai, have you seen Jixiang?"

Pan Hai was immediately stumped by the question.

He is the Eunuch in Charge of Writing and the Governor of Dongchang, the Emperor's most trusted confidant. How free does he have to stare at a fat cat all day?

"Now, shouldn't Jixiang eat the dried fish?" Emperor Jingming asked with a stern face.

Pan Hai reacted immediately: The Emperor was not concerned about whether Jixiang would eat the dried fish, he was clearly concerned about the meal that the Empress mentioned yesterday.

"I will go and ask right away." Pan Hai hurried out. Just as he asked the eunuch to go to Kunning Palace to remind the empress, people from Kunning Palace came over.

Pan Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

This saves a lot of trouble.

"Come in with me."

Seeing Pan Hai returning, Emperor Jingming looked over.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone to invite you over for lunch."

Emperor Jingming glanced at the people in Kunning Palace, cleared his throat and asked Pan Hai: "Have you found Jixiang?"

Pan Haigan laughed and said, "Jixiang is eating dried fish."

"Uh." Emperor Jingming nodded, and then he asked the eunuch of Kunning Palace with a reserved look, "Have Prince Yan and his men arrived?"

The eunuch of Kunning Palace hurriedly said, "Reporting to the emperor, the prince and princess have been here for a while."

Emperor Jingming was stunned, and the dignity on his face was a little bit lost.

Already arrived?

"Who is here?" Emperor Jingming asked again.

The eunuch replied honestly: "In addition to the prince and princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also here."

Emperor Jingming was silent.

He is being excluded——

Seeing that Emperor Jingming was silent, the eunuch hurriedly said, "The Queen said that if the Emperor is busy, then -"

Pan Hai pulled the eunuch hard.

Does this idiot know how to speak? If the emperor is in a bad mood, the ones who will be in trouble will be the people serving him.

Emperor Jingming stood up and said calmly, "Since the Queen has invited you, let's go and take a look. I have nothing to do anyway."

Emperor Jingming walked very fast along the way. Pan Hai, who was chasing behind him, rolled his eyes and thought that the emperor couldn't be a little more reserved. It was a pity for his old arms and legs.

As they approached Kunning Palace, Emperor Jingming suddenly slowed down his pace.

"The Emperor has arrived—"

Following the eunuch's shout, the empress and several others came out to greet her.

"Don't be so polite, just go in." Emperor Jingming walked in with his hands behind his back.

The Queen laughed and said, "I thought the Emperor was busy today."

"If the Empress hadn't sent someone to invite me, I would have really forgotten about this matter." Emperor Jingming said lightly.

After they sat down, palace maids soon came in and brought up cups, plates and dishes.

There are not many dishes, but they are all exquisite.

Emperor Jingming took a few bites and said with a smile, "The food here is quite good, you are in for a treat."

Yu Jin and Jiang Si hurriedly agreed.

Emperor Jingming looked at his wife, then at his daughter, and finally at his son and daughter-in-law, and suddenly he felt a sense of fulfillment.

No, if Jixiang is also here, then everything will be perfect.

"Ah Huan is grown up now. When the weather warms up, you can go to the palace again and bring the child to me. It's not right for a grandfather to not recognize his granddaughter."

Pan Hai on the side silently curled the corner of his mouth.

The emperor said this with a guilty conscience. There are so many princesses in the harem and he hasn't recognized them all yet. What's the problem with not recognizing his granddaughter?

However, this shows how much the emperor values ​​Prince Yan and his wife.

After all, things were different for Prince Yan as he became the Queen's son.

In the future, the King of Yan would not... This thought suddenly popped up in Pan Hai's mind. He was startled and did not dare to think about it any further.

Jiang Si smiled and continued, "Next time I go to the palace to pay my respects to my father and mother, I will bring Ah Huan with me."

The rest of the meal was a harmonious one, which was rare for the Yu Tian family.

Emperor Jingming was inexplicably reluctant to give up this relaxing feeling and intentionally slowed down his eating pace.

At this time, a palace maid walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, Queen, someone is coming from Ci Ning Palace."

Emperor Jingming and the Empress looked at each other, put down their silver chopsticks and said, "Pass it in."

Soon, a eunuch came in with a panicked look. He knelt down when he saw Emperor Jingming and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has fainted—"

Emperor Jingming stood up suddenly, his face turning pale instantly.

The Empress hurriedly supported Emperor Jingming and asked in a sharp voice, "What happened? Why did the Empress Dowager faint?"

The eunuch trembled and said, "Slave, I didn't have time to ask for details before I was sent to report to the Emperor and the Empress."

Emperor Jingming propped his hands on the table, and said to the empress in a slow tone, "Go and see mother first."

After taking two steps, Emperor Jingming suddenly turned around and glanced at Yu Jin and Jiang Si: "You two should go together."

Yu Jin followed behind the Emperor and Empress, quietly squeezed Jiang Ru's hand, and then let go.

Jiang Si nodded slightly.

The two of them calmed down and quickly followed the emperor and empress to Cining Palace.

Cining Palace was in chaos because of the Queen Mother's fainting.

"I have seen the Emperor——"

Emperor Jingming was too lazy to listen to these nonsense and asked directly: "Has the imperial physician arrived?"

"The imperial physician is treating the empress dowager."

Emperor Jingming walked past the person who was answering the call and entered the inner room, where he saw the imperial physician inserting silver needles into the empress dowager's acupuncture points.

Although he was extremely anxious, seeing this situation, Emperor Jingming did not dare to disturb them and quietly retreated.

"Why did the Queen Mother faint?"

Everyone was kneeling in front of Emperor Jingming, and they were all terrified after hearing these words.

"Are they all deaf?"

A maid beside the Queen Mother raised her head, her face pale as gold paper, and trembled as she said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother fainted when she suddenly saw Aunt Ping's body—"
