Although the Fengtian Hall was brightly lit and the civil and military officials had been presenting their reports for quite some time, the Chunhe Hall was also bustling with activity, but it was still not dawn.
As dawn broke, two teams of eunuchs immediately left the palace, one heading to Princess Ningguo's residence and the other to Princess Anqing's residence.
The two eldest princesses didn't need to wear formal court attire; ordinary everyday clothes would suffice. They were simply there to accompany the Empress for a chat. No one found it strange; over the years, this kind of treatment was quite common for the two princesses.
Many people know that among the imperial relatives most favored by the current empress, besides the two legitimate daughters of the Hongwu Emperor, are the two younger sisters of the current emperor. In fact, Princess Sang of Wu's status is largely due to her husband's influence, making her appear more distinguished than other princesses.
Many people say that Emperor Hongwu never hid his favoritism, and the current emperor is the same. His favoritism is so obvious that there is no need for any surprises or speculation.
Upon seeing the two imperial aunts, Xu Miaoqing said, "It is His Majesty's will that we trouble you two to come to the palace today."
Princess Ningguo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Your Majesty?"
Princess Anqing found it even stranger and quickly asked, "Your Majesty? Is there something Ying'er needs our help with this time?"
Princess Ningguo patted her younger sister, who had married out of the country years ago and hadn't had much time to care for her nephew. It was only because her sister had served the emperor for a few years that the princess enjoyed such preferential treatment.
Xu Miaoqing sighed and said, "Grandfather has been somewhat delirious these days. His Majesty's idea is that we, his descendants, should spend more time with him and talk to him."
Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing's expressions changed drastically. This was a major event, a cataclysmic event!
Perhaps Ying'er is just overthinking things?
