Wei Wangqing had already followed the eunuch into the main hall. Upon seeing the scene inside, Wei Wangqing could only think of two words: extravagant! Magnificent and imposing!
In her previous life, she was just an ordinary citizen and had never seen such a sight before, especially since she was about to meet the leader of the country!
However, no matter what, this person is only the original owner's mother. It's just that you need to remember that she is first and foremost the queen of the country, and only secondly a mother.
The eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the person has been brought."
"Hmm, step down," the person in the seat of honor said without even raising his eyes.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty." Though he had a thousand thoughts in his heart, Wei Wangqing raised his sleeve and bowed.
"Hmm." The person in the seat of honor finally shifted his gaze from the memorial, seemingly glancing downwards. "Little Six is back. How have you been all these years?" he asked casually.
"Your Majesty, I am doing well while I am away. I am grateful for your concern."
"Hmm, you look quite well. Your residence was already built before you returned, and all the staff have been arranged. You can move in directly."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. Then I will take my leave."
"Go on, and don't forget to pay your respects to your father."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave."
Wei Wangqing, who had just left the hall, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The emperor's aura was indeed formidable; it was unbearable for ordinary people like us!
He turned and followed a palace attendant toward the Phoenix Palace.
But a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the hall, kneeling on one knee: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess's life has been thoroughly investigated. There is nothing out of the ordinary. She has always lived in the separate courtyard, where she is only taught by her wet nurse. Her daily life consists of reading, practicing calligraphy, and copying Buddhist scriptures, just like a nun, pure and ascetic. Except... except on the day she turned twenty, she seemed to be in a bad mood and drank herself into a stupor that night. But the next day she was no longer herself. After that, Your Majesty sent someone to bring her back."
"Alright, I understand. You may leave." The Empress rubbed her head, seemingly a little tired.
"Yes. I'll take my leave." He vanished in a flash.
On the other side, Wei Wangqing could hear the cheerful laughter inside the hall even before he was outside.
Inside the room, the Empress sat high on her throne, with a noblewoman sitting below her. Judging from her attire, she was undoubtedly the Crown Princess. On the other side sat the Fifth Prince, whom they had met not long ago, chatting and laughing. His cheerful demeanor was a complete contrast to his arrogant and domineering manner just moments before.
At this moment, a palace attendant stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess requests an audience."
The Empress raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Little Six has arrived so quickly? I didn't expect this child to be so filial."
"Hmph!" the Fifth Prince scoffed.
The Empress scolded, "Fifth Prince, what are you doing? That's your sixth sister."
"I only have one older sister, the eldest princess, and I don't have any younger sisters," the fifth prince said, dissatisfied. But he didn't say anything more.
"Alright, stop fooling around, you'll make a fool of yourself." He turned to the eunuch and said, "Summon them."
"yes."
Wei Wangqing stepped into the hall, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Father Empress and Eldest Princess." In his heart, however, he felt somewhat helpless. There were too many elders, and he had to bow and greet everyone he met.
"Little Six, right? Get up. Sit down."
"Thank you, Father."
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You were just a little baby back then, and now you're all grown up. It's just a pity...sigh!" He shook his head after saying that.
“He was just a man who brought misfortune to his mother and father, what’s there to regret?” the Fifth Prince interjected.
"Shut up, Fifth Prince!" the Queen scolded angrily, then turned to Wei Wangqing and said, "Sixth Prince, please forgive me, I've spoiled Fifth Prince rotten!"
"It's alright, Father. Fifth Brother was just speaking without thinking. It's just that it's not good for others to hear him say that, especially since he mentioned Mother. It wouldn't be good if others thought he was deliberately cursing Mother." Ha, if you don't teach him how to behave, someone else will. Wei Wuqing said expressionlessly.
“You…” The Fifth Prince pointed his index finger at Wei Wangqing, his hand trembling with anger.
The Crown Princess finally stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, Yan'er, what Sixth Sister said makes sense. It's best to be careful with your words and actions in the future."
The Fifth Prince glared at Wei Wangqing and said, "Hmph! I, Wei Wuyan, am sworn enemies with you." After saying that, he ran out.
"Send someone to follow Xiao Wu," the Queen instructed, turning her head.
"This child is such a worry, please forgive him, Xiao Liu."
"It's alright, Father. Every child is like that." Hehe!
The Queen did not respond. "Go back to your residence and rest for two days. Three days later, the palace will hold a welcome banquet for you."
"What's going on? I'm just an unfavored princess, why do I feel like my mother and father are being too concerned about me? What do they want from me?" Wei Wangqing pondered.
"Don't worry, your father will make all the preparations for you. Just be there on time," the Queen said firmly.
"Yes, then thank you very much, Father."
"Well, my son, then you and your sixth sister go out together and see her off on behalf of your father."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave." The two bowed and withdrew at the same time.
