Chapter 976 Others must be the same
Nangong Xuanyu still loved the princess very much in his heart, and said in a gentle voice: "Didn't I tell you to come and have lunch with me? Why are you in such a hurry to go back when we haven't eaten yet?"
The eldest princess smiled sweetly: "Then Yun'er will accompany father. Father should eat more."
"Father is so tired from handling government affairs every day, so he needs to eat more to have strength."
Looking at the eldest princess's lovely face and listening to her caring words, Nangong Xuanyu felt warm in his heart: "Yeah."
"Yun'er should also eat more so that she can grow taller."
Soon, the girls came in in an orderly manner and placed the exquisite dishes on the eight-immortal table.
With her father by her side, the eldest princess was very happy no matter what she ate.
She hasn't been in such a good mood for a long time!
After lunch, the eldest princess was sent back to Changchun Palace by the imperial court.
She went to the small Buddhist temple to see Concubine Zhuang first.
Concubine Zhuang was still worshiping Buddha devoutly.
Seeing the eldest princess, Concubine Zhuang stopped beating the wooden fish and asked with a smile, "Yun'er is back."
"His Majesty summoned you to the Yangxin Palace. What delicious food did you eat?"
The eldest princess described all the dishes for today's lunch in detail.
Concubine Zhuang listened patiently and responded with a smile from time to time.
Finally, she asked calmly, "...did His Majesty tell Yun'er anything else?"
"Have."
The eldest princess nodded and said, "Father also asked Yun'er who gave Yun'er the good idea to go to the Yangxin Palace and ask him to compensate Xiyan."
"Yun'er told father that it was mother who said that. Father should be very happy and said that he would come to Changchun Palace to see mother tonight!"
"Mother, are you happy that you can see Father?"
Concubine Zhuang understood instantly.
Because Concubine Zhuang knew the eldest princess well enough, she knew that she was truly a simple-minded person.
Since she could easily get information out of the eldest princess, it must be the same for others.
If today, she specifically told the eldest princess not to tell him that she was the one who taught her to compensate Xiyan, the eldest princess might make excuses at first, but with His Majesty's shrewdness, he would soon learn the truth from her.
Then she really couldn't explain it clearly.
Rather than this, it would be better not to teach the princess anything.
As Concubine Zhuang had expected, His Majesty summoned the eldest princess to the Yangxin Palace because of this matter. However, for various reasons, he did not want to embarrass her, so he did not call her over for questioning immediately. Instead, he chose to come to Changchun Palace tonight.
No problem.
She had already made all the preparations.
Concubine Zhuang smiled gently at the eldest princess: "Of course I am happy to see your majesty."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "As long as mother is happy, Yun'er will be happy!"
It would be great if Sister Xiyan could be happy too!
As the eldest princess was talking, she yawned.
She took a nap every day, and now it was time, so Concubine Zhuang asked the nanny to take her downstairs to rest.
The eldest princess said sensibly, "Yun'er, Yun'er will go first. You should also take care of your health and don't get too tired when worshiping Buddha."
Concubine Zhuang smiled slightly and said gently, "Mother knows."
Oh! Liu Shiqing, Liu Shiqing, actually gave birth to such a caring daughter.
At this time, Xiao Caizi walked in from outside, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing his hesitation, Concubine Zhuang said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to be hesitant."
"Yes."
Little Caizi then said, "My lady, I just heard the latest news. The maid named Xiyan in Zhongcui Palace died after being caned..."
Concubine Zhuang paused for a moment as she struck the wooden fish.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
Ah!
Xiyan didn't die earlier or later, but died at this time. Who would believe it if it was an accident?
Could it be that Concubine Chen was afraid that if His Majesty investigated further, he would discover what she and Xiyan had done, so she killed her to silence her?
Tsk... Ever since Concubine Chen took over the six palaces, all the palace maids and eunuchs have said that she is kind. Who would have thought that her kindness was all fake, and that she is actually so cruel!
The eldest princess cares so much about Xiyan. What would happen if she knew that Xiyan had been executed by Concubine Chen?
Thinking of this, the smile on Concubine Zhuang's lips became more meaningful.
At this moment, she finally realized why His Majesty looked in a good mood when he left Zhongcui Palace this morning.
It is because Xiyan is dead, and there is no evidence to prove that the imperial concubine had ever instructed her to plot against Liu Shiqing.
Given Your Majesty's favor and trust for Concubine Chen, you will naturally not investigate this matter further.
She had calculated many things, but she had not expected Concubine Chen's cruelty!
However, after this incident, she had a better understanding of Concubine Chen.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian had promised Concubine Xuan that she would be the first person to visit Chengqian Palace.
Yesterday, Chengqian Palace was holding a consecration ceremony and no one was free, so Shen Zhinian did not go over to disturb them.
This morning, after Nangong Xuanyu left, she instructed Handan and Fuqiu to take the gifts to Chengqian Palace.
Chengqian Palace was just in front of Zhongcui Palace, and it was only a few steps away. Therefore, Shen Zhinian did not take the sedan chair, but chose to walk there.
Little did she know that someone had already arrived at Chengqian Palace before her...
Early in the morning, Concubine Xuan started to get busy, personally directing the palace maids to decorate the palace and prepare tea and snacks.
"Sister Noble Concubine Chen promised me that she would be the first guest of Chengqian Palace. She will definitely come this morning. You should get ready quickly and don't neglect Sister Noble Concubine Chen!"
The eunuchs and maids said in unison: "Yes!"
Zhu'er watched from the side and shook her head helplessly.
I'm afraid that even if His Majesty came, Her Majesty would not be so excited.
It seems that the medicines that Doctor Tang prescribed before were all wasted by the Empress...
In Her Majesty's heart, She still considers Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen to be more important than His Majesty.
At this time, a palace maid came in from outside and announced, "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Changzai from Zhuxuan wanted to see you. She said she came to congratulate you on your move to the palace and your promotion."
Xuanbin's brows suddenly frowned.
How come Zhang Changzai came so early? Sister Guifei Chen should be the first guest in Chengqian Palace, how come Zhang Changzai got there before her?
However, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
The other party came to congratulate with gifts, so Xuanpin naturally couldn't turn him away.
Although she didn't have to care about the opinion of a concubine in her current position, Xuanpin had just been promoted, and she didn't want to be known as someone who looked down on others for the sake of the Sixth Prince.
Xuanpin had no choice but to suppress her unhappiness and said, "Please ask her to come in."
"Yes."
Soon, Zhang Changzai entered the main hall with the gift and knelt on the ground to salute respectfully: "I pay my respects to Concubine Xuan, and wish you good luck and peace!"
"Congratulations to Her Majesty on being promoted to the position of the head of the first palace and moving to Chengqian Palace!"
"This is a small gift that I specially prepared. I hope Madam Xuan will not despise it."
