The woman made sure it wasn't a royal child, so she snorted, "who is this brat? How dare he make trouble here? Where are the maids? Drive him out! The empress is about to come back. If he disturbs her, what punishment will he get?"
The woman who was talking to her immediately pulled her sleeve and said, "those who are able to enter the Imperial Palace should be the children of the family of the ministers, and their status should not be low. You don't want..."
"I'm his Majesty's concubine. I was offended by an official's child. Can't I teach him a lesson?" she interrupted. Then she pointed at the kid and ordered, "guards, take the kid away. Don't let him stand in our way."
"What did you say, Beauty Yuan?" An indifferent voice came through, but it sounded very powerful.
The crowd hurried to get out of the way, and saw the empress standing at the door of the Wei Yang Palace. The empress had a glance at Beauty Yuan indifferently, with her brows slightly wrinkled. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Beauty Yuan was also a concubine in the imperial household, but she was a weak woman. As soon as she saw the empress, she felt her legs weak and fell to her knees. "The child was rampaging in the Wei Yang Palace. I was almost knocked down by him. Afraid that he would offend the empress, I asked the maids to take him out and find a place to settle down."
"Huh." The empress smiled coldly. She glanced at Beauty Yuan, and looked at the child standing in front of her. It was then that her face softened a little. She waved at the child and said, "come here to grandma, Yunxi."
The little boy looked up at the empress and walked silently towards the empress. He looked up at the empress, with tears in his eyes. He stood there for a moment, biting his lips and whispering, "grandma."
Hearing this, Beauty Yuan crooked her half kneeling body to one side. The thick make-up could not cover her pale face.
"Why did Yunxi get out of bed? Did the babysitter follow you? " The empress
wly and quietly having the chestnut cake, but he didn't eat up a single piece.
"Lady Shu is here." suddenly a maid's voice came from outside.
Yun Shang lifted her eyes to the door, and saw a woman in apricot clothes coming in, with bun and a gold hairpin inlaid with jade. Last time when Yun Shang saw lady Shu, it was at night. She was only dressed in her underwear with her hair hanging down. Now when she saw her dress up, she was a little amazed. Yun Shang sneered in her mind. No wonder that Xia Huanyu had interest in her.
Lady Shu looked at them tenderly and smiled to them. She walked aside and sat down, but her eyes fell on the little boy by Yun Shang's side. She paused for a while and asked with a smile, "is the little prince feeling better?"
It seemed that someone was calling him. Hearing the woman's calling, Xia Yunxi was surprised. He lifted her eyes to look at Lady Shu, and then turned to Yun Shang. After a short silence, he lowered his head again and continued to eat the chestnut cakes in silence.
Noticing that the anger in Lady Shu's eyes was soon suppressed, Yun Shang said, "the boy is too young to know that. Lady Shu, please forgive him."
Hearing this, lady Shu lifted her eyes and looked at Yun Shang. She curved her lips into a mysterious smile, "is it chestnut cake that the little prince is eating?"
