Everyone knew that ever since Zhen Fei had given birth to the First Princess, she had never again received the favor of the Emperor. Her status in the palace could be seen from Xia Yaner's words.

Zhen Fei had always been afraid of matters of the heart. Even when Xia Yaner had scolded her in such a manner, she merely smiled and retreated to the back. However, there was a look of dejection on her face!

Since Xia Yan'er had turned a blind eye to him, Xu Bixuan had returned the favor, treating her as thin air. However, in her heart, she felt some pity for Zhen Fei, and when she thought about it again, wasn't her situation the same as well?

"Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived …" After Little An had relayed the news, everyone's eyes were focused at the entrance of the palace, watching as they rubbed their hands and prepared to find a way to please the empress dowager. Xu Bixuan only smiled in response.

When she thought about how the empress dowager rarely came to Jingde Palace ever since she started her buddhist cultivation and how she had cancelled her daily morning province due to fear of causing trouble, Xu Bixuan had not seen her for a long time. Hearing the news from Little An, she became excited and hurried out to welcome Senior Servant Gui!

Naturally, in terms of emotions, the empress should be at the forefront. However, Xia Yaner, who thought herself to be favored by the emperor, actually rushed out of the Jingde Palace. In her eyes, the empress had long ago become the empress!

Senior Servant Gui was about to open her mouth, but she was stopped by Xu Bixuan.

"Let her be on the wedding day. Esteemed Empress Dowager, your body isn't feeling well, so don't disturb her old man!"

When the other concubines saw that Xu Bixuan did not even make a sound, they were even more clear about the rumors circulating within the palace. They did not know when it began, but the news of the emperor wanting to cripple the emperor and make him a new imperial concubine had already spread, and now it seemed that these rumors were not without basis! The other imperial concubines looked at each other in dismay. It looked like they would have to travel to the Mystical Jade Palace more often! Xia Yaner was not like Xu Bixuan. Offending her was the same as offending the Emperor!

All of the concubines walked out with various thoughts in their minds. At this moment, they were all gathered outside the gate of Jing De Palace!

If it were a big phoenix carriage, the empress dowager would walk out with the support of a palace maid. Xu Bixuan hurried over to welcome her …

"Chenqie Xu Bixuan greets the empress dowager!" The other concubines followed suit and kowtowed three times. At this critical juncture, Xia Yaner did not dare to show off again.

Everyone in the palace knew that the empress dowager personally ordered the empress dowager to act today, and the empress dowager doted heavily on this daughter-in-law of hers. Now, Xia Yaner didn't dare to publicly embarrass Xu Bixuan in front of the empress dowager.

Nine golden phoenixes were embroidered on a red imperial robe, looking exceptionally gorgeous. On the phoenix crown were six dragons and three phoenixes, dragons were made from golden silk, phoenixes were made from kingfisher feathers, pearls hung from the dragon's mouth, and among the dragons and phoenixes, there were even some emerald blue flowers and leaves.

Shangguan Ying Rong looked at Xu Bi Xuan kowtowing at her feet, and felt a pang in her heart. She retreated from the palace and helped the empress up, looking at her daughter-in-law with a look of love, completely ignoring her.

"Thank you, empress dowager!" It had been a long time since they last met, and the empress dowager's expression was getting worse. Xu Bixuan knew in her heart that the empress dowager normally did not like to dress up, and had only worn simple clothes, but today she was dressed so grandly for her own sake. Her heart was filled with gratitude!

"Xuan`er, where's the little princess?" Let me see, I thought of it yesterday, but the ladies won't let me out, they say it's a heavy downpour. I know, they were afraid that my son would be angry, so luckily they weren't troubled by it! You don't blame me, do you? " Xu Bixuan's heart was as warm as fire when she heard these words. A dense mist filled her eyes, and a grateful smile appeared on her red lips …

"If mother says so, I will kill Xuan'er. Hearing that mother is not feeling well, Xuan'er has always wanted to go visit, just that … "Xuan'er is unfilial …" She really wanted to do her best to show her filial piety, but the suspicions of Leng Ao Tian were too much, and he kept suspecting that she would denounce him in front of Shangguan Ying Rong, so he gave her an imperial decree not to take even half a step into the Rong Yi Palace without a summons from the empress dowager.
