Zhong Miao Yi's eyes were filled with tears. She knew that at her age, there was really not much time left for her to live a good life. She had originally wanted to bring her out a long time ago, but all sorts of things delayed her.
"Aunty, you don't have to do this." She quickly went to help Aunt Yang up, "It's Miaomiao who came late. I made Aunt wait so long, then I'll leave with Aunt right now."
Aunt Yang held onto her rough hands, which were traces of the passage of time, proof that his aunt had toiled her entire life.
"Princess's words are too serious." Aunt Yang said softly, then saw the bell at the side.
She looked at the bell and then looked at Zhong Miao Yi. She didn't ask Xiao Yao about anything.
Zhong Miao Yi would not change her personal servant for no reason, furthermore, looking at the dress on the bell, it was not a rule a servant girl should have.
Something must have happened to Xiao Yao. Other than that, Aunt Yang couldn't think of any other reason.
Ban Qiu watched from afar. Towards these, he was an outsider, he never thought that the Zhong Miao Yi would have such an identity, but no matter what identity she had, in his memories, she was enough as long as it was Xiao Yi.
He just needed to protect her, not get involved in her life too much.
Aunt Yang naturally did not miss Ban Qiu as well. In her life, she had seen too many people and experienced too many things. It could be seen that Ban Qiu was not a person from the palace, and was not an ordinary person.
However, after living in the palace for so long, she had learned not to ask too much and not to say too much. The best way to survive was to pretend to be deaf and mute.
She turned around and looked at the courtyard once more. This was the place that she had protected for her entire life, and she would never forget the previous owner of this place.
When leaving the cold palace, the bell was a little dazed. Since the arrival of Aunt Yang, he had been nonchalantly conversing with her, so she could only take a step back and gradually increase the distance between the two of them.
"Madam seems to rely heavily on this aunt." She had thought that she was slowly coming into contact with the world of Zhong Miao Yi, but the more time she spent with him, the more she understood that she didn't understand this good-natured and beautiful princess at all.
Ban Qiu did not speak. For the time being, he could not feel any dangerous aura from this aunt of her.
The Zhong Miao Yi was determined to take the Aunt Yang away this time, so rather than hoping that Su Zeyi would find the time to help her while she was busy, it would be better to ask for it herself while she was still pregnant.
The emperor would not be stingy towards an elderly servant who knew her fate.
Along the way back to Chao Sheng Pavilion, Zhong Miao Yi took a random Little Maid to ask the Emperor where she was. Little Maid led the way with her head lowered, choosing to walk on smooth roads.
There were many tree-lined paths in Chao Sheng Pavilion, which looked a little gloomy in this winter season. Zhong Miao Yi unconsciously pulled her cape tighter and asked him concernedly, "Aunt, are you cold?"
Aunt Yang shook her head slightly, her face red from the wind.
The rooms in the house were as warm as spring. The Zhong Miao Yi took off her shawl at the door, then brought the Aunt Yang to go in and kowtow.
When the Emperor saw that the person who came was the Zhong Miao Yi, he was surprised. "A person with a body should not be able to rest properly, why is he here? "A gift."
No matter who it was, they would be able to tell from the Emperor's tight tone that when Zhong Miao Yi sat down, the Emperor saw another person kneeling on the ground. He could not help but ask in confusion, "This is?"
Zhong Miao Yi did not answer directly. Instead, she said to Aunt Yang, "Aunt will raise her head for royal father to see."
Aunt Yang slowly raised her head. She was already old, if one was not very familiar with her, it would be difficult to see how she looked when she was young from her wrinkled face.
The emperor scrutinized her for a long time, then said with a frown, "You are."
"This servant greets the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live and long live." She was trembling when she spoke, not in fear, but in excitement.
He would still be able to meet Sage once more in his lifetime, and would be able to say that he was a servant of the Imperial Consort Zhong and a servant of the Yumiao Palace once again. He would already be able to rest in peace.
"Have I seen you before?" His Majesty asked with uncertainty.
"This servant is from the Jade Temple. Back then, when the Imperial Consort Zhong entered the Palace, this servant was the one who served you all the time." Tears welled up in the Aunt Yang's eyes as she kowtowed once more. "Your Majesty still remembers that the Hibiscus Mutabilis flower bloomed best in the entire Jade Temple."
The Emperor was enlightened.
He remembered the hibiscus flowers.
Times change, original. He was not the only one to remember.
"How did you find her?" The Emperor was dazed for a moment, then suddenly turned and looked at Zhong Miao Yi curiously.
"Does royal father not feel that this is a kind of miraculous fate? Is it fated by the heavens?" Zhong Miao Yi smiled slightly, "Aunt Yang is already old, I want to bring Aunt out to live with me. What does royal father think?"
The emperor was stunned. "Destined by the heavens? Indeed, it is fated by the heavens. "
Zhong Miao Yi got up and walked over to Aunt Yang. "Aunt Yang is getting old, and this son lacks an experienced aunt. This aunt has served my mother for the longest time, so this son also wants to know more about my mother."
This was the first time he had ever mentioned Imperial Consort Zhong.
The deceased mother, even if she had no lifelong affinity with her, helped her in her own unique way after her death.
Sure enough, the emperor's expression loosened. Zuo was only a servant. He nodded in agreement.
Everything went as expected.
When Zhong Miao Yi and Aunt Yang came out, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
In her eyes, the Emperor was the most powerful person in the world, someone worthy of reverence.
But the Zhong Miao Yi was considering something else.
Su Zeyi had gone to discuss matters with the Emperor, but he did not see him. Then, where did he go? Did he find me?
Zhong Miao Yi immediately thought of the man she just met.
Could it be that the two of them had met?
She was a little worried, not because of Su Zeyi, but because of Old Lady Su.
"Where are the empress dowager and the others?" Zhong Miao Yi blurted out a question. Only now did she recall that no one here seemed to know anything and she could not help but feel a little awkward.
Fortunately, the Aunt Yang responded, "If the princess is looking for the empress dowager, they should go to the garden.
That was true. The ladies were all surrounded by flowers. Other than the garden, there was really no better place to go to.
The Zhong Miao Yi didn't know where the garden of Chao Sheng Ge was, but at least there was a place with the Emperor that lacked servants. When the bell woke up a young eunuch who was dozing off in the corner, he was rather frightened.
However, Zhong Miao Yi did not want to make things difficult for him. Under the lead of a young eunuch, they arrived very quickly.
