Han Jingshu glanced at Eunuch Qin and said warmly, “Eunuch Qin, lead the way. I haven’t seen the Princess Consort for a long time. We’ll talk for a while.”
Eunuch Qin was puzzled. Your two families are about to fight, yet you can still talk? Are you stupid or am I stupid?
Eunuch Qin was not afraid of Han Jingshu. The Crown Prince no longer had any real power. Now, the Regent was Yan Jiuchao, and Yan Jiuchao was the Empress’s ally. Was he still afraid of the Crown Prince Manor?
However… Yu Wan did not show any intention of refusing, which made it difficult for Eunuch Qin to continue standing there.
Eunuch Qin smiled and nodded. He held his horsetail whisk and walked into the Fengshai Palace.
Yu Wan kept holding Little Bruiser’s hand.
Little Bruiser was only a seven or eight-year-old child, so Han Jingshu did not deliberately avoid him. She looked around and said softly to Yu Wan, “Thank you, Princess Consort.”
Yu Wan thought that Han Jingshu sent Eunuch Qin away because she had a lot of “personal questions” to ask her. For example, if Yan Huaijing was still pestering her, or if she would change her mind about Yan Huaijing.
However, after Han Jingshu said “thank you, Princess Consort”, she left herself and entered the Fengshai Palace alone.
Yu Wan was confused!
I’ve already taken off my pants, and you’re showing me this?
Yu Wan thought for a long time but could not figure out where Han Jingshu’s thank you came from.
“Sis, what did you do that the Crown Princess Consort wanted to thank you?” Little Bruiser asked in confusion.
Yu Wan said, “Your question makes sense. I want to know too!”
Although she was the one who cured Han Jingshu’s Gu, Jun Chang’an did not know about this, let alone the unconscious Han Jingshu.
„ Could it be that she knew? When she was unconscious, she heard her conversation with Old Cui? She recognized her voice? If that was really the case, why didn’t she pay her the ten thousand taels of consultation fee for Jun Chang’an? Was it over with a simple thank you?
The daughter of the Prime Minister could not be so petty!
Yu Wan caught the three little eggs near the Fengshai Palace and brought them to greet the Empress.
The Empress had become more and more radiant this year. The nourishment of power made her seem to have become ten years younger. She was in high spirits. How was she still the resentful woman from the Cold Palace?
Beside the Empress sat a little girl about the same age as Little Bruiser. It was the Ninth Princess, whom she had not seen for a long time.
If she hadn’t seen her in the Fengshai Palace, Yu Wan would have forgotten about this shy little girl.
The Ninth Princess’s biological mother was Noble Imperial Concubine Mu. Noble Imperial Concubine Mu had passed away early. The Ninth Princess had grown up in the Prince Hall. The Prince Hall was where the princes and princesses lived. If her status was noble enough, the concubine would keep the princes and princesses by her side and raise them. The low-ranking ones would send the imperial heirs to the Prince Hall.
The Ninth Princess did not have her biological mother taking care of her, so she did not have a good life in the Prince Hall. It was only after the Empress walked out of the Cold Palace that she felt that this child was ignorant and cute, so she brought her back to the Fengshai Palace.
After the Eldest Prince went to live outside the palace, the Empress was lonely. It was good to have a child accompanying her. This was the Empress’s original intention. However, gradually, the Empress realized that the Ninth Princess was very liked by the Emperor, so she became even more concerned about her.
Yu Wan remembered that the first time she saw the Ninth Princess in the Fengshai Palace, the Ninth Princess was hiding behind the nanny with a red face, revealing a pair of big watery eyes to peek at her.
She smiled at the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess also smiled at her. After that, the Ninth Princess liked to stick to her. As long as she was around, the Ninth Princess had to hold her hand.
In her impression, the Ninth Princess was a shy child. She did not say much, but her smile was very pure. She was a cute girl like an elf. For some reason, Yu Wan felt that her smile was not as happy as before when she saw the Ninth Princess again. Her eyes were even a little lifeless from time to time.
Yu Wan and Little Bruiser had not seen each other for a year, but they could still maintain an intimate relationship because they had grown up together. They had once relied on each other and accompanied each other through the most difficult and helpless days. The relationship between them would not disappear casually, but it was different from the Ninth Princess.
They never met a lot of times. At that time, her liking towards her was washed away by a year.
“Ninth Princess, this is your Sister Wan. Do you remember?” The Empress held the Ninth Princess’s hand and said gently.
The Ninth Princess looked at Yu Wan in a daze. A trace of excitement seemed to flash across her eyes, but it was fleeting. It was so fast that Yu Wan suspected that she had seen it wrongly.
The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes. The Empress smiled awkwardly. “This child, why are you so shy? You liked your Sister Wan very much at that time. You were always following behind her like a little tail..”
