"It's not that the princess misses the emperor, she cried when she woke up these past few days. Only now, she's actually smiling." The mother-in-law smiled.

"Is that so?" Yang Guang had a look of surprise as he replied.

The old granny slightly squinted her eyes. With a benevolent smile on her weathered face, she said:

"This old servant has never seen the princess smile so much. Seeing her smile so sweetly, it's as if I've eaten honey in my heart. I beg that Your Majesty come visit the princess more often in the future."

As the mother-in-law spoke, she gave me a deep look. Naturally, I understood her intention. She wanted me to open my mouth and ask me to keep Yang Guang. However, his heart was cold, and his smile was as cold as ice:

"Ha'er misses royal father. Please, your majesty, for the sake of the rosy clouds, take more care of her." When I said this, there was hardly any expression on my face, as if I was just doing my routine.

Grandma was secretly worried, but I couldn't say it out loud.

Yang Guang's face slightly changed, and said with a hint of ridicule:

"Could it be that Ha missed me?" Where's the Queen? "

Before Yang Guang came to the Yongan Palace, I swore repeatedly that I would make him stay, but now that he had finally come and asked first, I was at a loss for words. Looking at his slightly mocking gaze, the stubbornness in my heart rose once again.

"Your Majesty, you have so much to do. Your consort has the audacity to ask Your Majesty to trouble yourself again."

Yang Guang looked a little disappointed, but did not say another word. Only Granny Yu stood to the side, feeling anxious.

As it happened, Changshun came to report that a courier had arrived from the Turk to see the emperor. Yang Guang handed his son over to his wet nurse, turned around, and left with large strides.

I stood at the door of the hall and stared at his back. My heart was in a mess as it sank, but I couldn't say what it felt like.

After a long time, I slowly paced back to the inner room, and when I reached the door, I heard my mother-in-law and Yi Xiu whispering to each other.

The mother-in-law said, "Ai, the princess' temper is a bit too stubborn. If not, she wouldn't have ended up like this with His Majesty."

Ying Xiu sighed and said, "This servant has also tried to persuade the Empress and hinted at her. However, the Empress has a high and lofty character, so she cannot let go of that bit of pride. Today, the Emperor is right in front of her.

The mother-in-law added, "That's right, the princess is a very proud child. I have followed the princess for many years and watched her grow up, train day after day. However, the intelligence of the princess can be used elsewhere. Every time she is with His Majesty, she becomes like a child again. "

"Your majesty's character is refined, demure and demure. Of course, you cannot compare to those mediocre and ordinary fans. This is a good thing, but your majesty is too playful and charming. If this continues, wouldn't Yongan Palace become a cold palace?"

The mother-in-law "shushed" and said, "The young lady's voice should be softer, don't let the princess hear it, or else she will be sad again. The princess's heart is cold outside but hot inside, and this old woman sees that she is deeply in love with her majesty, and the majesty isn't heartless to the princess either, it's just that — sigh, a pair of grudges."

"Granny is right. The Empress and His Majesty are both stubborn people, neither of them willing to give the other a way out." After a moment's thought, she said, "How about I — this servant will pave the way for you —" Ying Xiu's voice was getting softer and softer. I could no longer hear her clearly, so she probably whispered into my mother-in-law's ear.

After a while, seeing that there was still no movement inside, I entered.

As expected, Ying Xiu was whispering to her mother-in-law with a mysterious look in her eyes. When she heard my footsteps, she hurriedly greeted me with a cloak.

"Esteemed Empress, although the rain has ended today, it is still cold outside. Why don't you come to the inner room?"

I didn't answer. I walked on until I was next to the two children, one in each hand. I put my arms around them and felt a little warmth in my cold heart.

After a hundred days, the sky finally cleared up. However, the wind did not stop there, as the withered leaves fell into the autumn wind.

The geese flew south, the gold chrysanthemum was proud and frosty, late autumn had arrived, and the chill was growing stronger and stronger.

Ying Xiu put on a bright red cloud pattern robe for me, and took two children dressed in beautiful makeup to the Yongfu Palace.

Yun'er had also been dressed up, and looked cute. However, her eyes were still dull and lifeless, which made people sigh in their hearts.

"As for the few toys that I have collected in the past, I shall give them to Yun'er as a congratulatory gift." With that, he gestured to the grass to open the brocade box.

There were a total of four gifts inside the box, one for pure gold, two for Green Pine Stone bracelets, one for Emerald Monastery's Bodhisattva, and one for Red Coral Necklace. The beads were round and smooth like gems, and faintly glowed with a red luster, a rare treasure, most likely the only one in the entire Great Sui Empire.

With his sharp eyes, Chen Zhen recognized the red coral necklace and said in surprise:

"Isn't this what the empress dowager bestowed upon the Empress when she got married?" How could Yun'er bear this? I'll leave it for Hal. "

I smiled and said:

"I am also Yun'er's mother. Why would I be reluctant to give it to my own son and daughter? "Besides, His Majesty has already piled up all his rewards at Hare's place."

Chen Zhen's face changed slightly and became slightly sad. However, he quickly recovered and said with a smile:

"In that case, this concubine thanks the empress in place of my son."

Zhao'er was mischievous and suddenly broke free from her mistress' grasp. She ran over and grabbed the red coral necklace, her voice young and cute.

"Muhou, this pearl is so beautiful! Is it for second royal sister?"

I smiled and nodded.

Zhao'er's eyes were filled with stars as she smacked her lips a few times and said with a smile:

"Then please let mufei put it on for second royal sister. Let me have a look as well, it must be very beautiful."

Chen Zhong took the red coral necklace that Zhao'er had raised up high, and passed it to the court lady behind him. Su Ke Er came in and saw the necklace in Chen Zhong's hand. She took it from the court lady and personally put it on for Yun'er. He smiled and said:

"When the Second Princess wears this necklace, her beauty will increase quite a bit. In the future, she will definitely be as beautiful as elder sister Chen Consort."

Yun'er put it on, and naturally extended it around her waist. Then, she threw away the pastries she was currently holding in her hand, and reached out to catch the red pearl.

It was a little late, Yang Guangfang had actually arrived empty-handed. He could not stand the laughter of his concubines and had no choice but to take his place and bestow it upon Yun'er.

Yang Guang had never been happy with his son, and had never heard of him getting any rewards since his birthday. Although Chen Zhen resented this, he could do nothing about it. Who told Yun'er to be so slow that he couldn't see anything?

It was time for the banquet to begin. As they were eating, they caught a glimpse of Yi Yun and the others laughing and turning to look, only to see Yun'er grabbing Yang Guangzhi's maw with both hands and pecking it in his mouth. It was indeed as the rumors said, they would eat whatever they grabbed.

He looked at Yang Guang, who was frowning at Yu'er, and said unhappily:

"Why is it still like this?"

Chen Zhen hurriedly ordered his men to seize the Scholar's Tassel in Yun'er's hand. He then kneeled down on the ground and replied with a trace of mist in his eyes:

"Your majesty, please forgive us. It was chenqie who didn't teach you well."

Seeing Chen Zhuo kneeling on the ground, Yang Guang's little face was pale, and his eyes were brimming with tears. He looked extremely pitiful. He let out a long sigh and said tenderly:

"Stand up, you can't be blamed for this."

Because it was a family banquet, the days before the princess was not considered a big day, so she was exempt from singing and dancing. The topic of conversation was naturally all about Yun'er, and they talked for a while about the gifts that had been sent over from the other palaces.

Yang Guang naturally accompanied Chen Hedong. As Han and Zhao'er were sleeping soundly, I had already ordered people to send them back to Yongan Palace. Seeing that everyone had said their goodbyes to Chen Hung, I also stood up and left.

Who knew that after eating a few more cups, when he arrived at the entrance of the Eternal Blessed Palace and was blown away by the wind, he felt a bit dizzy …

Who knew that after eating a few more cups, when we arrived at the entrance of the Eternal Fortune Palace, a cold wind blew, causing us to feel a little dizzy. The dog hurriedly supported us, allowing us to stand firmly.

However, Ying Xiu, who had been following me, suddenly gave the dog a look and lightly pushed me from the side. I lost my balance and fell on the dog's body.

"Princess, what's wrong?!" The dog held me up with all his might, and his voice was anxious as he called out to me.

Just as I was wondering, I raised my head and looked at Doggie in surprise. I didn't know where he was singing with Ying Xiu, but just as I was about to ask, Ying Xiu had already ran all the way to the main hall of the Eternal Fortune Palace.

"Your majesty, this isn't good. The empress suddenly fainted!" In the distance, I could hear the panicky sound of her sleeves.

"What's going on?" Yang Guang angrily asked, while he spread out Chen Hei who was holding onto his arm, and quickly walked towards me.

"Perhaps it's because she's had too much wine. The Empress hasn't had any thoughts of eating or drinking in the past few days, and her body has always been weak. She could not have drank this much wine." Ying Xiu hurriedly said as she followed behind Yang Guang.

"Hmm?" Yang Guang was a little doubtful, but he didn't have the time to ask. He came to my side and grabbed my waist from Doggie's body.

His heart instantly brightened. This was the staircase to flushing sleeves. A wry smile appeared on his face, but he had no choice but to play along with Lin Zhexiu. Otherwise, how could the crime of bullying the monarch be a joke?

It's hard to come up with such an idea for the sake of Ying Xiu, isn't this forcing me to submit to Yang Guang?

He felt sad in his heart and felt wronged for no reason. His eyes could not help but tear up.

Forget it, forget it. Since things had come to this point, he could only brace himself and feign ignorance as he spoke weakly:

"Your majesty, your majesty, chenqie's dizziness is too great. I'm afraid that if I drink too much wine, I won't be able to withstand the night breeze."

With that, he fell into Yang Guang's arms.

Yang Guang frowned for a moment, and then suddenly stretched out his arm, his wide sleeves coincidentally wrapped around me, blocking the night wind.

"This Emperor will send the empress back to the palace." His words were extremely soft, but every word entered his ears, as if he had returned to the past. Yang Guang was still that youth dressed in white, and I, was still that little princess who had just had her first love.

However, when their eyes met, their gazes were much more complicated than before, no longer as clear.

Chen Wu had chased me to the door, but when he saw Yang Guang embracing me, his eyes showed slight resentment, but he only concealed his expression and said:

"Is the empress in serious trouble?" Why don't chenqie call a warm sedan chair to send the Empress back? "

I slightly waved my hand, facing Chen with a bit of annoyance in my eyes, and said:

"No need, Yongfu Palace is only a breath of time away from Yongan Palace. We'll arrive in a moment, His Majesty can stay behind to accompany his little sister, and with Yingxiu and Gou'er to help me return."
