He just thought that Xiao Che might have begged her to prevent her from agreeing to his plea with Mingzhu.
The two of them chatted and laughed when they arrived at the palace gate. Shen Mingzhu had stopped being angry a long time ago, not to mention that Xiao Xian was still so considerate and comforted her.
Of course she won't let those who love her worry.
Although they had not been in or out of the palace for a year, once they entered the palace, the guards were still respectful, full of awe for Xiao Xian, and full of curiosity and admiration for Shen Mingzhu.
Everyone was respectful and solemn.
The two of them first went to Qianqing Palace to pay their respects to the emperor.
The emperor was reviewing the memorial. When he heard that they were coming, he immediately summoned them.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu entered the palace and came forward to greet the emperor.
The emperor smiled all over his face and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy."
The two of them stood up, and the emperor asked him to take a seat again, "The imperial kitchen has made some new snacks. I taste them well. You guys should try them too."
He waved his hand, and Fu Yu immediately brought it up and presented it to Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, "Your Majesty, Princess, please try it."
Shen Mingzhu looked at the snacks, which were all small and exquisite, but each one was made with exquisite and complicated craftsmanship. Some were in the shape of a lotus, some in the shape of a peony, etc., all in the shape of flowers.
The emperor smiled and said: "It's a beautiful scene, the flowers are beautiful, try it and see how it tastes."
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian tasted it respectively. The two nodded frequently, gave high praise and did not hesitate to praise it.
The emperor laughed happily. Fu Yu looked on and sighed secretly in his heart. The emperor has not laughed much in the past year, let alone such a hearty laugh.
King Yan and the princess are indeed very popular with His Majesty, but just praising a delicious snack can make His Majesty happy.
"Your Majesty, I and Mingzhu are here today to visit Concubine Hui."
Ministers are generally not allowed to see their concubines, but Xiao Xian is a royal prince. Although he is the same generation as Concubine Hui, there is a big age difference. Moreover, when he was a child in the palace, Concubine Hui was the late emperor's female official and took great care of him. He respected Concubine Hui very much.
I have always held the ceremony of being a junior.
Therefore, there is no big problem for him to visit Concubine Hui.
This is just like when princes such as Xiao Che and Xiao Run want to visit the older concubines in the harem, there is basically no need to report it to the emperor.
But in order not to cause trouble to Concubine Hui, and since they were here to kowtow to the emperor, Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu naturally had better report it.
Another problem in this way is that it can avoid any problems with the Queen.
Generally speaking, the activities of concubines in the harem and meetings with relatives and friends need to be reported to the Queen.
If there was no such problem before, but now the relationship between the two of them and Xiao Che is extremely bad, the queen seems to have some changes in her attitude.
This forced the two of them to be careless, lest they cause complications and implicate Concubine Li Hui.
The emperor naturally knew that they were looking for Li Huifei because of what Li Huifei said about asking Shen Mingzhu to help manage the fiefdom and build a farm.
He teased: "Concubine Hui is impatient. We haven't started here yet. Okay, you can go and report to me after your vacation. Don't say that I don't care about you and won't let you rest."
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu stood up, and Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "After all, Concubine Hui's matter is not a matter of the imperial court. It would not be appropriate if it takes up office hours. So I thought that we should discuss it early, and there will be no problems in the future." Then you can concentrate on managing your field."
