"It's... it's said that the princess and the young prince are to be brought into the palace to pay their respects." Housekeeper Zhou saw the prince's gloomy face and his voice became softer unconsciously, "The princess said that she wants to meet the young prince."
"I understand." Si Haochen said indifferently, "Go down."
"Yes." Butler Zhou rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran very fast.
"Is tomorrow a good day to say hello?" Mingruo rubbed his forehead, thinking of the evil Concubine Shen, her head hurt.
"The king will accompany you tomorrow." It would be fine if Mingruo didn't go to the palace, but it would be unreasonable to go to the Jinle Palace of Concubine Xian but not the Changchun Palace.
Besides, Xuan'er should also show her face in the palace.
Early the next morning, Mingruo was dragged out of bed by Zi Su and Aunt Dong. She was still dazed while sitting in front of the dressing table, closing her eyes and letting Zi Su tie her hair.
After being put on a smoky palace dress, Mingruo said quietly: "Don't you have breakfast before changing clothes?"
"On the first day of every month, please invite An De to enter the palace early in the morning. After midnight, you will not be allowed to enter the palace." Aunt Dong said.
"Oh." In other words, there is no breakfast to eat...
"The concubine will prepare breakfast in the palace." Aunt Dong added.
"Haha." She didn't dare to eat the food in Concubine Shen's palace. Who knows what kind of ingredients were added to it.
"Good morning, concubine." Xiao Tuanzi was wearing a black brocade robe today, with the pattern of a unicorn offering auspiciousness embroidered on the chest. He wore a small and exquisite white jade crown on his head, which looked very similar to Si Haochen.
"Morning." Mingruo pinched Xiaotuanzi's cheek, "You look very handsome today."
"What is handsome?" Xiao Tuanzi looked up at Mingruo with his little face raised.
"That's it... Qi Yu Xuanang." Mingruo took out a bottle of Yi Ling Dan from his sleeve pocket, "This is a detoxification pill. If you feel uncomfortable or have a stomachache, take one."
When Si Haochen saw the bottle, he knew what was inside. He also specially brought a bottle with him in the morning, but he didn't expect Mingruo to bring it directly to Xuan'er.
"Oh." Xiaotuanzi took the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.
"Try not to eat or drink in the palace." Theoretically speaking, Concubine Shen would not harm her eldest grandson. However, the first time they met, Concubine Shen gave herself a killer drug. .It can be seen that Concubine Shen just wants Shen Bichi to give birth to a monkey for Si Haochen. Then, Xiaotuanzi may also be an eyesore to her.
"Xuan'er has taken note of it." Xiao Tuanzi nodded seriously.
Si Haochen saw that Ming Ruo had finished explaining everything, and then he said, "Let's go."
When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, the carriages from the Royal Palace and the Duke's Palace were already waiting there.
"I want to take a car with my grandmother." Mingruo walked to the carriage at the Duke's Mansion.
"Xuan'er wants to stay with the mother and concubine." Xiaotuanzi grabbed Mingruo's sleeve.
Mingruo turned her head and looked at Si Haochen: "Do you have anything to explain to Xuan'er?"
"No." Si Haochen shook his head.
"Then I'll take him." Mingruo leaned over and picked up Xuan'er, then stepped onto the carriage.
"You go up first." Si Haochen took the dumpling from Mingruo and waited until she got in the car before handing the child to her. "Your car goes in front, and the palace's car follows behind."
"Oh." If the palace's carriage was allowed to go ahead, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up. Mingruo got into the carriage with Xiao Tuanzi in her arms.
The old lady was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Tuanzi, and then she asked with a smile: "Is this the young prince of the palace? He is so good-looking."
"Hello, great-grandmother, Xuan'er wishes you well." Xiao Tuanzi bowed obediently.
"Okay, this little girl has such a sweet mouth." The old lady smiled and pulled the little dumpling over and looked at it, "This looks really like the prince."
Mother Ji handed a small hand stove to Mingruo: "Princess Nuannuan."
"Thank you, mama." Mingruo took the stove.
"Princess, you haven't had breakfast yet. Your Majesty asked me to prepare some snacks." Aunt Dong carried the food box and got into the car.
"Well, I am indeed hungry." Mingruo asked Aunt Dong to put out the snacks, "Grandma, I want to try them too. Aunt Dong makes delicious snacks."
"The snacks at your house are really good. Your grandfather loved the cloud-legged mooncakes and egg yolk cakes last time," the old lady said with a smile.
"Then I'll make some for grandpa to eat in a few days. There's still some ham." Mingruo pinched a piece of red bean cake and handed it to Xiaotuanzi.
"Xuan'er and my father also like to eat snacks made in the concubine's kitchen." Xiao Tuanzi immediately expressed his opinion.
"I know, let Lithospermum make more, you will be indispensable." Mingruo flicked Xiaotuanzi's forehead.
"Hehe." Xiaotuanzi happily gnawed on the red bean cake in his hand.
Talking and laughing along the way, the journey to the palace didn't seem so long.
"You and the prince first go to Changchun Palace to pay their respects. I will wait for you at your aunt's Jinle Palace." The old lady folded the black fox fur coat on her body.
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
Aunt Ji and Aunt Dong helped the old lady get out of the car. When they saw Si Haochen waiting by the car, they all saluted.
Si Haochen helped Mrs. Su up: "Madam, you don't need to be polite."
Mingruo came out with Xiaotuanzi in his arms. Si Haochen took Xuan'er with one hand and helped Mingruo get out of the car with the other.
The old lady looked at it with joy in her eyes. It seemed that Prince Yun treated his granddaughter very well.
Prince Yun's exclusive shoulder carriage was carried over, and the three of them got on the carriage. Mrs. Su watched them leave, and then she took Mother Ji to Jinle Palace.
When Prince Yun's father-in-law entered the Changchun Palace, Shen Bichi's heart skipped a beat. Did his cousin also enter the palace too?
She encouraged her aunt to summon Princess Qinghuang and the kid, just to take advantage of the opportunity to do something - if the palace no longer had a princess to take care of it, she could return to the palace justifiably.
However, if my cousin is here...
Xiaotuanzi was held by Mingruo and Si Haochen, and felt happy. It felt good.
Concubine Shen was very relieved to see that her son no longer had to rely on a wheelbarrow for transportation. After the ceremony, Concubine Shen ordered someone to watch his seat.
"This is Xuan'er, come and show me." Concubine Shen waved to Xiao Tuanzi.
Xuan'er came to Concubine Shen and bowed respectfully. She knew etiquette and knew how to advance and retreat. She looked like a little adult, but lacked the liveliness and clinginess that a child should have.
Seeing Xuan'er like this, Concubine Shen couldn't help but look at Si Haochen.
The same was true for her son when he was a child. His father stayed by his side and taught him since he was a child, and he was not close to her.
I originally thought that if I don't get close, I won't get close. His father valued him so much that he would definitely pass the throne to him in the future. By then, she would be the most noble woman in the harem. Who would have thought that the Supreme Emperor abdicated the throne, but he didn't
Passing the throne to the son to whom he devoted the most efforts.
Concubine Shen was thinking about something and looked at Xiao Tuanzi without saying anything. Xiao Tuanzi estimated the time and felt that she had probably seen enough, so she returned to Mingruo.
