Chapter 802 Do you like Zhongcui Palace?
Moreover, Liu was buried as a noble lady, and the funeral was extremely simple. Her body was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and there was no way to bury this doll with her...
Empress Dowager Liu sighed and said, "Burn it for her."
Madam Yuan nodded: "I understand!"
the other side.
The distance from the Cining Palace to the Yangxin Palace was not far. The eldest princess walked there happily, accompanied by her nannies, holding a doll in her arms.
In the past, she could see her father from time to time, and the eldest princess didn't think it was a big deal. But after not seeing him for so long, the eldest princess really missed him!
Finally, the eldest princess arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Li Changde greeted her with a smile: "Princess, why are you here?"
The eldest princess held up the puppet in her hand and said with a smile, "Eunuch Li, I'm here to give my father a gift. Is my father in there?"
Li Changde bent down and said, "Please wait for a moment, Princess. I will go in and inform you right away."
Then he turned and went into the inner room.
Hearing what Li Changde said, Nangong Xuanyu put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let her in."
"Yes."
The eldest princess bowed naively and said, "Yun'er pays respects to father!"
Nangong Xuanyu could also see the shadow of Liu Shiqing on the eldest princess's face...
A hint of complexity flashed through his eyes, but in the end he showed nothing. He just stood up and walked towards the eldest princess, picked her up and weighed her: "It's heavy."
"It seems that Yun'er has eaten well in the past half month in Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
The eldest princess was so angry that her face puffed up, and she snorted softly: "Father, don't say that girls are fat!"
Nangong Xuanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You little girl, you're not even five years old, and you already know all this?"
The eldest princess nodded heavily: "Of course! Yun'er is also a girl, she doesn't want to be called heavy."
"If you continue to do this, I will not give you any gifts."
Nangong Xuanyu had already seen the wooden puppet in her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, father, I won't say anything more."
The eldest princess then handed him the wooden puppet: "Yun'er chose three, this puppet is the tallest and most powerful, it looks like father!"
"Who do you want to give the other two to?"
Nangong Xuanyu asked this question subconsciously, and the expression on his face froze slightly.
You know the answer without even thinking...
The eldest princess did not notice his abnormality and continued, "One is for the Royal Grandmother, and the other one... Yun'er asked the Royal Grandmother to help Yun'er send it to Lixuan Pavilion."
Nangong Xuanyu was silent...
To this day, no one dares to mention Liu in front of him.
But the eldest princess knew nothing.
The emperor gently put the princess down and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "On the 19th of next month, it will be Yun'er's fifth birthday. What gift does Yun'er want?"
The eldest princess raised her delicate little face and asked expectantly, "Anything is fine?"
She really missed her mother...
I want my father to release my mother and give her a chance to reform...
Perhaps because of the bond between father and daughter, Nangong Xuanyu had already guessed what she was going to say.
He looked away and said, "Yun'er, I have taught you that everyone should be responsible for what they have done. So, don't make requests that would embarrass me."
The eldest princess lowered her head in disappointment: "Oh..."
"Then Yun'er doesn't want anything anymore. She just wants father to be happy every day!"
A pure heart is precious.
Nangong Xuanyu gently pinched the eldest princess's cheek and said softly, "Next month, I will have someone hold a grand birthday banquet for you. Let everyone know that you will always be the apple of my eye!"
"Okay, I still have some government affairs to attend to, you go and have fun."
The eldest princess said obediently, "Yes. Yun'er, take your leave."
Looking at her small figure, Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were as deep as the sea...
The eldest princess is still so young. Perhaps after a long time, one year, two years, three years... she will forget about Liu.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Mingzi noticed that Chu Xiyan had been worried ever since Liu Shiqing was sentenced to death.
Taking advantage of the busy time, he found Chu Xiyan alone and asked with concern: "Xiyan, are you worried about something?"
Chu Xiyan shook her head subconsciously: "No..."
Ever since she decided to give up everything and enter the palace for revenge, she has become accustomed to being alone.
Xiao Mingzi smiled and said, "We all work together in Zhongcui Palace, so we are all family. If you have any concerns, why not tell me?"
"If you are absent-minded all day, it would be bad if you miss the Empress's business one day. Don't you think so?"
Perhaps because she had been alone for too long, or perhaps because Xiao Mingzi's eyes were too sincere, Chu Xiyan lowered her head and said, "Eunuch Ming, I want to leave the palace to pay tribute to my parents. But I know this is against the rules..."
As the saying goes, the palace is as deep as the sea.
Even if the concubine's parents died, they were not allowed to leave the palace without an imperial decree, let alone a little maid like her? How could she have such a big face...
"Is this why you're so worried?"
Xiao Mingzi was somewhat helpless: "You know that the queen is kind-hearted."
"Besides, Her Majesty is also aware of the grudge between you and Concubine Liu, as well as your purpose in entering the palace. You have told Her Majesty what you are thinking, are you afraid that Her Majesty will not show you mercy?"
Chu Xiyan lowered her head even lower: "Actually, it's not just because of this..."
The motivation that has always supported her is to avenge her parents!
But Liu really died, her goal disappeared, and Chu Xiyan felt extremely confused about the future.
"I don't know what I should do in the future..."
Xiao Mingzi was an experienced person, so he asked with concern: "Do you have any relatives outside the palace?"
Chu Xiyan thought of Xiaobao.
She only has one brother.
A few days ago, she asked someone to inquire about Xiaobao's recent situation.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were very kind to Xiaobao, and used most of their earnings to hire a teacher for Xiaobao. They said they wanted Xiaobao to study and learn, so that he could take the imperial examination and become an official when he grew up!
She can do nothing except painting and being a palace maid. It is difficult for her to take care of herself after leaving the palace, let alone support Xiaobao.
Xiaobao will have a better future if he follows Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.
Seeing Chu Xiyan's expression, Xiao Mingzi also understood.
He said in a gentle voice: "My life is lowly. I work in the palace. If I meet a cruel master, I don't know if there will be a tomorrow after today. We are lucky to meet the queen."
"Do you like Zhongcui Palace?"
Chu Xiyan nodded heavily.
Although Concubine Chen was also in a high position, she never took human life lightly and was fair in her dealings. For the palace people, this was already a rare good master.
Xiao Mingzi said again: "Then what's there to worry about?"
"Anyway, you are not old enough to leave the palace yet, and you have no one to worry about outside the palace. The master you follow is good, so just do your job with peace of mind. We can talk about the future later!"
