    When Hua Xi entered the house, the person who came to report had already finished his reply, and the maid led him down to receive the reward.

    Hua Xi asked anxiously: "Aunt, I heard that the fourth sister gave birth. When did it happen? I heard old mothers say that women have to go through hell when they give birth. I wonder how the fourth sister is doing?"

    "What happened last night was that a boy was born." Although Mu Xiangqing was happy, his eyes were even more worried, "I heard that it was dangerous at that time. The child suffered heavy bleeding after coming out. Later, the bleeding was stopped, and although his life was saved,  His body was weak and he needed to be nursed for a year or two before he could recover. Princess Nakdong took the child to the Crown Princess's house to raise her"

    This is not a good thing.  It would be okay if it was raised by Princess Luodong, but if it was raised by the Crown Princess, the fourth sister would be in better health, so it would be much more difficult to get the child back.

    "Fourth sister's matters cannot be urgent. We have to take good care of ourselves first."

    Huaxi didn¡¯t know what to say, but Mu Xiangqing was worried but couldn¡¯t do anything. Such matters in the palace were beyond their control.

    "Well, having said that, it's just that Yunyi has suffered such a serious crime, and I don't know when she will recover. I will post a post in two days to go to the palace to have a look, hey!" Mu Xiangqing sighed, "What do you want to see me for?  "

    Huaxi told her about her promise to take Yunlin and Yunning to the palace for a banquet, "I came to ask my aunt to send a message there."

    Mu Xiangqing thought for a moment and said, "Since you agreed, take them with you. It's no different than before. You will have to be separated from them when you enter the palace for the banquet. I will send someone to watch the two of them then.  You don¡¯t have to worry about the rest.¡±

    "Thank you very much, aunt."

    Seeing that Mu Xiangqing was not energetic, Huaxi chatted casually for a few words before getting up and leaving.

    Two days later, Mu Xiangqing went to Luodong Palace. When he came back, he just sighed. Judging from the situation, he knew that Yun Yi's condition was really not good, so he planned to find an opportunity to go to Luodong Palace to take a look before leaving.

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s December, and it snowed twice in a row.  The snow on the streets was cleared to both sides, leaving a carriageway in the middle to facilitate the passage of vehicles.

    Hua Xi sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the carriage with interest.  The snow stopped, and long ice skates formed under the eaves. The children picked up stones and laughed and competed in the ice skates.

    "Girl, it's cold, freeze carefully." Cuiming warned from the side.

    "Oh!" Hua Xi breathed a sigh of relief, watching the white mist dissipate and the sound of children laughing in his ears gradually disappearing, and responded softly.  Only when there were few houses on both sides of the street and only bare trees covered with snow were left beside the wide avenue did Huaxi put down the car curtain in his hand.

    Arriving at the palace gate, the guards accompanying King Xin came to ask Hua Xi to get out of the car.

    This is the side door that welcomes guests into the palace. There are already palace waiters waiting in line in front of the door.

    The vermilion color of the door, which is inlaid with gilt copper nails, is particularly bright against the backdrop of the tall gray palace walls.  Standing at the gate of the palace, the sense of oppression under the solemn majesty made Hua Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

    King Xin said softly: "Don't worryjust stay with Mrs. Weiyuanhou."

    Hua Xi nodded lightly, separated from Susukino Xin, and followed Mu Xiangqing and the other two waiters onto the sedan.  Yun Lin and Yun Ning also got out of the car behind them, walking in a well-behaved manner, not daring to express their anger, lowering their heads and following closely behind.

    Mu Xiangqing took the three people from Huaxi into the inner palace and got off the sedan in a sedan. A female official came to greet them and invited Mu Xiangqing and others to visit the Queen Mother's Palace.

    The four of them walked for two-quarters of an hour and faintly saw the vermilion palace wall with glazed tiles. After walking about a hundred steps, they saw a dark ebony door, with a blue and gilt inscription holding the word "Changchun" hanging high on top.  plaque.

    Hua Xi followed Mu Xiangqing into the palace gate with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes.

    Entering the hall, the house was full of fragrance, sweet smiles and soft words, and you knew that there were many people in the hall.

    Mu Xiangqing and Hua Xi came in, and their laughter gradually subsided.  Mu Xiangqing led the three people from Huaxi to kneel down and greet the Queen Mother.

    "Get up, let's feel free to do it today, no need to be polite." The Queen Mother smiled and asked Mu Xiangqing and the others to stand up. Her eyes stopped on the three people in Huaxi behind her, "Which one is the daughter recognized by King Xin?"

    Mu Xiangqing smiled and held Huaxi's hand, motioning her to take a step forward, "Huaxi, please salute the Queen Mother."

    Huaxi came out from behind Mu Xiangqing and took a step forward. She didn't know if she was too nervous or if she had adapted to the atmosphere here. She was not as nervous as she was when she entered the palace just now. She smiled and blessed the Queen Mother, "Huaxi pays homage to the Queen Mother.  I wish the Queen Mother good health, longevity and eternal youth."

    Hua Xi raised her head slightly, and the Queen Mother¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Huaxi wears a coral red embroidered white plum tapestry coat on her upper body.The neckline is trimmed with silver fox, and the lower body wears a twelve-piece moon-white Hunan skirt.  Hibiscus face, autumn eyes, pretty face.  The facial features are soft and have the characteristics of the Chinese and Xiyue people. They are soft and charming, with unique charm, and she is a beautiful woman.

    When the Queen Mother saw her smiling, she was neither humble nor arrogant, she didn't show any nervousness, but she had a proud air of Baimei, and she liked her a little more.

    Hua Xi also saw clearly the appearance of the Queen Mother.  The Queen Mother is now more than sixty years old. She is dressed in a bright yellow palace dress embroidered with gold silk peonies. She has pearls and emerald hairpin rings on her black hair. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes. Her facial features can be seen as beautiful as when she was young.  About ten years old.

    The Queen Mother looked at Hua Xi and nodded and said: "Look at how sweet the little mouth is. The Ai family is an old family. How can it be compared to your flower-like daughter's family."

    Someone nearby agreed that the Queen Mother was taking good care of herself.

    The Queen Mother smiled again and stopped everyone: "Okay, okay this kid in Huaxi is really annoying. I heard that you are excellent at making incense and have earned the nickname of 'Fragrant Beauty'. Today I saw that you are truly worthy of your name. It's rare."  He is so well-behaved and smart, and the Ai family likes it when he sees it! King Xin is so lucky that even the Ai family is a little envious. Come here, bring my pair of red jade bracelets to Huaxi."

    "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward!"

    "The Imperial Grandmother is partial. Qiongzhi asked you twice but you were not willing to give it to me. Why did you give it to Huaxi today?"

    The voice of Qiongzhi people outside the palace gate has arrived.

    The Queen Mother smiled even more, "Why don't you come in when everyone is here? How long are you going to hide?"

    The eldest princess and Qiongzhi walked into the palace, and everyone stood up to salute.  The eldest princess and Qiongzhi greeted the Queen Mother.

    The Queen Mother waved to Qiongzhi, and Qiongzhi walked up to the Queen Mother, pouted and pulled the Queen Mother's sleeves and said coquettishly: "What's the matter? Is the Queen Mother also planning to reward Qiongzhi with something good?"

    The Queen Mother was amused by Qiongzhi's expression, "You little thing, you are jealous when you look at other people's things. Last time you looked at the pair of jade vases, just go back and pick them up this time."

    Qiongzhi smiled brightly and hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother for the reward. After saying this, she did not forget to wink at Huaxi.  The corners of Huaxi's lips raised again, this Qiongzhi really knew how to take advantage of others.  But it was obvious that the Queen Mother really loved her.

    The queen and the three highest-ranking concubines in the palace all followed the queen mother and gave gifts to Huaxi.  Hua Xi thanked them one by one, and the Queen Mother asked Mu Yunlin and Mu Yunning's names, nodded slightly, and ordered someone to give Hua Xi and Mu Xiangqing a seat.

    As soon as she sat down, Qiongzhi came over and asked the palace maid to move a brocade stool next to Huaxi. She glanced at Yunlin and Yunning behind Mu Xiangqing, frowned slightly, and said to Huaxi, "They  Why are the two sisters here? Madam Zhenyuan Marquis has not yet received a royal decree, so who brought them in? "

    Yunlin and Yunning originally received rewards from Huaxi, and the Queen Mother would see them. Unexpectedly, Princess Duanning intervened halfway and made the Queen Mother forget about this. Then it was Huaxi who received the rewards from the Queen and others.  The two of them looked at each other with tears in their eyes when they heard the Queen Mother ask about it. They thought they could show off well, but unexpectedly they just asked their names and that was the end of the matter.  The two of them were very depressed, and when they heard Duan Ning say this again, their faces became even more ugly.

    Qiongzhi glanced at the two people with green and black faces, raised the corners of her lips, came close to Huaxi, and whispered: "The banquet is in the evening. After lunch, don't go to enjoy the plum blossoms with those women. I  I¡¯ll take you around the palace. This is the place where I grew up playing, and I know what¡¯s interesting even with my eyes closed!¡±

    Huaxi said softly, "Hmm", and Qiongzhi went to talk elsewhere with a smile.

    Yun Lin and Yun Ning were sulking, but because the palace was filled with concubines and noble ladies, they did not dare to get angry.

    The Queen Mother spoke for a while and then passed on the meal.  At the banquet, the Queen Mother specially gave Hua Xi two dishes, which made Yun Lin and Yun Ning jealous.

    After the meal, everyone accompanied the Queen Mother to the plum garden in the palace to appreciate the plum blossoms.  Huaxi was dragged to the back by Qiongzhi, and after speaking to the female officer who was waiting next to her, he took two maids and pulled Huaxi away.

    Yun Ning caught a glimpse of Hua Xi leaving and winked at Yun Lin, wanting to follow, but was stopped by Mu Xiangqing, so they had no choice but to give up.

    "Well, Hua Xi and Princess Duanning must have gone somewhere else to wander around after they left. Who might they meet?"

    Yun Ning looked at the front of the team. Yun Lin followed her gaze and caught a glimpse of Princess Jingfu and Princess Jinghe who were walking in front. She thought for a moment and whispered: "Prince Jingfu wants to marry, the Queen Mother."  I want to give her face, so I allow her to accompany her If they don't want to deal with Duan Ning, why don't they give a message to Princess Jinghe, so that we don't have to step in."

    Yun Ning nodded, "This method is appropriate."

    Yun Lin whispered a few words to Yun Ning. Yun Ning nodded, took a few steps back to avoid Mu Xiangqing, and ran to the side of the team to look for the maid serving Princess Jinghe.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
