The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 553: Tension and Anticipation

At dawn, a faint golden hue appeared on the horizon. Deep inside the palace, a heavy vermilion door slowly opened, as if welcoming a new day.

Aunt Yuan Xin walked out of the inner hall with the freshness of morning dew, her face filled with a warm smile, as warm as the rising sun.

"Ladies and girls, the Empress Dowager invites you."

Aunt Yuan Xin's voice was like a trickle of water, echoing in the quiet palace. Following her announcement, the queen and a group of concubines entered the inner hall first.

Yun Xi and a group of ladies were waiting quietly outside, with expressions of respect and anticipation on their faces.

Princess Anyang could have gone in first, but when she saw Yun Xi was still waiting, she decided to stay with her.

The two stood side by side, with a determined look in their eyes.

Aunt Yuan Xin walked out of the inner hall again. Her voice was steady and powerful as she announced to the ladies present: "The Empress Dowager has ordered that all ladies and girls come to the palace for an audience." As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Xi immediately straightened her dress and followed the team into the palace in an orderly manner.

However, just as everyone was climbing the stairs, Aunt Yuan Xin suddenly reached out to stop Yun Xi and said softly, "Princess, please wait a moment and wait until all the ladies have finished paying their respects before entering."

Yun Xi was slightly stunned, and when she looked up, she happened to meet Madam Liu's smug eyes.

She knew in her heart that this was just a small game of rank in the palace.

According to their status, people were led in in batches.

Yun Xi stood aside, observing all this silently.

She knew very well that although she was granted the title of Princess, in the eyes of these powerful people, she was just a chess piece placed at will by the royal family, just like the title of her father, Censor Xiao, which was just an empty title.

Princess Anyang wanted to stay and accompany Yunxi, but was persuaded by Aunt Yuan Xin: "Princess, please go in first. Beiming Hou's wife is inside. She has something important to discuss with you." The princess had no choice but to nod and comfort Yunxi: "It's okay. I will wait for you inside."

Yun Xi agreed softly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Perhaps it would be more beneficial for her to meet the Empress Dowager alone.

Aunt Qingyang noticed her nervousness and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Princess. Everything will be settled."

Yun Xi nodded gratefully, but still felt uneasy.

These ladies stayed in the palace longer than the empress and concubines, and when they came out they were holding gifts given by the Empress Dowager.

When Old Madam Liu and the aunt walked out, they glanced at Jin Ning arrogantly and snorted with disdain: "How dare she compare herself with us? Want to go in with us? She is really overestimating herself!" After that, she left arrogantly.

At this time, Aunt Yuan Xin walked out of the bedroom, bowed to Yun Xi and said, "Princess, the Empress Dowager invites you to the bedroom to see her."

As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Liu and Auntie turned back to look at Yun Xi, their eyes full of astonishment and jealousy. Yun Xi followed Aunt Yuan Xin away at an unhurried pace under their gazes.

The entrance to the bedroom can be entered directly from the main hall, but Aunt Yuan Xin chose to go around through the corridor.

The two of them walked through the winding corridors and met Aunt Qingyang on the way.

After the two of them reminisced about the past, Aunt Yuan Xin asked Aunt Qingyang to stay outside, saying that they had not seen each other for a long time. Although Aunt Qingyang looked at Yun Xi with some concern, she left at ease after Aunt Yuan Xin comforted her.

Finally, they arrived at the door of the bedroom. Aunt Yuan Xin gently opened the door and said to Yun Xi, "Princess, please come in. The Empress Dowager is waiting for you inside."

Yun Xi took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to step over the threshold.

She stood in front of the glass bead curtain, looking at the hazy figure behind the curtain, feeling both nervous and expectant.
