Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Brother, hasn't she always wanted to be a legitimate daughter? Since there is no way to get back the life-saving grace for the time being, let her stay as a concubine's daughter for the rest of her life." Luo Yu said coldly.

Luo Zhan nodded in understanding. This dream was truly a sign from God. Otherwise, he would have been foolish enough to do something for others.

***

Qianlong kept a low profile when he toured the south, but was very grand when he returned to the palace.

Because Yongjing's body had not yet fully recovered, even though Changshou was taking care of him, the pace of progress was still slowed down.

Chang Shou: He is really exhausted from all this work day after day!

The Queen and the Queen Mother in the palace started preparing early.

But the Empress Dowager caught a cold a few days ago. After all, she is old and not as healthy as she was when she was young. She had to lie down for a long time before she recovered.

This time the empress dowager was powerless. The sun had been very strong these days and she was worried that her body could not bear it, so she could only wait in the Cining Palace.

The Queen and her concubines were waiting outside the Cining Palace.

The Queen had not seen Hexi and Yongjing for a long time and missed them very much.

As for the emperor, that’s all!

Also next to them were Mianyou and Qiao Jing. The two little kids got up early this morning. They hadn't seen their mom and dad for such a long time, and they were very excited.

At the beginning, because Hexi and Fukang'an were not at home, they thought the monkeys were king and had a lot of fun.

The most important thing is that the entire palace, including the Fucha Mansion, dotes on these two little ones. They are like mice fallen into a rice jar, and they don’t want to leave.

The key is that they are both lovable and not annoying at all, adding a lot of fun to the palace.

Now everyone in the palace knows that the most favored little ancestors are Mian You and Qiao Jing.

But as time went on, Mianyou and Qiao Jing began to miss their mother and father.

They were also sensible and never threw a tantrum. They just pouted with red eyes and whispered that they missed their mother.

The Empress Dowager and everyone in the Fucha Mansion were heartbroken.

It would be fine if they were crying and making a fuss, but it would be heartbreaking to see the two babies not crying or making a fuss.

So when the Queen heard the news that Qianlong's touring team would be returning today, she immediately told Mianyou and Qiao Jing.

The two children's eyes lit up and they began to rummage through their own little vaults.

In recent days, their little private treasury has been filled up a lot, all of which are gifts given to them by their elders because they think they are so cute.

Now they started to choose gifts for Hexi and Fukang'an, and they discussed it one after another. They looked very cute.

Mianyou's temperament is more stable than Qiao Jing's. Normally, if Qiao Jing makes too much trouble, only Mianyou can control her.

But now his face was also flushed and his eyes were full of excitement.

"This, this, I want to give to my beautiful mother, and this..." As Qiao Jing spoke, the ground was filled with gifts.

Finally, she "carefully selected" a fan from the mountain of gifts and gave it to Fu Kang'an reluctantly.

However, your father is a famous military general, why did you give him a folding fan as a gift?

Don’t ask, the real answer is this is the only thing Qiao Jing was willing to give away.

Humph, her father had occupied my mother for so long, and she gave her a fan as a gift, uh, what was it called? Oh, yes! She had done her best!

Previously, Fu Kang'an and Mianyou Qiao Jing were always competing for favor, and their winning rate was 50-50. Now that Fu Kang'an and He Xi have been away for so long, they are really jealous!

Well, I do miss Ama a little bit, just a little bit!

Qiao Jing thought shyly and started picking up Fu Kang'an's gift again.

The two little ones were so excited that He Xi and the others didn’t know that they would have to go through a series of etiquette as soon as they returned to the palace.

Even though He Xi has lived here for so long, he still feels it is complicated.

After finally returning to the princess's mansion, Mianyou and Qiao Jing clung to Hexi, hanging on each of them.

Their little mouths were chattering, and they were eager to tell Hexi everything that had happened in the past few days.

He Xi listened patiently and nodded, even though Qiao Jing's voice was childish and her speech was a little unclear.

But Hexi was not anxious at all, but responded to everything.

Fukang'an did not compete for favor anymore, but sat aside and watched the scene of loving mother and filial son, his heart was full.

This is the embodiment of happiness.

Qiao Jing and Mian You looked at each other, then tacitly got off He Xi's body and hung on Fu Kang'an's body.

The main feature is to soak up both rain and dew.

Although the father and daughter often quarrel, in the hearts of Qiao Jing and Mian You, Fu Kang'an is the best father in the world.

This was the first time that Fukang'an enjoyed such "heavy" love.

His originally cold and hard face also became gentle. He was very strong and played a game of lifting his two children up high.

He Xi watched them play gently from the side.

The sounds of laughter and playfulness resounded throughout the princess's mansion.

"Ama, higher!"

"Ama! I want one too! I want one too!"

After they finished playing, He Xi wiped the sweat off their foreheads with a dry towel.

"Have you been good these days?"

Mianyou and Qiao Jing's faces froze, and they tried to get away with it by being cute.

Qiao Jing gave He Xi a lovely smile, but He Xi was not moved at all.

It looks like they are having a lot of fun. Maybe the even more guilty Qiao Jing is the main force behind it!

She didn't expect the Queen and Fu Heng's wife to take the initiative to report the two children, or even to speak well of them.

Maybe it’s because they are a different generation, her mother and mother-in-law dote on these two kids, something she can never even dream of doing.

"Okay, I get it. It must be bad behavior, right?"

“No, no╰(‵□′)╯” Qiao Jing said unconvinced.

She was so well behaved that she didn't get into any trouble!

Even Mianyou spoke well of Qiao Jing.

"Mother, my sister has indeed been much more obedient this time. She just climbed the roof beam twice and took care of the flowers in the imperial garden except weeding out the weeds..."

Mianyou answered mischievously, but the content of his words was too real.

Qiao Jing's originally proud little head gradually lowered. The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She raised her little pink fist and chased after Mian You.

“Ahhhhh! Brother, you’re bad!”

Mian You had anticipated this and dodged Qiao Jing's attack nimbly, and the two of them started chasing each other.

He Xi watched them playing with a smile.

In order to restore her reputation, Qiao Jing began to count on her fingers the good things she had done.

"Mother, I have a very good relationship with my uncle's future wife! I even vented her anger for her!"

"Oh? How did you vent your anger?"

If she remembered correctly, the imperial decree granting the marriage had already been issued, and anyone with a little bit of sensibility would not offend the future twelfth wife or even the future queen!

But I didn't expect that there really are people who are both vicious and stupid.

When Qiao Jing heard that He Xi was interested, she immediately started talking, gesticulating as she spoke.

"I went to the Imperial Garden and secretly looked at it. At that time, there was an ugly aunt targeting my future aunt, and then..."
