After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

When he woke up again, Abao was in much better spirits.

Xuanyuan Fengran, who was not allowed to enter and leave the Eastern Palace at will, once again asked Xie Wuai to send a pot of angelica, red dates and mutton soup into the Eastern Palace.

It was lunch time, so Abao gave half of the pot to Xie Wuai.

The mutton is stewed until soft, the red dates are sweet, and the mutton bone soup is fresh, fragrant and rich, and warm in the mouth.

After waking up, Abao drank two bowls in a row.

Xie Wuai, who was sitting across the round table, said with lingering fear: "Imperial sister, did you really suddenly fall unconscious while offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the Huangji Palace? There are rumors in the palace right now, and I'm afraid it will soon reach the ears of all the civil and military officials."

A Bao didn't want Xie Wuai to worry, so he used the same explanation he gave to Concubine Wen, "It's just that I was too tired recently and fell into a daze."

Xie Wuai obviously didn't believe it.

But A Bao suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Xie Wuai, when did you become friends with Emperor Uncle Feng Ran? Why are you willing to help him again and again?" She brought him into the Eastern Palace and helped him deliver things to the Eastern Palace.

However, compared to the confused A Bao, Xie Wuai was even more confused.

He said blankly, "Didn't you arrange it? You sent me a secret letter before, asking me to help find a master craftsman to forge a black jade ring."

"That day, King Feng Ran asked me to bring him to the East Palace. I asked for a token of love, and King Feng Ran showed me the black jade ring. At that time, I remembered that you, my sister, said that the black jade ring was for a very important person."

"So, I helped King Feng Ran enter the East Palace."

Upon hearing this, Abao understood.

Although Xuanyuan Fengran has never worn the black jade ring she gave him, if something really happens, Xuanyuan Fengran will still use that black jade ring.

To prove that he was hers.

A Bao felt a little happy.

But Xie Wuai suddenly said in horror: "Royal sister! Could it be that I have been deceived?!"

A Bao smiled and shook his head, "No, that black jade ring is indeed a token of love between me and Uncle Feng Ran. If Uncle Feng Ran comes to you for help again with the black jade ring, you just help him."

Thank you, I understand.

But after taking two sips of the mutton soup, he became confused again, "Royal sister, you once said that there was no need to avoid King Feng Ran regarding Bai Yu Jing. Could it be that you really have subdued King Feng Ran, and now he is on our side?"

Conquer Xuanyuan Fengran?

A Bao thought for a moment and said helplessly, "It's still a little short."

She actually wanted to marry Xuanyuan Fengran, but Xuanyuan Fengran inexplicably always kept a subtle distance from her.

He indulged her, but marriage was not included.

"It's just that Uncle Feng Ran is trustworthy."

After hearing this, Xie Wuai felt more confident.

Silently listing King Feng Ran on the alliance list, Xie Wuai turned to talk about another matter, "Royal sister, you ordered Hong Xiu to wait for me at Taihe Gate this morning, is there something going on?"

"It's true." A Bao was worried. "It's been snowing heavily for days. What's the situation outside the palace?"

Xie Wuai thought for a moment and said, "When I entered the palace today, I had not heard the news reported by my subordinates. But over at Xuanshi Palace, the memorial from the prefect of the imperial capital should have arrived."

A Bao naturally knew that there would be memorials in the Xuanshi Hall.

But for the time being, she could not reach her hand into the heavily guarded Xuanshi Hall to read the memorials from court officials and inquire into state affairs under the old emperor's nose.

When A Bao was feeling helpless, Lu Lang happened to come in and the news he brought diverted her attention.

Lu Lang said happily, "Just now when I was escorting Doctor Zhang back to the Imperial Medical Office, I happened to hear a few chattering palace maids saying that the prince of Jiangnan presented the answer to that question."

A Bao remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Yunzheng was the last one to hand in the sealed answer.

Unexpectedly, in this new life, Xiao Yunzheng was more confident than before and was the first to submit an answer.

I just don’t know what the answer Xiao Yunzheng gave is.

A Bao suddenly remembered that Xiao Yunzheng asked her that day whether her favorite thing was a kite.

What if Xiao Yunzheng really bet right and got half the winning rate?

Thinking of this, A Bao asked Xie Wuai, who was immersed in mutton soup, "You came from Taihe Gate. Did you see the carriage of the Xiao Mansion? Who were there? Where is the carriage of the Zhenxi Palace? Where is the carriage of the Pingyue Palace?"

Xie Wuai spread his hands and shrugged, "I didn't notice."

A Bao was speechless: "..."

Hong Xiu, who was standing by, heard this and replied, "When I was waiting for Young Marquis Xie at Taihe Gate, I actually saw many royal relatives and princes who came to the banquet at the Summer Palace.

"The Crown Prince of Jiangnan, the Crown Prince of Zhenxi, and the Crown Prince of Pingyue... those people on your red list, Your Highness, are all present at the banquet at the Yihe Palace tonight."

Ah Bao frowned and asked curiously, "Xiao Jingyue is not here?"

Hong Xiu said confidently, "Miss Xiao is not here. The prince of Jiangnan came alone."

A Bao thought to himself that Concubine Wen really cared about her niece Xiao Jingyue.

Some time ago, Concubine Wen said that she wanted to help Xiao Jingyue find a good husband. Logically speaking, tonight's banquet at the Summer Palace would be a great occasion for her to show up.

Why didn't Xiao Jingyue enter the palace?
