Then, Xiao Xuanchen ordered: "Let them in."

"Yes!"

The imperial eunuch followed Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning and left the Zichen Palace with them.

Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning walked out of the Purple Palace and bowed quickly, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, and Princess Xuanhua."

"Get up! You two are pregnant, so there's no need to be so polite." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, empress."

Both of them had bulging bellies. Princess Xuanhua saw the reluctance on Shen Aoning's face and was very dissatisfied. "Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated you two yet?"

"Congratulations, Princess." Xi Muyao replied.

Princess Xuanhua walked right past them, took Helian Cheng's hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in first."

"Ah."

Xi Muyao sensed Princess Xuanhua's hostility and said quickly, "Your Majesty, we will take our leave first."

"Go!"

Inside the palace, Xiao Xuanchen sat on the dragon throne. Princess Xuanhua and Helian Chen walked up to him and saluted. "Greetings, my brother."

"Get up quickly and let the emperor take a good look at you." Xiao Xuanchen slowly walked down from the top and personally helped Princess Xuanhua up.

"I haven't seen you for three days. I really miss you."

"I miss my brother too." Princess Xuanhua replied with a smile.

At this time, Zheng Xiyan walked in, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Xiao Xuanchen's eyes immediately fell on her, "The Queen is here too."

"It sounds like what my royal brother said means that my royal sister-in-law cannot come to your Zichen Palace." These days, Princess Xuanhua felt more and more that her royal brother was not worthy of her, and she also felt sorry for her.

Xiao Xuanchen's expression changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Who provoked you? Why are you talking to me like this?"

"No one provokes me." Princess Xuanhua looked unhappy.

Zheng Xiyan tugged at her clothes, and the next second she came out to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't you know your own sister?"

"I understand you! You love to make trouble unreasonably." Xiao Xuanchen said with a straight face.

"I'm not being unreasonable," Princess Xuanhua curled her lips and retorted.

Helian Cheng knew what she was angry about, but he was facing His Majesty after all, so he said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Princess..."

"Alright! I know her character better than you. Now that you're married, don't always act like a spoiled brat. Live a good life with your husband and don't let my mother and me worry about you." Xiao Xuanchen scolded.

"I will live a good life with my husband, so my brother should reflect on himself!"

"We still have to go to Shoukang Palace to accompany our mother, so we'll leave first." As soon as Princess Xuanhua finished speaking, she dragged Helian Cheng out of the Purple Palace, "Let's go, let's go."

Helian Chen was in a panic and saluted hastily, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

"This girl is becoming more and more unreasonable." Although Xiao Xuanchen said this, he was not angry.

Zheng Xiyan chuckled, "Your Majesty, don't bother with Xuanhua. She is your sister, and you can only let her be."

"That's true. I only have this one sister and I have to pamper her." Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile.

"Come to think of it, you and Xuanhua get along very well." Xiao Xuanchen said suddenly.

"Yes! I like Xuanhua very much. Xuanhua has a simple mind and treats people sincerely. I get along well with her." Zheng Xiyan replied with a smile.

"She is easy to get along with? This is the first time I hear someone say that she is easy to get along with." When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, he began to doubt whether she was talking about his own sister.

Zheng Xiyan thought to herself, in short, she is easier to get along with than you, "Your Majesty, how can you be so kind as to say this to your own sister? If Xuanhua knew about this, she would definitely quarrel with you again."

Xiao Xuanchen chuckled and said, "You don't understand her."

Zheng Xiyan felt disdainful. Was it that she didn't understand Xuanhua, or that he didn't understand his own sister?

Zheng Xiyan walked forward and saw the chess game that had not yet been completed. "Your Majesty, were you playing chess with Concubine Xi just now?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Xuanchen looked up at her.

Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly, "Shen Zhaorong is not good at chess, so she is not the one who can play chess with Your Majesty."

"It's a pity that this game of chess has not been finished. Why don't you, Queen, accompany me to finish it!" Xiao Xuanchen took Zheng Xiyan's hand and sat down.

Zheng Xiyan refused outright, "Your Majesty! You should wait until Xi Zhaoyi comes to the Purple Palace to play with you next time! I don't want to ruin your game."

When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, his expression was a little awkward, and he didn't want to force her, "Okay!"

Xiao Xuanchen let go of her hand and said in a deep voice, "Why did the Queen come to the Purple Palace today?"

"I came here today because of Concubine Xu."

"Concubine Xu?" For a moment, Xiao Xuanchen really didn't remember her and almost forgot about this person.

Seeing his reaction, Zheng Xiyan knew that he had forgotten Concubine Xu a long time ago. "Your Majesty has not visited Concubine Xu since she had a miscarriage. I thought..."

"Are you blaming me, Queen?" Xiao Xuanchen's face darkened and he looked at her angrily.

"I dare not. Concubine Xu lost her child. I feel..." Before Zheng Xiyan could finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by Xiao Xuanchen.

"I understand what you mean. In order to make it up to her, after Shen Chongyuan gives birth to a child, I will confer the title of Zhaoyuan on Shen Chongyuan and the title of Chongyuan on Xu Jieyu to make it up to her."

Zheng Xiyan had no choice but to say nothing more, "Yes, Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

"Your Majesty has been doting on Lady Li recently. I think it's better for Your Majesty to treat everyone equally. There are many young and beautiful concubines in the palace, and they all look forward to being summoned by Your Majesty."

"What about you?" Xiao Xuanchen's eyes turned slightly and he looked at her with an unclear expression.

"What?" Zheng Xiyan's expression changed slightly and her brows furrowed.

"Are you looking forward to my summons?" Xiao Xuanchen asked.

When Zheng Xiyan heard this, she almost couldn't help but sneer, "Of course I'm looking forward to it."

Xiao Xuanchen couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and chuckled, "In that case, I will go to Weiyang Palace to accompany the Queen tonight, okay?"

Zheng Xiyan thought to herself, he really likes to flatter her, "Yes! I will be waiting for your Majesty to come to Weiyang Palace."

"it is good!"

Xiao Xuanchen stood up and walked towards her. When he came in front of her, he half-closed his eyes and looked at her with a playful expression on his face, and said, "Why don't you stay and accompany me for lunch today, Queen?"

Zheng Xiyan refused without even thinking, "Your Majesty! Ji'er is still waiting for me in Weiyang Palace..."

"There is a wet nurse in Weiyang Palace, so the queen doesn't need to do everything herself." Xiao Xuanchen's other hand had already wrapped around her slender waist, and with a gentle embrace, Zheng Xiyan was in his arms.

Zheng Xiyan forced herself to keep a straight face. She felt uncomfortable all over, but she could only endure it and agreed, "Okay!"

Xiao Xuanchen was smiling, and just as he was about to bend over to kiss her, Zheng Xiyan subconsciously pushed him away and said, "Your Majesty, you still have to take care of government affairs."

"Does the Queen regret this?"
