Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace

Daliang of Wei State

When the Queen Mother learned about the Queen and the Crown Prince, she hurried back. The Emperor, accompanied by the princes, princesses, and many concubines, were waiting to welcome him at the palace gate.

A luxurious carriage slowly stopped, and the emperor and everyone else came forward to greet it.

The first person to come out of the carriage was an old lady who looked graceful and elegant, embodying the royal honor and nobility. Two maids hurriedly helped the Queen Mother down.

"Mother, you are back. I am here with the prince and princess to pay my respects to you."

"Your Majesty, if I don't come back, you will forget me."

"My son, I am always thinking about my mother."

"Mother, let me introduce you to the third princess, Wei Lingxue."

The Queen Mother looked at Xi Lingxue carefully. She was dressed in complicated palace attire, and her figure was agile. Her calm demeanor made her look even more light and agile.

"Xue'er, meet the Imperial Grandmother."

"Well, smart girl, you must have suffered a lot outside for so many years! It's good to go home."

"Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern. Xue'er has not suffered much under the protection of Master and Senior Brother."

"She was destined to be rich and noble, but she was born in a difficult situation. Fortunately, she returned home safely. Otherwise, my Wei Kingdom would have lost a noble princess."

"Mother, you are exhausted from the journey. I will accompany you back to the palace to rest. We will have a family dinner tonight to welcome you back."

"I am tired after sitting in the car all the way, let's go back to the palace."

"Yes."

"Invite the Second Prince and the Princess to the family dinner tonight. How can we have a family dinner without a grandson?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother, hesitant to speak, "Mother..."

"I want to see my grandson, but the emperor won't agree to it? The queen has been punished for her stupid actions, and you have abolished the crown prince. You should let it go. He was still young at the time and had no idea what his mother had done."

"My son, I obey your orders."

"You all should go back! The Queen Mother must be tired from the journey, so please come and pay your respects tomorrow."

"Yes"

Xi Lingxue looked at the eldest prince and raised her eyebrows. The eldest prince shook his head at her.

"Brother, why do I feel that the Queen Mother's return is the Second Prince's amulet?"

"It's possible, but it's also for her own sake. You will know her meaning later."

"It looks like the palace is going to be busy."

"The drama in the palace has been going on all the time, but you just can't see it. It looks calm, but in fact, undercurrents are surging, and all parties are watching."

"There are several forces in the palace."

"There are at least three forces, and there may be more."

"It looks like we're going to be watching a show soon."

"I have never been idle. From the deposed empress to the crown prince and then to the empress dowager, they played different roles."

"Brother, you are lucky. With so many people caring about you, you are still safe and sound. I really admire you."

“I am also very grateful for my ability to survive.”

The emperor sent the empress dowager to Yongshou Palace, chatted with her for a while and then left.

As soon as he left, the fourth princess came pitifully and knelt beside her legs crying.

"Grandmother, you are finally back. Your granddaughter missed you so much."

"Yao'er, get up quickly. Tell the Imperial Grandmother who bullied you."

"Grandmother, our mother is gone, and our father has confined my brother to his palace. Yao'er has become a lonely and helpless person. You have to make the decision for Yao'er."

"Who bullied you."

"Third sister, ever since returning to the palace and being favored by our father, she has been bullying Yao'er no matter what the occasion is, and has not given Yao'er any chance to survive."

"Too presumptuous. Just because your father loves you, does that mean you can do whatever you want? Tomorrow, your grandmother will teach her the rules."

"Thank you, Grandmother, for taking care of Yao'er."

"Your brother is also coming to the family dinner tonight. From now on, with the Royal Grandmother here, no one will bully you."

"It's still the Imperial Grandmother who loves Yao'er the most."

"Go back and dress up for the family dinner tonight."

"Yes, granddaughter, take your leave."

The nanny saw the Fourth Princess leave and looked at the Queen Mother, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"What do you want to say?"

"Queen Mother, why are you helping the Fourth Princess? The Third Princess is the most favored now. What if you..."

"How dare he turn against me?"

"The Emperor is so filial to you, how could he possibly disobey you?"

"Since I am not his biological mother, why should he not dare?"

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor certainly won't do that."

"Who knows what people think? My own son and grandson would kneel down and kowtow to him when they see him. I feel uncomfortable watching this."

"Queen Mother, this is a done deal. If things get out of hand with the Emperor, Prince Xuan will be in danger as well."

"If he dares to touch my son, I can help him to the throne, and I can also pull him down from the throne."

"Queen Mother, the Emperor has held power for many years. It is very difficult to take it back now. In the end, both sides will suffer. It is better to let nature take its course."

"Ai Jia, my son and grandson are equally good, why should I bow down to them?"

"The road to succession is fraught with dangers. Don't you worry about the safety of Prince Xuan and the Crown Prince?"

"How can my sons be afraid of death? Besides, I am here to protect them. I have been busy in the palace for the past two or three years."

"With Ai's power and Prince Xuan's influence, the Second Prince will be dragged out to disrupt the situation. Soon the entire palace will be in chaos. Only when there is chaos will there be a chance."

"Queen, what if..."

"Nothing unexpected."

The nanny was so frightened by the empress dowager's sharp eyes that she dared not speak.

"The Concubine Chen is the only one favored in the entire palace. Send a message to King Xuan and order him to send a girl to the palace."

"Yes."

Second Prince's Mansion

When the second prince received the family banquet, he was immediately delighted.

"Princess Consort, your guess is correct. When the Royal Grandmother returns, she will rescue me from this mansion. It seems that I will have to go to Yongshou Palace more often in the future to strengthen our relationship as grandparents and grandchildren."

"Second Prince, don't be too happy too soon. The Queen Mother also has her own plans. After all, the Emperor is not her biological son, but Prince Xuan is. If she wants to use you to achieve her own goals, you'd better be careful."

"This prince knows that wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If you do nothing, you will not be favored by your father. It is better to do something big and the winner will be the king and the loser will be the enemy."

"Your father sent you a thousand assassins just to let me do something big. If I succeed, your Song Kingdom will also get a share of the spoils. You will still be the queen, and the two countries will be closely related and inseparable in the future."

"I understand what father means, but we still have to be careful. Your father has sent people to monitor every move in the mansion. If he catches you, you really won't be able to see your child grow up."

The second prince gently stroked the princess's slightly bulging belly.

"Don't worry! This prince will make you the queen and he will be the crown prince. We must go all the way to the end. If we don't succeed, we will die."

"Okay, my concubine, I believe you, and the child in my belly also believes you."

Lin Yi walked in, and immediately went back to the door when he saw his master and the princess flirting with each other.

"Lin Yi, what's the matter?"

"Master, the guards around the third princess are former assassins of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"It seems that the death of my mother and uncle is closely related to that yellow-haired girl."

"I didn't expect that someone so small could do such a big thing. It's incredible."

"The autumn hunt will start in two days. Since she loves to show off, she will definitely participate. Then send more people to kill her. I want to see how powerful her martial arts is. One against ten is fine, but can one against a hundred be good?"

"Second Prince, don't be impulsive. After the New Year, it will be her birthday. Emissaries from various countries will come, and my brother is among them. My brother's martial arts will be even better, so we will have a better chance of winning when the time comes."

"Let this prince think about it."

At the family dinner in the evening, the emperor and the empress dowager sat in the main seats, with the princes and princesses on one side and the princes and princesses on the other.

King Xuan brought Princess Xuan and Prince He to the main hall, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and to the Queen Mother."

"King Xuan, excuse me."

"Grandmother, you are finally back. Your grandson missed you so much."

"Grandmother misses Xiao'er too. When will you find a granddaughter-in-law for her?"

"My grandson is waiting for the royal grandmother to come back and make the decision."

"That's great. The Empress Dowager will find you a girl tomorrow."

"Grandson, it's all up to the Imperial Grandmother."

The Queen Mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and the whole banquet hall was filled with her laughter.
