New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

When Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei saw that the Queen liked them, they both called her sweetly in unison.

Shu Yuan felt very happy after hearing this. Although she didn't have her own children at the moment, all the children in the palace had to respectfully call her "Empress Mother". She was also very great.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know where you were going to arrange for Concubine He and Xiaoyanzi to rest, so I didn't clean the palace in advance. Now that you are back, you can arrange it." When the Empress Dowager thought about this, she mentioned it to the Emperor.

Hongli thought about the East and West Palaces, then said, "Then let's give Chengqian Palace to Yuhe. If the two children want to have a place to stay when they grow up, then let's give Shufangzhai to them."

After hearing the emperor's words, although the old Buddha and others looked a little strange, they didn't say much.

After all, Chengqian Palace had been vacant for a long time, and Shufangzhai was located in a remote area. Logically, the emperor should have given them a better assignment, but since the emperor made such arrangements, they did not say much.

"Ahem, okay, I'm glad I'm back. Let's all go back and rest. Let's have dinner together at the Cining Palace tonight."

Seeing that everything had been said, the old Buddha spoke a little tiredly, and everyone responded in unison.

Hongli asked Xiao Zhihang and his wife to go back and rest first, and Xiaoyanzi stayed in the palace with Ziwei and the others. He asked Xia Yuhe to take the children back to the Qianqing Palace with him first, while he arranged for people to go to Chengqian Palace to clean up.

Chengqian Palace is one of the Six Eastern Palaces. Many imperial concubines had lived there in the past. However, due to the lack of suitable concubines to move in, Chengqian Palace had been idle for a long time. Now, it finally welcomed its owner.

No one knew why, but when Hongli thought of allocating accommodation for his children, the first thing that came to his mind was Shufangzhai. Seeing that the two children had no objection, he decided to make Shufangzhai their future home.

The Empress Dowager and others returned to their respective palaces in sedan chairs, while Hongli took Xia Yuhe and her mother and daughter back to the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin looked at Xiao Yanzi reluctantly, and saw her being pulled inside by Xia Yuhe. They met Xia Yuhe's reassured eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yuhe was taking care of her in the palace.

Xiaoyanzi said goodbye to her parents, and then looked at the crowd. She inexplicably remembered that in her previous life, when she came to pick up the old Buddha, there was also such a big scene. As a result, because the emperor didn't allow her to come to greet him, she came secretly. The last set of "Purple Air Coming from the East" caused a lot of chaos...

Ziwei seemed to have remembered that incident as well and couldn't help but cover her lips and smile.

Xiaoyanzi saw what she was laughing at and couldn't help but secretly scratch her palm, but there was still a look of nostalgia on her face.

That memory is so profound and unforgettable.

------

Chengqian Palace.

When Xia Yuhe, her mother and her two daughters were led by palace maids to Chengqian Palace, they saw at a glance several blooming cherry trees in the yard. The pink and white cherry trees swayed in the wind, looking very beautiful.

The Qianqing Palace is very large. At the front is a spacious courtyard with a swing and cherry trees. After passing the corridor, there are three rooms in the middle: a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms.

On the left is a small kitchen, on the right is a firewood room and servants' room, and in the remote right corner is a toilet...

At this time, there were a group of palace maids and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace.

There were two maids, one to serve and the other to clean the place.

There were also six palace maids, two chief eunuchs and twelve junior eunuchs.

They were all sent by the Emperor to serve Concubine He and the two little princesses.

Xiaoyanzi's personal maid Hongshu and Ziwei's substitute maid Jinsuo were also screened and entered the palace to accompany them.

Before Xia Yuhe entered the palace, she also had her own personal maid named Lulu, who had been with her since she was a child. She also followed her into the palace and became one of her closest people.

At this time, the maids saw their new master coming and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

"Your servant/your servant kowtows to Her Majesty the He Consort, may Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand years. I pay my respects to My Princess Huanzhu, My Princess Mingzhu, may Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand years."

Although Xia Yuhe was a rich lady, she had never seen so many people kneeling down to pay their respects to her, and she was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

But she still forced herself to nod, and said calmly, "Everyone, get up, take us back to the house to rest first."

Xiaoyanzi had been a princess in her previous life and had some experience, so she didn't feel anything. However, Ziwei felt a little embarrassed and unaccustomed to it.

The head housekeeper was sent by the Empress Dowager, not for surveillance, but mainly to teach Xia Yuhe and her daughter some palace rules and serve as a reminder.

After all, in a few months, Xia Yuhe and her two children will participate in the ceremony to worship the gods.

The housekeeper, Nanny Wu, whose real name was Wu You, was sent to Chengqian Palace. When she saw that the new master was so beautiful and had two lovely children, she was very happy and made up her mind that as long as the new master was easy to get along with, she would work hard.

She first waved her hand, signaling the other palace maids and eunuchs to go to work, and then she stepped forward to lead the way.

"Please follow me, Madam Hefei and the two little princesses."

Xia Yuhe looked at the kind-faced and slightly plump nanny in front of her, and felt relieved that she seemed easy to get along with. She followed her with her two children, one on each side, and listened to her introduction of the layout of Chengqian Palace.

When the maid Lulu came to the palace, she became the head aunt of Xia Yuhe, but she did not have enough experience now and needed to study hard to become a mature head aunt.

Xiao Hongshu and Xiao Jinsuo are almost the same age as their master. The two little guys are also delicate and cute. They follow their master closely, carrying small bags in their hands.

After some introduction by Nanny Wu, Xia Yuhe and the other two had a general understanding of the layout of Chengqian Palace, so they didn't pay much attention to it. They were so tired from the long journey that they didn't even want to eat lunch.

The three of them simply washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

Xia Yuhe slept in the master bedroom, and the two children slept on the left and right in the second bedroom next to it. Of course, most of the time, the two of them slept in the same room.

Nanny Wu originally thought that a three-year-old child would be quite noisy. It was said that Princess Huanzhu's parents were outside the palace, and the emperor adopted her as his daughter just because he liked her. She originally thought that the child would cry all the time because she missed her parents.

Unexpectedly, the two children were so well-behaved. They washed their faces by themselves when you handed them a towel, and changed their clothes by themselves when you gave them clothes. Then, after washing their feet, they lay on the bed and closed their eyes to sleep. They were so well-behaved the whole time and their words were very sweet.

The voice calling "Mammy" was so sweet that she felt as if she had eaten a pound of sugar and felt very happy.

When Nanny Wu You saw the two little princesses sleeping so soundly, she made up her mind to arrange two clever and well-behaved little palace maids to serve them. Otherwise, what would happen if such well-behaved princesses were bullied?

She glanced at the two little kids lying in the corner. It was said that they were the princess' personal maids. One was named Hongshu and the other was named Jinsuo. She couldn't help but complain in her heart. What crappy names were they. They didn't sound nice at all. They were worse than the names she had given herself.

Afterwards, she went out to find the six palace maids and picked out two with cute looks and nice names to serve the princess.

"Hongdou, Ludou, you two should learn how to take care of children. Tomorrow, I will recommend you to serve the two little princesses. You must be smart and don't bump into the little princesses. Do you hear me?"
