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

The two palace maids called Red Bean and Green Bean looked at each other helplessly. The names given to them by Nanny Wu were really ugly.

However, a higher-ranking official can crush people, since she is the managing nanny.

The two of them smiled and knelt down in greeting, saying, "Yes, I will remember that."

Seeing how well-behaved and obedient they were, Nanny Wu was very satisfied. She had already decided that when Concubine He woke up, she would recommend these two girls to serve the princess.

It was a bit of a pity for the other palace maids who were not chosen. If they could become the personal maids of the empress or princess, they would have earned a lot more money. Alas, it was such a pity.

------

Because the masters were resting, the palace maids and eunuchs were carefully cleaning the palace, and they also counted the gold, silver, treasures and precious gifts bestowed by the emperor today and put them into the warehouse.

It was not until the sun began to set that noises were heard from the masters' houses.

Nanny Wu and Lulu were standing at the door, carrying clothes and wash basins, waiting for their master to get ready and dress up.

Outside Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's room, Hongdou and Ludou had been waiting for a long time. Although Concubine He had not yet decided to let them serve, the little princesses would have dinner with the Empress Dowager in the evening, so they would definitely have to dress up when they woke up.

Nanny Wu arranged for them to come and serve.

When the sun set, Xia Yuhe changed out of her clothes outside the palace and put on the Manchu dress unique to concubines. She was dressed in a pink and yellow dress with a Manchu headband. She was dressed very dignified and steady. Her face was lightly powdered, which made her skin look fair and beautiful. She looked delicate and pretty. However, the pelvic-soled shoes on her feet made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately, before returning to the palace, the emperor had considered the issue of pelvic shoes in advance, and asked her to wear pelvic shoes in advance to adapt to the rules when she was learning the rules. Although wearing these very high pelvic shoes is not very comfortable now, it is still within the tolerable range.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were also changed into princess costumes, which were prepared by the Queen long ago. After all, she had known that Concubine He and the little princess would be returning to the palace soon, so all the necessary clothes and jewelry had to be prepared in advance.

Xiaoyanzi changed into a bright red and blue Manchu dress and wore a small Manchu headband on her head. Because she was too young, she didn't wear ottomans, but embroidered shoes instead.

Ziwei, like her, was wearing a pink and purple Manchu dress and a pair of cute small embroidered shoes.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Yuhe took the two children to the Cining Palace.

Behind him was a long line of palace maids and eunuchs.

Nanny Wu supported Xia Yuhe to prevent her from spraining her ankle when walking on the uneven road.

Xia Yuhe also knew that there were many cobblestone roads in the palace, so she was not arrogant and walked carefully with the support of Nanny Wu. She felt that this way, although she looked good, was too tiring.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei ran around in the garden without any worries, but thinking that they were now in the palace, they did not dare to run around. They just ran in front talking and laughing, and soon stopped, holding hands, pretending to be dignified and steady.

They had just entered the palace and didn't want to do anything to embarrass their mother. If they offended some noble, it would be bad if it implicated their mother.

When the group arrived at the Cining Palace, they saw the Queen and others had just arrived.

The three of them bowed and greeted him quickly.

Shu Yuan first gave Xia Yuhe a virtual support, then looked at her carefully, secretly admiring in his heart that she was worthy of being the woman that the emperor had come all the way to pick up, she was indeed very beautiful.

Then, she smiled and said, "Sister Yuhe has returned to the palace. Just treat it as home. No need to be polite."

Xia Yuhe smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen. Yuhe will remember this."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei called the ladies in baby voices, which made them feel very happy.

When Wei Qinglan saw the two cute little girls, his eyes were filled with joy. He stroked his belly and said with a smile, "It would be great if the baby in my belly was a girl. She would definitely be as delicate and pretty as the two little princesses."

Xiaoyanzi almost blurted out that Concubine Ling was carrying a little princess, or even a ninth princess, but luckily she held it in. She smiled and replied, "Then Concubine Ling, please look at us more often. Who knows, after looking at us so cutely for so long, maybe the baby in your belly is a delicate and beautiful little sister? If not a little sister, then maybe it's a cute little brother."

After hearing Xiaoyanzi's childish talk, Concubine Ling and others couldn't help but burst into laughter. They thought this child was really interesting.

Concubine Yu was pulling Yongqi over here. When she heard the noise, she couldn't help but join in the fun. "I heard the laughter from a distance. What are you talking about?"

When Shu Yuan saw Concubine Yu coming, she smiled and repeated what Xiao Yanzi had just said, which also amused Concubine Yu and Yong Qi.

Ziwei secretly observed and felt that at present, the relationship between these concubines seemed to be pretty good. Then why did the queen become so bad later?

She thought about it and roughly understood that 80% of the reasons that can turn a woman into a shrew are men's problems.

Thinking of the Emperor's nature of falling in love with every woman he met, Ziwei silently worried for her mother. She just hoped that her mother would not fall too deeply in love. Otherwise, if she invested her feelings and didn't get enough response in the end, she would really become a resentful woman.

But how should she remind her mother?

"Alright, alright, let's go in quickly. I think Mr. Buddha must be waiting anxiously."

Shu Yuan and the others smiled and went into the Cining Palace together.

Xia Yuhe pursed her lips, followed the crowd, and pulled Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi in together.

At this time, the emperor had not arrived yet, and the Empress Dowager was resting in the inner room. When she heard the noise coming from outside, she walked to the main seat in the living room and sat down, looking at them lovingly.

"Everyone is here. Please take a seat first. We will have dinner once everyone has arrived."

After hearing what the old man said, everyone found a place to sit down.

The old lady glanced at Xia Yuhe, who was a little reserved, and pulled her aside to ask a few questions. Seeing that she answered without any mistakes and her expression did not change, it was unknown what she was thinking.

Xia Yuhe was so scared that she broke out in cold sweats.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei sat together, wanting to whisper to each other, but afraid of being noticed, so the two of them huddled to one side like quails.

The more this happens, the more obvious it becomes.

“Those two little quails, oh no, Little Swallow and Ziwei, right? You two, step forward and let me have a good look.”

After asking Xia Yuhe questions, the old lady glanced up and saw two little quails huddled beside her. She couldn't help but smile and asked them to come forward. She accidentally let the cat out of the bag and quickly made amends for it embarrassedly.

The little swallow called the little quail, Ziwei: ???

The two walked forward in confusion. What did Mr. Buddha want to ask them?

"How old are you?"

The old lady asked kindly, with a smile on her face.

"Replying to Lafayette, we are three years old this year!"
