Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Chapter 57 Yunxi and the Prince Go to Yongshou Palace

As night fell and the lights came on, the entire Prince's Eastern Palace was shrouded in silence.

Yunxi, as usual, gently helped the prince to sleep.

She studied the prince's face carefully, watching him gradually fall asleep, his breathing steady and even.

Only after making sure that the prince had fallen asleep peacefully did Yunxi slowly stand up, her movements so gentle as if she was afraid of waking the sleeping prince.

Then she left the bedroom quietly and silently.

As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom door, Yunxi saw Xiaowan coming towards him.

Xiao Wan said to Yunxi happily with a smile on her face: "Sister Yunxi, Concubine Ye has been banished to the cold palace. You can rest assured now, right?"

Hearing Xiaowan's words, Yunxi nodded slightly in response. However, her beautiful face did not show much joy, but instead revealed a hint of worry.

"Although Concubine Ye has received the punishment she deserved and was banished to the cold palace, the palace struggles are unpredictable and we still can't take it lightly." Yunxi said softly, her tone full of vigilance and worry.

She was well aware of the complexity and cruelty of court life, and that a small negligence could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Xiaowan nodded, understanding Yunxi's concerns. She knew that in this deep palace, she had to be alert at all times, and she would fall into endless trouble if she was not careful.

Yunxi looked up at the night sky and sighed inwardly. Although she had lived in the palace for many years, she still felt helpless about the struggle for power and the wickedness of people. She only hoped that she could protect the prince and let him grow up safely.

"We must continue to be cautious and not let down our guard at all." Yunxi reminded Xiaowan again, with a determined light in her eyes. She decided to protect the prince more attentively and shield him from all possible dangers.

She understood that the days ahead were long and they would face more and more challenges...

Xiaowan nodded, knowing that Yunxi's worries were not unreasonable. The power struggle in the palace never stopped, and if one was not careful, one could end up in an irretrievable situation.

"However, this time, thanks to Sister Yunxi's quick response, Ye Cairen got the punishment he deserved." Xiaowan looked at Yunxi with admiration.

Yunxi smiled and said, "This is not just my achievement. You also made a lot of contributions by reminding me to ask the Queen Mother for help. But..." She paused and continued, "We can't take it lightly. We must always be vigilant."

The two walked and talked until they came to the courtyard. The night sky was full of twinkling stars and the breeze was blowing, bringing a slight coolness.

"The palace life may seem prosperous, but it is actually full of countless dangers and challenges." Yunxi looked at the starry sky, feeling filled with emotion.

Xiaowan listened quietly, and a feeling of admiration welled up in her heart. She knew that Sister Yunxi was not only outstanding in appearance, but also had a smart mind and extraordinary insight.

"Sister Yunxi, I will study harder in the future and help you protect the Eastern Palace." Xiaowan said firmly.

Yunxi patted Xiaowan's shoulder with relief, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes. "I feel at ease with a sister like you by my side. I hope we can weather the ups and downs of the palace together."

After saying this, the two of them looked up at the night sky together, silently praying that the days ahead would be peaceful and tranquil.

Early the next morning, sunlight streamed into the house through the window lattices, filling the air with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

Yunxi gently woke up the prince, carefully helped him wash up, and then placed the exquisite breakfast on the table.

After the prince sat down, Yunxi whispered softly, "Your Highness, you haven't been to Yongshou Palace to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager for a long time. Would you like to go and visit her today?" Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, and her eyes were full of concern and expectation.

The prince was slightly startled after hearing Yunxi's words, then smiled and said, "Mrs. Yang is right. I haven't been to Yongshou Palace to pay my respects to my parents for many days. And the cakes there are so delicious that I can't forget them."

After saying this, the prince seemed to remember those sweet and delicious snacks, and a hint of greed appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When Yunxi heard the prince's answer, she laughed in her heart, thinking that the prince was still a child after all.

Yunxi knew that her proposal was approved, so she hurriedly prepared everything and accompanied the prince to Yongshou Palace.

Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, and Xiaowan and a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded them, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. And in this warm and cheerful atmosphere, a new story is about to unfold...
