My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

late at night.

Cining Palace.

There was still a faint candlelight in the bedroom.

After seeing the Queen off, Nanny Li went straight into the bedroom.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Li Ma without any expression.

But no words were spoken.

Instead, he continued to turn the Buddhist beads in his hand.

After closing the door, Nanny Li respectfully approached the old Buddha and said, "Old Buddha, the Empress has gone home."

The old lady nodded while turning the Buddhist beads.

She moved her body back and leaned leisurely on the couch.

"My health is getting worse and worse." The old lady's eyes suddenly shifted to Li Ma Ma. "I feel sore all over. Please give me a good massage."

After hearing this, Nanny Li hurried forward to the side of the Empress Dowager.

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Master Buddha, I have already given the order to do what you asked me to do."

"Well," the old Buddha continued, "this matter must be arranged properly, and the emperor must not be found out."

Nanny Li asked, "Old Buddha, are you sure you won't tell His Majesty for now? I think... this matter is of great importance. Should we tell His Majesty first?"

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply and then quickly shook her head. "No need. Don't tell anyone for now. The Emperor's mind is completely focused on Xiang Fei right now. We absolutely cannot tell him without any solid evidence. If we tell him now, it will only make us mother and son enemies."

After hearing what the old lady said, Nanny Li felt that what the old lady said was very true, so she squatted beside her master patiently and continued to massage her master.

However, at this moment, Nanny Li suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Old Buddha, I think it's normal for you not to tell His Majesty, but why didn't you tell the Empress and Concubine Ling?"

The old lady looked at Nanny Li and smiled, then her expression became serious again.

After placing the Buddhist beads on the table, the Empress Dowager spoke word by word, "The Empress' personality is completely different now. She's no longer as decisive as before. Instead, she's become increasingly weak and defers to the Emperor in everything. And Concubine Ling is even worse. She's always listened to the Emperor, not to mention that she has to take care of the little princess and the little prince, so she can't get away at all."

"That……"

When Nanny Li saw that the old lady was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted by the old lady.

The old man spoke again, "Have the people you sent out returned? Did they bring back any news?"

At this moment, Nanny Li suddenly stood up and walked outside.

Then he opened the door and looked outside cautiously.

After making sure that there was no one outside, she quickly returned to Mr. Lafayette.

"The people we sent out have returned." Nanny Li lowered her voice. "They said that after Master Erkang and Master Ertai escorted the people who performed the ritual out of the palace, they took a carriage directly to a restaurant called Huibinlou."

After hearing what Nanny Li said, the Empress Dowager's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The old Buddha snorted coldly and said, "Is there nothing unusual?"

Nanny Li looked at the old lady and replied, "Old Lady, if it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't notice anything unusual. But the people we've sent out now are trained. How could they not notice anything unusual?"

The Empress Dowager nodded to Nanny Li with satisfaction.

Then Nanny Li tactfully approached the Empress Dowager.

He told the old man everything that was said without missing a word.

The old man sighed deeply and said, "These kids are getting bolder and bolder. Now they even dare to do something like this. I wonder what even more outrageous things they will do next time."

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Madam Li couldn't help but persuade her. "They are at the age of full vigor and vitality, and the exact situation hasn't been fully investigated yet. Why are you so angry?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Nanny Li with a serious tone, "That being said, the fact that they brought someone into the palace is already a serious crime." The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and then said, "The person who went to the Huibin Building with them must have connections to Baoyue Building."

Nanny Li continued, "My Lord, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the reception hall, and I have also sent someone to follow the coachman."

"well done!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This is all thanks to your good teaching." Nanny Li's words were like honey, instantly putting Your Majesty in a good mood. "By the way, Your Majesty, I have another piece of good news to tell you. You will definitely be even happier after hearing it."

At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly looked at Nanny Li with half-belief and half-doubt. Could there be any good news in the palace that she didn't know about?

Even if she really didn't know.

The Queen and Concubine Ling had already told me the first thing they did.

It’s not Li Ma’s turn to tell me.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager hadn't spoken yet, Nanny Li pretended to be mysterious and said, "Empress Dowager, this matter is about the Fifth Prince and Princess Xinrong. Do you really not know what happened between them?"

When the Empress Dowager heard that this was about Yongqi and Xinrong.

She became even more interested.

She looked at Matron Li curiously and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense, or I'll punish you."

Nanny Li replied respectfully, "I heard that the Fifth Prince is planning to ask His Majesty for marriage in a few days. It seems that there will be another happy event in our palace."

After hearing this, the old lady nodded slightly and said, "Okay, okay, tomorrow you will go to the Censorate and the Xiao Mansion to inform them to let Xinrong and Qing'er go to the palace together."

"Yes, Lafayette."

the next day.

Nanny Li left the palace early in the morning to do some business.

Xiao Mansion.

Qing'er was walking in the yard with a bulging belly. When she was about to go into the room to rest, she happened to see the servant bringing in Li Ma.

Qing'er walked towards Madam Li with a smile on her face. "Madam Li, what brings you here today? How come you have time to come to the Xiao Mansion today?"

"Good luck, Princess Qing." Nanny Li bowed to Princess Qing and then her eyes fell on Princess Qing's belly. "I haven't seen you for a long time, Princess Qing. Your belly seems to have grown a lot."

Qing'er nodded and gently stroked her belly. "Yes, my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it's becoming more and more inconvenient for me to move around. I haven't been to the Cining Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager recently. Does the Empress Dowager blame me?"

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Qingge, you're too kind. You're the Empress Dowager's darling. She knows you're pregnant and having trouble moving around. How could she possibly blame you?"

"That's good. You've finally come to the Xiao Mansion, so please don't be polite. Come in and have a seat with me." Qing'er said as she took Nanny Li's arm and walked towards the hall. "Nanny Li, are you here today because the Empress Dowager wants you to bring me a message?"

Madam Li looked at Princess Qing and said, "Princess Qing, I won't go in to sit down. In fact, the Empress Dowager just asked me to come over to tell you to come into the palace and have lunch with the Empress Dowager."

Qing'er quickly agreed.

However, just as she was about to speak, Nanny Li suddenly said, "Princess Qing, I've already notified Hero Xiao. He will come to the palace after lunch to accompany you back to the Xiao Mansion."

When Qing'er heard what Li Ma'am said, her face immediately turned red.
