Xie Ying sat speechlessly on the Arhat bed, with a look of despair on her chubby face.

[Alas, the downside to being good-looking is that it makes you a potential thug.]

Situ Yuan was speechless. How could his mother become a hooligan? She just liked little kids.

But thinking back to the eldest princess's crazy look, he felt a little guilty: Well, mother is a little too reckless.

After the eldest princess changed her clothes, she personally led Situ Yuan into the carriage.

Xie Ying was held by Ms. Zhou, but after getting on the carriage, the eldest princess couldn't help but take her over, holding her in her arms lovingly and letting her sit on her lap.

Xie Ying was well-behaved and played the role of a good baby throughout the whole process.

The carriage quickly entered the palace.

The eldest princess first took the two children to Renshou Palace to meet the empress dowager.

Xie Ying felt a surge of anticipation at the thought that she would soon be able to meet the Queen Mother.

Coincidentally, when they arrived, Concubine Li and the little prince were at the Empress Dowager's place.

The empress dowager's surname was Zhao, but Xie Ying didn't know her specific name.

As the biological mother of Emperor Taihe, she attached great importance to his offspring. When she found out that Li was pregnant, she took her to Renshou Palace and carefully protected her, fearing that something might happen to the child in her belly.

Unfortunately, when Li was eight months pregnant, Queen Dowager Zhao suddenly fell ill, and this time the illness was so severe that it took Queen Dowager Zhao a long time to recover.

After she fell ill, rumors spread in the palace that the child in Li's belly was incompatible with her.

So, Empress Chen personally took Li to Fengyi Palace.

It was not until Li gave birth to the second prince that Concubine Jiang's prince suddenly died, leaving the second prince as the only child.

Queen Mother Zhao was worried that her only child would die again, so she took the mother and child to Renshou Palace and kept them under strict protection.

From then on, the mother and son stayed in Renshou Palace. Except for paying respects to Queen Mother Zhao every day, they never went out.

Xie Ying learned all this from Situ Yuan.

She also knew that every time Concubine Li and her son came to pay their respects, they would not stay too long with Queen Dowager Zhao.

After all, Queen Mother Zhao had once been seriously ill, and therefore there were rumors of conflict in the palace.

If Concubine Li wasn't stupid, she wouldn't have been able to keep her son around in front of Queen Dowager Zhao all day long. Otherwise, if Queen Dowager Zhao fell ill again, wouldn't it be their fault?

So the question is, why did Li Jieyu stay so long today?

Xie Ying glanced at the eldest princess calmly.

She didn't think the eldest princess would choose to come when Concubine Li was around. After all, Concubine Li was raising the only little prince in the palace, and the little prince was frail and sickly.

In the past, Situ Yuan's health was even worse than the little prince's, but he has recovered a lot now and looks no different from a normal child.

If Concubine Li saw this, wouldn't it be very annoying?

The eldest princess can't be so stupid.

It could only be that Concubine Li stayed too long today, causing the princess to misjudge the time and run into her as soon as she arrived.

But they were already at the door and couldn't just turn around and leave.

Queen Mother Zhao was also inside, but the eldest princess didn't go in to pay her respects and just turned around and left. This was extremely unfilial.

Sure enough, the eldest princess frowned, then quickly relaxed her brows, as if nothing had happened.

After the palace maid reported the matter, she quickly came out and invited them in with a polite look on her face.

So the eldest princess took Situ Yuan's hand, and Lady Zhou held Xie Ying in her arms, and they walked in quickly.

Xie Ying relied on her young age and looked around curiously with her eyes wide open.

I have to say, this palace is really beautiful.

The carved railings and painted buildings are extremely gorgeous.

Although the mansion given to her by the eldest princess was also decorated with carved railings and painted buildings, the people living in it were different after all, so the specifications were naturally much different.

In ancient times, classes were clearly defined. If one’s status was not high enough, even food, clothing and other expenses were strictly restricted and could not be exceeded.

This is Renshou Palace, where the Empress Dowager lives, so naturally everything here is the best.
