But these words were spoken to the queen.

Upon hearing this, the queen also looked up at Qingying.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked closely, but now that I looked closely, I discovered that the other party was indeed more calm than when she entered the palace just after her marriage.

Even in front of the Empress Dowager, he did not show any fear.

"It's all thanks to the Queen Mother's blessing. I dare not take any credit for it."

After he finished speaking, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Is the Queen Mother testing me with these words?

Similar to yourself?

You're talking about ruthless and cruel methods.

Although the queen's expression showed nothing, she was already racking her brains with several thoughts.

"Zhuxi, go and get the reward I prepared for my concubine."

The Queen Mother seemed completely unaware of the Queen's turbulent thoughts and spoke again.

After a while, Sun Zhuxi came up to Qingying with a silver tray in his hand and said, "Concubine."

Qingying stood up and turned around, and saw a hairpin on the silver plate.

"This is the jade hairpin with a lotus pattern inlaid with green jade that Empress Xiaozhuang Wen gave me after I gave birth to the emperor. The color is younger and just right for Qingying's age. I give it to you today."

Qingying had no intention of refusing.

She took it and knelt down, "Yes, I thank the Queen Mother for her gift."

"Yes, you have a straightforward personality. Get up."

After receiving the reward, the empress dowager had no intention of saying anything more. She said she wanted to worship Buddha and had the two of them sent out.

There was no conversation along the way, and when we returned to Jingren Palace, nearly an hour had passed.

The Queen was too lazy to meet a prince's daughter, so when she entered the main hall, she said, "Qingying, you can go and meet Jin yourself, and then take her back to the palace."

Qingying thought for a moment, then said, "Aunt, Qingying dares to ask you to leave Yongji with you for a few days. The palace will never be peaceful, and I am always worried."

The queen was stunned when she heard this.

She originally thought that what Qingying said before was just a few polite words.

But who would have thought that before leaving, the other party actually intended to leave the child in Jingren Palace.

However, with a slight turn of his eyes, he understood Qingying's meaning.

"Are you worried that when you withdraw your previous actions, you might alert the enemy?"

"Aunt, the only people I really need right now are Xiuxia and Suoxin. With the busy affairs of the mansion and the new arrival, I'm afraid they won't be able to really spare any time. So, I'll have to trouble you to help me look after Yongji for a few days."

The Queen had no intention of refusing.

He immediately nodded and said, "That's fine. Let Yongji live in the palace first. When you are free in a few days, you can go to the palace to pick him up. This way, the emperor can see Yongji often. It will only benefit the child."

"Yes, Qingying thanks you aunt."

"Forget it, go ahead. I'm sure Jin is already impatient waiting."

"Yes."

After leaving the main hall, Qingying felt relieved.

The Queen's Jingren Palace is truly like an iron barrel.

Moreover, the other party has comprehensive means, and keeping the child with her is the safest option.

Holding Xiuxia, they walked to the side hall door. Huichun came forward and said, "Greetings to Concubine Fujin."

"Excuse me, is Jin in there?"

"Concubine, Princess Jing is waiting in the palace. Please come in."

Huichun pushed open the door, Qingying looked up and saw a pretty young woman standing up and looking at her.

Nodding to Huichun, Qingying stepped inside and asked, "Is this Sister Jin?"

The palace maid kneeling beside her gently touched Jin Yuyan, and she finally reacted.

She knelt down hurriedly and said, "I pay my respects to the concubine."

Naturally, others had already made it clear to her who would take her back to the palace today.

It is impossible for there to be any wrong name.

Qingying waved her hand and said, "Forget it, get up. I happen to be in the palace today. Sister Jin will follow me back to the palace later. Of course, we can only meet the prince and his wife when we return to the palace."

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of Concubine Fujin."

Qingying walked to the side and sat down. "Sister Jin, you came all the way from the Li Dynasty and it was very hard. Did you only bring this one personal maid with you?"

"The Celestial Empire has its own rules, and I dare not transgress them."
