Chapter 1384: Sixth Aunt-in-Law’s Mourning_4

Ji Youyuan then spoke up.

Outside, the steward came to report, saying that the palace had sent someone to fetch Suisui.

Everyone looked at Ji Youze with confusion.

“Is something happening in the palace? Why send someone to fetch Suisui at this time?”

Ji Youze’s face turned very unpleasant upon hearing this.

“In a couple of days, it’s the Crown Prince’s enthronement ceremony, and His Majesty must be bringing Suisui to the palace because of this event!”

“What does the Crown Prince’s enthronement have to do with our Suisui? Why take her to the palace?”

Ji Youze’s expression became one of mixed emotions upon hearing this.

Could he say that those who had been unable to hold back had already set their sights on the future position of the Crown Princess the moment the Crown Prince was established?

Even more detestable was the Emperor, who had set his sights on his family’s little Xiaosuisui!!!

Xiaosuisui really didn’t want to enter the palace, but the Emperor was lord, and the Ji Family was his ministers. Without considering herself, she always had to consider the Ji Family, so she followed the people who came.

Upon entering the palace and stepping into Cining Palace, she saw Xie Pan’Er wrapped in a hulking fur cloak. Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but blink, blink again, and dashed to Xie Pan’Er’s side, grabbing her wrist, “Pretty Auntie, are you becoming a mom again?”

Xie Pan’Er blinked, “You little imp, how could you see through everything? How did your tiny eyes discern this?”

She merely wished to surprise her with the news, not expecting it to be noticed directly!

“Who am I? I’m the personal disciple of the Divine Physician Ji, the little Divine Physician Ji, of course, I could see it!”

Xiaosuisui haughtily raised her little chin, her expression proud.

“Alright, alright, you’re the most remarkable!

Xie Pan’Er pinched her little nose and picked her up.

The Empress Dowager Xia looked over and hurriedly stopped her.

“You are with child, you mustn’t carry her, quickly put her down.”

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager Xia, Xie Pan’Er quickly put Xiaosuisui down.

However, just as she put Xiaosuisui down, the Empress Dowager Xia snatched her up, holding her in her arms and planting several big kisses.

“What has my sweet little darling been doing at home these days? Is your grandmother well?”

“Grandmother’s condition is unstable, I feel she’s been worse than before.”

The Empress Dowager Xia sighed upon hearing this.

“Alas, everyone eventually faces such a day. I am old now, and will also have such a day in the future. Darling, will you then stay in the palace to accompany Grandma?”

Xiaosuisui involuntarily blinked upon hearing this. She wanted very much to firmly and loudly tell the Empress Dowager Xia “Yes”!

However, she knew deep down she wouldn’t live to see that day!

“Grandma will not have such a day, your fortune runs deep!”

Those days must be incredibly hard to bear, right?

She could not bear to watch.

“Exactly! Your fortune runs deep, such a day will never come, do not scare yourself. Come, darling, Auntie had them make rock sugar trotters, let’s go to the dining hall to eat!”

After eating the trotters, Xiaosuisui wanted to leave the palace, but the Empress Dowager Xia would not allow it, “I’ve had the hardest time having you brought to the palace, how could you think of leaving right after having some trotters? Stay a few more days!”

“Grandma! The little sister inside Pretty Auntie’s belly is very well-behaved! I don’t need to stay here to bring harmony, but my Sixth Aunt is due in two months, she’s the one who needs me to bring harmony!”

Upon this remark from Xiaosuisui, the Empress Dowager Xia had yet to process it when she heard Xie Pan’Er ask, “Is there something wrong with your Sixth Aunt’s pregnancy?”

Xiaosuisui pulled a long face.

“My Sixth Aunt’s pregnancy is fine, but seeing her complexion lately, there’s a hint of mourning.”

“Ah! How could that be? Sixth Sister-in-law’s family is simple; her parents are still young, and her brother is yet to marry, who could it fall upon?”

Even though Xie Pan’Er was the Empress, she spent considerable time with the Ji Family and knew of Huo Xing’Er’s prowess, Yun Kuo’s ability, not to mention the National Master in the court!

So she naturally understood what Xiaosuisui’s words implied!

“It’s a mystery that cannot be unveiled, Xiaosuisui must do nothing, and say nothing more. Pretty Auntie, if there’s no major event, could you refrain from summoning me to the palace?”

“Absolutely! But for the Crown Prince’s enthronement ceremony in a few days, being the Princess, you can’t skip it!”

Xie Pan’Er replied.

“Oh! Then I will attend the Dinner Banquet. I will not attend the enthronement in the Great Hall. I can neither kneel nor speak freely, and should anything go awry at the ceremony, it would be bad if I spoke out of turn.”
