Chapter 1387: Set Off_2

Yunxiang’s voice trembled, and she was overwhelmed with discomfort.

Originally, she was just a timid little palace maid in this palace. Although there were not many masters in the palace, just the Empress Dowager Xiao as the only female master of the harem, they were simply maids doing miscellaneous chores, often bullied by others. Until Chief Eunuch Ling was selecting maids for Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe in the palace, because no one was willing to go, for who knew what kind of life awaited outside the palace, she volunteered to go. She went willingly, because she knew that even if she didn’t volunteer, she would continue to be bullied in the palace given the old nanny she had offended.

So she discussed it with Yun Duo and then went,

But it was this decision that completely changed the lives of the two sisters.

Now she was a favored confidante beside the Empress in the palace.

And Yun Duo at the Ji Family, lived a life of having anything she wanted, and all of this was because of her, Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe!

“Your Highness! It’s cold outside, let’s go back!”

Though it was already the season of the February spring breeze, their hearts couldn’t warm up.

At night, the Emperor, Xie Pan’Er, and Princess Lianchun had dinner at Cining Palace, while the Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t stop smiling, personally serving Xiaosuisui with dishes.

They say there’s no affection in the royal family, but that’s not true. Look at the royal family of the Great Han, they can live in harmony.

But Empress Dowager Xiao also knew that all this was because Xiaosuisui lived in this palace.

Just as Xiaosuisui was gnawing on a pork knuckle, her chopsticks suddenly paused, and she glanced at the Emperor who was helping Empress Dowager Xiao and Xie Pan’Er with the soup, and giggled, saying, “Father Emperor! How about you come to Grandma’s place for dinner every day afterward?”

The Emperor, hearing this, responded without thinking, “Alright, alright! As long as you stay here in the palace safely and soundly, your Father Emperor and your beautiful Auntie will accompany you at Grandma’s place for dinner every day!”

Hearing this, Xiaosuisui blinked and quickly shook her head, saying, “Suisui doesn’t want Father Emperor and beautiful Auntie to accompany Suisui for dinner here every day. Suisui means that henceforth, every day Father Emperor and beautiful Auntie come here to accompany Grandma for dinner!”

Father Emperor was slightly taken aback by these words.

However, before he could speak, Xie Pan’Er said, “Alright! From now on, we’ll have dinner here! Be good, Suisui, eat more. These small cucumbers, they’re crispy, grown in a greenhouse by the palace florist, there are only a few of them, your Grandma cherishes you, so let us all give them to you!”

While speaking, Xie Pan’Er picked up two small segments of cucumber strips for her, repeatedly advising, “Don’t always eat meat, it’s not good for the stomach!”

After having a hearty dinner, Xiaosuisui snuggled into the arms of Empress Dowager Xiao.

“Grandma! Suisui has to go on a long journey!”

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao’s body stiffened; the day had finally come.

“When will you return?”

She didn’t ask where to.

But Empress Dowager Xiao vaguely guessed, her precious darling was probably…

“I don’t ask for a return date!”

She hugged Empress Dowager Xiao’s neck.

“Suisui will bless Grandma, Grandma still has a long life of happiness, Grandma must take care, if you miss Suisui, just look at the stars in the sky!”

“Nonsense…” Empress Dowager Xiao murmured.

“Grandma! Suisui means, when you miss Suisui, just think of Suisui as the stars in the sky, no matter where Suisui is, she will always illuminate your heart. Grandma, Suisui will be at every corner of this world, bringing blessings to the people!”

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore and started crying while holding Xiaosuisui.

“Grandma, don’t cry, it’s not good for your health. Grandma, in Suisui’s heart, you are the best, best Grandma!”

Empress Dowager Xiao held her tightly, her teardrops fell like beads from a broken string, large and numerous.

“Suisui! My little darling, I can’t bear to part with you!”

“Grandma shouldn’t be reluctant, in the future, the sister from beautiful Auntie’s belly will be just like Suisui, she’ll be by Grandma’s side every day!”

Xiaosuisui tried to comfort Empress Dowager Xiao for a whole hour before she cried herself to sleep.

Outside Cining Palace, Princess Lianchun was waiting.

“Auntie!”

“From now on, no matter where you are, I will follow you closely. My eyes will never leave you!”

Princess Lianchun pointed to her eyes, indicating that Xiaosuisui’s every move would not escape her sight.
