Chapter 566

It is said to be grand. In fact, it means that all people related to the royal family are invited to the palace for a reunion dinner. Moreover, because everyone has to keep the year old on New Year's Eve, the day of the Palace Banquet is set on the day before New Year's Eve, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Du Xiaoli and Han Mingyi went to the palace early.

At this time, the emperor was still busy in the imperial study and would not pass until before the banquet.

Du Xiaoli heard this and thought that there was such a diligent emperor. Even without the policies she put forward, Fengming country would be strong sooner or later.

On the way to the Queen's palace with Xia yuan and Yingge, she saw a maid sneaking through the imperial garden, quickly sneaking into a distant door and disappearing.

She recognized that it seemed to be a girl in imperial concubine Yi's palace.

This is the palace leading to the queen. The banquet is about to begin. She is not on duty in front of imperial concubine Yi. What are you doing here?

Although Du Xiaoli felt suspicious, he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the palace, and he just saw a palace maid. Maybe he came here to have something to do.

On this thought, she put the scene behind her.

"See the princess." the eunuchs and maids in the Queen's palace saluted Du Xiaoli.

"Please inform the queen and say that the princess asked for an audience." Du Xiaoli said to the eunuch guarding the gate of the hall.

A eunuch went in and soon came out and said, "the queen invites the princess in."

When Du Xiaoli went in, she saw the queen playing with the prince and two princesses. She remembered that the two princesses seemed to be a concubine. The queen never spent much time with them before. Today is a busy time. How can she take it with her?

"See the empress." Du Xiaoli blessed her slightly.

The queen looked at Du Xiaoli and said with a smile, "get up quickly. What else should you pay attention to when you come to the palace. Heng'er, please say hello to Aunt Huang."

"Heng'er has seen Aunt Huang." the prince came to Du Xiaoli to say hello, and the two princesses followed him.

"Get up quickly." Du Xiaoli nodded.

The prince has grown up a lot than before. Knowing that his life was saved by Du Xiaoli, he has always been close to her. In the past, when he came to the palace, he would come to greet her whenever he was free.

"Xiaoli, you came to the palace early today. I was wondering if you would come directly when the banquet began!" the queen said with a smile, "don't stand fast and give a seat."

A maid in waiting brought a chair and placed it not far from her at the Queen's sign.

Du Xiaoli sat down and said, "Mingyi said he had something to discuss with the emperor and would enter the palace earlier. I thought he was coming, so I followed him and didn't bother to send other carriages."

"You and Dingwang are really in love. I'm afraid the whole Fengming country can't find a husband and wife like you." the queen joked with a smile.

But she smiled, but a trace of loss flashed on her face.

"Don't embarrass me, Queen." Du Xiaoli said with a smile. Then he looked at the two princesses and asked, "the banquet is about to begin. Why are the two princesses still here?"

"They two --" the queen waved to them, and the two princesses ran to the queen. The queen took the cake on the table and handed it to them, and then asked the prince to take them aside to play.

"My palace has been suffering from typhoid fever since the winter, and I haven't been able to manage the affairs of the palace. So I asked the emperor for an order to let imperial concubine Yi organize the Palace Banquet. Imperial concubine Fang Shu was led by imperial concubine Yi to organize the banquet. Now the banquet is about to begin, and she was asked to work. My body can't help me, so I said to take care of her The queen coughed twice with her handkerchief in her mouth.

"The Queen's Phoenix body is not safe. Why don't I show you?" Du Xiaoli said, looking at the Queen's spirit.

"Don't bother." the queen waved her hand and said, "the imperial doctor has seen it and prescribed the medicine. He said that it is estimated that the cold entered the body accidentally and hurt the internal organs, so it will recover slowly. I'm sorry to bother you every time I have something."

Du Xiaoli saw that the queen didn't want to, so he stopped insisting. They talked for a while. A palace maid came in, blessed her body and said, "madam, the Empress Dowager sent aunt tea to ask the princess to come over."

"Although the palace still wants to talk to you, since the Queen's grandmother let you go, the Palace won't keep you. Otherwise, the palace can't afford to annoy the Queen's grandmother." the queen said with a smile.

Du Xiaoli got up, blessed the queen and said, "that Xiaoli is gone."

"Let's go. Anyway, we'll meet at the party later." the queen smiled at Du Xiaoli and watched her leave. The smile on her face faded slowly. Her eyes turned to the two little princesses playing with the prince and said, "look at them. They are our trumps today."

"I understand," said an old woman.

Du Xiaoli came out and saw red tea. After two words, they went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

After leaving the Queen's palace, she looked back and saw the whole palace maids and eunuchs coming in and out. Her eyes sank when she thought of the two little princesses and the maid she had seen before. "Princess, but something has fallen?" aunt tea called out in some doubt when she saw Du Xiaoli stop. Du Xiaoli smiled and said, "no, let's go." everyone has their own way of life. Some things have nothing to do with herself, so she'd better be a bystander. When she went to the Forbidden Palace, Du Xiaoli thought it would be the same as usual. Unexpectedly, she heard a burst of crying as soon as she went in. When she entered the hall, she saw that Ji Liuxia and Fu Yalan had come with their children. The Empress Dowager was teasing him with Dudu. "Grandma Huang, hold Dudu and be careful that he pees on you." Du Xiaoli blessed the Empress Dowager and said with a smile. "Here comes girl Li. The child was young before and hasn't been brought into the palace. Today is the first time I saw their child. I hugged her when I looked cute." the Empress Dowager motioned Fu Yalan to take the child. "This is also Dudu's blessing. She is loved by the Empress Dowager when she is so young." Ji Liuxia said with a smile. "The girl in your family may be a strange master in the future." the Empress Dowager looked at Qu Xinyi moving restlessly in her mother's arms and said with a smile. "By the way, go and bring the pair of hollowed out gold bracelets and the Hetian jade pendant." "yes, master." Menggu went out and came back with two boxes in a moment. The Empress Dowager took the box and looked nostalgically. Then she gave the bracelet to Qu Xinyi and the jade pendant to Dudu.
