Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 358 The Queen invites you
It was almost lunch time. Even though the foreign envoys had left the palace, the officials in the palace still had the pleasure of eating the food from the imperial kitchen. This opportunity did not come often.

There are the New Year's greeting banquet held to celebrate with the emperor, the Deer Singing Banquet held for the new candidates, the Qionglin Banquet held for the new Jinshi, and so on.

No matter what kind of palace banquet it is, it is an honor for the officials who can attend it, reflecting their political status and identity.

However, for Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang, this was not something worth being happy about because they felt uncomfortable.

In fact, it's not impossible for the two of them to eat casually and relaxedly like usual, but things are different now.

Kaiyang reminded himself in his heart to eat properly. He was not afraid of being laughed at by others for his poor eating and sitting manners, but he did mind others saying that his mother did not teach him well.

Moreover, I don’t want others to laugh at my grandfather and father.

Hong Xiaoduo actually had the same idea.

She also knew what Kaiyang was thinking. She was very pleased but also distressed. If the child had not returned to the Wei Mansion but had always followed her, she was not sure how he would grow up, but his childhood would definitely be happier if he was free and unrestrained!
"You don't have to be so restrained later. You are just a child anyway, and important officials like them shouldn't be so rude as to laugh at you." While waiting for the meal, Hong Xiaoduo whispered to Kaiyang.

Kai Yang had just nodded when he saw a eunuch talking to Eunuch Fu at the palace gate. Eunuch Fu turned around and looked at him and Hong Xiaoduo. Then, Eunuch Fu returned to the emperor's side and said something, and the emperor also looked over.

"Miss Hong, the Queen has sent someone to invite you to have lunch at Fengyi Palace. Go ahead." The emperor said to Hong Xiaoduo with a smile.

Empress? All the adults in the palace looked at the emperor. Empress Gao had been released from the cold palace, and the emperor had ordered the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to choose an auspicious day to restore the Empress's status as Emperor and Empress. The auspicious day had been chosen, and it was September 16, half a month later.

However, she was originally the queen, and was framed and wrongly accused. Now that the truth has been uncovered, even if her position as empress has not been officially restored, there is nothing inappropriate for the emperor to call her the queen now.

Besides, even if there was something wrong, who among those present would dare to stand up and correct it?

Those who reacted quickly understood what was going on and why the Queen invited Hong Xiaoduo to have lunch together in Fengyi Palace. If it weren't for this young lady Hong, the Queen would still be staying in the cold palace. Even if the poisoning was discovered, it would probably be too late to save her.

In this case, Miss Hong can be considered the Queen's benefactor.

At this time, Hong Xiaoduo looked at Kaiyang hesitantly. Before she could speak, the emperor said again: "Take Wei Kaiyang with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Hong Xiaoduo heard that she could take Kaiyang with her, she immediately thanked him and asked Kaiyang to leave with the people from Fengyi Palace.

Looking at the two figures walking out of the palace gate, the emperor muttered in his heart that he had seen people from the martial arts world before, but she was the only one who did not regard herself as an emperor.

She just thanked His Majesty. Humph, if he didn't take the initiative to ask Kaiyang to go together, she would have asked. If he didn't agree to her, the emperor thought she would reject the queen's love. She is definitely capable of doing this!
The emperor himself didn’t know why, but he just knew!
The person who came to invite people was Eunuch Kang from the Queen's Palace, who was about thirty years old.

Because Hong Xiaoduo insisted on not riding in the sedan chair brought by Eunuch Kang, on the grounds that she could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the palace by walking, Eunuch Kang introduced it along the way and said that the scenery in the garden of Fengyi Palace was better. Hong Xiaoduo said that she was enjoying the scenery along the way, but her pace was not slow enough to enjoy the scenery. Even if she had a favor to the Queen and was not afraid of her status, she would not really stroll around to enjoy the scenery. She would let the Queen wait. She was not crazy.

"The one beside Your Majesty is called Eunuch Fu, and you are called Eunuch Kang. Are there also Eunuch An and Eunuch Shou?" Hong Xiaoduo asked jokingly.

Eunuch Kang smiled and said, "My dear Miss Hong, there is indeed an Eunuch An, who is serving the Queen Mother. As far as I know, there is no Eunuch Shou."

While chatting and laughing, they arrived at Fengyi Palace. As they got closer, they met more and more palace maids along the way.

"Your Majesty, Miss Hong and Minister Wei's grandson Wei Kaiyang have arrived." Eunuch Kang reported outside the palace gate.

Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help wondering in her heart, would she hear the Queen telling them to come in? Or would a palace maid or eunuch come out and welcome her and Kaiyang in?

As a result, the next moment, a noble yet gentle woman walked out, followed closely by palace maids and nannies.

"I, Hong Xiaoduo, greet the Queen. I wish the Queen a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years of life." Hong Xiaoduo clasped her fists and bowed to Queen Gao.

"I, Wei Kaiyang, am here to greet Her Majesty the Queen. I wish Her Majesty a thousand years of longevity." Kaiyang followed suit.

Empress Gao looked at the two people in front of her, one big and one small, and then her eyes fell on Hong Xiaoduo: "You are the one who saved me, Hong Xiaoduo. I bow to you, my benefactor."

As soon as she finished speaking, the queen lifted up her skirt and was about to kneel.

Fortunately, Hong Xiaoduo reacted quickly and stretched out her hands to stop it: "Queen, please don't do this. I can't bear it." She said she was going to bow, but why did she have to kneel down?
"If it weren't for you, I would still be in the cold palace, covered in dirt. I might have died of poisoning. How could I not bear it?" The queen said with red eyes.

Having been in the cold palace for seven years, she has gone from initial expectation to loss and waiting for death slowly!
She was unwilling, but time slowly wore away her, from the initial expectation to the disappointment, numbness and waiting for death!
However, she did not expect that she was not destined to die. She was taken out of the cold palace by the emperor without any warning, and the truth of that year was found out. It was also at that time that she learned that she had given birth to a prince, not a princess.

All of this is because of the girl in front of me.

"Don't be sad, Queen. The worst days are over. From now on, we will have good days. Moreover, I have also accepted the remuneration given by the Emperor. So, Queen, don't feel that you owe me any favor." Hong Xiaoduo comforted the Queen who was a little agitated.

"Your Majesty, please go in and talk. It's windy outside." Eunuch Kang also quickly spoke up to persuade her.

Eunuch Kang was actually hinting to the Queen that she was outside and if she had anything to say, she could come in and talk slowly!

"Yes, Queen, let's go in and talk. When will the food be served? On the way here, we were still guessing. We didn't know what delicious food the Queen had prepared." Hong Xiaoduo said while joking, deliberately making the atmosphere a little more relaxed...
