Eldest daughter

Chapter 447 Entering the Palace to Thank You
The next day, Cui Yuan went to court before dawn, Wang Yuaner went to greet Mrs. Cui after breakfast, and explained that she was going to the palace to thank her.

Mrs. Cui's expression was not salty, and she warned her to be cautious before waving her to go.

Wang Yuan'er put on a lot of make-up according to her taste, and took Chu Ge and Qiu Tang, and Chen Shu drove to the imperial city in person.

When we arrived at the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial Palace, it was the time for all the officials to go down to court. Cui Yuan had already been waiting there. When he saw the mother and son, he went up to greet him. The family of three changed carriages in front of the palace gate and rushed towards the inner city of the imperial palace. .

In two lifetimes, apart from seeing Emperor Jing who was still the prince when he first started selling tea eggs, Wang Yuan'er has never met the emperor, even if he married Cui Yuan, and never had an imperial order.

So this time, it is the first time to see the emperor.

Wang Yuan'er tremblingly hugged Chu Ge and knelt on the ground with Cui Yuan and shouted long live three times.

"Get flat." Emperor Jing smiled and raised his hand while sitting on the dragon chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cui Yuan stretched out his hand to support Wang Yuan'er to stand still, he didn't see Emperor Jing's teasing eyes that raised his eyebrows at all.

"Are you Concubine Qing's sister Wang Shi?" Emperor Jing said, "Raise your head and let me see."

Really knowing the reason, Cui Yuan and Wang Yuan'er both slandered in their hearts at the same time.

But Wang Yuan'er didn't dare not look up, and only slightly raised his head, not daring to look directly at the sky, but instead set his eyes on the desk covered with bright yellow tablecloth embroidered with golden dragons.

"She doesn't look quite like Concubine Qing." Emperor Jing took a look, then looked away, and signaled Hu Gonggong: "Bring the child up and let me have a look."

Eunuch Hu agreed with a smile, walked down the hall, and came to Wang Yuaner: "Mrs. Cui."

Wang Yuan'er immediately let his son go carefully, and saw him holding Chu Ge coming to the emperor, and then raised his eyes to look at the emperor.

Wearing bright yellow embroidered golden dragon casual clothes and a golden crown on his head, but at the age of [-], he has already grown a beard. Although he is just sitting, he has a natural majesty and nobility coming.

Seeing that the emperor personally hugged Chu Ge, Wang Yuaner was taken aback and looked at Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan gave a calm look.

Emperor Jing hugged Chu Ge and looked over, Chu Ge was awake at this time, and he was not afraid of life, and he stared at him, and no one would let anyone else.

Suddenly, Brother Chu reached out and grabbed Emperor Jing's beard.

"Ouch!" Emperor Jing cried out in pain.

Wang Yuaner's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down with Cui Yuan.

"The dog is rude, I beg the emperor to forgive me." Cui Yuan knelt down tremblingly and said.

Wang Yuaner's body trembled slightly.

"You brat, take it easy, you're going to strip off my beard." Emperor Jing laughed loudly, "This kid is really strong, just like you. Back then, you kid, you dared to steal Zhenwei when you were ten years old." The general's hundred-pound sword."

Hearing this tone, he was not angry, Cui Yuan laughed dryly, and said: "The boy is so bold." The tiger plucked the hair on his head.

Wang Yuaner relaxed.

Emperor Jing teased Chu Ge twice more, rewarded a piece of purple jade pendant and a fish-scale sword, and let Wang Yuan'er carry it down again, saying: "Go and ask the queen to rest, and then go to the Palace of Concubine Qing to sit down, she I also miss you, elder sister, very hard."

Wang Yuaner was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Cui Yuan stayed behind and continued to discuss state affairs with the emperor, saying: "I will pick you up later."

Eunuch Hu personally took Wang Yuan'er to the queen's palace to invite An Xie'en.

Cui Yuan's eldest son was received by the emperor, hugged by the emperor for a while, and pulled out the emperor's beard in a "fat" way. The emperor was not only not annoyed, but also rewarded the purple jade and the fish scale sword. This is just a subject. The eldest son, such an honor.

No, the family has not yet left the palace, and it has spread everywhere like the wind.

The Queen naturally also received the news, so when Wang Yuaner arrived, she also took a close look at Brother Chu.

"He is a lucky one. If he grows up healthily, he will be a companion for our Prince Hui in the future." The empress smiled and appreciated the greeting ceremony.

Companion reading?

Prince Hui is the empress's descendant, and his status is beyond words, so if he reads with him, doesn't that mean he should stand by Prince Hui's side since he was a child?
Wang Yuan'er's eyes flashed, and Eunuch Hu was also standing with his hands down, and he only moved his ears when he heard this.

"Thank you for the empress's kindness. Prince Hui has a high status, but he is not talented. I don't know if he will have the blessing to serve you in the future." Wang Yuan'er replied with a faint smile.

The queen's eyes flickered, and the corner of her eye glanced at Eunuch Hu, and she didn't talk about this topic again. She only asked her a few words about the child, and then asked her to go to the palace of Concubine Qing.

"Concubine Qing is also very well-behaved, and her handwriting is getting better and better. The empress dowager likes the scriptures she copied, and she is also blessed. It's just that the little girl's family should go out and walk with her sisters from time to time. She's not in her late teens. Now that you are a human, it is always a matter of praying and paying homage to the Buddha." The queen said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er was slightly startled, but her face remained calm, and she said: "Follow the Queen's instructions."

"Well, step back!" The empress waved her hand.

After bidding farewell to the queen, Wang Yuan'er came to the palace where Wang Qing'er is now - Qingxi Palace.

In front of the palace gate, there was a beautiful woman in a palace costume who was standing there looking forward to the hand of a palace man. Seeing the appearance of Wang Yuaner's mother and son, she took two steps forward and said in a choked voice, "Elder Sister."

Isn't it Wang Qing'er?
Wang Yuan'er's eyes turned red, and she hurried forward with her son in her arms, bent her knees to kneel: "Your Majesty."

Wang Qing'er quickly supported her, choked with sobs and said, "Eldest sister, you and my sister are not polite."

"Courtesy cannot be discarded." Wang Yuan'er's eyes were red.

"Hurry up, go in and talk, it's raining, and it's a bit chilly." Wang Qing'er personally supported her hand and walked into the store.

The two sisters entered the palace, and after the palace servants served tea, Wang Qing'er couldn't wait to look at the quilt in her arms: "Sister, is this our first brother?"

Wang Yuan'er nodded with a smile, and went forward to hand the child in her arms: "Look, it's your nephew."

She handed the child over to her, but Wang Qing'er didn't reach out to pick it up, she just stretched her neck to look at it.

Wang Yuaner was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Wang Qinger dumbfounded.

Wang Qing'er didn't realize it, she just looked at Brother Chu, and said very strangely: "Eldest sister, he looks really good, he looks like brother-in-law. Eldest sister..."

She raised her head, met Wang Yuaner's gaze, and was slightly taken aback, but she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Ma'am, you..."

"Wow." Brother Chu suddenly burst into tears, which diverted the attention of both sisters.

Wang Yuan'er watched him licking his little mouth, and could not stop hugging her, and couldn't help smiling: "This kid is hungry."

It had been two or three hours since he went from home to the palace, and he should have been hungry by now.

"Big sister, come with me." Wang Qing'er heard this and pulled Wang Yuan'er to the inner hall.

Sitting on the beauty's couch in Wang Qing'er's inner hall, Wang Yuan'er unbuttoned his clothes, and the boy smelled the fragrance of milk all at once, and stomped over like a piglet.

Wang Qing'er was very surprised to see it, and said with a smile: "This kid knows everything." After a pause, he asked: "Elder sister, you nursed him yourself? Did you not hire a nanny?"

"Of course there are. How can I feed it alone? Your brother-in-law originally said to be fed by a nanny, but I just can't bear it. I should kiss the baby I fed myself." Wang Yuan'er smiled, thinking of what happened just now, her eyes narrowed, and her eyes tightened. Looking closely at Wang Qing'er: "Qing'er, are you..."

Her eyes fell on Wang Qing'er's lower abdomen, and her hands trembled slightly.

Will it be what she thinks?

Qing'er didn't hug Brother Chu, her own sister knew that she definitely didn't look down on her family because of being a nobleman, there was probably only one reason.

Wang Qing'er's cheeks were slightly red, she put her hands on her abdomen, and whispered: "You can't hide anything from Eldest Sister."

Wang Yuan'er was overjoyed immediately, and said, "Really? It's been a few months? Why haven't you heard any good news?"

Cui Yuan is also an official in the court, so there is no reason why the news of Wang Qing'er's happiness has not been spread.

"Eldest sister, it will take two more days to secure March, I kept it from myself." Wang Qing'er felt helpless and heavy.

Wang Yuan'er was very surprised when she heard that, and thought of the child she didn't have last year, so she quickly shook her hand and asked, "Your situation is so difficult? Your Majesty, don't you know? How can you hide it?"

"In the first two months, I wanted to fast and pray for the Empress Dowager, so I didn't go to bed. He didn't come to me for many days. In the third month, when he came, he just sat around and didn't go to bed." Wang Qing'er said: "There are too many women in this palace, how could he pay attention to it?"

The desolation and loneliness in her words made Wang Yuan'er feel sore, and she held her hand even harder: "I'm sorry for you."

Wang Yuan'er shook her head, and said lightly: "I chose the road myself, no matter how hard it is, I have to grit my teeth and go on." She rubbed her belly again and said: "His (her) brother and sister, I was naive and stupid back then. , I didn’t keep it, I will try my best to keep it.”

Wang Yuan'er was naturally aware of the dangers and filth in the palace, so she nodded and said, "The most important thing is to protect yourself."

"Elder sister, don't worry, I'm no longer the ignorant country girl. Whoever harmed our mother and son, I know in my heart that they must pay with blood." A stern look flashed in Wang Qing'er's eyes.

Wang Yuan'er looked straight at it, and was a little startled. The younger sister in front of her, who was dressed in palace attire and had high temples, was no longer the innocent and savage girl in a flowered jacket and braided braids.

After experiencing the pain of losing a child, and experiencing betrayal, she is growing at a rapid pace, and she already has faint prestige and ruthlessness as an imperial concubine.

In this palace, kindness cannot survive, but Wang Yuan'er is not willing to watch her lose herself completely.

"Qing'er, listen to me, you have the means to protect yourself, but you can't have the heart to harm others. If you have revenge, if you have resentment, you must not harm the innocent. If you lose your original intention, how will you survive? Your Majesty After all, it is the emperor, what does he not know? If you lose the emperor's heart, you will never stand up again."

"Eldest sister, don't worry, whoever owes me a debt, I will naturally ask for it. If someone does not offend me, I will not offend him. If someone deceives me, I will pay it back a hundred times." Wang Qing'er's eyes flashed a sharp ruthlessness.

Wang Yuan'er opened her mouth, but suddenly she was at a loss for words. She had no position to persuade, and she couldn't. In the palace, you are kind to the enemy, but you are cruel to yourself. How can she persuade her?
Furthermore, she is also selfish, she only wants her sister to live a good life, that's enough.
