The woman made sure it wasn't a royal child, so she snorted, "who is this brat? How dare he make trouble here? Where are the maids? Drive him out! The empress is about to come back. If he disturbs her, what punishment will he get?"
The woman who was talking to her immediately pulled her sleeve and said, "those who are able to enter the Imperial Palace should be the children of the family of the ministers, and their status should not be low. You don't want..."
"I'm his Majesty's concubine. I was offended by an official's child. Can't I teach him a lesson?" she interrupted. Then she pointed at the kid and ordered, "guards, take the kid away. Don't let him stand in our way."
"What did you say, Beauty Yuan?" An indifferent voice came through, but it sounded very powerful.
The crowd hurried to get out of the way, and saw the empress standing at the door of the Wei Yang Palace. The empress had a glance at Beauty Yuan indifferently, with her brows slightly wrinkled. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Beauty Yuan was also a concubine in the imperial household, but she was a weak woman. As soon as she saw the empress, she felt her legs weak and fell to her knees. "The child was rampaging in the Wei Yang Palace. I was almost knocked down by him. Afraid that he would offend the empress, I asked the maids to take him out and find a place to settle down." "Huh." The empress smiled coldly. She glanced at Beauty Yuan, and looked at the child standing in front of her. It was then that her face softened a little. She waved at the child and said, "come here to grandma, Yunxi."
The little boy looked up at the empress and walked silently towards the empress. He looked up at the empress, with tears in his eyes. He stood there for a moment, biting his lips and whispering, "grandma."
Hearing this, Beauty Yuan crooked her half kneeling body to one side. The thick make-up could not cover her pale face.
"Why did Yunxi get out of bed? Did the babysitter follow you? " The empress held his little hand and asked softly.
After a moment's silence, Xia Yunxi said clearly, "I heard from a maid that today is Grandma's birthday. I wanted to celebrate for you, but she didn't allow me to get out of bed, so I sneaked over."
Hearing this, the empress turned around and ordered her servants, "go and get the babysitter." Then she held his hand and led him inside the palace.
"Today is my birthday, and blood is not allowed to appear here. Take Beauty Yuan away first." The empress said lightly, but she didn't stop for a moment.
Yun Shang, Ning Qian and Lady Yun hurried to greet the empress when they heard that she was back, but they saw the scene. Yun Shang stared at the little boy for a moment and then looked away. The empress had already arrived at the door. The three people curtsied, "Your Majesty, Congratulations on your birthday!"
The empress stopped. She looked around the three ladies. At last, her eyes were fixed on Yun Shang. "The emperor talked about Lady Rui a few days ago. You seem to love and care about the people. Thank you for your help."
Yun Shang hurriedly answered, "when I passed by that city, I have done something within my ability. I don't deserve the empress' compliments, the materials and herbs that the emperor had ordered have helped a lot, and saved many people's lives."
The empress smiled, "you are being modest, Lady Rui." After a moment's reflection, she continued, "I will go into the inner palace and take off the court robe. Please help me take care of the young boy, lest someone blind offend him, Lady Rui."
Yun Shang heard her words and frowned. She didn't understand what the empress was planning, so she agreed, "as you wish."
The empress bowed her head and smiled at Xia Yunxi. "You have to call her auntie, Yunxi. I'll change my clothes. And would you like to have a seat with auntie here?"
Raising his head to take a look at Yun Shang and then at the empress, the boy kept silent for a while before he nodded and said obediently, "okay."
