The mighty princess of rebirth

Chapter 18 Greeting the Empress Dowager
Outside the gate of the palace, in order to welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace, Emperor Zhengxi brought a group of concubines, princes and princesses, and ministers of the court to wait here.

Soon, I heard the sound of horseshoes from far and near.

When the luxurious carriage slowly stopped outside the palace gate, a young girl helped Empress Dowager Li get off the carriage.

"Welcome the empress dowager back to the palace, the empress is a thousand years old!"

Emperor Zhengxi congratulated the Queen Mother together with all the people, and knelt down to salute.

Empress Dowager Li smiled with satisfaction, looking at the crowd of people kneeling in front of her, feeling complacent.

"Stay flat!" Empress Dowager Li slightly raised her hand.

"Thank you Queen Mother!" Everyone thanked before standing up.

"Chu Yue to the emperor, and the empress, please greet me." Princess Huiqing hurriedly stepped forward to greet Emperor Zhengxi and the empress.

"The princess is free!" Emperor Zhengxi said gently and authentically.

"I have met the eldest princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Princess Huiqing then turned to Princess Ronghua and Yang Zhao and curtseyed.

"You don't have to be polite!" Princess Ronghua smiled faintly.

Yang Zhao glanced at his sister, but remained silent.

Emperor Zhengxi and others greeted Empress Dowager Li and entered the palace, and all the officials dispersed.

After Empress Dowager Li washed and changed her clothes, Emperor Zhengxi asked someone to hold a family banquet in Linde Hall.

"The sons and ministers respectfully wish the Empress Dowager Songhe Changchun, and the future blessings are boundless." Emperor Zhengxi raised his glass to pray to the Empress Dowager Li.

"The emperor has a heart!" Queen Mother Li responded with a smile.She didn't even want to call the queen mother to Emperor Zhengxi, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't show it.

Therefore, the princes and princesses came out to pay their respects to Queen Mother Li one by one.

"Granddaughter Chengyu pays her respects to the imperial grandmother!" Princess Ronghua saluted with a smile.

"You are Yu'er?" Empress Dowager Li looked indifferent.

"Exactly!" Princess Ronghua nodded in agreement.

"Okay! She looks just like your mother, she is a pretty girl." Queen Mother Li smiled slightly, with a perfunctory tone, and gave Princess Ronghua a meeting gift.

"Grandmother Xie" Princess Ronghua took the gift, returned to her seat and sat down.

"Grandson pays respects to the emperor's grandmother, and may the emperor's grandmother be in good health." Yang Zhao respectfully saluted and bowed.

"Azhao is so old!" When Empress Dowager Li saw Yang Zhao, she thought of King Wu's two sons again.

Empress Dowager Li felt emotional, and called Yang Zhao to her, lovingly touched his face, and asked Mammy Wang to take a prepared gift box and hand it to the prince's servant, Sun Wenjin.

"Thank you, Grandmother!" Yang Zhao stepped back gratefully.

After all the princes and princesses greeted the Empress Dowager Li one by one, Emperor Zhengxi let the banquet open.

Princess Ronghua looked at Princess Huiqing who was sitting on the lower head of Empress Dowager Li with an unpredictable expression.

She still underestimated King Wu's family, thinking that after going to Wuxing County, she would behave with her tail between her legs.Unexpectedly, there is still the idea of ​​making waves.

Princess Ronghua looked at Emperor Zhengxi again, feeling that her father was too tolerant.

But he should be in trouble too, right?One is his biological mother, and the other is his younger brother. He can't both die, can he?
Thinking of this, Princess Ronghua deeply felt that Emperor Zhengxi was very pitiful.

After the banquet, Princess Ronghua returned to Huaqing Palace.

"Princess, these were sent by Princess Huiqing." Luo Ruyi pointed to the red lacquered wooden tray carried by the palace guard behind.

Princess Ronghua only glanced at them briefly, seeing that they were special products and small items that her daughter liked, she didn't say anything, and waved her hand to let Luo Ruyi take the points.

At night, Princess Huiqing Mochizuki meditated.

Empress Dowager Li once jokingly asked her what kind of man she likes, and Qin Lie's figure appeared in her mind at that time.

Such a heroic man, at the moment when he danced his sword on the stage, he has captured the hearts of many girls.

Unfortunately, she inquired about it later.Qin Lie was just Princess Ronghua's bodyguard, without a family background to rely on, his future was bleak.She stopped thinking then.

Princess Huiqing did not forget the intention of her father and mother concubine to keep her in Bianjing. She is destined to be unable to decide her own marriage.

"Princess, the bed is ready, let's go to bed early!" Fu Rong came from behind at this time, persuading her softly.

Princess Huiqing nodded, and when she turned around, she looked back at the night sky. Tonight, she only confides her thoughts to the moon god, and she can only bear the bitterness or sweetness in the future.

The next day, Princess Ronghua went to Yanying Hall after breakfast.

If she remembered correctly, today was Li Ruen's entry into the palace to report to the assassin.

"Greetings to the eldest princess!" Xiao Lizi, who was guarding outside the hall, saluted and greeted Princess Ronghua.

"This palace has something to ask to see the father." Princess Ronghua smiled slightly.

Xiao Lizi raised his head with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Back to the princess, the emperor is summoning Lord Li, I'm afraid it's inconvenient right now..."

"Just pass it on." The smile on Princess Ronghua's face remained undiminished, but her eyes were stern.

When Xiao Lizi saw it, his heart was slightly shaken, so he could only agree, and then turned around and went into the hall to report back.

Not long after, I saw Xiao Lizi go and come back, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Please, princess!" Xiao Lizi bowed and invited Princess Ronghua into the palace.

Princess Ronghua nodded and asked Hongju to wait outside the hall.

Walking into the hall, I saw Emperor Zhengxi sitting in front of the long table with a slightly sullen expression on his face.

On the other hand, Li Ru'en's face was just and righteous. Princess Ronghua had heard about this stern and selfless chief official of the Qiu government, and was jokingly called the stern judge.

Seeing it today, Princess Ronghua couldn't help feeling respectful.

"My son, pay respects to the emperor!" Princess Ronghua saluted Emperor Zhengxi.

"Let's get back down without courtesy!" Emperor Zhengxi rubbed his swollen temples, looking a bit sleepy.

"Father, my son heard that Lord Li has tracked down the identity of the assassin, so I came here to take a look." Princess Ronghua confessed her intentions.

As soon as Emperor Zhengxi heard her mention the identity of the assassin, his expression immediately became a little worried, "You came just in time, come and listen to what Li Zhuangao said!"

Emperor Zhengxi was so angry that he used Li Ruen's nickname without hesitation.

"Did Master Li say something that upset Father?" Princess Ronghua asked pretending to be puzzled.

Her words reminded Emperor Zhengxi, thinking about it, Li Ruen didn't say anything outrageous, but just reported the results of the investigation!

Then why did I react so much?

Emperor Zhengxi immediately calmed down when he thought of this.

"The second prince is involved in the clues I found." Li Ruen answered Princess Ronghua's question sternly.

"Is it related to the second brother?" Princess Ronghua covered her mouth pretending to be surprised.

"Exactly!" Li Ruen confirmed again.

Before Princess Ronghua could speak, Emperor Zhengxi asked angrily, "Listen to what he said? Azhang almost died to protect Azhao, but you said that the assassin had something to do with him. You are provoking the prince." Are you guilty of infighting?"

"Royal Father" Princess Ronghua disagreed, she slowly expressed her opinion, "I don't think so, Mr. Li's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and he will definitely not be a person who spreads rumors indiscriminately."

"Yu'er?" Emperor Zhengxi looked at Princess Ronghua, with suspicion and slight disappointment in his eyes.
