Chapter 11: Just change the name to Bald Palace!
Emperor Jingyuan carried Xihe away, leaving Concubine Chen to deal with the aftermath.

Looking at the dejected-looking Concubine Yun Shu, no, she should be called Yun now, Concubine Chen Guifei just felt that the struggles over the years were really boring.

This idiot has been in the palace for so many years but still hasn't figured out Emperor Jingyuan's temper.

Your Majesty, whoever you want to be a lucky star will be a lucky star, and whoever you want to be a disaster star will be a disaster star. It is all up to Your Majesty's thoughts.

Emperor Jingyuan carried Xihe out of the cold palace. Xiao Mingxuan, who was hiding in the tree, was about to go back home. However, when he turned around, he suddenly met Xihe's eyes. The little girl was not afraid, but blinked at him happily.

Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, didn't stay any longer, turned around, flew onto the roof and left.

This little princess seems quite interesting.

Although Emperor Jingyuan doted on Xihe, he could not always keep the princess in Yuanyang Palace. After weighing various considerations, Emperor Jingyuan registered Xihe under the name of Concubine Chen to keep the eldest prince company.

The Sixth Princess was raised in the Fuhua Palace. Ever since she had a playmate, the eldest prince took his sister everywhere with him every day. The entire Fuhua Palace was deserted, which caused Concubine Chen headaches for several times. She simply changed the name of the palace to Guangbalu Palace.

Since arriving at Fuhua Palace, Xihe still went to Yuanyang Palace every day and became a frequent visitor of Yuanyang Palace. At the beginning, Emperor Jingyuan would avoid Xihe when handling government affairs, but since he found that this girl was very smart and sometimes could make some good suggestions unintentionally, he always kept Xihe by his side.

One day, Xihe had just woken up from a nap when he heard Concubine Chen giving instructions in a low voice in the outer hall.

"Have you found out who is behind this?"

Mu Yuan and Mu Hua both shook their heads. "She was just a maid who did menial work. She usually interacted with too many people. We really have no way to investigate."

Concubine Chen sneered, "Xihe had just been raised here, and someone poisoned her. What a great way to kill two birds with one stone."

Nowadays, everyone knows that Princess Zhaoyuan is the apple of Emperor Jingyuan's eye. There was a poisoning case in Fuhua Palace. If anything happens to the little princess, Concubine Chen will certainly not be able to escape.

Concubine Chen closed her eyes, hiding the ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

When Concubine Chen opened her eyes, she saw Xihe rubbing his eyes and walking out from behind the curtain.

Concubine Chen hurried over to pick up Xihe and smoothed her folded sleeves. "Did I wake you up?"

Xihe climbed up to Concubine Chen's neck, came forward, and said in a baby voice: "Mother, what happened?"

Concubine Chen thought about it for a while and decided not to hide it from the child. She always felt that Xihe was much smarter than ordinary children. "When Muhua went to the kitchen, she saw someone poisoning your food."

"Did you catch the bad guy?" Xihe drank two sips of water from Concubine Chen's hand before he felt his consciousness gradually returning.

Concubine Chen shook her head. "Mu Hua did not alert the enemy. She just confiscated the poisonous food. But the person behind this has not been found yet."

"Then never mind."

Mu Yuan and Mu Hua looked at each other and looked at the little princess curiously.

"Oh, you are so stupid. You can't find anything anyway, so why not just stop investigating. As long as I'm fine, she will naturally go back to look for her master."

Concubine Chen looked at the little one in front of her in amazement, her eyes full of surprise. She knew that Xihe was smarter than other children, but she didn't expect that she was so cunning. The maid's goal was to put Xihe to death. If Xihe was fine, they would naturally panic. Concubine Chen had a habit of thoroughly cleaning the entire Fuhua Palace every half a month, so the maid would definitely not hide too much poison around her. Once it was used up, she would definitely go get it again, and that would be the best time for them to catch ghosts.

"Mother, let's tell Daddy about this and let him handle it, okay?" Xihe snapped her fingers and straightened her back deliberately, like a little adult. "Daddy is amazing. He knows everything about the palace."

Concubine Chen was shocked. Yes, although she was in charge of the harem, nothing could escape the eyes of Emperor Jingyuan, otherwise the Yun family incident would not have been discovered so quickly. Even if His Majesty didn't know about it at the moment, if he asked about it later and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives, it was hard to guarantee that Emperor Jingyuan would not suspect Concubine Chen of stealing. It would be better to put it on the table and let Emperor Jingyuan deal with it.

When the emperor bestows favor, he also requires absolute trust in return.

"Xihe is really mother's great treasure, and so smart." Concubine Chen lowered her head and kissed the pink and plump little girl, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Xihe nestled in Concubine Chen's arms and smiled, with a rather smug look on her face. If she had a little tail, it would definitely be sticking up to the sky. "You guys just realized that Xihe is the smartest baby~"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"Sister, sister, brother is back!" The voice came from afar before the eldest prince arrived.

As soon as Xihe heard the eldest prince's voice, he jumped out of Concubine Chen's arms and ran to the door to greet him, "Brother, brother, stay here~"

As soon as the eldest prince came in, he picked up his sister and put her on his lap. "Why do you think your sister has become a little heavier?"

After saying that, he weighed it twice and said confidently, "It's a little heavy."

Xihe immediately pursed her lips, with a look of tears in her eyes. "Brother, if you say a girl is fat, you will be beaten."

The eldest prince, a straight man, was stunned. Xihe Bangbang punched him twice, then turned around and threw himself into the arms of Concubine Chen. "I'm sad. Don't care about my brother anymore. Mother is still the best."

Looking at the eldest prince's flustered look, Concubine Chen laughed out loud without giving him any face. However, she also weighed him twice and found that Xihe was indeed a little heavier than before. It seemed that she had taken good care of him.

"Sister, I was wrong. I will apologize to you, okay? Just tell me what you want and I will get it for you." The eldest prince has been brought up by Emperor Jingyuan since he was three years old. Influenced by this environment, he has a majestic aura when facing others. He is only at a loss when facing his youngest sister.

Xihe was just pretending to cry. Upon hearing this, she immediately turned her head and stared at the eldest prince with her big, sparkling eyes. "Then brother, can you accompany me to the lion and tiger park to play, please?"

The eldest prince is busy with his studies and doesn't have much free time, but he promised Xihe yesterday to take her to the lion and tiger park.

The eldest prince opened his mouth and said awkwardly: "Sister, father has ordered brother to take the exam for teaching, so it may be a little later."

I thought my sister would be disappointed, but unexpectedly the little girl suddenly perked up, "Then I'll go with my brother. I want to eat at daddy's place."

Xihe's work and rest schedule is different from that of ordinary people. She always gets up to eat after getting enough sleep. But why did she go to Yuanyang Palace to eat for no reason?

Receiving the eldest prince's inquiring gaze, Concubine Chen said calmly, "Xihe's food has been poisoned. Mother wants to thoroughly investigate everything Xihe has access to, so you should take your sister to have dinner with your father."

Concubine Chen couldn't guarantee whether the other things used by Xihe were contaminated with toxins, so she took this opportunity to replace them all.

The eldest prince's expression suddenly turned cold, and there was a strange fluctuation in his dark eyes. He said in a deep voice: "I understand, mother, don't worry."
