Soon, Eunuch Qi came out in person to greet them, with a smile on his face from a distance. He walked closer, bowed, and said, "Meet Princess Haiyan! The emperor was just talking about Princess Haiyan, and you're here."
Shi Anxia returned the junior’s greeting to Eunuch Qi and said with a gentle smile, “Thank you for taking the trouble to come pick me up.”
Eunuch Qi said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's just a few steps away. I'm just worried that Princess Haiyan will wait outside for too long."
The two of them entered the palace chatting and laughing.
When the guards saw Eunuch Qi's behavior, they knew that Princess Haiyan was indeed very popular in the eyes of the emperor.
To a large extent, Eunuch Qi's attitude represents the emperor's attitude.
Princess Haiyan was the first one to be personally received by Eunuch Qi.
The last time that Eunuch Qi personally picked her up was Princess Haiyan. At that time, she was just an ordinary girl from a marquis's mansion.
The news spread into the harem, reached the ears of the queens, and also reached the ears of several princesses.
Xiyou Palace.
Li Qinghui sat at the top, elegant and graceful, full of charm. Time had left no trace on her face, the only thing that had changed was the hope in her eyes that gradually solidified into despair.
Princess Haiyan!
Princess Haiyan!
Time! An! Xia!
Recently she had heard too many rumors about this young lady from the Marquis's Mansion, and "in my name" even made Emperor Mingde personally appear at the execution ground to support her.
Incredible!
Princess Haiyan!
Li Qinghui knew Emperor Mingde too well.
To make Emperor Mingde so attentive, beauty or tenderness is not enough.
Only one thing, that is, the country and the people's suffering, can catch the eyes of Emperor Mingde.
In recent years, Li Qinghui has been having heart-to-heart talks with Emperor Mingde by candlelight on the topic of people's livelihood.
They talked about droughts, floods, bandits and pirates night after night, repeating the same things over and over again, and Emperor Mingde never got tired of listening to them.
She said she was tired of talking.
Such a beauty, yet in the middle of the night, was treated like a wooden stake by Emperor Mingde.
It can be seen that Princess Haiyan is amazing! She accurately hit the emperor's mind.
It must have been on the day when he pleaded guilty in the Marquis' Mansion, when he proposed to Emperor Mingde to abolish the system of collective punishment, that he truly entered the heart of Emperor Mingde.
Li Qinghui couldn't help but clench her hands. Even when her nails pierced her palms, she didn't feel any pain.
She asked knowingly, "Princess Haiyan came to the palace again today?"
The personal maid Ruyi replied, "Yes, she took the passage for the royal family to meet the emperor. I heard that Eunuch Qi went to pick her up personally. Princess Haiyan and Eunuch Qi chatted and laughed and went straight into the imperial study. I heard that they didn't have to wait outside for instructions."
"I understand." Li Qinghui chewed these words with gritted teeth.
Ever since the day Emperor Mingde asked her to flee and take care of Zhu Lingxiu, she had knelt outside the imperial study countless times to beg for a meeting.
Emperor Mingde didn't even let her set foot in the imperial study.
But he allowed a little girl to enter and leave the imperial study at will!
She couldn't swallow this.
Li Qinghui's gloomy face suddenly changed into a gentle and peaceful expression, and she said softly, "The weather is getting more and more stuffy. Please change my clothes and help me go out for a walk."
"Yes." Ruyi responded.
In the imperial study, Emperor Mingde looked at the girl's calm face in surprise, "You mean, let the Empress Dowager return to the palace?"
