Mei Xichen's body gradually recovered under Shangguanqing's careful care over the past month. During this period, Dr. Fang often visited the house and repeatedly confirmed that Mei Xichen's condition was indeed gradually recovering.

The current queen is still related to Mei Xichen. The Queen is the youngest daughter of the old lady. So she and Mei Xichen have an aunt-nephew relationship.

After hearing that Dr. Fang came to the palace to report that Mei Xichen's condition had improved greatly and that he had benefited from the newly married princess, he decided to give a banquet in the palace to enhance the relationship.

It should be said that although the queen is the mother of a country, she is not favored at the moment. In addition, her mother's family has no one to help her. It is hard to have a brother who can support her in the court and died in the battle with Yagong. However, her nephew was suffering from such a strange disease. The queen did not want to continue to be favored in front of the emperor. She only hoped to keep this title in name only to be Amitabha. Thank God.

Recently, I heard that Dr. Fang said that Mei Xichen's illness seemed to be greatly improved, and I was very anxious to see if it was true, and hope was rekindled in my heart. The purpose is to regain the emperor's grace as soon as possible and to honor our ancestors.

"Old madam, the queen sent a message to the princes and princes in the palace. In view of the recent recovery of King Jingyang's health, he will entertain the prince and princess at Fengyi Pavilion tonight. Please make preparations early." Chuntao said.

"I know, let's go down!" The queen's information is really well-informed, the old lady said with a smile.

After Mei Xichen recovered a little, he, who never went out before, began to fall in love with going to the market, especially with Shangguan Qing by his side. The two were inseparable, making everyone envious.

"Let's go to the bridge to have a look. Mei Xichen took Shangguanqing's hand and came to the bridge." In the past, Mei Xichen seemed to be uninterested in everything. The ten-year deadline was like a heavy stone in his heart. As for him, although he has not fully recovered now, his mood at this time is already different from the past.

"Look, aren't these the young prince and princess from Jingyang Palace? I heard that this princess is very capable. She even cured the young prince's chronic illness for many years. Do you think it's magical or not?"

"Yes, I also heard that she invented a medicinal bath. She soaked in the hot spring and cured the young prince's illness."

"Hey, I don't have such ability, otherwise, I would definitely marry the young prince."

Several young women were talking privately.

Mei Xichen and Shangguanqing heard the private discussions of those people, but ignored them. Now they only have eyes for each other, so how can they be in the mood to care about what others say.

Just as the two of them were admiring the picturesque scenery on the bridge, the maid Rongruo ran over and said breathlessly: "The prince and princess have finally found you. The queen sent someone here just now, saying that they wanted the prince and princess to come. Get ready, the Queen will give you a banquet at Fengyi Pavilion tonight."

"The Queen is giving you a banquet? Then we should prepare well." He said and looked towards Mei Xichen.

After that, the two returned to Jingyang Prince's Mansion together.

"Princess, are you ready? I am impatient to wait." Mei Xichen said anxiously and walked into the house.

Opening the door, I saw Shangguan Qing wearing a lavender Luo Yi, a brocade satin cloak, and a gold hairpin inlaid with red gemstones, walking towards Mei Xichen affectionately with a face as delicate as a hibiscus emerging from the water.

"Princess is so beautiful today." She said and hugged Shangguan Qing.

Seeing this, Rong Ruo quickly opened the door of the house. Mei Xichen hugged Shangguan Qing and walked out of the house. From the inside to the outside, from the garden to the front yard, she held Shangguan Qing in her arms and got into the carriage.

The attendants on the side were stunned when they saw such a scene.

Xu Mo coughed deliberately at the side, and everyone came back to their senses and continued busy with what they were doing.

"The palace is so big and there are so many rules." Shangguan Qing said to Mei Xichen.

"Don't be afraid. I am here and I will protect you. In fact, the queen is very nice. I think she wanted to meet your nephew-in-law, whom I have never met before." Mei Xichen joked.

"What do I have to say?" Shangguan Qing shook his head helplessly.

The two of them went straight to Fengyi Pavilion under the guidance of Wang Gonggong.

After sitting down, Shangguan Qing was about to look around when he heard the prince shout: "The Queen is here."

A graceful and luxurious woman walked in from the front door. She was about 40 years old. She was dressed in a blue brocade dress and was elegant, with a bit of softness and calmness in her expression.

"Greetings to the Queen." The two said in unison.

"Please sit down, please sit down. Today is a family dinner. We are all a family, so there is no need to be formal."

"Is this Chen'er's newly married princess?" the queen asked.

"Oh, she is indeed a beautiful lady with unparalleled beauty and unparalleled elegance." The queen praised Shangguan Qing full of praise.

"Queen, Miao Zan, actually I..." Shangguan Qing didn't know how to answer the question and was hesitating.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has good eyesight. The Princess is indeed very handsome, unlike any other woman." Mei Xichen boasted.

"I feel relieved to see Chen'er in good health."

After the Queen and Mei Xichen chatted with each other about their daily affairs, they changed the subject and spoke with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Chen'er, as an aunt, I want to tell you something."

"The queen just says it's okay," Mei Xichen replied.

"Your health was not good before, so I don't want you to worry too much about state affairs. I just want you, the young prince, to live a life like a leisurely cloud and wild crane. I don't expect you to help me in the court. But I heard Over the years, you have been studying martial arts diligently and reading poetry and books. I think you still have the determination to serve the court. At present, our family's power is declining little by little. Originally, I had no intention of making a fearless struggle, but now You are about to recover, I think..."

"Queen, Chen'er understands your good intentions." Mei Xichen hurriedly spoke.

"Now that King Kang's power is growing day by day, and his daughter is the emperor's favorite concubine, the government and the public are now in chaos, forming cliques for personal gain. The emperor just let it go because of Concubine Xue's face, and allowed King Kang to continue such nonsense. However, the emperor was helpless, mainly because of the people around him. I don’t have a capable helper.”

"If my father was alive before, I could still compete with him, but now..." After saying that, Mei Xichen sighed.

"Chen'er, don't worry too much. I will recommend you to the emperor. I believe you will be able to shoulder the family's mission and responsibilities."

"In addition, I have been secretly investigating the cause of your father's death these years." The Queen said.

"What do you mean, my queen, there is something fishy about my father's death?" Mei Xichen asked doubtfully.

"I am now weak and unable to observe clearly, so I can only investigate secretly, but with little success. This is why I want you to grow up quickly so that I can find out who was responsible for your father's death. "

"Well, today is the day when our family is reunited. We should be happy. I won't mention it before, but Chen'er, you have to know my good intentions and seize the opportunity so that one day the family will be prosperous again. ." The Queen's eyes glowed with hope as she spoke.

"Chen'er understands. Everything will be as arranged by the empress." Mei Xichen stood up and saluted.
