Su Qingcheng raised her head. While the Queen looked at her, she was also observing the woman behind Emperor Dong Ling.

She had heard in her previous life that Dong Ling was slightly better than Nanye, mostly because of the ability of Queen Chun De's maternal clan to lead troops.

It's a pity that such a powerful generation of families cannot give birth to a son, and Queen Chunde suffered from a physical illness when she gave birth to the eldest princess, and she can no longer be pregnant.

Even so, her status as queen is still unshakable. Some people joked that even if Emperor Dong Ling falls, Queen Chun De will not fall.

"Not bad, not bad. There is a hint of my cousin between her eyebrows. How about you and the eldest princess move into the side hall of the Splendid Palace of this palace?" the queen said softly.

Su Qingcheng's heart flashed. Her identity was obviously forged. Where did the shadow of her cousin come from? What happened to this queen?

"I can do anything. The Queen will just arrange it." She smiled gently without revealing any flaws.

"You still call me Queen Empress. It's too unfamiliar. Just call me aunt." Queen Empress took Su Qingcheng's hand and liked her very much.

Su Qingcheng was very confused. Logically speaking, the queen should know that she was not the real princess, yet she could still act so naturally.

There are only two possibilities. One is that her acting skills are really good and she can establish an image of a virtuous and virtuous elder in front of everyone. The other is that she really thinks that Su Qingcheng is her niece.

Thinking of this, Su Qingcheng naturally looked at the eldest princess and said, "Aunt and cousin are very similar. They look like biological sisters."

The Queen was very happy to hear these words. She put the eighteen-seeded agate string on her wrist into Su Qingcheng's hand and said: "This is a meeting gift from my aunt to you. It's getting late and I'm exhausted. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Farewell to the Queen."

Under the watch of everyone, the Queen and the Imperial Concubine left one after another, and the Grand Duke also read out the bedrooms assigned to everyone present in accordance with the Queen's order.

Most of the female family members lived in the side halls of the queens of each palace, while the princes were arranged to live in the Chonghua Palace where they lived as children in order to avoid suspicion. Princes like Ye Tantai lived in the Jianzhang Palace where guests lived.

During the funeral, no extravagance or waste was allowed, and everyone had to walk back to their respective palaces.

Su Qingcheng and the eldest princess walked side by side on the palace road. The white flags along the road made the palace even more dull and depressing.

"By the way, how did you tell the queen about my identity?" Su Qingcheng asked.

The eldest princess said: "She hasn't returned to Yulin City for a long time. She can't remember who has given birth to a child among her relatives. Maybe she really regards you as a cousin's daughter."

Su Qingcheng vaguely heard the tiredness in the eldest princess's words, and said softly: "The walls of this palace are really high. Everyone says that the palace is nice. You don't have to worry about food and clothing. You can enjoy endless glory and wealth. But who knows this?" How much do the people in the palace yearn for the outside world?"

"With your tone, people who don't know would think you have lived in the palace," the eldest princess said with a smile, "I'm just worried about Hao'er. I'm not here, and Grandma Qin is no longer here, what should he do..."

Su Qingcheng's eyes flashed with a sophisticated look, and she said, "Are you going to hide like this forever?"

"I don't want to, but...it's better to say that he is younger. He is now six years old. My mother-in-law will never allow stains to appear in my life." The eldest princess said disappointedly.

"Then have you ever thought about finding someone to get married to and then adopting him as your adopted son?" Su Qingcheng said.

A flash of light flashed in the eldest princess's eyes, and she said happily: "This is a good idea. Everyone in the princess's residence only regards him as the grandson of Grandma Qin. Grandma Qin has passed away now, so it does make sense for me to adopt him. "

"Yeah, but the premise is that you have to get married first." Su Qingcheng said.

She had been thinking about this issue when she was kneeling and had nothing to do. Since Mr. Hao was nominally the grandson of Nanny Qin, it was reasonable for the eldest princess to adopt him.

It not only solves the problem of mother and son not being able to recognize each other, but also prevents any confusion. "But you can't get married during the funeral. I'm afraid it won't be until half a year at the earliest." The eldest princess suddenly thought and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"That's not necessarily the case..." Su Qingcheng said.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them had already reached the door of Jinxiu Palace.

The magnificent palace shows the dignity of the owner. The nanny at the door has obviously been waiting for a long time. After seeing the two of them, she saluted and said: "This slave is the nun of Jinxiu Palace. Just call me Aunt Zhang. If you need anything from now on, just give me your instructions." .”

"Mommy, you're welcome. It's so late and I bother you to wait in front of the palace gate." Su Qingcheng said generously.

Madam Zhang bowed slightly and said: "The Queen has specifically given instructions. It's dark at night, and for fear that the two young masters will be frightened, she asked the slaves to wait at the door. Please come this way."

Nanny Zhang opened her hand and guided the two of them to the path on the right. The eldest princess asked doubtfully: "Nanny Zhang, wouldn't it be faster to go to the left to go to the side hall?"

Madam Zhang paused her hand and continued: "The floor tiles on the left became warped two days ago and are still being repaired. We can only take a detour from the right."

The eldest princess didn't take it to heart, took Su Qingcheng's hand and followed Grandma Zhang.

Su Qingcheng inadvertently looked back at the path to the left, thinking secretly in her heart.

The side hall was also divided into several courtyards. The eldest princess was in the main courtyard. Su Qingcheng took a look at the quieter east courtyard. There was a large lily in front of the courtyard, which made her feel relaxed and happy.

It was getting late, and after Mammy Zhang settled the two of them, she returned to the Queen's chamber.

The door of the palace was gently closed, and there was a small dark brown desk in front of the circular lattice window. A unique Taihu stone incense burner was placed at an angle, and two thin streams of smoke spiraled up from it.

Nanny Zhang put her hands in front of her belly and said, "Ms. Qi, the eldest princess and Princess Nan'an have already stayed."

"Which courtyard does she live in?" The queen knelt down in front of the Jade Bodhisattva, turning the beads in her hands without opening her eyes.

"Lily Pavilion on the east side." Granny Zhang said.

The beads stopped, and the Queen slowly opened her eyes, with a look of reminiscing about the past, and murmured: "Sure enough... is she her daughter?"

At the same time, Su Qingcheng's side.

As soon as Aunt Zhang left, she asked all the serving maids to go out, and she was the only one left in Nuo Da's palace.

She looked around the yard, which was not very big. The layout inside and out was the style she liked. From the moment she stepped into the yard, she felt familiar.

"You're still up so late, are you waiting for me?" Ye Tantai was seen holding lilies that he picked from the yard at an unknown time in his hand, sitting on the palace wall covered with vines, looking at her gently. Holding her.

"This is the harem," Su Qingcheng said worriedly, "If someone discovers it, it will be a death penalty. Come down quickly!"
