After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Zheng Xiyan helped the empress dowager out of the main hall and saw Princess Xuanhua playing with Xiao Chengji. Princess Xuanhua was teasing him with a rattle and leading him to walk.

Xiao Chengji, who is about to turn one year old, can already stand steadily, but he still can't walk very smoothly. He is also lazy and doesn't like to move, let alone walk.

Princess Xuanhua encouraged him, "Come here, Ji'er, come here, auntie, come here."

Xiao Chengji opened his little hands and babbled, "Ah..."

"Jier Jier, come here quickly." Princess Xuanhua shook the rattle in her hand and blinked her eyes to tease him.

Xiao Chengji just refused to take a step forward and kept babbling. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but from his little face, I knew he was definitely angry.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Princess Xuanhua was helpless, so she came over, gave him the rattle, and then picked him up, "Ji'er, you have to learn to walk quickly, so that your aunt can take you out to play."

Zheng Xiyan and the Queen Mother saw this scene and smiled at each other. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Ji'er is still young, so you should think about taking him out to play."

"Mother! Look how much Ji'er likes me. I don't want to leave the palace now. I want to wait until Ji'er grows up, then I will take him out of the palace to play." Princess Xuanhua held Xiao Chengji in her arms, looking cute and innocent. Zheng Xiyan envied her when she saw her.

The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed, and she said seriously: "What are you talking about? After you leave, you can come back. Wouldn't it be better to take Ji'er out of the palace to play when the time comes?"

"Mother! You didn't understand what I meant." Princess Xuanhua pouted and said coquettishly.

How could the Queen Mother not hear it? She said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean, so I don't want to fulfill your wish."

"Mother~" A trace of disappointment flashed across Princess Xuanhua's face. She didn't want to get married, nor did she want to leave her mother.

Zheng Xiyan walked towards them, hugged Xiao Chengji in her arms, and said, "Ji'er, did you hear that? For your aunt, you have to grow up quickly. Your aunt can't wait to take you out of the palace to play. In a few years, let your aunt give birth to some brothers and sisters for you, and you can play with them."

"Imperial sister-in-law~" Princess Xuanhua's face felt a little embarrassed and gradually turned red.

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with eager expectation. She stepped forward and held Princess Xuanhua's hand. "What the Queen said is correct. This is exactly what I expect."

"Mother, you might as well urge the Empress Dowager to give Ji'er a brother or sister. Why are you urging me?" Princess Xuanhua's eyes flashed and she threw the question to the Queen.

"I am not partial. I urge everyone to have children and grandchildren. Only then will I be happy." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Okay! There are only five days left before you surrender. You must concentrate and live a good life with your husband after you surrender. Don't act willfully or fool around, okay?" The Queen Mother warned.

Princess Xuanhua smiled and said obediently, "I understand, mother, don't worry."

The Queen Mother looked pleased and said, "Good! Very good!"

Zheng Xiyan saw a bit of loneliness in the empress dowager's expression. She was the most noble woman in the world, and now she was the most blessed woman in the world, but she was unhappy after all. She had wasted most of her life in this deep palace. Although she seemed noble, her life was actually full of unspeakable sadness.

But when he thought about how he would end up like this in the future, a hint of melancholy appeared on his face.

"Once you are born, your mother will have nothing to worry about." The Queen Mother suddenly became sad. She had worried about her family and her children all her life. Now that her youngest daughter had found a home, she had no regrets.

Princess Xuanhua leaned on the Queen Mother's shoulder and acted coquettishly, "What are you talking about, mother? You still have to continue to worry about me. I will cling to you for the rest of my life."

"You!"

Five days later, on the day when Princess Xuanhua was to surrender, Zheng Xiyan went to Shoukang Palace early in the morning and accompanied the Queen Mother to see Princess Xuanhua off.

Princess Xuanhua was wearing a phoenix crown and was supported by palace maids to come before the Queen Mother and Zheng Xiyan. Zheng Xiyan was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head, looking very dignified.

The Queen Mother looked reluctant and had tears in her eyes.

Princess Xuanhua's eyes were moist. She knelt before the Queen Mother and kowtowed. "I bid farewell to my mother and my sister-in-law."

The Queen Mother came forward, helped her up, and said, "Hurry up, be well, and live a good life with your husband."

"Yes, I will." Princess Xuanhua nodded vigorously in response.

"Let's go!"

"Take care, mother." Princess Xuanhua said with sobs.

The Queen Mother let go of her hand, Princess Xuanhua turned around, raised her round fan to cover her face, and left Shoukang Palace.

The moment she stepped out of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan comforted her, "Don't be sad, mother. Xuanhua lives in Shangjing City. She is not marrying far away. From now on, she will come to the palace every day to accompany you. No one will say anything."

"That being said, how can a married princess return to the palace every day?" said the Queen Mother sadly.

"Your Majesty is right, I have spoken out of turn." This was the palace rule, and Zheng Xiyan could not say anything more.

"It's okay. You are right. Xuanhua's surrender has put my mind at ease. I only hope that she and her husband can live in harmony and love happily."

Although Zheng Xiyan didn't know much about Helian Cheng, she had heard of him. He was the son of General Weiyuan, a man of both civil and military talents, with both moral integrity and talent. He had a very good reputation in Shangjing City. Such a person was worthy of Princess Xuanhua.

However, Xiao Xuanchen married his only biological sister to Helian Cheng, so it was inevitable that he would take advantage of her.

"Don't worry, mother. The prince consort has a good reputation and will definitely treat Xuanhua well." Zheng Xiyan comforted.

"I hope it's as you said."

When Princess Xuanhua was married, the entire palace was filled with joy. Her dowry was more than ten miles of red makeup. Citizens from the capital all came to watch the ceremony. Seeing such a grand wedding, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This Princess Xuanhua is indeed your Majesty's biological sister. Look at these dowries."

"That's not true. The Queen Mother has only one precious jewel in her palm, so she must be pampered."

"I heard that this prince consort is from the Helian family and his father is General Weiyuan. This marriage is truly a match made in heaven."

"Yeah yeah!"
