The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

The grandfather and grandson rode in a carriage into the palace.

The post was delivered yesterday. Princess Fuhua had an imperial decree and a token representing her status was hung outside. When the carriage passed through the palace gate, it was not even checked and entered the palace unimpeded.

The carriage entered the palace from Shenwu Gate and stopped at Shunzhen Gate.

Shunzhen Gate is already in the inner court. It is not far from the Weiyang Palace where Empress Yuan lived, and can be considered the nearest palace gate.

When Princess Fuhua and Mingjin got off the carriage, many palace maids were already standing there to greet them.

The palace maid leading the group was the senior maidservant beside Empress Yuan, named Guan Qing.

Guan Qing entered the palace with Empress Yuan and was her maid. Her status and position were not comparable to those of ordinary palace maids.

Empress Yuan asked her to come in person to pick up the grandparents and grandchildren, which shows how much she values ​​them.

Seeing the old man and the young man get off the carriage, Guan Qing immediately led a large group of people over and said, "Finally, our long-awaited ancestor has returned."

As she spoke, she bowed and greeted the two of them.

Princess Fuhua smiled and asked her to get up. She then said to Mingjin, "Yanyan, this is the aunt in charge of the queen's affairs. Her name is Guan Qing. When you see her in the future, you must call her Aunt Qing."

Ming Jin nodded, and half-leaned to Guan Qing, calling out, "Aunt Qing."

"Oh, old ancestor and young lady, you are too kind to me. I am just a servant, how can I deserve such a title?" Guan Qing had already turned aside to avoid the greeting, but her eyes were very gentle when she looked at Ming Jin.

Then he continued, "When the queen heard that you were back, she was very happy and wanted to see you, but she was afraid that you had just returned and were not used to it, so she thought that she would invite you to the palace for tea when the time was right. But she didn't expect that the old ancestor would bring you here first."

She talked for a while, then hurriedly said, "Look at me, I'm busy talking. Old Ancestor and Miss, please follow me. The Queen has been waiting for you for a long time."

Princess Fuhua nodded, let Guan Qing lead the way, and she followed behind with Mingjin.

After the beginning of autumn.

It rained again a while ago.

It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill. Although the weather is not that cold now, it is not as uncomfortable as the scorching sun in summer.

The group walked along Shunzhen Gate towards the Weiyang Palace.

The inner court was very large, and on the way to the Weiyang Palace, they had to pass by scenic spots such as the Imperial Garden and Fubiting Pavilion.

It's funny to say.

Ming Jin once lived in this palace for more than half a year, but he almost never went out for a walk.

This Imperial Garden and Fubiting Pavilion were the places she had walked through when she first entered the palace in her early years. Although the temperature was getting cooler in autumn, the scenery of this Imperial Garden was still as colorful and beautiful as ever.

Various precious flowers are piled together, and you can even see butterflies flying in the air.

No wonder so many people are trying their best to enter this harem.

Here are placed the most treasures in the world, whether they are living things or dead things, all precious, famous or not, they can all be seen here at a glance.

But Mingjin looked at it without any emotion.

This harem, where she had once wanted to be the master, was also where she was buried in her previous life. All her previous obsessions also disappeared with her death in her previous life.

She didn't look around, just supported her grandmother and walked slowly on the palace road.

She could sense Guan Qing's gaze on her, but ignored it.

Guan Qing was indeed observing secretly.

It's not out of any bad intention, I'm just curious.

After all, we haven't seen each other for ten years.

She didn't know what the ten years of exile had done to this young lady from the Marquis's Mansion, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. She thought of the petition sent by the old ancestor from Yingzhou, which did mention this person. Now it seemed that this person really had the style of a member of a famous aristocratic family.

Although he had been in exile for ten years, he did not seem to be poor or destitute at all.

The upbringing and nobility in her bones are still evident.

She secretly stopped looking around and led the two of them again, while introducing the surrounding scenery to Mingjin.

After walking for a while, they arrived at Weiyang Palace.

When the palace servants inside saw them coming, they passed the message inside first.

When Princess Fuhua led Mingjin over, Empress Yuan also came out with a smile and stood in front of the inner hall watching them come.

Princess Fuhua is of noble status and is highly valued by His Majesty.

Without waiting for Princess Fuhua to pay her respects, Empress Yuan stepped forward and supported Princess Fuhua: "Aunt, please don't embarrass me."

Empress Yuan smiled and helped Princess Fuhua up without asking her to bow.

She turned around and looked at Ming Jin who was greeting her.

The girl lowered her head but maintained a proper demeanor. Empress Yuan personally stepped forward and helped her up.

When she saw Mingjin's face, Empress Yuan's eyes brightened slightly. The girl was only wearing light makeup, but she was still beautiful and charming, like the sun after a rain. When people saw her, they felt that the air around them was a lot fresher.

"Good sign girl."

Queen Yuan had also seen many beauties, but at this moment she couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Ming Jin.

Princess Fuhua was smiling happily at the side.

The palace maid came over to serve tea.

Queen Yuan took them to their seats.

After half of the tea and some small talk, Empress Yuan suddenly asked Guan Qing to take the other palace maids out first.

When the three of them were the only ones left in the palace, Empress Yuan spoke to the two grandparents in the palace, "I also heard about the Yingzhou incident from Yu'er. The old ancestor of Yingzhou even wrote me a letter about this, asking me to apologize to my aunt and saying that if she were in the capital, she would come to apologize to you in person."

Others did not know about what happened in Yingzhou Prefecture, but Empress Yuan, as a member of the Yuan family, knew about it.

Not to mention Yingzhou Prefecture, even Yuan Yu didn't dare to hide it from her.

After all, this matter concerns the relationship between the Yuan family and the Ming family. If it is not handled properly and some misunderstanding arises, that would be bad.

Princess Fuhua also knew about this.

Mingjin guessed that Empress Yuan would bring it up when she entered the palace, so she told Princess Fuhua about the events of Yingzhou Prefecture again.

Even if Princess Fuhua was angry or unhappy.

But in the final analysis, this has nothing to do with the Yuan family. It can even be said that if it weren't for the Yuan family's branch, Yanyan wouldn't know when she would be able to get out of that dirty place and contact them.

Although she still felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

But he also knew that this matter could not be blamed on the Yuan family, let alone Queen Yuan.

"Yanyan has already told me about this. She is very grateful to the old lady of the Yuan family." Princess Fuhua put down the teacup in her hand and said to Queen Yuan, "It is not appropriate to say that she will apologize. If I and the old sister meet in the future, we should invite her to drink tea and thank her."

When Queen Yuan heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking to Princess Fuhua, she looked at Mingjin with gratitude.

She knew that if the child hadn't spoken up and said good things about the Yuan family, her aunt would have had no grudges at all.

She didn't tell His Majesty about this because she was afraid that His Majesty would be dissatisfied with what the Yuan family did after knowing it.

She was originally a little worried, but now she is finally relieved.

Consider this matter a thing of the past.

Empress Yuan was thinking about sending this girl some more gifts to express her gratitude and apology. Just as she was about to continue inviting the two to drink tea, she heard Ming Jin, who had not said much before, suddenly ask, "Your Majesty just mentioned, Yu'er? Excuse me, is this the second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Yu?"

Queen Yuan didn't expect Mingjin to ask this suddenly.

After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and replied, "It's my good-for-nothing nephew."

Seeing Ming Jin's slightly puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what this matter had to do with Yuan Yu, Empress Yuan smiled and explained to Ming Jin: "In fact, after all, this matter is still related to Yi Xian."

Yixian is Gu Mingheng's pen name, but Mingjin doesn't know this pen name.

Empress Yuan was used to calling him that, so she blurted it out subconsciously. Now, looking at the girl's expression, she smiled and explained to her, "It's the Prince of Chang'an."

Seeing the girl's slightly stunned expression, he whispered, "King Chang'an?"

Empress Yuan nodded and said, "You should have heard about Yixian's big move in Nanzhili a while ago."

Mingjin naturally knew about this.

Such a big thing caused a lot of commotion outside, and Ming Yuandu even talked to her personally about it, but what does her return have to do with King Chang'an?

Didn’t he find out about Xiu Li Tower when he passed through Yangzhou?

Why does it sound like Queen Yuan is talking about something related to her?

She didn't say much, still looking at Queen Yuan, but her heart seemed to be covered by dense spider webs and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Suddenly, she remembered what Ming Yuandu had asked her when she had just returned, whether she had met the King of Chang'an.

At that time, she just felt confused, but now...

"Although people outside say that Yixian found out about this while passing through Yangzhou, I heard from Yuer that Yixian went to Yingzhou first. He must have seen you there, and then followed the clues to find you in Yangzhou."

Empress Yuan was over forty years old.

Although she only had one son, the Fifth Prince, Gu Mingheng and Gu Changze both grew up under her care when they were young. Although her younger brother-in-law was only her younger brother-in-law, in Queen Yuan's eyes, Gu Mingheng was almost like half a son.

It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

This is the feeling that Empress Yuan has towards her younger brother-in-law.

Thinking about how he had lived an ascetic life all these years, such a noble prince had thrown himself to a place like the border to atone for his sins in this way, leaving himself covered in scars and almost in danger several times.

Others of his age have children running around, but he doesn't even have a woman who understands him.

People outside don't know these things, but she and His Majesty know very well that Yixian has never given up looking for the girl in front of him over the years.

But she found it difficult to say these words. If she said them too much, it would sound like a complaint.

Although His Majesty has been very resentful about this matter over the years.

But it’s not good to say it in front of the girl in front of me. After all, she is the one who suffers the most.

Princess Fuhua frowned upon hearing this, and then suddenly said, "I was wondering why Yixian suddenly wrote to me before. I thought he found out halfway through, but it turns out he knew about it long ago."

"Did Prince Chang'an write to you?" Ming Jin turned around and asked his grandmother.

This was something Mingjin didn't know.

She never knew about these things. She didn't know that Prince Chang'an had a hand in her return. She didn't know that Xiuli Tower was destroyed because of her. She didn't know that Prince Chang'an had contacted her grandmother privately.

The confusion in his heart made Mingjin's brain empty, and the words he spoke were also subconscious questions.

"What did he say to you?" she asked her grandmother.

Princess Fuhua said, "She just asked me to go back early and take good care of you, and told me to talk to him if I have anything to say."

Ming Jin became even more confused after hearing this.

"why?"

She doesn't understand.

She asked herself that she did not have such a good relationship with the King of Chang'an. The matter of Yingzhou and Xiuli Tower could still be explained by his "righteousness", but why did he contact his grandmother privately and ask her to take good care of her?
