Currently, empress An was inside the palace of princess Xiu Ying, after she had previously met the queen and also the emperor in the palace of the king.
"How are you doing, are you feeling much better?" Xiu Ying's daughter's.
"Yes, I feel much better. Forgive me for making Brother Xiu Ying worry about me."
"You are the queen of this kingdom. Which means you're a family member of this palace, so of course we're very worried about you."
"Thank you for the kindness of sister-in-law."
"You've been away with Li for a few days, do you feel better?"
"I hope I'll always be good. But in reality."
Princess Xiu Ying looked at Empress An dejectedly, although she had never felt the loss that empress An felt at this moment, yet she quite understood how Empress An felt.
"Empress An, don't ever think that you no longer have someone in your life. We'll all always be with you." Xiu Ying's daughter's.
"Thank you for the kindness and care, sister-in-law."
Princess Xiu Ying nodded.
"Yes, can you check on me. I should have felt it a few days ago, but to this day it has not come." Xiu Ying's daughter's.
"Well, I'll check on brother-in-law first."
Princess Xiu Ying nodded, "Yes.
(By understanding what Xiu Ying's daughter said. Which once every one month appears in women π€)
Empress An then checked the pulse of Xiu Ying's daughter.
" How am I doing?" Xiu Ying's daughter's.
"Sister-in-law's health is very good, sister takes care of sister's body very well."
"really?"
Empress An nodded, "Right, it's likely that big brother hasn't felt it yet because big brother has a lot of thoughts that you shouldn't have thought of."
"You're right, these few days I've been thinking about a lot of things."
"Sister should cut it down."
"All right."
"And I hope brother-in-law will soon have a child."
"I hope so too."
Empress An nodded with a smile.
"How were you at Prince Rong's pavilion?" Princess Xiu Ying said again.
"It's very quiet, and very nice."
"It's good that it's like that, I'm so happy to hear it."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then, are you and Li going to stay back in the pavilion like before?"
"I still think about it, because not a few people want my life. And I don't want his highness prince Rong to have any other problems."
Princess Xiu Ying grabbed the hand of Empress An, "You are Li's wife, the wife of prince Rong. He should have protected you from all those who wanted to do evil to you."
"I just don't want him to get hurt because of me. Although I can protect myself, and can also treat the wounds of his highness Prince Rong, but still. I don't want to take anything dangerous."
Princess Xiu Ying nodded, "Then what are your plans?"
"For the time being, I will stay inside the palace. After everything stops, me and his highness prince Rong will return to stay in the pavilion."
"All right, I get it. You can do it, if it's the best decision for both of you."
"Yes, thank you."
"Tomorrow is the 7th day of your mother's death, have you prepared everything?"
"I've prepared everything, I've also made a cake that you always eat."
"I can treat others, but I can't treat my own mother, how can I be a devoted child?"
"Empress An, we know you've done very well for your mother, but the heavens have their own will. So stop blaming yourself."
Empress An was silent, even though what Xiu Ying's daughter said was true. But still, he felt very useless and a child who was not devoted to his mother.
"Your mother must be very happy to see you living well and happily here, you must be able to survive and not continue like this, Empress An." Xiu Ying's daughter's.
"Thank you, I'll try."
Princess Xiu Ying nodded, there was a sense of haru as well as the sympathy she felt for Empress An.
After all, Empress An was young, and after marriage she had to lose someone so meaningful in her life all along. So of course, he felt so fragile.
"Alright, brother. I have to go back to the palace, I don't want your sister looking for me here and there, if I haven't come back yet." Said empress An.
"You're right, he can't be far from you. Even if you only go for a few moments to my palace."
Empress An smiled as she nodded.
After saluting, empress An walked out of the palace of princess Xiu Ying along with Feng Ying behind her.
"Your highness, I have never seen the noble prince He Xuan Li, any of us go to the noble princess' palace." Said Feng Ying.
"Her Majesty He Xuan Li was assigned by the emperor's father to take care of and supervise the tax prime minister, he had quite good intelligence. And he was also an honest man, so the emperor's father asked for his help there."
Feng Ying nodded, became a watchdog and took care of the various taxes of the people, and the results of inter-royal buying and selling were indeed not easy, especially if there was someone who was cheating.
"During this time the Chao state was very prosperous, with very good plantation and livestock yields. The prime ministers certainly want some of that." Said empress An.
"Right, your honor, that's why many prime ministers are embezzling people's taxes."
Empress An nodded, "I hope that his highness Prince He Xuan Li can handle them."
"Yes, your honor."
Empress An and Feng Ying entered prince Rong's palace, and they saw that prince Rong had been standing in front of his reading room.
"Look, even his highness prince Rong is also so busy." Said empress An.
"Yes, your honor."
Empress An smiled, and they walked over to Prince Rong.
"Your majesty." Queen An said to Prince Rong.
"You're back?"
"Yes, your honor. I see your majesty is so busy."
"Yes, the few days we stayed in the pavilion made some people fall out. But it's almost done."
"It's good that it's like that."
"We are back in the room, you must be quite tired after being detained by the emperor's father, the queen mother and also the daughter of Xiu Ying."
"I just talked to them and checked the state of princess Xiu Ying."
"Is he okay?"
Empress An nodded, "Yes, she is very kind."
"It's good that way."
Empress An nodded, then the two of them walked towards the room. Followed by Feng Ying behind them.
"Do you want to eat something?" Prince Rong.
"No, I don't want to eat anything right now."
Prince Rong nodded, "I've asked the waiter to prepare some food that mommy likes for tomorrow."
"Thank you, because your majesty prepared it."
"She is your mother, which means also my mother. And I should've done that to my mom."
Empress An nodded with a smile, she was happy because she had such a good husband towards her and also her mother.
