Empress Dowager Pan’s head would ache whenever she thought of her unreliable son.
Xiao Baoxin immediately lost interest. When he saw the Empress Dowager lose interest, he quickly got up and said goodbye.
The Pan family’s matriarch had been staying with her family for more than half a day. Not long after Xiao Baoxin left, she also took her leave. As expected, when she saw that Empress Dowager Pan did not stay, she looked a little tired. There were many people in the palace to pay their respects during the New Year, and the Empress Dowager was really tired.
After everyone had left, the little eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager to bring Xiao Baoxin into the palace reported the matter of Princess Xuancheng crying as soon as she left the palace.
As expected, when he saw Empress Dowager Pan’s gloomy face, the young eunuch secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his words were right.
Only when she returned to the inner room to rest and only saw her confidant, Granny Zhao, did Empress Dowager Pan scold,””Xuancheng has been spoiled since young and is lawless. If I took it over with good intentions, it would either be her or the emperor every two or three days.”
“It’s the new year. If the rumors spread to the emperor, he might think that I’m abusing his daughter and do something to me.”
Granny Zhao was in her forties but not yet fifty. She was about the same age as Empress Dowager Pan, but she did not have the beauty of Empress Dowager Pan when she was young. Naturally, she did not have Empress Dowager Pan’s maintenance skills. Now that he was in his fifties, he still spent two hours a day on different types of skincare, and he had collected more than twenty secret recipes.
Granny Zhao had a square face when she was young. As she got older, her face became even more square. Her facial features were flat, but her skin was fair. As she got older, her skin was a few shades fairer than usual.
“Maybe he saw the Empress Dowager’s family living in harmony and missed his mother.”Granny Zhao comforted.
” I’m not unreasonable. What do you think, Your Majesty?” Empress Dowager Pan’s head hurt even more as she spoke. Her teeth were starting to hurt. “She’s just a concubine. What’s the point of letting her children be filial? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out? Aristocratic families have always looked down on us. Alright, he made them curse so much that they even submitted a memorial to oppose him.”
“I’ll be embarrassed if I tell anyone. Xuancheng is also not easy to worry about, but look at her wearing plain clothes every day. She doesn’t even dress up. What did I say? Being filial and unfilial was stronger than anything else.”
“Sigh, let’s not talk about it anymore. The more 1 talk about it, the angrier I get. I’ve never seen such a filial emperor.”
He was very filial to his concubine!
“Xuan Cheng is indeed pitiful. He lost his aunt at such a young age and has an unreliable father. What was he trying to do? He was an emperor who was quite reasonable and intelligent in the past. Did Liu-shi’s death take away his brain?” Granny Zhao was silent. She kept saying ‘you’re a * sshsh’. What could a servant like her say?
It was disrespectful to talk about the emperor.
“This Xuan City…Sigh, she’s not awake yet at the age of seventeen. Let Nanny carry her to me to take a look. This is even more pitiful.”Empress Dowager Pan was unforgiving, but she had it all in her heart.
Seventeenth was the birthday of the twelfth lunar month. He was only one year old before the new year, and now he couldn’t even understand a sentence.
It was a pity that his aunt had died at such a young age, yet he still had to let the emperor remember him whenever he saw something, hug him and cry bitterly.
If it wasn’t for her scolding him twice, he might have frightened Little Seventeen and Emperor Epsilon might have done something else.
“I’ve never seen him so filial even in death!”Empress Dowager Pan spat angrily.

Princess Xuancheng was placed by Empress Dowager Pan to the east of Xian Yang Hall. Whether it was the palace maids or eunuchs, they were all old servants she was used to in Yong He Palace. They were all brought over to her without being touched.
Xiao Bao Xin had entered the room of Princess Xuan Cheng in Eternal Wo Palace. Although Xian Yang Hall was not more luxurious than Eternal Wo Palace, it was still considered exquisite and elegant.
The reason was not that Empress Dowager Pan was deliberately neglecting her, but rather that Xian Yang Hall was not like Yong He Palace. The Emperor would reward whatever good things he got, and Noble Consort Liu loved to show off her wealth, so she would put out whatever good things she had. Even Princess Xuan Cheng’s room was decorated with gold and jade.
After closing the door, the smile on Princess Xuancheng’s face disappeared. Before she could say anything, tears began to flow down.
She knew that the Empress Dowager was a person who had a very high age and did not like people crying in front of her. Moreover, it was the new year, so she had been holding back her smile. However, her mother had only been dead for less than three months. She really couldn’t forget about it and be so happy as if nothing had happened.
In the past, when Noble Consort Liu was still around, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of gloom. Her entire life was bright and sunny. The so-called troubles were like ‘Mother won’t let go of the palace again’,’ Today’s dishes aren’t yummy’,’Brother says I’m fatter’, and so on.
Occasionally, when she quarreled with other princesses, All Niang would always help her get back at them. She did not even need her father to take action to deal with them.
However, ever since her mother died, she finally understood the various troubles of living.
Her father was more concerned about her than before, but the atmosphere was always heavy when they were together. The most common topic when they were together was about her mother. It was as if she still existed when they recalled Ah Niang over and over again, but the result was that their hearts ached even more. In Xian Yang Hall, the Empress Dowager still treated her well, just like before. However, she no longer spoke like a spoiled child without any restraint. She naturally learned to read the look in the Empress Dowager’s eyes because sometimes the Empress Dowager would suddenly change her expression. Although she did not scold her, it was clear that she did not want to talk to her at the moment.
With her father protecting her in the palace, no one dared to bully her, but they would not interact much with her. Everyone avoided her and had no choice but to gather together. They would not talk to her if they could, and they would not interact with her if they could. They were silently isolated from the crowd.
She didn’t know if she was over thinking things, but other than the people she had brought out from the Yonghe Palace, the other palace maids and eunuchs were no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Of course, it was also possible that she was not enthusiastic in the first place. She had always been self-centered and did not pay attention to it.
But now, she was paying attention.
She felt very tired. Everyone had changed.
“.. I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to disturb you celebrating the new year. It’s supposed to be a joyous day, but…” Princess Xuancheng cried and suddenly stopped. Only her tears were still flowing silently. “But I’m really too sad. If 1 keep holding it in, I’ll die.”
Xiao Baoxin took out a handkerchief to wipe Xuan Cheng’s tears, and his eyes could not help but turn red.
“It’s okay. I originally wanted to enter the palace to see you. But you know the rules of the palace. 1 can’t just come in and see you. You were right to tell the emperor to let me enter the palace.”
She wouldn’t tell him not to cry and that life had to go on.
This was nonsense. Who didn’t know that life would continue no matter what? Whoever was missing in this world would still exist.
If she had lost a loved one, anyone who told her not to cry would either be cold-blooded or only know how to talk.
Losing a loved one, her heart was in so much pain. How could she not cry? Could it be that he had to suppress it back into his body and let the sadness flood his body?
“It’s okay. If you want to cry, cry. Cry out all your sadness, reluctance, and sadness.”Xiao Baoxin held Princess Xuan Cheng’s hand, she was also very sad.
Princess Xuancheng was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. She was originally bright and excessively arrogant and cute. However, in just a few months after Noble Consort Liu’s death, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She quickly matured and could read people’s eyes.
This could be said to be an improvement, but the price of this improvement was too great..
