The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 448 Leaving the Palace and Returning Home (1)

When talking about business, the Queen's smiling eyes suddenly dimmed, as if covered by a layer of haze.

The queen's eyes gradually became solemn, revealing deep worry and uneasiness.

A mother worries when her son is away from home. The prince's trip to Jiangnan this time was undoubtedly an extremely difficult and risky move for the queen.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", but the prince is caught in the political whirlpool of the Tianyuan Dynasty and cannot escape.

Over the years, the prince has been walking on thin ice with every step he takes, cautiously, fearing that he would fall into an abyss from which there is no escape if he is not careful.

The queen knew very well that her son had been a deep-minded person since childhood, but this was not his original intention, but was forced upon him by the environment of court struggles.

You know, Crown Prince Yuan Ruiyuan is not only his son, but also the pillar of the Huo family and the backbone of the 500,000-strong army.

Such a heavy burden has been on his shoulders since he was a child. It would be difficult for anyone to bear it, let alone be able to enjoy it.

Noticing the Queen's low mood, Yang Qi wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.

After all, my concerns about the Crown Prince's safety are probably no less than those of the Queen.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Qi had to change the subject and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Qi has been in the palace for several months. If she stays any longer, I'm afraid it will attract too much attention."

Even Bai Yuxin, who was previously favored by Concubine Hua, had never spent as long in the palace as herself.

Now that the poison in the Queen's body has been completely eradicated, it is time for me to return to the Duke's Mansion.

The Queen also knew what Yang Qi was worried about: "You, my child, are really pleasing to me.

Therefore, I just want you to stay in the palace longer and talk to me more.

Now, it's time to go back to the Duke's Mansion."

Duke Song Hongwen of Song has never paid much attention to his third daughter, Yang Qi. Although this fact has not been widely spread in the imperial city, it is not difficult for those who are interested to find out, let alone for the Queen Mother.

Even so, the Queen could not keep Yang Qi in the palace forever.

I think, according to the current situation in the court and how much Yuan Yi and I like Yang Qi, Yang Qi's life in the Duke of Song's Mansion will be much easier.

"Thank you for your love, my lady. These days have been a rare time of warmth and comfort for Yang Qi!

Let’s not talk about anything else for now, just your skill in making pastries is truly amazing!

When I was in Xihu before, my stepmother praised your cooking skills highly. "

Ever since Yang Qi entered the palace, the Empress, Princess Yuanyi and even everyone in the Qianqing Palace have taken great care of her.

Whatever Yang Qi needed or wanted, the Queen would deliver it to him at the first opportunity.

Even if Yang Qi didn't mention something, the Queen would arrange it thoughtfully.

During the time in the palace, the Queen Mother would occasionally receive letters from General Huo sent from Xihu. In each letter, Mrs. Huo would include a letter to Yang Qi.

Therefore, even if the Queen Mother did not mention it directly, Yang Qi knew very well in her heart that the Queen Mother probably already knew that she had recognized the Duke of Yingguo and his wife as her adoptive parents.

"Oh? This is quite new. My sister-in-law would actually praise me like this behind other people's backs?"

The Queen showed a hint of surprise, "Over the years, if I have figured out any new cake recipes, I will immediately inform my sister-in-law who is far away in Xihu.

Now it seems that the cakes made by my sister-in-law according to the recipe should taste very good!"

Originally, Bai Qi and the fifth prince Yuan Ruiyin secretly surrounded Xihu in the name of bandits. The letters between the Queen and Mrs. Huo were relatively few, and most of them were about family affairs and food.

Now that the Duke of England has successfully resolved the threat near West Hu, the Queen and Mrs. Huo have been communicating more frequently.

Nanny Zhu and the others worked quickly and packed all the luggage before lunch, arranging all the items in order.

When Nanny Zhu looked at the three full boxes of luggage, she couldn't help but feel dazed. She couldn't help but remember that a few months ago, the young lady had only planned to go to the palace, and she didn't bring any extra luggage except a set of spare clothes. However, during this period of time, the Queen Mother and Princess Yuanyi had added gifts from time to time, and these gifts piled up like a mountain, and there were so many items.

All this is thanks to the careful arrangements and arrangements made by the Queen and Princess Yuanyi.

This time when the young lady returned home, she was personally accompanied by Aunt Rong Pei, which made Yang Qi feel even more honored.

When Yang Qi stepped into the Duke of Song's mansion, the silence of the entire mansion was broken by her arrival. The emotions of the people in the mansion were like the tide, rippling layer by layer.

Especially when Rong Pei read out the Queen's long list of rewards in front of all the masters in the Duke of Song's Mansion, and she showed her familiarity, love and respect for Yang Qi, the mentality of everyone in the Duke of Song's Mansion changed dramatically.

After arranging for Mother Rong to respectfully escort Rong Pei out of the house, the old lady and Song Hongwen finally had time to calm down and carefully look at Yang Qi, whom they had not seen for several months.

Although everything that happened today was somewhat unexpected for the old lady, she had experienced many ups and downs after all, so she accepted it relatively quickly.

After all, Yang Qi also studied with Mr. Yang, and although his fame in Beijing was not as loud as Yang Lan's, he was definitely well-known.

However, for Song Hongwen, the situation was completely different. He had always believed that Yang Qi was just an insignificant person in the mansion and could not cause any trouble at all. Not to mention what he could do outside the mansion.

But today, when he saw Yang Qi coming back from the palace, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Yang Qi had only been in the palace for a few months, but she seemed to have been reborn. Her temperament had become more outstanding, and her aura was stronger than before.

Song Hongwen sat upright in the main seat, and his eyes, which were originally full of contempt for Yang Qi, changed at this moment.

His eyes were no longer filled with contempt, but with scrutiny and awe. He knew very well that the environment in the palace was complex and changeable, and the waters were as deep as the sea. To be able to stay in such a place safely for several months, Yang Qi must have his own unique abilities.
