Chapter 38
This crying lasted for a full hour, and when Zheng Xiyao calmed down, she wiped her tears embarrassedly, while hiding and refusing to look up.

Duke Qing had already guessed what his daughter was thinking, so he sent her to rest without staying longer.

Zheng Xiyao originally wanted to visit her grandmother, but her grandmother's personal maid said that she was resting, so she couldn't disturb her, so she had to go to pay her respects early tomorrow morning.

Back in her room, she found that the layout of the room hadn't changed at all, it was exactly the same as when she left.

The familiar scene made her feel at ease and at ease.Besides, without someone harassing her, it was rare for her to have a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, when it was still daylight, Zheng Xiyao was awakened by a loud noise.

She climbed out of bed in a daze, opened the door dumbfounded:
There were two rows of palace maids and servants standing at the door, and when they saw her, they all saluted and greeted her: "Your Majesty, Wanan."

"What are you doing here?"

"Qi Madam, I am afraid that Madam will not get used to it, so I am here to serve you."

"No, you guys go back, I'm at my home, I don't need you to wait on me." Zheng Xiyao firmly refused.

Seeing Concubine Chen's insistence, everyone had no choice but to turn back.

"They're all gone, what are you still doing here?" Zheng Xiyao looked at the female officer who stayed behind suspiciously.

"Reporting to your lord, the servants are still wearing the bureau's clothes, and pay homage to your lord."

"Shangfu Bureau? What's the matter?"

"I would like to report to your empress, the dress required for the conferring ceremony needs to be tried on by the empress herself."

Zheng Xiyao, she forgot about the matter of being a queen.

"Okay, then you can bring the dress here, Bengong to try it on."

She thought it was over.The chubby palace maid next to her stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is the cook of Shangshi Bureau. Please refer to Your Majesty. The list of meals required for the harem banquet in the Empress Conferment Ceremony needs to be reviewed by your Majesty."

"Forehead…"

"Your Majesty, the maidservant is the Secretary of the Shangyi Bureau. The etiquette rules for the post-sealing ceremony need to be checked by the Empress to see if there are any omissions."

"Your Majesty, the maidservant is the Secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau. During the conferring ceremony...

"Okay." Zheng Xiyao interrupted them with a frown: "Why can't you continue with this empress ceremony without me?"

She looked at the crowd coldly: "It's really not possible, it's okay to not hold the queen conferring ceremony, you can report back to the emperor as much as you want, I think it's okay to be a concubine."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone knelt down in panic and pleaded guilty: "My lord, forgive me!"

Zheng Xiyao sneered: "Go back and tell Your Majesty that I'm only staying in the Palace for a few days, and I'll be back in a few days."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Everyone left quietly.Zheng Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when she went to see her grandmother, she made the old man sad again. They hugged each other and cried for a while. The old man was in a bad mood, so she left.

On the way, I happened to meet my sister-in-law and nephews.

"Mistress Wanan." The woman opposite had a strong bookish air, wearing a light yellow skirt, demure and elegant.

"It's my sister-in-law. There is no need to be formal. Everyone in my family calls me Yaoyao. My sister-in-law should call me that too." Zheng Xiyao smiled.

The woman smiled sweetly and nodded at her.

"This is my nephew, right?" Zheng Xiyao pinched the boy's plump cheeks with a smile. The boy's soft and cute appearance made her feel so soft.

"Hao Ran, call someone quickly." The sister-in-law punched the boy a few times.The boy timidly looked at the bright and attractive woman in front of him, and said softly, "Yaoyao is well."

Zheng Xiyao was taken aback, it was the first time she heard a child call her that.The sister-in-law looked at her in panic and explained: "Children are not sensible." She patted the boy on the head: "Call me aunt."

Zheng Xiyao smiled and waved her hands: "It doesn't matter, the name is for people, you can call me anything. And I also like Haoran to call me that. From now on, Haoran can call me Yaoyao in private."

For some reason, she liked this nephew very much, hugged him and never let go.

"How is this possible? It's not polite."

"There's nothing wrong with it, I can do it if I say yes." Zheng Xiyao responded indifferently, with a gentle tone but irrefutable.

Zheng Xiyao played with her nephew for a while, and let the boy play by himself a bit too much.

"Sister-in-law is really blessed, Haoran is a lovely child." She said to the woman who was paying attention.

"Yes, since I married Si Qi, having this pair of children is the happiest thing for me." The woman smiled at the corner of her mouth, and looked at the child with soft eyes.

"If I had a life like my sister-in-law, I wouldn't change if you gave me ten positions." Zheng Xiyao joked.

"I know, I will cherish it. Duke Qing's Mansion is my home, and Siqi is my family, and I will always remember it. The Xiao family...will reap the fruits of their own will today." Her sister-in-law, that is, Xiao Yuqing seriously assured .

Zheng Xiyao shook her head first, then nodded at the end, and hugged her in relief: "You are a member of my Zheng family, and you have been all your life. With Duke Qing's mansion and me, you are the Zheng Xiao family. So, don't worry, brother Live on."

Xiao Yuqing couldn't help but shed tears the moment Zheng Xiyao hugged her.From the day after the Xiao family's failed rebellion ransacked the family and wiped out the family, she has not had a day of peace of mind, like a knife hanging above her head, ready to fall at any time.

She is a side branch of the Xiao family. Before she married Zheng Siqi, she had an unsatisfactory life in the Xiao family. This time the Xiao family lost, and if the royal family pursued her, she would definitely be involved.She herself has nothing to do when the time comes, mainly the child and husband, she can't let go of it.

She didn't really feel relieved until Zheng Xiyao comforted her and said that everything was over.

Only the happy life now is what she wants to protect.

Fortunately, she has a powerful sister-in-law, Xiao Yuqing is lucky.

"Well, miss, the palace sent someone." The butler interrupted the two of them.

Zheng Xiyao was taken aback, a group of people left just this morning, why did they come again?

"Director Wang? Why are you here?" Zheng Xiyao was surprised to see that it was Wang Dequan who came.

"Your Majesty's servant brought this to the empress." He said and presented a food box.Zheng Xiyao opened it and took a look.

It is a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus crisps.

"Your Majesty said, Madam has been back for a long time, she must miss this mouthful, and specially asked this old servant to send it to Madam to relieve the pain of lovesickness." Wang Dequan flatteringly explained.

Zheng Xiyao was speechless, she had only been back for two days, and she had done so many tricks.

"It seems that His Majesty cares about you, sister." The sister-in-law joked aside.

Zheng Xiyao smiled awkwardly, she had nothing to do with the male lead's behavior, so she had to accept the food box: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Wang Dequan was astonished by Concubine Chen's bland response, and forced by Concubine Chen's momentum, he had no choice but to go back to the palace to report.

Zheng Xiyao bid farewell to her sister-in-law with the food box and returned to her residence.

She picked up one of them and tasted it.Not to mention, the dim sum in the palace is very delicious, at least she can't eat this taste in other places.

I don't care about the little thoughts about the hero in my heart.

Maybe it was because she ate too much accumulated food from the desserts she ate in the evening, and her stomach upset in the middle of the night made her toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

She had to get up in the middle of the night to prepare for activities and digest food.

Zheng Xiyao wore a coat and walked out of the bedroom barefoot.

Then... staring blankly at the man who rolled in through the window.

Zheng Xiyao: ...

Liu Siyan: ...

The two looked at each other.
