The children quickly started playing together.
The Emperor saw this and said a few words to Gu Chengrui before walking towards the imperial study.
On this side, Zhou Ying and the others asked someone to bring a few stools and sat down to chat.
Soon, the people attending the palace banquet arrived one after another.
Seeing the Grand Empress Dowager here, everyone quickly gathered around. However, the women from families with young, unmarried girls started to surround the Grand Empress Dowager to chat.
Their main goal was to leave a good impression and secure a good position for their daughter.
Seeing this, the Grand Empress Dowager no longer had the mood to watch the children play. She returned to Pheonix Palace.
“Let’s go visit Wanning,” Mingyu said.
“Yeah, let’s take the children away. They must be tired from playing.” Zhou Ying said. After speaking, she gathered all four children and said, “Are you all tired from playing? Let’s go rest and have some water. We’ll come back and play later.”
“Okay, Auntie Zhou.” The Eldest Princess looked at the gathering of people and lost her initial excitement. She pulled Yangyang by the hand and walked toward the palace.
Guoguo was exhausted, so she hugged her leg directly and refused to let go. Zhou Ying had no choice but to embrace her in her arms.
Only Zhuangzhuang, who came late, still wanted to play. But after being stopped by Mingyu, he was also lifted into Mingyu’s arms and brought away. Seeing this, Zhou Ying reminded the mothers of the children who wanted to play to pay attention to their children’s safety before walking back with Guoguo.
However, after walking a few steps, she saw Yangyang start to be lazy and not want to walk. She stepped forward and picked him up, asking, “Are you tired? Remember to change your clothes and drink more water when you return to your room.”
Seeing this, Mingyu took the hand of the Eldest Princess and headed toward Pheonix Palace together.
After entering, the child went to their respective nannies, and they were asked to help change their clothes and feed them some water.
After changing into clean clothes, Guoguo and Yangyang fell asleep directly.
Only then did Zhou Ying realize that Gu Wanning was not in the palace. She hurriedly looked at Nanny Yu and asked, “Granny, where is the empress?” “Madam Gu, today is not only the state banquet but also the consort conferring ceremony. The Empress is not at ease and has gone to finalize the details.” Zhou Ying nodded after hearing her say this and did not ask any further questions.
Just then, more and more guests arrived, so the two helped greet the guests.
When Zhou Ying saw Elderly Madam Zhou, she nodded and left.
Madam Zhou looked at her back and knew about her ever-rising status. She regretted what she did back then for a moment.
However, the mistake had already been made. She could only sigh that the Zhou family did not have the fortune of being the Emperor’s favourite.
Soon, Gu Wanning rushed over. Zhou Ying looked at her pregnant body, her forced smile, and her heart ached.
She then stepped forward and asked, “Is everything alright?”
“Yes, everything’s been finalized. I’m just afraid of making a mistake, so I went ahead and confirmed it.” Gu Wanning replied.
“Alright, do a few polite greetings and return to your room to rest. Nothing is more important than the safety of you and your child.”
Gu Wanning nodded. She greeted a few guests and then used the excuse of being tired so she could return to her room to rest.
Seeing this, the crowd did not make things difficult for her. After all, her belly was getting big, and it was inevitable that she could not stand around.
However, they were curious about the five women who had passed the consort selection, as well as Princess Zhi Shan, and what concubine title the Emperor would give them.
After listening to the crowd, Zhou Ying turned to Mingyu and asked, “Who do you think will enter the palace?”
“It’s hard to say. But the higher the woman’s maiden family status, the more likely she is not to enter the palace.” Mingyu said this and looked at the high-spirited Madam Chu, “For example, Miss Chu, who has always been very high-profile..”
