How can it be just you alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Cheng would quickly reply with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Eldest Princess is a big girl now, the Emperor specifically arranged for a Sister to teach her, how could I dare disturb her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Hui would just laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, I almost forgot about that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, she’d lead the topic to elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to the Eldest Princess, they all tacitly stopped mentioning her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But actually...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Honored Lady Dou was moved away, the Emperor decreed that she was not allowed to see the Eldest Princess again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need to say how devastated Honored Lady Dou was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eldest Princess didn’t even want to see her mother consort, didn’t even make a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just stayed in the residence, diligently studying with the Sister everyday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning palace rules and etiquette, learning manners, poetry, calligraphy, and such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But embroidery work was never picked up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps... she really wasn’t interested in doing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her mother consort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also wanted to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking of how her mother consort forced her to do needlework with that dreadful and fierce look, she immediately wanted to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much her servants persuaded her, she remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she didn’t want to go, she just didn’t go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mistresses in the rank of consort were not ones to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lower-ranked and the Honored Ladies were even less daring to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Consort Shih Pin was not content, but despite her discontent, she was just a minor rank and dared not do anything openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So overall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harem remained peaceful and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Hui and Consort Cheng helped manage palace affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concubines didn’t come to pay their respects daily, so she could still enjoy a lazy morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the palace, there was no one who could bully her into kneeling anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing suddenly felt much freer in the harem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go wherever she wants?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eat whatever she wants!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laugh however she wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do whatever she wants?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would easily punish or blame her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly, the Empress Dowager was still above her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, the Empress Dowager was just a bird in a gilded cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not free to decide where to go, what to say, or what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her relationship with the Emperor had eased a bit over the past two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Empress Dowager could no longer stir up any storms, as she was surrounded by the Emperor’s people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Respected, but also kept at a distance, her position was just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old lady who couldn’t even protect herself certainly wouldn’t be bored enough to bother her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This life is truly without fault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing sat in the courtyard, enjoying the warm breeze, watching the blood-red sunset, and uttered a satisfied sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so nice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the presence of such a beautiful scene, a more literary woman might compose a poem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she wasn’t very talented and only thought of one line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The setting sun is infinitely good, only it’s near dusk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the mood wasn’t quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind, regardless, it’s still a poem, isn’t it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She happily recited the poem while swinging on the swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little life was as sweet as honey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when she was oblivious in her delight, suddenly someone gave her a strong push from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her exclamation, the swing soared high up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her flustered confusion, she turned to see Zhao Junyao standing behind her, looking at her with a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, it’s too high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she came to sit here every day, she hadn’t actually swung this high in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, suddenly so high up, she was very scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao stood below, smiling and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you fall, I’ll catch you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he gave another push, even higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was so frightened she quickly shut her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, it’s too high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You used to swing even higher, why are you scared now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forgot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, please let me down, I’m scared...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled on that last word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she was truly frightened, Zhao Junyao took his chance, leapt up to hold her securely, pretending to be disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you scared? You won’t fall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-05-30T07:41:33.085Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","cca3da65a3535e42895edcc5b3d5ec4568bd9e54caae9a3b6c61af0da9e59b67","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1016","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1014",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
