Chapter 243 The Queen Summons
Fang Qingge slept so long that he had no idea what year it was.
Nanny Jiang was old and slept little, so she came out after resting for less than half an hour.
Just then, I saw Mu Man, who had not gone to rest, waiting at the door of the main house and whispering with the head palace maid Hai Tang.
"Madam Jiang, are you up?"
"Is the master awake?"
"The master is still sleeping! Should we knock on the door to wake him up?"
Nanny Jiang did not answer. She turned her head to look at the people in the yard who were busy with their own things, and asked again,
"Where are the two young masters?"
"Madam Jiang, the two young masters are very sensible. When they saw that the master was still asleep, they put on their clothes and came out quietly.
After feeding them, the nurse is now playing in the toy house!"
When Madam Jiang heard that the babies were very obedient, she said,
"There's nothing to do in our courtyard. Fang Liangdi hasn't slept well these days, so don't disturb her. Let her sleep a little longer!"
"Here."
The two senior palace maids responded and stood waiting at the door of the main house.
*
When Fang Qingge woke up, it was already ten o'clock.
Haitang looked at the door opening and asked hurriedly,
"Master, you are awake. Are you feeling unwell? I heard it from Mumian."
"Nothing, just a good night's sleep. After all, I'm in the prime of my life, right?!"
Fang Qingge smiled jokingly.
"Master, you are joking."
Two senior palace maids quickly brought water and helped her wash.
At this time,
Xiaohua, the little maid from the kitchen, ran over, bowed and asked,
"Master, Granny Liu from the kitchen wants to know what you would like to eat?"
Fang Qingge looked up at the sunlight outside and said,
"Let's just have a simple meal at this time! I want to save some space for a big meal at noon!"
"Well, I'll pass on the message."
Xiaohua went to pass the message with a giggle.
*
Just at this moment, I heard Xiao Douzi's report from outside the door.
"Reporting to Concubine Fang, the Queen has summoned you. She wants you to bring the two young masters with you."
"The Queen?"
Fang Qingge suddenly felt a headache when she heard this, and said to Madam Jiang with a wry smile,
"Look, Madam Jiang, things are happening again. I, an ugly daughter-in-law, can't avoid meeting my parents-in-law."
Nanny Jiang laughed.
"You! No wonder the prince repeatedly told me to take good care of you three before he left.
Everyone hopes to be summoned by the Queen, what a great honor! You are so lucky. Hehehe…
Don't worry, the Queen will not make things difficult for you for the sake of the two babies."
*
Fang Qingge sighed softly, and did not tell anyone about the cold reception she received when she first met the Queen. She said,
"I hope so! Let's go."
As he said this, he stood up to leave. At this time, Haitang, the senior palace maid who had followed him to the kitchen, also brought a bowl of porridge. Looking at Fang Qingge who was wearing a thin cloak, she hurriedly asked,
"Master, are you going out? Then drink this bowl of porridge first."
"Well, the Queen has summoned me, and I'm not hungry now. Come back and drink!"
As they spoke, the two little babies came out after their nanny wiped their hands clean. When they saw Fang Qingge, they shouted happily.
"Mother, mother, are we going to the Imperial Grandmother's place?"
"Well, you have to be polite when you go there, got it?"
"Yeah, yeah, the babies get it!"
Brother Xiao Bajiao answered happily.
My younger sister, however, smiled happily and said “Ahhhhh”.
"Yeah! I got another gift!"
After these words were spoken, everyone in Yi Qiu Courtyard started laughing.
"You little money-grubber. Go away!"
Fang Qingge smiled helplessly.
So, Nanny Jiang, Mu Mian followed Fang Qingge, and the two wet nurses carried the young masters to Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace,
After reporting to various levels,
The Queen's maid Qiaoyin came out and said,
"Madam Jiang, please bring the two young masters to see the Queen. Concubine Fang, please wait first!"
"this?"
Nanny Jiang glanced at Fang Qingge, patted her hands, and said,
"Fang Liangdi, please wait here first. I will take the two young masters in first."
"I'm fine, you guys go in first!"
The two children looked at their mother's expression and nodded sensibly.
"Mother, babies, be obedient."
"Well, let's go in!"
After the mother and her three children had finished giving their instructions, Nanny Jiang led them one by one and walked into the inner hall.
Watching their backs as they entered the inner hall, Fang Qingge looked up at the bright sun helplessly, stood obediently, and was once again forced to stand as punishment.
*
In the inner temple,
Queen Qin was still sitting on the phoenix chair with a dignified look. When she saw the prince's brother Xiao Bajiao, who looked exactly like his childhood, the light in her eyes flickered a few times and the surprise on her face could no longer be hidden.
Nanny Jiang knelt down and saluted respectfully to the Queen,
"May the Queen be blessed with happiness and peace of mind."
As soon as the babies saw the gorgeously dressed woman sitting on the throne, they knew it was their royal grandmother.
"Kutta kutta" He stepped forward and bowed, cupping his two little hands, and said in a baby voice,
"May the Empress Dowager live in peace and happiness."
"Hey, come here quickly and let the Royal Grandmother take a good look."
Queen Qin couldn't help herself and stretched out her hand to greet them.
Without waiting for Madam Jiang to say anything, the two babies ran over affectionately.
My sister Xiao Huajiao said sweetly,
"Wow! The Royal Grandmother is so beautiful!"
With a "puchi" sound, the Queen laughed again.
Aunt Liu beside her had tears in her eyes and had already lost her temper and started talking.
"Empress, the little grandson looks exactly like the crown prince when he was a child!"
"Yes! I just heard from the emperor, and today I saw it and it is true! I have already asked the emperor to give names to the two children.
Since the emperor has approved of their nicknames, I have no choice but to do so no matter how unhappy I am. But it is absolutely impossible for me to call them by their names."
The Queen Mother touched the two children's heads and spoke to Madam Liu.
"Since the emperor has bestowed a name on you, your Highness, please do not worry about the nickname."
"Ah."
The elder brother, Xiao Bajiao, listened to what the Royal Grandmother said with his ears pricked up. He pursed his lips towards his younger sister but did not say anything else.
Queen Qin looked at the two fair, tender, beautiful and delicate babies in front of her, and felt happy. She reached out to hug one and kiss the other and said proudly,
"The two little grandchildren of the Imperial Grandmother are so cute!"
The joy and excitement in his eyes made her nose sore.
The chief palace maid Miaoyin quickly handed the Queen a handkerchief. The Queen took it and hurriedly turned her head to wipe away her tears.
Madam Liu stepped forward and gently patted the Queen on the back and said,
"Empress, please don't get excited. The prince finally has children, not two at once. We are so happy! Let's see who dares to speak harshly to you."
Nanny Jiang also stepped forward and said,
"My Queen, I haven't seen you in the past two years. You haven't changed at all! You are still as beautiful and dazzling as ever."
"Madam Jiang, you've worked hard. Since the prince trusts you, you should spend more time to take good care of the two children!"
