Chapter 432 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
"Is the Imperial Sister back?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenghao put down his red-ink jade brush and looked out the door with a serious face.
Zhou Youning's carriage has arrived outside the palace.
Although she and Zhou Chenghao are not biological siblings, the occasion and appearance must be maintained.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chenghao rubbed his hands and looked at the eunuch next to him.
"Prepare a sedan chair for me. I will personally welcome my sister back to the palace."
The eunuch said solemnly, "Yes."
Chengyang Palace.
"Where is Ningning?"
In the entire palace, no one is more eager for Zhou Youning to return than Shi Li.
If her status as the empress dowager had not prohibited her, she would have definitely gone faster than Zhou Chenghao.
Xin Tang came in with a plate of freshly baked dim sum. Seeing Shi Li spinning in circles, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
"Your Highness, please sit down and have a rest for a while and have some snacks. Her Royal Highness the Princess will be here soon."
Shi Li raised her hand and was about to refuse in a righteous manner, but someone took advantage of her opportunity and broke in.
The aroma of the snacks unexpectedly entered my nose, arousing the gluttony dormant in my stomach.
"Well...it's okay to eat something."
Shi Li walked over shyly, and her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the uniquely shaped snacks on the plate.
"I have also prepared milk tea, please try it, Madam."
Xin Tang had a gentle expression. He first handed the warm handkerchief to Shi Li to wipe her hands, then picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of milk tea with the aroma of milk.
He was so gentle and considerate that he treated her like a baby who knew nothing.
Shi Li felt a little embarrassed. She smiled at Xin Tang, then picked up the snack on the plate with dignity and took a bite.
Whoa whoa whoa!
It’s so delicious that it’s unmatched!
[I am greedy after watching the host eat. I want to order takeout!!!]
[I was caught off guard by the traditional dim sum and I want to buy some to try~]
[The dim sum is very ordinary, but the host eats it with great relish~]
Shi Li no longer had any extra attention to pay to the barrage, after all, eating was the top priority.
Otherwise, the snack will get cold after a while and the taste will definitely be a little worse.
Happy times always pass quickly.
Shi Li had just finished eating two pieces of dessert and drinking a cup of hot milk tea when light and hurried footsteps were heard outside the palace.
Afterwards, the pearl curtain hanging at the entrance of the palace was lifted, and a beautiful girl walked in and threw herself directly into Shi Li's arms.
"Lili, I miss you so much!"
Shi Li quickly swallowed the snack in her mouth and touched Zhou Youning's hair. "I miss you, too. I count the days and look forward to your return."
Hearing this, the palace maid who was originally standing next to her with a smile stiffened her smile a little, and then looked at Xin Tang helplessly.
Otherwise, how could she become a female official? When Shi Li heard this, she was still able to maintain a dignified and appropriate smile, without any abnormality.
Zhou Youning hugged Shi Li for a while, and finally he was willing to look up.
"Lili, has anyone bullied you during the time I was away from the palace? Why do I feel like you've lost weight?"
Thin?
Shi Li subconsciously touched her face and immediately denied it, "I haven't lost weight, not at all."
If you say I was bullied, it might be possible.
She dared not admit that she was thin.
Being so dishonest will easily lead to being struck by lightning.
"Well, now that I'm back, I will protect Lili!"
Zhou Youning raised his hand and wanted to touch her face, but considering that there were other people around, he finally put his hand down.
Afterwards, Zhou Youning looked back and saw that Xin Tang was a new face. She immediately narrowed her eyes and revealed the majesty of a princess again.
"I am going to talk to the Queen Mother. You all should leave."
Xin Tang saw that Zhou Youning was targeting her, but she remained calm. She knelt down and saluted with another palace maid, then retreated calmly.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhou Youning immediately grabbed Shi Li's sleeve, stared at her seriously, and spoke in a serious tone.
"Lili, after Qi Changchuan returned to the court, did he target you?"
