In short, this family banquet was very lively on the surface, but behind the scenes, people had ulterior motives, and not many people had any good intentions.
Back at Weiyang Palace, Xie Ziyue directly asked Taoxiang to spread the news, saying that she was unwell and wanted to thank guests behind closed doors.
Anyway, Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty agreed that she did not need to go to pay respects to the queen, so she would stay in Weiyang Palace as a matter of course and not go anywhere.
After all, Tao Xiang was not as thoughtful as Xie Ziyue, and she was stunned when she heard this: "But Madam, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, and I have to go out then."
Although the current Queen Mother is not the biological mother of Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty, after all, she carries the title of Queen Mother, and no one can be absent from the Queen Mother's birthday.
As long as she is a woman in the harem who has not yet entered the cold palace.
Otherwise, with the word "filial piety" and her status as Queen Mother, it would be too easy to deal with anyone.
Xie Ziyue was stunned.
Then he became thoughtful.
She actually forgot about this. This year is the Queen Mother's birthday. She is fifty, which is a big day for the entire Forbidden City.
Although she was pregnant, it was precisely because of her pregnancy that she could not miss such a big occasion, otherwise she would be criticized by many people.
She sighed: "There is really no way to escape this matter. Except for that day, I will not see anyone in the palace the rest of the time, except Your Majesty."
Tao Xiang nodded in agreement, and then she couldn't help but feel silly and happy.
"Why are you laughing?" Xie Ziyue was surprised when she saw Taoxiang couldn't hold back her lips.
This girl has become more and more stable. It is rare that she is so lively and cheerful. She doesn't know what happy thing happened today.
"I know that the queen is pregnant with the little prince. I am happy for the queen." Taoxiang raised her face, her eyes full of joy.
The Gu Xuan in Xie Ziyue's belly was not very happy.
She is a girl! She is not a boy!
Why did Tao Xiang misunderstand her?
She kept moving her little hands and feet, which was a bit loud, so Xie Ziyuean touched her.
Seeing this, Tao Xiang was delighted and said: "The little prince can hear what the slave is saying. The little prince is too smart and is responding to the slave."
"Let me see! She thinks you are talking nonsense." Xie Ziyue said helplessly, "Do you believe what you said at the banquet?"
She is not naive. Although Ba Fujin is a medical girl, her master once had a relationship with the Queen Mother's natal family. Maybe what happened today was the Queen Mother's instruction. It is unknown.
As soon as she said this, she suddenly felt that the movements of the child in her belly were much softer, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe she really is a daughter, and a smart daughter.
"What does the empress mean by this?" Taoxiang was confused: "Does the empress think that Ba Fujin is talking nonsense?"
"Who knows?" Xie Ziyue stretched her waist, and her belly became more and more bulging: "She was so sure at the banquet that she was pregnant with a prince, and put me in the spotlight. I'm afraid many people in the harem were Keep an eye on the emperor."
She hates being taken advantage of most. She used to be alone, but now she has a child. She sees that she can't escape in a few days, and she doesn't feel confident.
She was originally tired today and wanted to go back to the palace to rest early, but now that the conversation had reached this point, she asked Tao Xiang, who was full of anger over there, to ask Imperial Physician Kang to come over.
Since Xie Ziyue almost had a miscarriage last time, Imperial Physician Kang has been appointed by Han Xianzong to be responsible for the safety of the emperor's heir. Now Xie Ziyue's Ping'an pulse is diagnosed by Imperial Physician Kang.
Tao Xiang nodded and went about her business.
Seeing Taoxiang leave in a hurry, Xie Ziyue lowered her head and looked helplessly at her belly: "Why don't you stop?"
His tone and eyes were very doting.
Gu Xuan didn't expect that her mother-in-law would talk to her, so she was even happier now and continued to interact with her.
Concubine, you are so smart, I am really a girl!
It was a pity that Xie Ziyue had no way of knowing her daughter's inner thoughts even though she was connected heart to heart. She just touched wherever she touched in her belly and played with her child.
"Mom, I really want to hug you." Xie Ziyue said softly.
Gu Xuan made a move.
From her perspective, she could see the celestially beautiful Xie Ziyue, radiant with motherhood, looking at her as if she were some rare treasure.
And she actually calls herself mother!
Gu Xuan wanted to act coquettishly again. She only regretted that she was still a fetus. If she was born in the future, she would have to stay in her mother's arms every day!
Mom looked so beautiful and fragrant at first sight. If she could be held by Mom, she would be the happiest little princess in the world!
Of course, it's very good now. In the harem where there are dangers everywhere, my mother protects her with all her heart, and she still loves her so much!
She almost wanted to cry.
Gu Xuan thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more moved she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but act coquettishly.
The consequence of this was that she moved for a long time. When the doctor came, she could only lie there because of exhaustion, and her pulse was much faster.
Imperial Physician Kang took his pulse in confusion and said that the emperor seemed a little active today.
Xie Ziyue wanted to laugh inexplicably and nodded: "Well, she keeps moving."
Dr. Kang felt relieved after hearing this, "The emperor is healthy and the empress is in good health."
"Then, Doctor Kang, can you prescribe another decoction for me to make the emperor more stable?"
Xie Ziyue thought for a moment and then asked.
Imperial Physician Kang frowned, with disapproval in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the emperor is already very healthy now. If supplementary medicine is used, it will affect the production in the future, which may be detrimental to both the emperor and you."
It’s not that there are no powerful miscarriage-preserving drugs, but they are so effective that it can easily lead to dystocia.
Because the medicine is so effective, it will be difficult for the child to come out by then.
Xie Ziyue understood what the imperial doctor meant, but she didn't dare to gamble.
So many people were staring at her, but she only had one pair of eyes. If the child was gone, she would have no child.
Even if it affects production, we must first have the opportunity to produce.
Xie Ziyue didn't hesitate at all and just said: "If there is medicine, Imperial Physician Kang will do it."
The Queen Mother's birthday will be in a few days, and Xie Ziyue is most worried about that day.
Doctor Kang sighed repeatedly, and could only say that he personally delivered the medicine in the afternoon, and was sent away respectfully by Tao Xiang.
Xie Ziyue was exhausted by this time and could only be helped by Taoxiang to go to bed to rest.
In the afternoon, Imperial Physician Kang came as expected and brought a few pills. He carefully told Xie Ziyue not to take more pills and to take them according to the method he said.
Xie Ziyue looked at a few dark pills and finally felt much more at ease.
She nodded and thanked: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Doctor Kang. I don't want the third person to know about this."
Imperial Physician Kang looked at her stunning appearance and sighed in his heart.
I can only hope that the delivery will be safe by then. I really feel sorry for the parents in the world.
Children in the harem, especially the first child, are indeed prone to trouble.
He left worriedly.
Xie Ziyue took the pills herself while Tao Xiang didn't come in. When Tao Xiang came in to wait on her, she didn't reveal any flaws.
