Taoxiang didn't know that her empress had taken the medicine behind her back, and she was extremely worried about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
Xie Ziyue also knew that her comfort was useless. After all, she was also panicking, so she could only calm down Taoxiang, because at the birthday banquet, Taoxiang, as her confidant, would play a greater role.
That night, in order to save the face of the Queen Mother and the Empress, Han Xianzong rested in Jinghe Palace.
Xie Ziyue didn't care. She had known for a long time that when her man was the master of the world, she was destined not to have him alone.
Before she was pregnant, there was only Han Xianzong in her world, so she was particularly concerned about Han Xianzong's whereabouts. Once he went to someone else's palace, she would feel sad that night.
But it's different now.
She has the identity of a mother-in-law, and the little one in her belly is really naughty. She must take time to play with her every evening, otherwise she will make a big fuss in her belly, and Xie Ziyue will be disturbed and unable to sleep.
Therefore, she could not spare any time to be lonely. Han Xianzong did not come to Weiyang Palace, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
On the second day, Concubine De took the initiative to come to Weiyang Palace.
De Fei was always straightforward, but after saying a few other words to Xie Ziyue, she went straight to the point:
"What do you think of what Ba Fujin said yesterday?"
When she asked this question, her eyes were complicated, and she felt a little dazed when she saw Xie Ziyue's extra loving temperament than before.
"What else can I do?" Xie Ziyue knew that Concubine De had no evil intentions towards her, but her personality was destined to prevent her from being able to communicate normally.
Besides, this is the harem, a place where anyone can defect.
"Mixed true and false." Xie Ziyue expressed her attitude.
She didn't believe what Bafujin said. After all, her family was related to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must be helping the Queen.
The relationship between the Queen Mother and Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty was tense because of her affairs before. The Queen Mother and the Queen must have been discussing how to make things difficult for themselves, and they would definitely not be holding back any good things.
Concubine De was curious: "Don't you want a prince?"
Since she became pregnant, everyone around her hopes that she can give birth to a prince, and since she is young and energetic, she also thinks it would be great to have a prince, so she also feels in her heart that it would be nice to be a prince.
Now that she knew that Xie Ziyue didn't care whether he was a man or a woman, and even didn't want to believe what Ba Fujin said, she felt strange.
"It's not bad to be a princess." Xie Ziyue looked warm: "The princess is the most considerate, she is a little cotton-padded jacket."
Gu Xuan was very happy when she heard this. She happened to be a little princess, and she was the best mother. Everyone else expected her to be a boy, but the mother-in-law thought she was a girl.
Sure enough, mother and daughter are connected heart to heart.
"Okay." Concubine De turned to talk about another thing: "That person made His Majesty unhappy before, but now he has finally settled the differences with His Majesty, and he is probably very happy in his heart. It is really irritating."
The queen did something like that and almost killed the emperor's heir, but because of her noble status and the fact that she had the queen mother as a back-up, it ended like this?
It’s really hard to accept!
"Anyway, you must be careful on the day of the birthday banquet." Concubine De said this and glanced at Xie Ziyue.
Xie Ziyue naturally understood and nodded to express her gratitude.
The harem was crowded with people, some were wary of the birthday banquet, while others were looking forward to the birthday banquet. Everyone had different ideas.
But the birthday banquet will not be brought forward because of anyone's expectations, nor will it be postponed because of anyone's fears.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet came as promised, amidst everyone's expectations or fears.
The Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world, and her fiftieth birthday is the most important event in the Forbidden City.
As early as a year ago, Si Yifang began to prepare the Queen Mother's dress. The Queen Mother's dress for her birthday required hundreds of top embroiderers, and the work took a full year.
Even so, it was still barely completed. The gorgeous dress is now in Shoukang Palace, being put on by Aunt Lanruo.
The Queen also came to Shoukang Palace early in the morning. The Queen Mother was her biggest supporter in the palace, and what she cared about most was the Queen Mother's attitude.
For example, this time, Han Xianzong could forgive her so easily, maybe it was because of the Queen Mother.
"My aunt is dressed up like this today. She looks very noble. If it weren't for my aunt's noble status, everyone would know my aunt's identity. If everyone didn't know, seeing how young my aunt is, they might think that my aunt is the mistress of some family."
The queen asked for advice.
What she meant was that the Queen Mother dressed up as if she was in her thirties. The Queen Mother was so amused that she couldn't help but smile:
"You are the only one with a sweet mouth. The Ai family is already fifty this year. How can you be so young as you say?"
"Auntie, you don't believe it?" The queen deliberately tried to tease the maids around her: "Look, are you really talking nonsense?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so happy, the maids also agreed. The group made the Queen Mother laugh, and she was also very happy.
Then he looked outside the hall with some concern: "Rong'er supposedly should be here by now, but I don't know that he hasn't come yet."
The Queen Mother had no sons, but a princess named Fukang.
Princess Fukang ranked fifth. The Queen Mother raised the princess with a lot of pampering.
The identities of the direct princesses are naturally different, so Princess Fukang married Marquis Gaoyang, but her line of succession was even thinner than that of her mother. After so many years of marriage, she did not even have a daughter.
If her own mother hadn't been the current Queen Mother, the Gaoyang Hou family, as a single heir, would have been in trouble long ago.
Princess Fukang has been seeking medical advice, but there is still no movement in her stomach. Gaoyang Marquis has been hereditary and has been a meritorious minister for two generations. Han Xianzong also tried to comfort her in many ways.
Even so, Princess Fukang's mother-in-law also complained deeply, but she suppressed it hard and did not burst out.
Although the Queen Mother is the most noble woman, she can't take care of much of her daughter's family affairs, and she can't visit her often. Princess Fukang can enter the palace from time to time, but she hasn't come in for two or three months.
So the Queen Mother is also thinking about her daughter and is waiting to see.
"Mother--"
When the Queen Mother said that Cao Cao had arrived, Princess Fukang had not yet arrived. She came as soon as she told him.
The Queen Mother saw her daughter whom she had not seen for a long time. Before she could have a heart-to-heart talk with her, she heard her daughter crying and complaining.
Princess Fukang cried and complained that her husband-in-law had recently had conflicts with her, and her mother-in-law encouraged her to take concubines.
The prince-in-law of this dynasty was not allowed to take concubines, but the Yan Dynasty also had moments of human concern.
There are three so-called unfilial piety, the most serious of which is not having an issue. It is impossible that the prince-in-law cannot have an issue just because he favors the princess.
Therefore, a husband-in-law is allowed to have concubines if he has nothing to produce after five years of marriage.
Princess Fukang and her concubine have been married for more than five years, and there is still no news. It is reasonable for the concubine to take concubines.
