Han Xianzong was still not at ease, and finally asked Laifu to go with Taoxiang and Xie Ziyue to get some fresh air in the imperial garden.
Laifu was worthy of being someone who could sneak into the emperor's side. He knew that being too close to the emperor was not conducive to the concubine and his servants talking, so he followed from a distance to ensure that he could see them and not delay things.
"Your Majesty, Princess Fukang's words are too irritating." Taoxiang was disgusted with the Queen's group of followers and complained when she saw that there was no one around.
"She has been childless for many years, and her concubine's family is trying to get her a concubine. It's normal for a dog to bite people when it gets angry." Xie Ziyue's beautiful eyes were filled with a smile:
"If there was a fire in her own backyard, I'm afraid she wouldn't have enough time to meddle in so many other things."
She seemed to be sighing when she said this, but her eyes couldn't hide it.
Taoxiang suddenly became happy: "Empress, are you planning to..."
Xie Ziyue can survive in this cannibal harem, so she is not a dodder who knows nothing and needs to rely on Han Xianzong to survive.
According to the ruthlessness of women in the harem, if she doesn't have some scheming skills, even with the favor of Han Xianzong, it will only make her die faster.
She wanted to let the Queen Mother know that although she had been tricked by them before and was still suffering, she was not without the ability to fight back.
Since the Queen Mother and the Queen were targeting her child, she also let the Queen Mother taste what it was like to have her only daughter being targeted.
After all, the walls in the imperial garden have ears. Xie Ziyue didn't want to say anything more, so she just smiled.
Of course Gu Xuan understood.
Ying Ying Ying, although she has not been born yet, she has been protected by her mother, concubine and father for a long time.
Because of Xie Ziyue's motherly love, Xie Ziyue in her eyes cared very much about herself and the child in her belly, full of tenderness.
But the real Xie Ziyue is retributive and can use her own advantages very well.
Because of the filter of mother-in-law, Gu Xuan felt that she would like any kind of mother-in-law.
Anyway, the mother-in-law will never hurt herself. This is the person who brought her into this world. She will love herself more than anyone else.
Of course, I will love her more than anyone else in the world.
Xie Ziyue's guess was correct.
She loved the unborn Gu Xuan just as the Queen Mother loved Princess Fukang.
Although Princess Fukang was only stabbed a few times by Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty, it was like a lump in the Queen Mother's heart. She made a decision in her heart at that moment when she was still hesitant.
After Xie Ziyue left, the banquet returned to normal.
I saw her chatting and laughing with the flattering female relatives, and seemed to pick up the cup at hand casually.
She drank the tea in one gulp, then tipped the cup upside down on the table.
An inconspicuous palace maid behind her saw this scene and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her side, she quietly left the banquet.
The Queen Mother then took her daughter's hand and patted the back of her hand as if to comfort her. The meaning was self-evident.
Princess Fukang became happy when she received the Queen Mother's look.
Of course she knew the Queen Mother's plan, and it was precisely because she knew the Queen Mother's plan that she was so happy.
Han Xianzong didn't know anything about this. After all, he had important matters to attend to. Now that the gifts had been sent, he had nothing to do if he stayed here. It was normal to come back in the evening.
After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, he left with a group of eunuchs.
As soon as he left, the Queen Mother became the most noble person. At this time, the Queen praised Princess Fukang a few words, and she completely forgot about the gloom just now and continued to indulge in the flattery of everyone.
This complacency lasted until Xie Ziyue came back.
After knowing that the queen mother was planning to take action, she was no longer angry when she saw Xie Ziyue, but felt a little indescribable pleasure.
She just said that about herself, but she didn't know if she could continue to be proud after the child was gone...
Princess Fukang's eyes were not concealed, so Xie Ziyue looked at her proud eyes and didn't understand what she was so proud of.
She was a little confused, thinking that there was something wrong with the other person's mind, so she withdrew her gaze.
"Empress, when I came over there just now, I saw a very tall bamboo building over there. It looked very nice. After asking the maids and eunuchs, I found out that it was you who specially wished the Queen Mother a birthday. Built.”
The speaker was Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. She was the cousin of the queen's mother, and the two families had always been close.
The Queen Mother laughed after hearing this: "You have good eyesight. You discovered it before the Aijia said anything."
"I can't blame you for being tall, madam. You really stand tall and can see far!"
The lady who was on good terms with Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs followed up with a few words of teasing. Many women and ladies at the table laughed, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
"That's all." The Queen Mother looked helpless:
"The Ai family really has all the good things that I can't hide from you. However, the bamboo building is called the Star-Zhaing Building. It is indeed very good. The queen is filial and considerate. The Ai family also likes it. Why don't everyone look at the birthday girl of the Ai family today?" Come on, let’s go and have a look together.”
The Queen Mother's words are all in this regard, how can anyone be unwilling?
Moreover, many people did find it boring to sit here, and were also interested in the Star-Zhaing Tower mentioned in the Queen Mother's words. They thought it would be better to go and pass the time and take a look together.
"Since the Queen Mother has said so, of course we should go and see the Star-Zhain Tower!"
"Yes! The Queen's filial piety is really touching."
"..."
Everyone hit it off immediately and stood up at the table.
Xie Ziyue also raised her hand, signaling Taoxiang to help her.
"Empress..." Taoxiang lowered her voice to remind.
Star-Zhaing Tower... Although they haven't seen it yet, they have seen Kang Delu and a group of young eunuchs beside the queen delivering things there before. The queen handled it single-handedly, so it is inevitable that nothing bad will happen to the empress again.
"It's okay." Xie Ziyue lowered her voice, "I just got up to take a look, not necessarily going up."
She is heavy and doesn't like to move up and down, so she just walks around.
Tao Xiang felt relieved after hearing this and helped Xie Ziyue up.
So Xie Ziyue followed the female family members and headed towards the Star Reaching Tower.
I had only heard of the name before and had not come to see it, but just from the name, I knew that this attic must be quite high.
Now after arriving, I discovered that although this attic is a bamboo building, it actually has a stargazing platform, and the scenery was built with great care, and it is not very high. It looks very elegant.
Because the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, the Queen also hung Buddhist scriptures all over the attic, and everyone could see her intentions.
Not only the court ladies were full of praise, but even the Queen Mother herself repeatedly lamented the Queen's filial piety.
"Mother." When the atmosphere was harmonious, Princess Fukang suggested coquettishly:
"The queen is so considerate, why don't we all go up and have a look? It looks so beautiful from the outside, but the above must be more attentive!"
