"The Imperial Concubine is here!" the eunuch waiting at the entrance sang loudly.
The ministers, family members, and low-ranking concubines who were seated stood up and saluted one after another.
Xie Ziyue walked slowly to the front and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Queen."
"The imperial concubine has just given birth, why should she be so polite? Please get up quickly, so as not to hurt yourself."
No matter how the Queen Mother felt about Xie Ziyue in her heart, at least her attitude on the surface was very good, affectionate and kind, making it impossible to fault her.
Xie Ziyue nodded and stood up. She nodded to the other people who saluted her and motioned for them to sit down. You're welcome.
At this time, the queen followed up with a few words of teasing: "After giving birth to the eldest princess, the imperial concubine has also gained a lot of weight, and she looks even more radiant."
Xie Ziyue's face has more flesh than before pregnancy, and her lines appear much softer. But it looked better, which made the queen jealous.
Her appearance can only be considered to be of good quality. If it were not for her prominent family background, she would not be able to take the position of queen.
And Xie Ziyue's appearance is stunning, even after giving birth. Dressed up like this today, she is the most dazzling in the whole palace. Haven't you seen that since she came out, Han Xianzong's eyes have been all on her?
The queen was depressed, but there was nothing unusual on her face, a smile on her face.
Xie Ziyue naturally thanked her for the compliment.
Taoxiang stood behind Xie Ziyue, and the Queen Mother's eyes had long noticed the baby in Taoxiang's arms.
Seeing that the atmosphere was peaceful and it was the right time, he smiled and said:
"The Ai family hasn't seen the eldest princess yet. Come, bring her over and show her to the Ai family."
She is the Queen Mother, and this is the Emperor's first heir. She naturally wants to show her love for the eldest princess in front of so many people.
Taoxiang glanced at Xie Ziyue subconsciously.
In public, it was impossible for the Queen Mother to do anything detrimental to the princess, so Xie Ziyue nodded and motioned for Taoxiang to carry Gu Xuan over.
So Taoxiang carefully carried the princess to the Queen Mother, carefully knelt down and brought Gu Xuan's swaddling clothes in front of the Queen Mother.
Princess Fukang entered the palace early in the morning, because now there was a little bitch in the mansion. Out of sight, out of mind, and to emphasize her status as the legitimate princess, she liked to come to the palace whenever she had something to do.
Because of the concubine incident, Han Xianzong no longer stopped her from entering the palace.
Of course she couldn't miss the big day like today, which was a full moon banquet for the princess, and she came in early in the morning.
At this moment, seeing Taoxiang holding the princess born from the imperial concubine, she also came over to take a look.
The swaddled baby has fair skin, highlighted by the red color, like a ball of jade, with big, black and bright eyes that look very smart, and the bright red mouth is just like the imperial concubine.
And he was babbling all the time. Even Princess Fukang, who had never liked Xie Ziyue, could not blame her conscience to say that the child was not well-behaved.
But thinking that this was Xie Ziyue's daughter, she really couldn't bear to like her at all. Seeing that everyone below was looking at her, she pretended to touch Gu Xuan's face with her hand:
"Your Highness the Princess is really cute. I like her too."
She wore delicate and slender armor on her hands. When she raised her fingers to touch Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan shivered.
Tao Xiang also had a troubled look on her face, while Xie Ziyue's eyes widened and her breathing quickened for a moment.
What if those long and thin nails poked my daughter’s face?
My daughter's skin is so delicate that it will turn red if she touches it accidentally.
Seeing Princess Fukang's hand getting closer and closer to her daughter, Xie Ziyue took an uncontrollable step forward, wanting to grab her daughter immediately and hold her in her arms.
"Wait a minute." Just when Xie Ziyue was extremely anxious, Han Xianzong said: "Fukang, if you have such long nails on your hands, don't touch A-Xuan's face. I'll poke her later. she."
"Eaaaaaaaaa-" Gu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her father's voice.
Fortunately, the father stopped Princess Fukang, otherwise she would have been really scared.
Xie Ziyue was also relieved.
If Han Xianzong hadn't spoken earlier, I might have been the one who spoke out just now.
"Brother Emperor." Princess Fukang pursed her lips unhappily upon hearing this: "Is Ronger such a careless person?"
Although she was very unhappy, she did not dare to disobey Han Xianzong and put down her hand very unhappy.
The Queen Mother snorted slightly to show her dissatisfaction with this matter. But her voice was very low, and only Gu Xuan, who was close, heard her.
"Your Majesty," seeing that Princess Fukang and the Queen Mother were embarrassed, the Queen quickly came out to smooth things over:
"Speaking of which, the eldest princess has been born for so long, and I haven't seen what the eldest princess looks like. Why don't I bring the eldest princess over and let me see it too."
Han Xianzong looked at the infant in Taoxiang's arms and felt a little itchy. The queen's words hit him right, so he smiled and said:
"Hurry up and bring the emperor over."
Compared with her reluctance to carry Her Royal Highness to the Queen Mother, Taoxiang's steps were much lighter when she was carried to Han Xianzong.
She quickly brought Gu Xuan to Han Xianzong. Gu Xuan liked her father very much. It was thanks to her father that what happened just now happened.
She was babbling happily. Han Xianzong couldn't stand hearing his daughter's delicate voice. He didn't hide his love for her at all, and actually took Gu Xuan from Taoxiang's hand.
Moreover, he is very familiar with the way he holds his daughter. He hugs her frequently.
Seeing this, the concubines and ministers were very surprised.
When her daughter arrived in Han Xianzong's arms, Xie Ziyue felt relieved and stopped standing. Instead, she walked to her seat and sat down.
"Your Majesty is so skillful in holding the princess, so he must hold the princess often, right?"
Concubine De looked at the subtle expression on the queen's face on the stage, as if she was deliberately trying to annoy the queen, and asked with a smile.
"Haha." Han Xianzong laughed heartily a few times, hugged his daughter and said, "Axuan is my precious daughter. I was so happy when I saw her, so naturally I hug her often."
The ministers valued the princess even more highly, and they all congratulated His Majesty on the birth of the princess.
Only the third prince shook his head and glanced in the direction of Ba Fujin vaguely:
"Before, Bafujin took the pulse of the Imperial Concubine and said that the Imperial Concubine was pregnant with a prince. Unexpectedly, the empress gave birth to a princess. It seems that Bafujin's medical skills are not accurate."
He took a sip of wine in a leisurely tone and deliberately made a loud noise.
The originally peaceful and lively banquet suddenly fell silent.
In this case, Bafujin could only attend the salute with a look of shame on his face:
"I am not good at academics. I made a mistake in diagnosing the imperial concubine before. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
