When she saw the brocade bag on Gu Xuan's waist, Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment. The expression on her face remained unchanged, and there was a smile on her lips.
But the eyes that kept staring at Gu Xuan proved that her heart was not peaceful.
The tip bag actually appeared on the princess...
The princess would not hang the kit on her own body. Xie Ziyue must have asked her to hang it. If Xie Ziyue felt that there was a note inside, she would definitely open it and read it.
If Xie Ziyue read the content, what would she do?
Concubine Rou began to look at Xie Ziyue without any trace, and saw that she was feeding Princess Xiangjia a small piece of watermelon. She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes.
Xie Ziyue is not a simple-minded person, which can be seen from the observation that she has been in the palace for so long.
Her weak point is nothing more than the little princess. When a concubine offended the princess before, the news of her scolding her in public had already spread throughout the palaces.
If she read the contents of the kit, would she hang it on her daughter?
Doesn't this mean putting the little princess in danger?
A cautious person like Xie Ziyue would not do such a stupid thing even if she didn't know what was on the list in her kit.
So there are only two possibilities. The first is that Xie Ziyue did not check the brocade bag. Because she doted on the little princess, she directly hung the brocade bag on her body.
The second is that there was nothing in the kit. Xie Ziyue thought someone had lost the gadget, so she didn't think much about it.
For Concubine Rou, the worst is the second one. But she didn't dare to bet, she had to figure out what the possibilities were.
If there are still notes in the kit, everything you planned before can still be implemented.
Concubine Rou's heart was spinning a thousand times, but the ice cream and fruits in front of her didn't move much.
Rong Jieyu, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but smile and said: "Concubine Rou is really not greedy. She placed such delicious ice cream and fruits in front of her without even taking a bite."
The concubines who usually had a good relationship with Rong Jieyu all covered their mouths and chuckled:
"Sister Rong is joking. When did sister care so much about Concubine Rou? Maybe she is thinking about the food in front of Concubine Rou, right?"
Rong Jieyu has a plump figure, so her body is hot. As soon as the ice cream and fruits were served in front of her, she finished her portion very quickly.
Maybe it was so delicious. Seeing that the one in front of Concubine Rou was barely moving, she couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, being teased by all the concubines, he couldn't help but said shyly: "Eating too much ice cream will make you gain weight. I'm just asking."
When Concubine Rou heard this, her eyebrows moved and she placed her share of ice cream on Rong Jieyu's table:
"If Rong Jieyu doesn't dislike it, she will eat this. I have been feeling unwell recently and I really cannot bear it."
Rong Jieyu has always been greedy, and she hasn't eaten ice cream for a long time. It had been a hot day recently and she hadn't eaten enough to begin with. Seeing that Concubine Rou was willing to give up her share, she immediately beamed with joy, thanked her and started eating happily.
The other concubines laughed when they saw Rong Jieyu like this.
The atmosphere here was peaceful. Xie Ziyue on the opposite side ate all the ice cream and fruits in front of her in order to prevent Gu Xuan from having to eat cold food.
When she finished the last bite, she looked down and saw her daughter looking at her pitifully, and couldn't help but tap her forehead with her finger:
"What did you tell your mother and concubine before coming here?" She deliberately darkened her face:
"You said you don't want to eat these cold things. Why are you so disobedient after you come here and want to eat everything?"
Gu Xuan was stunned. Anyway, the concubine had already finished all the ice cream. She would never get another bite no matter how hard she tried.
She had just soaked it hard, and her mother-in-law only gave her a small piece of watermelon that had been soaked in well water, and not a morsel of the ice cream she had longed for.
Gu Xuan puffed up her cheeks angrily, like a little puffer fish.
But it was just some food, so Gu Xuan was only angry for a while, and soon she was the best in the world with her mother and concubine, clinging to her side like a little tail.
Han Xianzong called all the concubines to hold an ice banquet here, but he was hampered by political affairs. When he hurried over after handling the matter, the concubines had already returned to their respective courtyards.
"Your Majesty, I believe all the ladies have gone back." Laifu smiled beside him, "You tonight..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw a slim figure walking out of the side path, and it turned out to be Concubine Rou in a white dress.
Concubine Rou held a few freshly broken jasmine branches in her arms. The small flowers grew evenly on the branches. Han Xianzong's eyes were fixed on those jasmine branches for an instant.
There was just the right amount of surprise on her face, and the jasmine in her hand made her jade bones and icy muscles look even more demure and beautiful under the bright moonlight.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." After a brief look of surprise on her face, Concubine Rou slowly turned around and her voice was calm and calm, which made people feel soothed.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou, is so excited. Why are you still here so late?" Laifu asked with a smile.
But he was inquiring about Concubine Rou's intentions without leaving any trace.
The other concubines had all left at this time, and she was the only one who stayed here, waiting for Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty.
But this is where Laifu is puzzled. No one knows that Han Xianzong is coming. After all, His Majesty was still dealing with political affairs just now.
It would be unreasonable to come here now only on a temporary basis. If Concubine Rou deliberately waited here, it would be unreasonable.
"I just thought that the moonlight was very beautiful tonight and the jasmine flowers around me were fragrant. I thought there were no flowers in the bedroom, so I just picked a few branches and put them back."
Concubine Rou's reply was spotless, and it was indeed in line with what she had done. After all, when she came out just now, she was holding jasmine in her arms.
Han Xianzong just looked at her without speaking.
"Your Majesty," Concubine Rou looked up, her eyes filled with water, "Why don't you go sit with me at my concubine's place?"
Han Xianzong glanced at the jasmine flower in her hand. Although he didn't say anything, he took two steps forward.
A smile flashed in Concubine Rou's eyes, and she took the initiative to lead the way.
On the other side, Concubine De saw the jasmine flowers in Xie Zi’s confinement room and she was still pruning them, and couldn’t help but wonder:
"I remember that my sister likes the floral scent of citrus the most. Does she also like jasmine?"
Although jasmine has a fragrant fragrance, it will inevitably become boring after being smelled for a long time, which is not Xie Ziyue's type.
Gu Xuan on the side felt that she had a brand new nose, and she didn't know who smelled more sensitively, the new nose or the old nose, so she got closer and squirmed vigorously, like a small animal.
The scent of jasmine suddenly penetrated her nose, and Gu Xuan choked and sneezed loudly.
"Why are you so curious about everything?" Xie Ziyue pulled Gu Xuan away angrily and asked her to sit aside, then turned around and replied to Concubine De's question:
"His Majesty's biological mother used to like jasmine the most. There used to be few in the palace, but there were a lot of them here at the Summer Resort, so I asked my servants to buy some."
"So that's it." Concubine De suddenly realized.
